BATTLE WITH MOONSHINER;

Huntington, w. Va, Sept 13.-At
the head of Fauls Creek on the noun
tains in Mcdowell county, yesterday, a
desperate battle was fought between rev.
enue officers and moOnshiners. Two of
the latter were shot, one of them fatally.
Deputy Marshal Buiord with four as
sistants left Welch in the night and at
4 o'clock the officers dismounted near
where the illicit still was thought to be.
They crept through the underbrush and
quietly overpowered the sentinel and
forced him to lead the way to the still.
As they crept down the steep side of the
rock the still was seen in full blast, and
half dozen men were working. The
sentinel yelled and the moonshiners
made dash for the officers. Then the
fight was carried on from rock to rock
until the officers made dash and cap
tured the position. The prisoners were
taken to Welch, and are in Jail. The
still was DESTROYED

CUBAN AFFAIRS.

The Cuban house of representatives
Yesterday confirmed its vote authorizing
President Palma to float bond loan Oh
S35, 900, 600. 1t was explained that the
added tax on alcoholic liquors, which
will be imposed partly to guarantee the
loan. meant an increase in the import
duties. This tax had been understood
to be consumption tax applying to
alcoholic liquors made in the island as
well as to imported liquors.
During the discussion some OF the
members criticised the bill as unsatis-
factory in that it does not give proper
guarantees. The Plat amendment was
also criticised. Some of the speakers
stated that the bill was meant either as
the basis for future changes, or was a
bluff.
The House decided to devote $3.50
monthly to pay the cost of experiments
in the treatment of leprosy that are be-
ing conducted by two Cuban doctors,
who claim to have discovered a cure for
the disease
At meeting of the cabinet yester-
day it was decided TO sell the electrozone
plant that was used for the sanitation OF
Havana.

SAID CRIMES ACT JUSTIFIED REBEL
LIoN.-In acknowledging the presenta-
ton yesterday of the freedom of the city
of Waterford, Ireland, John Redmond,
chairman of the United Irish League
and of the Isish parliamentary party,
said the agrarian question, the last real
obstacle to home rule, was near settle
ment. The ranks of the Irish landlords
were in revolt against the few wealthy
politician landlords who had long led
them to ruin. The crimes act prOcla-
nation justified any resistance, even
armed rebellion. If this was not resisted
he would despair Of obtaining benefits
for the people of Ireland.
Alta meeting of the corporation Of
Dublin called to deal with the action of
the government in proclaiming Dublin
under the crimes act resolution was
adopted protesting against the COURAGE
and insult offered the citizens of Dublin
in proclaiming the city in which, in pro-
portion to the size of its population,
there was less crime than in any other
city in the world"
The unionist councillors opposed the
resolution, and the lord mayor retorted
that the unionists were apparently pre-
pared to swear to the righteousness OF
whatever Englishmen did, even though
it cast ignoming on their city. The reso-
luton was adopted by 40 to 6 votes.
A meeting of the corporation of Cork
broke up in confusion yesterday as re-
suit of the comments on the lord mayor 5
refusal to allow his reception Of the chief
secretary for Ireland, George Wynd-
ham, on the occasion of the latter's visit
to the Cork exhibition on Tuesday, Sep
TENDER Q, to be discussed without notice.

FATAL LEAP.-One of the most dis
tressing runaway accidents ever known
in Petersburg occurred yesterday, result
ing in the tragic death of Miss Virginia
Lassiter. Miss Lassiter was being driven
in her fathers surry up Washington
street, there being no one in the vehicle
but the colored driver and herself.
When the double team reached the cor
ner of Washington and Davis streets the
horses took fright and getting beyond the
control of the driver, ran off at a
breakneck speed. Miss Lassitcr jumped
from the surry, although warned by a
lady friend, who was passing down the
street at the time, not to do so. Her
dress got caught in one of the wheels
and she fell heavily upon the vitrifed
brick roadway and the IS of the street
electric railway track. Tier skull was
fractured and she fingered until o clock
Yesterday afternoon, when she died, hav-
ing never regained consciousness. AT
the time of the runaway Miss Lassiter
was on her way to Birdville, in Dinwid
die county, just outside of the corporate
limits of Petersburg, to visit her brother,
Congressman Francis K. Lassiter, who
has been sick for some days. Miss Las
sitter was about rs years of age and one
of the best known young ladies in Peter-
burg. She was daughter of DR.. ID. w.
Lassiter, leading physician of that city,
who is now in Boston with his other
daughter.

Royal Woman Carves Pipes.

Princess Charles of Denmark has
many accomplishments and few anna
tours can equal her as carver In
wood. Her royal highness has recent
ly taken to carving pipes and some
very beautiful ones. indeed, has this
bright. popular princess given to her
husband and her relatives. The prince
of Wales is certainly not a great pipe
smoker, but he sometimes takes
whit" out of most exqusitely
carved brier, presented to him short
time ago by his sister, Princess
Charles.
YES" said the joke-loving prince to
an acquaintance few weeks ago, who
was lost in admiration at the beauty
of his royal highness' pipe, this pipe
is a grand one, must confess, and
particularly value it because it was
carved by my sister, Princess Charles
of Denmark. Do you know, though,
and his royal highness looked very
serious, "when was sailor enjoyed
pipe far more than do now?' But
that is easily accounted for. l always
smoked clay then, and, oh, how
sweet it was" With sigh the prince
continued, says the London Mail, but
now you see l am prince of Wales; so.
of course, l must make these terrible
sacrifices"

Cod Fishermen sIeep Little.

