Obituary..

Newton Bowling, son OF Arthur and
Addie Bowling, was born at Marietta,
o., July s, 1896 Died at his home on
Greene street, Marietta, Feb. 23, 1899.
He had been in usual health up till 6
O'Clock in the evening, when he was
taken down with spasms from which
he never rallied and at 4:2O a. m. he
peacefully passed away. The direct
cause OF his death was acute conges-
tion OF the lungs, He was the first
and only child and the parting leaves
an impression that willnever be forgot
ten. He was kind, loving and affec-
tlonate and loved by everyone. But
God knows best, as He has said, "Suf-
fer little children to come unto me-"
We know that he Is safe in the care OF
cur Savior when tits ours to go II
right we live, we shall meet on the
other shore. He was laid TO rest at
Hopewell cemetery, Monroe county,
Feb. l6, at goo O'Clock. Services by
Rev Nultoh Masterton. The bereay-
ed parents have our heartfelt sym
pathy.

Standard Oil Cases.

Columbus, Feb. 27.-Allen T. Brins-
made, master commissioner, under ap-
pointment of the supreme court, in the
Standard Oil case, arrived in the city
last evening from Cleveland.
1t is understood that he is here to
take testimony today in the eases
which have been creating SO much of a
stir about the state in the last few
weeks. There is an interest in this
hearing, as it is known that George
Rice is the dealer wb2cpenly fought
toe Standard Oil coInpany for a num-
Der of years, but whose refinery has
since suspended operations.
The principal feature to be brought
out today is the manner in which the
Standard Oil company is said to have
run competing companies out of the
business. 1t will bear directly on the
Standard Oil case and will have moth
ing to do with the contempt proceed
ings. This explains the visit of the
master commissioner here, who takes
the testimony. acting for the court,
which hears no testimony
An interesting phase of the question
is just developing. The right of a
notary to hear testimony in this case
Is being questioned. The point in
doubt is whether or not he can decide
on the competency of testimony. The
notary before whom the last hearing
was held has doubts himself on this
subject and will not decide at once.
The hearing today will begin at 8
O'Clock.

MOVED OUT!
Bag and Baggage the Argaud Re-
fning Co. Leaves Nothing,

There was not a little interest taken
by the people Monday evening down at
lne corner OF Front and Greene streets
due to the extreme activt,y of affairs
in TIE Office of the Argand Refining
Company.
no Leader man who appeared on
the scene about nine o'clock, the place
was picture of desolation. The Office
was busy with men carrying away the
numerous belongings OF the company
and used in the conduct of The Ar
gand's large business. Everything,
from their big safes down to the waste
baskets and pen-wipe~s, were going
out of the building as fast as quick
workmen could handle them, and load
ed Cnto transfer wagons, to De sent out
of the State of Ohio.
Whittier these goods were bound is
not absolutely known by us, but we
venture a good guess in saying that
they were headed for Parkersburg
The ferryboat seemed to be the OBJ
jective point of some of the loads
aimed up street--probably for ship
ment, possibly for storage.
Not much satisfactory information
could be CLEANED from those who were
IN the midst of the active scene, but a
mans eyes told him enough. The Ar
gand was leaving Marietta-and for
another State-a State which will re-
ceive the Argand with open arms.
Whereas, we cannot say, because we
do not know, that the move is per-
manent, we hope, as does the majority
Of the people, that it is not.

To say that the Argand's sudden
move was a surprise, would be putting
the case mildly. Notification was re-
eeived with surprise, and the execution
Of the work was about as sudden.
Work of dismantling began in the af-
ternoon OF Monday and before half
dozen hours had elapsed, the place
looked as though business in the Office
mad been a thing of the past for long

Monday Evening.

AT the Marietta Club Rooms on Put
nam street Monday evening there was
large attendance at the Board of
Trade meeting
The matter was taken up OF ascer-
tanning what action would be neces-
sary to secure the location of another

tions for the appropriation.

thanks of the Board of Trade to those
Representatives who labored so an
xiously and industriously for the ap-

There is no longer any doubt that the
Standard Oil company has held up the
British house of commons It is useless
TO discuss here whether this is victory
of vested rights or of bloated capital
lists All we can do is to observe with
some degree Of interest that several OF
the influential English journals openly
declare that the American oil king has
been too much for the house of COM
mons. One paper sets forth in head
lines this statement. which ought to
give the very marrow Of English con-
servatism a wrench ''Mr. Rockefeller
and the American Standard Oil Triumph
Over the House " The government un-
dertook to pass an enactment against
what is known as murder oiI'-that
is oil of a certain explosive quality
But the influence of the company. we
are gravely told by our English editors,
was too much for the government.

