ing upon the theory that the woman is
alive, The difficulty appears to be one of
terms; it has been impossible to convince
the brigands that the $4,000 in the hands
Of Mr. Dickinson represents every cent of
money that has been subscribed toward
ransoning the captive and they are holding
out for minimum of 500, ,O0O which is
only 1O.O00 less than their original demand
IT is stated that not single dollar has
been subscribed to the ransom fund since

AN HISTORIC STRUCTURE

The old court house at Philippi,
one of the Oldest landmarks in West
Virginia, is to come down to give
way to a new and modern court
house, that will cost about $4,000.
The question of voting on issuing
$50, 900 bonds will be voted on
September 5. Barbour county needs
a court house very badly, and the
only reason why one has not been
erected before was the recollections
that surrounded the old building.
The first battle Of the Civil War
was fought at Philippi, and the
court house was used as a hospital.
The court rooms are about as
ancient as one can imagine, but the
historic old building must go.-Ex.

Eight months.the "corners" cut the

AT two, the middle "nippers" drop,
AT three the second pair can't stop.
When four years old the third pair

AT FIVE full new set he shows.
The black spots will pass from view
six years from the middle two;
The second part at seven years,

WASHINGTON, August 6, 1901
If it took Secretary Root three
years TO make up his mind to take
the first step toward putting a stop
to an illegal practice on the part of
army officers in the Philippines, who
handle government money, how
long will it take to stop the prac.
tice3 That is the conundrum sug.
gested by Secretary Roots request
that the heads of bureaus in tie
war Department submit suggestions
as to the best way of relieving the
responsibility of officers who handle
public money in the Philippin es,
and what ought to be done about
those officers who have been and
are violating army regulations and
making themselves liable to court
martial by depositing public funds
in foreign banks, instead of taking
the chance of keeping it in their
possession. Three years ago the
attention of the Secretary Of War
was called TO this matter, and Con-
gress had dab at it, but did not
improve the situation. 1t author.
ized the deposit of u. S. funds in
banks in China and elsewhere. pro
vided the banks so designated would
deposit U. S. bonds with the Treas
ury Department to the value of the
deposits. a number of banks were
designated as repositories of public
funds under that act, but every one
of them refused to buy and deposit
U. 5. bonds. This left the officers
of the Paymasters Department the
choice between violating both law
and army regulations and keeping
the money near them and taking the
chances of having it stolen. Most
OF them chose the first and a recent
report from one officer shows that
he has more than 5000, 600 in a
Hong Kong bank. Another officer,
who was among the few who chose
the last, was recently robbed of
$40, 900, which he had in a small
safe and of which no trace has since
been found. Surely it was high
time that the War Department took
the matter up. 1t is true that moth
ing can be done to relieve the situa-
ton except through an act of Con-
gress, but it is also true that the
War Department should point out
to Congress what ought to be done,
in order that the failure of the last
legislation on the subject shall not
be repeated.

Intelligent observers just from
Cuba report business in a bad way
all over the island, owing to the IN
certainty of the future. Merchants
are afraid to invest any more CAPT
tai until they know more about
what the Cuban government IS TO
be, and they are unusually careful
in selling goods on credit. The
worst part Of the business is that
there is no hope for any change for
the better in the near future, as the
shortest estimate Of the time that
will be required to establish a
Cuban government is eight months
from the date upon which General
Wood issues the orders for holding
the two elections that will be neces.
sary, and Gen. Wood is now in
this country, or rather i'm the waters
adjacent thereto on board a govern
mcnt vessel, which he is using as
his private yacht and the orders
will not be issued until be returns
TO Havana, which he says will be
in about three weeks.
