THE river and harbor bill, carrying
an appropriation of some sixty mil
lions of dollars, is before the Senate
for consideration, and it is said that
it will be largely increased there.
Now is the time for the citizens of
Shepherdstown and Moler's Cross
Roads to unite and insist that Sena-
tor Elkins secure an appropriation to
make Rattlesnake Run navigable from
Hofman's Mill to Lucass spring
house. Other streams Of little or no
more Importance are getting hand
some appropriations.

The Martinsburg World says that
plan is being considered to put a
new face on Michael Moran, who had
part Of his physiognomy shot away
couple Of months ago. The wound
ed man will doubtless furnish an in
teresting case for the medical world.
He is already ont of bed and walking
about the house with no nose, one eye
and only portion of his face, For
several days after he was shot all ply
sicians who saw him said it was al
most impossible for him to live. He
has, however, contrary to the expec-
tations of everyone, lived, and will
probably outlive some of those who
ventuled predictions about his early
death. 1t is the intention of Moran S
relatives to send him to Johns Hop
kins Hospital, Baltimore, this week,
to have glass eye put in the vacant
eye socket, to have all artificial nose
put on his face, and, if possible. to
have skin grated on his face. Mo-
rams survival of such wounds, having
splinters and shot blown into his face
near the base of the brain, etc, is about
as miraculous as anything that has
occurred in Martinsburg in many
years.

HAvANA'S WAY OF GAMBLING
Cubans Make the Government Help
in Lottery Scheme,

New York Sun: The passion for
gambling in the lotteries which exis.
among all Latins prevails among the
Cubans. Under the old Spanish regime
every ono. rich and poor alike, patron
ICED the lottery, which had the govern
ments sanction, and thousands upon
thousands OF the working classes were
kept in continual want in consequence
of the vice When the Americans came
OF course the lotteries were knocked out
| Ey military order, and for time there
was much sorrow among those whose
principal pleasure in life was dreaming
OF winning capital prize, Then a
new form of gambling was devised.
Ever since Col Bliss took hold Of the
Havana custom house he has made il
practice TO print daily the receipts
from imports. 1t was one of his ways
of showing the Cubans how to check
corruption. He took the public into his
confidence. SO that they nigh. know
exactly how much money the principal
port on the island was raising for the
government expenses,
The newspapers got into the habit of
printing the figures daily and a great
many people read them as an index to
the commercial growth OF the island.
BY and by IL was noticed that the re-
ceipts We're being printed In quite large
type by the little afternoon sheets.
which never have any news In them
and very rarely an idea. u was also
noticed that lot of persons bought
these papers, turned 10 the page on
which were printed the customs re-
ceipts, and then with CALCULATIONS of
borrow or JOY, cast the paper aside.
An investigation showed that the re-
ceipts were being used for lottery pur-
poses. 1t was found that tickets were
being sold ali over the city and that
( T. nevspAI ers were adding largely 10
their circulation by catering t. the
craze. Colonel Bliss reputation for
honesty in Havana is such that every
one is sure that there can be no tamper-
ing with the daily totals and so after
al the Havanese have lottery with
government drawings daily.
The government has been very anx-
ious to find out who Is back of the in
tcnious scheme which makes It an ac-
colnplice in the crime In spite OF itself.
t,t il has as yet heao unable to do So,
Some Of the more reputable papers OF
IT,, city have printed long stories about
the scheme, explaining its workings
and demanding that steps be ,aken to
stop the evil bat SO far nothing has
been accomplished. The daily totals
| form the custom-horse are still being
! printed. and the little sheets called by
courtesy newspapers are still selling for
! five cents copy, and the gamblers
behind the scheme are still coming

TURKISH WOMEN'S PASTIMES
Picturesque Scenes on the Sweet Wa
tiers of Europe and Asia.

! London Chronicle: The summer seas
on having now begun, Turkish ladies'
are beginning to look forward To one OF
their few pleasures. In comparison
with their European sisters Turkish la
dies have very poor time: IN fact,
/ they practically have no amnsements
AT all. In the summer. however, they
manage to get considerable pleasure
! by going to the Sweet Waters OF Eu-
! rope and Asia on Fridays and Sundays.
All through the fine weather these
two rivers are crowded with hundreds
OF boats and caigues of all descriptions,
| full of Turkish women. who are rowed
W and down. Unfortunately the grace
full caique is dying out and being re-
placed by the more useful boat. A
A caique has many disadvantages. the
chief OF which IN that II requires a
special boatman to row IL, and he viii

Turkish households are becoming poor
er and therefore more economical. they
abandon caiques and keep boats, which

I'm fact there are only two regularly at
tending Sweet Waters which keep mp
this custom. One belongs 10 a Turkish
lady whose boatmen's uniforms are
blue and silver and the embroidery
matches them. the other is the khe-
dives mother, whose colors are gold
and crimson and the embroidery con
si,ts Of a pattern made up OF crowns
and fishes,
OF course there are hundreds OF
boats full Of men, and many flrtations
are carried on throughout the sum

very mild. and consist chiefly in the
lady lifting her veil and showing her
face for a moment Now ami chen
few words are exchanged but that Is
dangerous and can only be done when
the boatnen are all in the secret.
