Novel Way Of Raising Money
For Charity.

Wheeling, w. Va, March 1S.-Yes-
terday was Rubber Day in Wheel
ing. Hunders of pounds of old rub
ber were collected and turned over to
the Kings Daughters, the proceeds to
be applied to the building fund of the
Kings Daughters Day Nursery.
Several years ago the women of the
Fourth Street Methodist Church con-
ceived the idea of renting house and
providing nurses for the small child
rem of women who are compelled to go
out to work during the day. For a
merely nominal sum babies of all ages
up to five years are taken care of,
and the popularity of the enterprise
has been proven by the need of new
building, the house OF ten rooms being
filled every day, with more applicants
who cannot be accommodated.
When the collection closed last
night it was found that tons of rubber
of every description from bicycle tires,
rubber shoes, rubber coats, balls, even
down to rubber bands slipped from
packages by boys, had found its way
into the barrels. The women have not
had the stuff weighed yet, but they
feel confident that at least $1,000 will
be realized The rubber has been
contracted for by a Cleveland firm at
a good price.

Roberts and Grant.

Some of the home straegists are now
comparing Lord Roberts, who is con-
ducting such successful campaign
against the Beers, TO our Gen. Grant.
While there may be certain resemb-
lances between the methods of the
two men there are certainly but min
ute points of comparison between their
careers or the operations which have
contributed to their fame. Lord Rob-
erts' fame and prestige are the growth
of a lifetime, while Grant established
his in less than four years. Roberts
has never led at any one time an inde-
pendent command that anywhere ap-
preached in numbers those command
ed by Grant, either in his western or
eastern campaigns. Roberts has won
the most of his fame in fighting saw
age and half savage foes, led by men
comparatively ignorant CT the art of
war as practiced in modern times;
Grant, on the other hand, faced the
most determined foes that have borne
arms in modern times, led by generals
who stand in the front rank of the
commanders CT the century.
Lord Roberts is no doubt a great
soldier and perhaps, if placed in the
position of Gen. Grant, he might have
been equally successful, but the oppor-
tunity to emulate the great soldier Of
the Republic has never been his. From
the beginning of his career to the
presnt moment, none of the battles
which he has fought would have
counted for more than skirmish in
the gigantic operations conducted by
Gen. Grant. He does not even have to
his credit any such achievements as
the capture of Forts Doneldson and
Henry. which was accomplished by
Grant before he had worn out his first
uniform. after emerging from leath-
er shop with the almost forgotten til
tie OF aptain.-Pittsburg Times.

"A Chicago newspaper man of long
experience, in discussing Rev. Mr..
Sheldon's experiment, hits the nail on
tn head thus: Success is assured
for week on account of advance sub
scriptfons due to novelty, but it seems
to me that If paper prints what the
editor-in-chief believes the people
should read and not what the people
want to read the editor will soon hear
from the business manager" Tastes
differ, and, to secure a financial sue
cess, the news table has to be set for
all tastes. Even this gives to the edi-
tor wide scope for selection and ar
rangement so that the best tastes shall
be cultivated. To suppress all news
of the worlds wickedness may be to
dull the appreciation of real reformers
of the presence and menace of moral
poisons.

WOMAN'S MOST WINSOME AGE.
Thirty Is Considered the Time of Her
Most WIBsOme and Capti-
waiting Beauty.

Why do women hesitate to tell their
age? BY common consent it is re-
garded as very rude and boorish to
ask Il woman categorical question
regarding the number of her birth
days. Yet there shall be no diff
dence on the point, and reticence on
the subject Is hard to explain Except
for some reason connected with busi-
ness which may find in accommodating
years a handicap, man is usually
very open about his age and as ready
to proclaim it as his wife and sisters
are to conceal theirs. Probably the
feeling in the matter had its origin
in the long ago when matrimony was
the ordinary woman's only desirable
goal, and when as she grew older her
chances of finding a mate diminished
perceptibly, says Golfers Weekly.
The situation has so entirely
changed, and spinsterhood has be.
come so inviting that we should ex-
pect TO discover an alteration in the
manners of women on this point and
to find them quite candid as to their
claims to maturity or the reverse.
Fifty years to-day looks as 40 did a
score of years ago, Thirty-always
very winsome age. the age of wom-
ans most captivating beauty-is not
now to be distinguished in freshness
and bloom from 20. Outdoor life Is
doing for women what nothing else
can do-making them beautiful and
keeping them young.

Lumber Transportation B,
River.

The transportation of lumber on
barges is fast becoming one of the
important industries of the Ohio river,
and Cincinnati is rapidly growing to
be the best lumber market east of the
Mississippi river. On account of its
location, 1t is the gateway between the
consumers of the North and East and
the sawmills of the Siuth. The num-
ber OF large lumber dealers of other
cities located here within the past two
or three years is the best evidence of
Cincinnati's growing popularity as a
lumber center The city itself con-
sumes an enormous amount of lumber
and its rail shipping facilities make it
a distributing point for large quanti-
ties brought here by river. The ship
ment OF lumber by river from the
South to the North is comparatively
new enterprise. AS long as ten years
ago an occasional barge of lumber
would find its way north; but recently
the business OF transporting by water
has grown by leaps and bounds. Ship
pers soon found out that the old
fashioned. square-ended coal barges,
carrying from 100000 to 100000 feet
OF lumber. wer inadequate and they
built larger barges, until last year the
Barret line built a barge that carried
sis. 900 feet. and the limit in size was
thought 10 have been reached. The
record did not stand long. however.

