The National Civil Service Reform
League was little hard on Mr.. Nc
Kinley, when it declared his recent
civil service order to have been "a
long succession Of violations of both
the spirit and the literal terms of
the law and rules" How else could
the poor man throw down the bars
to four or five thousand offices?

Their Last Log

Point Marion Is to Lose the Big Plant
Pretty sson--Iast Log Sawed up on
Wednesday Work on The Cheat Riy-

The work OF the Dewing and Sons
plant at Point Marion is done and
they are ready to turn over the mill to
the new owners. The last log was
sawed on Wednesday and the mill is
now shut down. The town is very
sorry to see it 20 as it has been the
chief mainstay of the place but other
plants will take its place.
The Dewies have bought a large
amount of timber land in the southern
part Of this state and they will locate
of it 10 the very near future.
Work was begun on the new Cheat
railroad short distance above Point

force OF men with teams began to

wilderness to Parsons where the con-
nection is made with the West Nir-

The fiBal location had been made on
the lower river last winter and this
is the first work of construction that
has been begun. The indications are
that the construction will not be long
delayed and before very many months
the engines will be running up the
banks OF the rugged Cheat. Many
people have thought that the road
would not be built at all but they can
now see that it is going through.
Its effect on Morgantown will not
be very good as it will divert trade
from the Cheat section down the val
ley but we can afford it by building
the Decker's Creek Railroad.

The Fight is Over and the Battle is won

Morgan District stands on record
by within four votes of 500 of the
total vote in favor of the Decker s
Creek r. R. The fight was hard
one, and fought to the finish, but
save for the natural excitement con-
sequent upon all campaigns Of this
character, there was little unpleas-
antness. Politics were not factor
in this, nor was the opposition of a
kind that was unexpected in the
public discussion OF question of
this nature.
The fight being over and the peo-
pie having spoken, it is now in order
for every citizen of this community
to do his duty as a member of the
community and to join hands with
every other man in an effort to
make the Decker's Greek road prove
what those who have favored the
movement have claimed all along,
that is, that it will be the greatest
wealth producing factor that Nor
gantown could secure at this time.
Further talk of litigation would
be unwise and unpopular. The peo-
pie have spoken; the will Of the peo-
pie is supreme and should be ac-
qiesced in by the most bitter oppo-
nent.
Let all join in one united effort to
push Morgantown into the place
that it deserves, that is. to make it
the most prosperous young city in
the State Of West Virginia, to make
it place where the best young men
who enter the University will be
glad to locate and assist in the pro
gress of this section Of the state,
and when a steady influx Of manu-
factories by reason Of Railroad Goa
nection will help to make the upper
Monongahela Valley, what The lower
part OF the valley is-the greatest
manufacturing section Of the world
t,-day.

SHOT HIMSELF IN
FRONT OF A MIRROR
SUICIDE OF A GRIP VICTIM
Wealthy Lawyer of Brooklyn Re-
lieves Himself of Rad Health
With n Revolver.

New York. Feb. 10.-James H. Reming-
ton, sixty years old, Of 833 Carroll Street,
Brooklyn, a member of the law firm of
Ten Eyek & Remington. 277 Broadway,
shot himself in the right temple at his
home yesterday. He died three hours later
1t is supposed that he was temporarily
irresponsible owing to an attack of grip
from which he had been suffering.
He had been in ill-health for about
year, but had attended to his law practice
until a week ago, when he was attacked
by the grip.
He felt we'll enough to get up and dress
yesterday morning, and spoke OF trying to
go to his office today His brother in law,
Charles N. Howard, who lived with him,
saw him in his room shortly after o.
clock. Mr.. Howard went down stairs and
soon afterward heard the report OF pistol.
He found Mr.. Remington lying on the floor.
with blood flowing from a wound in his
right temple.
Dr. Thomas Wilde, of 121 Seventh Ave-
nue., Brooklyn, was called. He saw at
once that the case was hopeless.
From the position in which the body
lay it is believed that Mr.. Remington put
on his glasses and stood before a small
mirror On the mantlepiece when he shot
himself.
Mr.. Remington had a prejudice against
being treated by physician or taking
medicine, and he had not been regularly
attended during his illness. He was
wealthy, and his business affairs are said
to be in excellent condition. He leaves 4
son and daughter. His firm was known
as the United States Law Association. and
his associates were Sanford X. Ten Eyck
and Irving II. Tiff. They could assign
no cause for the suicide other than illness.

