A FAMOUS WHEELING PRODUCT
Finds Favor In Far-ofr Venezuelan
Appreciative Letter.

The fame Of Wheeling's products, Il
appears, It MOI circumscribed by the
United tSates, but reaches to the utter
most parts OF the earth. The was veri-
fed the other day by the receipt Of a let
ter from New York firm to F. Schenk
& Sons, in which their hams were ex-
tolled by q steamship captain. whose
family resides at Curacao, Venezuela.
The letter from the New York firm says
In part: 1.-THE last mail from curacoa
brought me letter from Captain Rcith,
OF the steamship Maracaibo, in which
he states that his family disposed Of one
! OF your hams, and and his ships mess
the other. Both authorities pronounced
the hams to be as fine as any they ever
ate. and that the same were as fresh
and toothsoIne as possible. In this way
you have the first assurance that your
hams should weather the tropics In
good condition."
Messrs. Schenk & Son are justly proud
of this record Of their product, and will
no doubt take steps TO extend their
trade in that direction, and that while
benefits may accrue to them, 1, will also
rebound to the credit and fame OF
Wheeling. IT,

Makes the outlook Very Black for
Ex-casliler Harry Clark.
'EEWAS0NT STAND MONDAY
AND ACCORDING TO THE OPINION
/. OF DISTINGUISHED PERSONS
IT WE'RE BETTER FOR HIM HAD
HE NOT TEsTIFlEp-THp MISS
ING CHECK. ACCORDING TO
CLARK. is THE PAYMENT OF
THE SHORTAGE HE MADE TO
THE BANK officials.

The trial OF Harry Clark. ex.cashler
Of the First National Bank. of Bridge
port, now being held before Judge Ham
mond, in the United States distrlc,
Court at Columbus, continued yester-
day, and the features Of the days pro-
ceedlngs was the placing OF Clark on
the stand in his own behalf. Says n
special dispatch received last night by
the Intelligencer:
Harry NJ. Clark took the stand In his
own behalf. The case has now been on
trial in the United tsates before Judge
Hammond for three days. Clark's coun-
sci are making every effort to save
him, but thus far their Efforts have ap-
parcntly been unavailing. Jus. after
court opened Monday morning, Judge
briggs, who 10 conducting the defense,
moved that the case BIO given TO the
jury at once, with instructions to find
promptly overruled the motion, and the
trial was proceeded with.
When Clark was called to the witness
stand In the afternoon, the court room
was full OF visitors, who waited with In
terest his testimony. This was OF the
most damaging character against him
self. He was forced to acknowledge
many things which make the case look
bad for him. It was the opinion Of all
the disinterested persons In the room
that It would have been better mad he
not attempted to testify at all He &c
knowledged that while he had changed
the figures on the book OF the bank, SO
as to make them correspond with the
booksof the Progress Building Company
when he turned them over to the new
secretary, TINT he did not do SO with
any desire to injure or defraud the bank
or to deceive FITS officials.
Tho whole case seems to hinge on a
check of which no trace can be found.
Clark claims that he gave the bank his
personal check for ss6ld, which amount
almost covers his Indebtedness to the
bank. He claims that this check was
regularly put away with the other
checks, but It Is now missing. II this
could be found 1t would go much lighter
with Clark. The arguments were COM
menced late Monday afternoon. Dis
trict Attorney Bundy Is making the case
look very black for Clark.

Two Landsildes on the Pan Handle Read
Above the City on Monday.
Yesterday about noon there were two
landslides on the Pan Handle road, a
few miles above the city, on the river
division, near Wilson's Station. and as
q result traffic was suspended between
Wheeling Junction and this city for
several hours a large force Of men
was sent to the scene Of the slides, and
after some hard work the track was
cleared late in the afternoon, and traf-
fic was resumed. The afternoon trains
were knocked out and 1t was necessary
10 make transfers. On account Of there
being two slides, some distance apart,
It was at first impossible to make the
transfers. as there were no trains be-
tween the slides. The slips were caused
by the heavy rains Of the past thirty
six hours.

The many strange uses to winch
snake skins are now put would sur
prise the ordinary woman who buys
q strip of leather for belt and a
yard of satin for handbag, for snake
skins are used for belts and hand
bags and for a great many other
things
The strangest use to which Mr.. Sui
livan's snake skins were put was at
Christmas time, when young lady
visited him and wanted two skins for
suspenders for her best young man.
She was tired Of the woven ones and
her resources in crewel work were ex-
hausted. She wanted something nice
The snake-dealer selected two long
slender skins which had just been
obligingly shed and offered to get
them up for her in good shape. When
she called week later she found the
finest. most beautiful pair Of suspend
ers she had ever seen. They were tan
with long green stripes running
through them. The scales had been
removed In the middle of the larg-
est part of the green stripe was a big
black eye looking not unlike a snake
eye.
Carriers are one of the uses also to
which snake skins are put. Many of
the skins When shed are imperfect.
they are torn half way their length.

Snake skin when dressed is no more

Snake skin when dressed is no more
Objectionable than sealskin or calf
skin. Alligator skin has been so long
in use that no one objects TO it, yet
old dealers will tell you the trouble
they once had introducing it. The
same with snake skin. Many object,
but it is coming in just the same.
Enough skin for pair CT slipper
fronts costs s25, and if you want .
cobra for a bag you must pay $40.
Fifty dollars is cheap for a handsome
snake belt of green and tan with black
eyes.
The very incest skins have the scales
all on There is something in the
seasoning process that holds she scales
in place. Attempts have been made to
treat FISH skins in the same way, but,
as a rule, by the time the fish is ridden
of it's natural odor the brilliant, shiny
scales have Clipped off, but the prop
erly seasoned snake skins have them
all on.
