MARTINS FERRY.

The latest thing sprung in regard to
the Office of city solicitor was sprung
yesterday by the Republican candidate,
John S. Cochran, who has asked to
have his name withdrawn from the
ticket. This leaves the Republicans in
somewhat of a furry, as they have but
one more day to select candidate to
take Mr.. Cohran's place. He, in his
letter to the chairman of the central
committee, defines to be a candidate
for the office lest he might engender the
i'll feeling of the former solicitor, Ern-
est Smith, over whom the entire trou-
BILE arose, as to whether ne was or was
not entitled to the office. The letter is
as follows:
To the Republican Central Committee,
Martins Ferry, Ohio:
entlemen:-Havirg been regularly
nominated at the Republican primaries
for the Office of city solicitor, 1t seems
my candidacy, in order to subserve a
selfish purpose, is sought to be con-
strued as ininical to the interests OF
Mr.. Ernest G. Smith, who was elected
one year ago. OF course this accusa-
ton is not true; but | should not be
ton with a brother soldier. Neither
Mr.. Smith, nor /, can afford to have
this false issue sprung between us at
the polls, even though the office of
solicitor be illegally held for the next
year by a party usurping the functions
Of the Office and who was so recently
turned down by vote of the people.
AS Mr.. Smith is my friend for whom
have the highest regard, and fearing
my position may be misinterpreted by
his numerous friends, very respect
fully beg leave to hereby withdraw
from the contest. Foregoing are my
only reasons.
For the committee, the numerous
voters who supported me in my nomi
nation, and those who have 50 gener-
ously rendered their support since,
have a heart full of gratitude and shall
ever remember them with deep deVo-
ton. Very respectfully.

as it has not the advantage OF doing so
at it's present location, are making an
effort to secure another. The company
has several good offers from distant
cities, but if given site would no
doubt locate here. 1t would be good
idea for the citizens of the town TO call
a meeting to consider the matter, as e
new industry added to the town would
fully repay them for their trouble.

TIERS.

Interstate base ball clubs cannot at
ford the luxury of several different uni
forms. National League players may
wear a different suit for each day IN
the week. Just now the local manage
ment is bordering over samples OF
cloth furnished by manufacturers.
Messrs. Howell and Lyle are not super
stltious, of courSe-oh dear, no!-Dut all
the same they have rejected one or TWO
color combinations which nave never
figured in championship club. Pop
tells Of half dozen pennant winning
teams in minor base pail leagues that
wore dark blue and white, and partly
because OF this fact, and partly because
it will make a natty combination, the
Wheeling colors will probably be dark
blue and white. If any person had
ever accused a Wheeling stogie OF belng
pleasing to look upon, the uniform
might have been brown.
Since the announcement that StroDel
would move the ball grounds TO La
grange street, ne has been HOODED Win
protests from the fans. They positive
ly insisted that he should not move
Armory park unless another was given
as close to the city. He could not 90
this, so has decided to keep both Ar
mory and Bay View parks where the
team will play this summer. The down
town grounds will cost more than the
Lagrange grounds, and the expense Oh
keeping up two grounds Will be great
er, but Strobel figures that II the peo-
pie want the grounds close to the bus
mess center, it would pay better and
give them better ball. so he reached
an agreement with the owners and Sc
cured another lease-Toledo Blade.
The Interstate managers in session
at Mansfield have adopted scheoule
in sort of way. That is TO say
they accepted the work OF the scheoule
committee, and then turned 1t over 10
President Powers to revise to NJ eA-
nected conditions. This is made neces-
sary by the fact that some folks 90 not
know whether they will be allowed 10
play Sunday bail. The season Is 10
open on May / and will close oeptem-
Der 20. One hundred and tWenty-slX
games are provided by the scnedule'
but this number will be Increased 10
140 if Sunday playing is allowed. Grand
RAPIDS will open the season at DAYTON
and will play it's first game at home
with Fort Wayne on May 6. Fort
Wayne will also play in Grand Rapids
on Memorial Day, and on July Grand
Rapids will play at Fort Wayne. The
venerable, but still sprightly, Jack
Glasscock has at last signed to manage
the Hoosiers, and there should be
hot rivalry between that team and MI.

