Mr.. ED1ToR.-You hit the nail
on the head last week when you said
that town hall would be mere
convenience to a few, while the
sum that it would cost, be it much
or little, would be much more use
full expended for sewerage a IL d
paving, which would be of every
day benefit to the many. The fact
is that a people or government
that is guided by the rule of "the
greatest good to the greatest mum
ber" makes comparatively few
mistakes, just as the man who
follows the Golden Rule is apt to
be on the right side every time.
Both are very simple rules, but
they can't be improved upon.
FAIR PLAY.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that in
fiict more torture than rheuma-
tism, and there is propably no
disease for which such a varied
and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it
can be cured is, therefore, a bold
statement to make, but Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, which enjoys
an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment of
this disease. One application of
Pain Balm will relieve the pain,
and hundreds of sufferers have
testified to permanent cures by
it's use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief
and costs but a trife? For sale

Solid VestibuIe Train
! on Short Line R. R.

There is a quiet rumor in rail-
road circles that tht Baltimore &
Ohio Raiload company will put
on solid vestibule train ON the
Short Line, and will make it a
through train. There has been
some talk along this line for some
time, and it is now generally be-
lieved that these intentions will
be carried out. This will be done
in order to compete with the Wa
bash railroad, and will bring
Pittsburg two hours closer to
points on the main line. Ii the
company decides to put on a YES
thule train this will mean that
New Martinsville will cease to be
the terminus of the Short Line,
but that Pttsburg will bG the
end of the line. The traffic has
been so heavy over the Short
Line that the railroad officials
made an inspection trip over the
road and it is now believed that
all through trains from Washing,
ton and other points in the East
for Pittsburg will be sent over
the Short Line.

Some Novel Shapes In Hats.

to speak OF hats. The subJect requires
a volume with sequel. so will say
but few words about the latest
styles. This year women have so much
latitude that every one can wear what
she likes and still be In fahhlon. The
funny but becoming little Tommy At
klns hat. sometimes called pill box, Is
one OF the nattiest. The continental
comes next, followed by any number
OF toques, turbans, chic sailors made Of
milan braid, chip or silk braid plateau
shapes. which set us wondering how
they hold on, and no end OF tip tilted,
side elevated and bent brins, with so
many flowers that the wcarers look
overloaded. Roses In b1nches, In
wreaths and in every conceivable man
ner are seen, and they are marked by
wonderful perfection. There are pla-
teaux Of lace straw in single and also
mixed colOrs, and all are pretty. The
turbans seem rather better adapted to

lsS7-but only one Of these was an In
ternational race. In the first race three
yachts participated, In the others two.
There are about dozen entries In the
race for the kaiser's cup, and three ma.
tons are represented-Germany, Eng
land and the United States. 1t will be

craftsmanship of the respective ma
tions. England will be represented by
the Sunbeam, owned by Lord Brassey
OF the Royal Yacht squadron. and the
Valhalla, owned by the Earl of Craw-
ford. also of the Royal Yacht squadron,
The first Is a schooner and the second
full rugged ship. The Sunbeam has
voyaged all over the world, and Lady
Brassey has written book about the
journeys, The Valhalla, which was
once owned by Anna Gould's husband,
the Count Boni de Castellane, is ves-
sci Of 1900 tons and 237 feet in length.
She is elegantly equipped and has par
ticipated in many contests.
The yacht which the German emperor
would like TO see win the cup Is the
Hamburg. She Is owned by a syndi-
cate OF 200 German yachtsmen, headed
by Herr Ballin, director general OF the
Hamburg American line. Two years
ago she beat the kaiscr's own yacht, the
Meteor. The Hamburg was designed
by the famous English builder, George
l.. Watson. The American yachts en-
tered are all well known for their speed
and include the Atlantic, Apache, Uto-
wanna, Endymlon, Aisa, Hildegarde,
Thistle and Fleur-de-Lys.
