Chfohlcle GrantsVllle, w. Va.
Having remained quiet for some
time, I come again to let YOU know
that we are alive. This part of
Kansas as well as Oklahoma, is on a
boom, and things are lively here.
As many of you know when a town
starts to build here and has rail.
road company to back it up, it
grows just as the railroad company
wants it to. Such place is Engle-
wood, situated in the center of what
Was n large cattle ranch of several
thousand acres of fertile prairie, but
now cut up into farms agi many of
them sold. 1t looks 80 AZ Fastener
like the town must build up, and
the general opinion Is that it will,
get it may stop at any time. Such
things often happen here. But
from what | can see. there could not
be finer location for a town or city
anywhere. Yet there are those who
continue to fight it on all sides,
The weather here through March
was fine, but April has been cold.
We had one snow here this month
and today we are having a cold rain.
But the tanners arc rejoicing as
they say it insmes n good wheat
and corn crop.
Vacant land shat is of any value
is thing of the past in this part of
the West. One great drawback to
this part of the country is the cost
of building material, and many are
using cement stone in preference TO
wood. Thir,y-fye and forty dollars
thousand is not an uncommon
price for lumber I asked the price
of yellow poplar, and was told that
it would cost me eighty dollars
thousand, and white oak " ould cost
eighty-fye, while pine costs from
twenty-five to forty, owing to the
quality. These prices look big to
me when ] think Of the vast amount
Of TIMBER going to waste IN my old
home county. And another strange
thing to me is, their cross ties here
are mostly pine, and are so rotten
that they will not hold the spikes.
There is a hundred and twenty
miles Of road between here and my
home that / do not think there are
enough good ties ON it to build
twenty miles of road Yet thov
Lave mo bad accidents, as there are
no short curves or siding roads.
But such roads rs they have here
would not do in West Virginia.
So far as good railroads arc concern
ec West Virginia lis far iu advance
of the West Railroad building is
at at q standstill here just now.
/ Tt is supposed tn be bluff the
roads want to rum on "Uncie Sam."

OuCu DGduIN Is uOJ OF the lOJal
sort of which byron writes so tartly,
but of the SORT that is most satisfy
ing and efiicient-the sort that new
or becomes commonplace, nor loses
ITS charms,
This sort of beauty can hardly be
shown in newspaper cuts, nor ev,n
on canvas, nor photo plate, for it
does not consist in lines but rather
of the spirit that shows between the
lines, radiates from the coumenance
and manifests itself in manners and
bearing.
IT is the beauty that shows
through that appeals to men Of
sdnse and taste, and not that which
/ IS worn as a garment, and may hide
grieyous defects.
Not a few of those who have
married physical beauties have
found that behind the thin veneer
were many defects more or less ia
tal to comfort and happiness. That
the wearers of these .veneers were
conscious Of the fact they were de-
ceixers can hardly be doubted in
any case, because they wore them
for the express purpose Of making
themselves appear more beautiful
than they really were.
Such Is fatal beauty
There are types Of beauty, but no
standard save those in the minds
of beholdcrs. The type that pleas
es one may not please another, may
even be repuloiye or at least often
siye.
Fortunate it is that this is so, for
it 1T were not there could hardly be
stable love. And fortunate too, it
is, that love sees beyond external
appearances Love is in the heart
rnd not in the eye, therefore it is
said to be bind, and beauty is only
the lufe that brings the object to
the mine, where the heart may frd
it.

InocuIating an Empress.

