Tie Parkersburg News publishes an
interview with prominent Morgan
town politician and business man, w.
e. Glasscock. in which the question
Of the denomination and reelection
of Congressman DAYTON was touched
upon. The News aces on to saw About
a dozen men map out and control leg
islation in the house, and Mr. Dayton
is one of this number. BY close ap-
plication and hard work he has not
only achieved the success of his emf.
nent predecessor, Hon. William l..
Wilson. but is now doing more fol
West Virginia aud the nation than
Mr.. Wilson did at the close of his
congressional career. The States that
have prestige in the national congress
are few in number and they acquire
this distinction by returning theiI
worthy representatives term after
term. Mr.. Davton's position has de-
seloped beyond district and State
lines and he is now looked upon in
congress MS one of the few men who
do things.

meut Of uncertainty when that man .
interests come IN direct conflict with
the interests OF others. There is no
effort being made to impugn the hon

derstood fact that the saloon-keep-

that it would be placing the welfare

Yet this does not remove the element
of dissatisfaction which their election
would occasion in the minds Of those
who want to see the citv take for

The Commoner onglIt to be pretty IN
teresting reading II Cleveland should
be put MP for President. While Mr
Bryan has a grudee against hill and
despises German, he bates Cleveland
with an intensity OF hatred such as no
Democrat has had for another member
OF his party since the Breckinridge
supporters OF 1860 rejoiced at Douglas
overthrow in the Northern states and
Lincolns election. A ghost dance III
Nebraska would take place ON the
night when the news would come OF
Cleveland's defeat at the polls. This
fact may not deter the Cleveland boom
ers. They are not saying that he conid
be elected. They only insinuate that
he would come as near election as any
man whom the Democrats could name.
OF course. it will be expected that
Mr.. Bryan will take the stump for the
Republican ticket if Mr.. Cleveland
should be dominated next year. The
Republicans could win without Dry
ans help OH the stump, but we pre-
snme Mr.. Hama or the manager OF
the canvass. whoever he chances to be,
will not put the Nebraska man on
the track if he wants to aid the Re-
publicans The outlook for the Re-
publicans seems especially bright for
the canvass of 1904, yet the campaign
leaders should be willing to accept
q two thirds majority in the cleo
tional college If Mr.. Bryan and his
friends agree willing too help them
to get it. AS an assailant of the ex-
President. the ex-presidential candi-
date would be at his best. He would
be able at attract as big audiences as
greeted him when he was getting his
ovations in 1896 and 1900.

Senator Tillman. inoensed bv the
mention of Mr.. Cleveland for another
term in the White House, asks:
"Why what sort of ours do they
take us for, to expect us to vote for
such a man as Cleveland? You can't
change democrats that way Here is
a man who hasn't even voted the DEM
ocratic ticket in the last two presiden-
tial elections. He threw the influence
Of his name and his career. IL he had
any influence, against the ticket. You
might as well talk about nominating
a republican as head of the democratic
ticket. II would be about as probable.
The senator from South Carolina
puts the matter too coarselv. We're
those hundreds of thousands of DEM
ocrats who voted for Horace Greeley
'scursn? OF course not. They want
ed to wiz. and had been persuaded to
believe that under MI. Greeley lead
ership they could win. They were not
required TO TetrhCI dHN VI tlO manu-
things they had said about their old
enemy, who had never been demo-
crat. As matter of fact, the honors
or however you may choose to ex-
press it-are about even between Mr..
Cleveland and the south. Each played
the other for sucker in 1892, and
both lost. Mr. Cleveland did not
doubt that if he gave the south all the
patronage she wanted he could swing
her any wav he pleased on the money
question, and specially as his way
was the accented way of the business
world. The south. for her part, did
not doubt that if she put Mr.. Cley-
Gland hack into the White House he
would "do the fair thing by silver
1t amazed Mr. Cleveland to find that
the south was really in earnest about
silver. and the south was disguised
when she found that Mr.. Cleveland
idea about doing the fair thing by sill
yer was to come as near as possible &c
burving it.

the Tuesday before the Feast OF s..
Michael next.
In New Jersey. on July. 6. 1885. the
convention resolved that this conven-
ton will send representative-wit
power to acceie on the part of this
convention to the fundamental princi-
pies published bv tho convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church held in
New York on the 9th and 18th days of
October. 1884.
The principal objection that is made
to the name as it stands lies i'll the
word Protestant. This is declared to
be mere negation. equivalent to
anti Roman Catholic.
In great many dioceses the senti-
ment seems to be against any change
of name. and some predict, that very
few will vote Automatically on the
question except the high church por-
ton of the clergy. On the other hand.
some say that while the movement
was started bv the high churchmen,
vet MANY will vote for the change who
have no sympathy with high church
views. The Dioceses of Washington,
philadelphia. PittsbArg and Ohio are
already declared against it.

