How william Was wrecked.

What ails William" said the Geor-
gia Cracker father as he motioned his
thumb toward a ~cadaverous looking
young man of twenty sitting on a
stump in the dooryard and nodding
with sleep-"what ails William Is too
much peartness. I'll allow that up to
a year ago William was smart and
hefty for his age, and he had got so
he could lay his old pop on the grass,
but I'll also contend that he orter had
mo- sense in his head. He got that
sassy and peart that he was bristlin up
to everything and everybody, and he
finally got it in his mind that he could
lick a whole circus at once. We was
in Atlanta and thar was a circus show
in when William turns to me and says:
Pop, I'm goin to make a name fur
myself to-day, or break both legs
"tAs how?' says I.
".As to jumpin on my old hat and
then lickin the circus. / kin do 1t, pop,
though thar Two acres OF EN-, lncluu-
in the sacred bull from India
William says /, don't do nuthin
foolish. I'll allow you kin fight, but
them circus folks is right on the shin
dy. They'll hit you with crowbars and
h~and-spikes, clubs OF neck yokes, and
they'll hit for keeps. Mebbe you might
lick two men goin home, but for the
Lawd's sake don't start in to upset the
United States single handed
That's the way / talked to William"
continued the father. "and bimeby he
sorter quieted down, and ! took a stroll
around to look at the spotted bosses.
I was fellin easy in my mind when
William yelled a yell and broke loose,

A CORNER IN PEANUTS.

NEW YORK, April At was an
nounced to-day that a firm in Hobok-
en-, n. j., had cornered the peanut mar
kets, as well as having secured this
week 125 carloads from Norfolk, Va.
There has been an advance in price
from 70 to 80 cents a bushelI lately and
a member of the firm says this has
been due to the corner and expresses
his opinion that it will go still higher.

The sale of 80 900 acres Of coal lands
and five mines in operation, south and
west of Bellaire, to the Empire Coal
Mining Company, as mentioned ex-
clusively in the Register some days
ago., as closed, is verified by the repre-
sentatives of the company who are In
this city, all of whom express them
selves as glad that the deal will be eff
fected, and that the company will soon
be In control of these valuable coal
properties.
The descriptino Of this block has al
ready been given in the Register.
Briefly stated, it is the land lying along
the B. & o. west Of Bellaire, to st.
Clairsville Junction, and south to neal
Powhatan, including the five import
ant operating mines in that section,
and the cost of all will reach nearly a
million dollars.
1t was expected that the payment OF
the options would take place on last
Monday, but owing to a number OF he
titles and abstracts not being Satisfac-
tory to the Empire company, they de-
ferred payment until the deeds could
be clearly made, so that in the future
no trouble could arise. 1t has required
some time to look up the different
heirs to some properties, as some have
been found after diligent search in the
west as far as Iowa, and the COM
pany did not feel disposed to close
this deal until all the abstracts had
been made out in complete and salts
factory form.
A Register reporter called on Mr..
Louis f. Newman, of Springfield, Mass,
promoter of the company, at the Nc
Lure House last evening. and Mr..
Newman stated that they were ready to
pay, and would probably commence
next Thursday, but not until all titles
had been approved by their attorney.
He also stated that he was anxious
to close the matter up and get home,
but that the company's attorney, Sol.
Schoyer, Jr., of Pittsburg, was ex-
ercising great care in regard TO deeds.
From a most reliable source, it was
learned that the company has been
held back by the coal men Of Pittsburg,
as they realize that they the pur-
chasers) have had much trouble. The
president of the Empire Coal Mining
Company, whose name is withheld, is
a man we'll acquainted with the coal
business, especially with river ship
ping. The other seven members of the
company are from the east, and will
make their principal office in Pittsburg.
1t was also stated that Pittsburg can
not afford to compete with this COM
pany when it gets in operation, as
they can reach the southern market
quicker by river, being some ninety
miles closer. They will be able to
reach the lake trade much quicker and
at a less expense than the Pittsburg
people, and owing to this fact have
placed the money in the banks at St.
Clairsville, and will be glad to pay
when all the deeds are ready.
1t was also said that the company
has $500, 900 in it's treasury to develop
the land and commence work as soon
as the transactions are closed. When
this territory is in operation, the COM
pany will be in a position to mine and
ship many thousands of tons of coal a
day, and will employ a large number of
men.

RETURN OF SNOBBERY.

In Harper's for May Mir Howells
 in the Easy Chair, thus laments the
 return of snobbery:
 Age can transmit civilization in it's general terms, and perhaps this is
 enough; but apparently it cannot pre- vent lapses into barbarism. We were
 at one time growing out of the base
 ness of snobbery, and with much
 pains and great wit and indefinite il-
 lustration it did seem some fifty years
 ago as if We had passed the danger of
 that degradation of the soul. When
 the fine moralist who once filled this
 seat was writing the 'Potiphar Pa
 pers, the friend of man might we'll have believed that the human spirit would hardly crawl before any image of worldly greatness again. Thack- cry had fought his fight against that hateful dishonor, and people seemed really trying for a decent self-respect. The mood lasted so long that when society journalism first began to rear it's shameless front among us We nick named it Jenkins. and blushed for it. Who of the present generation eyer heard of Jenkins? and who blushes now to read the last detail of every society event. or to pore upon the portraits instantaneous and dramatic, of the chief actors and spectators, and all their kindred and acquaintance? To witness the newspaper mysteries a few weeks ago in view of the mar riage of two amiable young people who had nothing in the world to dis tingtish them but their money was to doubt if We had come far since 1850
 The vulgarity of the exhibition was pad enough; worship is the .ulgarest thing in the world-faf fulgerer than rank-worship, for wealth lacks historic grace and the mystical charm of the supremacy that 'omss by birth and seems of divine ,,l ipo,,ra

TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

Such at least, is the candid opinion of long-sighted poli- ticlans.
 They say that there is really No other question to be fought over. Sil- evr. they are sure. can never be para mo4nt again The question of colon ies has been settled settled by force, without reference to right or law, per haps. but settled, nevertheless, for all time. unless the supreme court shall ovcrturn what has been done: and few people longer hope for anything from the court that cannot be get around in threc years of the Mckinley adminis- tration Tariff reform and trusts arc the only great questions left and they are ineXtricably woven togethen.

 Hear Evangelist Martin.

Evangelist Martin Friday night made the announcements for Sunday and Monday at the First Baptist church. Sunday at II a. m. he said he would try to show that Baptists dc not mean by close communion that others are not Christians. TOT that tians. but that they are following strictly the plain bible teaching; that Sunday night he would try to show why all denominations oppose card playing and dancing, and that Mon day night the subject would be The Unpardonable Sin. He then an nounced his teXt-Mark 12:34. Thou are not far from the kingdom of God $ and said:
 An immortal soul was trembling in the balance and Christ warns him ten derly Brother, it is a most solemn thing to face the question of ones eternal destiny, and then turn away unsaved. Let me show you the paral- Tel between the case before us and many of you This man was honest at heart; he was no trher; he was no covetcr He faced the issue hon. estly. Sc with many of you. You are not here trihing night after night. This man was earnestly thinking The great trouble is that religious people do not think.
 The mother bird comes with tired wing to her nest of young mocking- birds and they throw open their mouths. and down it goes-rock. bug. or worm; it makes no difference And so many people take what is preacncd without giving it any thought But not so with this man. He was really thinking. Further, he realized his ob- ligation to the God who gave him being. With many people the ques- tfon of salvation is solely a question of taking out a kind of eternal fire in sufanee policy on the soul, with no thought of their obligation to God Just So they escape hell they will be satised even if only in dying hoar.
