sAsED THE MATES CONSCIENCE.
The Answer on a Coastwlse Vessel
Was Grateful to the Seafarcr.

Inc Answer on q CoastWise Vessel
Was Grateful to the Seafarer.
Coming up from New Orleans to
New York On one of the fast freighters
that carry passengers" said a man at
the Aston house, Il got on pretty good
terms with the first mate-which Is
something Of an achievement, by the
way, as the average seafaring man has
even a greater contempt for the land
lubber' than the cowboy has for the
tenderfoot. Perhaps it was because
be took me for a physician. One of
the passengers had been amusing him
self by trying to guess the occupations
of the others through their casual re-
marks in the course of conversation.
and on the strength of something | had
said the word wac passed around that
| was a doctor of medicine.
THE mate had something on his
mind. and one day he took me into his
confidence. On our last trip to New
York he said, there was a chap from
Cincinnati in a pretty bad way, with
booze. He began to Q spiders and
things, and 1t made me sort of uneasy,
as there wasn't "a doctor on board.
Pretty soo he got violent, and | had
to do something. So | got the irons
en- him, and gave him q good big dose
Of morphine to kind of soothe him, and
then locked him up in my own state
room l couldn't have done more for
my own brother, could ~
Il silently assented.
"'Well, would you believe it?' said
the mate, in an injured tone, when l
went to get him up, the chap was
dead
" Dear me! what did you do?' 1
asked.
"'Do!' echoed the mate. There
wasn't but the one thing to do. We
sewed him up in tarpaulin and sank
him. Kind of a wet grave, too, for a
chap that had been so set against
water when he was a-living. But, say,
doctor, | want your honest opinion. Do
you think that l did all that l could do
in reason for that man?'
"tOf course | assured him, of
course. The orthodox treatment for
a man with delirium tremens is irons
and morphine
Then the mate left me with a clear
conscience."-New York News.

Some Aspiring Municipalities Are &c
Small al to 30 Ridiculous.
The recently completed census OF
the United States reveals some singu.
lar facts relative to the towns and

~so-called Cities" which are SO ridic.
ulously small In population as tc
make 1t a matter Of wonder and
amazement that they are really cities,
The populations Of a few such cite,
may be given as illustrations. The
city of Johnson, Kan, has q popula-
ton OF only fifteen and the population
of the city of Coronado, In the same
state, is even less. being only ten.
There are several cities in Kansas
which have very diminutive popula
lions, as follows: Bird, So; Brainerd
TO; Ford, 80; Freeport, SO; Horace,
80; Hugoton, 81: Richfeld, 61; Trib
une. 62; Ulysses, 40. The city Of 81
loan Springs. Mo-, has a population OF
eS. The city Of B~rigantine, N. j., has
O population of 80, but, small as ia the
population of that city, it is nearly
five times as large as that Of the city
of Lavallette, in the same state, which
has a population Of only 81. The
city which exceeds all the others in
the diminutiveness of its population
is the city Of Rainy Lake, MINI.
which has a pornlation Of only 7,

Wants to Come to morgantown With
out Going Through Farmont Says
We Had Magnificent celebration.

Congressman B. 3. DoyeneF. of
Wheeling, was here Saturday for
the celebration. He evidently en-
joyed himself and fell in love with
the town. He wants it arranged in
some way that a man can get from
Wheeling to Morgantown without
going through Fairmont or Pitts
burg This is what he said in an
interview after he returned from
this city:
While IN Morgantown ] was very
much impressed with the desirable
ity of having better railroad faeili-
ties netween this city and Morgan
town The latter place is now
hustling city and within the city
there is population of between ten
and eleven thousand Business is
very good, many handsome iesi
dences are being constructed in adj
dition to the many already built
and every thing indicates that a
close connection between the two
cities would be OF great value to
both, and especially TO Wheeling.
Facilities are now very poor for
intercourse between the two cities.
There is one very good way over
which u road might be constructed
that would be almost direct and
would save considerable time in
travelling | beliese that it IS the
best way that is available. | would
suggest that road be built runni 9
out beyond Elm Grove and then
along the National road to Wash
ington, Pa. Fion that point he
road should run down along the
Greene county { Pa line to Morgan
town Morgantown is only few
miles from the line This route
would necessitate little leveling and
presents the least difficulties of any
that | think of, and in addition to
these points, it is by far the most
erect of an3 that could be run be
tween the two cities.
When asked concerning the re
union exercises Capt. Doyener spoke
very entertainingly and enthusiast
cally OF the days celebration. He
stated that there were at least ten
or twelve thousand people ia at
tendance at the exercises and that
those who had ATTENDED the celebra-
tion in former years stated that if
the weather had been clearer that
there would have been at least half
as many again present. Captain
Dovener places it as one of The most
magniicenta1airs that he has ever
attended"

SMITH RESIGNS
From Public Schools to go back
to the Library.


Three Other Teachers will not be here
next year Although Four Additional
Teachers will be Required School
Reard Discusses Situation but takes
no Action.
w. w. Smith has resigned his pc.
sitiou as principal OF the Morgan
town public schools, and accepted a
place as assistant in the University
Library for the next year. Mr..
Smith left place in the Library
last winter to fill vacancy in the
school and now returns to the Libra
~ at an increased salary.
A meeting of the school board was
held Tuesday evening but very little
was done, except to talk oven the
situation in regard to teachers and
salaries.
Three or four additional teachers
will be required for next year, in
creasing the force to about Is.
Four OF the teachers tor last term
will not be applicants for the next,
so there will be a number Of new
teachers to be appointed.
Miss Wolfe will go to a new place
next winter for the benefit of her
health, having suffered with asthma
| in this climate. Her home is at
,Iohnstown, Pa.
Miss Floyd, who gave up her pc
sition last winter on account OF sick
ness will not return next year. Mr..
Smith has resigned, as stated above.
The colored school is without a
teacher since the meteorie career oil
the graduate from Wilherforce Uni
versity last winter.
No action on the election of teach
ers can he taken officially till the
first of July. 1t is supposed that
most, if not all of last years teach
ers who 50 desire, can have the same
positions next term. No new appli-
cations for positions have yet been
made.
The school board desires very
much to increase the salaries Of
teachers, but, with the present funds
and sources of revenue there seems
little prospect of an increase being
| possible. A substantial increase in
salaries was made last year
