Sharpers, Presumably From Pittsburg
Sell Brown Paper to at Least
Eight West Virginians
SWindlers Missing.

WHEELING, May 6. "A little over
two weeks ago three gentlemanly-ap-
pearing fellows arrived at the Hotel
Windsor here and registered from
three different cities, under names
probably not their own. They had
plenty OF money, dressed WELL paid
promptly and were extremely urbane.
During their stay quite number of
countrymen called to see them, were
treated royalty and disappeared sud-
denly, sometimes failing to pay the
hotel, which delinQuencies were
always met by one of the three stran-
gers.
To-day gentleman from Grafton,
whose name the police refuse to give,
called at the Windsor, and was soon
with the trio. Later the Grafton
man turned up at City Hall, short
$3.50 which he had paid for green
goods. The strangers had put his
money and the supposed green goods
snto envelopes, made the apparent ex-
change, but the Grafton man, after
waiting an hour and half, found he
had been film TANNED.
The police say they know that eight
men have parted with good money for
brown paper ia week. The opera
tors have been laying the foundation
of the work for three months, presum-
ably from Pittsburg, and are now
cleaning up the harvest. The Graf
ton man is the first to squeal and the
bunco men are out Of town Since
the expose they will probably stay
away

Moundsville Herald.

Charles Stewart, son OF Mr. and
Mrs, Perry Stewart, of this city,
graduated at Baltimore Dental col
lege about three weeks ago and was
expected home soon afterward but
he never came and his friends are
very much alarmed. A telegram
from member of the faculty sheds
no light upon the mystery.
He was steady, sober young man
of exemplary habits in every way
and was in the habit of writing
home both frequently and regularly.
His father is using every means in
his power to locate his son but up to
three o'clock nothing had been
heard that would reveal his where

The Seneca people were seen in re-
gard to the matter and they stated
that they intended going into the
trust If the trust could come to their
terms. They have an option on the
plant and may decide to take up the
price named by the Seneca. 1t will
be sixty days or more however be-
fore this ID, finally decided one way
or the other.
When asked what effect that this
would have on the local situation,
the manager Of Seneca stated that it
could only have good one. He
thought that it would mean another
plant probably as large as the one
already here This place has the
advantage over some of the rest in
cheap fuel and transportation and
we would have the call when il came
to closing down any Of the plants.
AS far as closing down the one here
is concerned there is not the slight
est danger Of that taking place.
The plan has been rhder consider
alton for some time and Rumber of
conferences have been held. In case
all the conflicting interests can be
harmonized the combine will be
formed and the Seneca factory will
be in the trust.
They say that they have every
thing to gain by this plan and moth
ing to lose and that it will be the
best thing that could happen for
both themselves and for the town.

ELIZABETH OF AUSTRIA.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Murdered Empress
tFrom the New York SUI


A recently published article concerning
the late Empress of Austria tells some in
teresting stories of her life which are quite
at variance with the customary descrip-
uons OF her habits. 1t appears that the
sorrow that made her life eccentric in 50
many particulars was due in the first place
to disappointment in her domestic life.
from which she never wholly recovered.
The only real reconciliation that took place
between her and the Emperor lasted for
only very short time. 1t was soon after
her marriage according TO this writer.
that she learned to her enduring misery
that the devotion of husband and the
freedom OF monarch's life were
not always consistent. In spite of the EN-
peror's respectful treatment of and his
considerate esteem for her the two are
said TO have been practically separated
from date few years after the marriage
which was celebrated with so unusual
display of youthful affection. The mos.
curious fact stated about the Empress is
that she possessed no taste for music. art
or literature.
She is said TO have been fond of solitude
and during the days when her life seemed
10 be happiest there were no better hours
for her than those she spent alone. After
her estrangement the tendencies of the
family TO which she belonged-the Wittels-
DdCH-DSSdH 10 snow themselves, and she
seemed TO take pleasure only in being
alone. Some years after their original es-
arrangement the Empress and her husband
were reconciled through the skill of one OF
the Hungarian diplomatists. The union of
Austria and Hungary had been accomplish
ed and Deak, the Hungarian statesman,
IS said to have told the Emperor that so
long as his empire was at peace his family
should also be. The same suggestion had
been made to Elizabeth. A brief period
followed during which the Emperor and
his wife seemed to be really united But
this reconciliation did not continue long.
The Archduchess Marie Valerie her young
est child, was born year later. She was
the most beloved OF the Empress daugh-
ters, and toward her the Empress was nev-
er lacking in the best qualities of moth
er. Her conduct toward her other daugh-
ters was not so tender. The youngest girl
was frequently known as The Child of the
Reconciliation" She was equally devoted
to her father and TO her mother, and was
the first to go to him at Schoenbrunn after
the Empress death

TELEPHONES IN HAWAII.
The Islands Kept in Touch With the
World From IL Lookout Station.


Honolulu Jan. 24-Nowhere in the
world perhaps, is the telephone a greater
factor in life than in Hawaii. In these
Islands there are about 1000 telephones
to population of 10000. or one telephone
TO every fifty-two inhabitants. On the
island of Oahu, on which Honolulu is sit
uated, there are 1.090 telephones to a popu-
latiou of about A., coo, or about one to each
forty-one of the population.
The telephone was introduced here in
the latter part of 1850 and soon became an
established part of the business, social and
political life of the country. 1t may sound
strange TO use the word political in this
connection, but it is true in a sober and lit
eral sense, for in every revolution that has
been planned or attempted the seizure and
control of the central telephone office has
always been one of the first strategical
