glorious morning sun

the 'jocund day" begun;
You may sing In words poetic OF the rosy
robe of morn,
Flashing golden CLEANS of glory at tie
breaking Of the dawn;
But to me there's nothing sweeter. or more
beautifully perhaps
Than the Visions that | cherish In my early
morning maps
You may speak of how the dewdrops glis-
ten ON the morning rose.
How the very breath OF nature breat4les
with perfume as 1t blows;
How there's music In the humming OF the
beetles and the bees,
And the whispering of angels in the rust.

But I'm sure that all this sweetness Is but
frothy foam and sap
To the comfort that Is gathered from m
early morning nap.
You may tell me of the beauties for many
years have missed
When the mellow rays of sunlight first the
dewdrops softly kissed,
BY not rising with the skylark to salute
with mItn song
All the transendental glorles that to early

You may preach your words of warming
how that they who early rise
Are the ones to whom It's granted to be
wealthy, hale, and wise.
But I've noticed that the poorest are the
soonest sit their work
And the. wisest aud the halest oft these

And when once the drowsy goddess locks

would part with any comfort sooner than

SERIOUS FIRES.
Nearly One Hundred Thousand
Dollars Lost in Washington Coun.
ty, Pa, Yesterday Morning.

Special to the Register.
Washington, Pa, February 12.-This
town and vicinity was visited by four
destructive fires at an early hour Sum
day morning, ana as a result over $780,
600 worth OF property has been con-
sumed. The children's county home
took fire about five O'Clock. and II was
totally destroyed, with loss Of $780,
600. There were siXty-seyen children
in the home at the time, and il was
with difficulty and heroic work on the
part of the managers of the home that
the children were saved. All the chill
dren's clothing and the furnishings Of
the home were destroyed. The fire or
iginated from defective fue
At o'clock the large public school
building was discovered on fire, and it
was totally destroyed. 1t was built in
1854, at a cost Of $4,000. It had lately
been fitted out with new apparatus
The buildings of Washington and jeff
erson college were directly opposite
and were saved with difficulty.
AT Thomas station, twelve miles
from here the store OF Thomas Bros.
was destroyed with a loss of S15, 600
Burglars had entered the building and
having looted it set it on fire either in
tentiOnally or accidentally. There is
no clue TO the perpetTator Of the deeds.
Early in the morning the barns and

FAIRMONT BILL
Has Run Against a Snag in the
House, and Will Probably Not
Pass-Mysterious Suggestion of
Amendments.

| Special to the Register.
Charleston, W. Va, February 12.-
| The prospects for the passage of the
new charter to consolidate the towns
! of Fairmont, West Fairmont and Pala-
! tine are not very bright, at present.
! This is an important local measure and
would make Fairmont one of the large
towns of the State, but it has struck a
snag in the Senate which will probably
prove fatal to it. The people of the
three towns which desire to become one
corporation held meetings and prepared
charter which was approved by the
citizens generally. There were some
differences as to certain provisions
sought to be placed in it, but these
were all settled by compromise. The
charter was sent to Delegates McKin-
ney and Ash, who introduced it in the
House. 1t was promptly passed by that
body, just as it came from the author
tiles of Fairmont. When it reached
the Senate two gentlemen appeared on
the scene, one from Palatine and the
other not a citizen Of either of the
towns affected, and insisted upon
amending it by the insertion of provis-
ions, which had been left out of the
bill by the compromise.
Senator Sturm. it is understood, will
disregard the wishes of the trainers
of the charter. and insist upon these
amendments. In that event Messrs
Mckinney and Ash will ask the House
to non-concur in the amendments, and
at this stage of the session such dis
agreement will prove fatal to the bill
In anticipation of the failure of the
charter, Mr. Mckinney introduced a
bill on Saturday to consolidate Fair
mont and West Fairmont under the
present charter Of the town of Fair
mont, leaving Palatine out, and had
the rules suspended and the new bill
passed TO a second reading. 1t will
probably pass the House on Tuesday
There will be no objection in the
Senate to this bin as it provides for
vote of the people of the two towns
and upon a favorable result of such
votes, the Circuit Court viii consoli-
date them into one town, making prop
er preparations for the payment of the
bonded debt, etc.
Thus a part of the scheme to make
greater Fairmont seems assured.

