One day while on hunting expedi-
ton in the Alps Victor Emmanuel met
an old woman gathering brambles. She
inquired of the stranger whether II
was true, as she had heard, that the
king was in the neighborhood. If so,
was there any chance of seeing him?
Yes" said his majesty, "he is about.
Would you like TO see him?"
The old woman declared that few
sights would give her more pleasure.
"Well, mother, l am the king"
She stared at him for a moment and
broke into a grin.
Get out with you, Jester! Do you
think q nice woman like the queen
would marry Il chap like you, with
that hideous mug?"
The king was not offended. Per-
haps the compliment to his wife mol
lifted him. He gave the woman q
piece of money, with which he was al
ways free, and passed along.

In the recent republican convention
for the senatorial district composed OF
Berrien and Cass counties, although an
agreement had been made two years ago
giving each county equal representation
Berrien county claimed the larger num-
Der of delegates to which it was entitled
by reason of its larger vote, and the del
egates from that county declared they
would have their full quota or nothing.
Cass county conceded to Berrien its
proper representation, and then all was
harmony. Exactly this same condition
prevails in this judicial circuit, compos-
ed of Van Buren, and Cass counties, ex-
cept that the agreement for equal repre-
sentation was made six years ago. 1t is
not reasonable that delegates should be
permitted for some temporary political
expedient, to bind the mass of voters in
their county for years to come, and we
do not believe any constituency is bound
To recognize any agreement OF this KIND.
II is unrepuolican, in that it gives the
minority equal voice with the majority
in the making of nominations. Even IT
Cass county should be permitted 60 Sc
lect the republican judicial nominee
next spring, we believe Van Buren, should
insist on the seating of its full quota of
delegates in the convention. Cas- s
county, 10 its action towards Berrien in
the senatorial convention, has recognized
the fact that such agreements are futile
and ineffective and are not binding. 1t
is arrant foolishness to permit one set of
delegates to barter the just representa-
ton of their county in conventions for
all time to come.

A FAMOUS SOCIETY.
where London's Famous Preachers
mud Tenchers Gathered.

The closing decades of the last cen
tury comprehended the pflmy period Of
n distinguished little society in London
which might have been described rs IA
club for the teachers and preachers Of
their age, secular or religious. Such
indeed was the Metaphysical society.
It's organizing spirit had perhaps been
James Knowles. If its most famous
member were found in w. IL. Gladstone
its leading spirits, who took the most
active part in its discussions, were
Cardinal Manning and Richard Holt
Hutton. the editor OF the Spectator.
James Martineau, Matthew Arnold and
William George Ward, the erewhile
mathematical tutor of Ballot, as well
as the poet Browning may sometimes
have been of the company, but the chief
figures were those already mentioned.
In his earlier days Hutton, like SO
many reflective men of his day, was
the disciple of +. ID. Maurice. Then
among his associates were j. NJ. Lud-
low and Thomas Hughes, the author of
"Tom Browns School Days" After
ward X. III. Hutton's mental master
would have been recognized by him in
his brother member of the Metaphys-
lcal society, James Martineau.
The great incidents in its proceedings
at this time were the high speculative
arguments wherein different sides were
taken by teachers of their generation
so mutually opposed and so individually
distinguished as Manning and Marti-
neau, upon very rare occasions, ii may
be, by Gladstone, Browning and, l
rather think, once or twice by Tenny-
son himself. The extraordinary mag
netism exercised by Martineau over his
personal following was perceptible in
his manner with casual acquaintance.
AS such, 1t was realized very many
years ago by the present writer when,
as an exceedingly young man fresh
from college, he was concerned in pre-
pairing some examination questions, in
which his venerable seniors, Maurice
and Martineau, with one of two more,
were to have a voice.-T. II. S. Escott

A JEWEL OF A SERVANT.
Boys Tact and Discretion Endeared
Him to Club Members

Speaking of the Importance of hav-
ing servants OF trained discretion, :"
said the out-of-town member, reminds
me OF hallboy. once in the employ
of a famous New Orleans club to
which | had the honor TO belong
We'll, gentlemen, that boy was tact
and discretion itself Wherefore. you
may be sure, he did not long remain
in that humble status. An instance
which have in mind-and this is but
one of many-will suffice TO give you
an idea of what jewel of a servant
that boy was.
"One evening while passing down
the hall | overheard the boy answer
ing a phone call. OF course, | could
not know precisely what questions
prompted the lads responses, but
caught enough of his conversation to
enable me to reach the decision that
for real discretion that boy was I'M
approached in his line.
No, madam, no, madam was the
reply that his questioner ELECTED from
him several times. Then, after bit,
with not the least trace of impatience
or of impertinence, the lad quietly in
formed the lady at the other end Of
the wire
Yes, madam, | caught the name;
but really even if I had not done so
1t would not make any difference, for,
ma am, no ones husband is ever at
this club"

