PIuekIng Roses White They skate.

The weather conditions which have pro-
duced skating are rather remarkable. For
the past week the temperature remains al
most steadily few degrees below freezing
point, days clear and sunshiny, and the
nights trifie colder. The continued low
temperature has at last frozen still water,
without the usual cold sharp catastrophes
to water pipes, and without seriously dam
aging the rose bushes. Beautiful buds
and half-developed roses are to be found
In many gardens, so it has been possible
for people going out skating to pluck roses
TO wear as they glided over the ice.-[ Port

According to story from London a
wonderful discovery was made on Tuesday
during the extensive excavations that Min
lister Baccolli is conducting in the Roman
forum. To the east of the Rostra Julia,
about the middle of the forum, was found
the celebrated Niger Lspis, or black stone,
marking the spot famous in legend where
Romulus should have been buried. He,
however, tradition says, was translated,
becoming god, Excavations all around
the place will be made.

Mildred Smith In Court.

The Springfield Republican of Tuesday
said; "Miss Smith was arraigned before
Judge Lyford in the police court yesterday
morning, charged with the larceny of a
horse, wagon, harness and robe, the prop
erty of Mary B. Borriso of this city. The
girl said she was guilty of hiring the team,
but she did not hire it for the purpose of
selling it, and pleaded not guilty to the
charge of larceny, Bail was fixed at $500,
and in default of this amount she was
committed to Jail. One of the first things
the girl did after reaching the police station
was to express desire to smoke a cigaret.
She seemed to be penltent in court and
cried after entering her plea.
Mr.. Gebo relates very exciting tale of
the manner in which Sheriff Mcclure of
Brattleboro and himself followed the lat
ter's horse and finally located it. The
horse was found Sunday 10 miles from
Winchester up among the hills. At Win
chester they found a man who had bought
the Gebo horse. He had, however, traded
1t again to a man who had taken it 10
miles further. That distance was ridden
after pair of mustangs. They reached
their destination just in time, for the one
who then had the horse was about TO hitch
1t up and take it still further back into the
mountains. Mr.. Gebo speaks very highly
of the efficiency of Sheriff Mcclure"

A So1dIer,s Tales.

From the Minneapolis (Kan.) Mes senger: During the first engagement while the company was firing at will into the woods ahead, a forlorn water buffalo, the Philippine beast of burden, meandered into the rice field directly in front of the line. The writer imme- diately directed his fire toward the buff falo, with no apparent result. After ward, during a lull in the firing, we shamefully confessed to having wasted our strength in this ignoble manner, and were surprised to learn that every man had done likewise. At all events the beast made good it's escape, for it patiently plodded ahead until the timber swallowed it up. During the charge at Caloocan frenzied pig of diminutive size dashed from beneath a bamboo hut and apparently judging that all the commotion was for his benefit, thought best to retire. As the pig dashed past the writer we gently assisted with shove from the butt of our gun and thought no more of it for some time. Afterward, upon glane- ing to the rear, we saw four or five soldiers in hot pursuit of the same poor little swine. It is laughable, even In times of peace, to watch another man chase a hog, but when men forsake their places, forget the roar of conflict, the hum of bullets, the shouts of the yictors and the u+aiIc If +bo vr,Oupdo1 4o OTTO n
 pie with an eight-pound shoat, the scene becomes ludicrous in the ex- treme. We took the trouble to learn that the pig got away. At Caloocan the rebels had mounted two monstrous muzzle-loading guns captured in for mer time from the Spanish. They at- tempted to fire one of these with dreadful results. The Americans col- lected the remains of twenty rebels killed by the explosion of the gun. The insurgents had not the courage to
 fire the remaining cannon, which was loaded and primed when Caloocan was captured. The natives had loaded the gun with a complete curiosity shop
 The cannon was filled with scissors, knives, coal, pieces of brick, nails, bolts, a thermometer, g horseshoe, a car link. piece of rubber hose, and, to crown it all, large quantity of hoop iron had been driven into the muzzle so tightly that it was necessary to file it before the charge could be drawn. A double dose of powder was found, and also quantity of dynamite. Nc wonder the other cannon exploited

SCARCITY OF PAPER.

