by his wife. who is Mrs. Wigginton's
daughter, that he made his home with
Mrs. Wigginton, at her request, He
did not board there. but he and his
wife were guests of Mrs. Wigginton,
and went to her house at her solicita-
ton. DR.. Delisspar says that when he

His Condition Imuroyea.

The condition of Henry Downey, the B.
& O., employee of Fairmont, who was shot
by two hobos at the place about ten
days ago, was reported slightly improved
last evening. He is still confined to the
city hospital and his wife, who came
here from Fairmont. is at his bedside
The prospects are now more encouraging
that he will recover. Albert Thomas and
James Campbell. the two negroes who are
charged with the shooting, are still in
the Ohio county Jail. 1t will be remem-
bered that they were brought here the
morning after the shooting because it was
feared by the Fairmont authorities that
they would be lynched if allowed to re-
main in the Jail there. 1t is said that no
arrangements have yet been made for their
hearing. They will likely be kept here
until it is more definitely known how
Downey's injuries will result.

Yesterday Morning "a Half Mile West
of Cameron.


A. telephone message was received
from Cameron, stating that the farm
house of Isaac Moose, about a half
mile west of that place, caught fire
yesterday morning about 11:30, and to-
gether with the contents was nearly
entirely destroyed.
The fire was caused by a lamp ex-
plosion in one of the bedrooms, and
when discovered the second floor of
the building was enveloped in flames.
Mr. Moose's wife was sick in the bed
at the time. but was safely carried
from the residence and taken to the
home of neighboG. The building was
constructed of logs and weatherboard-
ing and burned rapidly. The loss has
not been estimated, but it is known
that about SIS in bills and silver was

The sunrise meeting at six o'clock
yesterday morning was the beginning
of day full of good things for the
people on the camp ground. The class
meeting at nine was well attended,
and much enjoyed by all who were
present.
At 1880 a. m. Rev. G. D. Smith, OF
New Martinsville, preached from the
text EpheSians 2:21. His theme was
THE church-a building OF Gods .
He spoke of the adhesive power and
influence that should hold the individ-
ual members of the church together,
and the Importance of doing their
whole duty as Christians.
He also spoke of Christian patriot
ism as compared with political patri-
otism, and said that. as it is necessary
to Americanize all foreigners in order
to make them good citizens, SO is it
necessary for persons uniting with the
church to abandon all worldly attach
ments and become wholly Christian
ICED.
Miss Mary Scott at the children's
meeting read the Beauritudes, and
took the subject OF Light" for dis
cussion. 1t was well explained to the
children, and they In turn gave many
interesting thoughts of the different
sources of light These meetings grow
more interesting every day, and are
better attended by the older people OF
the grounds than they were a few days
ago.
The three O'Clock services were OPEN
ed with singing and prayer by Rev. E.
d. Hanna, after which Rev. N. B.
Johnson, of Warrington, preached a
forceful sermon from the text BE We
holy and without blame before Him in
love-" He said that no man can make
a Christian of himself, that God only
can do so. and He is willing to come
to any dead soul and restore 1t TO life.
The way to heaven is marked out by
Him. He shapes our lives; He leads
US; He gives us power as we need it,
and If we would become the greatest
thing in the world-a Christian-it is
necessary to accept His truths. He
will guide us in the right way, and ex-
poets us to live up to the highest stan
dard of Christian life. The chief
characteristic of holy life is a heart
full of love, and he cited Paul, John
Knox, Martin Luther and others as
examples of persons who had this
characteristic.
AT the close of the sermon a short
conservation and experience meeting
was held.
Last evening DIR. Yocum, who he
comes more popular every day, preach
ed in his usual earnest, forcible man
ner to a fair-sized audience.
The services to-day will be repeti-
ton of yesterday, with a change of
leaders and ministers, with the excep-
ton of DR.. Yocum.

