Dam at CulIom's,

Col. John l.. Vance, President of the
Ohio Valley Improvement Association
made trip Sunday morning on the
the steamer City of Louisville down to
a point below Vevay Ind, and return
ed on the City of Cincinnati the same
night The trip afforded an excellent
opportunity TO make a careful obser-
walton of the stretch of country en-
braclng Cullom's Ripple. Speaking of
his trip, Col. Vance said yesterday
"The examination demonstrates be-
yond peradventure that nature has
provided magnificent location for a
lock and movable dam, and this great
improvement may be constructed at
the very lowest cost; perhaps at as
small cost as any lock and dam
along the Ohio River | am satisfied a
dam at Cullom's Ripple will afford suf-
ficlent water to keep the harbor at
Cincinnati open for navigation during
che entire year, and it is impossible to
estimate the benefit that this will be
to all the great commercial interests
of the Queen City" y."-Commercial

A New Oil Company.

Monday afternoon, at Charleston,
Secretary of State W. M o. Dawson
issued charter to the Bettman Oil
and Gas company, of this city. This
company has a paid up capital of
81 900, $4,000 subscribed and $2OO,O 900
authorized. The incorporators are
Emma Bettman, of New York, who
holds 80 shares; Ida Bettman of New
York, 90 shares, and Lou Cans and
Henry Silverman, of New York, and J..
G. McCluer, of this city, one share
each.
1t is well known that Mrs. Emma
Bettman and Mrs. Ida Betman the
heaviest stockholders in the company,
are wives of two of the members of
the firm, Bettman, Watson & Bern
heimer, whose property is now in the
hands of Hon. John T. McGraw, as re-
ceiver.
1t is given out by some who know
that as soon as the new firm organizes
and gets in shape they will probably
absorb the immense holdings of the
old firm by purchase of its property
and operate the leases, which cover
portions of Rltchie, Writ, Peasants
and Wood counties.
/ e offices of the new corporation
will be in this city and will be opened
in a very few weeks.-Sentinel

A Pittsburger in Luck,

Press dispatches from West Virginia
a few days ago told of big transfer
of land in the Liountain State, the
tract consisting of 81, 900 acresand was
owned by Morris B. Derr4cK, of Chic

was known as the "Wlll Lands" and
at the time was regarded as worthless.
The owner allowed unpaid taxes to
accumulate to the extent of many
thousands of dollars. Last week Mr..
Derrick sold the property to Charles
Barry, also of Chicago, and the latter's
attorney Is now at work STRENGTHENING
the title and adjusting the delinquent
taxes. The property lies partly in
Mason and partly in Jackson counties
and the oil right on the entire tract is
held by j, Saudek, ofrthis city. Part
of is favorably located for produc-

About Finger Nails.

In early times it was considered
that bad luck would certainly attend
any person who neglected to either
burn or bury the parings of his finger
nails. Among the Hebrews it was the
custom to pare the nails on a Friday,
and the operation had to be conducted
in a certain manner. The little finger
on the left hand had first to be operat-
by the fourth finger, thumb and fore
finger. The nail of the middle finger
of the right hand had next to be cut;
then came the thumb, then the fore
finger, and afterward the fourth and
little finger.
When fortune telling was more in
vogue than at present the shape and
appearance of the finger nails were
looked upon as having reference to
ones destiny. The nails were first
rubbed over with a mixture of wax
and SCOT, and after being thus pre-
pared, were held that the sunlight fell
full upon them. On the horny, trans
parent substance were supposed to ap-
pear signs and characters from which
the future could be interpreted.
| Persons, too with certain descrip-
tons of nails were supposed to possess
certain characteristics. For instance,
a man with red and spoiled nails was
of fiery, hOt-tempered disposition,
while pale, lead-cOlored nails denoted
melancholy temperament.
Ambitious and quarrelsome people
were distinguished by narrow nails,
while lovers of knowledge and liberal
sentiment had round shaped nalIs.
Conceited obstinate and narrow
minded persons were possessed of
small nails; lazy, indolent individuals
of fleshy nails, and those of a gentle,
timid nature of broad nails.
Those persons whose nails grow in
to the flesh at the sides are generally
luxurlously inclined, while those with
very pale nails are subject to both
bodily and mental suffering.-Wom-
ans Life.

larceny and sentenced to the Pennsyl-

he was admitted on October 10th, 1898.
On October 18th, 1895, at the expira-

The officers in charge of the institu-

Creue Wells UnheaIthfII,

Three years used to be the allotted
time for woman to wear deep
mourning for her husband or parent
Now, she wears a heavy crepe veil the
first three months, and very rarely ov-
er the face, as that unhealthful Gus
tom has been much cried down by en-
inent physicians. With the heavy veil
and close bonnet which is completely
covered, she wears simply made
black dress of some lustreless material
cashmere, crepon, or organdie, ac-
cording to the season. For winter use
camels hair is an excellent material
for everyday street wear. AS little
trimming as possible is in good taste
when woman is wearing deep mourn
ing.
Children are very seldom put into
mourning now until they are over
twelve years old at least, and not al
ways then. 1t is considered unhealthy
by doctors TO dress children in black.
