Ancient Marriage Certificate.

While in town Tuesday Mr.. A. D.
Bowman, of Rowlesburg, showed us
quite curiosity in the shape of an
old marriage certificate that he OBJ
tanned recently while over in Penn
sylvania visiting some of his relatives.
The document was we'll and plainly
writted on heavy old-time parchment
paper and was dated April 7, 1742, and
goes on to recite how the contracting
parties, Samuel Akrig and Hannah
Burton, of Crosscales in Dent, county
of York, England, had agreed public
ly to live together as man and wife
and been solemnly joined together as
such in the presence of quite a num-
Der of witnesses who all signed the
certificate and the writing and sigma
lures are well written and remarkably
plain considering the period and
length of time that has elapsed since
then.-Kingwood Argus.

What People Die or.

Among the fifteen maladies to
which the larger number of people
succumb, consumption comes second
on the list and pneumonia first.
Heart disease follows as the third.
According to the census showing
the twelve others which follow these
three are Diarrheal diseases, kid
ney diseases, apoplexy, cancer, old
age, bronchitis, cholera infantum,
debility, inflammation of the brain,
menengitis, diphtheria, typhoid fever
and premature birth.
A few years ago smallpox was
regarded as one of humanity's
scourges, but it does not now appear
to be reckoned among. the dreaded
diseases; since compliance with re-
quirements for its prevention this
disease is classed with minor all
ments whose fatal possibilities are
looked upon as too remote to give
much concern.-Greenwood Journal.

Presidential Inauguraiions.

Last Wednesday the Senate passed by
the requisite thirds vote the Joint
resolution introduced by Senator Hoar
which provides for constitutional
amendment fixing the termination of the
Fifty-eighth Congress for the last Thurs
day in April, 1905, and providing for the
Inauguration of the next President and
Vice-President at noon on that day.
If the proposed amendment should be
adopted the date of our Presiden tial
inauguration would be changed from
March every four years to the last
Thursday in April.
The main reason offered for the change
of date is that the fourth of March tisu-
ally comes in about the most disagree
able weather that visits Washington,
whereas the latter part of April is almost
invariably very pleasant and healthful at
the National Capital.

Panama Route the Best.

Washington, February 20.-Col.
0. H. Ernest, of the isthmian canal
commission, was before the COM
mittee on inter-ocean canals Of the
Senate to-day. In preliminary
statement he said the cuts on the
Darien route before the tunnel was
reached made that route impractical
BILE. While it had cot been ex-
anied carefully, he thought it would
take twenty years to construct such
a canal and at cost of $500, 100000.
AS a member of the commission he
was assigned to the Panama route
particularly, but went over the Mica
rauga route. In answer to questions
by Senator Hanna he said he would
have recommended the Panama
route in the first report of the COM
mission had the offer of the Panama
Canal Company to sell for $4O,000,-
600 been made at that time and gave
the following reasons for so doing
The Panama route was shorter,
straighter, lower, having four locks,
as against eight for Nicarauga, and
cost 81 1850, 900 less per year to main
tain and operate.

Tho soolabIo Candidate.

A story, which is part of the fot-
sam and jetsam of recent political
campaign, is worth more permanent
place in the annals of human nature.
A candidate found, to his surprise,
that voter, somewhat ignorant, but
OF influence in his ;ghborhood, had
suddenly decided to vote for him.
This was the reason the man gave for
his change of bases
81 was against you at first, sir, and
when you stood by that pigsty and
talked with me for half an hour you
didn't bulge me an inch; but after
you had gone away got to thinking
how you had reached your hand over
the rail and scratched the pigs back
until he lay down with the pleasure
of it, and l made up my mind that
when a man was so sociable as that
with a poor fellow. creature wasn't
the one to vote against him."
Undoubtedly, if the candidate had
scratched the pigs back as mere
electioneering expedient, it would
not have had the same effect, for
your thoroagh-going farmer is very
quick to detect thing which is done
for show. The city man frequently
gets the credit of such sharpness,
but the fact is that he is so prone to
consider all things frauds that he is
sometimes inclined to reject an hon.
est man in favor Of sharper, because
the latter appears to be clever. 1t is
pretty safe to conclude that when
man is immensely popular with the
plain people of the country there is
something genuine in him which they
instinctively feel; and in this case
the candidates. impulse to make the
pig happy appears to have been half
unconscious, and all the more i'm
pressive on that account. 1t would
hardly be safe to conclude that any
candidate may 60 to Congress by the
simple process of pig-scratching, but
honest friendliness toward '"fellow-
creatures" never comes amiss in
politics or in life.

considering, perhaps, whether it
should not be made in favor of quad
rennial sessions, and submitted to
the voters in all the counties in that
form. The loss by the change would
only be that of the three sessions of
Legislature out of four as at present.
The saving and gain in money alone
would be. $350,0O0 every ten years.
Whether that amount can best be
expended in holding unnecessary
legislative sessions, or for some other
public purpose is the whole. .question
in effect.
CERTAINLY $25O,OOO can be saved
every decade without any kind of
loss, by cutting off half the sessions.
And the saving is too important
matter to be left to the discretion of
any half dozen men, whether in
the Senate or out of it. The subject
should not be forgotten or overlooked
when the Legislature adjourns. The
time TO deal with it effectively will
come in the campaign next summer

planned to them the meaning OF each

baked over the line Long may it

as they seemed to associate wave
with water, but the teacher, flag in
hand, demonstrated to them that
wave meant to float in the air.
Float seemed to them much better

it went this way, much to Che patient

Booker T. Washington Addresses Negroes.

Tuskeegee, Ala, February co.
The eleventh annual session of the
Tuskeegee negro conference assem-
bled at Tuskeegee Normal and Indus
trial institute to-day.
At the opening session Principal
Washington said: at is most en-
couraging to note that the time has
come when Northern people and
Southern people can cooperate in
the uplifting of all classes who need
assistance.
''1t is with race as with an indi-
yidnal the place to begin to make
improvements is right where it is.
If we cannot improve our condition
in the South, do not believe that
there are many spots on earth where
we can do so. There is an oppor-
tunity open in the South for every
black man to purchase farm and
make an independent living upon
that farm. Agriculture will give
the race the foundation upon which
to build and prepare itself for more
important things.
"There is nothing in politics or
any other avenue of life that can
begin to compare in Importance just
now to the negroes securing a home
and becoming a taxpayer and edu-
eating his children into all the i'm
portant occupations that are about
his door"