Once begun. codtishing on the Banks
is incessant, and when the fishing is
good the men rarely ever sleep. Awak-
ened at a. m. to fill their bait kids
or tubs, they start at daybreak to lift
these travis and remove the overnight
catch, rebaiting the hooks again. There
are about 5000 hooks to handle, and
this often occupies until eventide. when
the boats row back. After unloading.
the deck is piled high with the glitter
ing mass of fish. To eviscerate this
and stow it in the hold keeps them I'M
til midnight, when they snatch an hour
or two of sleep.
Some can go without sleep for a
week, others will rub wet tobacco in
their eyes. so that the pain may keep
them wakeful a few hours longer. 9th
ers, again. will work till they drop
from sheer exhaustion. and sleep as
they lie. until aroused by comrades.
A Chinese torture is to keep men with
out sleep. says Ainslee's Magazine, and
banking does this to an extent to
satisfy even the most exacting celes-
tial. The men sleep in their undercloth
ing; when above decks they can never
leave off their oilskins. for on the
Banks 1t is rarely fine; mist and murk
prevail and the rigging and sails drip
water always.

1t was then that Aunt Maria grew
alarmed and wrote to her brother:
II don't know what ais Lucy; she
spends all her time down in the little
summer house, with her embroidery,
and when spoken to jumps as though
shocked. She seems under great men,
tai strain, and as l do not care to be
responsible for the child as far as her
health is concerned should feel much
relieved if you would run down for a
day or two yourself and have a talk
with her."
This letter was the milestone which
marked the turning point Of the lives
of four people.
Mr.. Bolingbroke did run down for a
day or two" and arrived unexpected
ly. while his sister was paying tenants
calls.
Remembering the fact that Lucy, pc
culiarly enough. spent all her time in
the summer house, he sought her there,
and found more than he had expected
His surprise and rage were reflected
on Paddy's face, and Lucy, with a
scream of terror. flung herself face
downward on the bench which ran
around one side of the pavilion.
For a moment the silence was oppres
sive and Mr.. Bolingbroke and Paddy
glared. Then, unable to control him
self longer, the iron magnate broke
forth with a vehemence that shook the
frail structure in which they stood.
Paddy glanced appealingly at Lucy,
whose sobs had abated. and who sat
with her eyes glued to her fathers face
with queer expression of mingled
scOrn and pity. The pater's wrath was
spent at last, and yet no response from
Paddy, who was actually smiling bland
ly at his foe.
Leave this place." shouted Boiling

tlemanly rage. Lucy shall never see
your impudent face again! Will you
go?"
Lucy looked with pride at Paddy,
who, being never more composed in his
life, calmly answered:
certainly will go. Mr. BOlingbrOke,
but shall take my wife with me-"
The paters face grew white, then
purple.

ETIQUETTE OF MARRIAGE.

GD HE majority Of women says an

that control first weddings that most
concern them. But yet there are GER
tain forms which society has decreed
must be followed at the marriage OF
widow that will interest the sex:
All the legal obssrvances required are
the same for maids and widows. At one

dress. Sne, however, generally carries
bouquet composed of white or colored
flowers, whichever she fancies.
At the marriage Of widow the bride
Is not attended by bridemaids, al
though the bridegroom has his best
man.
Although a widow when bride for
the second time is not attended by
bridesmaids, she generally has lady
friend who acts toward her the part Of
lady-in- waiting, or, as she Is often
now called, dame d'hOnneur," who
stands near her during the service,
holds her gloves and bouquet. and, in
fact. undertakes the same little duties
that are usually performed by the prin-
cipal bridemaid.
In other things the same etiquette Is
observed as at all weddings. The invi-
tatiOns are sent out in the same manner
and time, and the form Of words en-
plOyed is also similar.
The ceremony in the church Is con-
Quoted in the same way as at other mar.
riages, the bride being given away by
her father or the friend or relative who
acts as father for the occasion. The re-
moval Of the first wedding ring takes
place the day of the second marriage,
when it is to be replaced by second.

COntentment and Obedience.

A spirit of contentment should be
cultivated in children. We have all
had disagreeable experiences In the
presence of a child who is constantly
wanting something and whining for 1t.
Mother, cant do so and so? Il
want to have this or that" A baby Is
contented to play with its own little
pink toes, and as the child grows older
the disposition to appreciate and make
the most of what it has should be fOs-
tered.
Obedience is one of the first lessons
to be caught the child, but it should
learn to obey not from a sense Of fear
of threatened consequences, but rather
should the mother try to teach the
child to obey with the conscience. to
cultivate the little ones sense of honor
and respect, so that the instinct of obe-
dience will prevail even when the
mothers back is turned

WHY ROMULUs SOUGHT ADVICE.

He was seated in his office one day
when an old negro. one of his charity"
clients came in. Taking Off his hat, the
old man scraped his feet and, bowling
very obsequiously, said:
