A Blind Mans Calculation.

When Gauss became blind, his only
amusement consisted in making calcu-
lations of a curious and somewhat pc
culiar nature. These sometimes lasted
for days. When more than so years
old, Gauss computed the amount to
which 81 would grow If compounded
annually at per cent interest from
the time of Adam to the present, as
Stunning this to be 5000 years. This. If
in gold, would make cubic mass so
large that it would take a ray Of light
travelling almost 1000 miles second
more than l,000,000,000 years to jour
ney alongside Of it. This mental COM
putation is so startling as to be almost
beyond belief, yet the conclusions of
this eminent mathematician are cor
rect.-St- Louis Globe-Democrat.

As TO ssGlosts. I"

Certain individuals in the larger
cities make paying business of sell
ing bright ideas, expressed either in
writing or Illustrations TO newspapers
and Ma razines. Because of the in
tangible nature Of the commodity
they sell, these enterprising persons
are known as ssghosts." Their bust
ness is, of course legitimate, and they
are often great help to the adver.
tiser.
Yet it Is safe to say that bright
ideas which would scintillate in an
advertisement generate in the mind
of an enterprising and experienced
merchant each day Of his life and if
he have confidence in himself he will
not fail to embody them in business
announcements to be carried to his
patrons through the medium of a
widely read newspaper.

Unlawful to Hunt With Ferrets.

The impression seems to prevail
extensively that the law against hunt
ing rabbits with ferrets has been re-
pealed. The law has not been repeal
ed but is still in force and will be
found in chapter 80, section Is at
page 81 of the Acts Of 1897, as fol-
lows:
1t shall be unlawful for any person
to have in his possession for the pur-
pose Of using, or to use ferret for
the purpose of catching rabbits or
driving them from their burrows.
Any person convicted of an offense
under this section shall be fined not
less than five nor more than twenty
dollars for each offense.

SOME INNOVATIONS
To be Introduced by the B. & o. Rail-
road.

There are many uniformed employees
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
who have spent the better part OF
their lives with the company but very
few people are aware of their length OF
service and devotion to duty that has
made them valued men. Vice presi-
dent and General Manager Under
wood will shortly issue an order, pro-
viding for service stripes for these
men, that the public may know of
their faithfulness and ability.
A gold stripe will mean five years
of service and silver stripe two
years. Some of the Baltimore & Ohio
conductors will be entitled to from
seven to nine gold stripes.
The company will also furnish con-
ductors, brakeman and baggagemen
of all classes, with badges, so that
they may be easily distinguished by
those unfamiliar with the service.

In printing 1t.
1t seems that he had big bundle of
collars and cuffs and shirts at a Chi
nese laundry night or two ago, some
articles In which he needed very much.
The night was the furthest in the
week frem his pay day, and he was
broke Still he had to have clean
linen In order to keep an important en-
gagement.
IL didn't know what to do" he said
In relating the incident. 81 felt sure
that the Chinaman wouldn't extend
credit to me, for 1t is well known
thing that Chinese laundrymen never
trust At last l hit upon a scheme
Going to my room, | bundled up all
the soiled linen | possessed. Hurry
ing around to the laundryman's, pro
duced the bundle.

II picked up the clean linen and, de.
posting the bundle of soled on his
counter. started for the door as If my
life depended on my being half mile

"That's all rightl' ! shouted back
in reply. Just mark it on that bundle
and I'll pay you for both togetherp
Then | was gone. but not before /
caught a glimpse of the laundryman
hastily unwrapping the bundle had
left, as If he was anxious to see wheth-
er or not the contents were worth the
65 cents l had hung him up for. He
was evidently satisfied, for he didn't
yell for the police or make any COM
motion, as was afraid he might do
and had all kinds of freshly launder-
ed collars and cuffs and shirts to wear
that night. And all ON account of a
bit of nerve. "-Philadelphia Inquirer

KING LAND CASE
Decided In Favor of the Plaintiffs by
Virginia Jury.


The case of Henry King, trustee,
against Justice and Others was decid-
ed in the federal court at Abingdon
after trial lasting three weeks.
The jury rendered the verdict in
favor of the plaintiffs. This action
was one Of the most important of its
kind ever brought in the United
States.
1t involved title to 5000, 000
acres of land lying in Virginia and
West Virginia counties and embrace
ing the entire town site of William
SOD, West Virginia. The tract which
was in dispute was granted to Robert
Morris in 1895. He afterwards sold
it to Gen. James Swami, who died in
Paris in 1881.
{ Since that time the land has been
in the hands OF trustees for the credi-
tors of General Swami who died bank
rupt.
The suit decided to-day means the
land in question is the property Of the
defendants of the creditors of the
Swami estate and that hundreds OF
people who have held possession OF
the property for years must surrender
the same.

after discussing the tableware deal
at some length and intimating that

cludes thus:
"The promoters say the combine
will be ready to take charge Of affairs
by October 1st. For a time at least
the present owners will have charge
fof their respective plants.
"The fact that the best plants in
the trade are outside and that there
are more outsiders now than on the
occasion of the forced change of the
scheme twice before, makes it out OF
the question that even If this deal
goes as claimed, it can control the
market or prices.
1.-THE United States Glass Co. is
outside because it demanded $l,700,-
600 cash and SO, 900, 900 stock. There
seems Slight prospect of McKee's be-
ing bought and in addition to these
two concerns are those old standbys,
Duncan's, Heisey's, Dalzell- Gilmore,

and McKee's in the combine deal,
make such strong outside field that
capitalists refuse to touch that deal. >

When the prisoners charged with petty
morning they learned that on account of
the smallpox they might not be sent to the
workhouse.
Mr.. Flynn said a big colored man,
won't you use your influence with the
court and keep me out of the workhouse?"
why should l do that?" the officer asked
him.
You know said the colored man, some
of the prisoners on the farm have got the
smallpox, and, Mr.. Flynn if 1 get that dis
ease I'll die
When Judge Kimball reached court the
question of what to do with the prisoners
puzzled him. He received a letter from In

said:

with impersonating a leather inspector
was last night removed TO the smallpox
hospital by order of the health officer, and
that Ollie Harvey, committed January &C.
1899, for sixty days. was removed to the
suspect camp.
The health officer thinks it would be
wise to hold all prisoners in quarantine, re-
CARELESS of expiration of sentence or re-
lease, as public necessity. Since the
building is presumed to be infected, l trust
that no person will be committed thereto
until it has been declared free from sus-
Judge Kimball showed the letter to
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh and Clerk
Potts, and later the judge concluded he
would not send any prisoners to the work
house. The authorities could provide no
other place of detention for them, and the
only thing the judge could do was to let
them go. There was only short process

when the released prisoners reached the
hallway. The officer did not know of the
courts action, and he had an idea that they
were trying to escape.
Judge Kimball addressing the policemen
in court told them they would have to use
all the leniency possible just now He told
them of the prevalence of smallpox in the
workhouse and explained that the presence
of the disease in the prison was the reason
for his action today.
