Modern Dentistry.

The dentistry of the 10Th century
differs as much from the dental work
of I'VE olden time" as the modern
safety bicycle does from the old
fashioned wheelbarrow. The latest,
most perfect and artistic dentistry
is known as crown and bridge work.
In this manner of inserting artificial
teeth, the old bunglesome. cumber-
some, filthy plate is done away with.
And it is to be regretted that so few
dentists thoroughly understand this
new departure in dentistry, especial
ly the older members of the profess
sion who have not had the opportu-
nifty to learn crown and bridge work,
as it is only in the past few years
that the colleges give anything like
thorough course in this new de-
parture.
Fully realizing this fact j have
taken special pains to fit myself in
every particular for this special work.
Not only through the dental college
but have recently taken two special
courses in this branch of dentistry
from those acknowledged to be the
best teachers. Come and see me. See
ing is believing. My prices are
right, my work is right, and you will
be more than pleased.

that would be increased If the hopes

GEN. HOLLY CHOSEN
Clerk of the State Supreme Court
Five Ballots Taken Without Change.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. H.
Ex-Adjutant General James A. Holly
was chosen clerk of the Supreme
Court to-day to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of o. S. Long. The APP
pointment of clerk was made in Sc

taken before an election was made.
How the Judges stood on each ballot
they decline to say, but it is believed
that Holly received three votes on
each ballot and the several ballots
were taken with the hope Of making
it unanimous, but three was all that
Holly got on any ballot. Those who
voted for Holly were Judges English,
Dent and McWhorter. General Hol-
ly qualified and Immediately entered

A HORSE ON us.
Peculiar Accident to a Dray
Horse on Walnut Street.

Horrible Condition of the Streets-Ey-
erybody i'm favor of Paving The Post
is Advocating it-B0ats in Front OF
the Court House.
Yesterday afternoon while Harry
Fleming was coming up Walnut
street driving the grey horse belong
ing to Jason Clark the animal met
with a peculiar accident. The street
suddenly gave way with him and
he went In until his body was in the
mud. For some minutes he was I'M
able to get out but he persevered
and scrambled out OF his perilous
position. The accident was caused
by the sewer which had washed out
a lot of dirt without it showing on
top. There was but thin shell of
earth and when the weight of the
horse went on it it collapsed. That
the horse escaped without any bro
ken bones is piece of good fortune
This makes the second hole that has
come from sewer washouts and the
matter is growing monotonous. A
light was placed in the hole to show
wagoners how to avoid it.
The condition of the streets is a
shame and disgrace to the town.
Such accidents as we have been hav
ing are enough to make us the laugh
ing stock of the state The thing
has come to such pass that the
people are unanimous for pavements
and a proposition to that effect
would be carried with rush. The
council soon to be installed will early
after its installation submit the
matter to the voters and they will
do the rest.
The thing has become so notori-
Gus that there was boat placed in
the street in front of the court house
for the purpose of ferrying people
over. The Post has seconded
the efforts of this paper and is cal
ling for the permanent improvement
of our eight navigable streams. Ev-
erybody is in favor of it and we cant
get a chance to say so too quick.

FAIRMONT FACTS.
All the NewsfrOm Mari0n's Metropolis
Culled from the Index.

When fewer young men in this
county carry revolvers, crimes will be
less frequent.
At last Fairmont can report jail
delivery and is up with the other West
Virginia towns.
Dave Reay, Of Duke, Monongalia
county, was in town Saturday and
left that evening for Grafton.
Miss RoZetta Devalt, of Smithtown,
Monongalia county, is the guest OF c.
W. Swisher, of this place.
Prof. J. Walter Barnes, principal of
the state Normal school, who has
been i'll with fever, is reported much
better.
Smith Hood, ST., is now in charge
of the Fairmont electric light works,
with Office in the same place. Mr..
Hood is clever business man and
our electric system will doubtless
thrive under his management.
The manager of the Grafton opera
house is at the present time engaged
in war with the newspapers of that
city-a war in which it is bound to
get left. Shows without advertising
can not expect to do business.
All attempt was lnade to rob the q.
G. Cans saloon last evening and had
the thieves not walked up George
Turner, who sleeps there, they would
likely have been successful. The rob-
bers first went to the outside wall of
the refrigerator room and removed
enough brick to force an entrance.
They then tried to pry the door open
but were unsuccessful as was the at
tempt to cut out the panels. They
then went to one of the windows fac
ing Washington street and were break
ing in there when George Turner
awoke and scared them off.

SUNNYSIDE'S BOUNDARIES.
Metes and Bounds of the New Adj
dition to the Town.