A Secret of Profitable Travel.

ssThe American is WISE" writes
Edward Box, in the Ladies' Home
Journal, 'who going to Paris this
year spends enough time in the
French capital to see the Exposition,
and the beauties and spots Of fragrant
memories which the city unquestion;
ally possesses, but who then leaves
Paris behind and goes into thosd
quaint: romantic and goue-to-sleep old
places with which France abouncs-
in the Balzac country, for example,
where French life is still lived in the
old, delightful way. This is the secret
Of profitable travel anywhere: to go
about with the mind open and recep-
tive: to Judge people from the cou.
ditions which surround them: to get
an impression Of nation not from the
life which floats on the surface of its
great centres, but from its own people
living in the heart Of their own lands,
in their homes and in their own way.
Thus We will see the real people OF
tka country wherein we travel. But
we cannot truly Judge the Euglish
from what we see in London o. the
French from the boulevarGs aid cafes
of Paris. any more than a foreigner
can Judge the entire population OF
America merely from the people he
sees IN the city of New York"

How Kafffas Bank Theie Money.

The natives Of that part Of South,
Africa which to great extent IS in
habited by Bushrlen and i:ottentots
have a peculiar system Of banks and
banking.
These Kafirs, among whom this
curious system Of banking obtains,
live near Kaffraria, in the south of the
Colony country. The natives come
down from their country to trade
IN the several villages and towns il
large numbers, stay with the Beers for
a time, then return to Kaffraria.
Their banking facilities are very
primitive, and consist entirely of banks.
Of deposit alone, without banks of dis
count or issue, and they have no
checks. But still they enjoy banking
privileges, such as they are.
From those who trade, of their own
number, they select one, who for the
occasion is to be their banker He Is
converted into a bank of deposit by
putting all the money Of those whose
banker he is into bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores to buy what
ever they want.
When an article is purchased by any
Of those who are in this banking ar
rangement the price Of the article is
taken by the banker from the deposit
money bag, counted several times and
then paid to the seller Of the article,
after which all the bank dcpoSitois
cry out to the banker i'll the presence
Of two witnesses selected:
s'You owe me so much!" This is then
repeated by the witnesses. The gen.
eral accounting comes between the
banker and his several depositorS,
when all desired purchases have been
made. after which all the natives de-
bart for their northern wilds.-Tit-Bits.

A GREAT TRUCK GARDEN
Mexico May Supply Us with Our Early
Vegetables

lror recent Developments q Is ap-
parent that the Southern States will
not possess the monopoly Of supplying
northern cities with garden products,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
science Of refrigeration and the con-
struction of refrigerator ships and re-
fricerator cars has reached such high
state that it is now possible to raise
fruit, it might be said, in almost any
part Of the world, and carry 1t to any
other part. The fact has been for
years demonstrated by the shipment OF
carcasses from Australia to England by
the shipload, where an enormous trade
has been built up. The same principle
can be applied to the transportation OF
fruits. a very large proportion OF the
product of California Is now shipped
eastward in refrigerator cars, and some
of the finest fruits on display in the
East come from that State in this way.
The agriculturists in the South haVere-
Gently had their attention directed to
the advisability of diversifying crops
by the high price paid for garden pro-
ducts. The market garden has Of late
years become a very important factor
in southern agricultural economy.
Enterprising capitalists, since the de.
velopment Of Mexico by railroads have
been looking at the possibilities of eli
mate there, and have taken steps in
some cases to establish plantations for
the growth Of fruits on large scale,
which it is their intention to ship by re-
frigerator processes to United States
ports and then to inland points. The
schemes read WELL and apparently are
well based. There appears to be no
reason why garden truck could not be
raised in Mexico and delivered safely
and proftably to a great many cities
and towns throughout the United
States. A great many products there
are four to eight weeks ahead Of the
South. Dairy farming has become
very profitable. Milk in large cities
sells at 25 cents in Mexico; butter at 80
to 4S cents a pound. Labor costs only
from u to 25 cents dag. Sugar cane
turned into brown sugar yields from
$40 to S95 an acre gross. Green barley
and corn are raised in large quantities
for fodder.
Cattle raising since the Spanish war
has been greatly stimulated, and the
western cattlemen are now there lay
inc the foundations for big ranches.
Wheat is cultivated on the high table
lands Of Central Mexico, but it is not
as good as that grown in the States.
Such products as coffee, vanilla, rub
Der. cocoanut and cocoa are all raised
in certain sections and raised profta-
