Unable To Let Go.

Russell Sage, the perennially young
and Cas his antagonists sometimes
think Internally active Wall street
magnate, denies the report that he is
about to retire from business and go to
live on a farm. mot a word of truth
in it." he says, and his friend and bro
ker, w. E. Connor, says that Mr.. Sage
has no intention of ever retiring
"he is so constituted that he couldn't
live away from business"
Uncle RUSSELL was not "constitut-
ed' that way; he doubtless loved to go
fishing or otherwise divert himself
when young. But his business habits
and his passion for money making
have become so confirmed that he
simply couldn't stop If he wanted to-
which he doesn't.
A wise physician who has long OBJ
served the customs of Europeans and
Americans in this particular says that
if man cannot retire from his busi-
ness or profession when fifty years old
-as a truly rational man with ca
pacity for wrestling from life its
uses and gathering from life its beau
ty' would wish to do--he had better
not do it all. After that age it is hard
to readjust ones habits to life of
leisure.
There is something pathetic in the
sight of an American of sixty or sew
enty years, whose whole life has been
spent in "hustling" of some sort or
other, retired and trying to "enjoy
himself" He simply can't do it
and generally dies early in the vain
experiment. A man like Russell Sage
now eighty-three years old-can no
more retire from business, so long as
he is able to transact it, than man
can let go of live electric wires.--New

Wild Animals Decreasing.

| The London News prints an inter
esting interview with Mr. Carl Hagen
back, the famous collector and trainer
of animals, of Hamburg, Germany.
When the interview suggested that he
must find it more difficult to get speci-
mems of wild animals as civilization
extends, Mr. Hagenback said
81 do, for wild animals are decreas-
ing very rapidly indeed. Variety after
variety, that 20 years ago was quite
common is now utterly gone or cnly
a few specimens are left. The true
mcul.cain zebra, that not long since
could be found in large numbers, has
now vanished. Three South African
varieties of the zebra have disappeared
within the last quarter CT century.
From the wild animal hunters point
if view, South Africa is now quite
spoiled. Men have been so busy
slaughtering merely for the sake of
slaughter that the beats are becoming
extinct. Babies and breeding females
are shot down as indlscrlmlnately as
bulls. Englishmen are perhaps the
worst offenders in this matter, and in
the English territories the least pro-
vision is made for protecting the ami
mails. No one objects to the hunters
shooting down all the bull elephants
they can, but what sport can there be
in their slaughtering COWS and babies 4?
This might be to some degree stopped
by regulation forbidding trading in
small ivory tusks undep Is or 12
pounds in weight.
"As specimen Of how animals are
disappearing, take the Soudan. Before
Mahdism swept over 1t it was one of
oul best countries. Hippopotami,
elephants, the rhinoceroc were all OBJ
tained there in abundance. We train
ed tribes for the chase. Since the land
has been reopened, trader, formerly
my agent, has gone there, hoping to
renew business. He writes to me that
the old hunting tribes are gone. and
that the great game have practically
DISAPPEARED. He had his journey for
nothing"

Ohio River Interests.

The delegates from the Ohio Valley
Improvement Association to the an
nual meeting of the National Board
OF Trade were announced yesterday
as follows: President John l.. Vance,
Commodore f. A. Laidley and e. p
Wilson.
A committee to present to the Con-
gressional Committee on Rivers and
Harbors resolutions adopted by the
Association at its recent convention
in Louisville was also appointed by
President Vance during his visit to the
city, as follows: George H. Anderson,
Pittsburg; Albert Bettinger and e. P.
Wilson, Cincinnati Howard Hazlett,
Wheeling; w. w. Hite, Louisville, and
C. ]. Murphy, Evansville.
Before leaving for his home at Gal
lipolis yesterday Colonel Vance sum
med up the points of vital interest to
the whole valley as follows:
Flrst-That the survey of the river
shall be completed and a system OF
locks and movable dams located at
such points as will secure, when COM
pleted, continuous stage of water not
less than six feet from Pittsburg to
Cairo. This survey and locations OF
dams will necessarily involve much
work, and is absolutely essential to
the system and practical accomplish
ment of the object for which the asso-
citation was formed.
Second--The associations will urge
upon Congress such appropriations as
are necessary to push during the cur
rent year rapidly toward completion
the locks and movable dams already
authorized and recommended, includ-
ing the dams at Wheeling, Marietta,
Gallipolis and Cincinnati. The asso-
ciatlon will also cooperate with the
Society for the Improvement of West
ern Waterways to sucure liberal ap-
propriations to protect and improve
the jetties and levees of the Lower
Mississippi, in orden to protect the
commerce of the entire Mississippi
Valley.
The officers of the association will
also cooperate in urging upon Con-
gress the early completion, under
Government control, of an interocean-
ic canal. 1t is believed that many aux
Hilary influences will be present in
Washington to aid and cooperate with
the representatives OF the Ohio Valley
Improvement Association in the i'm
portant projects in which they are in
terested.-Cin. Com. Trib.

Getting Too Warmfor Them.

The gypsies who have been encamp-
ed on the Elizabeth Pike about five
miles above town for the past three
weeks, folded their tents and stole away
early Saturday morning and are now
encamped near the city. They anti
pated trouble, as the farmers in the
vicinity of their camp had determined
to invoke the aid of the law to assist
them in ridding themselves of these
pestiferous individuals, who made it a
point to go to the farm houses when
the men were not about and bulldoze
the women into giving them eatables.
They visited j. d. Longs during his
absence on Friday and refused to
leave when ordered to do so. Mrs.
Long went into the house, got dou-
BILE barrel shotgun and going outside,
gave the intruders just one minute to
get off the place or take the contents of
the gun. They saw that she was in
earnest and got out of range of that
gun in double quick order.-Sentinel.