DEMOCRATS find fault with the repub-
lican national platform because so much
of it is given up to recounting the
achievements of the party. We believe
that criticism cannot be passed on the
democratic national platform. The de-
mocracy wisely leaves it to the republi-
cans to review that party's record.
There's not much in 1T to promote popu-
lar enthusiasm for the democratic ticket

An extraordinary effect of lightning
Is reported from Lake Grandlieu, in
the Nantes region. A violent tempest
burst over the lake, with vivid light
ming and thunder. a number Of boats
were on the lake, and while they were
hurrying to bank there was tremen-
dous peal of thunder. Almost imme-
diately there fell among the boats the
dead bodies of large flock Of wild
ducks, some Of them roasted to a nice
ty, and some charred to a cinder.
Roast duck cooked by lightning reads
like a novelty, even in the freaks of
meteorology. If it could only be adapt
ed to the 'quick lunch" system!

Though he's not man TO trust

Though il isn't any good.
Let us grid ourselves for battle
But hope we cannot win
Let us pray TO be successful,
Though success would be a sin;
Let us give the peoples banner
Unto him TO nobly bear,
But it's dangerous 10 do II,
For he isn't on the square.
Let us wave our hats for Parker,

THE democrats talk good deal about
primary REFORM" and nominations di-
rect by the people, but the action of the
Cass county democracy shows their sin
cerity. A few of the leaders got together
at Cassopolis and named the delegation
to the state convention, without even
the formality of calling a county conven-
ton. There's nothing like getting "close

pADEN CITY WILL
SOON MAKE GOOD

a short time under the manage
ment of a stock company. There
are only four factories in the Uni
ted States which manufacture
the opalescent glass. The glass
is used principally for church
windows. The window glass fac
tory, which did not get beyond
the foundation piers, is also un-
dergoing a reorganization of in
terests with the outlook good for
it's completion.
A number of houses for the
army of vorkingmen who will ar
rive during the next few months,
are completed and contracts are
being prepared for the erection
of many more. The hotel has
been reopened by W. E. Seal, the
well-known tailor of this city,
and he is doing a good business.
There seems to be nothing In
the way of the ultimate success
of the enterprise. The embry"
town has the advantages OF an
ideal location, the ownership OF
natural gas plant which $4,000
was paid in cash, and one of the
best harbors along the Ohio
river. The success of the town
could be of great benefit to the
interests of Sistersville and New
Martinsville, and the people OF
the two towns are naturally Jub-
liant over the favorable turn Id
the affairs of Paden City.
Let the good work go on!

This was an ideal election day
and from all indications a large
vote will be polled in this city
and throughout the county. The
Oil Exchange, banks, saloons and
a number of business Offices were
closed for the day. Quite a mum.
Der of the employees hustled
around this morning, voted early
and then started for the woods
to spend the day hunting.
The greatest interest manifest
ed in this city and county IN the
election is over the contest for
Sheriff. At the two voting pre-
cincts here and the one in Gerry
Owen a goodly number of COM
mitteemen and party workers
have been in evidence during the
entire day, all putting in their
best Ecks for their respective can
didates. The Prohibitionists of
this county are also working hard
for their ticket, and there IS no
doubt but that they will make a
remarkable showing.
At the voting precincts in this
city a good natured rivalry has
existed through the day, and so
far as we have been able to
learn the campaign has been con-
Quoted honorably. Hence, the
candidates who shall be defeated
can console themselves with the

Not twenty miles from Wheel

cured. one of the worst oil well
horrors in the history of Penn
sylvania oil developments. A
well. just shot, threw an I'M
mense volume Of oil and gas into
the air.
This ignited from hot embers
under the boiler, causing a lire
that entailed property loss OF
$4,000 and cost two lives.
Paul Gillespy, drif1er, of But
Ter county, Pennsylvania, was
working in the derrick and was
roasted alive, the only portion OF
his remains found being his head
and part of the shoulders. Sam
uel Gallagher, a short distance
from the well, was caught IN the
burning shower, and with his
clothing a mass of flames man
aged to roll on the ground out
of the fire district. He was hor-
ribly burned when assistance ar
rived and will die. The gas when
it shot from the well made a
noise that could be heard a great
distance, while the resulting e1-
plosion could be heard for miles.
The well was No. Z on the
Greenleaf lease, and was drilled
by LaConte & Dulcey Oil COM
