POCKETS

Thus watching each the other without cease.

The two brave soldiers keep the unsettled
And since tho quarrel was not fought away,
Two nations bear a heavy weight to-day.

Where all is JOY. where grief nor pain haye part
Where liberty drives hatred from the heart
There only can be peace and honor too
When shall the conflict come. and 10 what cnd?
Docs glory or ruin over France imnendY
And which shall fire the first shot of the war!
In vain all Europe seeks for the reply,
But looks with anxious and forcbOdinF eye

his life, and when James Marshall, who was
working into his second sack. assured him that
the game was catching on splendidly and espe-
cially with women. the delighted journalist
plunged recklessly at another pennyworth.

or's Hill and Elm Grove
GIVEN BY THECOMAISSIONERS
Ata Special Meeting Yesterday Amer
noon-An Amendment Inserted in
the Ordinance Which Provides for
y Single Fare Through any Part Of
Of tho Village Of Elm Grove.

Yesterday afternoon a special meeting
of the Ohio county board of commits
sIoners was held for the purpose OF
acting on the ordinance granting to the
wheeling & Elm Grove Railway Com
pany the right to construct and oper-
ate double tracks on the National pike
from the foot of Pryor's hill through
Elm Grove. The ordinance was In
troduced at a former meeting Of the
board. but was laid over for further
consideration at later meeting.
The ordinance was adopted. after 1t
had been amended in two particulars,
first, that the company pave between
It's tracks with fire brick. distance Of
sixteen feet, and that the Shanghai
1T" rail be used; and second( that
citizens Of Elm Grove shall be charged
only single. or ave cent fare, in rid
Ing from any distance in the limits
Of the town of Elm Grove. The idea
is to prevent the charging Of another
fare on transferring from the Elm
Grove cars to those of the Suburban
line, which runs east from Elm Grove
to Trladelphla. In this shape the or
dInance was passed without opposition.
and the company can accept or reject
within the ensuing thirty days.

Waterways. whether natural or arti-
fetal are the great cheapeners of trans
portatlon. The use of public water
way can not be made monopoly. and
there can be no question as to the rela-
tive Cheapness Of water transportation
compared with that by rail. The mere
presence Of the waterways and their
availability for use forces the railroads
to cut freight rates down to n level near
the cost OF water transportation. The
power OF the waterways 10 regulate
freight rates has been amply demon
stratcd in the case Of the Mississippi
river. In connection with the railroads
running from the interior to the sea-
board within the radius OF the rivers
influence. Water competition has kept
frelghts reasonably low In the AEissis-
slppi valley, and where the rivers were
rendered unservlceable for n brief PEE
rlOd. because Of low water or other OBJ
structlons to navigation, freight rates
have promptly risen. II Is because the
people OF the Mississippi valley Hppre-
etate the value ot the rivers as rcgu-
lators OF freight rates that they are
constantly besleglng Congress to I'm
prove the rivers and waterways and
keep open navigation the year round.
Great conventions Of business men are
annually held to urge the improvements
OF the rivers. and the business and ag-
rlcultural classes feel the beneficial re-
suits Of the agitation.--rhe Waterways

NEW YORK, August ia dispatch
to the Times from London says: The
countess Of Warwick announces that
she has not merely been converted
from ToryIsm to Liberalism. but fur
Their has now embraced the Socialist
faith. 1t was not true. her ladyshIp

Liberal meetings, but she acknowledged
that she had changed her Views. II

observed. "I connect myself with no
party, because 1t would do harm to
other matters in which am Interested.
l may have been largely responsible for
my husbands return as conservative
member OF parliament for Colchester
in 1855, but l was quite young then.
For the last ten years, during which
I have taken deep Interest IN education
al and social matters, and since l have
been brought more into contact with
the people. l have become n Liberal,
nay more than that. may now tell
YOU l am a Socialist"

AS Captain and First Baseman for the
WheeIings-other Good Men TO be
Secured by Magnate Hcaly.
Wheeling fans remember Lew Whist
Ter in favorable light as the success
full manager of the Springfield team Of
1905. which finished strong second in
the Interstate race; they also remem-
Der him as the man who robbed Wheel
Ing of the. services OF Maizena, and
woodlock this spring.
But when the fans learn that Mag
nate Healy, the new owner of the
Wheellngs, has signed Whistler as cap
tain and first baseman. they will feel
inclined to forget the occurrence oflast
spring, and will entertain the hope that
Whistler can get as much good work
out OF the few remaining Springtielders
on the present Wheeling team as he
got in 9S. Whistler is a good fielding
tirst-basemau and q hard hitter, and
will no doubt become u favorite with
the local base ball public.
The Wheeling management has made
another ten-strIke by securing Outfield-
err Flournoy from the Mansfield club,
and he Is expected to report at Fort
Wayne to-day. 1t is also expected that
Pitcher Miner, late Of the Lancaster
team of the Atlantic league. Will be
signed to-day, and the management
has lines out for other players whose
names cannot be given now.
"I realize" said Mr.. Healy last night,
that We must give Wheeling u win
ming team, and that is what we are
after. OF course we can't make a good
showing in this years race, but we will
be playing as fast u game as any team
In the league In few days, and that Is
what the public wants"
