spoken aginst her by the defendant.
The plaintiff claims that she is a
widow living with her brother, one

long said things about heI, from which
she attempts TO draw the conclusion
that Mrs. Delong meant that she. Mrs.

POETS AND MILLIONAlRES.

An authority remarks that there are
and not twenty good poets. Probably
this is putting the number of poets d
little high. OF course there is always
Ella Wheeler Wilcox and several 9TH
ers, but the number doesn't approxi-
mate twenty, or anything like it. This
statement is based on the expression
good poets" There are many poets
who are morally good, but whose poe
try hasn't morally good influence. 1t
is the kind of poetry that makes
swearers of men who never swore be-
fore. On the other hand, a good poet
isn't necessarily a moral man. The
late William Shakespeare was a good
poet, but it's quite likely that he'd BE-
just the man to slip lot of duiable
goods past the suctoms inspector if he
thought he could.
Lord Byron was another good poet
but if he hadn't been lame there is no
doubt he would have been on the golf
links every blessed Sunday.
And this will draw attention to the
fact that the man who presents these
figures doesn't qualify the million
aires in any way. A million is a mil
lion, not matter what its maker may
be. There is no morality in an excess
siye accumulation of money. When
money talks everybody stands in re-
spectful silence-no matter how dull
the tale it tells.
Besides, this is not poetical age. A
little blank verse that revolves around
stocks and dollars, and tickers and
points, is all that is needed.
Alas for poor old spawned Pegasus,

INCREASED PURSES
And Added Attractions will Make Fair meet
A Success.

The Washington County Fair Asso-
citation has held it's annual spring
meeting and taken the necessary steps
to insure a successful exposition in the
fall.
The date is September II to 20 in
elusive.
AS the local lodge of Elks is also
making extensive arrangements for
the street fair which will be an attrac-
tion that week, the city promises to be
full of visitors. The Elks will have
their amusements open in the morning
and evening, thus leaving the after
Moons for the benefit of the County
FAIR Association.
AS a race committee the following
members of the Association were
chosen: G. j. Best, Edward Best and
Chas. Flanders. 1t was decided to in
crease the aggregate purse from $4,000
to $4,000.
With this added amount of money,
judiciously distributed, some of the
best racers in two or more states
ought to be entered for the different
events. The committee will endeaVor
to secure good horsefiesh for the four
days and promise some good sport on
the turf.
The premium list has been in rath-
er chaotic state and a revision was
deemed advisable. The following com
mittee, which shall have plenary pow
er to appoint other committees neces
sary, was then named: j. L. Jordan,
c. w. thinner and c. j. Pfaff.
Owing to the ever increasing num-
ber of breeders of Belgium hares and
pedigreed dogs the premium list will
be extended to include these animals
The matter was lsSt in the hands OF
the above committee for consideration
The indications point to one of the
most successful fairs ever held in
Washington county.

OTlnIIUI HUIIVliI
At the Last Saved Market from Being Dull
est Since November.
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
New York, May 24.-The final spurt
of activity and strength in the stock
market was all that saved the day
from being the dullest in the amount
of business done since the November
election The tobacco stocks, Ameri-
CAM and Continental were the features.
The volume of business in them grew
as the advance progressed. The days
gain registered for American Tobacco
was points and for Continental To-
bacco Az points. The final strength
of the market was due to this move
ment and other stocks which had
shown signs of firmness and strength
earlier in the day. The weak points
were also pulled up, so losses at one
time were generally either wiped out
or greatly reduced all around. The
bond market was irregular and moder
ately active. U. S, As advanced II.

FEES Of EXPERT WITNESSES.

The decision of Judge Wickham,
holding that Commissioners are not
bound to pay any witnesses more than
the fees and mileage prescribed by law,
will have a tendency to discourage tho
practice of calling expert witnesses in
criminal cases. The decision was rem
dered in the case of the handwriting
experts who testified in the trial of
Lamartine Greenwald of Ashland coun-
ty, who was acquitted of the charge Of
uttering forged will. The claims
presented by these witnesses amounted
to $500 above the amount that they
were entitled to under the law. The
commissioners of Ashland county re
garded the claims as exorbitant and re-
fused to pay them. AS to whether they
were really exorbitant is a question
upon which there may be an homes,
difference of opinion.
1t is a custom, however, for expert
witnesses to charge all that they be-
lieye they can collect and it is gener-
ally considered legitimate to charge
the state more for the same service
than is charged private citizens or pri-
vate corporations. There is no reason
why the state should be compelled to
pay more for anything than a private
corporation is compelled to pay. The
notion that it is privilege to exact
the utmost from the stateis responsible
in no small measure for the excessive
burdens of taxation of which the peo-
pie so often complain. If the states
business could be placed upon the same
basis as private business interests the
expenses of the government would be
considerably less.
The large fee charged by expert wit
nesses would probably not arouse SO
much complaint, however, if the value
of their services were universally con-
ceded. But there is a difference of
opinion as to the value of expert testi-
mony. Experts frequently disagree
the same as others and the weight of
their testimony is thus weakened. Still
in many cases expert witnesses play
most important part and the state can
not we'll afford, when the necessity for
expert testimony arises, to deny itself
the services of such witnesses.
Judge Wickham has wisely suggested
that the remedy for the inadequacy of
the present law lies in an appeal to the
legislature. The commissioners and
prosecuting attorneys of the state
should bring the matter before the
next general assembly. 1t oughL not
to be difficult to draft law that will
not only provide compensation for ex-
pert witnesses, but also plan for fix
ing the fees of their services in man
ner satisfactory alike to them and to
the public.-Ohio State Journal.

The apparent disposition on the part
OF some people to put coat of the
blacklist kind of black paint on Mari .
eta from a moral standpoint is un-
Questionably overdrawn. That there
are violations of law in our city, as
there are in every other town and city,
we do not attempt to deny, but we can
not agree with the radical class who
seem to think that Marietta is the
worst place on earth. This is an ag-
gressive, progressive city, pushing
fast to the front, and possesses a citi.
zenship equal to that of any other,
whatever the country or place.
