COMING AGAIN.

Rutter's Band and Big Excursion Is
Coming from Uniontown some time
Next M0nth-The Occasion will be a
Big One.
Tom Protzman, of the Cross Roads
was here on Sunday and spent the
day. He is making arrangements
to have the Rutter's band here some
time next month and the occasion
will be great success. The people
of the town will be at the wharf to
meet the band and they will be es-
corted to the court house square
where they will give concert. In
case of bad weather the concert will
be given in the Opera House this be-
ing due to the courtesy of Manager
Somehow.
The citizens of the town know
that the organization which is the
pride of Uniontown is one of the
very best in the country and they
should turn out in large numbers on
the occasion of the visit and show
the members of the band that their
efforts to entertain us are appreci-
ated at their true worth.
A large excursion will come up
from Uniontown with the band.
They will take the Mason at down
river point and expect to be here in
time to spend several hours in the
town meeting us and looking over
the town and surroundings.

Wealth in Wheat

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette:
The wheat crop of Minnesota and the
Dakotas will bring to those states
1925, coo, 900 in cold cash. 1t would
take lots of big manufacturing es-
adjustments to bear record like
that. And this is new wealth, too,
for all of it came from the ground.
1t is the gold that comes from sol
idit1ed sunshine and condensed dew,
and is the equal Of the yellow
metal that comes from Mon
tana, Colorado, and the Klondike.
Verify the farmers are having their
innings after the hard times.

DIR. Raymond At The Preston
County Institute.

The Kingwood Journal refers to DIR.
Raymond's appearance at the teach
er's institute there as follows:
President Raymond of the state
university entered the room and was
warmly applauded. He was intro
duced to the institute by Superintend-
ent Trotter, who spoke on the rela-
tions of this county to the university.
DR.. Raymond then favored the insti-
tute with an interesting speech in be-
half of the university. 644 students
have been enrolled during the year,
1856 are attending the summer session.
Summer study has some advantage
over winter study, and in respect to
lectures alone the student has excel
lent opportunities at this season.
The system of study by means OF
correspondence was discussed at
length, and while the student lacks
personal contact with teacher and
class, he recites the entire lesson every
time, and such instruction may be
very thorough and satisfactory
The student may take half his studies
at home in this manner Every
teacher may gain college education
if he will. Precision is of the great
est value in study. The motto 'snt
plus ultra, nothing more beyond
is not true of the student. Co-educa
tion was warmly praised The pro
portion of lady students at the uni
yersity is increasing.

MEETS AT MOUNTAIN LAKE.
Democratic congressional COM
mittee meet at the sum-
mer resort.

They arrange for the coming campaign
Their Plans of Course are Not Made
Public They will make Hot fight
the Distant Atkinson interview shows
that theRepublicans are not very san.
guine OF YictOry--The startling con-
fessi0n of orr erratic governor gives
confidence to the Democrats and
makes the Republicans FESTIVE under
the collar.
The Democratic executive commit
tee for the second district met ia
Mountain Lake Park on Saturday and
adjourned on Monday. While there
they went over the ground thorough
~ and canvassed the situation ex-
haustively. The members express
themselves as very well satisfied with
the outlook in the district and they
will make hot fight from the time
the campaign opens until the votes
are all in and counted
Their plans of course were not CIV
en- to the public but enough is known
of the ability of the candidate to
warrant the supposition that he will
make the fight warm one in every
corner Of the district and that his OPP
ponent will have hard row to hoe.
McGraw will give the district such a
campaign as it has not seen for years
and it will no doubt attract the at
tention of the country
1t seems certain that Dayton will
be his opponent. He has already enough
to nominate him on the first ballot
and will get more by the time the
delegates get on the ground at Key
ser this week. The names of the
other gentlemen who aspire to the
honor of the nomination may not
come before the convention at all.
Governor Atkinson has drawn the
attention of the state to himself.
As usual the comments that are be-
ing passed on him are far from com
plimentarY but he doesn't care for
that. All he wants, is to see his
name in print and he does not care
what the character of reading matter
in connection with it may be. This
time he makes the startling state
ment in an interview that his party is
going to have hard fight on its
hands all over the state this fall and
that the chances are against them in
this district as in others. This will
give the Democratic feeling of con-
fidence and will make his party cor
respondingly depressed.
OF course every one feels that the
statement of the state executive is
correct but it is certainly surprising
to hear prominent pollution max
ing such admissions when there can
be nothing gained by such course
and every thing lost or at least jeop-
ardized.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
A very general feeling of disap-
pointment, not to say disgust, is be-
ing felt by the people Of Morgantown
over the evident failure Of street paw
ing for the present year.
Give the contractor the same pro-
portion Of time that he has been at
work on Foundry street, and he will
by accurate calculation, get to the
head OF Main street on the first of
February 1899.
Is the Town Council satisfied to
have our streets remain in their pres
ent ragged, unsightly, and unhealthy
condition all winter? Or would it
not rather be more like business to
put contractor on the streets who
has the appliances for his business;
who will use business methods in do
ing business; and who will give us
good business job with business dis
patch. BUSINESS.

