SANG THE DoxoLOeY
For Cleveland When the News of His
Election Was Received.

The death of Rev ]. Wesley Webb,
at Huntington, recalls a little incident
on the political side Of the reverend
gentleman's life that is interesting.
During the famous Cleveland-Blaine
campaign Of 1884 the Rev Mr.. Webb,
who was a staunch Democrat, took an
active part On the day Of the election
the West Virginia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church was hold
ing its sessions in this city. At the
night session, when the news came
that Blaine was elected, one of the
delegates proposed that the long meter
doxology be sung, and the whole gath
ering with the exception Of Rev. Webb,
joined in the singing.
Later in the evening, as everyone
will well remember, the news flashed
over the wires that Cleveland was 10
be the next President, and soon whis-
perings of a displeasing nature were
going on among the brethren. When
Rev. Webb received the news, it was
in the form of a telegram from eastern
friends, and when the opportunity
presented itself, he arose and made the
announcement, and asked that all join
in singing the long meter doXology.
No one came to his assistance and he
sang the praises to God entirely alone,
the large gathering being seemingly
paralyzed during the proceedings.

WAR TAX AND BEER.

"What will be the effect Of the pro-
posed tax Of 81 a barrel on beer?"
asked the Wayfarer Of salOon-keeper
to-day.
at will probably sell for 10 cents a
glass instead of cents as at present, "
he said.
do YOU think that the consumption
will fall off correspondingly?" he was
asked
mo; on the contrary, I believe that
II will give beer a certain aristocratic
standing among men who indulge. At
present it is essentially a plebian
drink by reason Of its extreme cheap
ness. There are MANY who will not
drink anything cheap, no matter how
good il may be. Those who love beer
will pay 10 cents for it, while the war
tax is on, and many who have scorned
a scent drink will take IT at 10 cents.
It is certain that we must either in
crease the price or reduce the size Of
the glasses served to our customers"
THEY LACK BACKBONE.
Il think that il a lot OF these Cubans
in America who have been prating so
loudly about Cuba Libre and its past
wrongs and prospective glories would
show their backbone by going to the
front as volunteers at the present time
they would occupy a much more en-
viable position before the public" said
a man on Market street to the Way
farer to-day. I'VE have them right
here in our own community and
doubtless every other city on the Att
lantic seaboard has them. II they are
so solicitpus for the liberty and welfare
Of their native island as they have pro-
fessed to be- why don't they volunteer
and not leave the Americans to do all
the fighting"

"There is radical difference be-

whats the difference?" asked the
man to whom the declaration was ad-
dressed.
when a man sizes up a woman he
looks at her face first and then his eye
travels down to her feet. With a woman
Il is Just the reverse. She begins with
the shoes of man and takes in the
details OF his face last. I have noticed
1t frequently and it will be apparent to
you II you will exercise a little obser-
Yalion.

Sir Charles Gordon's "Recollcctions

contains this anecdotes: Sin 1850, at
Tien-tsin, the two Gordons, when seek
ing for hospital sites. came across a
Buddhist nunncry. Despite the warn-
ings of one of the inmates, who appear
ed III boys clothes, they entered tho
building and found that the inmates all
wore male clothing. The Buddhist
women were greatly shocked at the in
trusion.
"'Our regret, says Sir Charles, was
real. Explanations were exchanged. We
were informed that the community
within adopted male costume as an i'll
dication that they not only renowned
the world, but with it the emblems Of
their sex. We were received by tho
lady superior, tea and cakes offered to
and partaken of by US. We were then
permitted to visit the private chapel
and finally we parted from the re-
ligieuses ON the best of terms"

A small weekly magazine was started
here II years ago by two hustling young
men. One was editor, the other writer
and paster." They clipped, extracted
and rewrote. An advertising agent was
employed OIL a commission of 20 per
cent, and it was a caution the way he
filled up the pages with black type and
outs. Some contracts were made for Il
month, some for three months, some
for a year. The only cash i'll advance
was half of the commission, which was
paid as soon as the contract was turned
in.
Prosperity peeped from its pages. The
magazine rapidly grew fat In the Sec
ond week the American N,ws company
ordered IA, 900 copies. Money flowed
out like corn from a hopper and not a
cent came in. The writer and paster
went around at the end of the month to
collect from the 80 day advertisers and
what do you suppose happened: He fail
ed to find one! Every advertisement was
a fraud. There were nc such names, no
such businesses, no such addresses as
the agent brought in for publication.
He happened to have an engagement in
NaG Jersey on that fatcful day and
never has been seen since. Contracts
supposed to be worth $40, 900 were not
worth a cent. The magazine died.

In II of the most fashionable dis
tricts of Paris a mock marriage was re-
Gently planned for the purpose of secur-
ing a rather dangerous %lunatic. An at
tractive young person named Mile. De-
laplume was sitting in her boudoir the
other day in a house situated in a
street off the Boulevard st. German.
Suddenly a ring came to the door, and
one of her servants, having opened it.
ushered in a we'll dressed man looking
like a superior sort of valet. He told
Mile. Delaplume that he had a letter
from II of her friends, a countess, and
as the young woman put her hand out
to receive the missive the stranger
seized her fingers, pressed them to his
lips, and then, sinking on his knees,
made a passionate declaration of love
and offered to marry her.
Mile. Delaplume saw by the mans
eyes that he was dangerously mad, and,
fearful Of a tragedy, she accepted his
offer with apparent calmness. Then she
invited the strange visitor to the may
or's office in order to have the nuptial
knot tied. The man accompanied her
with alacrity to the establishment in
question, where a secretary, informed
Of the real state of affairs, pretended to
read the civil marriage regulations.
The mock bridegroom was then taken
by a detective to the police depot under
the delusion that he was bound for u
pastry cooks, there to give an order for
a sumptuous wedding breakfast. The
man was, it appears, formerly employ
ed as a valet by II of Mile. Delap-
lume's friends. Paris Letter.
