Out, or up, in Parkershurg, West Vir-
ginia, an individual has confessed to the
present possession of sixteen wives. Such
rightful claim as he could lay to these
he had in one other. but she, fortunately
for her, died before she learned TO ap-
preciate her husband at his true worth.
For twenty years after her death George
Washington Anderson did not marry at
all; in the ten years that followed he mar
ried sixteen times. He has now reached
the age of IS years and his last victim
has had him bundled off to the poor
house. The wife who has displayed this
degree of hrmness was Mrs. Martha Jen-
kins, who at the time she was wooed and
won by the fascinating Anderson, was a
coy young widow of u.

bryan COUNTY COURT HOUSE.

A correspondent calls the attention of
the Morning News TO the proposal for
building court house for Bryan county
of wood, and asked an opinion on the
propriety of building public edlfce in
these days of that material.
There is much to be said on the line of
economy, in favor of a wooden building,
but when it is considered that a court
house is the repository of the records of
a county, and that all citizens and future
generations are vitality interested in the
preservation of such books and papers,
1t seems self evident that the building
should be of brick, and that part of 1t IN
which the records are kept should be
made as nearly fire-proof as possible
The one or two thousand dollars ad-
ditional cost would not be very
heavy on tho tax payers, and would make
every one feel more secure. The plan
now for building court houses for coun-
ties of limited population is to have
place for the courts and their officers,
to which is added a jail and accommo-
dations for the sheriff or jailor. A small.
handsome public building is a good in
vestment in any place. as Il is a sign of
thrift and public spirit.
Another point is that a court house
should be In a town on a railroad, where
1t Will be easily accessible to the visitors
as well as the citizens. Bryan county
has some thriving towns on the seaboard

at one OF them. II seems to the Morn
ing News that the people of Bryan coun-
ty Will make a mistake and be inviting
public calamity in'rinvesting their
money In court house built OF wood.

Kindness to Horses.

1t pays in dollars and cents to be kind
TO all domestic animals. An ugly temper
is an expensive thing on a farm; this is
especially true in the handling of horses
One of our most successful breeders of
driving horses, who has built up a profit
able trade in family drivers, his orders
exceeding his supply, says his success
has been very largely due to the fact that
he never allows a blow or a cross word
In the stable, yard or pasture.
Bad drivers make bad horses. A horse
cannot be screamed at and cursed without
becoming less valuable in every particu-
lar. To reach the highest degree of
value, the animal should be perfectly
gentle and reliable but If It expects every
moment that II is in harness to be scolded

which is not expected. 1t is possible to

a child, and when thus trained, the horse
reaches its highest value. When a horse
is soothed by the gentle words of his
driver and we have seen him Gained
down from great excitement from no
other means, it may be fairly concluded
that the man who has such power over
him is a humane man and a sensible one.
A gentle horse is worth more than II

Viciousness In horses is frequently nothing
but sheer timidity and almost invariably
is the result of rough treatment. Horses
would not give way to fear when a man

been accustomed to receive kind and hui

taught not to fear the approach of a hui

in a paroxysm of fear. The women hud-
died into circles facing outward, and
some of them were deathly sick for days
afterward as a result of the fright.
The aeetness of a well-developed Serl
and the powers of endurance possessed
by young and old alike are simply
astounding. Instances are on record
where Seri hunters have actually run
down and captured alive full-grown
bucks, and they think nothing of captur-
ing a frightened horse tearing forward at

in this direction, an enterprising Mexican
conceived the idea of exhibiting several

ing of the future, so that the increased cost of deep mining under ordinary circumstances, as well as the frequent diminution in metallic values, will be more than offset by cheaper explosives and cheaper power
 But perhaps the boldest proposition ot modern mining engineering comes from the Johannesburg district, in South Africa. In some of the great mines of that region much of the ore Ia of too low grade to warrant hoist iug and hauiiug. To obviate that drawback and increase the profit of the richer ore it is now proposed to reduce the ore underground. Down m the deep, vast chambers are to be blasted out and mills erected as near as possible to the ore reserves. The scheme looks chimerical at the first glance, but careful cons iteration shows it's entire feasibility.
