Fulfilled His Mission.

Archibald Forbes, the famous war
was correspondent who really knew
something about war He had partic-
ipated in many important campaigns
and from the very first of his exper-
ience showed an aptitude for intelli-
gent writing concerning his chosen
theme. Unhapplly this has not been
the case with many sc-called war cor
respondents" of recent years whose
productions have contained everything
but reliable news OF the movements of
the armies they have accompanied, and
whose speculations and comments
have given no evidence whatever that
their authors ever studied even the
First Book of History" Mr. Forbes
was not soldier, but he encountered
the same and even greater risks hard
ships than if he had been one. He
gave to a waiting world early and ac-
curate information of important and
heroic deeds. direct from the scenes
in which they were accomplished, and
later in times of peace delighted and
instructed many by again recounting
them.
AS long as war exists mankind will
take an interest in II and so long will
there be an important nilsson for the
war correspondent to perform. And
he who understakes that mission and
performs it faithfully and well, is
entitled to due need of honor even
though he wears but the modest garb
of mere civilian amid all the uni
formed crowd whose doings he often
indelibly inseribes upon history's most
famous rolls.-Pittsburg Times

West Virginia Lumber Export
ed to England.

Parkersburg, w. Va, March 31.-
Withers and Vandevender, the lumber
men, have over $100.O 900 worth of tim
Der in the Little Kanawha river, and
as fast as it reaches this city, it Is be-
ing shipped to various parts of the
country. Most of the lumber is sold on
board the cars at this point and passes
from their control here.
To the Sentinel Mr.. Withers stated
that large amount of the timber
now ready for shipment is for English
ship builders. 1t consists of oak
sticks, none CT which are less than 30
feet in length and IL inches square on
the ends. Most of the timber con-
signed to the English markets is
much larger than this, some measur-
ing rs inches square on the ends.
This timber is shipped to Pomeroy
by raft, loaded on freight cars and
shipped to England by way of Cleve-
land, Quebec, the St. Lawrence river
and across the Atlantic to Liverpool
This lumber sells at $1.00 cubic foot

About Cecil Rhodes.

a resident Of Vryburg. South Africa,
now temporarily residing at Antwerp,
gives the following interesting opin-
ions as to Cecil Rhodes: "Rhodes, +"
he says, SIS one of those men OF whom
much is said, but who Is very little
known. Believe he has always been a
friend of the real Beers. He was sent
to the Cape Parliament elected by the
Boer party; he was leader Of Boer
Cabinet and voted several laws in IA
vor of the Beers. But ne is ambitious.
He has but one dream, one ideal, and
that is to unite all South Africa under
the English protectorate.
The present political situation, en-
couraged by certain factions in the
Transvaal, is, of course, an obstacle
to the realization of this ideal; so that
Rhodes would have it that the Trans
vaal should be reduced to submission.
He is of peculiar type. He is unaf-
fected and affable, an excellent speak
er and CT the most extraordinary dar-
ing.
In 1894 a Transvaaler named Van
Nieuwkerk, commanding a corps of in
vaders, entered Bechuanaland, ocuc-
pied part of the territory and formed
the Republic of Stellaland Rhodes
asked for troops from the Cape Gov
ernment to get the Beers out. but he
could not get satisfaction. Then he
went alone to the camp of Van Nieu-
wkerk, where he remained fifteen days
1t is not known exactly what he did
but the fact remains that the Beers re-
tired peacefully, and Rhodes became
the godfather of Van Nieuwkerk' S
grandson. Once the Kafflrs of Mata-
beleland revolted, and again Rhodes
went alone into the mountains among
thousands of armed rebels. He talked
with them and showed them his cour-
age, with the result that they laid
down their arms without drop of
blood being shed.
Rhodes influence in South Africa
is simply a colossal, and many are the
legends told about him, for many of
the ignorant believe him to be endow-
ed with superhuman powers The
KafIlrs call him the white father.
Many Boer orators have said to their
people that when Rhodes is master
he will lock up all the Beers in the
cattle pens" Such a description of
Rhodes coming from a Dutchman, is
remarkable, for If ever man was dis
liked by the people of Holland that
man is Cecil Rhodes-Chicago Rec

A Petrified Biscuit.

