FORREST w. BROWN,
CLEoN MOORE,
JOSEPH TRAPNELL,
GEORGE BAYLOR,
A w MCDONALD.


After the reading of the resolutions the
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Forrest w.
Brown, read an able memoir on the life and
character of the deceased. He was followed
by eulogistic remarks by Mr.. Cleon Moore,
Capt. George Baylor, Judge D. B. Lucas,
Mr.. George NJ. Beltzhoover, Mr.. Joseph Trap
nell, Maj. A. w. Mcdonald, Messrs. J. NJ.
Mason, Sr., T. G. Green, Frank Reckwith
and J f. Engle. All of the short addresses
were feeling, and many of them beautiful
tributes to the memory of the distinguished
lawyer, chivalrous gentleman, and noble
hearted friend, whom so many loved and all
respected and admired. We never before
attended such memorial meeting. 1t was
as if members of large and devoted family
had met to exchange condolences and sym
pathy,in personal bereavement and aftiiction
and with moistened eyes, quivering lips and
choked utterances, laid their flowers upon a
closed grave, while. in memory, they again
traversed the paths so often trod in the be-
loved companionship of one departed. Such
beautiful tributes were not without inspira-
ton, for the life memoriallzed was as an
open book, read with equal pleasure by
| friend acquaintance or stranger. a remark
able feature was also obvious, in that moth
ing was said in exaltation of the life and
character of Mr.. Travers, after death, that
had not been uttered while he was still
| living.

While Wade Jones and Henry Patter-
son were quietly working together in the
quarries at Kearneysville Monday morn
ing, Patterson, from some cause unknown
tried the strength of his pick in the head
of Jones. After Jones regained con-
seriousness, he concluded that they might
as well die together and retaliated with
a crowbar on Patterson's head. Both
men were in critical condition, but
Jones has since sufficiently recovered
to leave for parts unknown.-Shep. Ind.

The Indian and Water.

The American Indian, be his tribe
what it may, has no great fondness for
water taken internally, and no use at
all for it as an external application.
Ono or two quarts of water will carry
a family through day, and even in
the arid regions of New Mexico and
Arizona, where the atmosphere takes
up moisture from the body before 1t
reaches the surface of the skin, the
per capita of water used is small. Per-
haps the scarcity of that fluid has
something to do with the wonderful
economy in its use which prevails, for
it is almost never applied to the body,
with the single exception that no In
dian will lose an opportunity to wash
his long, glossy black hair. Of their
hair they are as proud as any woman,
and devote much time and attention
to it's proper care, even sacrificing a
small quantity Of the precious water
now and then for that purpose. Two
quarts, with the bruised roots OF the
yucca, or soap weed, are all that is
necessary for this purpose. As might
be expected under these conditions
the tribes are periodically visited by
dreadful epidemics of SMALLPOX, which
often decimate them.-New York Post.

Josephine and Napoleon's Son.

\ Apropos of the French Napoleonic
drama now being played at the Nou.
veau Theatre, and entitled "Le Roi
de Rome, IAN interesting communlca.
ton to the Gaulois states that Joseph
inc only once saw Napoleon's boy. It
had long been her ardent wish to set
eyes on him, and at length Napoleon
himself took the child, then two years
old, to Malmaison. The little fellow
took great fancy to Josephine, and
said: 81 love you; you are good. You
must come back to Paris with US, and
live at the Tuileries." The Emperor
is said to have been much moved by
the interview, and hastily terminated
it, saying: eve must 60, my boy
wish the lady goodby." - London
Chronicle,