In the article on physicians fees which the Companion published not long ago, there was mention of the fee paid to Dr. Dimsdale of London for in- oculating Catherine II. of Russia The writer said that the fee of S50,00O, in addition to travelling expenses and life pension, was large for such an easy operation. A correspondent sends tn doctors side of the story, as 1t was related by one of his friends It ap- pears that the operation was the least of his troubles, and that he earned the money.
 Dr. Dimsdale did not want to inocu- late the empress, for he was afraid of what might happen. Inoculation meant giving the patient smallpox in a mild form, and sometimes it took violent form instead, and the patient died If this should happen with the empress, Dr. Dimsdale was afraid the Russian authorities would hold him responsible However Catherine insisted, and gave the doctora signed statement that whatever happened she guaranteed that he should be held guiltless. Then, with many misgivings, Dr. Dimsdale inoculated her.
 It went badly with the empress, who soon became i'll. As soon as she was delirious, theauthorities arrested Dr. Dimsdale, charging that he was plot ting the death of the empress They paid no regard to his paper nor to his remonstrances, and the only point on which they seemed doubtful was whether they should put him to death at once. or wait to see what happened to the empress.
 Then Dr. Dmsdale tried another line of argument, "Of course," said he, you can imprison me or put me to dontb hut if dO will kill the empress as well as me. I am the only treat her, and unless I can watch her closely. and do what she needs, she will certainly die"
 Even Russian officials could not fail to see the force of this, so the doctor was told he might see the empress whenever he thought it necessary. Meanwhile he was ect in close con fnemnt, and taken back and forth from Catherines room under guard And all the while he knew that if he did not save the empress. death was waiting for him, too.
 At last the empress began to recover. | When she recovered her senses she was very angry at the way the doctor hal been treated. She did everything she could to make it up to him. She paid him. besides the fee of $50000, $10,10C
 more for travelling expenses, made him baron, settled an annuity of $2,- 500 on him and promised him all sorts l of good things if he would remain In Russia and become her physician.
 But Dr. Dimsdale declined Taking charge of an empress was too anxious matter. and he wanted to get back to a practice among private people, where
 he would not be in danger of sharing | his patients fate so closely. So he went back to England.
 Catherine always remembered him
 kindly, and when few years later, he
 married, she sent him a set of beauti- | full china.

ARREST IN MARVIN CASE.

Deckhand on Steamboat Suspected of
 Knowing of Boys Death or Disap-
 pearance.
 Dover, Del, April A.-FTank H. But Ter, employed as a deckhand on the steamboat John P. Wilson, was taken into custody today and held for a hearing tomorrow, charged with the murder of Horace N. Marvin, the four year old son of Dr. Marvin, whose dis appearance on March 4 aroused the en- tire country, The theory of the detec- tives responsible for the arrest is that the boy was murdered or accidentally killed, and that Butler knows some thing about the case. Butler was ar rested when the steamboat was landing at Bowers Beach, Del, detectives hav- ing boarded the boat at Philadelphia in order to take Butler into custody when the vessel reached Delaware waters. Butler denies knowledge of the disap- pearance of the child and reiterates that the boy was sitting on haystack on the Marvin farm when he and sev- eral other men who were moving the effects of theformer owner of the land left the place.
 The arrest of Butler was made prin- cipally upon a statement given to the detectives by man named Caldwell, who was working with Butler the day the child disappeared. Butler, he says, was ordered to go to the barn and load up fheat screenings in bags. This he did, and when Caldwell later entered the barn he found that Butler hoad loaded three bags into a wagon and a fourth was lying on the floor of the barn. Caldwell says he lifted this bag into the wagon himself and found it heavy, although Butler had said 1t was filled with corks such as are used by fishermen for nets. This bag, Caldwell says, disappeared. Acting on the the- ory that this bag contained the body of the child, the detectives decided to charge Butler with murder.
 Providence, April 24.A possible clue to the whereabouts of Horace N. Mar win, jr., the missing four-year-old son of pr. Horace Marvin, of Delaware, was contained in a letter received to- day by George w. Gardiner, collector of the port of Providence. The letter was addressed to Fed, Govt" and was as follows:
 Fed. Govt. Rhode Island:
 "sirs-I believe I have found the Mar win child Now connect with me al Plattsville by wire.
 (Signed) "W. H. Whinner
 '151 So 9th Avenue, Plattsville,"
 The envelope was postmarked al Plattsville, Wis, and dated April 22 Collector Gardiner has no idea why tho letter should have been addressed tC Providence. The police have begun ar investigation.

