A Good Show.

The large audience that witnessed
the production of "The Trip to China
town" last night at the Opera House
were more than pleased with the per-
Torrance. The jokes and songs were
new, the specialties were very fine, the
costumes delightful and the members
of the company were everything that
they should be. Morgantown deserv-
es more shows of this class and will
patronize them if given the oppor-
tunity.

Fifty Deaa.
THURMoND, w. Va, March 14--At
o'clock this morning the body OF
Charles Perfator was taken from the
Red Ash mine. Another thorough
search of the nine was made to-day
for the body of Edward Hambrick but
it could not be found. 1T is supposed
to be beneath mass OF slate and it
will probably never be located. No
furthes search will be made for the
present.
Forty-nine bodies Is the exact num-
Der recovered from the mine, besides
three victims who are still living.
All the bodies taken out have been
buried, and the excitement in this
field over the awful horror is decreas-
ing rapidly. The relief fund for fam
lilies of the disaster has reached al
most 800 and all are being amply
cared for at present. BY tomorrow
all the mines In the district will be In
operation again.

BASEBALL BOYS.
Get Out of Doors For Their
First Practice.
Prospects For Eastern Games Very
Poor-Trip May Hardly Take Place
Western Schedule Easier Games
With Wheeling And w. & j. Already
Arranged-OtherN Notes.

The University base ball boys who
have been pratieing in the gymnasium
for some weeks have at last been able
to get out of doors The first practice
out Of doors was Eeld on Tuesday
afternoon. A large number of men
were out but more are expected to
come out later. There will be no lack
Of material from which TO select a
team this year.
The men will be looked after by
Prof. Printz and he will get all out of
them that there is in them. The
prospects for winning team were
never brighter but they are afraid
that they will not be able to get any
games to show their mettle. Thu
eastern trip on which So much had
been staked will likely not take place
Last year the men went east and
made great reputation through the
showing that they made in that sec
tion against the best teams in the
business. This year the manager
finds that the colleges wanted have
all filled their schedules on account of
ours having waited until SO late and
that games cannot be arranged with
them.
At the western end of it however it
will be easier and a number of con-
tests will be arranged throughout
Ohio with the best in that section of
the country. The games with the
Wheeling and with W. & J. are the
best outside of the western games
that have been arranged. We are
hopeful that one game with the wash
ington lads will be played here.
Bowman the Preston county twirler
will remain in school until June first
and together with Dent and PrintZ
will form the pitching staff. This
shows that this department will be in
first class hands. The rest of the
team will be as good and there is moth
ing to prevent having the best organ
ization ever seen on the local dia
mond.

Novel Warfare on Saloons.

The temperance people Of Aurora,
Ills, have framed plan which they
think will rid the city Of the saloons.
Heretofore it has been impossible to
get majority vote in favor Of no IL
cense, partly because of the large sum,
from s35, 900 to $4,000, which the sa-
looms pay into the city treasury each
year.
The new scheme, which has received
the Endorsement of the local Associa-
ton Of Evangelical Ministers, is to
raise fund equal to the amount of sa-
loon license for one year, with which
to reimburse the city for the loss of
the license If the saloons should be
abolished. With this understanding
the question will be submitted to pop
ular vote at the annual city election in
1901. This will give year in which
to raise the money and to work up
public sentiment.
Aurora at present has 81 saloons
confined to the business district and
paying license tax of $1,000 each

Speaker Likes Champagne.

Senator Henderson drinks four or
five pints Of champagne day while
Oresiding over the House of Represen-
atives. 1t is not that the proceedings
OF the House weary Mr.. Henderson.
that he enjoys the beverage. 1t is his
custom to eat a very light luncheon.
This usually consists of crackers and
milk and champagne. The Speaker
drinks nothing but the French vlnt-
age. A bottle of wine always accomp-
anies even the most frugal repsst.
While transacting business in his pri-
vate room he frequently sends for
more wine. This is in direct contrast
to the regime of Speaker Reed, who
was most abstemious.
When at banquet Mr.. Henderson
declines all wines except champagne.
1t must be said for Speaker Henderson
that whether he takes champagne be-
cause of his liking for 1t, or as medi-
clnal stimuant, he is never the worse
for indulgence.--St. Louis Post-Dls-
patch.

Penniless Are Many Ameri-
cans In Cuba.

Washington, April 2.-The War De-
partment has been obliged to sound a
note Of warning to restrain overconfi-
dent Americans from fiocking into
Cuba without resources. General
Wood has made this a matter Of spec
ial representations to Secretary Root
He reports that there are quite num-
ber OF such Americans completely
stranded in Cuba whom he is unable to
relieve, His suggestion was that the
department authorize him to ship
them back to the United States ON the
army transports, but so far Secretary
Root has not been able ia see how he
can do this. According to the advices
received by the department. Cuba is no
place for a man without money. With
some capital there is large opportun-
ity for returns, but otherwise even
willing workingmen and clerks cannot
secure employment and must soon
come TO grief.