Politics ns n Career

a former United States Senator, Mr..
Dubois. OF Idaho. says he has no aspira-
tions for return to the Chamber or for
political career. He thinks being a Sen
ator is an expensive luxury which he can
not afford. He is not the first to conclude
that the rewards of public life are not
enough for the wear and tear and for its
uncertainties. Very few men can make
as much money in politics, by strictly hon
est methods, as in private life Large
fortunes have been founded on public saIa-
ry. but except in the case of a President
New York City Chamberlain, and perhaps
a Sheriff, there must be outside interests

New Haven. Conn, Feb. 10.-Lieut W.
L. Howard, of the Boston. which was in
the thick of the fighting at the battles OF
Manila in May and August. arrived here
yesterday. He said:
THE United States win not crush out
the rebellion Of the Filipinos in years. We
should use prompt measures in attacking
them fiercely. This will shatter the forces
of the Filipinos and will compel them to
take to the mountains. But even then
guerrilla warfare will be kept up against
the United States for a long time. 1t will
be impossible for the United States to
starve the Filipinos into submission as
the Spaniards tried to do in Cuba. Food
in the Philippines is natural. All a person
has to do is to open his mouth and it is
filled. Under these circumstances the plan
of starving out an enemy is nonsense.
From what / saw of Aguinaldo gained
the opinion that he is thoroughly
treacherous person. ready to sacrifice his
own friends TO gain a point for himself.
He is dlstrusted on every hand. His repu-
tation for selling out his friends is known
everywhere. and half of his troops are
wary of his rule.
The owners OF property on the Islands
are eager for the rule of the United States.
They feel that their persons and belongings
will be safe under American rule"

WALTER CAMPS HOME BURNED.
Fire in the House of the Well
known Football Coach.

New Haven, Conn. Feb. 10.-The home
of Walter Camp, noted football coach and
writer, at Sayin Rock. was destroyed by
fire yesterday afternoon.
In the house were all Mr.. Camps athletic
records. his trophies and the athletic rel
les of years. All of these things. which to
Mr.. Camp were priceless, were destroyed
The loss not only falls upon Mr.. Camp.
but also upon Yale, for Mr. Camps ath-
letic collections contained much that was
intimately connected with the history Of
sport at the university.
Mr.. Camp for two years has lived at Sa-
vim Rock, in house known as the Morgan
cottage. The residence caught fire about
two o'clock yesterday afternoon. The house
was frame structure and stood on the
shore of the sound.
A fierce inshere wind was blowing. and
the flames were famed by it, There is
only bucket brigade at Sayin Rock. and it
took this organization half an hour to turn
out. BY that time the house was in
ashes.
Mrs Camp saved a few pieces of bric-a-
brac. The house was valued at $4,000,
but this does not include Mr.. Camps loss

Debating the Treaty.
From the Boston Herald.1

The public obtain meagre reports of
what is said in the Senate in its Secret SOS
sions of debate on the Treaty than is usual
This does not arise much from difficulty in
obtaining these reports as from lack of interest
in them The rule OF secrecy has been com
pletely circumvented in this instance. The Son.
ate has taken the subject into its open ses-
sions, thus defying the operation of the closed.
doors rule. Senator Hoar, who has been one of
the sticklers for secret sessions was one of the
first to set the example of transferring debate
away from them into the public cognizapce
Since he spoke, if there has been an important
speech made in any other way, the public has
not heard of it. We much inclined to re.
gard Mr. IIoar as more right in his practice
than in his theory here, but tie theorists will
probably continue to bind the Senate down To
its ancient rule. Its members seem to regard
it as one of their privileges to keep what they
say nominally away from the people though #
Is long since they have failed to enforce the
rule effectively that guarantees such an exemp
tion to them.

Ompteda Is Dead.

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
The cable has brought to this shocked
and sorrowing nation the news that Baron
Ompteda. the novelist, is dead at Wiesba-
den. Thousands who have hung upon his
eloquent dialogue, his marvellous delinea-
tions of character. his superb ciimaxes
will mourn with a mournfuiness that
knows no comforter. Ompteda in his par
ticular line had few equals. For years to
come people will say to each other "They
don't write now as Ompteda wrote And
they will add, Story telling seems to have
become lost art since Ompteda died" >"
What good monument suggests itself in
the thought that Ompteda is now reckoned
among the dearest of household names,
A good and great man has gone and all
We have to remember him by is the price
less shelf OF. his majestic works.
Just what these werks are the cab.egram
fails to state.
OF course there were works, because he
was a novelist.

HER MEMORY FROZEN.
Peculiar AmictiOn to q baltimore
Young Lady.


Baltimore, Feb. 10-Miss Belle Barran-
ger, an employe at Schoen's millinery
store, IA West Lexington Street, met with
peculiar affiiction yesterday morning,
which is supposed to have been caused by
the extreme cold. The young lady was
on her way to her place of employment,
coming from her home in northeast Bal
timore on Red line car, when the cars
became tied UP at Gay and Lexington
streets. Desiring to reach the store at the
usual hour, Miss Barranger left the car
and started to walk along Lexington
Street.
From the time she reached Calvert and
Lexington streets until she got to the store
Miss Barranger's memory was a blank, and
when she reached the store her sight was
gone. Some Of the other employees no
ticed her cropping her way in and assisted
her. For over an hour the young lady
was almost epInDlstely blind. On the way
, she had dropped her pocketbook. contain
ing Sc and also lunch basket. After re-
ceiying medical attention Miss Barranger
/ recovered and was entirely well by mid
day. She says it is a mystery to her how
she found her way from Calvert and Lex
ington streets to the store.