SCHLEY'S RECEPTION.
All Washington goes Wild over
the Hero of Santiago.

Enthusiastic Thousands make his Pro-
gress along the Street Continuous
Ovation-Police have great Difficulty
in Clearing Way through the Peo-
pie-Tremendous Enthusiasm was in
Great Contrast with the Frost that
Sampson got when lie reached the
Capital-A Representative of this
Paper Witnesses the outburst.
While in Washington, ID. c., on
last Friday representative of this
paper saw the entrance of Admiral
Schley and the reception which the
capital city paid to the hero of San
| tiago. a position high above the
crowd in hotel window gave good
opportunity to see everything that
happened and the spectacle was
most string one.
Sampson had visited Washington
a few days before and his reception
had been chilling one from the
crowds which were small and I'M
demonstrative. It was matter Of
considerable speculation as to the
way III which his now subordinate
would be received. A great many
people expected an ovation but ev-
eryone was surprised by the warmth
OF the greeting which he received.
Accompanied by his wife he ar
rived shortly after four o'clock in
the afternoon. The news of his com
ing had been spread broadcast over
the city by the newspaper bulletins
and the station was jammed when
the train pulled in As soon as the
crowds caught sight of the object Of
their quest they set up tremend
GUS cheering which was heard for
great distance over the city.
/ This at once attracted thousands
of people who knew what was going
on and were anxious to join in the
demonstration. With great difficulty
the Admiral who was weak from a
recent illness and his wife who ac-
companied him were gotten through
the crowds by the police which had
been sent there for that purpose.
Finally they were gotten into cab
after he had shaken hands with
hundreds of people and was started
through the throngs toward Penn
sylvania Avenue. The cheers were
deafening and the thousands of peo-
pie wed with each other in the
eagerness which they showed to do
homage to the hero OF the destruc-
tion of Cerveras fleet.
The progress to the hotel was re-
tarded all the way by the people who
rushed into the streets endeavoring
to touch even the cab in which he
was riding or to grasp his hand for
an instant. The Admiral was deep
ly affected by the evidences of the
good will of his countrymen and
held an informal reception to hun
dreds of friends at the Shorham af-
ter his arrival there.
The scenes attending his arrival
were matched on his every appear
ance on the streets and everywhere
he went his appearance was the sig
nal for renewed outbursts of patriot
ic enthusiasm.

HITCH In THE PROCEEDINGS.
Judge Thomas Jefferson Mack
ey's Wife No 1, Hesitates

About Having Divorce Papers Served
Upon The Old Man Mackey And
His fascinating Girl Wife Are in Hid
ing In Jersey-The Judges Former
Landlady Says He Did Not Provide
His Wife Eight Ounces of Food In
Four Days-How Mackey Disguised
Himself When He Went Out OF The
House-The Porterfleld Family High
ly Spoken OF.
NEW YORK, August 2S.-Judge
Thomas Jefferson MaclSey and his fas-
cinating girl wife are in hiding some
where in Jersey. The landlady in
whose furnished room house in West
Twenty-third street, near Seventh
avenue, the Judges bride, Mrs. Kath-
arine S. PorterleldMa was kept
locked up by her jealous lord, said yes
terday that she did not believe the
Judge brought eight ounces of food
to his prisoner during their stay OF
four days in her house.
The judge, it was learned Yesterday,
was always "made up when he left
the house. He wore pair of trous-
ers which had been slit. His coat
was disreputable garment. He
wore noe ollar, but a handkerchie flied
loosely around his neck. An ancient
pair of slippers down at the heel were
his foot garb. An old hat pulled
down over one side of his head com
pleted the disguise.
This was not as he appeared when
he skipped over to Jersey, but as he
was invariably dressed when he made
pretense Of going out to buy rolls for
his wife. His landlady is sure that
he was afraid of being recognized If
he appeared as gentleman in the
street.
A peculiar feature of the case is
that Mrs. Sarah Lenore Curtis Mackey
wife No. /, has not yet ordered Law
yer John B. Fiske, Of the firm of
Evarts, Choats & Behman, TO pro-
coed with her suit for divorce against
the Judge. She ordered preliminary
papers drawn, then Mr.. Fiske went
away on his vacation, leaving the
papers already prepared, to be COM
leted when Mrs. Mackey MOL should
give the word. She is now with friends
at Mol II Hawkins street, New Britain
Conn.
The brother Of Mrs. Mackey No. 2.
Charles Porterfield, who is an editor
for the law publishing house of Thorn
son & Co., sees ray of hope in this
apparent reluctance Of wife No. | to
come forward and press her suit for
divorce.
Clerks of Lawyer Fiske were inform
ed of the precise wherea bouts Of
Judge Mackey, and if wanted he
could have been arrested before he
ran away. 1t is therefore inferred by
friends of Mrs. Mackey No. 2. that the
first wife will not cause papers to be
served upon him. Evarts, Choate &
Beaman are annoyed at the notoriety
the case is giving them. Orders
were left at the door of their office
yesterday that no reporters calling on
the case were TO be admitted. A
friend or Mrs. Mackey No. .. one
who has known her from a little girl,
spoke in the highest terms of her
and her family yesterday. He said
that the family OF Colonel George A,
Porterfield, Of Charles Town, w. Va,
were without spot. Col. Porterfeld
is reported to be worth $3.50, 600. He
was not surprised that her family al
lowed Miss Katherine to marry the
Judge, for ten years ago the aged lady
killer stood well in Washington So
ciety.

