A SENSIBLE GIRL.

The name of Jane Perlis, Il
Young woman of New York, de-
serves to be remembered by the
men and women Of America.
This young woman was recently
invited to ride with the man
whom she had promised to wed.
On the trip her affianced beat the
horse so unmercifully that po-
liceman who happened to be near
promptly arrested the man. The
lover was fined ten dollars and
the cost. Miss Perlis paid the
fine and returning to her home
sent a letter breaking the en-
gagement saying, "When a man
would so brutally beat a horse
and so easily lose his temper, the
woman marrying him would take
the same chances.
A very sensible girl, indeed is
Miss Perlis. A man who would
be so cruel to dumb animal has
but a short step to cruelty to a
human being. Mans cruelty to
the dumb animal, and particular
lv TO those animals who serve
man faithfully and well, needs to
be impressed upon the men as
we'll as upon the children Of to-
day. Kindness to the birds OF
the air and the beasts Of the field,
needs to be taught to the children
in their infancy. 1t will help
them in many ways, for the child
who learns that it owes a duty to
the birds and beasts will more
quickly learn its duty towards its
fellow men. .-Commoner.

WHAT ONE BOY HAS DONE

A boy who shall here be name
less, but who is known to every
man in Yellville, and who is now
resident in this city, came IN
on the stage eighteen months
ago, landing with only $3.50 in
| his pockets and no resources to
draw upon except his own reserve
of courage.
He went to work for others,
picking up a little more than a
living during his first six months
stay here, unless experience and
knowledge be counted. He vast
ed no time in frivolity, but stud
led the country.
Now for results. During the
past twelve months he has made
ST. 700 in money, owns the Shun-
ganuaga, a mine of known value,
and is interested in several other
mining properties that could be
sold today for a goodly sum.
There has been no chance, no
accident that made this young
mar within the brief period of
one year worth fully S., 1000, with
out owing a cent, and this on a
capital of St3.50.-Yelllville Re-

Blessed is the poor man,
Pick-pockets never bother him,
and the road agent gives him the
wide, birth. The tax collector never
hounds him. No one tries to bor-
row and no one asks to endorse.
If the bank breaks he can grin
and bear it like a man. He new
er runs over heads and ears in
debt and is not robbed by lawyers
or harrassed by litigation, and he
sleeps in peace. When he dies
no body questions his will or at
tempts to confiscate HE bones.
Blessed therefore are the poor in
pocket, for they always get their
moneys worth, Elk.

A BOLD ATTEMPT.

About 2 o'clock Sunday morn
ing a negro miscreant, prowling
about the residence of Mr.. R. D.
Horn, discovered an open win
dow, and, just inside, the sleep
ing form of Mrs. Hankins, wife Of
DR.. Hankins of Salado, who was
visiting her sister, Mrs. Horn.
Placing his arms around her, the
negro was in the act of lifting her
through the window, when she
awoke, and pulled away from him
and sprang out of bed. The bold
black rascal never once moved
from the window until Mrs. Han

THE POOR BOYS CHANCES.

The poor boys chances are not
so discouraging. We have heard
much of millionaires who started
from the lower ranks, and a
writer points out that at one time
McKinley's cabinet was COM
posed of men who had been poor
boys in youth, who had fought
their way to the front. James
Wilson, the Secretary CT agricult-
ure, was born in Ayershire, Scot
lanl, and worked many years as
plow boy at miserably small
wage. Eltan Allen Hitchcock,
secretary of interior, worked as
clerk in a st. Louis commission
house. John Hay, secretary Of
state was a clerk under Lincoln,
and also worked as an editor.
id, Long, secretary of the navy,
was a farmer in Maine, where his
life was no picnic. E. Root, Sec
retary Of war, was a school teach

PAPERS BEING PREPARED.
This Move Promises a Crisis in the
Big Strike
LAlE REPORTS FROM wlLLsvlLLE
Rumor That Car Load Of imported Men is 10
Run Into Town Today to Supplement
The Force at Work at the
(By the Associated Press.)

Pittsburg, July 23.-The combine forces
have decided to carry the strike into the
courts. 1t is learned tonight that Judge
r. NJ. Smith, of Wellsville, O., has been
retained by Persifer F. Smith, district
manager of the American Sheet Steel
Company to prepare papers for presenta-
tion, within few days to a Federal court
asking for a restraining order to stop
strikers from accosting or molesting in
any way union men on the high
ways. The move promises a crisis in the
strike.
Following this the rlrnor is in circula-
ton that a car load of men will run into
Wellsvlle tomorrow to supplement the
force now at work. This latter story
has not been verified up to midnight. Out
side of these Incidents, the actual strike
status Is unchanged
According to strike leaders, the Off
Gals of the Wellsville Mill are apparently
seeking to bring on an open conflict in
order to invoke the aid of the sheriff's
deputies and if possible the militia.
Earnest and renewed warnings have been
sent to the strikers to remain cool and
keep within the law.
There was much Indignation among the
strikers today over report that Mayor
A. =. Dennis, of Wellsville. had called
two strikers, Patrick O'Connor and Daniel
Rumbaugh. before him and forbidden
them to talk to men on the way to the
mill in tho effort to keep them from going
TO work. Vice-President Chappelle, of
the Amalgamated Association Immediate
ly sought the mayor and asked him what
he meant by trying to abridge the right
of free speech. Mayor Dennis denied that
he had forbidden the strikers to talk.
The reports from McKeesport tonight
are OF a quieting nature and no exciting
incidents are looked for at present at
that point.
- From Sharon telegram was received
tonight saying:
"a bill for a preliminary injunction has
been granted by Judge Miller, restraining
the strikers at the American Steel Cast
ing Company Works from entering the
grounds of the company. A hearing will
be held ON July %.

