Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident, of which Mr..
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
81 was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain contin-
ually in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me
up. Fortunately, a friend advised
trying Electric Bitters; and to my
great JOY and surprise, the first bot
tie made decided improvement. l
continued their use for three weeks,
and am now a well man. l know
they saved my life, and robbed the
grave of another victim" No one
should fail to try them. Only so cts

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prom
inently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and Group there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain S Cough Remedy, For
sale at Remnants Pharmacy.

Great Loss Of Life.

One of the most disastrous storms
Of recent years swept over the Allan
tic coast last Saturday and Sunday,
and the shores from New Jersey to
Canada are strewn with wrecks. In
all, about 10 vessels were wrecked,
and the death list will reach nearly
$50. The worst disaster of the storm
was the loss of the steamship Port
land. This vessel left Boston Satur-
day night for Portland, Maine, with a
crew of AZ and passenger list Of
81, total Of IA. During the fercest
part of the gale Sunday morning the
steamer was literally torn to pieces by
the waves and wind and every person
on board persisted. The whistles Of
distress were heard off Highland
Light, Mass, early Sunday morning,
and every since then wreckage and
dead bodies have been coming ashore.
Most of the victims were residents of
Portland. The steamer Fairfax, bound
from Boston to Baltimore, went
aground off the Rhode Island coast,
but her passengers and crew were
saved. In the vicinity Of Province
town, Mass, twenty-seven vessels
were driven ashore and totally
wrecked. Each day brings stories
of additional disasters, and the storm
will be one long remembered.

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfeld,
H., makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but grew

A Big Fish.

a DAS iSAA'
Hon. Mark A. Smith, delegate in
Congress from Arizona, who has done
a good deal of fishing in the Potomac
river about Shepherdstown, has sent
to Mr.. James Wintermoyer, of this
place, a photograph Of an enormous
sea bass he recently caught in the wa
tiers of the Pacific ocean off the Cali
fornia coast. The fish weighed 337
pounds, and this fish story is the big
gest of the year. But as it is backed
up by an affidavit and photograph, it
must be taken as all right Mr.. Smith
wrote the following account Of the cap
ture:
This picture is the photograph Of a
black sea bass caught by Mark A.
Smith and George Olney on the west
side of Catalina Island forty miles of
San Pedro harbor in the Pacific ocean.
He was struck about 400 yards from
the shore Of the island and was finally
landed or taken in tow of the boat
about five miles out at sea. The esti-
mated distance travelled by the fish is
from ten to twelve miles, carrying with
him the boat and its two occupants.
Time from the strike to the capture
was two hours and forty-three minutes
The tackle was the heavy tarpon rod
shown in the picture-Von Hof Sill
yer King Reel-and 900 feet of No.
q Cuddahunk line. Bait, live white
fish weighing about five pounds. This
is the largest fsh-337 pounds-ever
captured by rod and reel except one of
374 pounds, caught near the same
place one week later by DR.. Pease and
Mr.. Kirk Hart. They were over three
hours landing the fish, which finally
drowned himself in the heavy kelp,
clogging the line and retarding hispro-
gress. This beats the Shepherdstown
fish"

SPAIN GIVES UP.

In Paris on Monday the Spanish
peace commissioners, acting upon in
structions from their government,
finally agreed to the last demand OF
the United States, namely, that Spain
cede all of the Philippine Islands, in
Guiding the Sulu group, to the United
States in exchange for the sum OF
twenty millions of dollars. This prac-
tically closes the questions at issue,
and the formal signing of the treaty
of peace will take place in a few weeks.
The terms demanded by the United
States and yielded to by Spain are
these
Abandonment of Spanish sovereign
ty over Cuba.
Cession of Porto Rico and all the
other islands known as the Spanish
West Indies.
Cession of the Island of Guam, in
the Ladrones.
Cession Of the Philippine Islands,
including the Sulu group.
The United States refuses to assume
any Of the colonial debts of Spain.
The Spanish government expressed
its opposition to the demands of the
United States, which it does not re-
gard as just or equitable. But having
exhausted all the resources Of diploma
cy in the attempt to modify the terms,
there is left no other course than to
agree to them, as Spain is in no con-
dition to renew the war. So, toavoid
further bloodshed, and from consider
atoms of humanity and patriotism, she
submits to the conditions Of the con-
quering nation, harsh though they be-

THE Republican newspapers of this

THE Republican newspapers of this
State are doing lot of bowling over
what they profess to believe is unfair
ness of Democrats in securing seats in
the Legislature, and they are trying
to work up sentiment against the
party by anticipating still further
turning out of Republicans when the
Legislature meets. COL ]. B. Peyton,
for SO many years clerk of the House
of Delegates, makes the following un-
biased statement in this connection:
Never within the thirteen consecu-
tive sessions of Democratic Legislatures,
from 1871 to 1898 inclusive, was Re-
publican unseated. Our Republican
friends ousted two Democrats since they
came into power-one in 1895 and one
in 1897. This is history"
In view Of the foregoing facts it
would seem proper for the Republi-
cans to keep still, for the present at
least.

THERE is an unconfrmed rumor
that Governor Atkinson will declare
vacant the seats of Senators Getzen-
danner and Pearson and call a special
election to fill the vacancies. This
action on the part of the Governor is
quite unnecessary. AT the regular
election a few weeks ago the vacan-
cies were filled by regularly nomina-
ted candidates, and the two Senators
hen elected are now ready to enter
upon their duties. The Governor
should have gotten awake few
weeks sooner.

The Supreme Court of Appeals Of
West Virginia handed down its decls-
ion at Charleston last week in the
contested election case Of H. S. Cush-
wa VS.. c. NJ. Lamar, of this city. AT
the city election in May, 1897, Cush-
wa and Lamar were the Democratic
and Republican candidates respect
lively for city council in the second
ward. Lamar had a majority Of two
on the face Of the returns. Cushwa
asked for a recount and the council
increased Lamars majority to four.
Mr.. Cushwa carried the case to the
Circuit Court, where Lamar again
came out ahead, then Messrs. Weston
haver and Walker, attorneys for Cush-
wa, appealed the case, which results
in the seating of Cushwa, The term
will be out next May, but Cushwa
will draw pay for the whole term and
Lamar will have to pay the costs,
which will amount to several hundred

Two Not Always Company.

People who are shut off from contin-
ual contact with their kind are apt to
grow splenetic. Army officers who have
lived for long periods at one company
post on the frontier and the wives of
these army officers may know something
about the difficulties of small groups of
human beings living together and low
ing one another.
Keepers of lighthouses do not always
get along together, and if there are two
Lighthouse keepers and two lighthouse
keepers wives the result is generally a
monkey and parrot time.
Light housekeeping in lighthouses by
lighthouse keepers wives often leads to
heavy work with rolling pins.
Even husbands and wives have been
known to quarrel on the honeymoon
tour, not because they did not love one
another, but because, being in foreign
countries, they were cut off from their
kind and were forced to rely entirely on
one another's society. It is one of the
weaknesses of human nature. Man is
gregarious. When few individuals are
isolated, they nearly always quarrel
