are that the Kentucky law authorizing
such tax on foreign corporations is
in violation of the regulations of inter

American Express Co. has not such
property or privilege in this state as
brings it within the purview of this
state and is therefore exempt.

AMERICAN SAYINGS.
Phrases Originated in this Country
Which Will Live.

''Don't swear: fight,n The phrase
has the ring of some metal.
The American army of invasion adj
vancing upon Santiago de Cuba was
preceded by body of Rough Riders.
Suddenly the Spaniards, who were
lying in ambush, fired deadly volley,
and the startled Rough Riders re-
piled with an outburst of curses.
Don't swear; f1ght!n called Colonel
Wood. The phrase will live
America is a big country; it is
destined to become great country,
for there is manliness and yigor in
the memorable phrases coined by cele-
brated Americans. 1t was Stephen
Decatur who originated the toast;
"Our country, right or wrong" Hen
ry Clay said "Sir, l would prefer to
be right than be President. !" The
last words of Nathan Hale were; II
only regret that have but one life
to lose for my country" William
Penn coined the phrase: / prefer the
honestly simple to the ENORMOUSLY
wicked" And it was Henry Ward
Beecher who uttered the words:
''The mothers heart is the child's
schoolroom."
When nations become artificially
refined the phrases which their great
men coin are generally either cynicle
or fiippant. Thus to Talleyrand is
attributed the phrase, "Mistrust
first impressions; they are always
good.n Voltaire declared that "Ideas
are like boards; children and women
never wear them. To which might
be added, except when they are
monstrosities. Antoine Rivarole
said, ut is an immense advantage
to have done nothing, but one should
not abuse it,
Samuel Rogers said, "When / was
young | said good-natured things and
nobody listened to me; now that | am
old | say ill-natured things, and
everybody listens to me- To Sidney
Smith we are indebted for the follow
ing ungracious description of fash
ionable woman: ''Do not mind the
caprices of fashionable women; they
are as gross as poodles fed on milk
and mullins.
Whether Colonel Wood uttered them
Or not, the words, "Don't swear;
fight" will ring for long in the mem
cries of many generations. y

MARRIAGE LICENSE REVENUE.
Revenue Commissioner Scott Decides
but One Stamp Necessary.
News Standard .

Internal Revenue Collector j. S.
Fruit, of Pittsburg, has been mott
fed by Commissioner n B. Scott, of
Washington, that only one stamp is
required for marriage licenses.
When the revenue law went into
effect three 10 cent stamps were
placed on marriage licenses. News
came from an eastern county few
days ago that this was taxing the
would-be benedicts too much for
their share of the war, and County
Solicitor N. S. Williams of Allegheny
was asked for an opinion. He I'M
dertook to construe an ambiguous
ruling of the internal revenue com
missioner. When he made his re-
port one stamp was dropped, that
on the return, and the price of a Ii
cense was therefore reduced to 70
cents. Register Grip still thought
two stamps were one too many and
sent blank license to Washington,
d. G.. This was heard from and the
price is now 60 cents.
Register and Recorder Rosboro
has been following the Allegheny
county registers Office IN the mat
ter, and under the new decision he
will hereafter charge only one stamp
which will be placed on the marriage
certificate by the person performing
the ceremony.

HIS BEST WISHES
Went with Them to the Bank Of the
Beautiful River.

A party of campers who recently
spent some time on Cheat invited a
few friends to join them among the
number being Uncle" Gus Delaw-
der, of Garrett county, Maryland.
He was unable to accept the invita-
tion but sent his regrets in the fol
lowing characteristic style.
NJ Dear Jacobs I would
like to caper about with you all at
the castle, but you know | cannot

happy and take my regrets and
blessings for all of. you that your en-
joyment may be as boundless as the
tame of the most beautiful river on
whose banks you congregate. Cheat

GIANT STRIDES
American Trade is Taking Toward
Oriental Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-It was
stated in an authoritative quarter
to day that Mr.. Hays choice was
due solely to his general fitness for
the position, and was without refer
ence to or consideration of the
Chinese question. Beyond this no
official statement is made as to the
policy of the United States IN the
far East, but all the indications
point to continuance of the past
policy OF protecting and fostering
our commercial interests, without
entering into alliances or joint UNI
dertakings which entail semi politi-
cal considerations. 1t is fully recog-
nized by the authorities here that
the commercial interests of Great
Britain and the United States are
on somewhat similar lines in the far
East, and to that extent there doubt
less will be a mutually of action. 1t
is matter of current comment.
however, unofficial in character, but
S4NIANSohsN VI SShOidi iulICub Vi
sentiment in high quarter, that the
American trade in China and the
far East is advancing at such giant
strides that policy is likely to be
matured at an early day suitable TO
meet the exigeneies created by the
partial ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China and
by the spread of foreign control over
Chinese territory, concessions of
coast ports and commerce generally
There is no doubt overtures have
been made to have the United States
take an active hand in Chinese az
fairs, but so far as can be learned
this has not led TO determination
on a new and more active policy
toward the Orient, although it has
served to call attention to the great
extent Of our interests equaling, and
in some cases exceeding the trade
interests Of Great Britain, Russia
and other countries now actively
contending for control of Chinese
commerce.

