Relative of Blennerhassett.

G. H. Cheyney, of Philadelphia, was
guest at the Blennerhassett today for
dinner. He stopped off here between
trains to see Parkersburg and its peo-
pie, for he is more than ordinarily in
terested in this city and its people, and
more particularly in Blennerhassett
island.
His wife is a descendant of the
Blennerhassett family and the Blen-
nerhassetts who formerly lived on the
island below this city were near rela-
lives.
.4r. Cheyney had with him an old
solid gold locKet which contained a
picture of the old homestead on Blen-
nerhassett island, also of Mrs. Blen-
rhasseUt.-Sentinel.

The Fair.

The management OF the Washington
Comfy Fair Association are busy as
bees at present getting things in order
for a big successful fair next week.
They are making a great effort to
make this fair a record breaker in
point of general success. They are
meeting with much encouragement
among the business men who are
quick to recognize in it a valuable in
stitution to them as promoter of bus
mess.
Beside a fine lot of exhibits, it is
expected to have an excellent program
of races. There are many good horses
here,and there can scarcely be any dis
appointment to them who like to see
a good series of trials OF speed.
The Fair is to be held Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The Real Astor Pedigree.

The ancestral home Of the Astors is
in the little village of Wsldorf, IL
miles southeast Of Mannheim and mid
way between the Rhine and the LOVELY
ing hill forming the northern part of
the Black forest. Their house, which
is still standing, is an unpretentlous
structure of two stories, facing on an
open town square and containing
probably six rooms. To one side is a
small yard, such as frequently adjoin
the houses of the peasants in this part
of Southern Germany. The inhabi-
tants say that the family were butch
ers, neither better nor worse off than
the average of their class. Some Of
the descendants of one of the sisters Of
John JACOB Astor are still livig there,
one of them being engaged in the fur
nlture business. He tells me that al
ly wouldn't mind If his rich cousins in
America should make moderate di-
vision of their horulngs. In the viii
lage square and toward one end near
the old cdurch stands the monument
erected to John Jacob upon the flf-
teentn anniversary of his founding the
home for destitute and infirm old men
and women. The unveiling of this
monument was made an occasion of
great celebration, the Grand Duke OF
Baden being present with a large
number of distinguished officials

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pres
cribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci

Why Accumulate

Col. R. G.. Ingersoll is the author of
the following: And why should we
envy The rich? The Vanderbilts, the
Astors, the Rockefellers never drank
any cooler water than we have. They
never smoked any better cigars They
never ate any lighter biscuits nor any
better potatoes. We know the love of
a wife and child and in some respects
we have the advantage. They fear and
we hope. They are at the top and are
AFRAID of railing. We are close to the
ground and hope to climb. Is a man
to be envied because he has more than
he can use? What is the use of carry
ing hundred canes? What is the use
of having more than you can spend?"

Over burdened
Women.

Many a man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow ir too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
recuperate The womanly organs become
displaced there are debilitating, disagree
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
ton the woman bravely tries to carry her
household load, afraid to take the rest she
needs lest a meal will be late No wonder
she is pale, weak, wretched surly of tenn
per and snappish of tongue. She would
be false to nature il she were anything else.
No persons need help so much as the class
OF whom this woman is the type. And for
such women no help is so sure, so wonder
full, as that given by Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. II restores all the womanly
organs to perfect health. 1t establishes

minutes began to form about the armory.

no disorder and no trouble, and that there
was no occasion for action by the State
authorities; that Judge Toney had not
made any representations to him, the

that there had not been any interference

MASSACHUSETTS VOTE.
Republican Majority Is Upward Of
Sixtv-FiVe Thousand.


BOSTON, Nov THE Republicans
carried Massachusetts to-day by over 65,-
600 votes, eecting w. Murray Crane Gov
ernor. The entire Republican State
ticket was elected by practically the same
plurality as the head of the ticket, and
the Legislature of 1900 will also be Re
publican by the usual large majority,
there being few changes in either branch.
The total vote for Governor, with one
town missing was as follows: w Murray
Crane (R.) ,S46, Robert Treat Paine Jr.
CD 103,S12.
The Senate of 1900 will stand 81 Repub-
licans to Democrats and the House 166
Republicans, 20 Democrats, 2 Socialists
ana Independents. This shows a loss of
two Republican Senators and three Re-
publican Representatives In addition to
the three Republican places the Demo-
Gratis. to-day have also filled two seats
held by Independents last year. The Dem
District elected their candidates for the
first time. The Socialists lost a repre-
sentative in Haverhill. but a member of
that party was chosen from the Fourth
Plymouth District, thereby giving them
the same quota as last year. The Social
lists at Haverhill made up for their loss
by giving their candidate for Governor a
greater vote than that received by the
Democratic nominee. In other parts of
the State the Socialist doctrine was given
some Endorsement
Guilty in carrying the city of Boston
For the past, three years the city
had indorsed the Republican candidate
for Governor, but this year Robert
Treat Paine Jr., the Democratic nominee,
received a plurality of 6196 over w. Muir
ray Crane (R9 Paine's total vote was
1882 and Crane received 1886. Last wear
Wolcott (R.) carried the city by a
plurality. Of 1897 over Bruce CD. These
figures show a loss for Crane from VOL
colts vote of 7179 and a gain for Paine
over Bruce of 914. The decreased Crane
vote is partly due to the fact that he
comes from the western part of the State
and did not have the local popularity that
Wolcott had. The Democrats made every
effort to rally big plurality to strengthen
themselves for the city election . next
month
The expansion question apparently
played little part in the election and
Senator Herbert G. Parsons of Greenfield,
where the question was an issue before
the people, was defeated. Mr. Parsons
ran Independently and was assisted in his
campaign by a number of anti-expansion-
lists from this city.