INJURIOUS INSECTS IN ORCHARDS.

The June Bulletin of the North Caro-
lima State Board of Agriculture was is
sued Yesterday. 1t is devoted principally
to an article on injurious insects by State
Entomologist Franklin Sherman. In the
course of his article, Prof. Sherman says:
1.-THE time has passed when a neglected
tree can be reasonably expected to pro-
duce fruit of good quality, and the grow
ing of first-class apples, peaches, pears
and plums, in full crops, implies the use
Of cultivators, fertilizers, pruning shears,
and a spray pump. Isolated trees in town
or village lots may produce abundantly,
but it is because their very isloation rem
ders them less liable to the insects and
diseases that rayage the orchards. The
old, careless, happy go-l lucky method of
fruit culture is now giving us its reward
in an abundant harvest of enemies to
combat In the great majority of cases
where injurious insects are brought to
our attention, the best remedy is to apply
a spray in some form. The writer in
sists that to the truckers, gardeners,
and orchardists, a spray pump is a ne
cessity and we doubt is any operation
gives a greater return for the labor and
expense involved, than the proper appli
cation of properly made insecticides and
fungicides, at the proper time"

TO PAY MARTIN SHORTAGE.
The Surety Company that Bonded Martin
VIII Fight the Claim.

And now it turns cut that the surety
company in which Major Martin, the de-
faulting Treasury clerk, was bonded will
resist payment of the claim against it.
But if the company does the mean part
in the affair ex-Treasurer Worth will do
the honest one, ard therefor he deserves
the respect and admiration of all good
citizens
Something like month ago the pres
ent. State Treasurer made demand on Mr.
Worth for the amount of Martins short
age. Worth in turn made demand on the
surety company, EXPIRE ssing confidence
that it would pay it,
Now it turns out that the company will
do nothing Of the kind. if ii can help it,
on the perfidious other hand it will fight
the claim on the ground that the Treas
urer's books were each year examined
by a legislative committee and pronounced
correct and but for that the company
would never have rebonded Major Martin
year after year. 1t will be contended that
each one of these examination released
the company from all obligation on the
accounts examined.
AS soon as this position of the COM
pany was ascertained Mr.. Worth called
q meeting of his bondsmen and surren-
dered to them all his property to insure
them from less in the event the surety
company should successfully resist the
claim.
The bondsmen WILL it is understood,
make good the States claim and then
seek TIC recover the money out OF the
surety company.
The Dukes were represented at yes
terday's meeting by Mr.. J. e. Stage. Other
tondsmen were present and some were
represented by proxy.
Mr.. Worih's action in the matter has
been commended by all who heard of it,
and it is sincerely hoped by all that he
will be able to make the surety company
pay claim which by all principles of
Justice and right it ought to pay.

RANDOLPH MACON COLLEGE.
DR. Dodd of the Faculty at Work on His Life
of Macon

DR.. William r. Dodd, native of this
county, now professor of History and
Political Economy in Randolph Macon
College, who has been visiting relatives
in North Carolina, has returned to Ash
land Va, the seat of this farfamed
college, where he will devote most of
his time to writing the life of Nathan
el Macon, upon which he has been en-
gagged since he finished his post-grad-
uate course at Leipsic. DR.. Dodd has
the true idea of Macon, and will do
his reputation justice. There has never
been written complete life of Macon
and nobody has written history of the
times in which he lived. Dr. Dodd will
write OF the history of North Carolina
during Macon's political career as well
as give an appreciative life of Macon.

Methodist college that bears the name
of the two great men who were de-
voted friends, John Randolph and Ma
thaniel Macon When first established
that college was near the border line
of the two States and was supported
by North Carolina and Virginia. 1t
has grown every year in the strength
of it's faculty, in it's area of patronage,
and in great usefulness among progress
sive Southern colleges. AS the Oldest
Methodist college in America it has
strong hold upon the men of that
church. Many of the most notable men
in North Carolina were educated at
Randolph Macon. The three most con-
spicuous we recall just now are eX-
Governor and ex-senator Thomas j.
