Who honor. fame or wealth would win
Must set their standard high:
And for the ladders topmost round
Strive long and earnestly
Not AL may reach the highest peak.
Not all the prize may gain:
But, In the conflict. each may hope
The victory to obtain.

CHATTER XIV.
THE HAND OF BABETTE.

I lay for a time where / had been

Then a frenzy came on me, and, but
for the gag In my mouth, could have
screamed out curses on my sSsly in nl-
lowing myself TO be trapped like a wild

ness Of those moments, ! did not pray
to the God who had so often and so re-
peatedly helped me; yet In His mercy
and goodness / was freed from my
straits, as will be shown hereafter.
In the meantime l was so securely
bound that II was all but impossible 20
move, and the bandage over my eyes
prevented me from seeing anything. I
wEthed and twisted like serpent on
the wet flags, where lay, and in the
violence of my struggles gradually
moved the bandngc. so that my eyes
were ut last set free, and then, ex-
hausted by my efforts and half choked
by the gag, / became still once more
and looked around me. For all could

BID-OTHER- BENWOOD NOTES
The Intelligencer yesterday morning
contained a very dizzy, story concern
ing the recent purchase Of the
city of Benwood of sewer
pipe for the new sewers to be
laid in the First and Fourth wards.
Members of Council stated that the
article was evidently written by some
person who was not informed in re-
gard to the matter and who sought to
satisfy the petty grievances of few
persons who were peculiarly inter
ested. The truth of the matter ac-
eording to the statement of several
of the Councilmen, is that Council de-
cided to put sewers in the two wards
and for the city to do the work itself,
the job to be under the supervision of
the Street Commissioner. The Coun-
cilmen allege that the chairman of
the Finance Committee, William Sea-
bright, was instructed to write to diff
ferent sewer pipe manufacturers and
secure bids on first class single strength
pipe. The chairman of the committee
is alleged not to have done this, but
to have gotten prices only from
Henry Seabright, his cousin, who
sells sewer pipe. When this plan was
discovered a bid was secured from
Patrick Conner, a sewer pipe manufac-
turer of Toronto O. Seabright put in
two bids, one for first class pipe and
the other for what is known as sec
ends" which is an inferior grade Of
pipe. Connor put in but one bid.
The Councilmen state that Seabright's
first bid was higher than Corners,
whose bid calls for first class pipe.
They say also that Seabright's bid on
seconds was lower than Corners, but
they did not want seconds. Conse-
quently the bid of Corners for the
best grade, being lower than Sea-
bright's bid, it was accepted, and Sea-
bright's friends Of the upper ward
have been making a kick since, alleg-
ing, without justification, that the
transaction was SHADY" as the par
tisan Republican organ puts it.
The article also stated that a prom
inent Democrat who was concerned in
letting the contract, is now circu-
lating petitions against the present
corrupt Republican Board of
Marshall County Commissioners,
one of whom is seeking re-
election. This statement was a
trifle previous, for the aforesaid Dem
ocrat is as busy as ever distributing
literature among the voters, and ex-
poets to keep it up until election day.
The people of Benwood generally I'M
derstand that the charges are made for
political effect, but are not taken.
seriously by any person in Benwood.
Benwcod Councilmen who have been
interviewed say that they do not think
there is any necessity for getting into
any controversy about the matter. but
promise that if it is stirred up much
more they will give out some facts that
will be boomerang to- the parties
making complaints and groundless
charges.

RIDES A CENTURY DAILY

Through snow, rain and slush, day after
day Edward s. Edwards, the champion
centurion of the Century wheemen of
New York. IS piling up the miles. lie is
filing his end of a contract which calls for
a century run every twenty-four hours.
Not a day has he missed so far. He is rid
ing a chainless wheel, the idea. presuma-
bly,. being to call attention to its beauties
and its practical utility as a snow plow,
mud scraper and general road machine.
For several years Edwards has been rec
ognized as one of the hardest and plucli!-
est riders in the metropolitan district. but
the task he has undertaken is a huge one.
The highest mileage for the year 1891 would
be surpassed If Edwards could ride 1oJ
miles a day up to next Labor day; but
these 5000 mile road records were not
made 100 miles at time. on some days
double and even triple centuries were rid
den in an effort to beat all creation
awheel. So Edwards feat of riding an
even 40 miles every twenty-four hours IS
unprecedented.
one day last July he pedaled $40 20 miles
in a single day. smashing the previous
twenty-fOur hour road record by thirty
five miles. Previous to this he had beaten
the record from New York to Philadelphia
by thirty-siX minutes. consuming seven
hours and fiftY-one minutes in covering
the hundred odd miles. The record of
nineteen hours and fifty-siX minutes for
the round trip he did not quite equal, owing
to heavy showers and muddy roads,

Frank Ives appears to have taken pos
session of Mexico. The Mexican Herald

Frank Ives, the world-famed blliardist,
after conquering Mexico, as he has con-
quered all other parts of the world, left
cisco. where he goes to play series OF
match games. During his weeks stay in
Mexico City he has made hundreds of
friends by his wonderful playing and his
gentlemanly conduct. lie is one of the
few stars of the billiard world who has
not the big head and is as modest and
unassuming gentleman as one could find.