Oil III Mexico.

Mexico City, March iS.--It is no
longer a question as to whether oil in
quantities can be had in Mexico. for
this has been demonstrated satisfact-
orily in thre different states of the re-
public. Transportation Is now the vi
tai question in this Connection. The
company now engaged in exploiting
Vera Cruz fields has gotten about FIVE
hundred tons of machinery on the
ground and is pushing matters as
quickly as possible While 1t has de-
veloped the property quite sufficiently
to be sure of deposits there, 1t is. in
the first place, some forty miles
freigting to the coast, and the water
transportation before encountering the
long journey to the City of Mexico,
which Is, of course, the principal
market point to depend upon
Experts sent to test fully the Tabas-
co fields are giving satisfactory re-
ports, and the only drawback to the
immediate operation is the transporta-
tlon question. The best deposits dis
covered are in the state of Curreroa and
after railway facilities now under way
are completed the persons interested
intend to commence the development
work on larg scale. Reports of oil
being found in the valley of Mexico
near this city have not been verified
as yet, and it is hardly likely that de-
posits are in the Immediate locality.
Experience shows that oil deposits oc-
cur only in the primary formation.
The semitic conditions prevailing
here give very little encouragement to
hcps for finding of deposits of oil in
the valley of Mexico. The local
branch of the Standard Oil Company
has taken much interest in the pros
pecting for oil and is continually fol-
lowing reports from the new oil fields.
Returning mining experts say that
the profusion of prospects of every
sort and material in the state of Cuer-
rero warrants naming that state the
treasure house of the republic.

larger barges since, and on Thursday.
March 8, the steamer Beaver arrived
at the foot of Race street with the
barge Mamie Barrett, carrying 1,019,-
900 feet OF lumber. The dimensions of
the barge are as follows: Length,
225 feet; width, IL feet, with a depth
OF feet in the shallowest place and II
feet at each end. The cargo consisted
of IFS layers of cottonwood lumber.
which extended 10 feet G inches above
the deck of the barge Although
this barge drew ~ feet of water when
loaded, a powerful towboat like the
Beaver can tow three such barges up
stream against the current of the Mis-
slssippi and the Ohio rivers. A better
idea of the capacity of the barge
Mamie Barrett may be had, perhaps,
by comparing its load with the carry
ing capacity of railroad cars. The
greatest amount of lumber that can be
put on a car is 10000 feet; so that
it is an easy calculation to show that
the barge carries 100 cars of lumber,
or about four ordinary train loads.
The total amount of cottonwood
lumber shipped by river to Cincinnati
this year will approximate 30,0O0,00
feet, according to one Of the lergest
dealers here, and about 80 per cent of
this amount is consumed by the citp.
The residue is shipped east and north
by rail. Cottonwood, which only a
few years ago was considered almost
worthless as lumber, is now much
sought after for many things. Much
of it brought here is worked up into
starch and soap boxes. 1t is soft and
allows printing upon it. 1t is with
odor and does not taste goods pack
ed in boxes made II it. 1t does not
stain, and has other desirable qualities
including lightness. The presence OF
the imense barge of lumber at Race
street attracted much attention. but
at the rate the towing business has
been increasing lately, the sight ol
such barges will soon become common

GOING TO BANK.

A little maid, her fathers pride,
With hood and cloak, walked by his
side,
Her mittened hand in his broad
palm;
Sweet innocence and glad surprise
Were written in her face and eyes
AS moonlight skies in waters calm.
To playful query she gave frank
Reply, why, we are going to bank
TO put some of our money in"
The father pressed the little hand
And felt new gift of power to stand
Resisting all the calls of sin.

Ready with His Retort.

The following story is attributed to
Marshall 2. Wilder: Some evenings
ago a man was seated in the corridor
of one Of the large hotels smoking a
fragrant Havana cigar. On the lounge
next to him were seated a woman and
her daughter, the latter being imme-
diately next to the smoker. The draft
in the corridor blew the smoke from
the cigar across the younger woman's
face, to which, although it annoyed
her extremely, the smoker remained
seemingly either oblivious or else
wholly Indifferent. Finally, after sew
eral quite audible remarks to her
mother apropos Of the rudeness of
men in general in smoking in the pres
ence Of women, which passed rapidly
into a somewhat hectic comment on
this smoker in particular, the frayed
string Of her temper broke, and, turn
ing savagely to the tormentor. she
said: IF you were my husband, do
you know I'd poison your Her neigh
Dor, removing his cigar from his lips,
promptly responded: And do you
know, madame, were you my wife, I'd
take that pOison?"

st, Johns, Nd, Jan. 17.-Every hing
goes to show that the wrecked steamer
in st. Mary's bay is the Heligoland,
the property of the Dutch-American
Petroleum company. Among num-
Der of flags picked up last evening
near Holyrood was one with the colors
blue, white and red, with the letter

flag of that company. Taken with the
finding of a boat off Cape Pine marked
'Heligoland' it seems to have no doubt
as to the identity Of the vessel.
Landsmen were unable to get down
to the beach and therefore unable to
recover the bodies, which have been
lying there exposed five days and
nights. Seven bodies are now ashore
and can be reached when the sea be-
comes smooth. There are five others
in the wreckage near the ship. Others
still were seen driving south. The
wind was veering landward again yes
terday and will probably drive them
all ashore to-day, but it will keep a big
sea on.
