A TREASURED MEMORY.

Mr.. Flanagan opposed the change pro-
posed, and in doing so. said that while
he was toe young to follow the fortunes
OF Lee and Jackson he treasured, as he
did few things of life, the personal bless
ing he had received from the great chief
tain of the South. 1t was on the second
day after the surrender at Appomattox
that he had the never-to- be forgotten
honor, as his fathers mill boy on the
farm in Cumberland, of measuring ont a
gallon OF corn for Traveller and when
General Lee mounted the horse TO ride
away. he said: II trust, my boy your
father will make a useful man OF Won {"
He stood long in the April sunshine
watching the great soldier ride down to-
wards the river and out OF sight and
when he turned away IL was TO carry
forever the memory OF the blessing the
Ideal soldier and gentleman had given
him. He wanted the name OF Lee alone
commemorated By the holiday.
Mr. Wickham opposed the bill He said
the birthday OF Lee had been made q
holiday by the men who followed him
II would be presumptuous and unwise for
younger men 10 change H.
Mr.. Mcilwaine. at this point sent to the
Clerks desk an amendment providing
that the 2lst OF January be a holiday also.
Mr.. Morris again earnestly advocated
the bill, and was followed by MIR. Mason.

sparrow. Look at one some day when
he is flying down to the street. See him
tilt himself backward and drop to the
ground. One of his feathers could not
alight more softly or easily. That is
the way the man with the gliding ma
chine comes down. He throws himself
back little, raising the front of the
machine, increasing the angle of Incl
dence and consequently the air pressure.
The cushion of air in front of him stops
the flight of the machine, and i'll all the
experiments which have been made with
the Chanute apparatus there has not re-
suited even sprained ankle. This prob
lem has not been solved yet for the dy =
manic machine IF the future, but it Is
settled for the gliding machine. Start
ing up under all conditions is another
problem and one which has not yet been
solved.
Mr.. Chanute says that Lilienthal was
the first to point out method through
which, he believes, final success will
be won. He accomplished more toward
; practical solution of the problem than
any previous experimental. Mr. Cha
mute took up the work where Lilienthal
left it and has carried it at least one
step forward. If his experiments shall
result within a year or so in fight or
glide of a mile on machine of the
type with which he has been experiment
ing, he will feel that his work has not
been in vain and that possibly science
has gone a long way toward the final
solution of that interesting question

our Glass FACTORY.

Our readers can rest assured that
las soon as the railroad can get tc
running again they can expect
work to begin actively on the new
glass plant. The gentlemen who
are going to put up the plant have
been corresponding in regard to a
location for the plant. The Wells
sisters have made price for a
parcel of land south of town 200
feet fronting on the railroad by $50
deep, that is very reasonable, in fact
the price named is away below what
we had hoped would have been
named. The price given has been
mailed and as soon as the letter can
reach its destination we expect the
men right on to begin work. In the
meantime corporation is being
organized and everything is
being pushed along as rapidly
as possible From April Ist
till the 10th is the time fixed for
letting the contract for the erection
of the building, and in the mean
time the owners are making ar
rangements to buy the machinery,
all of which will be entirely new
and of the very best and latest pat
terms.
In the meantime the Review is
corresponding with two other firms
who want to locate here. One
wants to build good sized WOODEN
mill and the other wants to put in
a knitting factory, such as the town
of Martinsburg paid thirty thou
sand dollars to have located in that
city. We have heard nothing def
mite from either of these applicants
but expect a letter in the first mail.
We should aim IN getting manu-
featuring establishments here to
have them as much diversified as
possible, SO if one is, shut up or
even two or more it will not mate
rally effect business in the city.
Work will resume on the macadam
pike in few days as soon as the
weather settles again.

man at the throttle, and rarer still
that man chosen above all others
by the people does so. Of all the

white carnations destined to be pre-
served for generations, and handed
down to children and grandchildren

were copious and distressing, and l
also suffered from severe headaches
and attacks of dizziness, always
worse when my back was troubling
me the most. 1 had heard several
speak of Doan's Kidney Pills, and l
in company with my brother and
Conductor Craig, went to a drug
store and got a box each. They re-
lieved me right away, and l have
felt free from all symptoms and well
since. Both my brother and Mr..

How the Average Bostonian Observes tn
Growth of Public Control.

How the Average Bostonian Observes the
Growth of Public Control.
An imaginary Bostonian, on rising In
the morning, finds his whole toilet, his
breakfast and breakfast service under gov
eminent supervision.
Nor do this average Bostonian and his
family escape from public control upon
rising from the table. The children are by
law compelled to go to school, and though
there is an option to attend private
school the city gratuitously furnishes a
school and schoolbooks. AS for the father
himself, when he reaches his door he finds
that public servants are girdling his trees
with burlaps and searching his premises
for traces Of the gypsy moth. Without stop
ping to reflect that he has not been asked
to permit these public servants to go upon
his property he steps out upon a sidewalk
constructed in accordance with public re-
quirementS, crosses a street paved and
watered and swept by the public and en-
tiers a street car whose route, speed and
fare are regulated by the public.
Reaching the center Of the city, he as
cends to his office by an elevator subject to
public inspection and reads the mail that
has been brought to him from all parts of
the United States by public servants. II
the dimness OF his office may cause him t.
regret that sunlight appears to be outside
public protection, he may be answered
that by recent provisions the height of
buildings is regulated and the malicious
construction of high fences is pr0nibitet
If now he leaves his office and goes 10 sUa,,
store or factory in which he OWLS an in
terest, he finds that for female employees
chairs must be provided, that children
must not be employed in certain kinds OF
work, that dangerous machinery must be
fenced, that fire escapes must be furnished
and probably that the goods produced or
sold must be marked or packed in a GER
cain way or must reach certain stand
ard. Indeed, whatever this mans business
may be, it is almost certain that in one
way or another the public's hand comes
between him and his employee or between
him and his Observation-Disclosures Eugene
