EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some $1.- 976.000 left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes it interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over $1,- O00,0O0, but the bulk of this was cer- tainly not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of CamberweH amassed over $500000, but he owned one, if not two, lucrative private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personally to Sir W. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving $1,720,- no behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, a large proportion of which for a long series of years had been excellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there is a large falling off in the amount, S1,034, ,465. Sir An drew sank a good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about $735, ,000, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich- ard Quain's, about $585,000.
 Sir William Bowman, the oculist. Sir Prescott Hewett, Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were we'll under the $500,0O0 mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $15,000 or $20,000 a year is a big income for professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged $1,000 week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over $1,5G0 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro sessiCn, without a doubt.

PLANTS SEEN IN QUEER PLACES

 Ter story Factory Blooming All Over
 with Flowers.
 Flower pots exposed along the win dow 4es prove that spring is here. There $ no better sign. All winter the faint blooms have shone behind the glass of the panes. but now they take the open air like inyalids confined for long, but convalescing. They are curious things, flower pots, and evil dence the love of nature born in us all and staying with us to our latest breath. They are seen, too, in the most curious places. There is a huge smoke-g -grimed factory on the west side, ten stories high. The air about it is thick with coal dust and soot. Yet all summer it's lodges bloom like gardens. One knows that many girls work in that factory. The flowers are watered from tin cups that are carried full and dripping the long length of the halls in the luncheon half hour. Men would not take the trouble, but the woman who does not love buds and blooms is as rare as the woman who does not love babies. Tn either case her think. ing machinery has slipped a cog or was built wrongly to begin with. Flower pots and little seamstresses working high up above the city's roar go to- gether as naturally as turkey and cranberry sauce.

THE FIRST OVERWHELMING.
1t Was Held at Russenyille, RyY 2
 Century Ago.

Century Ago.
 The effect of the McGee brothers preaching especially of John McGee- at Presbyterian quarterly meeting on the banks of the Red river, Kentucky, was so startling and seemed so clearly to indicate that it was the result of divine agency or some mysterious force possessed by the preacher, that the news of the occurrence spread rapidly in all directions throughout that part of the state and attracted unbounded interest" writes Clifford Howard in the Ladies' Home Journal. If it did not at once awaken a responsive re- ligious feeling, it at least excited curi- osity and when it was learned that the MeGee brothers were to hold a meet Ing at Russellville, Ky, a newly set tied town in Logan county, near the Muddy river, persons from all parts of the adjoining country, irrespective of their religious beliefs or church al- legiance, prepared to attend. It soon became evident that the four walls of a country meeting house would not suf- uSC eO 4O4d tAS ldl SS nuuUG lUdI were making ready to go to Russell vile. The problem thus presented was solved by determining to hold the meeting in the open air Those com ing from a distance were prepared to camp; it would be no hardship to them to remain out of doors. The recent experience at Red river had proved this. It was not expected by those who were coming that the lodging ac- commodation at the village of Russell vile would be sufficient by any means. Why, therefore, attempt to house ~Ae people? Prepare a camping ground and let the meeting be a camp meet ing. This, then, was the origin of camp meetings; and the first one held in America was on the banks of t4e Muddy, near Russellville, Ky, in the month of August, 1799-100 years ago. Not that religious worship had never before been held in the open air, but the special feature of camping out and the nature of the services made the camp meeting a distinctive institution and characterized this particular gath ering on Muddy river as the first of it's kind"

Red Hair Wears Rest.

Why are red-headed people less SUD- feet to badness than those with fali or brown hair? An English physician has answered this conundrum: The hair of the red-headed is relatively thick, one red hair being as thick as five blonde or three brown hairs. With 5000 red hairs the scalp is well shatched; with the same number of blonde hairs one is almost bald. It takes 160,000 blonde and 1o5, 900 brown hairs to cover adequately an ordinar, head.

