Increase in Wages.

Parkersburg, w. Va, May 1.-As
the men employed by the Standard
Oil Company went to work this morn
ng they were confronted with notice
which informed them, starting May l,
they would receive an increase in
wages. The increase will be based on
10 hours pay for 8 hours work, and
men working in shifts of ~ hours each
will receive an increase of 10 per cent.
1t is hard to estimate what this means
20 the laboring class of West Virginia
As the Standard employs more men
.han any other corporation doing bus
ness in the state, and the increase will
consequently affect several thousand
men and boys.

Re.MaiIed Letters.

Toledo, o., May / The game Of
people sending letters here addressed
20 the Postmaster, and inclosing a sec
and letter inside the oater envelope
with instructions to mail tine same
here. has been spoiled. Thousands of
letters have been received here an
nually by the Postmaster from every
state in the union with the request that
the inside letter be mailed from here
to the address written on the envelope.
certain amount of suspicion has
always clung to these kind of letters.
and the postal authorities were of the
opinion that they contained nothing
good when they would be sent here
from New Orleans and other distant
places to be mailed They came to the
conclusion that thieves and other
criminals made use of this system to
throw the authorities off their scent.
The Postmaster, heretofore mailed
the letters as requested and to all ap-
pearances they showed that the writer
was in Toledo and mailed it here
when in reality the letter may have
came from San Francisco.
Now the Postmaster stamps all such
inclosed letters with his personal
stamp and makes notation in writing
underneath the stamp that the letter
was received inclosed from a certain
town, giving its name and from a GER
tain person, giving name, with the re-
quest that it be mailed here.

One Missionary's Mission.

A missionary who is not delegat,
to the Ecumenical Conference reached
New York last week and avoweG
frankly that his mission to this coun-
try was to convert Americans from ice
water to light wines. He had neve
been here before, and he had only 2
vague idea of the oountry's size, bu
ne had many books of travel in Amer.
lea written by Engl!shmen. No Eng
lishman ever wrote a book on this
country without bringing out the fact
that Americans drink ice water. This
missionary came to the conclusion that
we drink too much ice water, and be-
ing in the wine business in the south
of Europe he has come here to save Us
from 1t. 1T is your national vice.

llshman speaks of It. am going to

and few were able to surmount the
barriers placed in their way by those
who considered such aspirations outside
woman's sphere. But in this instance
courage and determination won. and Miss
Wanous was graduated from rhe Mime
apolis College in 1892, the second young
woman to receive a diploma in that
profession in America. For three years
she acted as drug clerk in one of the
large stores of her city, and in 1896, with
an unlimited supply of courage and self
confidence, a goodly amount of absorbent
cotton and $40. saved from her earnings.
Miss Wanous opened store on her own
account. and one claimed by physicians
OF her city 10 be a model drug store.

Miss Wanous carries on her business
in a physicians building and enjoys the
implicit confidence OF the members of
the medical profession of her city. She
has 4 large prescription practice and
devotes a great deal of her time to
toilet articles of her own manufacture
No cigars are sold in her store, no soda
water and no patent medicines. Miss
WanouS now has her sister with her
as assistant So successful and progres-
size has her undertakings been that Miss
Wanus has been able to give her two
brothers university education. and they
are both practicing physicians in Mime
apoIis.
Five years ago Miss Wauous became
a member of the American Pharmaceuti-
cal Association. and at the convention
