GAS SHORTAGE
IS NOW OVER

Many rumors have been afoat ~
sarding the gas situation at Nor
gantown. statements beng made
that the gas companies shut off The
supply at all the glass factories,
throwing the men out Of work and
causing the firms considerable loss.
The reports have been greatly exag-
gerated.
The rumor arose owing to Inc
fact that the gas companies hare
been supplying the Morgantown
glass plants with fuel at a low rate
and on the approach Of cold waath-
er the pressure naturally went down
10 some extent, and this was prob
ably seized as a pretexs by the gas
people In the endeavor 10 get a high
er rate per thousand feet from the
glass men. OF course it IS more
profitable for the gas people to sup
PLY private consumers, and when I
shortage lakes place they usually at
tempt to look out for number one.
In the Morgantown case it IS said
there is plenty of gas in the dis
trict, the shortage having been eaus-
ed by the gas company failing to
connect certain of their wells to the
line.
The W. R. Jones window glas:
plant did not lose any time another
did either of the flint glass plants
but it is said the Marilla window
factory lost few blowings owing to
the fact that the plant is located al
the end of the gas line. However
the trouble has been satisfactorily
adjusted and no further loss of time
is anticipated The Marilla ana
Jones plants have thus far made an
excellent run.

Thaw awaits his trial next month
for the killing of Stanford White,
with dread. Thaw has lost all the
cherry, complacent manner, which
he showed in the earlier days Of his

Ii a Bloody Battle
BABY DIED OF
BRAIN TROUBLE.

The infant baby of 5fr. and Sfrs.
Robert Mclaughlin, Of North
street. West End, who vas found
dead in bed Thursday morning, was
not crushed to death BY It's parents
in bed as was stated yesterday.
Brain trouble was the cause of the
little ones death, according % the
statement Of DR.. T. n. Hood, the
attending physician. who SAYS that
he did not give his opinion that the
baby was crashed 10 Death accident
ally BIZ It's parents
The blue marks on The child's
body were undoubtedly the result Of
the child lying on that side, caus-
ing the blood to settle near the sur
face OF the flesh which is usual
in-case of death. This gave ground
for the theory that the baby was
crushed to death.
The BODY of the child was taken
to Pennsboro Friday morning for
burial. Mr.. and Mrs. Mclaughlin
have the deep sympathy Of their
friends in their bereavement and It
is unfortunate the theory that the
baby was crushed o death in bed
should have been entertained The
loss of their child, 10 WHICH they
were very much attached, is enough
to weigh their minds without the
thought that it had been accidentally
crushed 10 death. The parents have
large number Of friends in the
community who express heartfelt
confidence over the child's death
and also regret the wrong impres-
sion about the cause Of the baby's
death.

lars Of DR.. Nutters drug store there
some time Wednesday night, but
they were unsuccessful in locating
them.
Tie burglars entered the store
and secured quite lot Of whiskey
and other drugs. The thieves en-
tered The store BY climbing through
stae transom over the door. There
were at least two Of them and proo7
ably more. The authorizes feel
sure that the crime was committed
BIZ some of heresidents Of the town.
Dr.. Nutter sent to Moundsville
for the famous bloodhounds of Cox
Bill Morrison and they arrived at
Enterprise in charge of Col. Nor
rison Just after noon Thusday- The
dogs were given the scent from the
aansom and followed The trail for
several hours about the streets Of
the town.
From the actions of the dogs it
seems clear that the men who robbed
the store are residents Of tie towa-
Col. Morrison is sure the men are
still in the town and feels that he
could have captured them had he moi
been compelled 10 give up the chase
because Of his extreme WEAKNESS
and because Of the fact that he had
no one to take charge of the dogs.

MORTGAGE IN A BALLOON.
Novel Manner In Which "a Church
Raised Its Debt.

AS small balloon recently rose from
the lawn of the' Church OF Our LadylOf
Good Counsel at Bryn Mawr. Pa it
took with it the last evidence of thejin-
debtedness OH the church property,
says the Philadelphia Press. The pas-
tor. Rev. j. j. Fedigan, and his congre-
CATION took that novel method of 'cele-
brating the paying off of a mortgage
of $4,000.
The mortgage wasiattached by accord
to the balloon. Just as the latter was
let loose the pastor touched a match to
the document. The balloon sailed up
into the sky with the blazing paper
trailing below. and 1he pastor and' con-
gregation joined in Il silent prayer of
thankfulnesS that their beautiful
church WAS at last free from debt.
Within three years the congregation
has paid off a debt Of $4,000 and has
expended another $4,000 in improve
ments to the grounds and edifice. 9th
er improvements of an extensive tchar-
acter are contemplated, but the pastor
says they will not be made until the
cash is in sight TO pay for them.

