which is herewith published in order
to give our readers an approximate con-
ception of the magnitude of his gifts.
This plant has cost something near $780,
300, and includes about so acres of valu-
able land. A good school is in operation
under the direction of Prof Phillips, a
local preacher of our church. The
school is held and operated by a local
board of trustees. This is good ex-
ample to be followed by other men of
means. Our Conference Fund should bt
increased every year by such benefac-
tons.

They tell a story of John F. Carroll, of
Tammany Hall, to prove that much of
his success is due to his sublime self
confidence, says the New York Times
When he was clerk in the Court of
Sessions, all the court attendants ex-
cept Carroll stood very much in awe
of Recorder Smyth, and nothing would
induce them to cross him in any way
Carroll had one failing. Often when i'm
portant work was on hand Carroll would
be missing and could not be found any
where. This state of affairs continued
for some time, but one day the recorder
could stand it no longer. His oft-repeat-
ed cry: where's Carroll?" was heard,
and the attendants knew the court was
angry.
"Confound that fellow" shouted Re-
cordcr Smith, "he is never here when he
is wanted. | tell you, this thing cannot
be kept UP. This court isn't big enough
to hold both Carroll and myself. One of
us will have to get out"
When Carroll showed up the next day
one of the court attendants told him
of the big rumpus that had occurred
over his absence. Whereupon Carroll
said in all seriousness:
I'm mighty sorry Judge Smyith Is
going to resign!"
Prof. William Phelps, commonly
known as Billy, whe has repeatedly been
declared by the students as the most
popular instructor at Yale, recently
adopted a system Of marking examina-
ton papers in which he used letters in
stead of numerals. says the New York
Times.
What does this "a on my paper sig
nify?" asked a puzzled student.

you've put a &C. on mine. What's
that for?"
well, &C. is rather commonplace"
"And mine has a ID. T."
Because it's damnable," chuckled the
professor.
A student with an CO. on his paper
started question but thought better
of it and didn't care to have his curiosity
satisfied as to whether it was excellent
or eXecrable.

MIXED THE LETTERS.
Serious Results of Fool man Trying
to be Factions.

A well known citizen had been in
vited to an evening party. He want
ed to go, but his wife declared that
she had no gown suitable for the &C.
casion and asked him to send .'re-
grets" to their hostess. The map
went down to his Office and penued
this facetious note of declination:
1--WE regret that your kind invita-
tion must be declined for all the con-
ventional reasons, but the reason is
that half the family has nothing to
wear. My wife's latest dress is over
three weeks old, and her hat is twelve
hours out of date You will appre-
ciate the hopelesiness of the occasion
and excuse us.
He thought this pretty good and he
determined to write note to his wife
also explaining that he would not be
at home for an early dinner, as she
had asked him. He said in this note:
81 have turned down your invita-
tion because | am going out to an
other evening party where the guests
are not expected to wear anything of
Importance. Sorry won't be there
to kiss you good night"
And then the fool man carelessly
sent his wife's note to the hostess and
the hostess note to his wife.

PURECANDY HEALTHFUT. "A
As Necessary food-syarrows is best.

1t is agreed among the best ply
sicians that while cheap candies made
Of glucose and inferior ingredients
may be harmful, pure candy is not
only healthful but necessity. There
are but two items of expense in the
manufacture Of candy first the ma
terial used and second the labor. In
the manufacture of Sparrow's High
Grade Chocolates only the best and
purest materials are used and besides
it is made in clean and wholesome
factory by well paid and skillfull
laborers. AS a result only goods Of
the highest class are produced. They
make great many kinds of Choco-
lates so far as variety is Concerned
but all are of first quality. They also
make a handsome line of goods in
packages. The plain packages retail
at 35 cents for the half pound and so
cents for the pound boxes. The aver
age price of the loose chocolates is
sixty cents pound. Some of the
fancy boxes of Sparrows Chocolates
put up for the holidays will make
beautiful gifts from Is cents up to
SO. 90 owing to quality of candy in the
box and the beauty Of the box. The
manufacturers have arranged to have
the Acme handle their product in
Morgantown and this firm has re-
ceived almost a half ton nice aud
fresh for Christmas.

Both tripped and fell with Kiser

FLAT REFUSAL
Made by Undertaken Jones to
University.

He will not Deliver the Dead man to
Them for Dissection Remains Of
Unknown suicide Desired by Medical
Department-Law Gives Such Bodies
to them.
On Saturday the Fairmont Times
had more than a column about the I'M
identified dead man at that place and
the demand which had been made by
the University for it for dissection
purposes. The article in question
quoted letter written by DR.. W. II.
South To Undertaken Jones who had
the body asking that it be sent TO the
University.
The letter merely asked to be in
formed whether the body was claimed
by relatives or not and to secure all
information about it possible. The
law gives such bodies to the Anatomi-
cal Board which is really the faculty
OF the medical department.
Undertaken Jones got on his ear.
He misunderstood the law which
makes it mandatory on him to turn
over the body. He is required to noti-
fy the board and hold the body until
they can make some disposition of it.
He has declined TO do any thing of
the kind.
He has laid himself liable TO a fine
of from $25 TO 5000 and Imprisonment
for his refusal.
The Times stated that an agent
had been sent to Fairmout to take the
body IL need be by force. This is in
correct. No one was sent after it and
no one will be sent after it.
The University authorities are con-
tent TO have merely made the proper
demand in the proper manner. Then
when IL is refused the responsibility
is ON the one refusing
DR.. South was seen by this paper
and asked about the matter. He
stated that he had written To Fair
mont under direction OF DR.. Simpson
who is head or the department.. He
said that Prof. Barbe had been in con-
ference with Undertaken Jones but
that the latter had been very obdur-
ate and had fatty refused to do any
thing.
The body is said to be splendid
subject for dissection. 1t has not yet
been claimed. The man killed him
