Sweet Notes of the Wood Thrush.
The song OF the catbird and the brown
thrasher could i'll be spared but il
would be harder still to part with that
Of the wood thrush. He can be readily
persuaded to come and make his home
IA the city II there are sheltered
grounds and orchards TO be had. His
notes are few. but sweet. and he seems
never to tire of practicing them over
and over again. Aspiration is the quail

The best singers among them are
masters of the trill and variation. These
warbIed notes which they interpolate
have a singular power OF taking captive
the ear and clutching the heart as well.
Heard In a midsummer noon from the
dense shade of some tall beech. that
song OF the wood thrush seems a con-
densation of all that is eerie and lone
some in the woods. Heard at evening
as the bird sits high on some dead limb,
those tirelessly repeated notes Suggest
a touching vesper service at the close
OF the day.

when the nearer is still drowsy. and the
music makes its way through the cur

CHARGE
According to the reports the oil
fiel Is of West Virginia have been ex-
tended uy discoveries which have add
nearly thirteen thousand acres to the
properties in which Washington men
are interested financially. The news
was brought by J. 8. Hanna, who is
a business associate of former Cover
nor McCorkle. Mr.. Hanna announced
that the new fields had been tapped
and three wells were now spouting
fifty barrels dav. These wells, he
said however. were only comparative
~ small affairs.
The story has gone forth that SEN
ator Elkins and ex Senator Henry G..
Davis have been very actively engaged
in deal which resulted in the pur.
chase of tract of 10000 acres OF
coal lands near Fairmont In addition
to the purchase of this vast area are
rumors of similar purchases in the
COMMITTEES Of Braxton, Kanawha, Writ.
Calhoun, Upshur. Randolph and Web
ster. These lands are bisected by
the proposed extension of the railroad
of which Mr.. Davis is president. and
which is believed to be part of the
Wabash system in West Virginia. The
particularly interesting part Of this
story is that by this purchase the Gould
interests have ontwitted the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, and the former will
now build what is known as the Pitts
burg Elkins branch of their line at
the earliest possible moment.

Rock Sand, favorite and piloted by
Jockey "Skeets" Martin, an American,

All Of the races yet TO come In Eng
land in which these two colts will be
contestants will see this same order Of
mounts-Martin on Rock Sand and
Maher on Flotsam. Inasmuch as they
are picked to ride one-two in the great
derby, it begins to- look as II the Brit
ish jockeys were going to play second
fiddle again to Americans.
Both Rock Sand and Flotsam are
trained by George Blackwell. Sir James
Miller owns the 1000 guineas winner
and Sir Daniel Cooper owns Flotsam
Last winter these big turfmen tossed
con for Makers services, the cable
Gossip saws. and Sir Daniel wen the
toss. Rock Sand is now the hottest
kind of favorite for the EpscT' derby,
hut those who ere IN favor Of Flotsam
say that Maher may take the classic
with Flotsam because Rock Sard has

Mr.. tscass.rs Gets Fest az deal
Rad ~ uA.sswn Person.

An unknowa iividual got decided
ly the worst u 4 deal he made Sun
dav night with Mr. r. L. Deatrick.
Of this city. The trade occurred ali
Mr- Deatrick's branch store in Kear.
neysville. and he was no; willing
party to the transaction. In fact, he
didn't, know the trade had been made
until Monday. when he was inform
ed OF II by the manager OF his branch
establishment.
1t seems that the aforesaid iudividu-
al got it into his head that there was
rich haul for some discreet person
who could effect an entrance into the
store, and he made elaborate prepare
tions to get In quietly and carry away
enough stuff to set M store of his
own. He GOT in. all right, and opened
the till in his search for capital. He
got about - in small change, but was
frightened away before proceeding
further. IN his haste to escape the
burglar forgot to take along his kit of
tools--and there is where Mr.. Deatrick
comes in. The tools were examined
By an expert, and pronounced strictly
up-to-date and worth at least three
times as much money as the burglar
got. But Mr.. Deatrick is puzzled to
know what to do with tho tools. He
isn't quite ready to go into tho burg
ling business himself and is making
diligent inquiries among his friends to
SEQ il he cannot find some one who can
make use of them. The owner of the
kit can get his property bv applying
to Mr.. Deatrick, but the latter dors
not promise to ask no questions.

Causes Considerable Excitement ON the
Streets Last Monday.
The quietness of the city was dis
turbed last Monday by an alarm of
fire. which had been turned in from
the Third ward. The reel and ladder
wagon RESPONDED Immediately and
within a few minutes thew were ON the
scene but they were of no use as the
fire proved to be a slight one in the
chimney of house on the corner of
Maple avenue and Stephen street.
The OCCUPANTS of the house were
veIv much surprised when the hose
carriage and ladder wagon arrived,
and soon ouieted their Intense desire
to use the water, bv telling then. that
the chimney was only burning out
and that salt had been used and that
there was no danger Of the building
catching fire. By thisl .time Ia large
number of people had arrived and ap-
piled numerous questions TO Young
members of the family as to the dam
age, etc. who replied tTheIe Z is no
fire. 2 The smoke could be seen for a
considerable distance, and it is
thought that some resident saw 1t and
thought that fierce fire was raging
and turned in the alarm.
