Talk to Farm Boys.

There is desire on the part of
many boys raised on the farm to seek
employment in the city. There seems
to be sort of fasination in city life,
becaue of the greaer advantage in
amusements and education. The
farmer boys idea of city life is that
it is one of extreme enjoyment and
perfect contentment, and by COM
parsion he thinks his own a life of
drudgery. When he looks al and en-
vies the well-dressed city boy, he
does not see the temptations and
evil influences that surround him,
nor think of the effect of impure air
and sedentary habits upon the body.
He is governed only by appearance.
The country boy is as free as the
birds of the air. He comes under
the most wholesome influences and
is not subjected daily to those aw-
full temptations which lead to cor
ruption and degradion, those evil
influences which work their way so
quietly and yet SO surely into ones
life. He is in a position to develop
a sound body and sound mind, and
the conditions under which he is
brought up give him stability and
determination. Heis accustomed o
hard work, is permitted to share
some of the care and responsibility
connected with earning a livelihood,
and when thrown on his own re-
rources is able tn meet the stern
realities of life face to face, without
timidity and without fear of should
ering any burden which may be
placed upon him. He may not have
the polish that mental training gives,
but he is familiar with the practical
affairs of life. One may become
familiar with the sciences, may have
a technical knowledge of the class
les, and yet have to rely on his tai
ents for livelihood. The one who
becomes acquainted with the fun
damental principles of the ruling
forces of the world is building on a
substantial foundation. Upon the
recognized principles of right and
wrong hangs the success or failure
of every enterprise. The country
boy is in a position to acquire prac-
teal knowledge at small expense,
which will be more useful to him
than any amount of ornamental
learning. AS far as superiority is
concerned, it may be in evidence in
a farmer as well as anyone. 1t is
brought about, not by the occupa-
ton, but by the organization of the
faculties, the absolute adherence TO
the universally recognized principl-
es of right. II il falls to your lot
to be countrybred, be proud of the
fact and improve your opportunities,
which will bring you to the height of
your ambition.-E. d. HougIand, in
Praine Farmer.

Unterrified.

Senator-elect ice Blackburn is fam
ed far and wide for his apparently in
exhaustible fund of anecdotes. 1.-The
Senator has an unconscious streak of
humor and some good stories are told
en- him which he never recited," said a
prominent Blue Grass politician the
other day. 81 remember when Mr..
Blackburn was practiclng law in Ken
lucky, which may show that he fears
nothing. A young fellow came into
his Office, and, after showing some rec
concentrations and expressing a long
ing desire to get wor of some kind was
given an opportunity to do something.
Mr., Blackburn handed him a writ and
told him to go to a certain house and
serve the paper on the tenant. Now
don't come back and say you couldn't
find him. he cautioned. Nail it to the
door if you have to, but serve it. The
eager young man started out and re-
turned an hour later, minus his hat
and collar and with his face covered
with bruises, and his clothes tern in
to shreds.
80 Well said Mr., Blackburn, did
you serve it?' No, sir said the bat
tered employe. The tenant licked me
and told me to bring the paper back to
you Blackburn arose from his chair
and towering up with indignation,
said: Here. sub, take that writ back
and serve it on that tenant, sub, and
tell him, for me. suh that by -.
sub, he can't intimidate me through
you, sub. st. Louis Republic.

All arrangements have been made to

Big Publishing House Fails.

New York, March 22.-Justice
Bischoff, of the Supreme Court, today
appointed j. Hampden Dougherty re-
ceiver for d. Appleton & Co., publish
ers, on application of Daniel Prlchard,
a stakeholder. The bond of the re-
ceiver was fixed at $15O,000. The liza
biliJies are $1,11O,O0O. The assets con-
sist of stock and outstanding accounts
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the re-or-
ganization committee, says that he is
confident the concern can be liquidat-
ed so that there will be no loss to cred
itors. The firm will go on conducting
its business in the same way, only
that it will be under receivers
charge.
On February 1, d. Appleton G. Co.
gave out balance sheet to their stock
holders that showed a balance of $3,-
6O4,O23. including s19O,3S7 cash in
hands. The liabilities We're given the
same as essets The balance sheet fl
ed today shows that the cash on hand
was about exhausted, while bills re-
ceivable declined from $1,140,O0O to
$1,l10,000, owing to the account which
went by default yesterday, the firm be-
ing unable to meet it. A statement
has been issued by d. Appleton G Co.,
in which they say:
1.-The present situation is owing not
to undue business risk nor to losses,
but mainly to the fact that through
the extension of our business on the
installment contract basis (Which con-
tracts amount to fully 100000 now
outstanding and in due course collect
able) our capital became inadequate to
meet our maturities."

