The Pottery Trade.

Reports from pottery districts
throughout the country show a most
gratifying condition of affairs. and the
cry of mo profit" is becoming less au-
dlble as the season advances. says the
China, Glass and Pottery Review East
Liverpool and Trenton concerns have
had their full road force out for some
time, and although 1t has been custo-
mary to shut down during the latter
part Of the summer, It is quite likely
that such a course will be disregnrded
by nearly all the plants in the country.
Everybody seems to have enough or
ders on hand TO insure full working
season, and the demand, besides being
greater than for years, is also conspic-
uOus on account Of Its tendency to IA
vof hlgher-priced goods.
There are several reasons assigned
for this happy state OF affairs. promi-
nent among them being the definite set
Element OF the pottery trust question.
While this subject matter was ferment-
ing the pOtterles were uneasy and un-
certain as to what course to pursue.
The output OF the various plants was
curtailed, and in some Instances opera
lions were almost entirely suspended.
This caused theTmarket to become un-
steady and shifting, and 1t is well that

West Virginia Regiments and Bat
tories to Wheeling Park-Captain
DoVeners Pleasing Address.
Saturday, at Wheeling Park. occurred
the reunion of the First West Virginia
Cavalry, the First, Twelfth and FIJI
teenth West Virginia Infantry. and
Batteries D and H of the First West
Virginia Artillery. The attendance was
fully as large as had been expected,
and a most enjoyable day was spent
ut the beautiful resort east Of the city.
The veterans gathered at I. o. o. F..
hall in the morning, and marched in a
body to the Elm Grove station, headed
by the G. A. R. drum corps.
At the park there was no formal pro-
gramme, and this probably made the
affair the more enjoyable. At noon the
woman's Relief Corps served a most
appetIzlng dinner in the the old restau-
rant building. and later in the day they
served supper.
The general reunion was held at 4
o'clock In the afternoon at the Casino.
On nomination by Mr.. Richard Robert
son, Mr.. Matthew Altmeyer was chosen
chairman Of the meeting. The first
speaker was Prof. F. H. crago, who
made an entertaining speech in the
course of which he referred feelingly
to the death Of Colonel Hawkins. Of the
Tenth Pennsylvania, a veteran Of two
wars. The speaker said he was proud
to state that he had relatives in the
Fighting Tenth" and that he has been
friend Of the dead commander since
boyhood.
Congressman Dovener was the next
speaker and his talk was very well re-
ceived, especially his references to the
reunitlng of north and south as re-
suit of the late unpleasantness between
Spain and the United States. In con-
Guiding, the captain told a story that
was zone on himself" He said that
when he went to San Francisco two
years ago with the Wheeling party that
put the gunboat Wheeling in commits
sion, he met an old comrade Of the
sixties whom he had not seen since the
war. General Walker. Of Virginia, a
member of the rivers and harbors COM
mittee was present at the time, and to
him he introduced his old friend.
by the way" said the captain. 1--WE
both met you some years ago."
"why, captain" responded the ex-
Confederate general. 81 really do not
remember having met you together"
"But. surely you do"
well then, where was IT."
"At the battle of Cedar Creek, in the
Shenandoah, where we put you to rout,
don't you remember2"
OF course the laugh was on the gen
erai, but he turned it quite neatly.
Now. captain, stand up and let me
see IL 1 recognize you"
The captain and his friend stood up.
facing the general, but the latter de-
MED having ever seen them together.
Then, seemingly as an atterthought, he
turned their backs and said in a burst
Of recognition:
'why, did see you there"

DES MONIES, Aug. 15.-This city is full
of Democrats tonight who came from
all parts of the State to attend the Dem
ocratic State convention and hear Will
lam j. Bryan, General j. 3. Weaver and
others speak. Two great meetings were
held this evening, the main one at the
Auditorium, where Hon William j. Bryan
spoke to 5000 people, and the other at the
Tabernacle, where General Weaver spoke
for an hour, until Mr.. Bryan came from
the first meeting.
The Democratic convention meets to-
morrow morning. The friends of the va
rious candidates for the nomination for
Governor have been hard at work all day
and tonight the winner cannot be told.
Cato Sells. who will be temporary chair
man and who will deliver the main con-
vention speech, is the candidate of the
conservative element and Rev. S. H
Bashor of Waterloo the candidate of the
radical silver element. In case the con-
Vention is unable to choose between them
on the first few ballots there is talk of
former Congressman Fred White as a
compromise. The names of M ]. Wade
of Iowa City and Mayor Baker of Daven-
port may also be considered. For Lieu
tenant Governor, b. p. Hoist of Boone
and Ed *. Stall of Mount Pleasant are
mentioned, and Hoist is also mentioned
as candidate for Superintendent of Pub

himself related the incident. He had
just fallen and saw one of the two
men run to his side. One of them said:

fused to allow the wallet to be taken

the pockets completely empty. Luckily
no papers of Importance were in the

letters, including menacing letters re-

as clear evidence of a plot in which

was only one part of the machinery of
