boys who: use that kind OF noise as n
safety valve for their surplus energies
whenever there is occasion for applause.
The management Of all opera houses

The accumulation Of wealth by one

Watching the Lambs.


The conservative lamb feeder is
watching the market with consid-
cradle interest and much wonder.
He is interested to know how
much higher feeding lambs will
go and still find buyers and is
wondering how the fellow who is
buying the lambs at present pri-
ces is going to come out whole on
the deal. There are still
lots of lambs to be moved, but as
far rs the conservative feeder is
concerned, they will not be moved
by them unless prices IRE lowered.
The flockmasters will hold prices
as high as the buyers will pay, and
when the buyers become fewer the
price will go lower Denver

FASTEST "BLIND" TYPEWRITER.

Miss Darlington, of Boston. Makes
Two Remarkable Records.
Boston Claims the fastest blindfolded
typewriter. She is Miss May L. Car
rington. a few days ago she wrote
from dicta ton 10S words of unfamiliar
matter and 144 words of familiar mat
ter. That It is claimed is the record
for blindfold writing. The trial was
made before a few friends in the bust
ness Office of the firm by whom Miss
Darlington is employed as secretary
and bookkeeper.
When she had finished it was found
that she had not averaged one mistake
in three minutes writing. The method
OF touch writing used by Miss Car
rington is becoming more and more
widely used, and many unlettered key
boards are ordered from the manufao-
turers. In order to use such machine
one has to learn fits keyboard as he
would that of n piano, and finger ex-
ercises play an important part in prac-
tice.
To master touch writing does not
take long, as would be imagined, three
or four months being about all that is
required. But to acquire the speed Miss
Darlington possesses is q different
thing. Most touch typewriters" reach
speed of only 5o,or 60 words minute.

writer is now taught in institutions for
the education of the blind.

ADJOURNED COURT TO FIGHT.
A Judge who Enjoyed a Little Bout
Himself.


Himself.
Judge Wilson Hammock, who died It
Lebanon, TepaAin February last, was
among the most gifted men the state
ever produced, says the Glasgow (Ky.)
News. Unfortunately he became in
volved in quarrel during his early
manhood and took the life of fellow
man. Although exonerated by the jury
the intimate friends of the judge are
inclined to the belief that his future life
was, in measure, controlled by his
early misfortune. However, if a man
ever lived who enjoyed a fight. that
man was Judge Hammock. He bore
no malice and no marks when an ARRAY
was ended, but fellow in search of
trouble never went begging when the
judge was in the community, and the
same man never went In search the sec
ond time. During his term US circuit
Judge of the Hartsville district a wan.
ton Insult was given by an attorney at
the bar. In an orderly and quiet way
Judge Hammock ordered the sheriff 70
adjourn court for two minutes. Then
walking outside the rostrum. he picked
up a dhair and shattered it to pieces
over the offenders head. 'Call the court
to order" said he to the officer, and, re-
Stunning his place on the bench. re-
marked: ''Geptlemen, when anyone
cares to insult this court. let nothing
prevent"

BARLOW.

The people of Barlow were much SUR
prised to see in one of the late Mariet-
Ia papers that Prof. A. NJ. Farlow, Sup
erintendant of the 3rd st. school in Ma
rietta, was threatened with trouble in
his administration there. Mr. Farlow
taught the Barlow High School for two
years and a half, and left regretted by
all. can safely say that we have new
er had aeteacher who was SO generally
we'll liked and who gave such general
satisfaction as Prof Farlow. Everyone
believed him, and with good reason, a
gentleman and Christian. As a MEM
ber of the School Board, / can say that
he never had any trouble in our school
that could be called trouble. To be
sure, he enforced obedience to the rules
OF school, as any good teacher should,
but he made no unreasonable or arbit-
rary rules, and every thought was for
the welfare and advancement Of his pu-
pills. The other members of the Board
r. w. Athey aud F. P. Deming, as well
as nearly all of his pupils, will back me
up in the above statement. We have
suffered more than once in Barlow
from too great leniency of the teacher.
but hardly ever from too great severity.
And think that is the general exper-
fence of the average School Board in
these latter days.
The above article was first sent to
another Marietta paper, but for some
reason it was not published. l do not
know why, as I see nothing political or
otherwise offensive in it.

USED AFLoAr AND ASHORE.
The Middle-Agcd Man Discovers the
Worldwide Use of the Ducksaw.

