Concerning Gossips.

Gossip is the conversation of the ig-
norant. Men and women who take no
delight in good literature or the higher
intellectual pleasures, generally discuss
their neighbors' affairs. In order to
make their conversation spicy, they set
their imaginations to work, and build
large structures upon small foundations.
Thus innocent persons are slandered by
the illiterate and foul minded, whose
thoughts cannot rise above the plain CT
vulgar gossip, And of all contemplate
gossips the male gossip is the most des-
picable. We can tolerate little ten
dency to gossip in women, because II
seems natural to them. But the man
who becomes a retailer of scandals is
the most revolving creature alive

A Fiendish Attack.

An attack was lately made on G. f.

proved fatal. 1t came through his kid

not stoop without great pain, nor sit in
a chair except propped by cushions. No
remedy helped him until he tried Elec-

derful change that he writes he feels

stocking superatitions.

On the Welsh border 1t used to be
considered that the surest precaution
against witchcraft was TO wear the
left stocking wrong side out. This
leads us to another kind of superstition
connected with the harmless. necessary
hose-theIr value. when properly worn
or arranged. as charms or as protec-
tions against sickness or pain. If you
will only take the trouble when you 60
to bed to cross your stockings and
shoes, you will be quite safe from the
grip of crnmp. Again. II you hang
your stockings crosswise at the foot of
the bed. with pin stuck In them, you
need have no fear of nightmare: the
hag has holy horror of cross and pin.
Wiseacres have also been heard to de-
clare that If you will always put your
left stocking and shoe on first you will
enjoy immunity from toothache. This.
however, the most superstitious OF NOR
tails will likely take leave to doubt.

The pupils of the upper grades were
highly entertained in the Assembly
Hall Friday morning by the Honorable
J. w. Mcknight, who gave a brief his.
torical sketch of jefferson county.
Among the numerous events he men
toned we're the following:
Tho first settler of Winslow township
was John Fuller, who came here In 1922
The laying out of our own city in
1890.
Our forests were inhabited by fifty
species of wild animals: one Of the most
notable events WIS the killing of the
last buffalo in 1890.
A few OF the events which took place
In our own immediate vicinity were,
the first coal mined for sale by Charles
Anson, who took out few bushels u
day. This industry has now grown to
the enormous extent that instead Of Il
few bushels we are now shipping TO
various points OF the earth the great
amount Of forty-fve hundred tons day.
Thos. Reynolds was the first school
master in 1850. The magnificent salary
of seventeen dollars and forty-four
cents was the amount received by a
teacher fifty years ago.

by the members in the meetings of the

pardonable pride in the manner in
which the program OF last Friday was
rendered. The recitations, which were
rendered by Harriet Schultzc, Lois
Robinson. Eta Shaffcr, Viola McGaw,
Cornic Deible and James Muir. were Of
high order and showed careful prepar-
alton. Mollie McDonald's paper pictur-
ing the future was both amusing and
interesting, and II her representations
are correct, some of the gentler sex are
doomed to the fated lives OF old maids.
A call being made for music Golda King
favored the society with vocal selec-
tion which merited the hearty applause
1t received. The meeting was then
brought to close by the debate. That
the charms OF the new woman exceeded
those OF the DID," The affirmative was
upheld by Bertha Marshall while the
negative was supported by Ella Lenkerd.
The arguments were presented in
rhyme. After careful deliberation the
judges rendered their decision in favor

In Memoriam.

