Belpre Girl Dead.

A telegram was received at the Pat
ton home in Belpre today that con-
tanned the announcement of the sud
den death Of Mrs. Mayme Levengood,
formerly Miss Patton, which sad event
occurred at her home at Mentor, a
small suburb OF Cleveland The news
was great shock to the family and
friends in Belpre. Only week ago
Mr.. Leyengood died of the same di-
sease, pneumonia. Mrs. Leyengood
was sister of architect W. H. Patton
and Mrs. Lee w. Hughes, of this city
The remains will arrive in Belpre to-
morrow. The arrangements for the
funeral services and interment have

American Money to the Tune
Of a Million Dollars Taken
Home by the Castellanes.

Count Boni de Castellane, accomp-
aried by the Countess, sailed away for
France on La Gascogne with nothing
but compliments for America and
vowing swift and awful vengeance up
on De Roday's, Figaro's editor.
II shall challegne De Rodays to fight
me duel as soon as my 100000 franc
suit for libel against him is decided" /"
said the Count. "If he refuses to
fight l will break his bones-yes, l will
br-r-r-eak his bones! I don't know
hat | would have him apologize. He
has trampled my good name in the
dust so assiduously that | must get
some satisfaction.
"If l can't get the coward to fight,
l will go after him in the American
fashion, for am l net half an Ameri-
can?"
The going of the Castellanes was in
sinking contrast to their arrival a
month ago There to bid them good
bye were all the Goulds save Howard
and his wife. Not one was at the
pier when they came.
The Counts face was wreathed in
smiles, for his visit had not been in
vain. He had got wnat he came after
money The Count had succeeded in
securing a loan from the brothers and
sisters of his wife, amounting to more
than $1,OOO,OO0.
1t was not without much difficulty,
however, Mat he did so. It was only
few days ago that after many con-
terences and much discussion, he was
finally successful.
Although he declared in many inter
Views that he did not come to America
for money, Count de Castellane was
much more frank in dealing with the
relatives of his wife. They knew in
advance of his coming that he stood
in pressing need of funds. The news
OF his extravaganza in Paris caused
the GOODNESS between him and the
Countess and George and Helen Could
The Count was of the opinion when
he arrived that IL would be an easy
matter to arrange with the Gould es-

Secretary of Commerce.

"A favorable report has been made
upon the bill creating department of
Commerce. Sentiment in both
branches Of Congress seemingly favors
the proposition. This means a new
member of the Cabinet. The legisla-
tion may not be concluded until the
second session, but it appears probable
the President will have the additional
member Of his official family before he
enters upon his second term. Among
other members Of the Cabinet there is
an impression that the new place may
be filled by transfer and that the va
cancy to be supplied from the outside
may be in one of the old secretary
ships. This impression is prompted
by the fact that the Cabinet now in
cludes a member who, by the common
opinion of his colleagues, would make
an ideal Secretary of Commerce. This
member is Secretary Hitchcock. His
twelve years residence and engage
ment in mercantile life in China, his
diplomatic service as Ambassador at
St. Petersburg, his long connection
with manufacturing industries in this
country. these all go to make him
qualified to discharge the duties of
department which will be one of the
most important in the government, and
which in its organization and forma-
tive state will call for just such exper-
ience and information as Mr.. Hitch
cock possesses. To the new depart
ment will be transferred some Of the
most important bureaus of the govern
ment, including several which are now
attached to the secretary's department
that OF the interior.

Planting Trees Along High
ways.

Huntville, Mo. Feb. 10.-Having
written an article on planting trees
ON both sides of public roads. which
was published in your paper, and hav-
ing read an answer to the same, favor
ing the planting of trees in the mid
die of the road, which think very
good Idea from his standpoint or view
in favor of the farmers, that think
should be sufficient reason to proceed
with the discussion according to his
plan. 1t is true as stated by him, that
trees planted in the center of the road
would be better in case of a storm, as
the other side of the road by crossing
ever between the trees in case tree
should be blown down on the side
where he was driving, or when there
was any danger of trees falling on
him or in case the heat should be op-
presslve, he could choose the shady
sire; but in parts OF this vast country
where they do not raise any particular
kind OF grain, or do much farming Of
any kind, where only wild grasses
grow and stock raising is the main
business, there l would think that
trees planted on both sides of the road
would be an improvement in various
ways. They would afford a grateful
shade to many poor way-worn travel
ers and herders of stock, and every
time they rested beneath their
branches would be a reminder to them
OF the paternal care of the govern
ment over them. And thus, like a
telegraph line, these trees could be
made to extend alclg every public
read in the United States, resulting in
keeping the roads dry by taking up
the moisture and the roots helping t1
keep the soil compact. In places
wher timber lis scarce the superfluouS
trees could be used for bridges and
general road repairs, which would be
great saving Thus. II the people
could see that the improvements were
really for permanent public benetit,ev
interest in making it a success. Ev.
erybody would be interested in the
prompt collection OF the road tax, ant
know of nothing that would be more
satisfactory to the general public thar
to force large aggregatlons of capita
to disgorge some Of its earnings fol
the improvement OF the wagon roads
Thus, in a few yeals, there might eX-
tend all over the country, even across
the barren and desolate plains, lines oi
green trees along good, substantial
highways. In such places it might
require streams of water to make the
tres grow, and who knows but that
such system might be the harbingel
of the time when the desert shall be
made to blossom as the rose" and thus
open up new works for men, who are
crowded out of other occupations
through competition with machinery
and the centration of business by com
blnes and trusts. And why should
not public institution like the high
ways and irrigation and water power
be utilized by the government for pub
lie benefit by a scientifis and com
prehensive system of improvement
having in view several well-defined
| purposes.-Cor. Globe Democrat.