The Mfddle-ATcd Man Discovers the
Worldwide Use of the Ducksaw.
"The bucksaw in any mind" said the
middle-aged man, according to the
New York Sun. sis indelibly associated
with sawbuck-the reach between
the two KS half sawed through, where
it had been scored by the saw dropping
down upon it--stand,ng by wood pile
In the back yard. There are chips scat
tered around on the ground, and scraps
Of bark and more or less sawdust.
what brings all this to my mind is
the sight Of man saving wood with q
bucksaw on the deck Of schooner ly-
ing at South street wharf. a stick OF
'cordwood resting in the sawbuck, and
the man with his knee on II and saving
away just as he would ashore. AT first
this looked strange; and 50 it does still
to some extent I had seen sawbucks
and bucksaws on the decks Of canal
boats. where they looked natural
enough. because the canal boat is usual
ly close, by the land. where one could
step TO or from it easily; but could
scarcely make the bucksaw seem
Ou a CIdIl. DtSuuse
it seemed 10 me SO essentially thing Of
the land.
Finally. l did make it seem all right
on the schooner. though. by thinking Of
that as n vessel making short voyages
and keeping near land. and hauling up.
maybe, in creeks. close by the shore. and
as being in various ways intimately as
sociated with the land; but l couldn't
think of it as being used at sea. But
when I came to think it over I knew, of
course. they must have some way of
saving wood aboard deep-water ships,
and when I came to inquire I learned
that the bucksaw is used afloat just as
it is ashore; it is piled on ship thou
sand miles at sea just as it would be on
farm"

SAFE In JAIL
Morgan MCSWeeney Is Landed
By Marshal Dye.
ARRIVED SATURDAY MORNING
Gave No Trouble On The Road, Bu
Come Willingly.
WALKED FROM FERRY LANDING TO JAIL
Big Crowd Turned Out to Catch Glimpse
of Him and Their Curiosity was
Satisfied. .--He Greeted His
Friends Pleasantly.

Marshal Dye, with his noted pris
oner. Morgan McSweeney, arrived ovcl
the Ohio River road from Huntington
on Saturday and few minutes aftel
noon turned him over to Sheriff Nc
Callister at the county Jail. McSween
ey insisted on walking from the ferry
landing to the Jail and was followed
up Front and Putnam streets by 6
crowd Of the morbidly curious. Hun
dreds of people were at the doors anc
windows to see him pass and their cur
iosity was satisfied.
With the exception of having lost a
little flesh McSweeney appeared ex
actly as he did before the killing oi
Mason. He wore the same clothing
and his beard was untouched. When
he was placed in Jail Sheriff McCallis'
ter opened the front and side doors
and the crowds streamed through to
see him. At times McSweeney recog-
nized an acquaintance and invariably
greeted them pleasantly. His broth
ers, Pat and Dennis, called to see him,
but only an ordinary greeting passed
between them.
The Sheriff searched his prisoner be-
fore locking him up and took several
small articles from his pockets. Dis
covering that McSweeney was wearing
two pairs of trousers, Sheriff McCallis-
ter made him take off the outside pair
and found secreted a steel tape meas
ure four or five feet long. With this
piece made into saw McSweeney
could probably have sawn his way out
of Jail at any time he desired to do so.
1t is not known how he came into pos
session of the measure.
The prisoner was seen by the Leader,
but persisted in his resolution, made
at the time of his arrest, not to talk of
the crime. He would converse freely
on general topics, but not a word as to
motive in killing Mason would he ut
ter. McSweeney, when he finally
come to realize fully his situation, was
very nervous and the qualification
which he first exhibited over the excit-
ment he had created, was soon replaced
by the more sober thought that he
must soon be on trial for his life. On
Sunday his actions were not genuine
and gave the observer the impression
that he might feign insanity If he
knew how.
Almost Immediately upon McSwee-
ney's arrival it was announced that
l.. W. Ellenwood and w. G.
Way had been retained to defend him.
What the line of defense will be con-
not, Of course, be anticipated, but
there is no doubt that hard fight
will be made for him. 1t is reported
that he will be given a preliminary
hearing before Mayor schneider
this afternoon. Unless his attorneys
desire it, special grand will not be
empa neled. but the case will 60 oyer to
the regular term of Common Pleas
Court in April.
