PROSPERITY IN WEST VIRGINIA.
New Railroads and Extensive Building
Operations.
Baltimore News.

Major Alexander Shaw has returned
from business trip to West Virginia.
Commenting upon the condition of
business in that State, Major Shaw
said: 81 was struck with the eyiden-
ces Of prosperity which are to be seen
on every side. New railroads are be-
ing built in every section of the State
and old companies are extending their
lines in every direction. Building of
every kind is upon an extensive scale.
People who contemplate erecting
buildings no longer worry about the
price. They are willing enough to pay
the advanced prices, if they can secure
prompt delivery. The industries are
booming and will continue busy in
definitely. The mines are in full oper-
alton, but so great is the rush of or
ders that many are behind with deliv-
cries. The croakers are in hiding and
there is welcome relief from hard
times stories, which were so plentiful
a year or SO ago.

On June 30 of last year there were
five widows Of revolutionary soldiers
borne on the pension rolls Of the Gov
eminent. One of these, Nancy Jones,
has just died at Jonesboro, Tenn.
She was about 80 years old, and mar
ried Darling Jones, who fought at
Kings Mountain, S. c., when she was
is and he was over 60 This would
Indicate that Jones was about 20 years
old at the close of the revolution, and
that he married the young girl about
1925. Thus it comes about that the
Government is paying revolutionary
pensions more than l15 years after
the close Of the war. This makes it a
reasonable proposition that we will be
paying pensions on account of the
civil war in the year 1880, and how
much longer no one can venture to
predict, for the sons of veterans will
have their claims no doubt Pitts

It has been a matter Of some sur
prise that the pensions for this year
amounted in the aggregate to less
than the previous year, and that al
though many thousands have been
added to the list OF pensioners, a
still larger number have been carried
away by death, and there were about
1000 fewer pensioners than at the
end of the previous fiscal year.

FORCE OF HABIT.
He Was Used to Standing In Street
Cars and He Grabbed for
the straps.

II was at the Himbish- Mimmikin we'd
ding reception.
The crush was terrible.
People with tender feet uttered half-sup-
pressed groans here and there, and weak
women would have tainted if there had been
any hope that fainting would have done the
least good.
Ever and anon Burbank would make a
frantic grab for something above his head,
and then looked disappointed.
Lambert watched him reach up half a
dozen times, and then edged his way
through the crowd to where his friend
was being jostled about.
just as he got there somebody gave a
lurch somewhere, and the people began
to sway about as they do in crowds where
there are nervous or mischievous persons
who insist on pushing.
burbank was almost carried off his feet,
and he made frantic effort to grasp the
invisible something that he had previously
endeavored to find above his head.
. .Seehere, old man" exclaimed Lambert,
what are you trying to find up there?'
Burbank gave a start, as il he had just
been aroused from trance, looked sheep
ishly at his friend, and then replied:
Its force of habit This crowd makes me
think, every little while. that I'm in a street
car, and, involuntarily, | reach for the strap,
whenever the people begin to lurch. -

CONVENTIONAL DRESS.
liz the Social Season Comfort Ia Sac
riffced ON the Altar of
Fashion.

It is singular development of these
latter days that discomfort is somehow
believed to be an adjunct of high civil
cation. To be comfortable in wide
shoes, low collars, loose gowns and
durable colors and materials is ailowa-
bic in periods of relaxation, as in sum-
mer vacations, but when the work time
begins, and the so-calied social season.
is inaugurated, the raiment must be
g.rded and frightened. Thus the poor,
protesting but stern.y repressed body
passes its most strenuous periods in an
armor which not only lessons its eff
fIciency, but positively hastens its de-
cay and dissolution. The extraordinary
faliacy that in some inscrutab!e wav
bodily comfort and stiff ard g:rded
conventaonality are necessary TO the
preservation of high social anG moral
standards, ought to be s,oughed cif
from our modern code.
Daily work can be far better done
when the body is perfectly comfortable.
