FEDERAL JUDGE

WASHINGTON, April 4.-There is
nothing new in the matter of the
judicial appointment for West Vir-
ginia. 1t is probable, as heretofore
stated in the papers, that the
new judge will be selected before
the departure of the President on
his western trip, but the rumors
abroad that one of the aspirants has
dead sure thing are without foun-
datiOn.
This much was learned of Senator
Elkins, today. 1t is well known
that the southern district is making
a strong plea for "some one" in that
section, that is that the appointment
shall be given to lawyer residing
within that territory. But no one
of the several known aspirants there
has been able 20 secure the united
support OF the people of that dis
trict. The opinion prevails that
when the man who measures up to
the requirements comes forward
with the solid backing of the south
ern district, be will get it.

Mr.. j. h. p. Workman in writing
TO this paper in regard to the funer-
al and life of the late j. r.. Bowen.
an account of whose death we d ub-
lished last week, says:
"The body of the late John Bac-
chus Bowen was deposited in the
family burying ground, Rev. jeff
Fuller officiating. Many friends aud
neighbors were present to show their
sympathy in this the most trying
time. The deceased will long be
remembered as the member of the
Board of Supervisors of Wayne
county when the county voted to
issue railroad bonds to the amount
of fifty thousand dollars. He re-
fused to sign the bonds and thus
saved the people that amount. He
also voted against issai ng bonds
when member of the county court.
In all matters of business he studied
all points connected and never failed
TO say "no" if that was the proper
thing TO do. Mr.. Bowen had been
blind for seven years prior to his
death, but now he is in the hands of
the Great Healer. He died in the
Christian faith and has entered into
his rest"

peror ever attempted to abrogate. This
extra ordnary stretch of autocracy sutti-
GENTLY proves that the apparently mild
and genial young ruler who is named
after his great grandfather in reality, in

time now and then irrtates the old re-
dictionaries by displaying a tendency TO
that vacillation which the Russians call
"klobemost" and which they profoundly
despise in any of their monarchs.
The Cars first serious mistake is that
he has offended the lawyers. Now, the
legal profession in Russia is an exceed
ingly sensitive one. The laws are in many
cases execrable, and, of course, they are
exceedingly oppressive, while they are
atrociously administered venality being
universal and bribery incorrigible. Never
theless, every Car has scrupuously re-
spected the laws since Alexander I-.still

good Czar'-set the example of imperial
rectitude. The four Emperors of the nine

race, which concludes with a combination
cake walk and reel. In single file they
race around the pasture at a two-minute
gait until they are thoroughly limbered
up, and then, as if by preconcerted sig
nal, they form into a group and go into
a series of the most pompous gyrations.
1t is a grotesque sight particularly If they
have been lately plucked. When they are
in full plumage with their great wings
spread the ostrich parade is a beautiful
sight, for they are singularly graceful in
spite of their great numbering figures.
The ostrich is homogeneous and helps
his mate in the domestic arrangements
1t is a curious sight to see the male bird
making the nest. He rests his breastbone
on the ground and kicks away the sand
behind him. When he has eXcavated one
side he turns his attention to the other,
finishing with a round hole about four
feet in diameter and one foot in depth
II he is bad tempered he is often rough
with his wife, giving her kicks and cuffs
that are more than love taps, but as he

The largest ostrich farms in the United
States are in jacksonville, Fla,
and South Pasadena, Cal, the former
numbering $50 head and the latter about
600. At first the eggs were left to the
care of the hen ostrich, but it was soon
found that in the land of the free she
evinced a more independent disposition
than in her African home. and didn't take
that motherly interest in the nest which
was expected of her, so the incubator
was called into action, and the hen-bird
relocated to the supply department. In
this line she was an unexpected and brill
liant success. The wild ostrich lays ten
or A dozen eggs and then begins to set,
but the domesticated article falls victim
TO the articles of her owner. With Yam
kee ingenuity the Southern ostrich farm
ers took to removing the eggs from the
nest as soon as they were laid, where
upon the ostrich would lay more; and at
least two cases are on record where the
bird, in a patient effort to keep the sup
ply up to the demand has laid fifty eggs
before getting discouraged.

cially nominated court with closed doors,

der to be regarded as a convict" The
irritation in the army is extreme, and
this feeling constitutes a new and very
grave danger for the Gar.
The PeriIous Error.
Thirdly, the Car has committed a peril
our error in offending the fathers and
mothers of the 1900 students in the en-
pre. A momentous change has come over
the mind of educated Russia since the
days of the Crimean war. The emancipa-
ton of the serfs soon after that war, by
Alexander II. has revolutionized the
status of the mobiles, who are terribly i'm
poverished, and who know that the chief
need of Russian upper-ciass grades is an
outlet for the energies of thier clever sons
and daughters with prospect of compen-
sation for the loss of their old advantages,
which are gone forever. BY this treat
nent of the whole of the university under
graduates the Car has brought things to
such a fearful pass that the high-born
parents see the future career OF their
children at one blow destroyed forever,
The Car is now in critical position, md
all Russia wonders what his choice will
be. He must either make immense con-
cessions. and so admit that he has been
wrongly counseled by the Hoy Synod, or
he must plunge back into the old methods
of the pre-emancipation era. This is what
the educated classes are dreading, while
the peasants and the workmen have re-
Gently shown by their determination with

But it is not often that it saves man
from financial disaster, as 1t did in the
following case. An American visiting Eng
land was dining in London the other day
during the hight of the Wall street boom
The talk turned on that subject, and the
American, who had bought largely at
high figures maintained, against the gen
eral opinion, that the great prices rested
on a solid business basis. Suddenly he saw
in the spoonful of soup which he was
raising to his lips four letter, forming the
word Sell" Somewhat shaken by this,
for he was a man of superstitious turn
of mind, he went on with his soup in a
troubled mood, until only six of the small
white capitals remained floating in his
plate They spelled the word Unload
Hastily rising he excused himself upon q
plea OF indisposition and took cab to
the nearest open telegraph office. He
cabled to his broker, ordering the imme-
date sale of all he held in railways. As

Jacksonville farm, draws a light wagon
carrying two men, and there are few trot-
tiers in the vicinity that do not breathe
dust when Oliver gets after them. Cor
bett, another member of the flock, is a
good saddle bird, and is said by those who
have been astride of his mighty back to
have an easier gait than the smoothest
going horse. But, quietly as the birds
submit to such discipline they are abso-
utely unreliable, all of them; without
sense of gratitude or loyalty. The man
who gets in front of one and in reach
ing distance does so at the peril of his
life. After weeks of kindly trea tment,
good feeding and patient coaxing an os-
trich will fly at his keeper and tear him to
pieces with that formidable claw, if he
gets the opportunity. Any endeavor to in
spre a domesticated ostrich with fear OF
respect for human being is vain. He will
attack man or horse without hesitation,
but from small dog he will flee in mad
terror, beating himself against the bars
of his enclosure in his efforts to escape.
