his commission if he could net get
active service, but 1T is stated that
he Is to be offered command Of the

cepts this command, it will be an
indication that there is something

because he told story that was

a year ago, in what he supposed to
be the privacy of club room, i'm
New York, Secretary Long and The
administration added nothing to
their popularity. It looks too
much like trucking to the German
government to please the average
American. 1t was unnecessary for
Secretary Hay to have taken the
proper stand in telling the German
Ambassador, when he called at the
State Department 20 make a pro-
test, in the name OF his govern
ment, that Capt. CoghIan had
spoken as an individual at private
gathering Of friends, aud with no
expectation that what he SAID was
TO be published, and that this gov
eminent would take no official
cognizance Of the matter, if the
Navy Department vas to punish
Capt. COghlau. IL looked too
much like Secretary Hay made
bIuf FOR public consumption, and

Ambassador that Capt. Coghlan
would be punished That aoesn t

THAT CELEBRATED RAPE ~ CASE

The case Of the State vs.. Samuel

tention than any case tried during
this term of court. Mrs. Icie
Shackleford charged Samuel Cor

tempting to commit q rape. Hon.
w. X. ID. Dent assisted Prosecuting
Attorney Robinson, and j. Hop
Woods, of Philppi. VS.. Meredith,
OF Fairmont AID g. Z. Guard, Of
Grafton defended the accused. 1t
was a hard fought battle from
start to finish, tine attorneys on
both sides contesting every inch of
ground. During the trial front
seats were at premium and the
sheriff aud deputy were kept busy
keeping the curious ones from
crowding around the bar. Old
bald heads and preachers were con
spicuOus occupants of front seats.
The defense gained a point in cross
examining the prosecuting witness,
wheA the question was asked her
why she didn't scream or call
for help when the accused assaulted
her. She replied by saying: 81
didn't have to-" She also stated
on the witness stand that she had
three eggs in her hand when the
accused assaulted her. NOtwith-
standing the terrible struggle, ac-
cording to Der testimony, the eggs
came out Of the fight all right, not
one broken or cracked. This case
occupied part OF three days Of the
court, and the jury returned a YER

DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT
CAESAR AND NAPOLEON?

Did you know that the two fore
Caesar and Napoleon, were at one
time the victims of insidious nerve
weakness and disease? Caesar was an
epileptic, and the great Napoleon was
the victim of nervous disorder. The
secret of their later wonderful sue
cesses lay in the fact that they used
every effort to be cured of their af-
fiictions. Do you for a moment sup
pose that they could have succeeded
if they had allowed themselves to re
main weakiings, with exhausted
nerves, nervous debility and strength
and energy impaired by disease? So
it is with men of the present day :.
Many young and middle-ag ma n
through over work, indiscretion, ig-
norance, excuses and folly has weak
ened his nerve power and physical
vigor until he feels himself lac liking
manhood's powers to cope with the
world in this struggle for success.
Remain in your present condition of
weakness, and failure in all your I'M
dertakings is inevitable. Follow the
example of Caesar and Napoleon =
get we'll, get back your physical and
nerve strength, powers and energy,
and the fullest measure of success in
the world will be yours. Rememb er
that the strong survive and the weak
are forced to the wall. Success
awaits only him who is strong. aWhat
is the great lesson in this for nerve
weakened and physically exhausted
men? By all means get back your
health and strength, Consult some
great specialist who has made the
weakness and diseases of men a
speciality, like DIR. Greene of 81 Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass, whose sue
cess in the treatment and cure of this
class of diseases with harmless veg
etable remedies, wonderful in their
strengthening and invigorating pow
ers, has made him the most famous
physician in the world. hYou can
consult him without charge and in
perfect confidence, either by calling
or writing him about your case. AS
it costs you nothing to get his coun-
sci and advice, we advise you to write
him at once. He will tell you just
what to do to be cured of your weak
ness. One of his wonderful medi-
cines, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, you know to be of
world wide fame; he has discovered
other no less marvellous medicines
also, whose vitalizing, invigorating
and regcnerating effects will restore
you again to perfect manhood's
strength and powers.

Why Ships Defy Lightning. The
reason why ships are not struck by
lightning is attributed by German
authorities to the general use which
is now made of wire rope for riggin g
purposes, as we'll as to the fact that
the hulls Of ships are usually con-

whole ship forms an excellent and
