Appeared in Skirts.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Dec. 15.-Hon.
Charles T. Caldwell, one of the best
known and most distinguished men,
bers of the West Virginia bar, created
a sensation in the Circuit Court yes
terday by appearing in skirts.
His reason for assuming female at
tire was chat he desired to impress up
on a jury, trying the damage suit of a
female client against the electric rail-
way company, how easy it was for a
woman's skirt to catch upon the car
brake, and how the brake dog would
pull the skirt in such manner as To
pull her violently forward instead of
tripping her feet from under her,
Mr.. Caldwell who is very large man
and weighs in the neighborhcod of 300
pounds, wore a dress much tco small
for him, and his appearance totally
disrupted the dignity of the court. The
trick won, however, and his client was
awarded substantial damages

The Homeliest Member of the
House.

While many Representatives are
laying claims to being the handsOmest
members of the House there is no such
rivalry among them for the distinction
of being the uglie5t. Beyond all doubt
this claim or honor belongs to Repre-
sentative Eddy, of Minnesota. Mr.. Ed
dy is not disturbed over the fact, nor
does the lack of personal beauty cause
him any annoyance. He Is one of the
most popular men in the House., and
also one of the hardest workers, and
fer this reason always finds favor with
his constituents, and is now serving
his third term. As stated, Mr.. Eddy
is not offended when HIS personal ap-
pearlance is mentioned, and during the
campaign it served his purpose to ans
wer the charges made against him by
his opponents. During his fight for re-
election, when he was charged with
being double-faced in his position on
certain issues, he sald

Deafness Cannot be- Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inhamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
lnfamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

Catarrh) that cannot be cured by

A BAD WRECK.
Coal Barges and Contents Sunk at
Parkefsburg,

A whole procession of towboabs with
big tows passed here early this morn
ing and all got by safely except the
Jim Brown, which lost part of her tow
and was nearly wrecked herself
The Brown is a small boat but had
q big tow, consisting Of fourteen pieces
including a fuel barge. 1t was about
o'clock when she approached the mar
rcw channel span of the B. & o. bridge
She began backing TO swing her tow
coward the Belpre side, but did not
swing fast enough. The front of the
tow passed under the bridge, but struck
about midways between the front end
and the boat. Spectators standing on
the bank saw the baIges crash up
against the slee of the pier. The fuel
barges saved the boat from being
wrecked ON the pier One boat sunk
at the pier and the tow was broken
apart and drlfuad helplessly down The
river
DiOWu HLIStitu lOt hClp thhu bhC
ferry boat Nina Paden landed two on
the West Virginia side about half
mile down, two sunk in the middle of
the river right opposite THE wharf. the
Brown landed four'o on the Belpre side,
and then shot on down the river after
the remaining f1ve which had gone ov-
er THE dam. These were overtaken
and landed on the West Virginia side.
Coming up the Brown recovered one
of the two that had been landed by the
ferry boat and landed it with the 9th
ers at the point below Belpre. She was
assisted in the work by one of the 9th
er tow boats
The loss will amount to about $780,

A Mighty Creature.

The dtnlosaur was mighty lizard
whose remains are found plentifully
scattered throughout the Cretaceous
and Jurassic inland seas of Wyoming
1t WAS probably a land animal, though
possibly it lived amphiblously. on land
and in fresh water swamps and per-
haps even along the shores of the salt
oceans. Prof Reed, in speaking of the
monster discovered by him last year
said:
can accurate idea of a living dinos-
aur is practically out of the question.
According to my opinion, l should say
that the animal now being brought to
hight weighed in life about sixty tons,
that he had neck thirty feet in length
and a tail perhaps siXty-five feet in
length. His ribs were about nine feet
in length, and the cavity of his body
with the lungs and entrails out would
have made hall thirty-four feet in
length, sixteen feet in width and arch
ed over probably twelve feet in height.
Such space, if properly arranged,
would seat at least forty people. A
round steak taken from the ham of the
animal would have been at least
twelve feet in diameter, or more than
thir'ty-fve feet in circumference, and
would have had solid bone in the
middle twelve by fourteen inches, with
no hollow for marrow. A set of fours
in cavalry could easily have ridden
abreast between his front and hind
legs, provided he had not objected.
Every time he put his foot down 1T
covered more than a square yard of
ground and must have fairly shaken
the earth The smallness Of the head
of this animal is peculiar thing.
should say that the head of Yhis
mighty dincsaur was probably not
larger than ten-galln keg. He must
have been a very sluggish creature,
as his brain cavity wuld certainly not
warrant the belief that that organ
weighed to evceed four or five pounds.

GEN CLAY LOSING HIS MIND,
The Aged General Sends a Pathetic
Telegram to Washington.
From the New York Herald.


Valley View, KY, March 4.-Gen. Cas-
sius M Clay, former minister to Russia,
is believed 10 be losing his mind and his
friends fear he will soon be a total wreck.
Neighbors have been afraid to venture to
his home for several weeks, and he has
been living in total seclusion. Since his
wife Dora left him, married Riley Brock
and settled down in the home given to her
by the venerable old man few months
ago, Gen. Clay has seen few visitors, and
his mind has shown signs of weakening.
To-day he sent a messenger to this place
with this telegram addressed to Senator
William Lindsay, at Washington:
Il and my former wife, Dora Brock
have been prisoners for about five wears
deprived of life, liberty. property and pur-
suit of happiness of lawless persons called

DIRECTOR OF THE CENSUS.
story of the Social and Political RI
valries Of Merriam and Davis.
From the New York Herald.

FROM the New York Herald.
The political and social rivalrles of the
families of Mr.. Merriam and Senator Da-
Wis have long disturbed the Republican
party affairs of Minnesota and the society
affairs of ST. Paul. Although Mr.. Mer-
RAM gained the friendship of President
Mckinley, that friendship was neutfalized
by the opposition of the senator That
opposition has prevented Mr.. Merriam's
nomination to various important foreign
missions, Senator Davis having openly de-
clared his intention of doing his best TO
defeat the confirmation of Mr. Merriam
to any office TO which he might be nom
mated requiring the advice and consent
of the Senate.
The hostility was due to a bitter social
feud between the wives of the two men,
which started nearly twenty years ago,
when Mr.. Davis married Miss Anna Ag-
new, who had been a seamstress in his
family. But something like a formal re-
Cancellation was effected between the two
women in January of this year, when
Mrs. Merriam called on Mrs Davis In
Washington. This was interpreted as in
dicating a suspension of open political
hostilities between their distinguished
husbands.
Mr. Merriam was born at Wadham
Mills, N Y, in 1S49, but when he was u
years old his father moved to Minnesota,
settling in St. Paul He was graduated
from Racine College in 1871 at the head
of his class. He began his business ca
reer as a clerk in the First National
Bank of St. Paul at a salary of $50 a
month. His advancement was rapid. In
1878 he was made cashier OF the Merchants
National Bank of ST. Paul. Seven years
later he was chosen vice president, and
in 1882 became its president.
In the following year he entered poll
tics, winning a seat in the legislature
in district which previously had been
heavily Democratic. He was reelected in
1886, and was made speaker of the House.
In that year he met his first defeat He
was nominated for the Mayoralty of st.
Paul, but was beaten by 5000 votes He
was amply consoled by his election to the
GovernorshiD in 1888. He was reelected
in 1890 Since the expiration of his Sec
ond term, on Jan. !, 1893. he has held no
public office, but has taken an active part
in the political fight in his state, his OPP
ponents paying tribute to his ability by
clubbing him boss Of the Minnesota Re