A Considerable Addition - Knocks
Out the Seneca Incorporation If IL
Carries--- VIII Likely be Ratified
The Sentiment All that way.
The survey of the new addition TO
the borough has been made. 1t takes
in great sweep Of territory and will
add very much TO the population
and taxable value Of the town. 1t
will put the day nearer when Morgan
town can get city charter. In order
to get a city charter the town must
have within the incorporation two
thousand people, and with the addi-
ton of Sunnyside and with the natus-
al increase of population 1t will have
before the effort is made. 1t is believed
that we will have the required num-
Der. At any rate the proposed addi-
tion will help wonderfully.
The lines of the addition begin at
the town line on the river, and run
down to fourth street which is
between the wooden mill and
the planning mill. Then it runs up
Fourth street to Grant avenue which
Is the first street below Col. Gilmore's
residence. The line goes along Grant
TO Dille's line and from there to the
Beverly road. From the road 1t
crosses Jacos property to Jones Ave-
nue., leaving out the Wiles addition
according to the wishes of the people
living up there, and along this avenue
to its end, continuing in straight
line to the top Of Prices hill, where
1t again joins the town line.
1t will be seen that the lines as
proposed will prevent, if the election
carries, the formation of the town of
Seneca. Before town can be incorpor-
ated it must have an area OF LAT
acres and the portion which will be
left will be totally inadequate to in
corporate. The election will be held
before the Seneca matter can be voted
on and when the time for their cleo
tion comes they will be without any
territory to incorporate. OF course
all this depends on whether or not
Sunnyside and the town both vote
In favor OF the addition There is
very little chance however that the
matter will not carry as the people
are very much in favor of the plan IL
the expression OF opinion can be relied
upon. The date of the election has
not been fixed but it will be at once.
The matter will be laid before council
In the form OF a petition and they will
at once order the election to be held.
The petition must be signed by five
free holders Of the proposed addition.
In the election all property holders in
the addition can vote on the PROPOSE
ton whether they are residents of the
addition or not. 1t may happen and
will happen that men who live In
town and own lots on Sunnyside will
vote twice on the matter. A major
ity in both places is required to carry
the election.
The opposition TO the suburb COM
ing in will disappear before the cleo
ton and it will be nearly unanimous
if the signs can be relied upon. Nor
gantown wants them and will vote in
favor of their coming in.

GOOD VERSES.
ROOM FOR YANKEE DooDLEi


q. w. Bengough in New York Times)
Yankee Doodles come to town
(Ihe town that's known. as Paree),
And there the law he's laying down
In manner far from chary;
Il want more space in this worlds fair"
He cries, for my exhibits,
And l Will have a proper share,
No matter who prohibits!
So get a move on, hustle, hump,
Kick out that pet black poodle
I've got to spread myself, SO jump,
Make room for Yankee Doodle!"
The Frenchmen shrug and dance about
With vain gesticulations;
Impossible Missouri" they shout,
,,r Behold, 50 many nationsl'
"lmpossiblei' yells Uncle Sam,
You're talking French, l fancy,
mat word with me means be a clam
But L don't parley Francey.
'Impossible! ride lous word,
Fit only for a noodle;
You hear my old bald-head bird
Make room for Yankee Doodle! y
Your fair ground isn't big enough?
Then so and make it biggerl
Let up on all this idle CUFF,
And show some sort of vigor:
appropriate the whole of France,
Go buy it, lease it-let it
I'm here to do my song and Dance
And don't you folks forget it!
I've come to greet the century's dawn
Here with the whole caboodle,
But I need space to do it on
Make room for Yankee Doodle!"
The powers of Europe, standing by,
See in this Paris scrapping
A parable and a prophecy
Of altered eastern mapping;
They tumble to the salient fact
That Sam has got a mission,
And for the part he has to act
Must have a big position.
Yes Yankee Doodle's come to town
With power as well as Doodle,
And Europe must, with smile or frown
Make way for Yankee Doodlel

AUTUMN.

The year grows still again, the surging
wake
Of full-sailed summer folds its burrows up,
AS after passing of an argoSy
Old Silence settles back upon the sea,
Spring, the young morn, and Summer, the
strong noon,
Have dreamed and done and died for
Autumn'S sake;
Autumn that finds not for a loss so dear
Solace in stack and garner hers too soon
Autumn, the faithful widow of the year.
Autumn, a poet once so full of song,
Wise in all rhymes of blossom and of bud,
Hath lost the early magic of his tongue
And hath no passion in his failing blood.
Hear We no sound of sobbing in the air?
Ills his. Low bending in a secret lane,
Late blooms of second childhood in his
hair
He tries old magic like dotard mage;
Tries spell and SPELL to weep and try
again,
Yet not daisy hears and everywhere
The hedgerow rattles like an empty cage
He hath no pleasure in his silken skies.
Nor delicate ardors of the yellow land;
Yea, dead, for all it's gold, the woodland
lies,
And all the threats of music filed with
sand.
Neither to him across the stubble field
May stack or garner any comforl bring,
Who loveth more this jasmine he hath
made,
The little tender rhyme he yet can sing,
Than yesterday with all its pompous yield,
Or all his shaken laurels on his head.

