FIREMEN'S DANGER.

The February number Of The Cent
ury has notable article from the pen
of Jacob A. Rils on the peril that en-
compasses the life of fremen. The
story sets forth the romantic side OF
the life of fre-hghter, and shows the
great danger to which he is constantly
exposed. While writing the article
Mr.. Rils learned of a disabled fireman
who leaped from his cot when awak-
ened by the alarm which rang in the
hospital. Following instinct, he
groped about, half awake, for the pole,
from which he was wont to slide to the
seat on the engine. He had broken
the plaster cast about his ankle. but
was utterly oblivious to pain when alb.
sorbed in the thought of duty.
The sacrifice of six lives in a Boston
fire few days ago was terrible re-
minder of the danger the iremen run
and the deeds of bravery they exhibit
in the line of duty. They encounter
a treacherous enemy. They must fol
low the glow of flames or the source ot
smoke into dangerous buildings which
may topple and crush them. No mat
ter how wisely they are directed, they
are in constant danger when on duty

offer of three prizes-the largest being
s100-for the best accounts of vacation
experiences, to be illustrated by photo

awarding of the prizes on the com bined
merits of articles and pictures. The
competition was closed on January 18th
last. Very nearly two hundred arti
cles and not far from two thousand
photographs were received in response
to the offer, and the editors feel assured
that the result will be extremely graft

An Old Time Soldier, Dies at HIS Home In
New York City.
New YORK, Feb. s.-Gen. John Coch-
rane died Monday night at his home in
this city. Gen. Cochrane was an old
time soldier, a member of the Loyal
Legion and several other military
orders. On July IT, 1862. while with
the army of the Potomac, he was made
brigadier general. In 1864 he was
nominated for vice president of
the United States on the inde-
pendent republican ticket, Gen.
John c. Fremont being the candidate
for president Gen. Cochrane also
served as attorney general of the state
of New York, as president of the New
York aldermanic board, and in 1883
was appointed to police justiceship.
One of the most notable things in his
career was his selection to FIJI the un-
expired term for mayor of New York
city at the time of the retirement OF
Oakley Hall. No arrangements for his
funeral have yet been made.

TWO BROTHERS,
Touching Instance of True Broth
erly Love.

a TOuchtnE Instance of True Broth
erly Love.
Here is the story of two brothers
who stuck to one another through life,
and in death were not divided, says Les
lies Weekly. They were past GO years
OF age, and, being reported i'll and des-
titute in the old house where they
lived alone, were removed to Bellevue
hospital. Each. though helpless, was
anxious to take care of the other.
When asked II they had any friends,
both gave the same reply: "The best
friend have in the worh Is my brother
here"
On their cots side by side they lay
dying, yet neither appeared to have any
thought of his own suffering, but asked
continually that something be done for
his brother. The elder one died first,
saying: 'Good-by, John, dear. God
bless you'll" Less than four hours after
this farewell John breathed his last.
The next day-it was the day after
Christmas-the two brothers lay side
by side in the morgue, where an aged
woman, who had been their friend,
came and identified the bodies. promis-
ing to notify relatives who would see
that they were buried together.
Such is real incident from the great
epic Of daily life in the metropolis, and
1t points its moral better than some
fiction.

THE LANGUAGE OF EDEN.
said by Highiendcrs TO Have Been
GneIfc.

Said by Highiendcrs TO Have Been
Gaelic.
The Scottish Highlanders have al
ways been firmly convinced that Adam
and Eve used 'ta Gaelic;" and it is
gratifying to find that philologists, as
they grow wiser, are coming round to
the same opinion, says the Scottish
American. 1t is true that they have
made no express admission to this eff
feet as yet, but there is evidence that
we are on the eve Of au acknowledge
ment that Gaelic was the original Ian
guage of the human race.
The latest deliverance on the subject,
IL 1t does not altogether silence these
skeptics and scoffers who derided this
ARTICLE of Highland faith, ought to at
least make them give pause. DR.. Lett
ner, distinguished German orientalist
and philologist, has declared Gaelic to
be contemporary or derivative of the
Prakit, closely allied to the spoken iatl-
guage and out of which Sanscrit be-
came a written language" He even
goes so far as to assert that there seem
to be in the Gaelic Certain survivals
of prehistoric language"
Clearly this point in the direction of
the Highland contention, and the pres
ent acknowledgement, therefore, al
though tardy. and not. perhaps, quite
so full as might be desired, will no
doubt be welcome.
But Gaelic has another distinction.
II is. as even the Sassenach knows, the
language to swear in. The distinction,
However. is that one does not quite har-
monize with the theory Of its Para
disaical oriQin.

