THE following items are from the
Brownsville correspondence of the Tn

A new postoflice is to be established
at Ehon station on the p. Y. 81 G.
Upon the recommendation OF Congress-
man Acheson 1t has been decided to
call 1t Free River, in honor of the
freeing of the Monongahela.
The organization of the Mononga-
hela Navigation company will be
maintained until all debts have been
paid and all bills collected and will
then be dissolved. To this company
belongs much Of the credit for deyel-
oping the Monongahela valley.
The Pittshurg and Morgantown
packet, Florence Belle, is on the docks
for repairs. She will be much i'm
proved by having her hurricane deck
extended TO form a shade deck and
by having her plate house placed on
the upper deck. She will be COM
pletely overhauled.
The recent rains caused such a rapid
rise in the Monongahela on Monday
evening that there was much appre-
hension among the residents near the
river. Yesterday morning the water
reached its greatest height, % feet.
To-day it has fallen sufficiently TO al
low the regular packets, which were
compelled TO tie up to the bank, to
resume their regular trips. At Ak
tons yard a dam had to be built in
order to protect the bow of boat on
the ways, but no damage was done
and no losses in the vicinity are re-
ported.
The members OF the last Pennsyl-
vania legislature enacted a wise law
for which they have not been given
the proper credit, because it Is not
generally known. An act of July 8,
1897, gives to school boards every
where in the state the right to pur-
chase and pay out Of the school funds
an American flag, flag staff and all
the necessary appliances. This pa
triotic action by the legislature will
probably be responded to generally.
The Brownsville school is In need Of
an American flag at the present time.

THE HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE.

Swisher's History of Hampshire
county is out at last, after long and
vexations delays and disappointmepts,
due to an unforeseen accident which
occurred to the press of the printers,
necessitltlng the printing of part
of the book in Philadelphia, as well
as delay on the part of the binders,
making the issue of the book two
months later than had been expected.
The books arrived here Monday and
Mr.. Swisher, who has been at his
home on the Levels for several days,
arrived here yesterday morning and
began the distribution Of the work to
subscribers The Book more than
fulfills expectations and will be high
ly satisfactory to the public. A num-
der of orders have already been re-
ceived, we learn, by persons who
were not originally subscribers and
it is more than probable that every
single copy Of the book will be quick
ly sold. 1t is work that no citizen
of the county, who has family, can
afford to do without, if they are at
all able to buy it. -Hampshire Re

CUMBERLAND, Md: Jan. 10
David L. Luke, general manager of
the Piedmont Pulp and Paper Com
pany, at Luke, this county, which
has the government postal card con-
tract, and which employs over 500
men, states that unless the prosecu-
tion of his company by the city Of
Cumberland for alleged Potomac river
pollution is stopped he will be COM
PEELED to accept one of the many in
vitations he is receiving to locate
elsewhere. He says his company is
in no degree responsible for the con-
ditions complained of at Cumberland.
The case decided adversely at Fred
erick has been appealed.
Grafton and Clarksburg have made
bona tide offers for the removal of the
plant. The fixtures of the postal
card factory at Castleton, n. Y,
which has been closed, have been
transferred to the new factory at

but rather than see the movement
fail he would double his subscription.
1t was then decided that the com
mittee meet every night TO compare
notes until the required sum is raised
and that no more meetings be held
until that time. The people present
felt that everybody would give some