THOSE pestiferous Mormons turn
up everywhere. A few days ago two
of them were preaching in Union
town and here is what the Democrat
says about them: Two young men
calling themselves elders of the
Mormon church were holding forth
on the street, on salvation generally,
and according to the tenets of the
Church of Jesus Christ OF Latter
Day Saints in particular. A gentle
man talked there on the subject OF
polygamy, and after considerable
talk could only get from them that
they did not preach that item OF
Mormonism. "Then," said their
questioner, 'clean up your dirt be
fore you come preaching here" The
pamphlets these two men distributed
outline their creed, and one article
specifically states, after expressing
belief in the Bible being inspired,
I'VE also believe the Book of Nor
mon to be an inspired book" That
book sanctions polygamy as it is
carried on to-day

THE FIRST BILL
Passed by House Abolishes Pub
lie Hanging

Executions Have Formerly Been Pub.
lie Except in Ohio County-The Ward.
en- OF The Peniteneiary to Hereafter
Act as Executioner-Few People 10
Be Present An Excellent Act Which
VIII Likely Pass the Senate.
The regular gust of laws good and
bad has begun to come out In the leg
islature. The first bill to go through
the house was No. 5, introduced by
Mr.. Darst of Ohio county, and pro-
yiding for the execution of all death
sentences at the Moundsville peniten-
tiary. The object of the bill is TO do
away with public hangings which
have recently disgraeed the state. In
all counties OF the state except Ohio,
all hangings have been public. Ohio
county is the only one where the pro-
prieties have been observed, and exc
cutions conducted privately instead of
being made the occasion for public
holiday.
The bill amends sections 0 and 10
OF chapter 100 of the Code by requir-
ing that the mode of execution shall
be by hanging blythe neck, and the war
den OF the penitentiary or a deputy
warden shall be the executioner.
Such punishment shall be inflicted
only within the walls OF the West
Virginia penitentiary within an en-
closure TO be prepared for that pur-
pose under the direction OF the war
den and the board Of directors OF the
penitentiary and shall be so construct
ed as TO exclude public view.
There shall be present at the execu-
tion besides the officers of the court
such other officers and guards md as
sistants as the officer executing the
sentence shall see 1T. He shall re-
quest the presence of the prosecuting
attorney in said court, the clerk there
of, and twelve respectable citizens, In
Guiding physician and surgeon aud
such representatives, of the press as he
may desire. Others allowed to be
present are the counsel OF the convict,
ministers Of the gospel and con-
vict's relatives so far as is prudent.
The warden shall receive $75 for each
execution to be paid out Of any fund
appropriated for the penitentiary.
The remainder of the bill Is the same
as the present law. The act is TO
take effect and be in force on and
after next July |, but does not apply
to sentences OF death made previous
20 that time.

A brilliant young man thirty years
ago, was beginning to form the habit
Of indulgence in the wine cup. He
knew that other men were drunkards
but he felt that he himself was strong
and would never be anything but
clear-eyed and strong Of nerve and
firm of flesh. The years went by.
He has bad honor and position. He
has become drunkard, with it all,
and his honors have been nothing.
Whiskey and wine have done for him
what they have done for all the rest,
and what they will do for all who are
foolish enough to be deceived by them.
If he could he would deter young men
from following in his footsteps, but
he will not influence them. They will
think of him simply as an old drunkard
and say that he was fool not to have
controlled himself a little. And they
will follow him on to death. Herald

so it is said, that he has the best
brigade in the first army corps, and
that the First West Virginia is the
best regiment in his brigade. Gen
eral Ludlow, our former division
commander, wanted to take his divi
sion with him to Cuba, and General
| Wilson, commander of the first ar
my corps, in writing protest against
the mastering out of this regiment,
stated that 1T was the cream of the
volunteer armyn We enlisted to dc
our duty, and we have done it. By
hard work the regiment was gotten
in condition for any army service,
and it has always been ready to
comply with any order. Had the ord
er been to go to Cuba we would have
willingly obeyed, and when it came
to go home we do no. hesitate in
our preparations to comply with it. !"
