| Special to State Journal.
SPENCER, w. VA, Sept. BOTH
The newly established State in.
stitution located at Spencer, the
Second Hospital for the Insane, is
a magnificent structure, which in
point of architectural beauty and
general appearance compares with
the largest institutions of the kind
in any of the States of the Union
-Four hundred patients are now
receiving attention and treatment
there. There is ample accommo.
dations for five hundred patients
in the Spencer Asylum. The
state has made frequent appropria-
tions, and this money has been ex-
pended most judiciously in max
ing improvements and many addi-
tional conveniences, such as are
necessary for the ever increasing
number of patients.
The grounds surrounding the
different buildings present beau
tiful aspect and resemble most ia
vorably grand, beautiful park.
The artistic and effective work of
the landscape gardener is much in
evidence. Great gardens of pretty
flowers, shrubbery and artistically
laid-oF plats add much to the
beauty of the general surroundings.
A driveway winds around and
through the grounds Proposals
are now being received for the lay
ing of hulf-mile of paving sur
rounding the main building, and
also for the extension of the sys-
tenn of sewerage.
Another big improvement, and
ono much needed and appreciated,
is tho recent building of an ice
plant This plant not only sup
plies the institution with the many
tons of ice needed, but also sup
plies the wants of the people in the
town of Spencer. These people
show hearty appreciation by their
large patronage.
A new electric dynamo is also be-
ing put in. This is the sncond
dyamo, which will be used in emer-
genoy cases. This electric plant is
one of the most complete and per-
foot to be found anywhere.
Acomplete system of water works
is another feature. Sixty thousand
gallons a day is the capacity. The
purest and most wholesome water
is supplied.
A visit to the different wards in
company with the superintendent,
DIR. l.. V. Guthrie, was indeed most
interesting. In every ward and in
every department is plain to be seen
the evidence of most careful and
excellent management.
Seventy-five employees lend their
best efforts and attention in look
ing after the comforts and wants
of the four hundred patients.
DR.. L. V. Guthrie is the present
superintendent and has been since
the Republicans came into power.
Too much praise cannot be given
DR.. Guthrie for the splendid ser.
vice he has given. The high de-
gree of excellence attained by the
able management reflects much
credit and praise for the superin-
tendent. The administration of
DIR. Guthrie and his associates is
most heartily and generally APP
proved. DIR. e. HI. Dodson and
DIR. w. FL. Wilson are assistant
physicians, and b. l.. Black, ESQ,

announcement that our young
friend, Griff Il. Smith, would be a
Democratic candidate for the Leg

says of him:
"Griff is a chip off of the old
block His father has carried a
republican county enough times to
have been county clerk continu-
ously for fifty years, more or less,
and Griff could carry it just as easily
for the Legislature. Put him up by
all means and show what the young

Whore SUCCESS Lies.

Very few people are born with
extraordinary talent. Successful
people generally owe more to per-
sistent effort than natural ability.
1t is better to be born with will
to work than to be born with tall
ent. An earnest purpose is the
way to success in any undertaking.
A boy will more surely make his
way in the world if he has to strug-
gle with difficulties, and the sooner
he learn, that he is not naturally
endowed with talent, the sooner he
goes to work. Chattanooga News.
What shall it profit nation if it

May Be Adjusted at the Annual Con-
ventiom at Philadelphia.
WASHINGTON, March st is gen
orally expected that in the annual
convention of the Daughters of the
Revolution at Philadelphia in April
one of the principal topics of discus
sion will be the proposed consolidation
OF their organization with the Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution. For
several years efforts looking toward
consolidation have been made, but
have always failed. because no mu-
tua1 concessions could be agreed upon.
A plan adopted at the recent con-
vention OF the d. A. R. grants larger
concessions than any heretofore. but.
while some of the most prominent
members Of both societies are willing
to come together on any reasonable
terms, others are still strongly opposed.
Relative to the plan now proposed
the following is an official statement
from the Daughters OF the Revolution:
THE action taken at the recent con-
gress of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution looking to an amalga-
nation of that society with the Daugh-
ters of the Revolution was entirely
voluntary upon the part of the D. A.
r. and not with the sanction or at the
request Of the Daughters of the Revo-
luton. There is no probability of a
surrender by the D. r. society to the
D. A. R."

congress- had, in point of extrava-
gance of appropriations, touched a
limit which would not be reached or,
at least, surpassed by any of it's sue
cessors.
This congress, however, has far ex
ceeded the appalling total of appro-
priations then made and 1t will be re-
membered that the billion dollar con-
gress' was followed by overwhelming
disaster to the Republican party at
the ensuing election.
Confronted with war with Spain,
requiring the imposition of additional
taxation, it is obvious that rigid econ
omy should have been applied in all
other directions to the expenditure Of
public money. The people were willing
to meet all the demands upon the ma
tional treasury made necessary by the
Spanish war, but it is fair to presume
tives, in view of the cheerful dispos1-
ton manifested to meet these added
burdens, to limit the ordinary appro-
priations to the necessities of wise
and economical administration.
'These expectations have not been
realized. The result is an actual de-
ficiency in current revenues amount
ing on the first of this smonth to $780,
159, ,554. so.
This deficiency, as shown by re-
cent conservative estimate by Chair
man Cannon, of the appropriations
committee. will probably reach $685.
100000 on the 30th of June next.
"It is impossible to estimate with
absolute accuracy the treasury de-
ficiency for the coming fiscal year. The
secretary of the treasury, in his an
nual report, made in December last,
estimated 1t at about s31, ,000, 900, but
it Is now apparent that it will not be
less than $100, 100000.

COUNTRY SHAKEN.
Signs of the explosion are evident in
all the suburbs of Toulon and in the
city. Even at st. Jean de Var. five
miles distant, windows were shattered
and doors battered in.
Later reports show that of the seven
sentries four were killed outright and
the others severely injured, the cor
poral being literally scalped and the
scalp overhanging his face like a veil.
A large number of soldiers are now
employed in clearing away the debris.
1t is impossible to ascertain accu-

injured.
Although 1t was a clear night, the ex-