An AMERICAN BANKER
On the Growth and Prosperity of the
Country.

President Hendrix, of the Bankers
Association spoke of the great
growth of the United States in his
address at the opening of the recent
session in Denver as follows
1--WE have become a great manu-
featuring nation, and we have the
Anglo Saxon thirst for wide markets
growing upon us. Ship plates from
Pennsylvania are being used upon
the Clyde. Steel rails are going to
Australia and Japan. The lowest
bid to furnish Glasgow with iron
pipe and to build a steel bridge in
Holland was in each case from an
American manufacturer. The export
of domestic manufactures has doub-
led in ten years. The promise of
experience-that the country which
can produce iron and steel at the
lowest cost will control and domi-
nate the commerce of the worlds
awaiting us, now that Alabama is
debating the price of pig-iron and
Pennsylvania is fixing the price of
steel. We hold now three of the
winning cards in the game for com
mercial greatness-iron, steel and
coal. We have long been the gran
airy of the world. We now aspire
to be its workshop. Then we want
to be it's clearing house.
s'The only thing that we know
with certainty about hard times is
that they at last come to an end.
Our most recent period of depres-
sion ended so suddenly that we can
hardly realize the why and where
fore of it. At the beginning of this
year the music we all love began
once more. The first six months of
1898 have broken the record. We
have never seen such bank clearings,
never had so many deposits and
never held so much gold as in that
period. The railroads have never
carried SO much freight. Three
fourths of all the staples were high
er on July than they were the year
before The money circulation in
the past year increased $197, 100000
and most of it was gold. The per
capita circulation increased $2.17
for 74,522,000 people Two great
harvests have been cashed, and
through the car windows coming
here we saw third getting ready.
Less than 5 per cent. Of the rail
road mileage, out of 20 per cent. in
1894, remains in the hands of re-
ceiyerS.

MRS. NJ. M. DENT ROBBED
BY Hackman in Parkersburg-GOy
Atkinson Comes to Her aid
Parkersburp Sentinel.

HarKerSDurg Oentlnel
Another lady, arriving alone in
Parkersburg, has been robbed of her
money, this time in broad day light.
Mrs. M. M. Dent, of Morgantown,
relative of Judge Dent of the Su-
preme Court OF Appeals, and mother
of Mrs. Lucius Smith, Of Staunton,
Va, who as Miss Jessie Dent has Wis
tied Miss Ida Nelly and was we'll
known in Parkersburg, arrived here
over the B. & O., at noon to-day on
her way to visit another daughter,
Mrs. Montgomery, at Charleston.
At the station she took a hack and
was driven to the Blennerhassett
Hotel. The hack driver, she says,
insisted upon taking her valise and
carrying it on the drivers seat. When
she went to the room assigned her at
the hotel she found that her valise
had been opened and three five dol
lar bills had been taken from her
pocketbook which was in the valise
A few cents in silver were left in the
pocket book, which was all she had
left. Clerk Abbott of the hotel was
notified and search was made for the
hack driver
Governor Atkinson learned of Mrs.
Dents distress, made himself known
and advanced her enough money to
take her to Charleston.

"We understand that United States

ton to accept the post of Secretary of
State is due to his special fitness to
carry out a policy in regard to which
negotiations have been proceeding for
some time between Washington and
London, and upon which substan-
tial agreement has been reached
whereby the two countries will act to-
gether in the far East and wherever
American and British interests are
identical.

them in an alience. Each is to be free
to pursue its own destinies in its own
way, but the Governments will act
together automatically where their

NEW PENSION RULING.
Veterans Residing In Foreign Coun.
tries Declared Eligible to The List.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Assistant
Secretary Davis of the Interior De-
partment has made an important rul-
ing which will benefit more than 4,
900 claimants for pensions residing in
foreign countries. Up to this time
Commissioners of pensions have de-
clined to consider applications from
soldiers residing abroad, rquiring the
claimants to come personally to the
United States to undergo a medical
examination by regular pension
board. A recent act Of Congress pro-
vided that claimants in foreign lands
may go before the United States Con-
sui and make the necessary affidavit
and have medical examination by a
physician designated by the Consul.
Commissioner Evans had not made
regulations for putting this law into
effect believing it faulty and affording
opportunities for fraud. Assistant
Secretary Davis, however, has made
a ruling which will reverse an order
issued in November suspending for
eign medical examinations. Hereaf-
ter Federal soldiers in other countries
will have facilities for getting pen
sions or increases equal to those fur
nished in the United States. The eff
feet of the decision will be to place a
large number of new pensioners on
the rolls.
