TO READ IMPORTANT PAPER.

Edgar D. Stewart to Discuss TorreHs
Lind System at New Meeting or
State Bar Association.
Mr.. Edgar b. Stewart, of the Nor
gantown bar, has been invited by
the executive committee of the West
Virginia State Bar Association to
read paper on THE Torrens Land
System before that body at its
next annual meeting in Clarksburg
in February. Mr.. Stewart has ac
cepted the invitation and is at work
preparing his paper The Torrens
Land System is the most important
system of laws which has engaged
the attention of the legal fraternity
for wears. 1t relates to the recorda-
tion Of land titles. Under its opera
tions it is possible for the land
owners for small sum to have
his title cleared and forever guar
anteed by the Court. so that
subsequent purchasers may go to
the records and see at a glance the
condition of title without the aid
and expense of an abstract. As a
rule lawyers are opposed to the law,
but. Mr.. Stewart has for several
years been enthusiastically in favor
of it and will do all he can to con-
vince the state association of it's
benefits.

STARS WILL FALL.
Brilliant Meteoric Display set
for This Week

for two earS-AStr0nomets now say
That They are Coming on November
18th and 18th Magnificent Speeta.
Gle Promised.
Will the metoric shower of 1899,
1898 and 1867 repeat itself this year
is query now much in the minds of
inqu1ring aud observing astronomers.
For two successive Novembers many
hours have been filched from sleep
that the wonder of life time might
be seen in the peacefulness Of the
night display Of light and mo-
tion that far surpasses in magniti-
cence and sublimity anything that the
hand OF man ever made. Waiting,
watching, hoping in 1899, was re-
peated in 1900, but the stars aud con-
stellation marched across the firma-
nent in beauty and silence without a
shower Of meteors to detract from
their beauty.
The earth passed across the path of
the Leonides without meeting these
mysterious strangers. 1t was tacitly
agreed that the path of his meteors
had shifted or these PARTICLES OF a
dead world had burned out and their
orbit was vacant space in the uni
verse and the wonder of many genera
tions would no longer amaze and as
tonish the earth.
Prof. 4. McBennett of Long Island
City, New York, has been giving
these Disappointing visitors some at
tention and in the Scientific Amerl-
can states his reasons why we may
look for the shooting stars next
month. The period of their absence
has been fixed at 334 years and that
would make their return in 1899
But the time consumed on their
journey around their orbit has been
more correctly estimated BY Prof
Mcclure. of Philadelphia, who with
Prof. Herrick, OF Yale, and few
Others estimated the period in 1869;
putting it at 81 years and day, or to
be more accurate 12,419 days.
Thus the first recorded shower was
witnessed on the night of November
l1-12, 1893; the following one occur
ing on November 12-13, 1888; the fol-
lowing one occurring on November
1914 1867; so that the next, becomes
due on the night Of November HIS,
/ 1901 this weeks.

PROFITABLE TRIP.
West Virginia Mine Officials
visit Fayette County.

Conditions In This State are Rapidly
Becoming Of the First Glass Much
Learned of Interest aud Profit Big
Development in Taylor County now
in Progress.
Deputy Mine Inspectors W. J..
Preece, of Coaldale, T. E. Thomas Of
Clarksburg, and Edward pinkney OF
Montgomery have been IN Morgan
town stopping at the Wallace House.
They went on into the the central
part of the state from this place.
While here they were seen and asked
about their mission to this section.
They stated that they had been into
Fayette county, Pa, where they had
gone to investigate the conditions OBJ
tanning in the mines OF that district.
With them had been State Mine tn
spector j. W. Paul and Deputy Earl
Henry Of Clifton.
Many things of interest and profit
had been learned On the visit but the
feeling of pride in the advancement
that is being made in this state was
not reduced very much. The mines
OF Eayette county are up TO date and
have many new and efficient pieces OF
machinery to assist in removing the
dusty diamonds.
However in this state the introduce
ton OF machinery is going forward
rapidly aud before long its use will be-
come general. The visit is said by
the officials TO have been very sue
cessful and that they have learned
much that will help them in their
work. The improvement that is be-
ing made in West Virginia will in a
few months in their opinion place il
in the same rank with Pennsylvania.
A big coal development is in prog
ress in Taylor county and Is Of inter-
est here. A special from Grafton
tells about it. 1t is as follows:

