RULES FOR WALKING.
How Ones Carriage May BE Improved
In a Way That Is Simple and +"
Healthful.

A physical culturist and beauty spe-
cialist. a man who combines the two
in his rather expensive course of treat
ment, gives his patrons these rules for
walking: aaszf*.si.
They are, as you will see, superficial.
They do not go to the root of the
trouble, but they are effective and in
a short time woman will walk bet
ter without knowledge why she does
so. If she will merely go by the d.
rections she will improve her carriage
hundredfold and, often, this change
will be so marked that her friends will
comment upon it before she has prac-
ticed it week.
Here are several excellent rules for
walking:
Hold the head up.
Lift the chin high.
Throw the shoulders back.
Initiate the chest.
Draw in the abdomen.
Take very long steps, probably twice
the length of your usual ones.
Walk from the knees.
Turn the foot almost at right angles
with the leg.
Practice your walking experiments
in your own room at first.
Lift the skirt high enough, street or
room. to allow the use of the foot and
leg without firing.
Breathe deeply. This last is most
important of all.

pR1cK1Y PEAR AS FORAGE.
Spiny Growth In Western Texas
That Makes Good Fodder
for Cattle,

There is an old saying that every
created thing is in some way useful,
and l am beginning to be less doubt
full of 1t as grow Older" said an
Oklaho1Ean in reply to man who
had been arguing that such things
as rantulas, centipedes and rattle
snakes never should have been put on
earth, reports the Kansas City Star.
'Now, you fellows who have never
been on the plains might say that
the prickly pear cactus was foe to
both man and beast. l thought my
self for long time that it was sim
ply i'll the way, but l changed my
mind last summer. Ike Pryor,
known to every cowman in Oklahoma,
has big ranch west of San Antonio,
in which are hundreds of acres COW
cred with prickly pear. The plants
grow taller than mans head, and
so close together in places that cattle
and horses cannot pass through
them. A cow pony soon learns to
fear the sting of the prickly pear.
Should you be pushing your pony
pretty hard in chasing a yearling and
suddenly run into prickly pear
patch you are in danger of getting
thrown unless watchful, as the pony
will do his best to jump over the
punches of bristling nettles. If the
plant is too tall the pony will strike
it with his fore feet and crush it
down until he can leap over it with
out filling his skin full of stingers.
''Now, if I should say that the
prickly pear is one of the best forage
plants on the Texas range you might
think ] was liar, but it would be
the truth. In western Texas the
grass sometimes is burned up with
drought, and water becomes scarce.
It was seen that cattle were eager to
eat the prickly pear, which is sue
culent and filled with juice, but the
nettles stung their mouths and
tongues until they grew swollen and
bloody. The right man generally ar

had q compressed air gasoline torch

foot or horseback. The compressed
air forced a fame from tube to a
distance of three or four feet, max

this manner in dry seasons. The

PRESIDENT RECEIVES.
Faculty Entertained in Honor of the
BOARD of Regents.

1t would not be easy to imagine a
more delightful social affair than the
reception which President and Mrs.

The hall, parlors and dining room

TWO CENTS
GLASS MATTERS.
Morgantown Man Has Invented
a New Machine.

John Il. Stein has Invented Process
for Making Glass Collar Buttons
New Pots for the Morgant0wn-Un -
settled Conditions in Window
Houses.
John B. Stein, prominent glass
worker at the Morgantown, has filed
an application for patent by which
he expects to make good lot of
money and to revolutionize the in
dustry of making collar buttons.
He has machine which will make
these indispensable articles of wear
of glass.
The buttons are pressed and are
made of tough article of glass so
that they will not break. They can
be made of any color and will har.
monize with the color of the shirt.
The buttons will not discolor the
clothing or the person and will be
free from the objections made to
brass buttons.
They can be made cheaply and
the consumer can get them cheaper
than the brass or bone buttons. All
kinds, shapes and sizes will be
made.
Buttons for cloaks and others ar
ticles of clothing can also be made
by this process.
Nine of the pots at the Morgan
town are out of commission ON &C
count of having been broken. There
are "a pots in the two furnaces. Sew
eral of the shops have been laid off
on account of these pots being bro
ken.
Twelve of the Findlay pots have
arrived and two of these will be set
tomorrow. These pots are the best
that are made aud will be much
more durable than the old Pittsburg
pots which have been used.
About thirty shops are running
at the factory. Forty-four were in
operation before the shut down and
the number will be increased short
ly. New men are coming in to work
aud the plant will be running full
before very long.
The window glass trade is some
what disorganized on account of the
disruption of the independent Sell
ling Agency. Thirty one factories
are now outside the combines. They
will for the greater part join the new
Federation but several of them will
remain outside so that a general war
may begin in the rates for glass.
Conferences are being held in
Pittsburg to affect some sort of an
arrangement so that this may be
avoided. Some of the factories will
start October fourth but most of
them will wait until the 18th when
the general resumption is to occur.
The workmen have been granted an
increase of about 1870 over the wages
paid last year.

