Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1898-07-20

A simple mountaineering gnecdote
comes from the top OF Mount Egmont,
Tarnraki. New Zealand. A party of
climbers asceuded the topmost rock of
the sleeping giant, planted thereupon
Il .nine-foot pole and hauled aloft the
union jack. A fortnight later another
party, prepared to shin up the pole and
so claim siX-foot higher record than
the first, ascended and found that the
flag had frozen while blowing to the
breezes. There II was imbeded in four
inches of icicle, the colors standing out
as in looking glass. Not only this,
but that icicle extended right down to
the ground. All this in the summer
time! DOubters must not snigger, for
the party photographed the phenom-
enon.

SpooIs, Skewers, Toothpicks, Dice boxss
and Baby sleighs Produced.
From the New York Sun: The spool
factories of Maine turn out annually
about 250,OOO,O0O spools, which Will
hold $4,000, 10000 yards Of thread-2oo
yards to the spool. There are sew
enteen Of these factories In the state
employing $50 hands, at average wages
of $3.50 a day each, or $247, 1900 a year
total. In the making OF the spoois
80, 500 cords of white birch timber, or
IL, $50 900 feet, are used This timber
is worth "a a cord. A large part OF
the spool timber cut in Maine Is not
manufactured there, but shipped from
Bangor to great factories in England
and Scotland. Last year Bangor ex-
ported 6,97S,66S feet OF spool bars TO
the United Kingdom, the value being,
$4,000, and more will be shipped next
year There is practically no limit
to the supply Of white birch available.
The so-called novelty mills" OF Maine
are numerous all through the hard
wood districts. In these mills are
turned out all KlnuS VI lulu "ooueA
boxes, many of which are used oy
druggists; checker boxes, checkers, dice
boxes, wooden shoppers, handles OF
thousand kinds and shapes, toothplcks
by the million, ladders, swings, sleds,
school desks and chair, toy carts and
wheelbarrows, tables, desks, cycle
stands, baby sleighs, and other things
too numerous to mention. The largest
novelty" factory in the world is at
South Paris, Oxford county, where zoo
hands are employed. A Dixfield factory
has Just completed an order for $780,
900 checkers and 100000 dice boxes and
at another factory in the same town
thew have made this year 525,O00,000
toothpicks. One firm has made $780,
900 skewers, such as are used by butch
ers. Wooden bicycle rims are also an
important article Of manufacture. Inc
product Of these factories goes to all
parts of the world. The timber used
was once considered practically worth
less.

the earl had but one answer to every

was gay and brilliant-she would show
nothing of the anguish that never left
her; they should not go away and talk
about Lady Caraven, the wife whom
her husband did not love-" whatever
it cost her, and the effort was at times

scoffiingly. This girl is just as happy
as though she had the most loving hus-
band in the world. She has what she
wanted, and she seems to enjoy 1t,
too"
OF the noble, womanly pride that
disdained all complaint; of the brave
spirit that fought so resolutely with
her longing for happiness and her
longing for love, he never even dream
ed.
II begin to think" said the hand
some earl to himself one day, that I
have not done so badly after all. II
had married for love or anything OF
that kind, what trouble should have
had, what reproaches, what tears
and woman's tears! would sooner
face untold hardships. I should have
had all the uncertainties Of love; now
am spared it all, and my house Is
presided over by queenly mistress.
Taking everything into account, l
consider am fortunate man."
So he said in his blindness; but the
time was to come when he would
awaken from that blindness with sud
den, passionate pain.
When the month of May came round
he decided upon going to London. Hal
by House was prepared for them, and
the handsome earl's friends made
ready to receive him with open arms.
He had been welcome in his penniless
state, and, having married wealthy
heiress, he was now doubly welcome.
Those who had won money from him
before looked forward to winning
more; those who had gambled and bet
with him before looked forward to q
renewal of those delights. He would
be welcome.
The elite OF the fashionable world
were not sorry to receive their favor
| lite again. The rumor that Halby
House was to be thrown open, that the
young Countess Of Caraven was very
beautiful, that the earl's revived pros
| perity would enable him to vie with
the best party givers in London was
good news. The only one Indifferent to
it was the young countess herself
and she would fain have hidden her
sorrows from all eyes and remained az

HORRIBLE MURDER.
Robbers Beat Out the Brains Of a
Woman

BIRMINGHAM (Ala.), Dec. 1S.-Tel-
tell of horrible crime at the Meyers
plantation, near Josie Postoffice, eight
miles from Banks. Mrs. Ida Meyers, q
wealthy widow and her daughter-in-
law, Mrs. E. Meyers, also a widow,
conducted a store, and it was known
that they kept large amount of money
in the dwelling across the road from
the store. A young man named Cook
was employed to superintend the farm
and he occupied room in the house.
Sometime between midnight ard day
Cook was aroused by noise in the
room of the elder Mrs. Meyers. He
sprang out of bed and saw Mrs. Meyers
struggling with two strange men. He
rushed to her assistance and was
knocked senseless with club. When
he regained consciousness he found the
house on fire and the elder Mrs. Ney
ers apparently dead on the floor. Drag
ging her from the fire he went in search
of the younger Mrs. Meyers, and found
her dead in her room, her brains hav-
ing been beaten out. He rescued her
body just in time from the flames He
then rang the farm bell and aroused
the neighbors, who came in great num-
bers, but were too late to save the
house or any of it's contents. 1t is