In the death of George M. Wood
bridge yesterday one of the strong
links which has connected the past
with the present was broken. A man
of unusual mind and force of charac-
ter is with us no more.
Mr.. Woodbridge had for years been
looked upon as an oracle in whose
mind was stored a vast amount of in
formation which he alone knew; and
upon him were made repeated drafts
for the information and benefit of the
general public.
Aside from being a well-informed
and able man, Mr.. Woodbridge was a
most charming man to meet, being an
excellent talker; and he was a fluent
writer as well, as many of his writings
in the public prints will give lasting
testimony.
After a life of large usefulness in
business, politics and as an instructor
in a general way, Mr.. Woodbridge
could we'll look back upon his part as
one of large benefit to his fellows.

, in raising soldiers and funds for his
country's service. In 1863 he was ap-
pointed assessor of internal revenue
, and served faithfully in this capacity
until 1872
Since that time Mr.. Woodbridge has
lived retired life, devoting his time
to literary pursuits. His work in this
line has been extensive and has relat-
ed to historical topics, as confined to
the history of Washington county and
Marietta and the leading men of pio-
neer days. 1t was one of his wishes
to write a biography of each of the
forty-eight pioneers and during the
past few years he had collected data
for the work which was begun and
partially accomplished during his last
illness.
He was a man of marked ability as
a public speaker and in that line as
well as in others. devoted his talents
to the good of his country and fellow
men.
Mr.. Woodbridge was an earnest
Christian, having been converted at
Athens college at the age of sixteen.
He was Methodist.
Four children, two sons and two
daughters, survive him: Miss Maria
P. Woodbridge, of this city; Mrs. John
A. Gallaher of Bellaire o.; and George
NJ. Woodbridge and l.. S. Woodbridge,
both of indianapolis, Ind.
Last year Mr.. Woodbridge and
daughter spent the summer at Oak
land, Maryland. and it was there, on
August 23 that he fell and received in
juries that caused him to spend the
last seven months of his life in bed or
wheel chair. His decline has been
gradual, and he has been patient
sufferer, retaining the use Of his every
faculty until the last.
The remains were removed to the
family residence, 22i Third street,
last evening, and the funeral will be
held sometime Monday, the hour to be
announced later. The funeral will not
be private.

Concerning Street Arches.

Marietta, O.. is among the list of
Ohio cities which appreciates a good
thing and which knows what a good
thing is. Residents and officials of
that city who have visited Columbus
have been struck with the beauty of
the electric arches which span High
street, and are now contemplating
putting in few of the same kind.
They want good ones while they are at
1t, and fer that reason have written to
the Mayor of the city asking that he
give them all the information he can
relative to the construction of the
arches, their cost, etc. In order to
make no mistakes, the request that
they be furnished with pen sketches,
showing the construction of the arches
the cost of the same to be paid by the
city of Marietta.
Mayor Swartz will refer the COM
municarfon to the Edison company,
which constructed the arches.-Co-
lumbus Dispatch.

The death cf Hon. George NJ. Wood
bridge occurred at Grace Hospital at A
o'clock Friday evening, after an i'll
ness of seven months due to injuries
| received by fall last summer. For
the past few days the family and
friends have realized that the end was
approaching, but nevertheless to them
his death comes as a shock. Mr.
Woodbridge, tco, realized his condi-
ton, but he came to the close of long
and useful life without murmur or
complaint.
The Woodbridge family have been
connected with the history Of Wash
| ington county from the earliest period
of its settlement Judge Woodbridge
and his son, Dudley Woodbridge, Jr.,
the latter the father of the subject of
this sketch, were among the early set
tiers in Marietta and it was here on
October 8, 1914, that George Morgan
Woodbridge was born.
He received his early education in
the schools Of Marietta, completing it
at what is now Ohio University at
Athens and later spent year in trav-
el in Europe. AS early as 1887 he was
engaged in the mercantile business
with his father in Marietta and in
1S42-43 served as member of the State
Legislature. In Columbus he became
acquainted with Miss Lizzie Hensley, a
Kentucky lady, whom he married in
1874, and who was to him a faithful
wife until her death in January, 1899.
After his service in the Legislature
he engaged in the buying and selling
Of land, and was at one time proprie-
tor of six thousand acres of Washing
ton county lands.
He was a delegate to the first Re-
publican National convention, the cne
which met in 1856 and nominated
John c. Fremont for the Presidency
When the war broke out in 1861 he
was past the military age, but he en-
tered the struggle with all his powers
and during the Rebellion was active

