Sir;-Our end in Uncle Sans" service
as the First West Virginia Volunteers is
fast drawing near. Orders, dated jan
uary Sth, at division headquarters, have
been received and we are to prepare to be
mustered out Immediately. We can not
tell how long it will be. but we expect it
to be finished in from three to six weeks
time Collecting the ordnance supplies
and preparing and rectifying the final
papers and preparing the discharges and
closing the company's accounts brings
forth large amount of work that will
take all of the time of those detailed to
do this clerical work. In any event we
expect to be at home by March list. Some
are not going home at all, but are going to
settle here in the South Others are going
to be transferred To- other volunteer reg
iments, and some to the regulars.
There is a move on foot TO get a COM
pany organized to be transferred from
this regiment TO some other regiment in
the regular army 1t would be trans
ferred as a whole. General Wiley said
he would approve the transfer of any SOL
der brought about in the regular cham
nels. When we get mustered out we will
receive one months extra pay and our
transportation allowance to our place of
enlistment Those who entered the SER
vice of Uncle Sam at Charleston get
transportation allowance to there only.
About $50 were enlisted at Wheeling and
will get transportation to that point. a
difference of about 200 or 80 miles. The
principal talk among the boys is how they
will go home. Some want to get there
by the shortest route. Others suggest
that a trip down the Chattahoochee river,
across the Gulf of Mexico to the delta of
the Mississippi river and up the Missis-
sippi and Ohio rivers to their homes would
be nice.
Another route is suggested, that TO go
by rail to Savannah and by steamer to
Baltimore or Washington city and then
home by rail.

here yesterday that a special train would
be run from here to Wheeling. and that

Southern dialect, as inflicted upon
the South by actors and actresses who
chew their words and seem to think
Southern dialect consists in talking
like their mouths were full of hot
mush, have ever been the subject of
unfavorable comment throughout the

TO be typical of the Southland. And
the same can be said of the Southern
negro dialect as it is perpetuated by So

ment is entirely different from any

carried out by superior artists. The
Tenderloin Coon is the title of the
new and original farce comedy, which
consists of two acts. The whole is
splendid in a musical and comedy line,

the most fastidious and satiated of
theatre-goer This company has the
reputation of being above the average
combination in every way, and with
an ensemble far more interesting and
entertaining. They are sure to turn
them away when they appear at the

ties here as we'll as elsewhere. The
company is a strong one, and numbers
some forty people. Among them are
Smart & Williams, Rastus & Banks,

Last evening there was another large
audience at the Grand to see Oliver
Byron and Kate Byron in UPS and
Downs of Life" The story of the play
treats of young and loving husband,
Vivian Ransom, (played by Mr.. Byron)
who has married a young and pretty
girl, who when a school girl had made
a hasty marriage with a notorious
thief but was separated at the altar.
Thinking him dead she married Ran
some whom she loves The villain
turns up and separates the loving pair
who after Vulnerable vicissitudes are
again brought together and the villain
is consigned to prison. The comedy
element is supported by Kate Byron,
as an Irish domestic, masquerading as
Lady Elfrida." Her effort is TO cap
ture Lord Alfonso Mountsteadfast
Smith, but who really turns out to be
a grocers clerk in diguise. They suc'
cessfully fool each other and when the
deceit is discovered the fun is uproar-
ious.

The controversy over the boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana has
been waged for years. It brought the
United States and Great Britain to the
verge of war in 1895, when President
Cleveland sent his famous message to
Congress declaring that this country
would not permit Great Britain to deter
mine the boundary line by using violence
against Venezuela.
Venezuela never recognized the differ
ent boundary lines proposed by Great
Britain, even as demarcations of disputed
territory.
A brief description of the most impor-
tant of the boundary lines follows. The
map shows all the several boundaries and
is an invaluable guide to the proceedings
of the tribunal:
1S14-The British acquired 10000
square miles in Guiana frsR .eAa Dutch.
1836-The British resident minister in
Caracas notified the Venezuelan Govern
ment of the urgency of erecting light
houses and placing buoys in Barima Point
and Boca Grande Of the Orinoco, show
ing these places were acknowledged to be

