A Few Questions.

Has Charles Richardson demon
strated ability in any particular direc-
tion while serving a. Mayor?
Has he at all times conducted him
self in public and private life as the
Mayor of Marietta should?
Was it not this same Charles Rich
ardson who was tried by the City
Council last summer and escaped be-
ing asked to hand in his resignation
only by a slight technical error in
the charge made against him?
Is it right and just that the Mayor
should sit on Brussels carpet and ad-
minister the "s5 and costs" dose foi
drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
when he himself is guilty of commit
ting those same offenses on repeated
occasions? Why doesn't the present
Mayor administer the dose to himself?
What has Mayer Charles Richardson
done for the working people of Mari
eta in encouraging the establishment
OF new industries? Does his record in
this regard compare favorably with
that of Mr.. Sykes, the Republican
candidate for Mayor?
Has Henry Bohl made a success as
a business man to an extent sufficient
for him to assume chat he is capable
Of handling the duties of the Office OF
Mayor?
Does Henry BOIL intend to move to
Columbus as soon as he is defeated?
What qualifications does he possess
that cause him TO feel that he can
serve the city acceptably as Mayor?

Miss GouId's Good Work.

visitor at the Whitehouse the 9TH
er day, referring TO the lack of chap
iains with the volunteer regiments in
the Philippines and elsewhere, say
that Miss Helen Gould, of New York,
is maintaining nine or ten chaplains
at her own expense. These men are
not officially recognized as chaplains.
but as ministers and Y. NJ C. A. work
ers. They voluntarily and unofficial
ly do practically the same work Miss
Gould. 1t is stated, rays each of these
men $50 a month and his expenses.
The latter amount 10 more than sal
aries in the Philippines. 1t is thought
that Miss Gould's monthly payment is
something like $4,000. She has been
maintaining these Christian workers
since last fall, when the regiments be-
gan going to the Philippines and the
attention was brought to the failure of
congress to provide for the chaplains.
Her great work is not generally
known, as all her deeds of this kind
are done in the most quiet way

"As Satan Would"

The editor of the Bloomington
(Ind) Star announces that he will run
his newspaper next Saturday "as Sat-
an would" He promises, among 9TH
er new features incident to the expert
ment, that he will make sweeping ex-
poseres Of certain evils in the COM
munity. A local correspondent re-
marks that this program has created
great fear and trembling among evil
doers, pharisees and hypocrites for
miles around Bloomington.
1t will be seen that an erroneous
impression exists in Bloomington and
its >environs as to the methods en-
ployed by the devil in his work. His
Satanic majesty, is not in the habit of
exposing evils, but, on the contrary
makes an effort at concealing them
If placed in charge of newspaper, he
would view with alarm the program
marked out for him by an Indiana edi-
tor.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Ira Marlatt, who long ago earned the
tile of THE Prison Demon" was re-
ceived at the penitentiary on Oct. 81,
1891, from Mahoning county, to serve
life sentence for murder in the sec
ond degree. For several years he has
been the terror of the prison. A num-
ber OF attempts have been made by
him to assassinate officials of the pris-
on, and he has been punished in al
most every way known in prison pun

for him, and yet he managed to secure
deadly weapons, but how has never
been learned. AS last resort he was
placed in the steel cage, which he new

Edward Leonard, who came to the
rescue of the warden, is a prisoner
from Knox county having been receiv-
ed March 20, 1898, to serve three years

being pardoned at once. He made

Grand Army Column.

So far, in four months OF war, the
British have lost about as many men
as we did in one evil day at Fredricks-
burg.
Gen. Grant lost more in three days
assaulting Petersburg than the British
have lost so far in South Africa.
The Union troops at Wilson's Creek
numbered less than half as many as
Butler had in action on the Tugela,
and yet they lost three times as many
killed, and inflicted still greater loss
upon the rebels.
We were on cavalry outpost near
Strawberry Plains, East Tenn, soon
after daybreak on the cold New
Years day of 1864, we'll remembered
by the Ninth and Twenty-third Corps
and the Cavalry Division of Burn
sides army. The rain of the night
before had frozen as it fell, and by
daybreak blizzard was sweeping over
our lines, the thermometer (if there
had been such thing within a hund-
red miles of our camp showing zero
weather or worse.
The cavalry outposts of Burnside's S
army lay close to Longstreets out
but lightly clad and their suffering
was intense, so much so, indeed, that
our Union outpost started a fire
whereby to warm their half frozen fin.
gers to enable them to hold their guns

the Union troops soon gathered

stage Of the game that a videt from
the Confederate side approached ours
of the 7th Ohio Cav. and called out;
will yo'uns lend we'uns a coal OF
fre?"
The reply was quick and favorable
and Johnny was promised the loan oi
: coal of fire and immunity frcm dan
ger while coming and going. With
confidence he then ran to our lines
and was provided with an abundance
of live Goals, which. with profuse
thanks, he carried to his own outpost
and soon had merry fire of his own

both armies. The men stood their
tours of duty fully exposed within

agreed up by common consent by reas-
on of the extreme severity of the
weather Two days later, when the

out: ''Lcok out now; the war will be

Tho Gael of the island.

Laughter and tears, ordinary hopes
and pleasures, and even joy itself, and
bright gaiety, and the swift spontane-
Gus imaginations of susceptible ma
tures-all this, OF course, is to be
found with the island Gael, as with his
fellows elsewhere. But every here and
there are some who have in their
minds the inheritance from the dim
past of their race, and are oppressed
as no other people are oppressed by
the gloom of a strife between spiritual
emotion and material facts 1t is the
brains of dreamers such as these
which clear the mental life of com
munity; and it is these brains are
the mysterious looms which weave
the tragic and sorrowful tapestries of
Celtic thought. 1t were madness to
suppose that life in the island con-
sists of nothing but sadness or melan-
choly. 1t is not SO, nor need not be so,
for the Gael is the creature of shadow
and shine. But whatever the people
are the brain of the Gael hears a music
sadder than any music there is, and
has for its cloudy sky a gloom that
shall not go; for the end is near, and
on the westernmost shores of these re-
mote isles the voice of Celtic sorrow
may be heard crying, Cha till, cha
till, cha till, mi tuille' OF will re-
turn, | will return, | will return no
more. )-Fiona Macleod.

According to her story of it, there
was one woman survivor aboard the
wrecked Scotsman who retained her
presence of mind throughout the dread
full ordeal. She was one of thirteen
women who was let down by ropes into
one of the lifeboats, and before she
was let down she had the thoughtful
ness to go to her stateroom and put
flask of whisky into her satchel, which
she fastened to her life preserver. The
sea was high. and the four sailors in
charge Of the life boat became ex-
hausted by their herculean task of
managing the boat and baling out the
waves which threatened to swamp
them. 1t was at this critical juncture
that the whisky was brought into
requisition, SO that everybody in the
boat was finally rescued. It is their
testimony that it was the contents of
the flask that saved them--Kansas
