A Victim of the Earthquake.

Word has been received of the death
of Mrs. Ellen Simonds Dexter, wife of
ID. Gilbert Dexter of San Francisco, at
her home in that city, as the result OF
exposure at the time of the earthquake
and fire of April Is. Her home was
filled with friends who had lost all,
and she cared for them to the last.
She had many friends in the east and
west, and her life had been especially
devoted to the service of others. Mrs.
Dexter attended Willard female SEM
mary, Troy, n. Y, and afterward was
preceptress of Milton female seminary,
Milton. Pa. She was the daughter OF
Deacon Asa Simonds of Peru, the
Youngest of the six sisters, all well
known among educators. Her death
occurred May 5. Fifty years ago,
February 6, 1856, she was married to
d. Gilbert Dexter. The golden wed.
ding was celebrated at their home and
by large gathering at the First Con-
gregational church in San Francisco.
1t was an occasion of pleasant and
genuine surprise. Mr.. Dexter was the
founder of the Cambridge Tribune,
Cambridge, Mass, and for many years
its editor and publisher.

THE OLD DEBT.


Because the State of Virginia had
bonded herself prior to the creation
Of West Virginia to the amount Of
thirty-three million dollars is no
reason why West Virginia should be
liable for any part of those bonds.
There is not evidence that West Vir-
ginia ever profted one cent from
those bond issues, which in fact
we're to cover indebtedness contract
cd for the benefit Of the Old Domin-
ion alone and not for any improve
ments in West Virginia, or that part
of the old state now West Virginia.
About the only thing the West yir-
ginia part of the Old Dominion en-
joyed, if such it might be called. was
to be a part of that state, and final
" it came to the point, .where that
privilege was without honor and cer-
ttainly not patriotic.
The people of West Virginia were
taxed and largely so on the princi-
pie of taxation without representa-
ton, though, of course, in form and
name, West Virginia sent some men
to the Legislature at Richmond. but
their experience in the main was
that there was but little in store for
their section of the state, although
they were men Of influence and
shrewd with political wisdom and
craftsmanship. Exhaustive efforts
did result in getting the foundation
for the insane asylum at Weston,
and some minor things. But were
these not all paid for several times
over BY the tax tribute to the state.
and at a time, when it was a burden
to pay taxes?
The claim is made that Virginia
at an early day began the construc-
ton of canals, roads and bridges to-
ward the Ohio to develop the part
now West Virginia, which, in face
Of the facts, is silly talk, or at least
such efforts, if made, did West Vir-
ginia practically no good. and in
truth, there was little real develop
ment until the national road and |
the Baltimore & Ohio penetrated the |
forests, scaled the mountains and |
wound down through the valleys.
Virginia did not bond herself for
these. Then, what did that state do |
toward the development Of West Viz
glnias Nothing, except what West
Virpinia paid for through taxation
and was justly entitled to.
Again, what reason is there in tbe
claim that while the old state was
principally an agricultural country.
West Virginia was known TO be rich
IN minerals and other resources
1t that time West Virginia was in
he main regarded as wilds, and
here was not general importance
attached to it as region rich and
'aluable IN natural resources. else
Why an hundred years before did
hey not penetrate the mountain for
sts with the great roads they now
ay they were planning to build?

proportion Of the debt was
