Sorg as a Laborer,

The big tobacco factory of Sorg's
was recently ABSORBED by the tobacco
trust, he receiving something like s4,-
900, 900 for the mammoth plant. He Is
taking life as easy as a man OF his ac-
tivity can possibly do, but Dowling
says he Is ready to throw his coat any
time and do as hard days work as
any man in the factory. And he has
not forgotten how to work in che to-
bacco, either. He is often seen among
his workmen doing the most menial
drudgery, simply because he was rails
ed TO 'boil and hardly knows what to
do with himself unless he is at it.
But a little while ago, he compelled
the Barney and Smith car works man
agement (Cf which corporation he is a
large stockholder) to fill certain con-
tracts for cars in order TO give the
Dayton employees work, instead of
sending them to the Pullman shops at
Chicago 1t cost a fight between Sorg
and President Barney, the latter being
knocked down by the brawny German,
but Sorg won his case, the work was
done in the Dayton shops and the
workmen were given constant employ
ment, instead of sending 1t away to
Chicago and allowing the Dayton peo-
pie to go idle.--Ohio State Journal.

West Side Sewer,

Mr.. Darrow maintains that the sewer
is constructed in a good and work.
manlike manner. If there is anything
wrong with the grade he says he cam
not see how he had anything to do
with that, as every piece of pipe was
placed in position under measurements
by the city official in charge. who was
appointed by the City Engineer The
line from which these measurements
were made was stretched over the CEN
Ter of the ditch between points fixed by
,-e Engineer every fifty feet. and the
city inspector measured down from
this line to every joint of pipe as it
went in; so in fact the workmen had
nothing whatever to do with the grade
The city inspector directed them to
the fraction of an inch as to the loca-
tion of each joint.
Mr.. Darrow says he had the sewer
completed before the first of January,
and when the Council were to go in a
body to inspect 1t everything was all
right and only two of the Council got
there. They pronounced it all right.
Since then, Mr.. Darrow says, some
friend of his dumped several buckets
full OF ebay down into lamp hole, and
when the Council got there the last
time, the flow line was damned up by
the clay in this lamp hole.

Not the Only One,

1t has been recalled that General
Miles is not the only commander of the
army who has been called liar by a
subordinate. Ninety years ago Cen
eral Winfield Scott, who was then a
captain in the army, was tried by court
martial for having said at a public ta-
BILE that he never saw but two traitors
General Wilkinson and Burr-and
that General Wilkinson was a liar and
a scoundrel. He was found guilty and
was suspended for year, notwlth-
standing the fact that his utteranees
turned out to be true.-Galllpolls

The Canitol Addition.

The cornerstone of the addition to
the state capitol was laid Thursday
afternoon with appropriate ceremonies
in the presence of large number of
people.
Although the event was one in which
every citizen of Ohio has an interest,
there was no extraordinary demon
stration. The addition was planned
purely as an economic measure and
the people have accepted 1t in that
light. Whether the expectations of the
projectors will be realized remains for
fu,ure generation to decide.
The addition will cost probably over
a half million of dollars. 1t will pro-
vide ample accommodations for the
Supreme Court and other overcrowded
state departments. 1t will add moth
ing however to the grace and beauty
of the main building, nor will it rem
edy the serious defects in the construc-
ton and interior arrangement of the
oId capitol.
The building of the addition effectu-
ally estops any effort to remodel or
beautify the capitol. The expenditure
of half million dollars will seem
quite sufficient to the taxpayers of the
state for the next quarter of century
or so long, at least, as the enlarged
capitol meets all demands.
The occasion is not one for regrets,
however. The stace administration
has felt the need of monument and
NJ one doubts that the structure when
completed will be fitting and appro-

istration.-Ohio State Journal.

Believes He is HyDnotized,

Martin McNicholas, a young man 23
years of age, formerly employed at C.
A. Wade's mill, is in the county Jail.
His offense was wild shooting on up
per Ann street yesterday evening
about 6 o'clock.
A telephone call came to police head
quarters for policeman to come out
there, and Officer Roberts was detailed
on the case. He found McNicholas
with a revolver on his person. He told
the officer that Mrs. Wolfe had hypno-
tized him and he intended to shoot her.
He had shot at the house and missed
it.
He was arrested. A commitment was
executed by Squire Jones and the man
was taken to the county Jail.
The belief is chat the young mans
mind has became temporarily derang-
ed. He is not Incorporate, but has
not been employed at the mill for over
a year and it has frequently been no
ticed that he was melancholy. His
reputation has been good always
Today the unfortunate young man
vas examined as to his mental condi-
ticn by Drs. Roe and Kelley and was
pronounced insane. He was commit
ted to the Spencer Asylum by Squire
Jones and will be taken to that insti-
tuition as soon as the necessary papers
are made ut.-Parkersburg Journal.

