PARKERSBURG, w. Va, August 30
DR.. II. B. Stout, OF this city. returned to-
day from Writ county. where he assisted
in an operation upon the skull of Mrs.
Samuel Shepherd. who was almost muir
dered nine days ago. Two pieces of the
fractured skull, each three inches long.
We're removed and a third piece, which
was imbedded in the brain. Dr. Stout
says Mrs Shepherd has one chance in a
hundred for recovery. Once yesterday
she recovered consciousness long enough
to murmur yes when the woman who was
caring for her asked if she knew her.
She has taken nourishment every day
since she was found. Shepherd still main
tains an air OF Indifference as to her fate
or the boys, but worries more over the
stock on his farm than anything else. A
prominent merchant from Writ county
expresses the opinion that there will GER
tainly be a lynching If Mrs Shepherd dies.

ing tie first furry of excitement, but
it is now believed that they may re-
sumo their duties without personal
danger.
Mr.. Conger's cable, made public this
morning, is of special interest, because
OF his reference to the coming to Pekin
OF Prince Ching. In d recent dispatch
Mr.. Conger stated that several mem
bers OF the Tsung Ii Yamen were in
Pekin and would soon appear publicly.
These facts indicate that there is gath
erlng at Pekin respectable fragment
of the Chinese government, which may
afford the basis sought by our gov
eminent and that OF Russian for peace
negotiations. Prince Ching is well
known to be friendly to the foreign
ers, and his coming to Pekin, probably
by direction OF the Empress Dowager,
iIdicaeS that the Imperial government
is willing 10 sue for terms, with the
real purpose of submission. II is ini-
possible to tell from Mr.. CongerS dis
patch when it was sent from Pekin,
but his statement that the imperial
palace was to be entered last Tuesday
places its date very early IN the week
at least.
The Chinese Minister Left
at 10 O'Clock this morning for Cape
May, where he will join his wife. Be
fore leaving he made a trip To the
State Department and was with Acting
Secretary Adee for few minutes. he
said he had received nothing from
China and had come in quest OF inror-
nation. The minister displayed great
interest in the pending diplomatic ne
gotl9donS between tAe powers. he
went directly from the State Depart
meut 20 the train. His absence from
ile city at this elyne was taken as fur
Their evidence that Jhere is a halt in
negotiations SO far as the Chinese Of
fioaals are concerned. The minister
was quite anxious that his departure
for Cape May should not be made
known and for Jhat reason he lett no
word as 10 how long he would stay at
the seas,hore.
The Russian Charge d'Affaires, NJ.
De Wollant, also is at Cape May and
in view OF the part Russia is taking
in the present negotiations there Is a
possibility that the minister and the
Russian Charge may confer.

a Builders Suggestion That Chang
ed the Plans of a Pope.
At time when there was great suf-
fering among the people from lack Of
food and when famine in it's worst
form was threatened Pope Alexander
VI had made arrangements for the
erection of a magnificent palace. The
best architects had been employed, and
the plans had been submitted and ac-
cepted, and an accomplished builder
had been sent for to come from Venice,
a man whose work had won for him re-
nown and who was known to be just
and upright man.
The builder had arrived, and at an
appointed time ne waited upon his ho-
Hness to receive the plans and make his
estimates. "There is one thing yet to
be DONE" said the pope. There has
been no proper inscription or legend
thought of to be placed over the main
entrance of the palace 1t should be
put above the great gate. You have
had experience. Do you think of an
inscription that would be APPROPRIATED"
IF your holiness would pardon me
for the liberty, l might suggest one
most appropriate at this time"
You are pardoned in advance" said
the pope, smiling. Now, what shall it
be-?
Sovereign pontiff, let it be thus:
command that these stones be made
breadv'
The pope was visibly and deeply af-
fected. He paid the builder munifcent-
ly for his expenses Of coming and go
ing. and instead of building his palace
he fed the hungry ones of his children.

Dropping so blithely from out of the gloom,
Down from the easement that has the red bowers

Faooding with sunshine my poor little room
Only laugh, but know well whose choice it is;
oh, can guess whose the lips that can chat,
Whose is the smiling mouth whose bubbling voice
it is,
Putting such perfume in only laugh!
Only !; laugh! My lone life is so shadowy,
Hinged with the darkness that solitude grows,
Most of the brightness missed, most of its glad
away,
Most of its tenderness chilled by the SHOWS.
Only a laugh but SO muck of the gay in it
Oh were there love 'twould be sweeter by half!
/ could forget that my hair has its gray in it
We're it for me than-only laugh!

happy, and the loss Of his wife was a
blow which Greeley did not long sur
