The River.

Late last night there was a stage of
16 feet in the river at this point and
the water was falling. Tho ice is still
running and under the present favor
able conditions will probably all go
out today.
A number of the boats have ventured
out and are making their trips with
considerable loss Of time owing to the
ice. Most of the boats that have been
in the mouth of the Muskingum are
ready to go out. The Ruth left yes
terday afternoon for upper river
points, while the Bedford got away on
her trip to Wheeling. The remaining
boats will be in the trade today.
The Lorena came down last night
from Pittsburg, over a day late on her
trip. She left at II p. m. for Zanes-
vile.
The Keys5,ne State left Sunday
from her temporary point of shelter in
the Big Kanawha river, and came up
the river nearly to Mlddleport, where
she was overtaken by the Queen City,
and her freight was transferred to the
latter boat, which is taking the
freight through to Plttsburg The
Keystone State retraced her way down
the Ohio to Cincinnati, which port she
will leave Thursday evening and re-
sumo her regular business. The
Queen City passed Marietta last even
ing about 10 o'clock.
The Virginia passed down Monday
morning with a large trip of freight
but with only a light passenger list.

A Beautiful Play.

Marietta has had the pleasure within
three nights last past of hearing and
seeing two most excellent plays
plays which inspire one to think that
indeed there Is that on the stage which
Is not all horse play, which shows in
fact that there are plays which do not
suggest the horse in the sllghte5t ds-
gree.
Such a one was that last night
1.-The Adventure of Lady Ursula" 1t
Is one of the finest, subtlest and daint-
lest things that one could we'll imagine
unless they had the imagining faculty
in the degree that has Anthony Hope,
the author of the story.
A house inverse in size to the quail
ity of the play witnessed the produc-
tion, and If 1t could have taken its at
tentlon from the play for an instant,
would have felt sorry for Itself that 1t
was not larger; but such seems to be
the luck of really fine performance
in Marietta. There will be many to-
day who will say. after hearing about
it, ''If only had known, I should have
gone"
The company Is superb one. Miss
Drake Is a woman of extraordinary
beauty. and has great talent. Mr.
Morris is equally fine, and looks and
acts the nobleman to perfection. He
makes us think there must be some
thing in an aristocrat after all. The
support does not by any means i'll be-
fit the stars, for the members are ex-
tremely good people.
Manager Luchs is doubtless out of
pocket, but is by large degree in on
being the means of our hearing and
seeing art of genuine sort.

Doctors are often wrong.

quickly-sometime hurriedly. II is not
strange that he makes an occasional mis-
take. But mistakes are dangerous and
should be avoided.

zation bill which was reported by the

The objection to the swearing in of

day by .he presentation of new set of
credentials from Governor Shaw. and
Mr.. Connor took the oath. Three bills

WIERD PHOTOGRAPH.
A GRUESoME OBJECT ANEG-
ATlVE.
Practical Joke of Waggish Young Scien-
tist-He Scares n Photographer Nearly
Out of His VISA Chemical Dodge.

A professional photographer tells a
tale of practical joke. One day
young man came to sit for his like
ness. To the ordinary eye he looked
like any other young man. couple
of plates We're exposed and then the
assistant who was operating went into
the dark room to develop the negatives.
He was gone much longer than usual
and was heard berating the Junior as
sistant pretty soundly for playing
pranks with the apparatus. When he
returned to the studio he asked for an
other sitting and apologized for having
before used spoiled plates. This time
when he went away to develop he was
heard to utter slight scream, but he
reappeared and said there was pc
culiar effect in the negative which he
could not account for, and would the
sitter oblige him again.
Once more he went to develop; then
the bell rang violently for the master
and the two held long Capitalization
in the darkroom together. This time
the master tried his hand and went
away to develop. 1t was not long be-
fore he returned and said he was sor-
ry not to be able to get satisfac-
tory likeness, but n skull and cross
bones appeared defined on the young
mans forehead.
Rubbish" said the sitter. My fore
heads all right. Can you see anything
the matter with my foreheadI" and he
peered into mirror as he spoke.
mo, there's nothing that l can see,"
answered the photographer. But
should be obliged to you if you will
please go away and not come here
again. This sort of thing is just wee
bit creepy"
Upon this there was n dreadful scene,
but the upshot was that the young man
had to go, and up TO the present has
not returned. The explanation of the
matter is that the young man was n
bit of scientist and had been playing n
joke on the photographer. Bisulphate
of quinine is n chemical which is white
to the naked eye, but seen black by the
camera. Anything that is painted on
the skin, therefore, with the chemical
will be ordinarily invisible, but will
come out prominently in photograph.

MERCER WANTS TO
INVADE ENGLAND

Paris, Dec. 5.-Gcneral Mercicr
caused n deep sensation in the Senate
yesterday, during the debate on the ma
val bill. by pointing out the ease with
which England could be invaded. He
demanded that the government intro
duce into the plans for mobilization of
the army and navy methods for the
rapid embarkation and debarkation of
an expeditionary corps. The president,
NJ. Fallieres. interviewed, declaring that
such proposals were out of order.
In the course of his extraordinary
speech, General MERCER said:
I'm vlcw of the possibility OF war
with Great Britain, the use of the army
is not sufficiently taken into account.
The times are not the same as they
were II hundred years ago. steam, the
navy, the telegraph and railroad have
rendered the problem of Invasion OF
England much easier OF solution.
Moreover, England herself Is no
longer the same. The Irnnsvnnl has
shown that the British army. although
brave. Is not equal to the task which
England expected 1t to perform. The
British navy is powerful, but 1t has
Xonny coasts to defend.

In his long speech of the ship subsidy
bill, Mr. Frye's statement was elabor-
ate and at times eloquent. This great
maritime nation, he said, was placed
in position humiliating beyond ex-
preston by the present condition of
our merchant marine. With n bound
less sea coast, unparalleled and unap-
proachable natural resources, ship
builders the equal of any in the world,
the greatest exports in the world. and
every other argument in our favor the
United States had permitted its com
mercial rivals to seize the pathways OF
commerce and hold them practically to
the exclusion of this country. Last
year, of all the enormous exports and
imports of the United States, only nine
per cent was carried in American bot
toms and the United States paid to for
eign nations principally Great Britain
and Germany $5OO,OOO n day for doing
carrying trade work for this country.
He pointed out that during the war
with Spain the United States was
forced to search the seas over for aux
iliary cruisers and transports because
we had sacrificed our carrying ships.

Mr. Frye took up that provision of
the bill which provides the amount of
subsidy to be paid vessels and eN-
planned how the payment was regulat-
ed. He said that by the terms of the
measure IL ten-knot vessel out for 1T5
days, would draw $4,000 year be-

| would in percentage diminish with the
increase of the speed of the ship.