Our Debt to Sunshine.

While the mineral and forest re-
sources of the United States are mar
velous the greatest of boons is the
splendid soil and climate possessed by
the country. In 1899 the farm animals
Of the United States were worth ST.
500,000,000. They will be worth more
by the figures Of the census Of this
year unless all signs are at fault; for
there has been marked increase
of farm interests in the ten year. The
United States is the only great pork
producing country in the world, nearly
so per cent. of the entire pork crop
being reased here. An article from
the Bureau of Statistics at Washing.
ton on the provision trade of the
United States shows that this country
is the chief exporter of wheat corn
meat, pork products and the princi-
pal food products consumed by mod
ern civilized peoples. Grass, corn anc
wheat afford export possibilities, the
hog being product of corn, and beei
being product OF the native grasses.
The export values in 1899 of animals
was $50, ,000,0 900; of corn products s70,.
100000: of wheat and -four $3.50, ,000..
0O0 of provisions, which includes
packed and smoked hog products
SITS. 100000. Occasionally fear is ex
pressed that the enormous exports CT
agricultural products will deplete the
soil. But the fear is groundless, for
meat is the result Of working over q
vegetable starch and the starch is the |
creation Of the sun, the raw materia' |
being the carbonic acid gas abstract
ed from the air. The small amount OF |
lime, phosphates and mineral constit- |
ueats are easily replaced by intelligen
fertilization, and it will take thous- |
ands of years to rob the soil so that l.
will cease to produce abundance of tho |
few things needed, or which cannot be
easily provided. The sun and the all
and the soil are the great resources o.
the country.--Pittsburg Times.

A Great CORRESPONDENT.

Archibald Forbes, who was 62 at the
time of his death in London the Other
day. is conceded by all his contempor.
aries TO have been the greatest of wal
correspondents. He was himself 2
strategist of no mean qualifications
and could interpret battle like a gen,
eral. Danger never daunted him; he
loved it, and was mere at home on thu
battle field than anywhere else. He
did some marvellous work at the seige
OF Plevna; but his greatest feat was
his reporting of the battle OF Ulund
in Zululand, when he rode 120 miles
through the enemy's country to carry
the message that was the first news of
the British victory.

System BY Which a Village Of
Millionaires Is Governed.

The village OF Lawrence. situated in
the western part of the town OF Hemp
stead, L. l., and on the Greater New
York boundary line, for It's size one of
the wealthiest communities in the
state. has unique and very economl-
cal system OF municipal government.
1t includes among its residents Russell
Sage, the Lords. Hinckleys, Lawrences
and a score of other families whose
names are as familiar to New Workers.
ls Vanderbilt or Guod.
The village population numbers
less than 1000. but its assessed prop
erty valuation is enormous, reaching
several millions. 1t has 40 residents,
whose property assessments alone
shows a valuation of more than $780,
900.
No money is spared for public i'm
provements. and today the finest side
walks, ,driveways and other accessories
that go to make up an ideal village are
in vogue.
The village government is conduct.
ed on an economical basis, nearly all
the officials serving without salary.
The Clerk, Treasurer and Collector
receive their fees. When village Off
GERS are to be chosen, no names are
printed on the ballots, because no
party nominations are made and there
are not enough votes in the district to
form an independent ticket. The cit
izens generally are of one mind as to
whom they want to govern their af-
fairs and all the voting is done in the
blank column on the ticket.
John l.. Lawrence, member of the
family whence the village derives its
name, is usually elected President.
This happaned last week. The others
were George Hewlett, Trustee; James
Baker, Treasurer; William e. Foote,
Collector.
No community ever conducted an
election with more simplicity and har-
mony. There were no workers at the
polls and no efforts made to bring out
voters. About 80 of the millionaire
citizens drove up to the voting place,
and wrote in the blank column the
names of the men mentioned above.
A proposition to bond the village for
100000 to pave the principal streets
and avenues with Peekskill gravel was
carried almost unanimously Only 25
votes were cast, the smallest vote on
record in New York state, compared
with the population of the distrist
A proposition to raise $1,000 by
taxes for the purpose of procuring an
assessment map was also carried by a
vote of 10 to 8.
In all their deliberations for the
welfare of the village, few, if any, dis
sensions arise among the residents, and
progress has been unstinted. Law
renee today is considered one of the
finest villages on Long Island, and the
unselfshness of its wealthy citizens
has contributed largely to that condi-
tion.-New York Journal.
