Quaint Churches.

In the county of Yorkshire there are
probably more interesting and historic
al churches than in any other part of
the country, and yet we find in an arti-
Gle on English Churches, Small and
Quaint" that the rarities of Yorkshire
are entirely overlooked. At Abel, for
instance, there is probably the one per-
feet Norman church in England, with
It's lions head on the door of the sane
tuary. At Lastingham there is the won
derful church founded by st. Ceadda,
which has a hole in the aisle down
which one descends to find oneself
in another church acting as the foun-
dation for the edifice above. At Kirk
dale stands the ancient church built
by Brand. the priest, which was actu-
ally restored some years before the
conqueror set foot on British soil.
Among the other numerous rarities in
churches which Yorkshire boasts NAV
be mentioned the Saxon frescoes on
the walls Of the aisle in the parish
church at Pickering.
In addition to rarities too numerous
to mention, 1t may be stated that York
shire has more abbeys than all the rest
or England put together 1t is inter
esting, however, to learn from the arti-
Gle which excludes Yorkshire church.
es that we have In England two thatch-
ed churches, one built of logs and a
piack and white timbered church.

whose people are more oriental than Of
the occident. 1t is tradition that the
most beautiful women and finest horses
come from Catalonia.
Dolores Menendez y Cato came from
Madrid, where she had been a singing
girl and married Luis De La Rosa.
Their home was very fine ole, but
their life was not happy. They quar-
relied frequently.
Then the other man came.
He was of Catalonia, like Dolores.
He was of her own age; Luis De La
Rosa was twice as old.
Manuel, the other man, whose last
name is not known, was kind, gener-
GUS and sympathetic. He and Luis De
La Rosa quarreled many times over
Dolores. She, fearing the one and low
ing the other, tried to prevent trouble.
There was a duel Of the bloodless sort
She forbade Manuel to come again.
For months she did not see him, but
they exchanged notes. In 1891 it was
announced that Manuel was going
back to Spain. Two days before he
was to have departed Luis De La Rosa
was found dead in his apartment on
his plantation.
Dolores was arrested. Manuel had
been seen at the plantation the day
before Luis was poisoned. Following
the arrest Of Dolores, he fed. He has
never returned.
Dolores maintained stolid indiffer-
ence to her arrest and subsequent trial.

La Rosa" was all that she said:
When they questioned her in the
Spanish court, she haughtily refused
to answer any questions relating to
Manuel beyond admitting that she
knew him. Once when pressed for an
answer to question II she believed
Manuel guilty of the murder of her
husband she said: 81 am innocent.

not believe he killed Luis De La Rosa"
The closest scrutiny of Dolores life
and her relatives did not justify the
conclusion Of the secret police that she
and Manuel had planned the death of
Luis. Friends of Dolores said she was
too gentle to conceive or participate In
such crime. Only once did Dolores
ask for Manuel, where he was, IL he

Directors Order a Distributes Ct IS
Per Share and.Call Final St0ckhold-
ers' Meeting for April ii Next-Lit-
igatiou has Delayed the Final Closing
OF its Affair.
The Monongahela Navigation Com
pany will soon be thing Of the past.
At the annual maeting of the stock
holders the welcome announcement
was made that the long pending liti-
cation had all terminated satisfaeter-
lily to the company, and that the or
ganization could pass out of existence
within a few months A special
meeting Of the stockholders was call
ed for April 18th. next, to arrange for
the dissolution Of the company.
A cash distribution Of IS per share
was ordered by the directors, who
met just previous to the stockholders
meeting. This is as a result of the
decision of the Supreme Court about
two weeks ago, when the decision of
the lower court were affirmed in every
case and all favorably to the naviga-
tion company.
The suits were those brought by
several coal companies, who claimed
excessive tolls had been charged.
The litigation has delayed the disselu-
ton of the company for over two years
and has tied up nearly 800, 600 be-
longing to the stockholders for that
length Of time. At the time OF the
purchase by the Government, 500 per
share was paid TO the stockholders.
1t is stated that in April the amount
remaining in the treasury will proba-
bly, be enough to allow an additional
and final distribution of about 81 per
share, making total payment of
about 500 per share. The par value
was $50.

