To those familiar with the enormous
salaries paid TO the judges of the
higher English courts it may come as
something Of a surprise to learn that
the president in chief Of the French
Cour de Cessation gets only about
$4,000 a year. In no country ave the
United States do judicial salaries reach
in amount to even a third of those
paid in Great Britain. The heavy rise
in judicial salaries in England began
about the middle of the last century,
based on the assumption that the pay
ment should be in ratio with the earn.

All Hope of Raising the Charleston
Is Aband0ned.
Washington, Nov. 25.-The following
cablegram was received at the navy
department from the commander Of
the United States naval station at
Cavite, p. l.:
"Charleston wrecked Nov. 2, last
seen Nov. ID, under water from stern
to smokestack. Three unsuccessful
attempts to get near her. Heavy ty-
phoon since. Expect Culgoa with
later news. Officers and crew all
saved and we'll. -Leutz."
The Culgoa is the supply ship which
sailed from Hongkong several days
ago with wreckers and divers to ex-
anime the Charleston. She has I'M
doubtedly arrived at the scene of the
wreck by this time. The officers Of
the navy department look upon this
report from Capt. Leutz as dismissing
the last hope of saving the Charleston.

MOST SUCCESSFUL
Was the Summer Season at Mountain
Lake Park. Md. This Summer
Closed Tuesday MANY West Vir-
ginians Summered There.

Grand Army Day last Tuesday at
Mountain Lake Park, Nd, brought to
close the most successful Chautauqua
session since the ChautauQua was instl-
tuted seventeen years ago.
An excellent and interesting pro-
gramme was conducted from August
to August 80 inclusive. At times the
present good sized Auditorium could
not accommodate the large crowds IN
attendance, so it has become necessary
to build much larger one. AT meet
ing of the board of trustees 1t was de-
cided that larger building was neces-
sary and work will be started on 1t at
once in order to have it completed for
next years Chautauqua. The pro-
gramme for the past session consisted
of lectures readings, concerts and en-
tertainments. Tuesdays programme
was a very interesting one. During the
day there were lectures by Senator j..
B. Foraker, of Ohio; Governor Lown-
des, of Maryland; Bishop Charles H.
Fowler, of Buffalo, n. Y, and John De
Witt Miller, of Philadelphia, Pa. The
magnificent display of fireworks on the
lake after the grand closing concert at
the Auditorium in the evening was wit
messed by over five thousand excursion
lists, the largest crowd ever attracted
to the park.
The military band at the Chautauqua
during the past session was the Jr. o.
u. A. NJ brass band of Bellaire, Ohio,
consisting of seventeen pieces, in charge
of Director Stephens. AS in prior years
the band gave the best of satisfaction
and in all probability will be engaged
for next season.
Mountain Lake Park, during the past
summer season, as a popular summer
resort eclipsed all previous records. OF
the large number of cottages only one
was unoccupied during the season, and
the numerous hotels were for the most
part crowded The Park is very popu-
lar with West Virginians, the Noun
tain State being better represented
there than any other in the union. A
large number of Wheeling people spent
the heated term in that dlightful resort,
and all Indications point to the fact
that larger number will summer there
next year.
