THE ETERNAL FEMININE.

WOmanIy Sympathy, Not IntelIectu-
aIity, Counts at Last.
81 got another glimpse of the eternal
feminine recently" says a Washington
physician, 'and 1 shall never again ex-
press surprise that men of admitted in
tellect should marry women who are
not their mental equals. Among my
patients for the last few weeks-in
fact, until he died-was a man of re-
uarkable ability and character. The
base had been in the hands of another
doctor, and when 1 took charge saw
that there was little hope of recovery.
The illness was complicated and, will
confess, difficult of diagnosis, and it
was not until shortly before the fatal
termination that all the symptoms de-
veloped.
1.-THE patients wife was a little wo-
man whom one could best describe by
the term sweet l never saw greater
devotion displayed in the sick room.
Her anxiety was pathetic, her watch
full care unceasing, and grew to look
up to her. But never could explain to
her just what was the matter with her
husband, although after really found
out made the most perspiring efforts
to do so.
How is he today, doctorY she
would say in the most pathetic fashion.
The first time she put the query went
into details by way of explanation.
The danger from pneumonia has
diminished to certain extent / said,
but from the heart action l notice GER
tain symptoms of carditis which give
very little grounds for hope.'- Then
would continue to explain the trend Of
the disease so simply, thought, that a
child could understand it. When con-
cluded she nodded intelligently and
said in a manner so pathetically sweet
that my heart went out to her:
"I understand. But, doctor, how do
you think he is?'
81 groaned inwardly and made some
reply, holding out little hope, and new
er again attempted to go into detail.
But as 1 watched her during the trying
days until the end came / forgot all
about her failure to comprehend my
explanation. l forgot everything, in
fact, except that l was a witness of
that wonderful depth of affection of
which the feminine nature alone is ca
pable, and it would have made no diff
ference to me If she had not been able
to say her alphabet. 1 honored her as

THE EXTREME LIMIT PROBABLE
Council Will Probably Assess Taxes
Tonight.

The meeting of the city council to-
night will be an important one, in that
the tax rate for the current year will,
quite likely, be assessed, while other
matters of importance will command
attention. From indications yester-
day, it is believed that the rate this
year will be the extreme limit which
the law allows, u per cent, or SIS
upon each 81, 900 of property. The rate
last year was $13, and taxpayers had
hoped for some relief this year in view
of the large sums derived from saloon
licenses, but this hope, it is feared,
will not be realized. From tax rate
of So or SO per thousand a few years
ago it has nearly doubled now, to say
nothing of the burdensome special
taxes imposed upon every line of bus
mess now conducted in AmericuP. But
council has not yet levied the rate,
though this seems the prospect.

One OF the largest and most import
ant deals taking place in this section
within the past several months was
consummated in this city late Friday
afternoon. 1t involved the purchase
of property at the sum Of aAluarter
million dollars and is in all probability
the beginning of an important rail-.
road and development movement.
The deal was engineered by Edmun
Hugill and o. A. Apnon, of this city
They have been working on it since
December and met with remarkable
success to close deal of such magni-
tude in so short time.
By this deal they have sold for
Charles NJ. and John b. Hart, of this
city, the Alexander property in Bar.
bour and Upshur counties to an east
ern syndicate. The purchasers are G.
81. Williams, Justice Cox, Jr., and
James Graf, Philadelphia capitalists.
The consideration was s25O,C0O
The property consists of Is, 900 acres
of land, the Rich Mountain railroad,
several saw-mIlls and so on. The rail.
roads rolling stock consists of loco
motive, twenty or more logging cars
and a steam loader.
The tract is one of the most valu.
able in West Virginia. 1t has cxten-
siye timber lands and is under!aid with
the New River veins of coal, The finest
in the state. These two features OF
the territory together with its splen
did location make 1t very valuable
property. The railroad itself is yer,
valuable. 1t is the regular broao
guage and is in fine working condi
tion.
Before the purchase Mr.. Williams
thoroughly inspected the property and
was favorably impressed with it. He
reported the result of his investiga.
tions to his syndicate and they cam,
here and closed the deal as above
stated.
They are now upon the property
making further inspection of it prepa
ratory to future action.
The purchase win be a good thing
for them in the way of development,
It's location makes the railroad almost
necessary part of the Wabash sys
tenn, which VIII traverse that part Of
the state, and it may be that the Wa.
bash Railroad Company is behind tn,
deal. However, no such Information
has been authorized.

IRE operating Among people in

Say They Are peddlers Selling
Clothing at Low Prices.
Get Money Down But FAN to De
liver Goods.

Many residents have been swindled
in Taylor county by persons protesting
to be itinerant peddlers but who in
fact are impostors. Their plan was to
sell clothing, take half the price cash
In hand paid and agree to deliver the
at a future date. They
failed, however, to make good the last
feature of the agreement and their
patrons who had the idea that they
were getting goods cheaper are out the
money they paid them. These same
fellows after operating extensively in
that county have come into Harrison
county and are busy victimfzIng the
farmers. 1t is reported on reliable
authority that among those who have
been objects Of their swindle are Sid.
ney Raymond and Abner Stout, resid-
ing in Elk district. They are said to
haye purchased clothing, paying half
down but that was the last they heard
of the peddlers, from whom they were
led TO believe they were getting big
bargains. The people should be on
the lookout for them and give them
the "not-at-home" reception, when
they call at their front door.

MYSTERY
Connected With the Death of a
Baby Being prObed.
Officers Are Trying to UnraveI the
Affair.
Body May be Exhumed to Settle
the Matter.

Coroner W. P. Camp, Constable
Marcellus McClung and Prosecuting
Attorney J. E. Law are trying to un-
ravel the mystery surrounding the
death and burial of young child, re,
ported to belong to @. W. Lawman
and wife, who left here couple of
days ago for parts unknown. More
than ten days ago the child was buried.
The neighbors saw a conin taken to
the place and carried out. The child
was buried in the 1. o. o. f. GENE
tery. None of the neighbors were
called in. Gossip started in that
neighborhood and finally the officers
got on to the matter but not until af-
ter Lawman had departed. 1t was
ascertained that Mrs. Lawman was
not the child's mother, although Law
man gave out a statement, making
that impression.
Mr.. Camp and Mcclung spent sew
eral hours yesterday afternoon in that
neighborhood bit learned nothing of
value. There is no idea what physi-
clan, if any attended. No one in the
neighborhood seems to know anything
about it.
There is reason to believe that
something wrong occurred in the mat
ter and it will be thoroughly investi-
gated. 1t is possible the prosecuting
attorney will order the body exhumed.