The Graphic is having difficulty in keeping itself supplied with print paper. This is not due entirely tc our rapid increase in circulation, but also 10 the scarcity of paper. The Graphic Publishing Co. has stand ing order with St. Louis paper house for print paper. A shipment of this paper has been overdue for several days. An inquiry in regard 10 the same brought forth the fol- lowing reply this morning: We are sending you today ten reans of print, which is all we have in stock at present. This will supply your immediate wants. We hope to be able to ship shortly the balance of vour order, but it seems almost inn possible to get print paper,as all the mills are oyer V whelmed with orders and unable to turn them out prompt lv. We have had orders at the mill for over two months that are still unified and we can get no satisfae- tion from them. If you will let us know how long this ten reams will run you we will keep you supplied as best we can.'

BETTER PRICE FOR COTTON.
The New Roundlap Bale Worth $2,OO
 More to the Mill.

Mir. T. W.

Pratt has made a thorough investigation of the Roundlap bale in his mill, and recently published letter, in which he said that cotton in tEis form was worth S2.00 a bale more to his mill than square-baIe cotton. Recently he telegraphed as follows:
 After two years experience with the Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Company as manufactur- CT, can positively state that my experience is that it can be sampled equally as well as the square bale; that it saves s per cent in waste; that it unwinds to the core perfect ly, and saves much labor in the opening-room.

GOVERNOR DEYINE.
Writes to His Friend of the
New Dominion

An Old Time Popular Student Who is
now Goyernor Of Rapidly Grow
ing Western Stafe-He Sends Re-
CARDS to the Friends OF His Early
Days In Morgantown.
About 20 years ago there was a
Wheeling boy in the University who
gave promise of making his mark in
the world. He was jolly, yet indus
trious and stood well as student.
He was quite athletic also and fine
ball player He was genial and
made many acquaintance and was
deseryedly popular. Soon after
graduating he went to North Dako-
ia. In a few years he was elected
Superintendent Of Schools for that
state and has steadily risen until
he now occupies the Governors
chair. He still has many warm
friends in Morgantown among them
being the owner of the New DoMIN-
ION Yesterday we received a pri-
yate letter from him and take the
liberty to quote part of it for the
benefit of his old friends many of
whom will he pleased TO see it. From
this we can infer that he has still
higher ambition and we will watch
his career with interest. Following
are the extracts TO which we refer:
Il have not forgotten theold days;
glad old days back there on the
banks o. the Monongahela and it
would be the greatest possible re-
greet to me il in any way or for any
thing you would think the boy you
used to know back there had changed
in the slightest. Then you knew me
as very glad, free student at the
old "U' and living the life of the ev-
eryday student, standing on the
corner at McGrew's; watching for
my mail at the postofiice, when Mr..
Dering handed it out; buying cigar
cites at Charley Hayes's and won
dering il at the next examination |
would make that necessary so per
cent No. have not forgotten
place. incident or individual and
certainly have not forgotten you.
Il wish you would remember me
To Stewart aud others who may be
there in the old town. ! have not
forgotten any OF the boys and feel
they have not forgotten me.
eve are busy preparing the Mes
sage far the forthcoming session. /
shall bring it up to the needs of the
present day, and discuss state ques-
tions from the standpoint of the
latest and best ideas OF nineteenth
century craftsmanship. | am going
ito send youa copr when it is printed
and in that Nnii will catch the trend
of my thought and my hopes, so far
as public affairs are concerned, and,
as YOU read between the lines, |
hope YOU will be able to see that
that Wild, happy, happy, and yet
honest, earnest student, has not
changed in nature, only sees little
farther and feels little deeper and
has hopes that are "a little higher
than when with you at old Morgan
town in Years gone by.
Yours truly,