THE sULrANs REBUKE

An Ambassador of a well-known European manarch was riding in the streets of Constantinople, when one of the Sultan's carriages rolled by, says The New York Times. Seeing it was guarded, his curiosity got the better of him, and when the carriage reached him he was daring enough to peep in at the passenger.
 He was surprised and pained to re- oeive a blow in the face from an at tendant in charge. Mad with rage he demanded an audience of the Sultan.
 The Sultan listened attentively, and for a moment appeared lost in thought At last he spoke My dear, I have gene carefully into the case and see exactly how it stands. You are of co urse, 8 gentleman. Therefore you would never have committed such a breach of good manners as you allege to have taken place. Therefore no at tendant could possibly have struck youl The whole affair seems to be a product of your fancy. Let us dis miss it

TRAVELLERS.
STATE LEAGUE OPENS.
Rock To-day.

The opening game of the state league will be at Savin Rock grounds this af- ternoon. Hartford will be the attrac- tion. The New Haven team have play ed several preliminary games andhave won all of them, and prospects for a good season are particularly high.
 Billy Hayward will act as captain and cover his old position at third base, which he has very satisfactorily filled since he began his playing with the New Haven leaguers. Hayward's pol icy will no doubt be the same as usual, that is to keep all of last years players and fill Hannifin's position at short and and Burke's in left field. The latter man will not be hard to replace, but the equal of Hannifin Is undoubtedly under cover.
 Wade who is now filling Burke's old place was used last year as q general utility man. He was 6 good batter end a good fielder and ii he shows his oli traits almost an equal of Burke Will have been found.
 Murpky, New JIa ;en man, seems to have the choice of ah1rist)p, and ac- cordlng to Captain Hayward may ill time follow in Hannifin's steps. Jope will do tEe brunt of the catching. Jaok Bunyan will cover the initial bag, Frank Fitzgerald will hold down the second station.
 In the field will be Jerry Cornell, Kid Sherwood and Wade.
 With this organization New Haven ought to start off and finish the sea son at the top of the list. Win to-day game boys and get a good start!

"QUIcEn A BRITISH PLAGUE.
Wood Pigeons Are Called So by English
 Country Folk.


 "As two or more grouse are some times (and not incorrectly dubbed grice Compare mouse and, mice;) so, in the West Midlands, says 0The London Globe country folk colloquially speak of wood pigeons, or cushats, or quists, as "quice.' And in the district in ques- tion Gas elsewhere in beautiful Britain) these birds are so plenteous as to con- stitute a veritable plague Indeed, there are found regions, betwixt Severn and Wye, wherein no tiller of the rich, ripe soil either cares or dares to SOW peas-by reason of the quice. But the farmers poison is the shooters food. Quists, though wondrous wary, are shootable. And the shooting of wood pigeons is varied and comprehensive. The birds are to be Silled-or, at least, fired at-with rife and shotgun. They are to be sniped, stalked,, combatted in masses, ambused and battued. Very pleasing to the palate, too, are they, at certain seasons of the year; but that is beside the mark. When peas and pigeons encounter, it is bad for the peas; but the pea planters standpoint is not the only one. Cushats, ring doves wood pigeons, quists, quests, or "quice," increase yearly in consequence of the destruction of their natural ene- mics, the various members of the hawk tribe
 Only tho other day an intelligent gamekeeper shot a quist and opened it's crop, or craw (which is the first stomach of fowls,) to see what was contained therein. This convenient and comprehensive receptacle was right full of wild mustard and ragweed seeds most mischievous and ineradicable weeds. Fancy the amount of these per nicious seeds consumed by flock of a hundred, five hundred, thousand, ten thousand woodpigeonsl Again, the quist feeds also on friut of all kinds, l including the wild berries, such as TO- wan, holly and ivy; and in game pre- serves cusats are certainly of much use, both in affording to vermin a more con- spicuous and more fancied food than either grouse pheasant or partridge, and in taking the attention of the larger hawks from the game, In one of the most beautiful and irregular parts of England there lies, in the valley of a noble river, between lofty hills, a large estate which is infested with wood- pigeons, insomuch that no farmer dare plant a field of peas. During summer 4autumn and winter these birds may bt thinned, to an unappreciable extent