NO GOOD.
Congress is After the Bankrupt Law
Delivers Bill.

Congressman Dolliver has already
introduced a bill in Congress to re
peal the new bankrupt law. The
law was passed at the last session Of
Congress, and has been in effect for
about six months, but the amount of
debts that have been paid under it's
provisions amounts up in the mil
lions All the bankrupt laws that
we have ever had have been of brief
existence. There seems to be some
necessity for such law once in TWEEN
ty years to even up matters and let
the wild spectators and those who
have met with misfortune to start
even with the world again, but after
they have been in effect for few
months they invite so much rascal
ty that the public becomes Disguised
and clamors for their repeal. 1t is
at least of doubtful policy to keep
such laws standing on the statute
books as a continuous invitation for
reckless spectators and conscious
less rascals.

Eliza Rinehart University Stu
dent Who Has Smallpox


Cannot ;set Veil Contracted Disease
While Visiting in 0hio-His Physi-
clan Thought he Attack Was uea-
sizes And Caught The Dread Malady
Before he Was Aware of It's Nature.
The report gained some credence on
Friday evening that Eliza Rinehart
who had been reported as having
small pox at his home ia Lewis coun-
ty was really sick with measles and
that the statement in this paper that
he had smallpox was not correct. We
have further information on the mat
ter in question and we are able to
state with certainty that he has small
pox and has it in its worst form.
When he was at first taken SIGH the
physician DR.. Stewart thought that
his patient had measles and took no
precautions against smallpox. Later
the disease developed Itself unmis-
takably and before very long the phys
ician was seized himself and is now
dangerously sick in the same house
with his former patient.
We obtained these facts from Mr..
c. A. Gilliland of Clarksburg who
came in here on Friday afternoons
train. He has just come from the
neighborhood OF the sick boy and
told us all the facts in the case.
Rinehart is said to be very sick and
it is generally expected that he will
die.
He had contracted the disease in
Ohio having been over there after his
return from Morgantown where he has
been a student in the University.
Before Christmas he went to Ohio to
visit relatives and while there was in
a place where there was smallpox.
This fact does not seem TO have
been known at his home and after he
was taken sick it was discovered. He
was bright young fellow but he
didn't make many acquaintdnces
while here. Being member of the
Mems Glee Club brought him into
contact with number Of people but
outside Of this he was not known TO a
great many of the student body.
Every one however regrets 10 learn
of his desperate condition and they
hope that he will recover shortly.
The fact that he obtained his dis
ease in some other place than Morgan
town is matter that will make sew
eral people feel easier than they did
when it was announced that the stu
dent had gone home from here with
the measles which had developed into
smallpox on further investigation.

but after second thought he deemed
it not advisable, and decided not to
60. The board is now trying to Sc

A SNEAK THIEF.
Enters Congressman DOyener's Room
and Steals Valuable Charm.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Represen-

for which he is almost inconsolable.
Some one has stolen the watch charm
which he receiver at the hands of
Sheriff Richards, from numerous
friends while in San Francisco, at
the presentation of the silver service
to the gunboat Wheeling. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dovener were at break fast
at Wizards Hotel, yesterday
morning, and while they were
thus absent from their room sneak
thief entered it with a duplicate key
and carried away the keepsake, leav-
ing the watch to which it was at
tached. The charm is so marked as
to be readily Unidentified, besides hav-
ing Captain Doveners name upon
it, but is is believed the thief took
it for the handsome diamond it
contained. 1t is also believed that
the rogue was seeking such small
articles as diamonds which are not
readily described, and this accounts
for his leaving the watch behind.
Other boarders lost valuables. Cap
tain Dovenor valued his charm much
more for it's associations than for its
intrinsic worth
