ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

WE have received a neatly printed
folder containing pretty cut of the
new Baptist church at Morgantown
and a summary of the work of the
church for the first year under pastor
McCutcheon. From it we CLEAN the
following: Baptisms, Is, Received by
letter 35. BY experience 4. Total "a.
Granted letters of dismisson 3. Died
2. Total decrease 5. Net gain 40.
Present membership 1855. Contribu-
tions for all purposes So, 50S.62. The
folder is unique in arrangement.
Above the headings of each sub
ject in the report is an appropriate
Scripture selection. For instance
above the item of Baptism, Col PIP
is given in full. The names of all
persons received, dismissed and de-
ceased, are giyen.-Baptist Banner.
THE postoffice is running smoothly
under the new management and they
are rapidly becoming used to the du-
ties of the new positions in which
they have been placed. The public
will have no cause for complaint
under the new administration if
strict attention to business and a de-
sire to serve the public can avail any
thing.
IT seems pity to waste all this
good weather which could be so well
taken up in paving the streets. The
brick company is the only thing that
is holding the work back and they
should be stirred up. They may be
doing all they can but it will do no
harm to keep them reminded of what
is expected of them.

The farmers have finished their
wheat harvest. The yield was above
the average and a larger acreage
than common was sown. The har-
vest was completed earlier than us
ual this year and the farmers have
congratulations to offer themselves
on every feature of the harvest. All
the other crops are doing WELL The
grass and corn being unusually
good The fruit is a failure and but
for the berries which are not at all
plentiful the fruit crop would be a
complete failure.

THE entire regiment of immunes
turned out for the 4th of July parade
in the city of Fredericksburg. When
the West Virginia visitors left at 6 o
clock a detail of sixty men was made
to accompany them to the station.
THE coal business in this section re-
mains dnll, and the operators look for
but little revival until the war closes.
The lumber men are not complaining,
and as a general thing are doing a
good and safe business, although
prices are not as high as they be-
lieve they should be.
A RECENT issue of the widely
known weekly Truth, contained a
well written and apparently unpreju-
diced article on the Hatfield and Nc
Coy feud. West Virginia is rich in
suggestions for the writers of the
metropolitan press, If they only knew
it, happily, however, not all of just
this character.
THE bottle trade, both in green and
flint, at the Wheeling glass works,
has so improved through the latter
part of May and June, as to make the
filing of orders almost impossible.
Blowers have also become scarce, and
manufacturers are hiringworkmen for
the next fire with the understanding
of giving them full ten months
work.

Raising the Wind in France.

The French Government finding It.
self unable to increase the taxation,
which Is heavier per capita in France
than in any other country of the world.
has decided to resort to the conversion
Of its treasury bonds or rentes from 8
per cent. to 211a as the easiest, and, in
deed, the only available means of in
creasing the revenues of the state. The
ground Is taken that as the national
credit is such that the Government has
recently been able to secure temporary
loans at a per cent, the interest charge
on treasury bonds is far too high, and
that conversion scheme would re-
spond TO the present state of Frances
national credit. That the latter should
stand so high is surprising, when it Is
remembered that, although in the last
twenty-six years Frances population
has only increased by 29S,0OO inhabit-
ants, or at the rate Of about 1,5OO n
year England having doubled hers in
the last forty years., the consolidated
national debt of France has grown
from $3,OO0,000,0O0 to $1,000, 900, 900.
while the taxation, both direct and in
direct, has more than doubled.-New

Made-Up Story of a Spanish Victory
-Insursents Invade "a Rich Zone

FfeIds-Grcat LOSS of Property.