in Venezuelan territory. In 1890 Barima
Point was claimed by the British.
1840-A man accused Of murder was
taken to trial in Demerara. The lawyer
in charge Of the defense proved that the
crime had been committed in Cano Mo
ruco, and the accused was acquitted by
| the court under the plea that the murder
had been perpetrated in Venezuelan terri
tory. In 1896 Great Britain claimed Cano
Moruco.
1S4O-On account of the boundary posts
planted by Mr.. Schomburgk and which
bore the British flag, the Venezuelan
| Government sent instructions to Mr.. For
tique, it's plenipotentiary minister in Eu-
rope, to demand from the British Gov
eminent the recognition of the integrity
of the territory of Venezuela.
1SS1-Lord Granville proposed a limit
line to DR.. Rojas, minister of Venezuela
at London.
1SS4-Mr. Fortique proposed to Lord
Aberdeen a line to be accepted by both
governments as a final settlement of the
dispute. Other lines were proposed sub
sequently by the Venezuelan Govern
ment through DR.. Julian Viso and DR..
Jose Maria Rojas.
18S6-Lord Rosebery proposed a new
boundary to the Venezuelan minister,
Guzman Blanco.
189O-Lord Salisbury proposed bound
airy which has been called "capricious
line for arbitration"
1S95-The Royal Geographical Society
Of London issued map in which the po-
sition Of Schomburgks line was changed
from it's position on the maps Of 1910 and
later dates.
The extreme Of the claim of the British
is defined in a memorandum sent by Lord
Salisbury in 1890 to Minister Urbaneja-

mary lines not only tracing the min
utes, but even the smaller divisions.
Theoretically it was intended that each
meridian should govern the belt seven
and a half degrees on each side of it;
but there has been slight variation
from this. The local time of those
places at the edge Of the belt will differ
from the standard time by half an hour.
The details Of the system were worked
up by w. r. Allen, secretary of the rail
way time convention. 1t was not until
1883 that the railways took hold in
earnest. In that year 80 per cent Of
them adopted standard time, and now
the United States and the commercial
world operates on that plan. The time
Of the seventy-fifth meridian is called
eastern time, that Of the ninetieth
called central and that Of the one hun
dred and fifth mountain and the one
hundred and twentieth Pacific. The
adoption of standard time made New
York's time four minutes slower than
previously. At the conference Of the
International Gso&etic association held
In Rome in 1883 the question Of cosmo-
politan time was first discussed.

made in two parts. The head is formed
separately, with grooves on the under
side, and can be made of high-gra
steel, while the base, which may be Of
Inferior metal, is made triangular, as
stated, and as shown in the cut. After
the base is laid on the ties the head is
slid in it's place, it's outwardly bent
danges fitting into the grooves of the
railhead.
The advantage of this is in avoiding
the wear and tear at rail joints. An
other feature is that after the head has
become worn on one side it can easily
be taken Off and turned without remov-
Ing the triangular support. 1t is also
stated that the interior Of the rail may
be utilized as a conduit to contain tele-
phone or telegraph wires, thus avoid

the side of the road.

STILL TELLS TIM E.
INDIANA SUN DIAL ERECTED 70
YEARS AGO.
ONLY Town Clock of the Kind In the
Mississippi Valley How the stand
ard Time of To-day Came to Be
Adopted.

New Harmony, Ind, is probably the
one town in the Mississippi valley that
has a sun dial town clock. 1t is proba-
bly, the oldest and most reliable time
piece in the country. 1t has been turn
ing off the minutes and hours and days
since 1921 without over so cents re-
pair. II never runs down, never goes
on a strike and as long as the sun does
business it is reliable. To-day it is
something more than timepiece-it is
curiosity. 1t IS historical-probably
having an edge over any other time
piece in Indiana in this respect. New
Harmony was a colony settlement. The
building on which the dial is placed
was built by the colonists and was
used by them as barracks. 1t was
erected in 1914. There were no rail
roads in those days and as everything
was local there was no need of any
thing but sun time. The whole world
ran on the same schedule then. For
several years the colony operated by
number of sun dials and hour glasses
but this became unsatisfactory and at
last George Rapp, the leader, conceived
the idea of having a town clock.
First of Its Kind.
He was probably the first to endow
any Indiana town with such an ad-
junct. He went to the forest and cut
the solidest black walnut tree he could
find. He finished it down to six-foot
lengths and made facing 6x4 feet A
strip was nailed across the top to throw
off the rain. He then had the colony
blacksmith turn out a piece of steel
