GIVEN LICENSES.
County Court Decided in Favor of
Benwocd Saloonists Yesterday.
The Boss Fake of the Year ten
eral BenWOod News.

The Marshall county court yesterday
ordered licenses to be issued 10 Ben
wood saloon keepers and saloonlsts OF
other places where local option is not
in force. This action of the court was
announced several days ago in advance
by the Register. 1t is the first time
that the county court has granted
licenses since 1878. Attorney Evans, or
Moundsyille, was in town yesterday
and stated that every salOonkeeper IN
Benwood would have to take out
license or else he could not sell. County
Assessor John Roseberry was instruct
ed by the county court to issue licenses
and issued to a number yesterday. tie
said that twenty-eight saloon keepers
in Benwood had applied for licenses.
The total number in the town is over
thirty. The licenses will be issued an
nually, semi-annually or quarterly.
The annual tax will be $3.50. In decld-
ing to grant the licenses this time the
court did so in spite of considerable
opposition again on the part of the
temperance element.
A couple of days ago the evening I'M
reliable published a sensational story
under a display head stating that a
Benwood school girl had attempted
suicide by blinking ink, on account OF
a disappointment in love. and had writ
ten a note previous to the act bidding
her school companions good bye and
naming those whom she wished TO be
pall-bearers at her funeral. There
Probably never will appear in local
print statement more devoid Of truth
and conscience. 1t was untrue IN every
particular and was the greatest lnjus-
tice to a respectable girl and ref1ec-
ton on her family. Consequently her
parents are righteously incensed. Both
Doctors Eskey and Alley, who attend
ed the girl, say that it was unqualified
ly false that she had drank poison and
that it was simply case Of hysteria.
Prof. Carrigan, principal Of the school.
corroborate the doctors statements and
says The story was the greatest fake
l ever saw printed Prof. Carrigan
denied also that the girl had written
note Of the character alluded to in the
article.
John Hahn. the Waterman at the
Wheeling steel works, charged with
killing Oscar Hanlon, has been releas-
ed on bail furnished by President Hub
bard Of the Wheeling Iron and Steel
Company.
Mrs John Johnson, of Shepardstown,
is visiting her daughter, Mrs. j. n.
Roberts. of the Fourth ward.
Mrs. Dolbeare is attending the bed
side of a sick sister at Morgantown.
Josiah Sinclair and Robert Coats will
represent the Benwood lodge at a meet
ing of the State Grand Lodge of A. 0.
L. w. at Weston next week, commenc-
ing Tuesday, for three days ses-
sion.
Under the decision OF the county
court yesterday any person can now
open a saloon in McMechen, as well as
in Benwood without fearing prOsecu-
ton from temperance advocates.
The attendance at the public schools
was larger this week than any time
since the food.
The reunion of all those who have
been confirmed will be an interesting

ance. At the conclusion of the brief
musical and literary programme which
was very pleasantly rendered, as print
ed in the Register several days ago,
refreshments were served. A small adj
mission fee was charged and quite a
neat sum resulted.
The patriotic spirit yesterday mani
tested itself in this city in quite an adj
mirable manner. The news from
Washington stirred up enthusiasm
generally, and yesterday shortly after
noon displays of the national colors
were made in many parts Of the city,
and Maine buttons and little Ameri-
can flags fastened to the lapels of coats
could be seen in whatever direction
the eye CHANGED to peer. Among the
most notable decorations weret hose of
business men along Union street.
Large American flags were displayed
at the postoffice, Hotel Windsor, Globe,
Exchange, Hopkins shoe store, and the
Exchange.

When Charles Dickens was to make
his first appearance in Boston before an
American audience as reader, an i'm
mense crowd awaited him. Tha eli
thusiasm of the people for the most
popular novelist then living had risen
to fever heat. One OF the most ardent
of his admirers afErward told this lit
tie incident Of the yening:
with few ge lemen who wished
to welcome and show him attention l
was in the little room at the back Of
the platform when Dickens entered it.
He was rather stout man with a sonla-
what red face, and l saw to my sur
prise, that he was dressed in an exag-
gerated servility to the extrome fashion
more than this, he wore houtoa-
Mere in each buttorhole, and two
watches, the chains of which were
strung aggressively across his chest
There was gaudy bad taste in his ap-
pearance which his friends rcgrette
knowing how distasteful it would be to
most of his admirers who appreciated
his genius and enjoyed his writings.
"No one, of course, could broach the
subject to him, and he appeared that
night and every other night Of his en-
gagement in the same attire. The uni
versal comment was, why, this is a
petit maitre. How can man with such
tastes be the creator of Tiny Tim and
Sam Weller !''-Youth's Companion.

''In plaques, such as cholera, tho

the custom of burying the dead on the

even during advanced epidenics Ii is
probable that in the absence Of medical
aid in panic times in country places
abroad it has led to living burial--in-
deed it must have done. BEt the last
end of all under such conditions is mer-
ciful, for it must not TO forgotten that
if you are unconscious only while ho-
ing Theoretically scaled il your coffin
You will never again experience volun-
tary motion or sensation.
However, where the doctor can ba