THE TERRIBLE LESSON

~
those who took an optimistic view pre-
dicted that
THE TERRIBLE LESSON
just administered to the rebels would
settle the question of Filipino indie
pendence in short order But this pre-
diction has not been fulfilled. As a
matter of fact the rebels are now scat
tered throughout the country bush
Whacking, except at MalabOn, where
they are gathered in force Even there
their methods SAVIOR more of guerrilla
than of civilized warfare, every bush,
clump of trees and tree furnishing a
cover for their sharpshooters.
Unfortunately for miles around the
land is studded with bamboo jungle
and open spaces are few and far be
tween. This affords the natives, who
fight better under cover, a distinct adj
vantage. In many places the jungle
is so dense that the eye cannot pene-
trate it, and only by the flashes of their
rifles is the whereabouts of the enemy
indicated
Under such conditions it is remark
able that the American casualties
should be so few. while the
NUMBER OF DEAD NATIVES
found in the brush after every skirmish
testihes to the precision OF our fire
Last week there was not a single day
without fighting, but the Americans
steadily advanced, carrying everything
before them and gradually increasing
their semi-circle, until now it spreads
fan-shaped from four to ten miles
around Manila, the water works being
the most distant point.
1T is now known that the Filipino
loss is fully $500 killed, with wounded
slightly in excess of that number, and
thousands are held prisoners. All this
has been achieved at the cost of 65
Americans killed and PSI wounded.
There are two Americans missing and
unaccOunted for.
No fewer than ten of the native viii
lagos have surrendered or been cap
tured. Several have been destroyed
who harbored men who, frequently dis
guised in female attire, shot from roof
tops at the American troops. Many
rifles and ton of ammunition have
been seized. AS might have been ex-
pected, there has been
LOOTING IN THE OUTSKIRTS, '
but 1t has not been general. and has
been done in direct violation or or
ders.
The only incident that has broken
the quiet Of the day followed the ar
rival OF the German first class cruiser
kaiserin Augusta. When she saluted
Admiral Dewey this afternoon a report
spread rapidly that the American war
ships were bombarding Malabon.
To-day the crowds have visited the
scenes of last weeks fighting. All the
roads from the city were thronged with
vehicles. But beyond burned villages
and the new mounds in the fields. there
was little to be seen. A close inspec-
ton showed that most of the enemy's
dead had remained at their posts to
the last, as the bodies were usually
surrounded by empty cartridges, while
in the trenches wherever there were
dead there was little and often no am
munition
Among the distinguished prisoners
captured in Manila since the outbreak
of hostilities are Captain A. G.. Esca-
milo, Aguinaldo's private secretary.

Capt. R. c. Burkhart, who represents
the Thirteenth Senatorial district, was
a Confederate soldier in the late war,
and a close friend of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee. He was selected by Gen. Lee to
be commander-in-chief of his force of
scouts, and the scouts were personally
chosen by Capt. Burkhart. He was in
many tight places, and rendered in
valuable service to his chief. Senator
Burkhardt has among his possessions
photographs of himself and Gen. Lee,
taken on the same day in 1863 in the
city of Richmond. Gen. Lee then wore
full beard. The two have frequently
met since the war, and nothing could
exceed Senator Burkhardt's admiration
for Lee. He is now a prosperous far
mer, living near Martinsburg, and is
one of the most influential members of
the upper branch of the Legislature.

The first session of the Third House
was held Saturday afternoon. Sena-
tir Kidd was the presiding officer, and
there was no end of fun. Senator Osen-
ton offered a resolution requiring ply
sicians to report to all calls, fixing the
eff,1iuy Tor failure at Imprisonment in
the penitenGgry. This was a sly dig
at Senator Lanham wh Pq f2HHffhhgg Sc ff6eTe
penalties for attorneys who fail to turn
over money to their clients within a
specified time. Senator Lanham was
granted the privilege of speaking upon
the resolution, after the President had
ruled adversely upon the point of order
that Lanham was personally interest
ed. He made a very witty address in
which he stated that he was no longer
doctor, but statesman, and as such
he would support the measure. An
effort was made to deny ex-senator
Hensley the privilege of the floor, on
the grounds that he told the truth three
times upon the streets of Charleston.
Senator Cornwell offered a minority re-
port, stating that the charges were not
sustained There was a discussion en-
livened with great deal of good ma
tured repartee, which was brought to
a close by the tardy appearance of
President Marshall, who Immediately
called the Senate to order.

Shrewd to recognize them, and wise
enough to take advantage Of them. He

every measure of success he has achiev-

ably worth more than million. There
is no better Gubernatorial material in
the Democratic party in West Virginia.
The inference drawn from the state
ment in these dispatches that Major
Bennett and DR.. Taylor, the Delegates
from Cabell county, were disposed to
antagonize a large appropriation for
the Huntington Home for Incurables,
because of being sighted by the COM
mittee on arrangements for the recent
reception at the Home, does those gen.
tlemen an unintentional injustice. This
much is shown in the comments IN q
Huntington paper which re-publisheu
the Register article. Major Bennett
was not present at the reception on ac-
count of the receipt of telegram Civ
ing notification that his brother was
dying. DR.. Taylor received a similar
telegram stating that a near relative
was critically i'll. and under the cir
a purely social function. Both gen.
tlemen take great pride in the Home,
not only because of the good which it
will accomplish, but also on account
of its location. The Home for Incura-
bles has no better friends in the Legis-
lature.
