Nothing New.

M~oundsville Echo.
A Wheeling minister airs himself
in the Wheeling Intelligencer of this
morning o. the great moral and sani-
tary improvements at the ~penitentiary
under the superintendency of Warden
Hawk. The minister says that under
Warden Hawks administration prayer
and praise service with preaching by
some minister is held each Sunday
morning; after these services the in
mates are privileged to walk the yards
and converse freely. A school room
has also been fitted UP where the Tilt
crate are taught the rudiments of a
common education.
We would ask this pious political
preacher if he doesn't know for a fact
that these same moral, religious and
educational rules have been practiced
in the prison for the past nine years
at least.

REMARKABLE RAILROAD EARN.
NGS

INGS.
ApropoSsto the announced gigantic
railroad combine the figures showing
the amount Of business handled last
year by the railroads will be Of de-
cided interest, as the companies in the
syndicate control the.bulk of this tre-
mendous traffic. the profits from which
will be vastly increased by the syndi-
Gated arrangement and pooling of in
terests, ever though rates may be left
untouched or even If substantially re-
duced, as they should be. The Finan-
cial Chronicle publishes returns from
one hundred and nineteen companies
for twelve months, and ffty-nine COM
panies for eleven months, which show
gross receipts of 81, PIC, 490, 466, or a gain
over those of 1898 Of STA 500, 900.
These figures apply to the business of
companies operating over 1853, 900 miles.
The Financial Chronicle estimates that
for all the roads in the country the
gain in gross for the year
must have been $4,000 900. The full
significance of this gain may be better
appreciated when it is remembered that
it follows an increase of SIS, 316. 719 in
1897 and gains of some magnitude in
1896 and 1896.
It will be seen that the great railroad
combine now being perfected will be
n of the most gigantic combinations
of capital and earning capacity of
modern times and will exercise a tre-
mendous power for good or evil on the
business of the country. a..

THE HORRORS OF MAcoeeURc.
No Such victory Since the Taking Of
Troy.


No Such victory Since the Taking of
Troy.
While Gustavus was hlndered from
coming to its relief Madgeburg was in.
vested by the forces of Tilly, with
those of Count Pappenheim, who
served under him, writes Stephen
Crane in New Lippincott, Having or
dered the elector Of Saxony to comply.
with the edict of restitution and to
order Madgeburg to surrender, and
having received a firm refusal, Tilly
proceeded March 30, 1851, to conduct
the siege personally with great vigor,
and finally after a long, heroic de-
fense, his men carried it by storm
May 20. Falkenberg was one of the
first to fall. Then began the storied
horrors Of Madgeburg, the slaughter of
the soldiers, the citizens, the children,
the murder of the women, many of
whom killed themselves to escape the
demons let loose by Tilly.
Many Germans felt pity for the
wretched women delivered into their
hands, but the Walloons of Pappen-
helms army were monsters of brutal
fury. The scenes Of crime in Madge-
burg were unsurpassed in animal in
sanity by anything that has been re-
corded When some officers of the
league, sickened with these sights, APP
pealed to Tilly to stop them, he said:
"The soldier must have some reward
for his danger and his labors"
The inhabitants themselves, it is
said set fire to the city in twelve diff
ferent places, preferring to be buried
under the walls to yielding, but some
authorities say it was fired by Pap
penhei.h. Only the cathedral and fifty
houses were left from the condagra-
ton; the rest had gone to ruin, SCOT
and ashes.
At last on May 23, Tllly walked
through the ruined streets of the city.
More than 6000 bodies had been thrown
into the Elbe. A much greater num-
Der of living and dead had been con-
sumed in the flames. Altogether 30OCd
We're killed.
On the 18th a re Deum was chanted
in the cathedral by Tilly's orders, and
he wrote to his emperor that since the
taking Of Troy and the destruction Of
Jerusalem no such victory had been
seen. He then marched his men away
through the Hartz Mountains, avoid
ing meeting with Gustayus.

If you say to a child: Il will give you

The happiest lot for a man, as far

delight, are exposed the brilliant re.
suits Of all this whirring and clicking
together with what the rare fabrics
have been turned into by the deft fin
gers Of dressmakers. All countries
are here represented and in the great
scale of things exposed one finds many
which have but roundabout. il any
connection with the words that give
the building its name. For instance
there is case after case of the finest
specimens Of plumes for millinery and
dressmaking; a greater number, il
possible, filed with everything that
the mind has ever conceived in the
way of footwear from the shapely and
sensible walking boot to the tiny high.

buckles of strass, bieges with a stifi
little bow, held in the middle by
large topaz, white with buckle Of
rubies, etc. There is a towering bow
er too, in the French section, into
which from both sides open pretty
Louis XIV. booths, where the scent OF
every blossom that blows will be ex-
hibited in the most attractive bottles
and boxes. There are cases filled with
fans, rare and exquisite-gay, gauzy
ones from Spain that look like the
wings of butterflies and birds, rich
ones painted by great artists, with
sticks enriched with precious stones:
artificial flowers and shrubs, rhodo-
dendrons and oleanders in full bloom,
so real as to prove a source of con-
slant discussion in the rows of peo-
pie who stand in surprise and admira-
tion before them-in a word, there is
here everything that a woman can
dream Of to set off and heighten her
beauty. And withal this is only hair
of what there will be. The large cases
bearing the names of the greatest

empty or covered with canvas. They

Tho Natives Object.

The United States authorities in
Porto Rico are witnessing now the un,
pleasant sequel of charity-ths unwill-
ingness Of those on whom it has been
bestowed to go back to work. Last
August a frightful hurricane swept the
island and deprived the majority OF
the inhabitants of their food resources.
There was nothing to do but feed
them or let them starve. Public and
private charity came to their relief.
The policy of feeding them until they
were able to plant and gather new
crops was adopted unhesitatingly. It
was assumed that by the beginning CT
this year it would be possible to stop
Issuing rations. But when that time
came it was found impossible to stop
entirely. An aggregate Of 100000 ra-
tions daily is yet being issued. It
has been decided to quit this business
entirely before the close of the month.
but the natives are making loud OBJ
iections.

which inhabit the immense forests

Ors by hunters who often shoot inno-

Since every adult woman in New

lty with men so far as voting for par

to sit in Parliament. There has never
been any demand from women them