made to see every property holder in

from them all. The committee must

In reply TO the article of r. ID. Hell

ION, the editors of The Athenaeum
desire TO state to the students and to
all Others interested the ENACT posi-
tion they took in publishing the first
article on this controversy over
technical point in the constitution of
the Columbian literary society.
The article we published, signed
"Anti-Tammany" read by un-
biased and unprejudice1 persons, be-
fore 1t was given to the printers and
declared by them to give a correct
statement of the whole matter in dis
pute. We published it as news, for
many of the students who do not at
tend the Columbian society did not
know of this terrible disruption
as one Of its members put it. The
result Of the squabble did not concern
us at all. for neither Of us belong to
that society, but when the leading
students of the University prepare
correct statement Of the whole dispute
and it shows practically the same con
dition OF affairs that the arbitration
committee discovered after careful
elaboration, 1t seemed our duty to
publish it.
When all the type Of our January
number was set and ready to be made
up in the forms, Mr.. Heironimus re-
quested us to publish the article that
appeared yesterday in this paper. To
do so would have delayed our issue
several days after the regular date for
publication. We agreed to publish a
condensed form of it in our issue of
January 28th. eve thought it was
too long. AS presented it would
have filed three pages of The Athe-
naeum). But Mr.. Heironimus would
not listen to us and said he would
publish it as circular letter if no
other way was available.
This is true statement Of our case,
to which we are willing TO make atfi-
davit.
1t is useless to make such fuss
about trifles and to us it seems to be
"Much Ado About Nothing"
Let us hope that the two Knights
of Parliamentary chivalry, "Sir Don
QuiXote" Heironimus and Esquire

sheath their swords, doff their armor,
corral the ponies, and learn the arts
of peace. EDITORS ATHENAEUM.

LOOKING INDIAN.
How the Small Boy Recovered Lost
stickpin.

Somebody dropped stickpin in
the hall the other day and had hard
work to find it. She hunted high
and low, and on her hands and knees
and with candle specially procured
for the purpose, but it was no use;
the pin was very tiny and unperceiv-
able, its value being that Of associa-
ton, rather than size or brilliancy.
The somebody, a final shake of the
rugs, was just about to give it up for
ever when one Of the children chanc-
ed to come along. ssWhy don't you
look Indian for it?" he asked Be,
fore the somebody realized what was
meant, down dropped the youngster
on the floor, his head and his whole
body lying sidewise and just as close
to the dead level as possible. In
this position his eyes moved rapidly
over the floor II have it," he
shouted presently, and sure enough,
right in the middle Of the floor in SO
plain place that it had escaped no.
tice, was the missing stickpin. The
yolngster then explained that sslook-
ing Indian" meant putting the head
to the ground in order to catch sight
of the smallest object between one
self and the horizon. seThey do it
on the plains all the time" he said.
seThat's why they can always tell
who's coming. But 1T works in
houses just as well as on the plains.
Why, we never lose anything in the
nursery nowadays--we just look
Indian and find it right off,"

Guy Bros. Minstrels.

The jackson, Mich. Courier of re-
cent date says of them:
This superb company held the
boards at the Hubbard last evening,
and it was the universal verdict that
this is the very best minstrel troupe
that has visited jackson in many a
dav. Each member of the company
is an artist in his line. The compa-
ny came here comparatively unher
aided, possibly the fault of its press
agent, and the character Of the per-
for nance last night was an agreea-
BILE surprise to those present. The
Guy Bros. have too good company
to allow remissness in the way of
advertising. Should they see fit to
make another date for jackson this
season, or at any time in the future,
they can rest assured that crowd
ed house will greet them. The Cour
Ter takes pleasure in stating the fact
that there is not a mediocral feature
in their entertainment. There is also
an entire absence of alleged wit, bors

The alarm came just as the mass
meeting to consider tie glass house
matter had adjourned and the fire
men were on the ground quickly.
When first discovered it was thought
that the fire could be put out by the
bucket brigade and the effort was
made to fight it that way. The fight
ers thought that they had put tue
blaze out and had ceased their labors
but it broke out again. The alarm
was then given

water was turned on the fire was put
out although 1t was very difficult to

walls and between the two parts of

in great measure.
The fire started from a coal of fire
dropping from a crate in one Of the
upstairs rooms. 1t fell on the floor
and burned hole through the floor.
Then it ran along under the floor
until it got into the wall and from
there it went to the cornice. The
whole wall was on fire inside when
the firemen began to fight it.
The loss was about two hundred
