HERE is A STRAIGHT TIP
For the Man Who Gets Mad and
Stops Ills County Paper.

One OF the most foolish things a
man can do is to stop his county
paper because he gets mad at the
editor. The affair is almost wholly
one-sided, and effects the ex.sub-
scriber much more than the editor.
In the first place, the former has
probably gotten more or less at
tached to the paper and depends on
1t for the county news, and as it is
generally tho local organ Of his
political party, he is badly OF with
out it, and does himself and his
family a great injustice in stopping
1t because Of some petty anger over
something in the paper that dis
pleases him. Then his spite work
always puts him in more or less OF
predicament, for his neighbors
and friends who know OF his taking
the paper, for long time perhaps,
are bound 20 find out of his stop
ping it, and the reason for it, and
nine out Of ten OF them will laugh
at him for his foolishness and say
that he has mado an ass ont of
himself, and their fun will be all
the more hilarious when he sneaks
around to borrow the paper, or read
1T In some surreptitious manner. In
the case OF city paper, or any
publication away from home, it
does not make 80 much difference
about stopping it, because there are
perhaps plenty Of others just as
good, and that will entirely take it's
place. But not 80 with your local
paper, and specially when there is
only one like it in the county and
no one to take it's place.
Now for the editors side Of it..
AS matter Of fact, there ia moth
ing much TO say. The mere matter
OF one subscriber among thousand
and over stopping his paper, is
such a small affair that no atten-
ton is paid to it, and very often
the editor knows nothing Of it, as
the order for discontinuance may
be received by some assistant or
subordinate, who thinks nothing
OF it, since changes in list Of sew
eral hundred are constantly taking
place, some subscriptions expiring,
new ones coming in, addresses be-
ing changed and credits on &C
counts made. All this taking place
every day, and such common
place matter as to excite no com
ment or second thought.
Ii man would just stop and
think that he is only one out of a
thousand or more, and will never
be missed at all. and that some
other fellow, perhaps a half dozen,
will take his place the same day,
he would see how futile is his anger
against the paper. When a man
gets mad and thinks Of stopping
his paper and thereby seriously
barrassing the management, he
should 60 out and stick his finger
In a tub Of water and then look for
the hole. The size Of 1t will repre-.
sent his damage to the paper. But
most fellows Of this class have
some kind of an idea that the paper
will have to close up shop and sus-
pend publication when they with
draw their support. This amuses
the editor a little, and then the
matter is dismissed from further
consideration.

A council of the French Minis
try in session last week decided
that the court martial verdict
against Capt. Alfred Dreyfus
should be set aside and that par
don should be issued to the Jewish
officer which was accordingly signed
by President Loubet and thus
ends the greatest trial in modern
times. This solution Of the trou-
bic saves all concerned. Dreyfus
goes free and by the pardon and
the verdict against him saves the
hide Of the scoundrels in the
French Army, who conspired
against him.

The party writing the political
pointers" for the editorial page
OF the Wheeling Register should
post up a little on the location of
the prominent politicians of the
State. In Wednesdays issue of
last week this column of so-called
political pointers" spoke of
Elliott Northcott of Huntington,
as being a candidate for q position
on the Republican State Ticket
and then went on to say that
"Another candidate from that
section, and one who appears to
have as much strength as any of
the others, is Arnold Scherr. He
ls a wealthy tanner. and as he is
not tyro in politics, he is pre-.
sumed to know the value of a
barrel in campaign times.
Scherr is a leader of his party i'm
his own portion of the State, and
If a convention were held now he
would have q strong following"
AS Mr.. Scherr has long resided
in Grant county and engaged in
business there and at Keyser, it is
hard for us to believe that he is
"from that section" about Hunt
ington.

This paper has never made any
charge for publishing obituary
notices, but cheerfully inserted
them partly as a matter Of interest
to the friends Of The deceased and
partly az a matter Of local news,
but when the notice comes in two
or three months after the death
and burial Of the late lamented
and everybody has forgotten about
- except the family and immediate
friends, it becomes very stale news
and is more a mark Of disrespect
than any tribute to The memory Of
the dead II shows great ncqlI
genco and apparent Indifference
and If The pastor or some friend
cannot prepare and send in the
obituary soon after the funeral, 10
had better not be sent At all.
Every once in awhile We got no
tice Of this kind from one to three
months out Of date and we will here
sfter decline TO pnhlish auoh dead

Occupied for School Purposes.