The Terrible Hamadryad.

There is only one beast that will
track you down to avenge the death of
its mate no matter how far you go. and
that is a snake
Moreover, it is the most terrible of
all snakes and the largest of the poison
Gus variety. It's name is the hamadryad.
A bite from this reptile will kill the
strongest man in two minutes, and Of
course there is no remedy. No one Bit
ten by hamadryad has ever survived.
It chiefly belongs to the far east.
There are generally two hamadryads
if there is one, and if you kill one of
them the other will be on your track
before long in all probability. Short of
taking ship across the sea there is no
way of escaping unless you watch for
the snake and shoot it. It will follow
you for miles for the chance of stealthy
stroke, and you may climb trees or
mountains or ford rivers, but there is
no way of evading the hamadryad. It
is a sort Of nightmare hunt to be chased
by one, and when the chase begins
either one or the other will have to die
within day or so. The mate Of the
slain snake never makes mistake, but
always kills the slayer of it's companion
and him alone. This reptile grows to
length of Is feet sometimes and is
fairly common in Malay and New
G7inea. One scratch from its fangs is
certain and instant death.

Ways Of Railroads.

10 the last March oumber Of the
North American Review, Mr.. H. T..
Newcomb, careful student of ecoaomic
and industrial problems, discussed the
question Of railway pooling with much
ciearness and force. The following
taken from the body Of his paper will
be read with great interest by many
persons in this part Of the country who
are interested in the ways of the
railroads:
"In it's relation to al. other individ-
uals, and to all localities provided with
less ample facilities for transportation,
tie railway corporation possesses a
monopoly privilege, and. 10 the absence
Of effective legal restraint. its chargee
are limited, if at all, solely by the
requirement imposed by enlightened
self interest that they shall not prevent
the movement of traffic. In practice,
this theoretical Limitation is toe
frequently disregarded. and the rates
prescribed are practically prohibi'ivs.
The most obvious examples of this are
found in the region south of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers, and east OF
the Mississippi River. The railways
serving this section have formulated
their rate schedules 10 accordance with
purpose, by them freely askoowl-
edged and warmly defended, to foster
the Wholesale or jobbing business of
certain cities, and to compel the
residents of all other cities and towns
to purchase their supplies in the favor
ed cities, while restricting the sales OF
the merchants located ia the places
Disseminated against to the goods
necessary to supply the retail demand
Of their several localities"

No Reporters Allowed.

It may appear incredible that there
could ever have lived politician who
objected to having his bursts of oratory
displayed before an admiring public.
From time immemorial, so far at least
as American history is concerned, ex-
cept in case of solemn secret session, in
which, as everybody knows, no business
of Importance is ever transacted, the
portals of the historic capitol have been
wide open to the knights of the stub.
Yet twas not always so, for the rec
ords of parliament show that for many
decades-indeed all during the great
Revolution and for century after-no
reporter was allowed to hear word Of
the assemb}y's doings. The times were
troublous. Not knowing that the man
he roasted today might not be in po-
sition to relieve him of his head tomor-
row, the speaker was naturally anxious
to keep as much as possible of the flow
of spirit to himself.
Of the endless gems of Bolingbroke,
Of whom Pitt the elder said that he
would rather read one Of his speeches
than the best masterpiece of antiquity,
not a word remains; Of Pitt himself,
with the exception of few orations so
obviously padded that no reliance can
be placed on them, we have nothing,
and in earlier, rougher days, King Pym,
him whose unbridled genius gained him
the name of the most inspiring mover
of the time, Hampden and Strobe, are
all gene. The great mass Of these lost
orations would throw a valuable light
on the history of all time.

Mrs. Burton Harrison has called at
:ention to the fact that professional peo-
ple do not enter New York society as
they do in London and Paris. They are
not debarred by any edict. but they
lust don t care for it, and society is apt
to regard them as freaks It is not pos
sible to enter any social circle in Lon
don without meeting artists, literary
men and occasionally actors of good re-
pute But in New York one seldom if
ever comes across these people in what
is known as the ''swell sets Mrs
Burton Harrison is too polite to say
that the ''swell sets are too dull for
professional people. but she leaves US to
infer that men Of real talent who have
distinguished themselves by hard work
do not care in this country to be trotted
out for the amusement of wealthy and
idle people. Mrs Harrison therefore
pays the professional people of America
an oblique compliment But it should
be born in mind that there is society
and society. and the kind that Mrs.
Burton Harrison is writing about may
be the swellest. but it is not the most
important or influential. in the COM
munity