And There Was an Excess of White Over
Gray Matter.
Dr.. O'Hanlon, coroner's physician,
recently performed an autopsy on the
body of John Chester. 3b years Of age.
S07 Washington street. who was taken
to the Manhattan hospital with q
broken back. and who died the next
day, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. Chester was found uncon-
scious leaning against fence at One
Hundred and Third street and Amster-
dam avenue policeman learned that
Chester had passed the greater part
of Sunday night In saloon discussing
mesmsrism, and that he was expert
mentsd upon. He fell to the floor of
the saloon in the trance and was taken
out by the men and placed against the
fence where he was found. The autop-
sy revealed that the mans brain
weighed only thirty-seven ounces. The
average weight Of the brain, DR.. Han
Ion said, in males, was forty-nine and
a half ounces, and in females forty
four ounces. The maximum was sixty
i've ounces and the minimum thirty
four ounces. In addition to the excess
lively light weight of the brain, there
was an excess of white over gray mat
ter in 1t. This. DR.. O'Hanlon said. In
dicated a lack Of intelligence and leth-
argic mentality, but also was indi-
cative Of strong physical characteris-
tics. 1t was an Indication OF the pre-
ponderance OF the animal qualities
over the mental. Such a man, DR..
OHanlon said, could be mesmerized
easily Chesters death, the doctor de-
clarsd, was due to fracture Of the
spine between the sixth and seventh
cervical vertebrae.

WITH THE MOUNTAIN FOLK.
Glass of People Who habit the Appa-
laohian Mountains.

laonlan MOUNTAINS.
Among the social virtues Of the
mountaineer hospitality has high
place, says William Goodell Frost In
the March Atlantic. This virtue is to
be found in solitary places the world
over. Its two blending motives are
compassion for stranger and curl
oslty to learn whatever news he may
brlng, and both motives are credible.
while we cannot here trace all the So
clal codes of mountain life, it is i'm
portant to note that there are social
codes and moral standards which are
most strictly observed. Herein the
mountain white" shows his genus. 1t
ls MS social standards and his inde-
pendent spirit that prove his worth, or
at least his promise He is not q de-
graded being, although, to tell the
truth, he has not yet been graded up.
Inc poor whites" We're degraded by
actual competition with slave labor.
The mountain whites" had little con-
tact with slavery, and retained that in
dependent spirit which everywhere be-
longs to the owners of land. Mr.. John
FOX, Jr., is responsible for the state
ment that when n man was sent with
a sum of money to relieve distress In
plague-strickcn district in the noun
tains of Kentucky he could find none
who would confess their need, and
rode for days without being able to
execute his commission. The noun
taineer Is not n suppliant for old
clothes. Even when bestowed they
are likely to prove too short In the
sleeves. And this reminds us that
when John Fox gave reading from
his Cumberland tales in Berea the
mountain boys We're ready to mob him.
They had no comprehension of the
nature of fiction. Mr. FoX's stories
were either true or false. If they were
true, then he was no gentleman for
telling all the family affairs of people
who had entertained him with their
best in the mountains. If they were
not true, then, of course, they were
l1belous upon the mountain people.
Such an attitude may remind us of the
general condemnation of fiction by the
unco' guide n generation ago.

Manila, May 2O.-Major General Otis
has declined to recognize the rebels to
the extent of agreeing to an armistice
but he has notified the American com
manders to refrain temporarily from
aggressive action. Thus he is in n po-
sition to resume hostilIties at any time.
This will defeat any subterfuges to
gain time. which would not be the case
If the general agreed to an armistice.
The Filipinos are so deceptive that
the people hesitate to credit with good
faith their latest overtures. But more
attention Is now paid to them than was
paid to their previous advances. The
Fillpinos' commission is acting under
instructions from Aguinaldo and the
Congress. but 1t is possible that If
pence is arranged Generals Luna and
