A HIGH COMPLIMENT
Paid Mrs. kenna Postmaster at Char
lesion, by Postohce Department OFF,


Special to the Register.
Washington, D. c., February 26.--
A very high compliment was paid to
IRIS. kenna, postmaster at Charleston,
few days ago, in this city, by Mr..
A. w. Machen, chief of the free de-
livery division Of the Postofiice Depart
ment. Mr.. Machen was asked to make
speech before the meeting of the
National Womans Suffrage Associa-
ton, and in the course of his remarks
he said
West Virginia lays claim to one of
the five women postmasterS at free de-
livery Offices. Charleston, the capital
of the State, has a most capable post
master in, the person Of Mrs Kenna
widow of the distinguished Senator.
After her husbands death she found
herself and her little family depend
ent entirely upon her own resources,
and she became bread-winner in
earnest. Her friends secured her the
appointment in June, 1893. 1t has been
my pleasant duty and privilege to wit
ness the transformation in the postal
service of Charleston during Mrs. Ken
mas administration. Her business sa-
gacity, energy and constant. devotion
to duty brought order out of chaos
and gave the people of Charleston a
perfect service. Alive to its interests
at all times, she has by intelligent per-
sistence secured for her town improved
postal facilities that are more nearly
in keeping with the Importance of a
State capital. Hers, l think, is the
best managed Office in the State. She
has made the postoffice building and
its surroundings a haven of neatness
and cleanliness, marked improve
ment, l am told, over bygone days.
She has given the people of Charleston
and the department perfect satisfac-
ton

ates Him.


ates Him.
Martins Ferry Times.
It will be recollected that the ST.
Clairsville presbytery, which met at
bridgeport Tuesday the 18th instant
to consider charges against certain
students of Allegheny Seminary, refer
red the case Of Rev. John t. Fulton to
his church session at West Brooklyn,
this county Pursuant to this, the ses-
sion met on Wednesday the 23d, and
took cognizance of the action handed
down from the Presbylery. Rev.
II. A. L. King, who had pre-
viously made a visit 10 the
seminary, moderated the meeting.
Rev. Kings report was, in effect.
that none of the students denied being
out on Summing expedition, and that
there was no attempt made to conceal
this fact. There was no testimony
however. to incriminate any one far
ther than that if the mere clrcum-
stance of entering a place OF i'll repute
for observation can be looked upon as
discriminating in itself. The charge
against Fulton of entering saloon
and drinking were proven by written
and sworn testimony to be false, as
was that OF conversing with a doubtful
character. The Summing trip TO
which all have confessed. seemed to be
the only authenticated charge against
the students, and consequently the re-
port of the West Brooklyn session was
favorable to the young licentiate. The
charges Of drinking and gambling
which were published by the sensa-
tionaI press of Pittsburg were proven
entirely baseless. Mr.. Fulton is
promising young minister, and his
MANY friends here and elsewhere will
he pleased TO learn of his vindication.

ANN ARBoR STUDENTS REVOLT
Rebel Against Decree Hostile to
Sweaters in the Latin Glass

Ann Arbor, M!ch.-Students in the Latin
department of the University OF Michigan
are in open revolt The cause Is that their
instructor Prof. Kelsey, has issued a de-
cree against the wearing of sweaters by
his class. Probably twothirds of the male
students wear sweaters, and in consc-
quence of the opposition they have mani
tested 1t is probable the decree will not be
enforced.
tbs order is only an evidence of the ire
form" wave now prevalent at Ann Arbor
1t is viewed by some as natural sequence
of the anti-drinkiIg agitation and the eff
forts of the goods" to prohibit the use OF
tobacco on the campus. A petition for this
latter regulation will, It is believed. be laid
before the regents at their next meeting.
The anti-liquor fight Is rapidly reaching
focus. 1t is said that in the next issue Of
Frozen Truth, the official organ of the anti
saloon league there will appear the names
of all students frequenting saloons. This
drastic measure is warmly opposed by the
majority of students, and it is asserted
that the Wrinkle, the representative COL
lege magazine, will follow such publication
by making public the names of the-"spot-
ters" for the league, thus bringing them
into ridicule before the whole student body.

RHEUMATISM

six millmeters, but they are very heavy.
Ready for sea service, the gun mounted
on tripod, Is placed near the ships rail,
and in that position it is capable of firing
200 shots a minute in any direction. 1t is
supposed TO be particularly useful in re-
peiing the attacks of torpedo boats. A few
such guns would make the men on the ap
preaching ship think they had run into a
bullet storm. The calber of the gun IS the
same as that of the new Lee rifle used by
marines in the navy. The gunner sits in a
bicycle saddle fastened to the legs of the
tripod All the gunner has to do is to aim
his piece and keep his finger On the trigger,
and the gun does the rest 1t feeds itself
and elects the empty shells. The power
derived from one explosion of powder op-
crates the machinery which causes the
next explosion. The guns range is 1000
yards. AT a test made at the navy yards
Thursday a bullet was sent through a
three-eighths inch steel plate, through a
block of wood twenty inches thick, which
was behind the plate, and on through a
steam coil. and then through another steel
plate one-eighth of an inch thick.
