Nearly fifty years ago the ShoeblacA
brigade was started in North London.
and since then the small box with the
footrest, the backing and the brushes
and the boy with or without uniform
has become recognized and almost
indispensable institution in every
large town. But now 1t seems that an
automatic shoeblack has been invent
ed, and a penny-in-the-slot will Sc
cure the desired result. You put your
foot in a black hole supplied with
brushes, and the coin sets the mechan-
ism in motion. which brushes, blacks
and polishes in an incredibly short
space Of time. The humble shoeblack.
Ike so many other honest citizens,
may have to 90 down before the ad-
vance OF machinery.

Respiration Of the Soul.


Prayer Is what some one has called
"the slender nerve that moveth the
muscles OF omnipotence." Prayer is
the healthful respiration OF the soul.
1t is the whisper of helplessness into
the ear Of help. 1t is laying hold OF
almightiness. omniscience and omni-
presence at one and the same time.
Prayer enlists all divine and angelic
reinforcement. Prayer Is laying hold
OF pulley fastened to the heavenly
throne. Prayer Ia the frst breath Of
a newborn soul and 1t is heard In the
last gasp Of earthly Christian expert
ences. Prayer! In an instant II

seraph nor archangel ever few swifter

her mothers knee. What an oppor-
tunity is prayer. Why not oftener use

we live. what better hopes would we

A TERRIFIC FIGHT
Between Horse and a Bull
Dog.

A bloody duel was fought Saturday
at-Rouzerville, near Hagerstown, be-
tween S. A. Buhrnam's thoroughbred
horse and his thoroughbred bulldog.
The latter went into the stable after
a rat and the horse kicked him. The
blow would have killed a man but not
the dog. The dog tried TO grab the
horses throat, but, failing, tore the
flesh open on the animals breast.
The horse bit, stamped and kicked
the dog, which bit and slashed the
horses legs and body furiously 1t
finally seized the horses flank and
hung fast. Mr.. Buhrnam tried to
pull the dog off, and then ran pitch
fork through it but it chung to the
horse. They then had to maui the
dog nearly to death to free its hold.
1t again and again tried to get to the
horse, and only after they had fairly
Drained the brute did it give up the
fight. A veterinarian stopped the
hemorrhage, cauterized and stitched
the horses wounds. The dog had the
better of the fight, and would GER
tainly have killed the horse if it had
been let alone. -Cumberland Times.

Spare the Birds.

At this season OF the year many
of our feathered songsters are re-
turning to us for the Spring and
Summer and many of them can al
ready be seen and heard in the early
morning. It has been a custom in
former years for boys and in some
cases men, to 90 cunning for robins
and such birds. It's violation OF
law but worse than that even, it is a
most cruel act, as these birds are
not only valuable as song birds but
are insectiyerous and are Of much
value in destroying damaging in
sects on growing crops. Spare the
birds.

Closing Services.

The closing service Of the week of
prayer was held last night, at the
Methodist Episcopal church. A
large audience filled the lecture room.
Several persons asked the prayers
of the church that they may secure
a better religious experience and
live more usefully. The pastor
preached from David's words Re
store unto me the joy OF Thy Saliva
ton"
He discussed these four questions.
What is the Salvation of God? What
type of JOY does its possession guar
antee? How do some Christians
forfeit this spiritual gladness? How
may we again secure this religious
enjoyment?

Ill--Need Of The Family is Growing
Dire-Chnritahls Inclined People
Should aid Them Mt Once Father
Has Fever and Mother Dead.

The case of Harry Everly. of the
West Side. has been called to the
attention OF the New DOMINION and
we are asked to inform cur readers
of it so that they may take the prop
er steps to alleviate the distress in
which he and his family finds them
selves, They are in desperate
stra2hts,
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Eyerly died last winter OF measles
after short illness and lett her
husband with SIX children Oh his
hands. He has removed from the
farm to the West Side OF the river
aud had been working until he took
sick.
Since he came to town the child
rem have been sick very often and
one of them is now very low with
pneumonia Three others are also
down sick making four out of the
six that are sick. This week the
distress OF the family was still FUR
Their increased by Mr.. Everly falling
i'll himself with fever and the chances
are that he will have very bad case
of it.
Under the present circumstances
the family are in dire need and any
thing that can be done for them by
the charitable people Of the town
should be done and done at once. Mr.
Everly is hard working man and is
in every way worthy object of
charity.
The men at the brick yard who
know him have been doing all that
theY can for the sick man and fami-
" and they have told US Of the cir
eunstanees in the hone that other
aid may be extended to them. The
christian people Of the town will un-
donbtedly take what steps that may
be necessary in the premises
The family lives near the brick
yard. They ought to be looked af
ter at once.

the date for the holding of the Re

held in this place from May Sth to
May 7th, This will relieve our town
OF what promised to be most serious

day contains very complimentary
notice of the candidacy for Congress
Of our townsman, Judge Meredith
Unfortunately for Meredith the Her
aid is published ia the First District.
From personal standpoint we would
be glad to see such a notice In every
Republican paper in this district,
but up to this time but few of them
have seen fit to follow our neighbof
of the Virginian ia its support Of Mr.
Meredith. However in looking the
field over, it seems TO us that Dayton
is lap or two ahead at this time,
but Meredith is a close second. while
Holt and Pitzer are far behind and
each shows fatigue and has tenden-
cy TO throw ap his tail when urged on
by his rider There is much more
than fighting chance for Meredith.
