Value of Newspaper Files

The city of Cleveland wants an ar
ticle which appeared in a newspaper
between 1885 and 1874 to establish Its
claim to a certain piece of property,
the article in question having been
written by a lawyer and being a COM
plete statement of a lawsuit over this
property in which the city was defend
ant. Municipalities may some day
wake up to the importance of the his
tory contained in newspapers, which
are now printed on p%erishable wood
pulp. Some of the money which is
spent with such prodigality might be
we'll devoted to providing for a few
copies of every issue of newspapers to
be printed on durable paper and kept.

wealth to provide durable files ofnews-

tage than in some of the vagaries which

Unluckiness seems to be confined to

that this Idea is held outside this eoun-

many various auses may have led to
the belief. which possibly arose In com
paratively modern times no earlier
than the crusades. Nothing is more
probable than that several crusaders
brought home the gorgeous feathers as

is easier to conceive than that some
misfortune-death from disease. loss Of

ROSE WANTS REVENGE.
Had His Wife Arrested for Living
With Another Man.

Rose Pritchard, the colored man
whose wife left him several weeks
ago and went to Shepherdstown with
her son-in-law, Sol Jackson, swore out
warrant before Mayor Harrison OF.
Saturday night charging his wife and
a colored man named Jim Queen with
Illicit relations. The officers went to
the home of Queen, on Madison av-
enue, and found both the man and
woman there. They were locked up
at police station to- await trial. It
appears that Roses wife, who Rose
says is a fine worker, returned to Mar,
tinsburg a week ago, and was offered
a job of cook by Queen. Rose hearo
of this, and smarting under the sting
of his wife's destrtion, swore out the
warrant for the arrest of both.
The mayor, however, did not see
enough evidence in sight at the trial
to warrant him in holding the couple,
and they were dismissed from custody,
much to the chagrin of Rose.
