AN UNSUCCESSFUL CHASE.

Special TO the Register.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, December
5.-Sheriff Smith, of Franklin county.
Ohio, and Chief of Police Cook. Of
Parkersburg, had a chase last night af-
ter woman who is wanted in connec-
ton with the recent big diamond rob-
berry at Columbus. Monday night a
man, woman and a child drove into
Belpre, opposite here, and put up at
the hotel. Yesterday they attempted
to short change several persons and
last night the Ohio sheriff was on their
track. They drove out OF Belpre and
started west The officers pursued but
failed to get on their track and return
ed. The Columbus sheriff refuses to
give the name Of the woman. but says
she is wanted because she knows some
thing about the diamond robbery. 1t
is said the man is penitentiary con-
vict out on parole

A DECIDED INNOVATION.

Soon after the beginning Of the new
century, now only four weeks removed,
decided changes in the computation
of time, as applied to each passing day,
will go into effect throughout the civ
ilized world. The change will consist
in recognizing a prime meridian and
the establishing of an universal day,
based upon clock dials which will in
dictate the hours from one o'clock to
twenty-four o'clock, after the Italian
method and in consonance with the
recommendations of the International
Meridian Congress, which assembled in
Washington, in accordance with the
invitation of President Arthur as long
ago as 1884.
At present each day is spread over
forty-eight (and in some cases fifty
five) hours. With the new system the
day will have it's beginning and end
in twentyfour hours, all over the
globe. 1t is pointed out that the pres
ent variations of time lead to very
confusing complications in all human
affairs, and lead to errors in chronicle
gy and to endless litigation and much
veXation. Take four points, for in
stance, 80 degrees apart, such as ia
pan, Arabia, Newfoundland and Alas
ka. When it is midnight Sunday in
Japan, according to the present lack
of system, it is noon in Newfoundland
and on two distinct days, Sunday and
Monday. To explain: Arabia, being
west Of Japan, the time there at mid
night in Japan, would be p. m. Sun
day. while in Alaska, it would be a.
m. on Monday. At 6 p. m. on Sunday
in Arabia it would be Sunday noon in
Newfoundland, and at Monday noon in
Alaska it is Monday night also in
Newfoundland, ninety degrees east. 1t
will be seen that going east or west
from a given point the clock now be-
comes twelve hours slower on the one
hand and twelve hours faster on the
other.
To straighten this out it is simply
proposed to put into operation the con-
clusion of the International Congress,
establishing a prime meridian and an
universal day, with the result that
when, for example, it is noon at Green
witch, it will be noon all over the
world, upon the same day. It will
take some little time, perhaps, to be-
come used to this change, but the in
novation will have undoubted advant-
ages.

giving out, and, secondly. that as o
fuel, it cannot compete with the btu
nous COAL This opinion will not be
endorsed here, in the heart of the gas
region. Our local supply of gas is
larger than ever before, there are no
signs of failure, but, on the contrary,
West Virginia is producing far more
gas than can be used, and it's supply
could be increased fve-fold if neces-
sary. We have gas to burn, and prac-
tically everybody burns it, whether in
factory or home, and expects to con-
tinue to do so for an Indefinite time
to come. The statement of the Times
that '66 per cent. of the gas in the
ground has been exhausted" is pure
foolishness, for no man can possibly
know whether or not 10 per cent. of
it has ever been touched.
AS to comparative economic values
OF gas and coal, the best evidence
in favor of gas is its continued use.
The experts may present statistics
and knowing ones wag their heads,
but the supply keeps up with an ever
increasing consumption.

ATTITUDE OF GERMANY.

There can be no doubt but that the
ceive President Kruger meets with the
condemnation of the German people.
II is related that even the Court prach-
er, Dr. Kritinger, on Sunday last, in
the new cathedral at Berlin eulogized
the Boer cause, concluding with the
words: "Merciful God, be to him and
to his people a savior and a helper in
their time of need" while Herr Won
Wildenbruck, the poet, and favorite of
the Emperor. welcomes Mr. Kruger to
the sympathies of the German people
in an ode which concludes with these
words: Lord God, answer his prayer"
The press of all political parties ex-
press hearty sympathy with Kruger
and his cause, and only the official
and semi-ofiicial papers hold aloof.
The German people are undoubtedly
with the Boer cause, and yet, because
of the action of the Emperor, the aged
Presidents hopes may be regarded as
blasted, not only because of the stand
taken by the German government, but
that of Austria as we'll
Had Germany and Austria united
with official France in recognizing Mr..
Kruger, England would have been up
against very serious proposition. for
it is probable that Italy and Russia
would have followed the lead thus
given and Great Britain would have
confronted an united Europe. As it
is she has only France and the people
of Europe to contend with, which is
another and very different proposition.
Dom Paul took his last chance for help
and intervention, and has failed, but
in his failure he has aroused the SYM
pathies of the world, and stands out
the grand old man of Africa and the
chiefest exponent of liberty on earth.

manslaugkter, the original accusation
being murder, and sentenced by Judge
William T. Mooney, has attracted wide
spread attention throughout the coun-
try The State early saw that the
charge of murder could not be main
tanned, and substituted an Indictment
for manslaughter, upon which there
was verdict of guilty In an interview
at the conclusion of the trial Judge
Mooney said:
Looking at the case upon its merits

proof of an intent to murder before the
crime can be established, In this case cas-,
there was no apparent intention to kill.
The intent was to dishgure.
In all the criminal history of the
world it is shown that acid throwing has
caused but two deaths. The records
were very carefully examined and pro
duced no further evidence. This fact
would have had great weight. Moreover
the prisoner was a woman and would
have the sympathy &C the jury
Il do not think the prosecution was
moved to accept the plea of guilty OF
manslaughter solely on the strength OF
the letter written by the mother of the
victim The prosecutor, a very careful
man. had two able assistants, and they
came to realize that they could not prove
murder: that such a crime was not
thought of by the defendant
Murder was probably not intended.

crime" Yet the act of Mrs. Van Liew.
was none the less a fiendish one, for
while it is true. as Judge Mooney points
out, that vitriol thrown with malicious
intent seldom causes death, the suffer
ing and Disagreement caused by the
acid are such that it is more than equi-
case of woman, and viewed in that
reasonable light, the ten years SEN
tence imposed by the Court was
moderate punishment. Jealousy, so far
as is known. without reasonable cause.

STREET CAR CONDUCTORS.

A new reform organization has been
added to New York,s redundant equip
ment in that line. 1t is, like many of
its predecessors in the crowded field,
composed exclusively of women. The
name taken on by this association is
the AUTHORIZATIONS League We
hope that is a misnomer. 1t has an
aspect of billigerency. 1t sounds too
much like a declaration of war-a war
of determination. The street car con-
ductors of the metropolis are the per-
sons to whom these presumably good
women are anti" Let it be hoped
that the movement will stop short of
their elimination from the sum of sub
lunary things. Let Us hope. too, that
they will not be the victims of perse-
particularly happy one.
In New York, as in other cities, there
are conductors who do not possess
Chesterfieldian manners. That is I'M
fortunate. for their business calls for
the perfection of politeness. 1t also
calls for profound knowledge Of hu-
man nature, such as comes to the intel
ligent student of that wonderful book
as the fruitage OF long and varied re-
search. And to these indispensables
the patience of SAINT must be added.
And all for 81 day!
Should the "antis" succeed IN their
mission, we suppose it will be ground
for discharge of conductor to speak
in a loud or harsh tone, or to display
irritation by any lack of placidity in
voice or manner. When lady, having
caused a car to be stopped for ner exit,
