events separated by a period of eighty
four wears, affecting the life of the repub-
lie and of awful import to mankind, took
place on the soil OF virginia Both were
narticipated In by Virglnians and both
mark ed mighty epochs in the history Of the
nation The one was at Orktown In liSl
when CORVALLIS surrendered to Washing
ton, which was the beginning OF the END OF
the war with Great Britain and the dawn
ms, of independence and union. The great
Virginian, sage and patriot, lllustrlous com
mander and wise statesman, installed the
republic in the family OF nations. II mas
Withstood every shock in war or peace
from without or within, experiencing its
grayest crisis in the civil war. The other,
at AppOmattoX, was the conclusion OF that
crisis and the beginning OF unlhcation,
now happily full and compete, resting in
the good will and fraternai affection of one
toward another of all the people. Washing
tons terms of peace with CORVALLIS Sc
cured the ultimate union OF the colonies
those of Grant with Lee the perpetual union
of the states. Both events were mighty
gains for the human family and proud
record for nation of freemen. Those We're
triumphs in which we al have a share;
both are common heritage. The one made
the nation possible, the other made the ma
ton imperishable.
Now no Earring note mars the harmony of
the Union The seed of discord has no sower
and no soil upon which to live The pur-
vevor of hate, if there be one left, is with

kinde the flame of passion and prejudice
is rarely heard and no longer needed in
any part OF our beloved country.

EELs IN CAPTIVITY.
Fat and Appear TO Got Along
Very Well,

Eels appear to be pretty hardy in
captivity. There are in q tank at the
aquarium number of cells that have
thrived and grown fat there, although
they must there content themselves
with a gravel bottom instead of one
of mud, which they would seek in
nature, says the New York Sun. The
eel in captivity islrather susceptible TO
fungus, but the disease responds readi-
ly TO treatment, and the eel never loses
its appetite. All the cells in this tank
have increased materially in size and
weight there. The eel that has bee
in the tank thepongesetime came from
Cold Spring Harbor and has now been
in the tank about three years. One of
the eels was caught about n year and
half ago right in theaquarium; taken
from the valve OF pump which had
become choked up. The eel was cot

Chicago Woman's Hands Bring Her
AbOnt $4,000 YenrIy-she
Is a 1Iasseuse.

Half the world is as ignorant of how
the other half makes its money as of
how il lives. There is n Chicago wom-
an, for instance, who earns with her
hands yearly sums that would make
the average brain worker envious. She
does not print, nor write, nor design,
nor make dresses, nor do any of the
things that one usually picks out as
woman's work. She earns all this
money by giving massage to women.
She is not in any way an impressive
woman. She is of medium size and mid
die age. She gives one the idea of be-
ing in perfect health and of being kind
ly and sympathetic. Otherwise there
is nothing noticeable about her. But
her patrons consider her a wonderful
woman.

FLOWERS FOR OLD STAMPS.
How the xvemen of 81. Marks Epis-

Altar Decorations.

One church congregation in Chicago
collects $4,000 Cancelled postage stamps
every week, and ] 300, 900 Ia a year. This
is st. Marks Episcopal church, corner
Cottage Grove avenue and Thirty-siXth
street These stamps are scld TO a flor
ist for eight cents a thousand. and in re-
turn he furnishes flowers for the altar
every Sunday. For long time the com
mittee of ladies in charge of the church
decoration were dismayed at the scant
appropriation for the purchase of flow
ers. At last one Of them hit upon the
plan of selling old postage stamps. En-
thusiasm was communicated to the
Sunday school pupils. They visited Of
fees of vestrymen and prominent
church members downtown and got
them 10 save the postage stamps on
their correspondence. Ladies OF the
church began TO carry on n correspond
ence with long-neglected friends for
the sake of accumulating cancelled
postage stamps, and the habit is now
fixed, says the Inter Ocean.
"Why, I'd as soon think of throw
ing away car fare as 20 waste old post
age stamps" said one.
The stamps at first were counted, but
now an arrangement has been made
with the florist to take them by weight.
It is said that they are purchased by
foreign paper mills. Owing TO the fine
quality of the material used by Uncle
Sam for stamps they make over into an
excellent brand of paper.

Ohio's Finances.

When Samuel B. Campbell leaves
the Office of state treasurer of Ohio in
January next there will be more mon
ey in the vaults than at any time with
in the past 20 years. The report of Mr..
Campbell for the fiscal years just end
ed shows there is now in the general
revenue fund $1,O33, ,632.95. This is
more than twice as much as has been
to the credit of this fund at any time
for 20 years, except last year, when it
was $596,O26.
Through the successful management
of state affairs by the Republican
party the financial condition of Ohio is
first-class The state is practically out
of debt, and the treasury is ready to
meet all demands made upon it. This
is great record for great state,
and is proof that it is well governed.

campaign. In the language of the

keepers who are not desirous of keep

Sunday, but have been compelled to do
so because few of their competitors
have persisted in the practice and
they were forced to follow suit or lose
trade.
Many of the business men express
the greatest willingness to comply
with the order and are in hopes that it
will be strictly enforced.

No Football Game.

The o. M. U. team having Cancelled
their date for game with the local
team today, there will be no football
game in this city today. Every effort
has been made by Manager Warrener
to secure a game since o. M. U. cancel
led, but the time was too short and his
efforts have been in vain. There is
considerable dissatisfaction expressed
over o. NJ us action, but it probably
could not be helped in this case, as the
team was crippled up and not in shape
for a game.
Next Thursday the game between
Marietta and Miami is promised and il
tLere is no failure on Miami's part, it
will be a good game. The local team
is getting plenty of time for rest and
practice and will no doubt be in splen-
did shape by next Thursday
