To Aid Widows and Orphans OF the
Beers.
A pathetic appeal Of the committed
of Africander and Bond members OF
parliament was issued at Cape Town,
Oct. 10, 1899, signed by Messrs. N. F.
DeWaal, Joseph N. Hoffman, j. H,
Hofmeyr, Thomas P. Theron and D.
]. A. Van Zyl, which says among
other things:
What may, what can, we colonial
Africanders do in this sorrowful time!
Join in the work of warfare with the
weapons? The law and our duty as
British subjects forbid this. even
should other circumstances not oppose
such course OF action.
But what neither the law nor the
duty of the subject forbids, and what,
moreover, agrees in every respect with
all principles OF religion and human
ity, is the offering OF help to the
wounded, to the widows and the
orphans"
In the name OF the Africander bond,
on behalf of the citizens OF the South
African republic and their. noble ally,
the Orange Free State, I appeal to all
Americans to show their sympathy
with the brave people who are now,
in the words OF John Hancock, liter.
ally offering all that they have, all
that they are. and all that they hope
to be, upon the altar OF their country.

Richard Ryan states that he has
withdrawn from the race for the nomi-
nation on the Republican ticket and
gives as one of his reasons the Excess
sive assessment placed upon him by
the committee and says that while he
has the distinguished honor of being
a lawyer, sixty-five dollars put him
in a trance.
The committee forgets at this stage,
that he had climbed Jacobs ladder
from a junk shop and succeeded in at
tanning the high and exalted position
of attorney-at-law without doliar
to start with and the dollar still want
ing. 1t seems to him an excessive as
sessmenr. He doubted whether others
would he compelled to pay the same
and il; face of the fact that the Aus
tralian ballot was not officially an
nounced by the committee, he deemed
it his religious duty to withdraw.

When we see young woman go out to
meet fate that way it brings to mind the
Frenchman's saying of the Charge of
the Light Brigade. 1t was magnificent
but it was not war" 1t is magnificent
to see the young girl face the future so
fearlessly, but it is not life. No young
woman is ready for married life unless
her physical condition isup to the stand
ard of marriage, in the health of all the
delicate womanly organs, and rarely is
that the case.
Young women entering upon the
state of marriage will find no friend so
helpful as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t gives vigor and elasticity to the
organs peculiarly feminine, prevents the
drains that ruin the health, and makes
the ordeal of motherhood so easy that it
is practically almost painless.

Mrs. Flora Arm, of Dallas Jackson Co. Mo, II

Wetzel county and H. w. Hugger, re-
turned from Middlebourne where they
applied to Judge Farr for an injunc-
ton to stop the building of Court
House at New Martinsville. This is
regarded as a preliminary step, the
ultimate object being to remove the
Court House to Pine Grove, which
is in the central part of the county
and on the line of the new railroad.
The points relied upon in this appli-
cation on the part of the plaintiff cit
liens are upon constitutional grounds,
claiming that certain contract enter

W. Hugger to build the Court House
az New Martinsville was beyond the
constitutional powers of the County

sides are represented with able coun-
sci, being the flower of the Marshall

CASE SUBMITTED
In the Federal Court Yesterday.

Court Adjourns for the Term.
The case of United States against
Merry World Tobacco Company pend
ing in the Federal Court was yester-
day submitted to the court for consid-
Grafton. In this suit the question is
involved of the legality and propriety
of including what are known as cou-
pons in tobacco packages. In view of
the importance of the legal questions
presented and the elaborate briefs of
counsel on either side, it will be neces-
sary for the Court to take some time
in the study and examination of the
case
The Commissioner of Internal Reeve
nue. some time ago issued a circular
for the seizure of packages of tobacco
containing these coupons and in its
order entered in this cause the Court
included a very positive Injunction
against the carrying out of the Com
missioner's circular The injunction
provides that the Commissioner of Ia
ternal Revenue and the Collectors be
restrained and enjoined until the
further order of the Court from max
ing any such saizure - is directed by

the realistic touch is to be found. There
may be a question whether, with such ID

not have used it little better. But the
lack of definite plot, which should make

CURRENT VERSE.
A Prisoner of Hope.

To sit and watch in the lonely house
MheHa others have risen and gone their way
So hush'd and still that the wain-cot n.oNse
Creeps out on my hearth to pay;
To hear the hurrying folk 20 by,
Their echoing feet the silence all
The world is busy enough. but
In the midst Of it all sit stini
To wait, tho the tide runs far and fast,
To share the story, yet turn page.
To dwell in the heart of a vanished Past
With friends of bygone age;
The living about come and go,
But these have done with earths tolls and tears,
And follow with talteriug step and slow,
In the wake of the tedi0us years.
A broken weapon that's flung aside.
worn-out tool for which none need care
Sometimes | fancy l must have died,
And that only a ghost sits thsre
Yet the Dead no longer can feel the strain
OF the neryeless hand and the po'Yerless limb,
And the WEAKNESS even worse than pain
That comes when Lies lamp burns dim!
Often I think the hour OF dawn,
Whom the faint light glimmers on wall and floor,
And the curtains Of night half withdrawn,
is the worst in the twenty-four
How long will it be the tsrdy CLEAN
OF sunset fires the golden west?
1t is less hard then Just to watch and dream
When even the toilers rest.
And when stars come out Ger the twilight sea
There falls on my soul peace profound,
As think OF a Hand that once set free
The Spirits in Prison bound.
One day He will burst these bonds OF mine
And perchance there is good work yet undone
He is keeping for His Love divine
In the Land beyond the Sun.