Cowper and His Critic.

The poet Cowper had once sent a
poem to the publisher when some
friendly critic took the liberty to alter
a line to make the poem smoother,
supposins that Cowper would be CRATE
full for the favor; but Cowper did not
think "oily smoothness'' the only merit
of poetry, and SO was very indignant.
Il did not write the line" said he.
that has been tempered with, hastily
or without due attention to Its con-
struction, and what appeared to me it's
only merit is now entirely annihilated.
I know that the ears Of modern verse
makers are delicate to excess, SO II
a line does not run as smoothly as
quicksilver, they are offended. A critic
of the present day serves a poem as a
cook serves a turkey-fastens the legs
of it to a post and draws o all its
sinews. Give me a manly. rough line
with a deal of meaning in it, rather
than a whole poem Of music periods
that have nothing but their oily
smoothness to recommend them. There
is a roughness on the plum which no
one who understands fruit would rub
off, though the plum would be more
polished without it. To guard me
for the future from all such meddling,
l assure you that l always write as
smoothly as l an, but never will sac
rifce the spirit or sense of a passage
to the sound of It."

waterfall 6f JuMnacatlan; Little
known but Picturesque Cataract.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat:
The great waterfall of Juanacatlan is
one Of the grandest, though least known,
scenic wonders Of Mexico. The imme-
date approach to the falls is In itself
an artists dream Of rural delights.
Leaving the railroad at the little sta
ton bf Ell Castillo, one is conveyed by
d native tramcar for d distance of five
miles through d beautiful circular val
ley thousands OF acres in area and re-
semblihg ia the graceful curves Of its
surrounding hills and the delicate
tints of its labyrinths of wild flowers
a mammoth seashell. At frequent in
tervals above the tops Of the long
grasses and tropical shrubs glimpses
are caught Of the broad, winding Rio
de Santiago, its waters Fastening on
ward to the mad. Having traversed
perhaps two-thirds OF this enchanting
landscape, ones eye gradually be-
comes conscious Of a low, distant MUIR
muir, which steadily increases to a
deep rumble, and from that to a
mighty foar, and presently the tram
car comes to a standstill at the very
brink Of a high precipice, from which
is viewed through clouds Of vaporous
mist the sight Of thousands of IONS Of
water %plunging over a wall of gray
granite iii d steady, iinbroken cataract
$50 feet in width for a sheer distance
OF sixty feet in a seething, eddying
vortex below. For a time the mind is
apt to be held in rapt contemplation
of the spectacle; then, by degrees, the
senses are awakened to the various
characteristics, the exquisite effects
and weird vagaries of the foaming,
falling waters. At the extreme fur-
Their shore a portion of the rushing
food is turned aside by a spur Of gran
lite and hurled against the face Of the
combining wall, from which it rebounds
in a fine veil-like cascade, while from
the top Of the precipice Oh the nearer
side long trailing vines droop down
and reach out their tendrils as If in
vain efforts to grasp the descending
torrents. Associated with these falls
Is a strange and beautiful phenomenon.
1t is the constant presence Of myriads
Of gorgeous butterflies, which fit in
and out of the riffs of the great cascade
and to and fro through the clouds OF
drifting vapor, seemingly attracted
and fascinated by the dazzling, buffet
ing avalanche of foam.

ought to get up than when he went to
bed; he rises at the last moment, and,
boiling a mouthful OF breakfast, rushes
off to catch the train or trolley, wor-
ried and anxious lest he be late at his
office. At lunchtime, particularly il
he Ia busy, he takes, not a meal, but a
biscuit, a sandwich, eaten perhaps
standing, and often bolted in such a
manner that the grim fend indigestion
instantly claims him as his own, more
particularly IL he INDUCES in frequent
"nips." Very often his reason is that
il he makes a heavy meal he renders
himself unfit for the duties of the after
noon. But there is moderation in all
things-a quiet, simple lunch taken
quietly and sitting down should be in
dulged in. In the evening he eats his
dinner, very often a heavy meal, and
perhaps not before half-past seven or
eight o'clock. Now, granting that this
meal is amply sufficient, such a man
lives virtually on n meal a day. Re-
suit, in time a breakdown. A holiday
sets him up again for a time, but, If
he persists in this evil course, only to
break down again. We cannot too
strongly impress upon our readers the
absolute necessity in the interests of
their health devoting a proper atten-
ton to this all-important question Of
careful eating. To get up in plenty of
time for a comfortable breakfast is
after all only a question of habit, and
we ought not to forget that a good
breakfast, with plenty of time to eat
it in is the very best foundation for the
day. Again, a moderate lunch, taken
leisurely, and not bolted, is a necessity.