as inevitable as his defeat, and conse-

in unnecessary plotting.
1t is not positively known in Wash
ington whether Mr.. Bryan was re-
! sponsible for the appearance of the in
itiative and referendum plank in the
platform adopted by the Nebraska
Democrats, or merely acquiesced in it
as bait to hold Populist votes. If the
former, and he intends to try to have a
similar plank put in the Kansas City
platform, he can prepare to face SER

are openly announcing their intention

( Senator Morgan, said: "Such a plat
form as was adopted by the Nebraska
, Democrats, with a candidate who en-
dorses it, seriously endangers our
chances Of success. We cant hope to
win by adopting Populistic ideas"
Secretary Root returned from Cuba
this week much pleased with his trip,
from both a personal and an official
point of view. He says that he found
that the Cubans were making greater
progress. both industrially and politi-
cally, than they are usually credited
with by well-informed Americans. He
doubts whether they will be able to
hold their municipal elections on the
lst CT May, as intended Asked what
about the probability Of annexation,
Secretary Root said: 81 do not con-
slider annexation practical question
at present. Undoubtedly there are
Cubans, and others, agitating annaxa-
ticn, but the great mass Of the people
on the island are busy getting ready
for the establishment of a govern
ment. After that has been accomp-
lished the annexation question can be
discussed"
The House spent three days in de-
batting the Loud bill for the regulation |
Of second-class mail matter, after
which the bill was passed. The bill |
with slight notifications is the same
that passed the House in the last Con-
gress, but failed to get through the
Senate. Mr.. Loud claims that 1t would
save the government O,OOO, 900 a year
If it were a law.

The Politician.

Washington, March 23-Presldent
CKinley has signed the bill providing
for the expenditure Of all the money
collected upder the Dingley Tariff Law
on Porto Rican products for public
purposes in Porto Rico, and the ma
chinery is already in operation to put
| the money on hand-considerabl
more than s2.OOO,OOO-to immediate
use on the island.
The situation in the Senate as to the
bill providing a civil form of govern
ment for Porto Rican products has not
materially changed during the week.
Senator Foraker, who is in charge of
the bill, has made a careful canvass of
the Senate and is confident that the
bill can be passed, but he and his ad-
visers. including President Mckinley,
do not care to have the bill voted upon
while there are eight or ten Republi-
can Senators who are opposed to the
tariff feature of the bill. Although
President Mckinley and the entire
cabinet are Of the opinion that cir
cumstances have made it necessary to
put small duty on Porto Rican pro-
ducts, they have advised delay in the
interests Of securing party harmony,
and there is every reason to believe
that it will in the end be secured and
a bill be passed that will receive the
vote of all the Republican Senator'S.
Among President McKinleys callers
this week was Hen. Frank Jones, who
for a quarter of a century was leader
of the New Hampshire Democrats.
Mr.. Jones has renounced all connec-
tion with the Democratic party and
announced his intention to take the
stump for the reelection of President
Mckinley, of which, he says, there
isn't shadow of doubt.
The time within which the reciproc-
tty treaty with France may be ratified /
has been extended one year, but Sena- |!
tor Davis, whose strong report in ia
vor OF the treaty was submitted to the |
Senate this week, is confident that the !
treaty will be ratified at this session.
The Bryanites in Congress are very
easy to frighten, Notwithstanding their |
belief that Mr.. Bryan has the nomina-
lion we'll tied down. 1t so happened
his week that two ex-members of Mr..
cabinet-Don Dickinson
Ind Hoke Smith-neither of whom
Worship either Bryan or the Chicago
platform, were in Washington at the
anne time. Naturally the two men
net. Their meeting was magnifed by
he Bryanites into a conspiracy deep
md dark, which had for its object the
heft of the Democratic nomination in
he interest of Mr.. Cleveland or some
'ther gold Democrat. The name of
x-Governor Campbell, of Ohio. who is
lso in Washington, was mixed up in
he stories OF the eonpiracy. 1t Is very
that neither one OF the three

Why It Is.

Pohick is station on the o. R. R.
located on the Henderson farm. There
have been numerous inquiries as to
how it acquired that peculiar name.
We are informed that in the early days
OF Virginia there was an Episcopal
church located at a place called Po-
hick, and the church was designated
by that name. Mr.. Henderson, the
grandfather of the Messrs. Henderson,
OF Williamstown, owned a large estate
in Prince William county. and was a
member Of the Pohick church, and
gave the name to his estate in honor
of his church. When the family en-
igrated TO West Virginia and located
At Williamstown, it was decided to
perpetuate the old name, and the hill
in the rear of the Henderson residence
was chr istened Pohick. and such ii ha,
remained ever since.-Sentinel.
