REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
STATE mkETIHG WILL BE CALLED
BY CHAIRMAN DAw VISION.
VIII Convene In wheeling About the
middle of February-To ne
ISSUED shortly

The republican state committee will
be called by Chairman w. III. o. Daw-
son to meet in Wheeling between Feb.
ruary Is and 90. The call has moi
been issued yet, but it will be to this
effect in few days. This will be the
committees first meeting to take up
the campaign plans, and it will pro.
vide for the dates of the delegate
convention to choose delegates to the
national republican convention in
Chicago.
The fixing of these conventions al
ways waits on the date of the nation
al convention, and since chairman
Hanna has spoken the West Virginia
body is pre- paring to meet.
The state committee at this meet
ing or subsequently will take up the
matter of cutting down the basis of
represen alton to the state convention.
On the old basis of one delegate to
every 100 votes cast for Mckinley,
1888 delegates would be entitled to
seats. This number will likely be cut
in two, which will make about 600,
which is almost twice as many as the
Pennsylvania state republican conven-
tion will have,

Cobbler's Daughter to Become Wife

An Engagement Which Is Keeping

Hungary Powerful Count
victim of Cupid.

Gossip Is busy ia the Vienna suburb
Of Hernais over the approaching mar
riage Of rich Hungarian count, OF an
Gent lineage, with the daughter OF a
local shoemaker. The fortunate dam
sci is Elisabeth Kolazia, whose father,
Joseph KOlazia, has been for many
years an industrious working cobbler
In Hernals. Her BetrotI.su is Count
stephen Gyulai
Miss kalazia is a really good-looking
young woman, who is said BY the neigh
bors TO be as modest and amiable as
she is pretty. She worked as a seam
stress and out Of her slender earnings
contributed to the support of the fam
lily household, which included FIVE
younger brothers and sisters. What
little spare money and leisure time she
had were employed in visits to the the
ater and opera, and in reading.
When leaving the imperial court
theater one evening nearly three years
ago, she was accosted by an elegantly
dressed young man who introduced
himself as Count Stephen Gyulai His
manner was perfectly respectful, and he
asked permission to call upon her fa-
Their. Next day the count appeared in
the shoemaker's small apartment, the
first of many such visits.
Then, says the Kansas City Star, the
counts visits became more frequent.
He made the girl many and costly pres
ents and bought her fashionable cos
tunes. and took her to theaters, con-
certs and other amusements Some of
the counts aristocratic friends and ac-
quaintances looked doubtfully at his
fair companion, but the nobleman APP
peared supremacy indifferent to their
opinion. The remonstrances of his
family had no more effect upon him,
for he was deeply in love with the Her.
nails shoemaker's daughter and deter
mined upon making her his wife.
Elisabeth's father and sisters were
entertained at the counts house in VII
emma, and, contrary to the sort of thing
in story books. were always treated
with the utmost courtesy. The count
came frequently to the shoemaker's
quarters and his acquaintance proved
very valuable to the latter from busi-
ness standpoint, for the shoemaker's af-
fairs prospered visibly. A few days ago

Dear Sir:
1t gives re verv great pleasure to
send you my check for $500, in re-
Spouse to the circular letter issued by
the Board of Trustees of the Martins
burg Public Library Association.
remember the beginnings of the Mar
tinsburg Public Library and have
heard of it's financial difficulties with
very great regret. 1t is difficult for
me to believe that the people of Mar
tinsburg having had some years of it's
valuable service to the community
and having had every opportunity now
to realize how valuable an aid it is in
tie dissemination of publio knowledge
and euucation, can fail to respond. l
must believe that it has won such a
place in the confidence and affection
of the people that this appeal will be
even more literally responded TO than
the necessities of the Library require.
Yours very truly,
Newton d. Baker.