New York, Jan. ga dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
The Spanish account of the victory Of
General Castellanos and the capture OF
the headquarters of the rebel government
in the town of Esperanza, is now proved
to be fabrication. There is no such
town as Esperanza, near Cubitas. The
name of the town founded and occupied
as the capital by the rebel government is
Agramonte. Spanish troops are unable to
get near this place, being repulsed in the
mountains and forced to retire with a
heavy loss.
Latest advices from the Orient state
that the rebels are still besieging Holguin
and that the garrison can not possibly
hold out without supplies and reinforce
ments. General Pando finds it impossible
to send them through, though he is max
ing desperate efforts to do so. General
Pando's army is still along the banks of
the Cauto river and strongly intrenched,
but is unable to assume the aggressive

paign. He states as his reason that he is
short of cavalry and can not operate sue
cessfully against tue Spaniards, who have
plenty of horses. At this rate the war in
the east can last for years.
Fighting in the West.
In the western provinces, however, the
troops keep pretty well on the move but
neither side has achieved decisive results.
General Molina had what is called here
an important battle with the rebel genera
al, Betancourt, at Camarioco, in Matan-
zas province, January 20. General Mo-
lima had 1900 infantry and 400 cavalry.
He attacked the rebel camp and there
was fighting for five hours, but finally he
was obliged to retire without success. The
loss on both sides was insignificant.
The rebels are still devoting their at
tention to preparing for the coming wet
season. Every day large quantities of sup
plies of all sorts are sent to them.
A Sharp Battle.

eral Molina, OH the morning of the Goth
of January, began second attack upon
the insurgent position between Boca Ca
marioco and Punta Maya. The insurgents
were under leader Tabarts and they stood
continuous volleys until the Spanish,
about II o'clock, began an artillery fire.
The insurgents, being without cannon,
burned their cannon and made flank
movement toward the coast and the Span
sh rear, obliging General Molina to aban
don his position in order to avoid rear
attack, and compelling him to retreat to-
ward the coast.
The insurgents Immediately divided
their forces and invaded the rich zone of
sugar cane, burning immense cane fields
with incalculable loss. The Spanish had
IL killed, including captain. They bur.
led their dead and then retired. They had
% wounded.
The insurgents have burned the greater
part of the cane fields on the plantation
Union, near San Luis, although the plan
tation is protected by forts and detach-
ments.
The military authorities here criticise
General Molina for attacking the insur-
gent camp at Camarioco, as they con-
slider it unimportant and the sacrifice too
serious for the experiment.

A Cure for Consumption, CoI0nA 01d
Lung Troubles Th0t Cures.
Remarkable Discovery of ar

Chemist.

HUMANITY.

Paper May Obtain the New
and Free Scientific Sys-
tenn of Medicine
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AB-
S0LUTElY FREE AND PROFESS
SIONALLY CONFIDENTIAL.

Workers in the wide, UNEMPLOYED field Of
modern chemistry are daily astounding the
world with new wonders. Professor and
layman vie with each other in their CONF
mendable efforts to lessen the ills of human
ity. Yesterday it was Pasteur and Kock,
and today it is Slocum, with new discov-
cry which is the result of years of careful
study and research.
Foremost among the worlds greatest
chemists stands L. \. Slocum, of New York
City. His researches and experiments.
patiently carried on for years have finally
eliminated in results which are proving as
beneficial to humanity as the discoveries of
any chemist, ancient or modern. His efforts
which for years had been directed toward
the discovery of a positive cure for con-
sumption, were finally successful, and al
ready his "new scientific system of medi-
cine" has, by its timely use, permanently
cured thousands of apparently hopeless
cases and it seems a necessary and humane
duty to bring such facts to the attention Of
all invalids.
The medical profession tn pughout
America and Europe are almost UNANIMOUS
in the opinion that nearly all physical all
ments naturally tend to the generation of
consumption. The afflicted die i'll the
short, cold days of winter much faster than
in the long, hot days of summer.
The Doctor has proved the dreaded dis
case to be durable beyond doubt, in any
climate, and has on file in his American
and European laboratories thousands OF
letters of heartfelt gratitude from those
benefited or cured in all parts of the world.
No one having, or threatened with, any
disease, should hesitate day, but should
write u. o'iee. Facts prove that the Doctor
has discovered a reliable and absolute cure
for Consumption (Tuberculosis) and all
bronchial, throat, lung and chest troubles,
stubborn coughs, catarrhal affections. scrof-
ula, general decline and weakness, loss Of
.iesh, and all wasting conditions, and 10
demonstrate its wonderful merits, he will
send Three Free Bottles (all different Of
his New Discoveries, with full instructions,
to any reader of this paper.
Simply write to r. A. Slocum, VI. G., 50
Pine street New York, giving full address.
There is no charge for correspondence
advice strictly professional and conliden-
tial.
Knowing, as we do, of the undoubted
efficacy of The Slocum System of Medicine,
we urge every sufferer to take advantage Of
this most liberal proposition.
A system of medical treatment that will
cure catarrh, lung troubles and consump-
ton is certainly good for and will cure
any wasting disease that humanity is heir
to.
Please tell the Doctor, when writing. that
YOU read his generous offer in our paper.