David Will be here in Person.

So much interest is being taken in
the forth coming presentation of
"David Harumn at Swisher's Theatre,
Friday September 26th., that the as
sumption seems warranted that the
sale Of seats which begins this morn
ing will be unusually heavy. AT all
events arrangements have been made
to handle very large crowd when the
sale opens. The success of the play
has been of unusual proportions. In
fact none of the bookmade plays Of
the past three seasons has had so great
a measure of success and the work
possesses lasting qualities which will
give it life for many years. Mr..
Turner who heads the cast, made
very close study of David Harum"
and before the production of the play
went to Homer, N. Y, and visited
all of. the places mentioned In the
book. In making up as Harum he
adheres closely to the description of
the man given by Westcott and he
certainly CLOCKS the part, " Great
care was taken in giving the play the
necessary atmosphere and the produc-
tion is most complete one. The

and is pretty The second act shows
Harun's office in the bank and the
third shows the old fashioned sitting
room in Aunt Polly's house.

SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
M. E. Conference is to try a
Minister Next Month.

Rev. 4. II. Shannon of Glenn East0n
To be Arraigned for Alleged ImmOr-
al Practices has Been up Be-
fore but has not been Determin-
ed-Efforts Being Made toward Sc
ereey.
At the meeting of the NJ. f. Con-
terence to be held in New Martins
vile beginning on October second a
sensational case is to be placed on
trial. This is the charge against Rev
T. III. Shannon of Glenn Easton
which is located near Wheeling.
Mr. Shannon is said To have been
unduly intimate with Miss Sallie
Grimes, daughter OF w. o. Grimes
with whom the minister boarded. She
gave birth TO a child which is said TO
owe its parentage 10 Shannon.
Shannon repaired the wrong done
the girl by marrying her. His case
came before conference at its last
meeting but was not determined
then. 1t was referred to committee
TO investigate. They have made the
investigation and have prepared their
report.
What this report is they refuse to
divulge. They have taken some racy
evidence it is said. The conference
will refer it to committee OF thirteen
for trial and they will report to the
full conference.
It will then be determined what
course to pursue in the premises. An
attempt has been made to keep the
matter as quiet as possible and no in
formation for publication will be
made by those who are on the inside
of the affair.
Mr.. Shannon has stood high in the
church and the case will be one that
will attract attention both inside and
out of the denomination.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
MoRaANTowN, Sept 24.-We no
tice in your issue of September 18th
an article setting forth the fact that
the Hon., Joseph Moreland, who rep
resents the B. & O. r. R., at this
place as their attorney, filed a profile
of a proposed railroad from Cheat Ha-
ven Pa. to Rowlesburg w. Va. in the
office of the clerk of the county court.
The article then proceeds to state
that the road is the one with which
The Hon. John L. McGrow has been
identified for some time. We de-
sire through the columns of your
paper to deny this statement. Hon.
John T. McGraw has no connection
directly or indirectly with the b. &
O. r. r. in the construction OF any
line connected with or operating in
conjunction with the B. q o. Il. h.
along the Cheat River route. On the
contrary the Greenbrier. Monongahela
& Pittsburg r. r. Co. of which Col
McGraw is the president, is strictly
independent line and is neither owned
nor controlled by, nor connected in
any way with the B. & o. r. r.
The Greenbrier, Monongahela &
Pittsburg r. r. Co., has secured its
rights of way practically throughMon
ongalia County, and its preliminary
surveys were completed some time
ago. 1t is strictly independent line,
and it is expected that construction
upon it will be begun in very short
time. 1t will be most important adj
.dition to the transportation of this
County, and being strictly an in
dependent line will afford the best
possible facilities for handling through
business at reasonable rates, to and

MY personal preference would be
for action which should be taken only
after preliminary action by, and upon
the finding of a body of experts OF
such high character and ability, that
they could be trusted to deal with the
subject purely from the standpoint
of our business and industrial needs;
but, of course, Congress would have
to determine for itself the exact meth.
cd to be followed. The executive has
at his command the means for gath.

can act whenever it is the desire OF
Congress that it should act. That the