Blanc, the founder of the Monte Carlo
gambling resort, was well aware of the
desperate character Of many OF his
customers. Knowing that they includ-
cd the scum and riffraff Of the world,
he took precautions against them. He
never carried any money, which fact
he announced so frequently and pub
licly that it was known everywhere
along the Riviera that the millionaire
Blanc never had a penny on his per-
son. But he carried in a pocketbook a
draft on red paper for several hundred
thousand francs, payable to the in
dorsee. He feared kidnapping as much
as robbery, and in case Of abduction
he intended to ransom himself with
this draft. But the instructions at his
office were not to cash red draft with
his signature unless a telegram was
received from him ordering 1t to be
done.

THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 16. 1908
A chinaman's smoke.

In Persia and in Japan pipes about
the size Of a baby's thimble are USED,
providing two draws, a great waste OF
time. 1t Is the Chlnaman, however,
who in smoking gets endless work OUT
Of practically nothing at all.
He carries little box about twice
tho size of an ordinary silver cigarette
case. This is half filed with water. In
one end is a removable tiny tube to
serve as pipe. At the other end is the
pipestem. First Of all, he removes
the tube and blows through it to re
move all blockage. Then he fumbles
through his awkward clothes, search
ing for tobacco and produces a bit OF
rag in which it is wrapped.
Carefully he extracts wad Of tobac-
co. puts away his rag and slowly
plugs the tube, which holds perhaps
the tenth part Of an ordinary cigarette
But he never has any matches.
So he has TO borrow or hunt out 5
brown paper stem and light II II
CLOVIS for a long time and can be pru-
cd into fame again-he gives q lohg
draw; slowly, approximately, the
smoke oozes from between his Celes-
tial lips; he spits; he draws again and
gets small result. The smoke is over.
He removes the tube, blows through it,
and the proceeding begins all over
again.

The Heart.

The human heart is practically a
force pump about six inches in length
and four inches in diameter. 1t beats
10 times per minute, 1920 times per
hour 1OO.SOO times per day and &c.
100000 times per year and 300 4O,-
GOO times H. seventy years, which Is
"man's appointed threcscOre years and
ten" At each of these beats it forces
215 ounces Of blood through the sys-
TEN. 175 ounces per minute, G5GH
pounds per hour or 7O3 tons per day.
All the blood in the body, which Is
about thirty pounds, passes through
the heart every three minutes. This
little organ pumps every day what Is
equal to lifting 122 tons one foot high
or one ton 122 feet high-that is, one
ton TO the top of 4 forty yard mil
chimney or sixteen persons seven
score each to the same height. Dur
ing the seventy years Of a mans life
this marvellous little pump, without n
single moments rest, night or day,
discharges the enormous quantity OF
1850 tons of blood.

Lost Pins.

What becomes of pins?
1t would really seem rejecting upon
the daily disappearance of pins that
the earth would be covered with them
and that the annual fall if measured
would amount to several inches. We
men who start out with pins playing
a useful part in the details of gown
will tell you that they never can find
a pin; that they are always buying
pins; that they are eternally loaning
them. In the dressmakers rooms the
expenditure for pins is no small item.
The average dressmaker uses and
loses twelve papers Of pins month.
Yet the floors of her rooms are not
matted with them, and frequently her
wall goes up, what has become of all
the pins?' Where indeed do they go?
Is there a crust of pins subtly forming
under the everyday sweep that will
puzzle explorers in some far age to
come ?-Philadelph Ledger.

The Victoria Medal.

The Victoria medal is made out Of
bronze from Russian guns captured In
the Crimean war. The design is the
work of the prince consort Of Queen
Victoria. The medals are made sep
arately and only when one is needed.
Thus when some soldier or sailor, no
matter what his rank may be, has
shown conspicuous bravery or devo-
ton to the country I'm the presence Of
danger" as the act reads, the war office
sends to the royal jewelers. the bronze
needed for the metal 1t is carefully
cast, filed smooth around the edges
and then the design is brought out by
chasing. The soldiers medal is sus-
pended by red ribbon and that Of the
sailor by a blue piece Of silk.

"YOu promised mother a letter. Write
it now" is one of the notices on the
walls of the Nagasak Home For Sea-
men, a motto that, it is asserted, has
restrained more men from going wrong
than almost any other influence of the
place. Wanderers over the globe are
not the only ones who need such a re-
minder. Indeed they might be able to
give lessons in filial duty to many who
have never realized how fortunate they
are that home and mother are not far
away, but near at hand.-Youth's Com