EXIT THE ARCTIC WHALE.
Pursuit by Man Has Virtually Extin-
Euished the Deen-Sen Mannter.


Whalers, and especially the man with
the harpoon, have always been popular
characters, and, indeed. the peri,s and
exploits of their trade form not the
least stirring chapter in the romance
OF commerce, says the London Ora phic.
1t will, therefore, touch most of us with
some slight sense of loss to learn-as
correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
assures us-that, as far as the arctic
seas are concerned, that chapter is
closed. This is prosaic age. and the
results of that famous corporation of
whalers, the Dundee Arctic Fisheries
company, limited, for the last two years
have, it is said, not only not satisfied the
shareholders, but have resulted in a
heavy loss. The right whale, which
provides the famous bone, has become
so scarce that ship is nowadays lucky
II 1t be rewarded by even one small one
as the reward of a whole seasons
struggle with arctic fog and ice. A
parallel might be drawn between the
pursuit of the arctic leviathan and the
African behemoth. the elephant. Mod
ern improvements in weapons of de-
struction have so thinned both their
tribes that, as objects of profit, they
have almost ceased to be worth the
seeking.

of the grounds Upon investigation
the War Department discovered that
an absolutely clear title to the property
could not be obtained and the expendi-
ture Of the money has hung fire ever
since.
1t Is now proposed by the general
government to go ahead with the work
If the City of Marietta, the Ministerial
TrustecG and the State of Ohio will
give title as good as possible. To
that end Mr.. Follett had prepared two
resolutions. The first, which was
adopted by unanimous vote OF Council,
gives the city's consent for the erection
of the lock house and asks the State
Legislature TO pass law to that end.
The second resolution is similar in
character and will be adopted by the
Ministerial Trustees. When that is
done Col Riley will secure the passage
of law upon which the government
will proceed at once.
The new lock house will be a hand
some structure and will be erected near
the center of the lot. In accordance
with the resolutions, as prepared, the
city also will be empowered to erect
city buildings on the same piece of
ground.
Upon motion the City Commissioner
was ordered to provide for better drain
age of Fort Square on the West Side.
The Engineer was instructed to give
residents on Fearing street, West Side,
mum bers for their houses.
President Mcclure, for the third or
fourth time called attention to the old
eyesore of wornout sidewalks on Front
street between Wooster and Washing
ton, but no action was taken.

w, G. T. u,

The w. c. T. U. met at the usual
hour on Thursday afternoon. Mrs,
Stuckenberg and Mrs. Walter honored
us with their presence. Mrs. Walter
is, and has been for years, as is well
known, a devoted temperance worker.
Her kind interest in the Marietta W.
c. T. U. on her return visits is most
thoroughly appreciated by those most
interested in the welfare of the Union.
Mrs. Walter is desirous of helping our
Union. She is giving us many good
ideas, and is willingly taking upon
herself work that may result in great
good to the Union and blessing to
the city. She speaks nothing but
good for the Curfew Ordinance as they
have it in Pueblo, Colo, a city of 35, 600
inhabitants. The children soon learn
ed to respect the law. Mrs. Walter
had the words from one small street
urchin that, st is good for us, for
now we study more" Mothers have
come to them thanking them, saying
it has helped them so much, and that
now they do not have the same heart
aches that they had with their incor-
rigible children before the Curfew Or
dinance went into effect. Mrs. Stuck
enberg has expressed her willingness
to meet with the Union every Thurs
day afternoon during her stay in our
city. She is familiar with the work of
the W. c. T. u, and is quick to see the
needs of our Union.
We kindly urge and entreat the
members of the Union to come to the
meeting next Thursday at 2:SO P. NJ.
at the First M. E. Church. Your pres
ence will be greatly appreciated by
Mrs. Stuckenberg. She will then be
able to lay before us plans for systema-
tic work. The year 1898 brings with
it its own particular temperance work,
and no small amount of the work must
be done by the women. We cannot
afford to let our day and generation
suffer for lack of zeal on our part.
Women must not be satisfied with
merely saying, "Yes, am a temper
ance woman" but must come to the
front and do something. factions
speak louder than words" in temper
ance work.
We now have leader among us,
sent, as it seems to us, by the All Wise
hand of Providence. Let US then rec
ognize Gods hand in the hour of our
extremity, and renew our vows to be
potent power against intemperance in
all it's forms.
We extend warm invitation to the
Y's to meet with us. You would be a
help and an inspiration to us. And we
believe you could say, ut was well
for us to be there"
The invitation is still further extend
ed to all persons interested in the
great work of the w. c. T. U. to meet
with US.
Let this new year tegin with grand
rally of all good PEOPLE in our city to
prove the words of Francis Willard
'Only the Golden Rule of Christ can
bring the Golden Age of Man."