Anderson, W. Va, Mch. 2S.-Twenty
years ago farmer who resides near
Anderson was plowing in a field too far
from his dwelling to go home to his
dinner, without mourning considerable
loss to his annual dividends. He ate
his noon day meal and fed his team in
the field, One day after he had par
taken of dinner the fragments, includ-
Ing biscuit from which he had bit
ten one mouthful, leaving bold i'm
preston CT his molars upon the un-
consumed part, were thrown into the
furrow and plowed under. Friday last
the farmer, with the same plow, turn
ed up the same biscuit, beautifully pet
rlfied and just as natural as it was a
score of years ago. The farmer be-
lieves that it is more conducive to
longevity for that biscuit to have pet
rified in terra firma than in his intern
al economy, The relic is priced very
highly and will be loaned to the His
torical and Antiquarian Society at
Charleston.

Value of College Training.

President Harper, of the Chicago
University. has very frankly informed
the students of that institution that
the learned professions" law, physlc,
divinity and pedagogy, are crowded,
even to the point of starvation. If,
indeed the only result of college edu-
cation was to still further crowd these
professions, there would be small
cause for congratulation on the con-
stancly increasing attendance of stu
dents at our colleges and seminarles
of higher education. The truth is that
a steadily increasing body of young
men is every year enrolled in these in
stitutions with othe. purposes in view.
College men now hold foremost posi-
tions in journalism, literature, art,
architecture, agriculture and engineer
ing in all its branches. These men,
and those who have succeeded them in
college culture for its intrinsic worth
and fer the better equipment it i'm
imparts in the attainment of life's
Purposes. A college course teaches the
value of concentration. With con-
centration it is impossible to make the
most of ones self in this world of
struggle and competition. 1t imprints
on the mind a character of steadiness
and self-control tina. never be wholly
effaced. 1t enables a man to know
himself and, by enabling him to know
himself, guides him to his proper
place in life. 1t imparts accuracy that
no mere random book reading can
give. But its chief duty lies in the de-
velopment OF character. Character
building is the first aim and chief pur-
pose Of the true educator. Without
character to develop, to vitalize and to
strengthen there could be no training
Of the smallest value to the individual
or to society at large attained. 1t is,
we believe, because of its value in this
direction that college culture is being
more widely sought. Nor is there any
doubt that in the coming century
thousands Of young men intending to
devote themselves to agriculture, en-
gineering and natural sciences will
seek the benefits of college life and in
fuences. Every college student does
not, in TRUTH come up, in after life, to
early expectations, but this is not the
fault of the training received within
college walls. but because OF mental
and moral conditions proper to the
indivual himself, or to surroundings
from which he cannot or will not, ex-
tricate himself.-Commercia Trlb-

The unfortunate mental condition OF
ex-Warden G. G. James, OF Jackson.
has resulted in the Issue of an order
for his commitment to the Athens asy-
lum. 1t is claimed by those who are
in position to know something of the
matter that his breakdown is the re-
suit of disappointed political ambition,
although II is also known that while
he was in charge of the Ohio peniten-
tiary he gave evidence of mental
lapses. Years ago Mr.. James was one
of the Republicans leaders in Jackson
county, but within recent years he has
lost his hold on affairs, and the news
of his commitment to the Athens
asylum was no surprise to those who
knew something of his mental condi-
tlon. 1t is doubtful, fro mthe best in
formation at hand, whether he ever

A Shift in Values.

Perhaps the talk of coming half
cents may not result in anything for a
long time, yet it is likely that were
they to be coined again the coinage
would not be discontinued. as it was
years, ago. In a new country the fash
ion is for larger coins. Until lately
if the custom does not still prevail,
the smallest coin in the mountain
states of the west was dime, which
for convenience was taken for fifteen
cents. Anything less than % cents in
price sold for one bit, which is half of
25 cents, and a dime paid it. or dime
was given in change if a quarter was
rendered in payment In California
the nickel had gained some recogni-
tion. But in Nevada the price of a
paper from boy was a bit. In the
East the cent has been recognized, and
few persons are adverse to taking
their change in three or four pennies.
The Californian who buys a paper in
Pittsburg, looks upon it as joke that
boy gives him anything back, and he
scorns to receive the trifling coins.
Once the Californian had no use for
anything less than a silver quarter.
But the cent is conquering the country
because it pays. Many a transaction
now turns on the value OF the half
cent, and it is a dispute as to who
gets the odd half. We may even get
10 the fine divisions that the old world
recognizes, where man with a hand
full of baser coins has hardly enough
value to be worth counting, but that
is far in the future. The one cent
paper has established the cent as a
coin wherever the paper is printed
cent has come to be realized as a coin
worth saving, and should we have the
half cent new, with our habits to clos
er economy which comes as the coun-
tr ygrows older, the half cent would
probably make a place for ITSELF

About the Old Court House.

