Legend Gives the Lethean Berry Ro-
mantle Origin and History.
There is extant tale Of the discov-
cry of coffee, a story which might have
suggested to Charles Lamb the idea
for his Dissertation on Roast Pig"
This is the legend: Toward the mid
die of the fifteenth century poor Arab
was travelling in Abyssinia, and finding
himself weak and weary from fatigue
he stopped near a grove. Then, being
in want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut
down a tree, which happened to be
full of dead berries. His meal being
cooked and eaten, the traveller discov-
cred that the half-burned berries were
very fragrant. Collecting a number of
these and crushing them with stone,
he found that their aroma had in-
creased to great extent. While Won
dering at this he accidentally let fall
the substance into can which con-
tanned a scant supply of water. 10,
what miracle! The almost putrid
liquid was instantly purified He
brought it to his lips; it was fresh,
agreeable, and in a moment after the
traveller had so far recovered his
strength and energy as to be able to
resume his journey. The lucky Arab
gathered as many berries as he could,
and having arrived at Arden, in Ara
bia, he informed the multi of his dis
covery. This worthy divine was an
inveterate opium smoker, who had
been suffering for years from the eff
fects Of that poisonous drug. He tried
an infusion of the roasted berries and
was so delighted at the recovery of his
own vigor that, in gratitude to the
tree he called It cabuah, which in Ara
bic signifies iorce.-Chicago Chron-

of this building no iron whatever was
used to fasten the logs together. Tha
ends of the logs at the corners Of
the building and at the doors and win

the architecture is rude, but very Sc

Communicates Were Indians.
For a great many years services
were held in this mission chapel by the
pioneer padres. All, or nearly all, the
commandments were Indians Years
ago the mission was abandoned and
services have been held in the present
mission near Colville. The primitive
building is very weatherbeaten and
dilapidated.
The building fronts south. There is
wide portal at the front end; also
doors on the east and west sides, well
toward the rear part of the structure.
All the doors and windows are gone
The rafters consist Of small hewed
timbers. Both at the top and bottom
the rafters are fastened together and
to the walls by means of stout wooden
pins driven in auger holes. The sheet.

THE OLD MISSION.

OLD MID C4SANs
structed Of adobes, rocks and clay
mortar. The northern part Of the
building, fronting the old fireplace.
was originally divided into two rooms
probably for the use of the fathers.
The pack of the fireplace is both broad
and high. and fronted the main audi.
ence room of the building. It must
have served as the back of the sacred
altar, where masses and vespers were
celebrated. However, every trace of
the altar has long since vanished. The
same can be said of the flooring, both
downstairs and above.
In Dilapidated State.
Nothing now remains of the old mis-
sion save the walls, rafters and part
Of the roof The walls are intact;
also the upper timbers. More than half
of the roof itself is gone. The boards
which still remain are moss covered
and very much decayed. The planks
at the gable ends are in the same con-
dition. The only iron used about the
old building were the nails which held
the boards of the roof.
The logs of the wall are still sound
especially on the interior sides. The
rafters and heavy hewed log joists are
apparently sound. Until within few
years ago large wooden cross stood
at the front of the building, rising
from the comb of the roof; but that
also, has disappeared.
Windowless, floorless, doorless and
semi-roofless, this old niorm-beaten
monument of the dead and voiceless
past stands in the heart or a lonely
pine forest It is sad reminder OF
the noiseless flight of time and of the
evanescence of all things earthly. Yet
there is an eloquence in the silence or
the old dismantled mission; there is
touching pathos in its fate.
Burylng Grounds Noar.
A short distance northeast Of the
mission is the burying ground. The
limits of the consecrated grounds are
marked by ditch or moat. This
trench is now nearly filled up. Trees
as large as ones body are growing IN
and along the ditch, indicating that it
was dug long ago.
Just how many graves the grounds
contain will never be known. Marks
identifying a great many graves have
disappeared. The grounds are strewn
with old decayed wooden headstones
ratings, logs, etc.
In extent the ground Is about one
half acre. Only two headstones (wood-
en) remain the epitaphs of which can
be deciphered. So far as known only
Indians were buried in those grounds,
II the grounds We're ever inclosed by

l have just come to a knowledge of
certain facts which 1 deem it my i'm
perative duty to make public for two
reasons-first, because they clear up
the mystery of the disappearance of
that great and original Investigator,
my friend, Professor x. (whose many
friends will, after perusing what is
here set down, easily recognize him
without the mention of his name,
which, made in so public a manner,
would, I know, be highly offensive to
him), and, second, because hope they
will cause some other scientist of
prominence to follow up the unique
and, I conceive, eminently important
line Of investigation initiated by Pro-
lessor x, $751;
l say that l have just come to a
knowledge of these facts. This is the
exact truth, although the said facts
have been in my possession for the
past three months. To be plain, just
before the Professor disappeared so
completely received through the mail
a note from him with sealed en-
closure which his note requested me
to open and read three months after
It reached me. This have just done.
The enclosure found to be the Pro-
fessor's notes upon the progress of a
most remarkable and unusual series Of
experiments founded upon the germ
theory. In this connection I wish to
say that while, in common with his
other friends I of course knew Of the
Professors keen interest in this the
ory, I had had not the slightest hint
that he had struck out so boldly in
the field of original research.
So radical has been the Professors