THE MARATHON RACE

won by Leavitt, after close race,
from Healey, OF England, and bunker,
"a German.
Just before the hurdles three bicycle
riders entered the Stadium covered
with dust and almost side by side.
They had ridden to Marathon and back
in the eighty-four kilometers race. All
three were Frenchmen. Meantime,
the standing high jump and the discus
throw in the Greek style had been GO
ing on, while the excitement OF the
spectators was vislbly increasing; and
when these events were over the crowd
sat in silent anticipation OF the en-
trance of the Marathon runner.
At last he came running down the
Stadium, with big Prince George OF
Crete running beside him. The crowd
applauded, although his nationality
was not yet known, but I'm n moment
he was seen to be the Canadian, Sher-
ring. He crossed the finish line, bowed
TO the king, and walked over TO the
exit, apparently fresh enough to run
several miles more. His time was
hours 81 minutes % 30 seconds, an
Improvement upon the hours 90 min
utes made by Loues In the Marathon
race ten years ago.
1t was a bitter disappointment to the
Greeks, but they applauded and wait
ed patiently for the second runner, who
came in almost seven minutes later
and proved TO be the Swede. SvanberG.
Five and a half minutes later came the
American, Franc. Still the crowd wait
ed, as one after another the runners
came in.
The first Greek to arrive came fifth.
Then they collected about Loues and
talked about the race of ten years ago.
There was the same feeling OF depres-
sion Ia Athens that night that one sees
in an American college when some
athletic team has lost an important
game which it was expected to win;
but the next morning this was gone.
and the people were determined 10 re-
gard their defeat as lesson TO be
profited by.
The victory Of Sherring was perfect
ly logical and we'll deserved. He came
to Athens about two months before the
games, studied the course carefully and
ran the race in scientific manner. A
victory was the natural result. He -
said To have stopped twenty times dur
ing the race and 10 have walked up all
the hills. Franc. the American, ran tho
whole distance without stopping.

OLD ENGLAND'S BOILED EGG
1t May Supplnnt Roast Beef as Result
of University Boat Race.


Far more than a mere athletic tri-
umph was the recent victory of the
light blue crew of Cambridge univer-
sity. 1t was the demonstration of a
great scientific principle that bids fair
to subvert the gustatory traditions of
a nation, says the New York Times.
Other crews have won on form or for
tune. 1t remained for the light blue
crew of 1906 to owe their laurels to
the common farm yard egg.
On eggs they were trained-raw eggs.
poached eggs, eggs boiled soft and
eggs as hard as rocks, scrambled eggs.
fried eggs. eggs beaten up In milk and
eggs turned into omelets. Every re-
source of the culinary artist was called
into request. and in the strength of
those eggs they rowed oxford to a
standstill
When first people heard that every
cantab polished off four eggs for
breakfast they laughed When they
were told that five dozen eggs were
consumed by the crew each day they
sneered, but one or two sensational
performances in practice made them
sit up and take notice.
Then the historians of the turf de
clared that to eggs Birmingham owed
in 1880 his victory in the St Leger
over Priam. the Derby winner. and the
scientists came forward with uncanny
calculations of how much albumen.
proteids and other things that people
eat without knowing Ii an egg con
talns The London restaurants began
to feel the change. No one would take
his breakfast, his luncheon or his din
ner without an egg, and egg tiips. egg
nogg and every other drink with an
egg to its name became the rage.
The country was secured in all di
rections for eggs. From Brittany. Den
mark and other countries came eggs in
countless thousands. But still the de-
mand is increasing. and with the vic
tory of Cambridge it is confidently ex-
pected that the boiled egg of old Eng
land has come to stay.

The interest manifested by the
Greeks on the first days of the recent
great Olympic games ut Athens did not
abate as they approached their end,
says w. y. Bates. director OF the
American school ut Athens, in the In-
dependent. Day after day 10000 peo-
pie filed the Stadium and covered the
hill ArdcttuS above il.
When the day of the Marathon race
arrived not merely were all the seats
taken. but every foot of the balus-
trades in front Of the seats. both above
and below, ANA even the top OF the
wall high above the other spectators
was lined with men Be :ides this, Ar
dettus and the high land 10 the south
Of the Stadium were closely packed
with an enormUIs crowd Even then
there were thousands VINO could not
see the finish OF the race. and they
lined HerOdeS AtticuS street and Ce-
phisia road on both sides for five miles
or more. eager 10 welcome the winner
as he approached the Stadium.
1t is hard for the foreigner 10 under
stand how intense the feeling OF the
Greeks was about this race They
seemed 10 think that the reputation OF
their country was al stake and that as
a matter OF national pride they must
win it,
For days before the race groups OF
men could he found almost anywhere
discussing the probable outcome Many
Greek runners had been in training for
it, and when their NATIONAL games were
held, early in April. seYenty-five men
entered for the Mara thon race, and
thirty-tw-o actually finished. or these
the first fifteen came within ten min
utes of the winner, and the time. in
spite of rain. was only about six min
utes behind the record. 1t was not sur
prising, therefore. that thirty-three
Greeks entered for the Marathon race
in the Olympic games.
AT the last moment a young deacon,
who said he could make the distance in
two hours. came forward and wished
10 run. The metropolitan. thinking this
declined 10 let him run:
but he declared he would run IN his
canOnicai robes. and actually went out
TO Marathon and lined up for the start
The committee. however, would not
accept his entry.
The race was started at 9 o'clock.
and while the runners were toiling over
the hot and dusty road other events
We're being decided in the Stadium.
First came the finals in the 800 meters
race, the half mile. in which the Ameri-
can runners, Pilgrim and Lightbody.
finished just ahead of Halswell, OF
England. Then the hurdles followed,