Working On His Message.

Governor Bushnell is hard at work
on his annual message to be submit
ted to the Seventy-fourth general as
sembly on the 1st proX. AS the gov
ernor retires from Office within a week
OF its delivery to the legislature, it is
not believed the document will be any
thing more than message of a gen.
eral character, in which one of the
most important features will be the
financial management of the states af-
fairs during the four years Of his in
cumbency of the governorship. The
state administration is to be congratu-
lated upon tnis feature of the record.
Another thing the governor will dwell
upon at length will be the part that
Ohio played in the late Spanish-Amer-
lean war, with tribute to the patriot
ism of the Ohio boys who shouldered
their guns at the call of the president
for troops and went lortn to fight the
enemies of the country. The last leg
islature adjourned on the threshold
of that war, on the very day that hos
tilitles were declared, April 25. after
having made liberal appropriation at
the absolute command of the governor
and one of the brightest pages Of Am
erican history has been written since
the delivery Of his last message to the
general assembly. On several occas-
ions Governor Bushnell has warmly
eulogized the conduct of Ohio in that
war, and it is quite certain that as he
leaves the service OF the state he will
repeat and emphasize what he has
publicly acknowledged on a number Of
occasions. Ohio bore her full part in
that contest, and the governor will say
So
In that war Ohio had 10 regiments of
infantry, Ninth battalion colored dn-
fantry, First light artillery and First
regiment of infantry and the First
regiment OF cavalry, every command,
with the exception of the Tenth regi-
ment of infantry and the First regi-
ment OF cavalry, being recruited from
the ranks o fthe National Guard. The
closest unofficial estimates OF the num-
Der OF soldiers and officers under the
two calls Of President Mckinley, con-
tributed by Ohio are: Infantry, 13,4S2;
cavalry, S47; light artillery. 1856; in
regular army, marine corps. signal
corps. hospital corps, engineers, ETC.,
1878; total. 1929. This number is
approximately 1000 in excess of the
actual quota of the state. More than

Florida strawberries at 80 cents a

hurry to expend his newly found
prosperity in such useless luxuries.
It was Eugene Field who refused to

spoil his appetite for prunes. The un-
seasonable strawberry is usually about

in price.-Oil City Derrick.

New Oil Field.

Macarthur, Dec. 2.-An oil well was
struck on Russell run, Vinton county,
~ miles east of this place near Bolan
Mills. The land and well is owned by
John Stanert, and John Donahue, the
contractor under whose direction the
wrok was done. At distance of 1900
feet the Berea sand was struck and oil
and gas rushed up through the hole,
which was then plugged, but the plug
was forced out by the gas and oil. At
forwards the hole was more seriously
plugged. The operators intend shoot
ing it, and if advisable will bore to the

of the features of the Bushnell admin
istration Matters of minor import
ance will make up message of less
than usual importance, inasmuch as
the author is to go ut of power. There
will be but passing interest in what
the governor may have to say, for the

Baby Nearly Frozen.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Dec. 8 AS
David Romine, farmer, was driving
into the city from below Blennerhas-
sett Island on Thursday morning he
was surprised to see two-year-old
child trudging down the road. He
picked it up and found that it was
thoroughly chilled andinan almost ex-
hausted condition. He inquired at the
different farm houses as he drove in,
but could find no one who knew the
youngster, when suddenly he came up
on a searching party who had Travelled
for miles securing the woods for the
baby. 1t developed that it was the
child of family named Wakefield,
who lived four miles from where it
was found.

Doping at the Horse Show.

The New York Horse Show has al
ways been supposed to be a place where
noblesse oblige flourishes like lily in
a Florida river, and where the ordin-
airy tricks of trade are not admired
So it comes as shock to the public
delicate sensibilities to be informed
that practices belonging to the veriest
outlaw race track are introduced
where the noble animals may gaze on
the four hundred, while the four hund-
red gaze upon them. The practice is
that of doping" by which is meant
giving the horse some stimulant be-
fore he is exhibited, so that lack
adaisical plow horse will cavort like a
charger and broken down cabby trod
the tanbark as lightly as winged
Pegasus. When the stimulus wears
off the horse has all the symptoms OF
the next morning." and the only way
to determine beyond doubt whether he
has been doctored Is to isolate him and
note the consequence.
The matter is said to be giving the
management much trouble, as no one
wishes to decorate with a blue ribbon
a horse whose head is buzzing so that
he couldn't tell whether he is perch
eron or a hunter, and let his owner
pocket the worse than stolen prize,
while it would be unjust to cast the
least suspicion on those who atogeth-
er innocent. But the public should be
protected, as we'll as the good moral
horses, and allowed 10 run no risk OF
applauding the fretful antics of de-
generate. Perhaps some equine shib-
boleth can be found to determine
whether horse has been "doped" or
not.-BaltimOre American.

The man who was arrested has been
staying with relatives on the West

Close to the President.

Washington, Nov 29.-The Fidus
Achates of President Mckinley is not
Senator Hanna, but Comptroller of the
Currency Dawes. Perhaps in political
management the Senator has the first
call but Mr.. Dawes is the man who has
the social and personal seat at the
White House. He is the only official
in Washington who would dare tell the
President what sore of necktie he
should wear.
When Mrs. Mckinley goes to the op-
era or theatre Mr.. and Mrs. Dawes go
with her if the President cannot attend
Mr.. Dawes's intimacy with President
Mckinley is like to that which existed
between Cleveland and Lamont when
the latter was his secretary.