THE EXPLANATION
AS to Why no Report was Made
by the Committee.
On the Street Car Franchise Length
of Time and Question Of Compensa-
ton are Bones OF Contention Com-
pany aud Committee Cannot Get To-
gether.

pany aud Committee Cannot Get To-
gether.
Squire NJ Hayes as chairman of
the street committee which had IN.
der its charge the franchise which
has been asked by the street car
company was seen this morning by
the NEW DOMINION and asked as to
who no report had been offered BY
the committee.
He stated that the reason was
that the committee and the repre-
sentatives of the company had been
unable to agree on what they should
report and that as tue matter now
stands an adverse report would have
made If any had gone into council.
This was not desired by the com.
pany which preferred that the mat
ter lie in allegiance for time longer
rather than to allow 1t to receive "a
back set from the committee.
Among the points about which no
agreement could be reached was the
length of time which is fixed at fit
tv years in the ordinance This
Squire Hayes stated that he did not
consider very great objection since
the ordinance provides for purchase
Of the plant after twenty five years
by the city if 1t SO desires
The main point Of difference is in
regard to the value of the franchise.
The committee thinks that it should
not give away valuable franchises
without some compensation and the
company has failed to see it in that
light.
In consequence they have failed
to get together on these matters and
so the ordinance rests in the hands
oil the street committee to which it
has been referred by the council.
Squire Hayes thinks that neither
side will recede from their present
positions and he does not look for
any definite acton in the premises.
for some time to come.

COUNCIL MEETING.
Street Car Franchise was not
Presented.

No Report was Made By the Street Com
mittee i'm Reference to it-Ir0n City
Franchise was Reported as Amended
Company Protested Building Per-
mits Granted.
Council met on Monday evening
with a large attendance IF visitors.
Contrary to expectations there was no
report on the street car franchise
which it was understood would come
up for action. The committee which
had it In charge did not make any
report nor did they state in council
meeting why no report was made.
The Iron City Oil and Gas Com
pany's franchise was reported upon.
A number of amendments were pro
posed by the street committee and OBJ
jected to by Van. A. Barrickmen who
as counsel represented the company.
Among the amendments were that
the price for cooking stoves should be
one dollar month instead Of one
twenty-five as proposed by the com.
pany. Other fires are to be charged
at one dollar a month for six months
in the year instead of seven and the
number of lights TO be furnished the
city for the franchise was fixed at
forty instead of twenty as promised
by the company.
The franchise as amended was pass
ed to another reading and will come
before council at the next meeting.
1t is not known whether or not the
company will accept the franchise as
amended but there is no disposition
on the part of council to recede from
their present position.
Another important amendment
tackled on to the ordinance was a
restriction preventing the company
selling the franchise to competing
company during the life of the fran
chise.

Household Hints.

Black silk and black satin are greatly
improved by wiping them with spirits Of
wine diluted with little water, and
wipe it on the right side
The use of hot water is very beneficial
to the complexion, and will preserve the
skin and make it soft and more clear.
TO scale fish easily, dip them first into
boiling water.
\ way to tell il eggs are good or bad is
to put them in a pail OF water. Ii they
are good they will lie on their sides; ii
bad, they will stand on one end-usually
the small end. An egg that lies flat in
water can be depended upon.
To make tough meats tender, put Il
spoonful Of vinegar into the water in
which they are boiling.
Remove the odor OF fish or onions from
cooking utensils by putting Il piece OF
lemon Gan old moldy one will do into
them and filling full OF water, and let
boil for one half hour.
Use soft water instead Of hard water
to mix bread and the bread will not dry
out as soon as it would ii mixed with
hard water, as the latter contains too
much lime.
Never leave raw meat in Il brown pa
per, but remove directly to an earthen
dish, whether putting it on the ice or
not.