We are again called upon to chronicle the
death of one of our citizens, Thomas Wrrnel
Vincent. He was the son of DR.. VIM b.
and Annie Vincent. Born In the year
1886. Died at Gaithersburg, Md, January
22nd, 1900
Mr. Vincent spent the most OF his life
farming, but of late years his health would
not permit OF any very great exertion. He
often complained of feeling badly, yet no
one supposed that there was any thing seri-
Gus, and possibly like many others who are
grooming under the burden of atfl elton, he
was not the recipient of that sympathetic
consideration which his condition often
merited. To say the least, the community
was unprepared for the sad announcement
Of his death.
He was a widoNer, his wife having died
many years ago. Three children, two sons
and daughter, survive him. The welfare
of his children seemed to be a matter that
was ever upon his mind, especially his boys.
He was conscious of the snares which lay
upon the path OF the young men, especially
those whose avocations call them into city
life, and his fervent prayer was that God
would protect his boys. This solicitude of
a fathers heart can not fail of its good i'm
preston upon the lives OF his children.
MIR. Vincent was an honored member of
the Jamestown Presbyterian Church. We
shall miss him IN the public services, as we'll
as in the prayer meeting, but 80 II is, one by
one they are called away. The parting, in
deed is sad, but all the sadness is this side
there is none there whittier the happy soul
has gone.
The funeral services were conducted at
the residence of Mr.. Frank Vincent, Gath.
ersburg with whom our deceased brother
made his home. Rev. Mr.. Mcdonald, of
the NJ Il. Church, took part in the services
and made appropriate remarks respecting
the last hours of our brothers life
We laid his body 10 rest in Goods Acre"
at Beallsville. there to wait the resurrection,
IN the last day, when all who are in their
graves shall hear the voice Of the Son of
God, and come forth.
To the sorrowing ones who are 80 sorely
afflicted by this dispensation of our Father
in Heaven, would say look up, not down,
there is no hope inspired as we look into
the silent realms Of the grave, but there Is
hope as we look up-look heavenward TO
Him who was once held in deaths iron grip,
but now deaths master.
We shall all pass through the valley of
the shadow of Death, but remember that
this shadow is only the departing vail which
fingers between time and sunrise in Glory.

The Kentucky Tragedy.

Hon. William Goebel, Democratic claim
ant to the Kentucky Governorship, who was
shot by an assassin from a window in the
Executive Building, at Frankfort, on Tues
day of last week, is dead, and j. G. w.
Beckham, who was sworn in TO succeed
him, has taken up the contest which he
began.
The death of Mr. Goebel occurred at 0;35
O'Clock Saturday evening.
DR.. Hume announced at noon that the
wounded man was decidedly worse. He
was restless at that hour, and apparently
losing strength. Hypodermic injections of
morphine and atrophine had been admins
tered.
The doctor stated that on the morning
Goebel was shot he was i'll in the hotel and
went TO the State House without breakfast.
He had had practically no nourishment
since
Mr.. Goebel rallied a little at 2 O'Clock
and was stimulated by oxygen which was
pumped into his lungs.
The physicians abandoned hope at about
q quarter to 3 O'Clock, and devoted their
efforts TO keep him alive until his brother
Justus, from Arizona, arrived.
Dr. J. Il. Taliafero, a methodist minister,
was summoned TO Goebel's bedside at
quarter past 3 O'Clock. He lett the dying
mans bedside at about a quarter TO and
went down stairs into the hotel parlor, at
Sci al nj
and held brief prayer meeting.
At Goebel's request Chaplain Wallace,
of the Kentucky Penitentiary, an intimate
friend, was sent for. and the two had u short
conversation.
Lew" said Mr.. Goebel," 81 wish TO an
nounce 10 the world that do not hold my
self in open violence to the word OF God"
IL had been said that Mr.. Goebel was an
agnostic.
The wounded man died Just before his
brother Justus arrived at his bedside. His
brother Arthur and his sister, Mrs. Brsu-
necker, were alone with him when the end
came.
Senator elect Blackburn, Speaker Trim
Die anu ABOUT uOLeu Olners, inCluuihB
some OF the most prominent Democrats In
Kentucky, issued an address TO the people
giving notice OF Goebel's death, and saying
ain his last moments he counseled his
friends to keep cool and bow TO the law In
all things We, his friends and advisers,
beg Of the people Of Kentucky in this hour
of affection 10 abstain carefully from any act
of violence or any resort TO mob law"
The remains of Mr.. Goebel were carried
10 his home at Covngton, where they lay in
state, Tor several hours, and were afterwards
returned 10 Frankfort where the funeral
took place on Thursday.
An agreement for the settlement OF the
questions in dispute was entered into BY
the friends Of both parties, giving the Dem
ocrats the Governorship aud modifying the
present election law, bat this has not been
ratified by Taylor.