(From Northern Capital.)
In the dim downright of the waking world,
when life in blindness wrought
And savage tribes in the uncleared land
for food and freedom fought,
There rose a singer among the clans in
And he found his home wherever he
strayed-for he knew that life is One
He dwelt with the tribes of the marsh ano
moor-he sat at the board of kings;
He tasted the toll of the burdened slave,
and the JOY that triumph brings;
But whether to jungle or palace hall OF
white-walled tent he came,
He was brother to king and soldier and
slaye-his welcome was the sa1he.
There has risen a singer out of the east.
in the clatter and chatter and strife;
The babble of markets and blur of print
the turmoil men call life.
He came to the task that was set for him,
and scarce was that work begun
When he knew that the world is a-build-
ing yet-and the power that builds is
One.
He knew by the spirits countersign that
Teuton and Celt and Greek,
Kadr and Pathan and Rajput king, the
self-same language speak.
Face to face he has talked with each-they
have given him of their best;
He has made his home on the sea and the
land, and brought the east to the west.
o singer of men and the hearts Of men,
you have called the soul by name,
You have followed it's path through the

"R. OFF" ON REFORMS.

To the Editor of The Spy
1t was hoped that the action of the
city council committees regarding the
placing of a memorial to royalty on
our common" had settled the mat
ter, but certain persons desiring lit
tie notoriety do not think so.
We are repeatedly told by persons en-
tirely ignorant of the subject, Of the
benefits conferred on Ireland during
the reign of Queen Victoria. In answer,
1 will only quote few extracts-not
from a Hibernian source-but from
Englishmen of worldwide fame.
hope you will be kind enough to pub
fish them, in the interest of fair play
sd. NJ, in his communication says:
mo people on earth with the possible
exception of our own, were granted
more liberal reforms from any govern
ment, in the same period of time, as
was granted to Ireland during the
reign of the sovereign whose jubilee the
British Americans of Worcester wished
so suitably to commemorate"
Here are some of the many reforms
experienced by Irishmen during the
reign of Victoria: 'Mulhall, the statis-
tician quoted by Mr.. Gladstone in the
house of commons, gives the following
figures, attest the blessing enjoyed by
Ireland during the past glorious sixty
years:
Died of famine, 1225,O 600; evicted,
1868 O0O exiled, 5,125OOO; over-taxed,
5000, 600 year; then comes the long
list Of imprisonments, torture, and
hanging for political offenses and some
times for no offense.
The bulk of the eXiles came to Amer
lea, where according to the same stat
istician, they have produced wealth to
the amount of $S,275,000, 600.
For all the foregoing reforms, Irish
men should be as thankful for the
reign of Victoria as they might be for
the plaques of Egypt.

WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE.
Government Had to Refuse Represnta'W
GllIett's Request to Bring Back Bodies
of Massachusetts, Soldiers

Washington, Nov. Representative
Gillett of Massachusetts, has been ac-
tive for several days past in an effort to
induce the government to consent to
the immediate removal to this country
of the bodies of Massachusetts, soldiers
who lost their lives during the Santiago
campaign and were buried there His
application was the subject of consider
alton at yesterdays cabinet meeting
and the conclusion was reached that it
would not be altogether right to dis
criminate in this matter in favor of the
soldiers of any particular state, but
that a general effort should be made to
bring home the bodies of all the Ameri-
can soldiers who fell in the Cuban cam
paign as soon as suitable and complete
arrangements can be effected.
Representative Gillett asked that the
bodies of certain Massachusetts soldiers
be brought home in the naval hospital
ship Solace now about to leave Santi-
ago for the United States, bat after
Acting Secretary Allen, it was decided
that this could not be done without es-
tablishing a precedent which would
probably be very troublesome in the flu
ture. 1t is understood that it is the pur-
pose of the government to send a
corps of undertakers to Cuba and
Porto Rico equipped with all necessary
facilities for the removal of the Ameri-
can dead to the United States for bur
ial near their former homes. A ship is
to be chartered and fitted out for the
special purpose of transporting the
bodies