Several days since the Leader asked
for information concerning the cor
ner stone Of the old Court House
and its possible contents. Yesterday
we received a communication on the
subject from Mrs. c. J. Mcintosh, Of
Beverly. which we publish 'as follows:
Editor Leader-I canot tell wheth-
er there were any documents deposited
in the corner stone OF the Court House
now standing, or not; but there was
great fuss about the location of the
building.
In those days handbills were not
often seen, but one morning great far
ing bills were found scattered all over
town, with a house in the centre, and
great cables at each end with long
teams OF oxen, some being driven one
way, and others the opposite. Those
trying to get the house down street
wer headed by Joseph Holden, d. H.
Buell., James NJ. Booth and many 9TH
ers; those trying to take it to the
Elevated Square" where they wanted
1t placed were led by Col Ichabod
Nye, DR.. Nathan Mcintosh, Maj. John
Clark, Royal Prentice and many 9TH
ers Each one screaming, hallowlng
and whipping their oxen and making
all the noise imaginable.
Around the house, very complacent-
ly, looking on with their hands in their
pockets, and seeming to enjoy the
fun, stood DR.. S. P. Hildreth, Dudley
Woodbridge. Silas Cooke. Col. Joseph
Barker and others.

spoke up the office boy.
After putting the question to every
body within reach, without getting a
satisfactory answer. the general opln-
ion was that there was something
wrong with the calendar. The office
boy dug up an ecclesiastical encyclo-
pedia and found that Lent is 40 fast
days long, Sundays not being included
That is why the season of Lent ex-
tends over 46 days. The Office boy is
now making bets on his own account.

Wanted-Houses.

In order to illustrate the fact that
there is great need of residence prop
erty in this city, we quote a statement
made by clerk in one of the storage
companies Offices to the effect that
their company now has in storage, the
household goods Of seventy families,
many of whom were unable to find
houses to rent.

contractor stated no, long ago that he
bad contracts for building twenty
houses this spring and that they were

Battle Of the Sexes.

Beatty, Kan. March 31.--A peculiar
political condition exists here. The
Mayor and all other town officers are
women, having been elected year
ago. They are now candidates for re-
election. Opposed to them is ticket
composed entirely OF men having been
nominated by citizens mass meeting
The campaign between the women and
the men, which end in the. election
next Monday, has been full of vlgor
and during the last few days intense
feeling has manifested itself on boht
sides.
Households have become divided
over the campaign, the father against
the mother, the son against the daugh-
ter. Several permanent family es-
arrangements are said to have resulted.
Church organizations are torn by in
ternal dissensions and the town gem
orally is thoroughly torn up.
Aside from the matter of sex and
the personality of the candidates, the
issue involved in the ELECTION of next
Monday is the question whether the
town shall be run on strict prohi-
bition policy, as it has been during the
last year, or whether it shall be run
on liberal policy, have licensed sa-
looms, gambling rooms and the like.
The women of the town favor the
former policy and are pledged to
throw the town wide open" If elect.

The prospects for Republican vic
tory tomorrow at the polls are very
bright On the face of things a nor
NAL Republican plurality of 450 in the
city exists, and that same plurality
is going to be a hard thing to over
throw. Beside this plurality from
which Messrs. Bohl and Richardson
may make some draft, Mr.. Sykes can
surely count on many Democratic
friends supporting him. Mr.. Sykes is
friend-maker among the people gen.
orally, and he can safely count on
support which is not within the party.
The ticket as a whole is good one,
and Of necessity, for each member was
filtered through one of the most active
city conventions ever held in the city
OF Marietta. The Republican party is
not going to put itself behind a man
or set of men who are not worthy OF
its support.
The ticket headed by the eagle most
assuredly has the best chance as 1t
should have. for it has what the other
lacks-that is form. It's purpose, too,
is for the betterment Of city affairs
and conditions, and for the creation
Of party responsibility.

Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-04-01

To show how Mr.. Sykes the Republi-
can candidate for Mayor has interest
ed himself in Marietta and her affairs,
we would refer to the fact that he has
been instrumental in bringing to Ma
rietta several institutions of a busi-
ness and industrial nature which are
beneficial to the interests of the city
in general. These institutions are
paying to good many men wages
which are attractive in their degree of
generosity and which are going to last.
That Mr.. Sykes has been a
very considerable instrument in
the securing and promoting of these
substantial concerns is beyond con-
tradiction; and Furthermore he is
stockholder in several of them.