There's many house of grandeur,
With turret and tower and dome,
That knows not peace or comfort,
And does not prove home.
I do not ask for splendor
To crown my daily lot.
But this ask-a kitchen
Where the kettles always hot.
If things are not all ship-shape,
I do not fume or fret,
A little clean disorder
Does not my nerves upset,
But one thing is essential,
Or seems so to my thought,
And that's a tidy kitchen.
Where the kettles always hot.
IN my Aunt Hattie's household,
Though skies outside are drear,
Though times are dark and troubled,
You'll always find good cheer,
And in her quaint old kitchen
The very homiest spot
The kettles always singing,
The waters always hot.
and if you have a headache,
Whate'er the hour may be,
There is no tedious waiting
To get your cup of tea.
don't know how she does it
Some magic she has caught
For the kitchens cool in summer,
Yet the kettles always hot.
Oh, there's naught else so dreary
In household kingdom found,
As cold and sullen kettle,
That does not make sound,
And I think that love is lacking
In the hearts in such spot,
Or the kettle would be singing
And the water would be hot.

Wheeling to-day presents a holiday
front to her visitors. Never before
was the city so generally or SO elab-
orately embellished with flags and
bunting. Never before was the bust
ness district so attractive. II is q a
of t~ri-eolor bunting. Business fronts
are embellished. flags waye in the
breezes, and the trolley poles and wires
are hidden beneath the National colors
All day Sunday the Zig force OF
decorators continued their work. The
covering OF the trolley poles was a
scheme of the Carnival committees, and
the effect produced is pleasing in the
extreme. Late Saturday night the
Knights of Pythias lodges started the
work of decorating the electrical arch
at the intersection of Twelfth and Mar
ket streets, and II was daylight Sunday
morning when IL was completed. The
work reflects great credit upon the
taste of the x. of y. committee. The
design Is very elaborate, and when the
lights are turned on It will be n of
the most conspicuously handsome dec
orations in the city.
The official decorators and their as
sistants put in n very busy day on Sat
urday upon the business houses. but
the work in the retail and jobbing dis
tricts is but fairly started. Bright and
early his morning the work of draping
the fronts OF the big buildings will be
commenced, and by this evening there
will not be a building between Tenth
street and the creek which Will not
show the Carnival colors.
Many business houses are already
completed, and look very pretty.
Among the number are House & Herr
mann, Carnival headquarters, Exchange
Bank. Bank OF Wheeling. Palace Fur
niture Company, Vance Shoe Company,
Delaplaine Dry Goods Company, Shaef-
fer & Driehorst, and many other
smaller buildings.

AS a result of the misunderstanding
between Acting Mayor Jesse Shafer

tive to the appointing power, it is like
ly that there will be two sets of special
officers for Carnival week. Chief Ritz
claims that the appointing power is
vested in him, and that the ordinances
gave the Mayor authority to appoint
only in cases OF riot or disorder.
Chief Ritz has been selecting the
men whom he will appoint, but has
not yet made the names public.

The first day of the big Carnival.

The first day of the big Carnival.
Wheeling is in gala attire. The bus
mess district is a vast sea OF bright
colors. Bunting poles and
walls, I'M flags wave in the breezes
In every direction the eye rests apo
the Carnival colors-red. white and blue
-tastcfully displayed.
The streets are clean, and last night
were filled with a surging crowd OF
sightseers. The population turned out
en- masse to see the decorations and to
peep into the booths and tents of the
privilege men. II the crowd was n
forerunner of Carnival throngs, the
outlook for the week is most promis-
ing. The weather is ideal. If 1t con-
tinues as upon Sunday, the Carnival
will be an immense success.
All the cross streets are occupied by
booths and buildings. The showmen
arrived yesterday. and by last night
had nearly everything in shape for
opening this morning. Some Of the
people from the Orient mingled with
the crowd last night. The fronts of
the show displays look very credit
able, and have already excited the
curiosity of the populace. The big
Ferris wheels will go up to-day.
While the shows will be doing bust
ness throughout the day. the formal
opening of the Carnival will not take
place until tonight. An elaborate
programme has been arranged. The
exercises will take place upon the big
stand on the wharf, commencing at
eight o'clock.
After music by the band. there will
be two or three short addresses, appro-
pirate to the occasion. Then the band
will give a concert, the concluding
number Of which VIM be a cannon
chorus.
With the explosion of the cannon, a
mammoth United States signal rocket
will be sent up from the wharf. 1t
will explode In mid-air with a report
which can be heard all over the city.
Then from the four extremities of
Greater Wheeling-north, east, south,
west-smaller signal rockets will be
exploded.
simultaneously the electric current
will be released, which will light all
the arches anu other electrical effects
in the city. Merchants generally will
keep their places of business as dark
as possible during the early evening,
and all will light up when the rocket
explodes. The effect will be brilliant.
There will be bands upon the streets
during the remainder of the evening,
and many will take advantage OF his
time to visit the shows.
