THE IDEAL WOMAN.
Not Only Easy to Live with, But She
Il Also Wen Worth Liv-
ing For.

An ideal woman, according to an OBJ
serving member of her sex. who has
devoted considerable time to studying
the characteristics of her sisters, is one
without an ideal, says the Brooklyn
Eagle Not only is she easy to live
with. but she is worth living for She
has no history. She has no story. She
wears a reasonable hat at matinees.
She is too clever to talk of woman 5
rights; she takes them. She wears
frocks that match her hair: she does
not dye her hair to match her frocks.
She helps her husband to build up
a fortune for himself, and never seeks
to rake up his past She believes that
a theory is the paper fortress of the
immature, and that a clergyman may
still be a man She knows that when
men talk about a woman being good
looking, they mean that she is well
dressed. though they don't know it,
She does not insist upon her husbands
eating up the cucumber sandwiches
left over from one of her parties; she
eats them herself. and suffers in si-
lence
She is not such a fool as to fancy
that anyone is ever convinced by ar
gument She does not reason. She
loves. She does not believe that a
man can love only once OF only one.
She herself prefers loving much to
loving many. She knows that every
real woman is the ideal woman. the
fact being that every ideal of the ideal
woman is wholly dependent on the
ideallst. and every woman who is
idolized is idealized

SENATORS TO
INVESTIGATE
Indian Committee to
Look Into BroSiuS'
Charges

A Washington dispatch of the
10Th states definitely that a sena-
torial committee will investigate
the Dawes commission affairs and
scandals and set Oct. 10 as date
for leaving Washington. The dis
patch follows:
The proposed investigation by
the senate Indian committee OF
the charges against federal Office
holders in the Indian Territory
contained in The Btosius report
will take place. The committee
to make the Investigation will
consist of Senators Stewart, of
Montana; Quay, of Pennsylvania,
and Dubois, OF Idaho. Subsequent
events will depend upon the re-
suit of their discoveries. The COM
mittee has set Oct. 10 as the day
for it's departure for Washington.
The intention is to visit every res.
ervation and TO make the inquiry
as searching as possible within the
limit set on the committees time
until the meeting of congress
in November for the extra session.
The committees range of inquiry
is expected to take in the Dawes
com mission, with a view to de-
termining the advisability Of abol-
ishing that body altogether and
handling the affairs Of the terri
tory through the direct medium
OF the commissions Of Indian af-
fairs. II the information develop
ed should proye the truth Of the
charges made by Brosius and 9TH
ers, il is likely that the commit
tee will recommend a formal in
curry by JOINT committee of con-
gress.

IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
CHARLES wINrERMoyER STRUCK
ny HOLT or LIGHTNING.
Electricity Enters at Fireplace and che
victim Is Rendered Unconscious


The intelligence of very serious
and nerhaps fatal accident caused by
the lightning accompanying the heavy
storm which passed over this county
last Thursday night. was brought TO
this city Sunday by Mrs. Charles
Wintermoyer, resident of this county
near Johnstown. back Of Hedgesville,
who spent the dav with her sister-in,
law, Mrs. kershaw, OF South Queen
street
She said that her husband, herself
and their l3-year-old sou were sitting
in the dining room at their home
Thursday evening when the storm was
at its height, when a bolt of light
ming came into the room, stunning all
of them. The bolt struck the chimney
of the house and came down TO the
fireplace on the first floor. near which
they were sitting, and then entered
the room. Mr.. Wintermover was sit
ting nearer to tile fireplace and he re-
I y
Mrs. Wintermoyer and the child
were severely stunned, but soon re.
covered. They found their father ~
ing conscious on the floor He was
revived after much work, and it was
found that he had no use of his body
below the hips. The bolt struck him
at the hips, on parallel line with tie
top of the chimney, and extended to
his feet. He was suffering greatly and
when told that they wore about to
send for physician, he said that it
was of no use that he could not recov-
er.
Medical aid was summoned and DIR.
Ward, of Hedgesville. Immediately re-
sponded. He administered an opiate,
which relieved the pain, and upon an
examination it was found that the
flesh below the hips was shriveled up.
His condition at present is very seri-
ous, and little hope of his recovery is
entertained.
Mr.. Wintermoyer is wellknown in
this city and throughout the county
and many will learn of his distressing
accident with the greatest regret and
sincerely hope for his recovery. The
damage was very small to the house as
there were only few bricks knocked
down.

he was 25 wears of age. and was next
to Grant. Sherman and Sheridan one
of the most conspicuous of the many
brave officers who helped crush the re-
bellion.
Miles services On the western from
tier were also of the most brilliant
character. and easily place him in the
front rank of the nations Indian
fighters 1t is matter of some regret
that so distinguished soldier should
in later wears have teen at odds with
the governing powers at Washington,
but that fact will not affect the luster
of his achievements. His retirement
closes great career.
The president has directed the APP

Rear Admiral Melville reached the re-
firing age for all officers of the navv,
but was held in active service by a
special order of the president until
Au ust s. when his term of is years
continuous service as engineer-iD-
chief of the navy expired.
Probably there is not an officer now
on the active list of the navy who is
better known at home and abroad than
Rear Admiral Melville. Because of
his long and varied experience as an
officer in the United States navy, his
widely read and qaoted works on ma
val engineering questions, his dis
tinguished services during the Civil
war. aud more particularly because
of his explorations in the artic re-
gions, Rear-Admiral Melville is gen.
orally considered one of the ablest
officers in the navy. and his retire
ment will occasion much regret.