River News.

All reports from the up-rlver points
show the rivers are steadily falling.
The Allegheny river Is putting out
quantities of heavy ice. No coal ship
ments were made yesterday. 1t is con-
sidered probable that the period of in
activity will last for several days.
Another rise is expected within week
or so and preparations are being made
by the shippers to take advantage of
it.-Pittsburg Times.
The Muskingum is frozen over as
the result of Monday nights GOODNESS
and the Sonoma is tied up at Beverly
where she will remain until the ice
goes out.
AT 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
stage at the local wharf was ten feet
and the river was falling slowly. Con-
siderable ice is going down, but riv-
ermen do not fear freeze-up owing
TO the rise in temperature yesterday
and the prediction of warm wave to-
day
The Ben Hur went down at noon
and passed en- her return trip to Pitts

WARS Of VICTORIA SREIGN
RECORD OF SIXTY TWO YEARS
WARFARE.
British Temple OF Janus Has Never
Had its Doors Shut for More Than a
Few Months.

Although the reign Of Queen Victoria
has not been marred by any prolonged
or serious war, excepting, perhaps. the
present campaign and the Crimean in
cident, II is, nevertheless, a fact that
throughout the sixty-two years which
have elapsed since she assembled the
throne, the crack of the rifle has never
been absent from British dominions.
In 1888, 1899 and 1S40 Britain was en-
gagged in warfare with Afghanistan
and in 1S4l the campaign known as
the First China War was carried on
amid much hardship. This was fol-
lowed by the Kafhr war IN 1886, while
in 1S4S-49 the english were fighting the
skins, very fine race OF men, who now
help to form one of Englands most adj
mirable Indian corps.
In 1850 the war broke out in Burmah,
and in 1851 the British forces were once
again engaged with worrying Kaffirs.
In 1852 Burmah was again the scene
of warlilte operations, while in the year
1854 there commenced the most terri
Bile campaign of the present century in
point of hardship, namely, the Crimean
war, In this case the British were
aided by the French, who fought gall
lantly side by side with the Britishers
No sooner had the British forces dis
posed of the trouble in Russia than
I,they were summoned away to China,
where fierce encounter with the Chi
nese took place in 1868, and about
this time the terrible Indian mutiny
broke out, leaving peace established in
India at the end of the year 1857.
The Maoris next occupied England's
attention in the year 1860 and although
they were given a severe beating at
the time, they broke out again between
1863 and 1866.
War with Looshaie was carried on in
the year 1871, this being followed by
the Ashantee campaign in 1873 In 1877
| the British troops were once more
fighting the Kaffirs, while between 1878
and 1879 the 1ulus gave Great Britain
great deal of bother, and Cetewayo
doomed large on the horizon.
In Afghanistan war broke. out once
more I'm 1878, and was waged on and
off until 1880, and about the same period
Tommy Atkins was practising upon the
Basutos In another part Of the Dark
Continent.
The Transvaal war begin in 1879. and
ended in 1881. when Mr.. Gladstone
signed the treaty which has since given
rise to so much controversy. A year
later the Egyptian campaign was in fun
swing, and 1t was at this period that
the bombardment of Alexandria took
place.
The war in Soudan goes back
as far as 1884, while in 1885 the
British forces were once more fight
ing the Burmese. In 1890 there was con-
siderable fighting at Zanzibar, and be-
tween 1894 and 1896 the Matabele cam
paign which will be fresh in the minds
of most readers, was carried on with
much energy.
The Chitral campaign in 1895, the
third Ashantee war in 1897 together
with the present war in the Transvaal,
conclude the series of campaigns.

LAW IN EGYPT


Malcolm McIlwraith, judicial adviser
to the Khedive of Egypt, has just pub
lished in Cairo the report of his depart
ment for 1899. According to this report,
although the number of civil cases
shows an increase of 20 per cent over
the previous year, crime has diminish
ed. The experiment introduced a year
ago of placing petty cases within the
jurisdiction of the village judiciary has
been found to work satisfactorily.
Evidence Of the loss of supremacy of
French as the legal language of Egypt
is said TO be shown in the reorganiza-
ton the Khedival School of Law
Heretofore a thorough knowledge of
French was required of students
Henceforth English will be the Ian
guage of the school, although pupils
will be required to learn French, as
the literature that they must consult is
almost exclusively in the latter Ian
guage.
The Jurisdiction of the mixed tribun-
ais, which has been prolonged for an
other twelve months, has undergone
several important changes. The facil-
ity which formerly existed for remov-
ing cases from the native to the mixed
courts by fictitious transfers of rights
to foreigners has been restricted. Hith-
erto, also, Egypt has been considered
an ideal country for foreigners who
wished to become fraudulent bankrupts.
They could generally leave the country
with considerable property after maxi
ing the declaration of bankruptcy. Now
the powers Of the criminal courts have
been extended to cover bankruptcy cas-
es. Moreover, a decree has been passed
providing that a bare majority is suf-
ficient for all decisions taken by the
Caisse de la Dette, except for those re-
lating to military expenditure.
