Greater New York,

The Greater New York became an
accomplished fact Saturday. Mayor
Van Wyck assuming the duties of
his office. The area of the city is 3lT
square miles, and the population is
estimated at the start of the new
year at 3, $50, 900. The assessed val
uation of the real estate is 81, 1867, $780,
600 and of the personal property
$404, 900, 900. 1t is probably as great as
the realty. The population is larger
than the original thirteen colonies
contained at the close of the Revolu-
tionary war Mayor Van Wyck has
staff of $4,000 employees, a salary
list of $50, 600, 900 and the expendi-
ture of $75, 900, 900 year for the sup
port OF the city and the extension of
its public Improvements. At the
beginning of this century, when the
second centennial of the settlement of
Manhattan island was celebrated, the
municipal expenses of the city of
New York amounted to $150,000 per
annum. OF this total, $1,000 was
paid for maintaining wells and pumps
to supply the people with water. To-
day So, 900, 900 is spent annually for
that purpose. In 1909 So, 900 was
spent for the improvement of the
streets. During the next year from
81, 1000, 600 to IS, 900, 900 will be ex-
pended. Then the fire department
cost Sic 200 year. In 1897 SO, 500
600 was paid for its support. In 1903
$34, 900 was expended for charity. In
1887, 81, 537, 900, and there was cor
responding increase In expenses all
along the line.

MONT CHATEAU SOLD.
/. N. Weight the Purchaser :
Amount PnidaWas 1880.


On Monday George Baker, acting
as special commissioner, sold in front
of the court house the hotel property
on Cheat known as Mont Chateau to
A. M. Weight, of Pittsburg, for
$500, that being the highest bid.
Mr.. Voight, the purchaser, was the
manager of the resort for some time
and has been connected with the VEN
ture in several capacities. The prop
erty has not been paying invest
ment although there is but little
reason why it should not be. The
new owner and several attorneys have
gone over to look at the property to-
day. 1t is not known what DISPOSE
tion will be made of the resort, but it
is likely that it will be opened next
summer for the entertainment of that
portion of the public who want first
class place to spend the heated term.
We hope that the up hill work in con-
nection with the affairs of the hotel
have passed and that it will in the
future pay handsome income to its
owner.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if let to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine Is liable to
result in that dread disease, pneu
monia. We know of no better rem
edy to cure cough or cold than
Cha mberlain's Cough remedy. We
have-used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfac-
tion.-Oolagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This Is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventative
of pncnmaaia. Among the many
thoGsaa'is who .lavc used it for cold
and lagrippe S'e have never yet learned
of sin.'la case hasing resulted in

Some SeasonabIe Proverbs.

Here are few seasonable proverbs,
interesting, perhaps, to those who
concern themselves about the
weather:
If a Christmas ice hangs on the
willow, clover may be cut at Easter.
December changeabe and mild,
the whole winter will remain a
child.
The month that comes in good will
90 out bad.
January warm, the Lord have
mercy.
If 1t SHOWS on Christmas night,
we expect a good hop crop next year.
The first three days of January
rule the coming three months.
The II days commencing December
25 and Guiding January 5 are said to
be the keys to the weather of the
year.
If the SUD shines through the apple
tree on Christmas Day, there will be
an abundant crop the following year.
The Germans say: "The shepherd
would rather see his wife enter the
stable on Christmas day than the
sum-"

At the Pump station Last Saturday.

was employed in wiping the pump at
The station he was very badly injured.
His arm was mashed In horrible
way. The bones of the right fore arm
were the ones to suffer.
While he was wiping the pump
his arm was caught between the cross
head and the tagging, and before he
hardly knew what was happening he
was badly injured. DR.. Wade was
called and he dressed the injured
member at once and Kay was then
removed to his home. The injured
man seems to be the victim of a PEI
culiar com bination of circumstances.
Not long ago he had a very virulent
carbunkle on his arm which prevented
his work ng for good while and now
he has this accident to distress him.
1t will be considerable time before he
recovers far enough to do any more

The Eastman murder, case recent
~ tried Ia Tucker county. excited the
attention Of the State.
The prosecution proved a cold
hooded ngrder. The defense proved
that it was purely case Of self
defense. The jury struck the differ
ence as near as possible, and said
manslaugnter The judge endeavor-
ed to make the manslaughter as obi
Gus as possible by straining the law
iE the penalty imposed.
Thus we have one Of those cases
which divides a court and divides
community as to the degree Of guilt
involved in the act which the de-
PENDANT has committed, and the pen
atty which ought to be imposed.
We have one OF those cases in
which the prominence and popular
ity of the parties make it difficult for
the administration OF justice to pro-
coed without prejudice.
In all cases tried by a court, and
especially in all cases like this, it is
just as important that justice should
appear to be dom as that Justice
should be actually done. No result
ought to be reached either in the
direction Of mercy or vindictiyeness
which would give ground for rcticc-
tion upon the steady and uniform
administration OF the law. When
the forms Of law have been strictly
observed and the legitimate result
which the evidence warrants has thus
been reached, 1t ought to satisfy the
the popular judgment. and every law
abiding citizens ought to chccrfully
acquiesce, although he be convinced
that exact justice has failed to be
melted out. The West Virginia Bar.
