Work on the Reed & Million shingle
mill at Mt. Argus, WASH, ia progress
ing very satisfactorily. The machin-
cry is being put in as rapidly as it ar
nves. The company has received the
new Sturdevant fan for the hot blast in
the dry house. This monster piece of
machinery weighs $4,000 pounds and
is 120 inches in diameter. 1t Is the
biggest piece of machinery of the kind
in that county, and probably the big
gest in any shingle mill on the coast.

Many causes have combined to make
the year 1899 q rather remarkable one.
Its opening was signalized by SPANS
surrender Of the last vestige Of her SOW
ereignty In the western hemisphere; Its
progress brought forth the declaration OF
war between England and the Transvaal
Republic, and its close leaves these ma
tons still engaged in a bloody contest,
that may result in important political
changes in South Africa. During the
year the fighting between the natives
and United States troops in the Philip
pines has continued and the war Is yet on.
Other events, aside from warfare, that
have occupied public attention to great
er or less extent have been: Signing OF
the treaty of peace with Spain; settle
ment Of difficulties in the Samoan ISL
ands; trial, conviction and pardon OF Cap
tain Alfred Dreyfus in France; numer-
Gus large fires that have destroyed many
lives and much property; tornadoes that
caused disaster and death at Kirksville,
Mo-, in April, and at New Richmond,
Wis, in June; several fatal shipwrecks;
deaths Of prominent men, among them
President Felix Faure Of France, Carrot
A. Hobart, Vice-President Of the United
States, and Robert G. Ingersoll; great
street car strike at Cleveland and labor
riots at Pana and Carterville, LII.
A brief chronological transcript Of the
years events Is given below;

From the AdmiraI's Hands.
During the latter half OF RABBI
Lewis address, Lieut.. Doddridge stood
facing him with his hands crossed be-
hind his back. When he concluded
he placed the sword in the hands OF
the Admiral.
Admiral Dewey arose, and as lie
faced Lieut.. Doadridge, the audience
arose, and broke forth into the most
enthusiastic demonstration of the aft
ernoon, lasting fully minute. Both
men bowed smilingly. When quiet
was restored, the Admiral said in his
full. rotund voice:
1T gives me great pleasure in the
presence of this splendid audience, to
hand to a gallant and brave young Of
ficer this beautiful sword, a gift OF the
people of your native city"
That was all. 1t was a speech OF
characteristic comment and brevity,
but it was spoken in tones which
rang with sincerity. Then there was
another outburst of enthusiasm, and
the color came to the cheeks of the
young naval officer, unused to such
scenes.
He started to reply. and was forced
several times to stop from emoar-
rassment, but the audience helped
him out. 1t applauded generously
and he was made to feel that his mod
esty was understood and appreciated
Reassured his proceeded.

honor could be paid a young naval of
ficer than for a sword, gift from his
native city. to come TO him through
the hands of the most DISTINGUISHED
officer in the Navy. l thank you all
most heartily
The young Lieutenant was fairly
overwhelmed. If he had a little
speech prepared, he forgot it. He
gave expression to his gratitude in a
manner which proved his sincerity
The audience did the rest. Seldom or
never has the city of Wheeling paid
such high honor to one OF Lieut.. bod
bridges years.
Il pledge myself to hold this sword
as you would have me to--ever at the
service of my country were his con-
Guiding words.
The chorus then rendered Column

exercises were at close.

Illness Prevented Admiral Dewey
From Attending the Function.
Was a Brilliant Affair, Given mt the

From G.. w. Brockunier - The
Guests-The Menu-The Toasts.

There was a succession of disap-
pointments in connection with the
Dewey demonstration, that extended
to the annual dinner of the West Vir-
ginia Society of Sons of the Revolt
ton. Admiral Dewey, who had ac-
cepted an invitation to be the guest
of the society, was fatigued from par
ticipation in the programme of the
day, and sent word that he could not
attend. To those who called at his
car, the information was given that
he had retired early. Otherwise the
dinner was a brilliant success.
1t was given in the dining room OF
the Mcclure. Covers were laid for
about one hundred guests. The table
was arranged in ''T'' shape. with
the guests of honor occupying seats at
the head. Through the centre Of the
table was a mass of smilax and other
greenery, forming background for
pink and white carnations. In one
corner of the dining room the Opera
House Orchestra was stationed. The

THE PASSOVER AND EASTER.
The Variation Between the Jewish
and the Christian Festival.

Since the events of holy week and
the resurrection took place during
the Jewish passover, 1t seems
strange that the celebration in
the synagogues and in Christian
churches should not always be at
the same time. The explanation is
that the Jewish calendar, which
dates from the creation of the
world, IS regulated by the rabbis.
Their system is based on the lunar
month, which is often nearly two
days shorter than the month Of the
Christian calendar. Corrections are
made, but instead of a day such as
is in leap year an entire month Is
added, so that some Jewish years
consist of l3 months, AS Easter al.
ways fall on the first Sunday follow
ing the full moon next after March
2l this additional month in certain
years causes variation between
the passover and the Christian
festival.--Selected.

GENERAL BobTH-TUCKER
Is Welcomed to TeSarkana, the Gate
= Way to the Lone Star State, by
Mayor Winham in Neat
Little Speech.

Little opeeen'
General Booth Tucker, who is at
the head ofthe salvation Army in
the United States, passed through
here yesterday on his way to Fit.
Worth and other cities in Texas and
California. The Salvation Army at
this post requested Mayor Winham,
on behalf of the city and them
selves, to be at the depot and de-
liver an address of %elcome to the
distinguished gentleman, to which
the Mayor readily equsented.
When the swift revolving wheels
of the train came toea stop and the
local members of the army found
and escorted Commander Booth.
Tucker in front of Mayor Winham,
the Mayor said in part: 1t gives me
pleasure. to have the opportunity
to welcome to our city Commander
and Consul Booth-Tdcker of the
Salvation Army. Hetis the Com
mander of this Army for the Unit
ed States of America; an Army
whose inspiration is the service of
the lowly Nazarine, whose purpose
is to lift up the fallen, to strength
en- the weak, and to give courage
and resolution to the faiut-hearted.
We are gIadito have the Commander
of this benifcent force stop here
and speak to us Of his wonderful
work of love, and Of his deeds of
kindness and charity. But, my
dear Commander, We have some
what of complaint to make with
thee: that you have notarranged so
you could spend a longer time in
this beautiful city, the queen of the
South and the West. If ever again
you pass this way we shall be de-
lighted to have you stop with us
longer, and enjey the hospitality OF
our good people.
After Mayor Winham hsd his say
the Commander took his ihprovised
stand and thanked the Mayor and
the Salvation Army present for the
handsome reception accorded him.
He then gave short resume of
the work the army was engaged in.
He said: -Four years ago there
were but 600 persons in the various
shelter institutions of the army,
but now there are 1000. He said
that he had organized and had
three colonies in the United States
and they we're all hourishing, that
he now had a colonization scheme in
embryo in Colorado and had plans
for sanitarium for poor consump-
tives in that state. The Comman-
der said he had land offered him
daily for colonization purposes and
that he was trying to raise a ST.
100000 and should he accomplish
this three more colonies would
be located and those people who
would people the colonies would be
taken from the large cities. He
said the Army had but one object in
view to do good, lead people to bet
ter lives and make them so live that
better life in the hereafter
awaited them. After closing his ex.
cellent speech, he called on the ad-
jutant to close in prayer, which he
did in an appropriate manner.
The train remained at the station
30 minutes and the members of the
Salvation Army at this place spent
the time in talking to their chief.
