SENECA GLASS COMPANY.
Manufacturers of Fine Lead Blown
Bar and Table Glassware, Etc.


If 'in the bright lexicon of youth
there is no such word as fall that
fact has been fully eXemplified by the
rapid and remarkable growth of the
Seneca Glass Company, an industry
that was sustained in its uncertain in
fancy solely by the perseverance and
untiring energy OF the men who had
its interests at heart. The results
show that the efforts of the few de-
termined promoters have been crowned
with a success far beyond their fond
est dreams, and they are now enjoying
the well-earned reward in a business,
which, for extent, the amount of cap
ital invested, the number of individu-
ais engaged and its constantly increas-
ing revenues is probably unexcelled by
any other institution of its kind in
this part of the country. The COM
pany occupies one of the finest plants
in the country, distinction rejecting
much credit upon Morgantown. The
buildings and plant are located in
the beautiful village of Seneca, on the
line of the B. & o. railroad, with
river landing, side tracks and yard
conveniences. Gas is utilized for fuel
and the plant is equipped with the
most recent improved machinery and
devices. In fact, all facilities are
now at hand for turning out the goods
of this institution as rapidly as mod
ernized improvements in the art will
permit. At present about 400 hands
are employed and they are kept busy
day and night turning out the product

New York, August 2a-The Iron Age in its weekly review says today:
 "rhe excitement in the iron market is growing and Is spreading. very large tonnage of pig iron is being placed for 1900 delivery at advancing prices.
 "The bulk of the sales are for the first six months, but number of important orders have been placed for delivery far into tna second half of 1900. the southern
 furnaces leading in these transactions. They have even placed some round lots of gray forge In Pittsburg.
 'It Is fact which does not augur well for the supply of pig iron for the central west for the spring of 1900 that number of the lake mining companies are even now announcing to their customers that their allotments of ore will have to be cut down from 10 to 20 per cent.

OF HELP TO DREYFUS
Labori's Private Secretary Comes to
 America for Information

St. Louis August 24.-A special to the Post-Dispatch from Seattle, Wash., says:
 M. Leon Bureau. the private secretary of M. Labori, the leading counsel for Dreyfus, who has been in Seattle visiting the French vice-consul, Dr. Monod has left for Paris. In an interview M. Bureau admitted for the first time that his trip to the north west was for the purpose of securing infor- nation of great value to Dreyfus. He has obtained it and this explains his desire to reach home without loss of time.
 'I have been to the great Salve Lake, in the northwest territory" said M. Bureau" after information connected with the Drey- fus case. I hope to reach Paris in time to hand it over to Labori before the case closes. but even if I do not it will still be of value I am unable to state the exact nature of the information I obtained for you know we must guard against every contingent in this case, future as well as present.
 'The impression that there was a con- spracy among the high army officers against Dreyfus prior to the time he was condemned is not in conformity with our belief or contention. It is true that the proceedings by which he was degraded were illegal but we do not think that any deep-dyed conspiracy has been matched against him. It was case of an innocent man being prosecuted while the real crimi- nal was in the background"

WAR WILL LAST
 LONG TIME YET
 
  People in Manila Believe HoStil- itieS Have Just Begun. RAINS AGAINST AMERICANS Leaders of the Insurrection are Plenti- fully Supplied With Money-In- coming Ships Must Pay Tri-
 butes to Aguinaldo.

Manila, July g, via. San Francisco, Cal, August 24.-In Manila talk of the ending of the war deals no longer with weeks, but with months, even years.
 Among the mass of people here military men and foreign residents, there is but one opinion. The whole effort of the insurgents for three months was to hold off the Amer jeans until their ally the rains came In this they have been as successful as they could have hoped. Unless affairs take some unforeseen turn the Filipinos will re- sume the war this fall with fresh spirit and a replenished stock of arms and am- intuition. One ship load of arms, 1t is learned on good authority, has reached them within this week.
 Of money, the leaders of the instruction have no lack. They control the resources of a large and exceedingly rich country, and even though no crops were harvested for several years. they could still obtain enough cash and supplies by impressing to their use the treasures of the church and store house of farmers and manufacturers and funds of private individuals, a system of levy which they have long enforced with considerable success. All the ships coming and going in the ports recently opened to trade pay heavy tribute to the insurgents.
 Much of the profits of this informal sort of government are supposed to go into the pockets of the leaders, excepting Aguin- aldo who is generally acquitted of enrich- ing himself by the present war, but when the public Urea sury becomes empty the politicians who are exploiting Aguinaldo may. if they see a possibility of success, consider the war a good private invest ment.

JUSTICE CHAMBERS
 IN BIRMINGHAM Makes Some Observations on
 State Politics. JOHNSTON IS INVINcIBLE
Alabamian Thinks the United states Should Retain All Its Newly Acquired Territory in
 the Pacific