BLACK AND BLUE.

Black and blue colors are not subject to
fashions this season nor any other sea-
son. They hold their own and will not
wash out. They are pretty solid colors,
and but for the misery of wearing them
might become fashionable. Some men
take pride in wearing them as tokens of
their profession, as soldiers do their scars.
But bruises, black or blue or both, ought
to have immediate attention, for under
them may be a nerve hurt or muscle
badly wrenched. A black and blue bruise
Is a bad thing, not only from its tender
soreness, but the confused blood is pre-
vention of regular circulation. While sore
spots like these will not wash out, there
Is something that will rub them out in
no time, and that is st. Jacobs Oil. 1t
is peculiarly adapted to their quick cure.
pennant can be won only by hard
knocks, with scars and bruises, bu. after
the ball is over, IL any remain, this one
cure is the best. Bruises come from con-
tusions In all avocations, and it is we'll to
remember at all times Just what will cure
them best.

flush on her cheeks and an added bril-.
liancy in her dark eyes, she looks but

1t is, at first, only a thought, an mag
ined preference, but it is soon deepened
into reality.
Ted's mother believes in marriage
She would say so If you or l should
ask her. She believes in it as the true
est and happiest condition for man and
woman kind. She has deliberately and
firmly studied the question, and decid-
ed that there Is not single girl in the
town who would make good wife for
her boy. There are good girls, pretty
girls, accomplished girls, but not one
who combines the necessary gifts and
graces. Lately there has been a DIFF
ference in Ted. He has not talked so
freely at dinner, and has been strange
ly absent-minded. He surely cannot
be attracted by frivolous little Miss
Flossie, the only and petted darling of
DR.. Everett? Ted's mother always ad-
mired her sons taste until now, but
in this most vital choice she cannot
understand him. In vain she appeals
to his reason. He says little and acts
much. Though he respects his mother S
opinions, she is forced to see that she
is alternating him at each expression of
them. So she decides like sensible
woman to make the best of things.
Miss Flossie is invited to spend a
quiet afternoon with her prospective
mother-in-law. She is found to pos
sess shrewd little head, a warm heart
and charming manner.
After all that has been said and done
they decide to make the most Of each
other, and in the INTERVIEWING of my
balls Of fieecy yarn I see the parable
of their united lives. The last stitch
on the last needle is bound off, and the
playful kitten is rolling the bright rem
nants on the hearth rug.-Mary Pea

The sacred crocodiles of Egypt were

Spiders have played important parts.
1t is said when Mahomet fed from

Australia has been found to be such
a fayorite home for the apple that i'm
mense orchards have been planted and
are now in successful bearing. They
find they can get them to England and
still successfully compete with Amerl-
cans in financial sense. Nearly 1OO,-
600 cases had been received in England
up to June 1, the bulk of them coming
from Tasmania. One great advantage
they have is in their period Of ripening,
as The English markets can be supplied
after the American apples have disap-
peared.
Everything in any way connected
with Alaska and the Klondike is of spe-
clal interest at present, and among
other items the foot of the reindeer de-
serves particular mention. The fore
foot of the horse to great extent de-
termines its value, as upon this portion
of its anatomy its speed and endurance
depend. The foot of the reindeer is
most peculiar in construction. 1t is
cloven through the middle and each
half curves upward in front. They are
slightly elongated and capable of con-
siderable amount of expansion. When
placed on an irregular surface. which
is difficult to traverse, the animal con-
tracts them into a sort of claw, by
which firm hold is secured. When
moving rapidly the two portions of the
foot, as it is lifting, strike together, the
hoofs making continuous Gathering
noise, which may be heard M a consid-
cradle distance. 1t is this popularity
Of the feet that makes the reindeer so
sure-footed and so valuable in that
rocky and uneven country.