Millions Of Stamps Used in 1893.

Uncle Sam printed few postage
stamps during the year 1898. The
number of two cents stamps issued
during the year was about $500, 900. 900
Such a number, obviously. is beyond
the grasp Of the human mind, but per-
haps the matter may be made more
clear by putting 1t otherwise.
An ordinary two cent stamp Is ex-
actly one inch long. From this fact,
by little calculation, 1t is easy to dis
cover that the number of stamps of
this denomination issued in 1898,
placed end to end, would extend a dis
lance considerably exceeding $4,000
miles. In other words, they would
make a continuous strip of stamps.
each one adorned with the head of the
father of his country, stretching in a
belt more than once and a half around
the equator.
Enough one cent postage stamps
have been issued during the year 1898
to stretch from New York City, by
way of Europe and Asia, to Bombay,
India, if similarly arranged in one
strip. All other stamps, as to pro-
duction and sales, are of minor i'm
portance, comparatively speaking, but
it Is interesting to know that almost
exactly one mile of one dollar stamps
were manufactured for the demand of
| 1898. OF five dollar stamps the pro-
duC;inn was equivalent to little more
than half a furlong, or about one-fif
teepth of a mile.
| Now, If all the postage stamps print
ed by the United States government in
1898 were placed one on top of another
as neatly as might be without putting
them under pressure, how high do you
suppose the pile of them would be?
There is no use guessing; you would
never get it nearly right, unless you
went to work to calculate it for your
self The $500 100000 stamps of all
denominations printed during the cur
rent year-the statement of course, is
pproXimate-would tower to an eleva-
ton of 81 miles. This is more than
three times the height of the highest
mountain in the world-Mount Ever
est, in the Himalayas. If the same
number of stamps were piled up in the
form of ordinary sheets of 100 each, it
follows that the stack would be over a
fitch of mile high.
During the year 1898 the number oi
special delivery stamps sold was abou
5,250,OOO. 1t is only reasonable to sup
pose that the average journey to the
average special delivery messenger i!
half a mile. Indeed, that is an absurd
under estimate but let it go at that
On this assumption the total distance
Travelled for special delivery in 1895
was about 2,625,O0O miles. That is {
very considerable space to traverse, az
may be realized when it is considered
that a messenger boy, in order to ac.
| complish that total distance, would
have to go about LOO times around
the world, or five times to the moor
| and back.-Derrick.

Mob Breaks Into the Clinton (Ark)
Jail and Puts 10 Death an
Alleged Murderer.

Clinton, Ark, April 1o.--Monday
morning between twelve and two
o'clock was enacted the final scene in
the terrible Patterson tragedy which
took place on December 10, 1897, in
which Hugh Patterson lost his life and
several other members of his family
were seriously wounded. A mob of cit
liens took the law into their own hands
and shot Will Hardin. one of the Patter-
son murderers, TO death i'm the cage at
the county Jail.
Lee Mills, n prominent young man
and once deputy sheriff OF Van Buren,
county, and VIII Hardin were arrested,
charged with the Patterson murder.
Several attempts TO lynch them were
frustrated and an attempt on the part
of their friends To liberate them from
Jail resulted in n guard being killed.
Mills was convicted on Hardin's testi-
mony and he paid the death penalty sew
eral months ago. Hardin was convicted
ut the September term of court and the
case was appealed TO the supreme court,
which granted new trial. At the
March term he was again convicted and
sentenced to hang May 0. No appeal
was taken, but a Communication was
asked of the governor and granted.
When the people learned that execu-
tive clemency had been granted there
was much excitement. About 80 we'll
armed masked men went TO the jailer,
commanded him to go and unlock the
JAIL which he did under cover of a shot
gun. The jailer and night guard were
marched inside the Jail, when one Of
the mob who had acted as spokesman
emptied the contents OF a double-bar-
relied shotgun into Hardin's head. blow
ing il almost entirely away. The mob
then fastened the jailer and guard in
the Jail and left as silently rs they came.
No demonstration OF any sort was made,
and il was some time before the town
knew what had occurred. The coroner
returned n verdict that Hardin came TO
his death by gunshot wounds in the
hands OF unknown parties.