Col. Theodore A. Bingham. the officer in
charge of the public buildings and grounds,
several days ago invited the attention of
the District Commissioners to the building
on the reservation between Sth and 9th
streets and K street and Virginia avenue
southeast. Col. Bingham said he had been
Informed that the building is no longer used
for public school purposes, and he inquired
whether, if. SO far as the Commissioners
are concerned. his office would be at liberty
to improve the reservation. His inquiry
was referred to B. w. Murch, assistant
superintendent of public schools, who has
informed the Commissioners that the build
ing will be used for school purposes during
the present school year. A cooking school.
said Mr.. Murch, will occupy the upper floor
of the building, and kindergarten and
manual training school shop the lower
floor. The lower floor, stated Mr.. Murch,
has been used for several years as a store
room for furniture permanently or tempo
rarily discarded by the schools The sub
stance of Mr. Murch's report has been for
warded to Col. Bingham.

With the close of the board Of trade year
and the near approach of Congress the
Washington board of trade becomes more
sional recess. During the past year a sreat
deal has been done and just now the vari-
Gus committees are hard at work preparing
their reports, so that they may render ac-
count of their stewardship. Committee
meetings are being held daily in the board
rooms and plans for the future are being
carefully framed, so that they may be set
forth at the annual meeting of the board.
The committee on membership is engaged
in seeing to it that as few as possible of the
desirable business and professional men in
Washington are outside of membership;
within the past few days number of eligi-
bic merchants have made application tor
admission.
During the first three or four days of No
vember the board of directors will hold at
least one meeting and will then elect the
approved applicants, make arrangements
Tor the public meeting of the board at
which the code of laws is to be considered
and attend to the preliminarieS of the an

BURGLAR SENTENCED,
Sent to Penitentary for Term of Ten

Justice Cole, in Criminal Court No. 2 to-
day imposed the limit of the law in the
case of Lewis Williams, colored, who plead
ed guilty under an indictment alleging
housebreaking. The prisoner was sentenced
to Imprisonment in the West Virginia pen
itentiary at Moundsville for ten years.
Williams offense was burglary, commit
ted at the residence of Mr.. Andrew Maui
ger, Alt d street northeast, the 10th of
last July. Mr. Mauger and his wife left
the house about IL clock in the morning,
and did not return until evening. Williams,
therefore. had plenty of time to select what
he desired from their possessions. When
he left he took with him a valuable watch,
chain, rings, glasses, breast pins, bracelets
and the like. Clever work on the part of
Detective Sam Brown resulted in appre-
hending the thief. The greater portion
of the JeWelry was recovered.
AS Williams has heretofore served time
in the penitentiary and in Jail, Justice Cole
remarked that he considered the proper
course to be to commit the man for as long
a period as the law allows

CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
Gus Dorsey Arrested for LOoting Vir-

Gus Dorsey Arrested for LOOting Nir-
ginin Post Office.
Gus Dorsey, colored, was locked up at
turned over to the post office authorities on
a charge of robbing the post office at
LovettsvilIe, Va. He will probably be taken
to Alexandria and placed in Jail there for
trial at the next term of the United States
court.
The LovettsVille post office and store were
robbed Wednesday night of last week, and
Postmaster II. w. Eamich has been doing
detective work on the case ever since. Very
early this morning he learned that Dorsey
station at Washington junction, and about
8 o'clock he arrested him. Postmaster
Eamich had been told that Dorsey had
made statement that he would never be
taken alive, and before going to arrest him
Mr.. Eamich armed himself. Dorsey offered
no resistance but came here willingly.
The robbery committed late at night,
and among the stolen property were a
quantity of jewelry and some clothing. Five
watches, twenty rings, dozen chains and
ascertained that the robber crossed the
river from Virginia and appeared at Bruins
wick, Md, the next morning, where he
made an effort to dispose of some of the
plumber. Dorsey is the man charged with
having offered the property for sale, but
he denies the accusation. He belongs in
Virginia, in the vicinity of Lovettsville, it
is stated, but he spends much of his time
across the river in Maryland.
