At the public school in North Ben
wood there are now over two hundred
pupils and the attendance is increasing
daily. This is exceedingly encourag-
ing to those interested in the work,
considering the fact that there were
fears that the attendance would de-
crease this term owing TO the changes
in this part of the town for the River
side improvements. About a half
dozen houses have SO far been torn
down, and more than twice as many
new buildings have been erected IN
different places. There is yet sufficient
building room not desired by the Ma
tional Tube Company that would serve
to enable a considerable increase in the
present population Of the ward.

the erect of making all corporation
lobbyists a unit in their opposition to
the amended bill. And 1t was general
ly pretty we'll under stood that if it
should get through the Senate 1t would
require only the slightest opposition to
prevent it again passing the House,
where it would now have to receive the
affirmative vote of a majority of all the
members elect and would not proba-
bly, be reached in the regular ours of
the calendar, as only one or two days
of the session remained and one Of
the appropriation bills had yet passed.
In this state of things an understand
ing was arrived at between certain Re-
publican senators and the Democratic
minority, and on the next day, Febru-
airy 21st, this coalition succeeded by
sheer strength of numbers in reconsid-
ering the Senate's previous action, so as
to get the bill taxing express companies
Oh. B. 217) back in the same shape in
which it came from the House, and
her ordered it to it's engrossment and
third reading. On the next day, in spite
of coL-inued opposition, the bill was
passed and directed to take effect on
April LIST, as had been done in the
House. On the passage Of the bill every
vote of the ten recorded against it was
cast by a Republican, and of the fif-
teen in favor of it six were Republicans
and nine Democrats, or the entire
Democratic membership of the Senate.
On February 21st, after the amend
ments to the House bill had been re-
considered, Senate bill 10 was passed by
the Senate as a separate measure, but
it does not appear to have ever been
taken up in the House, while Senate
bill LII by Ostenton, Democrat, the fell
low to House bill PIT, was allowed to
linger quietly on the Senate calendar.
Those who had thus united to force

their place along with other corpora
lions in the payment of taxes were
quite jubilant over this victory, but
the event showed that they had reck-
oned without their host, for after adj
iournmnt the Governor quietly nulli-
fed the action of the two houses by an
executive veto, and the net result of the
sessions work, as far as any additional
taxation of corporations is concerned,

introduce on this subjct, but none of
them appear to have been pressed very
ardently. The Governors veto it is
understood was, mainly based upon the
ground that the act singled out express
companies as an object of special taxa
ton. in contravention of the Constitu-
tional provision that taxation should be
general. equal and uniform.
Whatever be the cause, it is quite
plain that it is a difficult matter to sub
ject corporations to a method of taxa
ton TO which they are strongly OPP
posed. Extreme views in either direc-
ton it would seem are to be avoided I'M
der the penalty of the entire measure
failing at some stage of its progress
with, as in the above instance, q great
and needless waste of legislative time
is the only visible result.

POINT PLEASANT, ". Va, October
5.-the meeting announced for last
night at the LUurt House, to be adj
dressed by Ton. Stuart Walker, OF Mar
tinsburg, was a greater success in num-
bers than was anticipated.
The court room was crowded to it's
utmost capacity by people from the
town and IRON many parts of the coun-
try, n among the vast crowd were
many ladies, whose presence lent a
charm to the meeting.
Promptly at 1880 p. N. the Holt-Col-
Inns marching club, TO the lumber OF
sevenCy-tive or more, fully uniformed,
headed by the Point Pleasant band,
marched to the Phoenix hotel, and
forming in line escorted the speaker to
the Court House. Z

named lion. h. K. howard as chairman
for the evening.

Mr.. Wiley, and in a very pretty and
telling speech accepted the honor thus
conferred upon him, and his speech
was frequently %applauded. he then
introduced Mr.. Walker, who was 70
ceiyed with an ovation lasting Tor two
or three minutes.
MIR. Walker then began his speech
by saying that he was not there to use
harsh language or to make an attack
upon Republicans, but to appeal to the
patriotism OF the people who desired
the peTpetuity of our tree institutions.
lie said the question OF imperialism
o~vershadowed every other issue, for>if
it was not headed off by the patriotic
people of America our country super
structure would crumble.
Ills speech was an earnest and elo-
quent appeal to all people OF all parties,
in portraying the dangers that now be-
set u country; that imperialism was
not a Democratic or Republican issue,
and that it was for the people to rise
up IN their strength and might and
in one patriotic EFFORT destroy the tory
feeling in this country that would
change our form of government.
Mr.. Walkers speech was listened'to
most attentively, and he was frequent
ly interrupted by applause. 1t was
probably the best, ablest and most con-
vincing speech ever delivered in the
Court House by any speaker OF any
political party. When Mr.. Walker con-
cluded his speech Democrats and Re-
publicans alike went TO the stand and
took him by the hand and congratulated
him upon his splendid effort in behalf
OF the people.

DOG MAIL CARRIER.
Train and Takes Charge of Mailbag.

Out in Kansas, where so many things are different, there is big St. Bernard mail carrier. He lives in one of the little "cross roads towns, where the only store, which is also the post office, is 30 rods from the railroad track. The train. says the Detroit Free Press, always goes whiz- zing by at good rate of speed, whist ling as it approaches. Nep hears the whistle and hurries to the crossing and waits for the coming of the mail The mail clerk kicks the leather bag out of the door and it falls somewhere in the vicinity of the roadt Nep at once goes to the sack, and carefully taking it by the middle, so that neither end will drag on the ground, walks sedately to the store, where he deposits his burden in a safe place.
 He does this every day, in spite of the weather, and the whole country knows and is proud of the dog mail carrier.
 Nep is four years old. is two feet seven inches in height, and weighs 25O pounds. He has no difficulty in carry ing the sack, though the mail is often very heavy with the weekly papers from the county seat, for his teeth are strong and he has carried over 100 pounds as test of his strength.

''No doubt the time will come" said MT. Nobb.eton, according to the New York Sun, "when fire apparatus of all sorts. as well as other vehicles, will be power-propelled. instead of drawn by horses. So we want to look now. while we may, if we want to see the slickest thing in driving that the world has afforded, before such driving goes quite out of fashion.

The chariot man was good, and so was the man that drove stage in the noun tains; but this man that sits strapped in his seat to go over with the engine if it goes, and yet keeps the big team b'ilin' all the time, why, say! he's the boss of 'em all.

The editors of Current Literature say Of Resurrection Count Leo Tolstoi's late book, published by Dodd. Mead & Go: "It would be impossible to give in read ing any adequate impression of 'Resur- .ection, for it is as full of incident and experience as life. Nekhludon. the princi- pal character, is a Russian noble. whose naturally upright. straightforward and spiritual temperament has been stified by the empty phrases with which his class excuse their self-indulgence. Suddenly tragic Incident reveals to him the chasm between the aspirations of his youth and the moral lethargy of his manhood. With that incident the free spiritual being which alone is true, alone eternal, was awakened in him. and from that moment there began for him a new life.' The story tells of the maturing of this life, and of the light in which existing social institutions appear to Nekhludoff from his new point of view. Resurrection Is great literary masterpiece, and the great est of problem novels in that It deals with the fundamental problem-man's relation to man. As an introduction to the follow Ing reading. 1t may be stated that Nekhlu- eof has followed a gang Of political pris- onerS and conVicts into Siberia, because among them is a woman called Katusha whom he had once wronged and to whom he would atone. Kryltzon, who tells the story, is a political prisoner"
