Pores Rarely Preach Sermons.

Preaching is greatly favored by the
new pope. and his sermons in st.
Marks have been a notable feature
Of his work in Venice. But as su-
preme Dontifr Plus X. is traditionally
debarred from occupying the pulpit.
In the last four centuries only one
sermon has been preached by pope.
and then merely as stop-gap. It
was Plus IN. who thus defied prece.
dent. On Jan. 13, 1897, Padre Ventura,
an eloquest friar, was to preach at the
Church Of Santa Andrea, where
large congregation assembled. But
the preacher did not appear, and the
people were about 20 go away dis
appointed when the belfry bell rang
cut and the pope entered the church.
To the amazemenl of all he proceeded
to the pulpit and delivered a sermon
was was pronounced "a simple. plain.
good discourse" In more than 300
years this is the only papel sermon.

SURVEY DEAR
Effort to Establish Lines to See wheth-
er Augusta County Can Be Is About
to Bankrupt Three Counties

Fairmont, w. Va, July 2l-The call
on the Marion county court to pay a
check of two hundred dollars, set that
body to figuring a little. Julius X
AIunroc, of Kingwood, was appointed by
establishing boundaries and determining
tine areas of Marion, Monongalia and
wetzeI counties. Two thousand dollars
were promised by the three counties az
follows: Marion, $500; AIonongalia
81 900. and Wetzel, $500.
A little investigation shows that the
money is about all gone and the survey
is only practically begun. Mr.. M4nroe
is making transit survey, employing
from fifteen to eighteen men. The
work has been going on for about forty
days and only about two thirds of the
line between Aononga1ia county and
Pennsylvania mas been established. The
average dnyis work seems to be about
a mile and u quarter.
AT that rate" prominent man this
morning said, 1T would break the three
counties up to complete the survey" a
compass survey seems to be what was
intended and fulfills NIL legal require
ments. A prominent surveyor says he
could do the entire job for twenty five
hundred dollars An effort is being
made today to have Mr.. Munroe come
to Fairmont 1T once to see what can be
dong in the matter. Wetzel county mas
refused to give any more money toward
the completion OF the work on the pres
ent basis and Marion viii give the mat

,SHORI AGE.
IN the Accounts Of a Wetzel County
Postmaster and Inspector Allen Re-
moves Him From Office.

Henry Dean, postmaster at Dakin
Wetzel county, this state, has been dis.
placed or removed from mis- official posi-.
tion by Post Office Inspector E. I. Al.
len. The removal took place July IS
Mr.. Allen Immediately upon removing
Mr.. Dean placed the office in charge OF
Deans sureties.
There Is shortage in Deans accounts
of 1000, the fun limit of his bond, and
the government demands of the sureties
full payment OF the amount, and VIII
proceed TO collect it, if 1t is not paid at
once.
Dakin is about 1--WE miles north Of
WiIeyville and in the center of an ex
tensive oil field, where many from Penn.
sylvania and other states are engaged
in oil operations. Two years ago the
Office, which was fourth class, was made
a money order office by the government
for the accommodation of these men
who sent much money home.
An investigation shows that Dean had
been stealing from tine government the
past few months. little at a time until
the amount reached $1,000. He appears
to have made an effort to be prepared
to make out case for himself, when
the government should learn of the
shortage, and so he reported that the
post office at Dallin was burglarized the
night of june and $773 taken. Tho
alleged burglary was thoroughly inves
tignted by Post Office Inspector Allcr
and found to be misrepresentation or
the part of Dakin.
Dcan will doubtless be prcseentcl te
the filll extent of the law. altanugn de.
finite steps have not yet been taken ir
that direction.

PUBLIC PARK
Court House Meadows Are to Become
Cement Walks Are Being Laid and
Rustic Seats VIII Be Ssa-
toned There.

For many years the court house
meadows have been fenced in and the
process of making hay has been indulged
in in due seasons In the winter time
the meadows have been bleak spots and
cheerless as one cares to see things,
But now this is all to be changed, the
county having yielded to the persuasion
the Telegram has been putting up from
year 10 year and Thursday Elliot & Win
c.hell began laying cement walks on
either side of the court house. extending
from the pavement in the rear of the
building 10 the front fence and thence
to the gates. 1t is the intention to
throw the gates open and make a park
ont OF the meadows. Rustic seats viii
be placed along these walks and other
provisions will be made to make it an
inviting place as a public park. There
is some talk of tearing the fences away
altogether but the court has not fully
decided on this.
