deep feeling than of giant intellect. The strong anti-slavery feeling with which the book is permeated had its growth begun in early girIhood, when the little Harriet Beecher sat listening to the fiery idenunciations uttered in the pulpit by her father The Beechers all along were very outspoken on this question, even after removing from their New England home to Cincinnati, dangerously close to southern territory and southern preju- idices Whilst residing in Cincinnati. Mrs. Stowe frequently visited the south and thus became familiar with the sur roundings which later were to be so ,yividly pictured in her book. Her home sheltered many a fugitive slave, and she and her husband aided not a few runa- ways on their escape into Canada. After the return of the Stoves to New Eng land, Mrs. Stowe, fearing the fugitive slave act might lead to the spreading of slavery even to the northern states. and feeling that people did not at all realizethe horrors of slavery, set to work to attempt book that would have some small influence Neither she nor her family dreamed what that influence was to become, and when the story was pub lished in serial form it did not attract much attention. But presently it grew into fame; within five years from pub- lication, 500, 900 copies were sold in. the United Staets alone. To-day, critics pronounce Uncle Toms Cabin" by no means the best of Mrs Stoves produc- tions, but it certainly is the book by which she is known to the world at large.

Miss Anthony has been interest ed in many reforms temperance, edu- cational and the great movement for the abolition of slavery but she is best known as the champion of ssWoman's Rights Though born a Quaker, Miss Anthony has been known for aggres- siveness rather than meekness of spirit.

The Quiet Observer

1t seems to be the plan to soar
high In figures when there Is extra
professional work to be done for a
municipal corporation. A city for
an employer Is considered an easy
mark aud the game is to get all
that calloused conscience can ex-
act and still keep within the legal
limit of collectibillty. The taxpayer
who furnishes the goose that lays
the golden egg, Is not considered.

The Observer holds the opinion
that a provident council would have
a definite understanding as to price
with all persons whom 1t employs
on the side. This precaution would
minimize imposition and extortion.
~
The reputed councilmanic ring
is apparently not so strongly link
ed this year as 1t has been In the
past. The policy of the indepen-
dents, who have majority of one,
seems to be to oppose on general
principles every measure proposed
by the ringsters. This rule appli-
ed generally Is reprehensible.
These should be reason In all things
and tactics that spring from spite
are beneath the dignity of repre-
sentatives of the people.

From a reliable source, the Re-

Brooklyn. In a few days a gang
of men will be put to work on the
grade from Brooklyn south. The
work on that end of the road will
be very light as the track goes down
the river bottom land which makes
the grading very light and can soon
be made ready for the ties.
Mr.. Mcclure, book keeper for
the company, was in the city
this morning and says he IS very
comfortably located at the old Ank
rom homestead. He says the
people of Sistersville have treated
him with much kindness and he
will reciprocate by turning all the
business he can this way. He Is a
very pleasant young man, and a
good business man, a thorough
clerk and we are glad to extend TO
him a most cordial welcome to the
best town on earth.
Mr.. Miller Is also here and IS
busy keeping things going along.
He says as soon as everything is In
good shape on the line along the

here to Middlebournee will be taken
up and completed as rapidly as
possible. It's fine weather for out
of door work and the graders are
making good headway.

nation In their eyes, stating that
the law has been violats d In Sis

shooting Of fish TO be done by Sis
tersville parties, there would be
dozens watching them, and the
Review does not doubt but that
some of them would be found In

law. The only difference Is that
the people from this city are not
there In violence of the statute and
the other fellows, in the absence Of
any thing else, will shoot the fish.
Were a few from here to do It,
those sharks who frequent grand
jury rooms would forego their de-
sire for fish, esteeming the witness
fees more desirable.

gentlemen, and show them that
there are more malignant and more