Chief Justice Chambers has been in Ala bama long enough to discuss state politics. He believes that Governor Johnston holds the present political destiny of the state in the palm of his hand and declares that Johnston can get a third term if he wants it.
 According to the king maker of Samoa the present manipulator of gubernatorial affairs is shrewd-very shrewd in the mys- teries of politics.
 The chief justice arrived in the city yes- terday and took quarters at the Morris. He will return to Montgomery today. and some time next week he will go to Wasn- ington to submit to President Mckinley his report on Samoan affairs. As to the con tents of this report he must remain silent.
 The chief justice does not look the man who would decapitate a king and install another with the sang froid recently dis played in the Samoan muddle. He is pos sibly near 60 years of age, but ne could pass for 45. He has kindly face, and yet learned countenance.
 MT. Chambers is still the chief justice of Samoa, and is in this country on four months leave of absence.
 Conditions Peaceful
 "At present conditions in Samoa are peaceful" said he, but there is no tell ing when there will be an outbreak until the status of the country is definitely de- cided.',
 The chief justice expressed the conviction. that in case the proposition to partition the islands went through America would get already what land it has a clear title to. and that the portions going to England and Germany would be very troublesome.
 MT. Chambers is an expansionist. He believes that we should retain all the ter ritory we have acquired in the Pacific.
 ''It seems queer to me-" said he. that the south, especially is not in favor of hold ing on to everything we have in the Pa cific. With the Nicaragua canal and the growing cotton, lumber and iron business, the south has an advantageous opening in the markets of the Philippines and Samoa. The east has the trade with Europe. The south has the sugar. tea and spice trade of the Pacific South American countries. The only difficulty that these buyers are apt to trade where their credit balances are best. If we haven't got the territory we will scarcely have this advantage
 An Ugly Weapon
 Among the many curios the chief justice has brought from Samoa is an ugly head knife presented to him by Chief Muliago, who resigned an office as deputy marshal to go to war. Muliago very anxious to know from the chief justice if he would lose his job, but as matters turned out he won for Mataafa and was turned down.
 The head-knife was presented by Muliago with assurances that it had severed the heads from the bodies of many warriors The weapon is used in battle and is a very dangerous instrument.

Another Protest

 ''I used to have great many theories about the way affairs ought to be conduct ed" said the young man from Kansas.
 .There is no denying it.
 ''Well, I give up. l don't go so far ts to pressed. But I unhesitatingly confess that I don't know how it's to be done.'
 "You had any number of schemes
 "Yes. That was before I realized what an insidious and peryasive institution @ monopoly Is. There Is no use trying to es- cape the terrible influence One man may break into Utopia and by his heartless trickery upset the entire plan. I am proud of my state, but I must say one of the meanest men ever met lived in Kansas" :"
 "Politician?"
 .No, sir He mingles among the guile- less and unsuspecting. Were you ever at a husking bee?'
 "Neyer."
 "Them you don't know the custom which gives the man who finds red ear the right tc kiss the prettiest girl. This man gave a huskng bee and he sat up nights with a lantern for days beforehand going over the crop and peeling down the huSzs to find red ears When the bee happened he had all the capital in corner and he smiled sardonically while the rest of of us toiled on hour after hour amid gathering disap- pointments. in pursuit of a delusive hope. while he was apparently having all the luck I tell you, sir, there is more finan- ciering ability in Kansas than you ever gave the state credit for"

 M. Labori, however, called the deputy back. He wanted to examine several of De Grandemaison's statements, but Colonel Jouaust refused to allow the questions to be put, at which the counsel became tre- mendously indignant, and insisted upon his right to do so, and a warm altercation en- sued between the president of the court and counsel The former, however. main tained his decision, which was indisputably unfair to Dreyfus, and M. Labori sat down, gagged and boiling over with indignation. The correspondent of the Associated Press saw Mme. Labori this evening, and conversed with her regarding her hus- bands condition. She said he was pro- gressing rapidly. though still suffering con- siderable pain. "The way he Is recover ing she exclaimed, "seems to me most miraculous

Carrier pigeons in War

From the Manila Freedom, June II.
 It is a fact not widely known that right here in Manila is a complete carrier-pigeon service These birds are in the possession of Messrs. McCutcheon and Bass, who rep resent the Chicago Record and Harper 8 Weekly here The birds are taken to the front by these gentlemen, and any news of sufficient importance to be cabled is writ ten on tissue paper, wrapped in oil silk and tied to the leg of the bird, which is then liberated and speedily wings its way to Manila where it Is received and reiiev- ed of it's message that is soon on its way over the cable.
 These birds have been used several times by the military authorities when there was urgent need of quick communication with Manila.
 The enterprise of a large paper Is shown in this and various other ways, and one who has not been connected with a large paper knows nothing of the trouble and expense taken to serve the news to it's readers red hot.

 temporary chairman, and Judge W. N Burt, secretary. Later the temporary or ganization was made permanent.
 Senator Boykin presented the foliowin; resolution, which was adopted by unani nous vote;
 The Resolution Adopted
 We believe that men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and pursuit of hap piness. That to secure these rights gov ernments are instituted among men, de- irving their just powers from the con- sent of the governed. That Thomas Jefferson, the greatest exponent of con- stitutional government. the founder of the democratic creed, was right when he said: 'The leading essential princi- pies of government are equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political: peace. commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none; the support of the state govern- ments in all their rights, as the most competent administra ton of our domes- tic concerns and the surest bulwarks against dnti-republican tendencies; the preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigor as the sheeet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous care of the rights of election by the people-a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are locked by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unpro- vided; absolute acquiescence in the de- cision of the majority. the vital princf- ples of republics, from which there Is no appeal but to force-the vital princi- pie and immediate parent of despotism; a we'll disciplined militia. our best re- liance in peace and for the first mo- ments of war, till regulars may relieve them; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority: economy in the public expense, that labor may be light ly burdened: the honest payment of our debts and the sacred preservation of the public faith; the diffusion of infor- nation and the arraignment of all abuses at the public bar of reason; free- dom of religion. freedom of the press. and freedom of persons under the pro- lection of the haheas corpus, and trials by juries impartiaily selected" In the language of Mir. Jefferson: "These prin- ciples form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation"
 Believing, as we do, that the platform adopted by the last national convention of democrats assembled at Chicago em- bodies the principles 6nunciated above, and which principles form the bedrock of democratic faith, we declare for the rsaffirmation of that platform by the next national convention of democrats. We agree with MT. Jefferson when he said, "We are firmly convinced and we act on that conviction, that with na- tons as with individuals our interest
