1t is universally conceded that Mari
eta has a much harder fight in the
matter of the location of the Ohio river
dam than would have been the case If
charges of piracy had not been made
against the city of Parkersburg, and if
the engineering department also had
not been charged with having been
moved by political influence. True.
these accusations were made by indis-
Greet, irresponsible parties who have
no influence in Marietta, and it is un-
fortunate that these facts are not
known by strangers as they are by the
citizens here at home. The fact of the
case is that Parkersburg made no
move whatever in the matter until five
o'clock Thursday afternoon, and then,
as the Journal says, after member Of
the Marietta Committee had telephoned
the announcement that move would
be made on Washington that evening
Upon the receipt of this information,
which was so cheerfully and gratui-
tously given, Parkersburg proceeded to
appoint committee of her own, as the
Sentinel says, "to act independently of
the Mariettians," and which left for
Washington on the same train that
carried the Marietta Committee. Not
until after they had been jibed and
charges Of dam stealing had been
placed against them did the citizens of
Parkersburg do anything toward get
ting the dam, but now they are after'it
in earnest, and because of the contest
thus precipitated all action has been
deferred by the War Department until
the eonyening of Congress next winter.
Experience has long since demonstrat-
ed the fact that in this world desired
ends are not reached through the me-
dium of false charges and yilificatiOn.

OFFICIAL END.

1t will be remembered that a recent
law of Congress provides that where a
widow has remarked and by the death
of the second husband again becomes
be restored, providing she was the wife
of the soldier during the war. So it
| became an important question as to
when the war ended. In order to find
out just when the official end of the
war was Mr.. Hathaway wrote to the
Hon. Secretary of War and received the
following reply:
Washington, D. c., March 81, 1901.
Mr.. S. j. Hathaway, Marietta, Ohio.
Sir: Replying to your letter of the
18th instant, in which you ask as to the
official ending of the War of the Re-
bellion, | have the honor to inform
you that in the case of the United
States VS.. the Protector, the Supreme
Court of the United States decided that
the War of the Rebellion officially ter
minated August 20, 1866, by procla-
nation of President Johnson to that eff
feet. Very respectfully,
GEO. ANDREWS,
Assistant Adjutant General.
Of course we all know that actual
hostilities ended about May 1st, 1866,
but it was left to the Supreme Court
of the United States to finally fix the
date for all purposes of adjusting all
claims and litigation that grew out of
the war.
The bulk of the army amounting to
over million of men were discharged
after May 1st, 1865, and the boys com
ing home with the flush of victory and
the honors of war thick upon them
were not long in seeking out their
sweethearts and so many of them were
married during the year following the
close of hostilities. Many of these
men died early and their widows have
again entered into that honorable rela-'
tion of matrimony and have again be-
come widows and we are glad to note
that all such will more than likely be
entitled to be restored to the pension
roll if they should so desire and thus
be placed on an equality with those
widows who were soldiers wives dur
ing actual hostilities or prior to May
lst, 1865.

ROOSEvELT'S
Address at the Banquet Of the Legal Aid
Society,

By Associated Press.
New York March 3.-The 25th an,
niversary of the Legal Aid Society was
celebrated by banquet at the Waldorf
tonight. Among the guests of honor

Chas. S. Fairchild, Lyman Abbott, st

said. There never is any use in re-
GREETING the changes that have swept
away conditions which perhaps we
should have liked to have seen obtained

that the duty of each is the duty to
his neighbor as we'll as the duty to
himself.
I'VE have to beware of those, who
in the revolt against one kind of JUS
tice flee to another kind of injustice.
No good whatever comes from trying
to apply false remedy, or from, when
recognizing an evil by trying to abate
it by the creation of a worse evil. Our
great safeguard against that kind of
revolution is the existence of suffic-
lent number of men who try to cut out
the cause which would lead to such
revolution. | think that of those who
have studied problems, all are convinc-
ed that often times the men who play
the hands of agitators against the
existing social system especially the ex-
isting system as regards property, are
the very men who clamorously insist
upon an undue share of the benefits of
the existing social system"
Afterwards the Vice President at .

given in honor of Governor Odell.

AN OIDEN TINE MINISTER.

Many years ago attended, one Sab
bath morning, Methodist meeting IL
an out of the way country church. The
minister was large. raw-boned man,
with not much learning, but filled with
zeal for the Masters cause. At that
particular church the young people had
formed the habit of getting up during
the services, and marching out, to the
disturbance of the people, and great
annoyance of the minister.
No doubt the minister had heard of
this running out on the part of the
young people, and had determined to
break it up, at least he did his best to
destroy the habit.
Shortly after the commencement OF
the services, and after the minister
had begun to warm up over his dis
course, young woman rose and pro-
ceeded down the aisle with some dis
play over her new clothes. The preach
er stopped, looked after the damsel,
and as she was approaching the door
said in a loud, sonorous voice, ''if there
are any more young ladies present suf-
fering with the fldgets, l will stop un-
til they get out" No other young lady
suffering with that malady, he proceed
ed with his discourse. Again he was
warming with his work, and was show
ering his denunciation on sinners heads
when a great tall fellow, with huge
cow-hide shoes-brand-new-and with
a squeak to them like wheels of 2
wagon that had not been oiled for
years, started down the aisle. BY this
time the preacher was filled with
wrath, and he shouted forth, "if there
are any more young men with more
heels than brains who wish to go out,
/ will stop until they can do So" No
one wished to retire. T.

DAYS A N N
What the Earth Is Coming To Some
Ages Hencs.

The earth revolves on its axis once
in "A hours. Millions of years ago
the day was % hours; millions Of
years before that it was 81 hours. As
We look back into time we find the
earth revolving faster and faster.
There was a time, ages ago, when the
earth was rotating in a day of five or
six hours in length. In the remotest
past the earth revolved in a day Of
about five hours. 1t could revolve no
faster than this and remain a single,
unbroken mass.
When our day was about five hours
long the moor was in contact with the
earth's surface. 1t had just broken
away from its parent mass. As our
length of the terrestrial day increased
SO did the distance of the moon.
Whenever the rotation time of a
planet is shorter than the period of
revolution of its satellite, the effect
of their mutual action is to accelerate
the motion Of the satellite and to force
1t to move in a larger orbit-to in
crease its distance, therefore.
The day Of the earth is now shorter
than themonth-the period of revolu-
tion-of the moon. The moon is,
therefore, slowly receding from us,
and it has been receding for. thou
sands of centuries. But the dav of
the earth is, as We have seen, growing
longer. The finger of the tides is al
ways pressing upon the rim of our
huge tiywheel. and slowly but surely
lessening the speed # itsrotation. So
long as the terrestrial day is shorter
than the lunar month, the moor will
continue to recede from us.-Londop

THE GROWTH OF GOLF.
Over a Hundred Thousand Players in
United States.

Golf has inspired the statistic fend
to produce some astonishing state
ments. If you have neever PLAYED
golf yourself and have grown into the
habit of avoiding those who do, even
regarding them as public nuisances,
these roundly substantial figures may
help you to calculate the extent of
your affection:
1t may be some consolation to YOU.
for instance, to know that one reason
you have been suffering such uncon-
sclonable boredom during the past
year or two is that there are 1000
listed clubs in the United States.
The average membership of a club.
surprising as it may seem, is 100,
This makes a total listed membership
OF 100000, each one of whom has no
other interest, it may be assumed, or
subject Of conversation. Perhans
you feel as if you had personally met
the 100000. That is hardly likely;
though, again, youmay comfort your.
self with the reflection that you could
be no more bored if you had.-N. Y,
