HOLSTERS" Los. !sheir Prestige and
May Il Well Seek
Other Beds.
tBy Staff Correspondent.)


CHARLESTON, Feb. 19-From
now until the end of the session,
which is only three days, there is a
feeling that matters will go much
smoother than they have been for
the past couple of weeks. and that
something will be accomplished by
the solons who have done so little
up to this time. 1t is stated upon
pretty good authority that an agree
ment has been reached between the
ants and the administration forces
in the house by which, on account OF
concessions made by both sides.
needed legislation will not be held up
any longer but that from now until
the end of the session everything
possible, that is considered good. will
be rushed through.
The session has been a great drag
to everybody connected with 1t and
while some have been doing hard
fighting. and others have done moth
ing. they are all tired and willing to
leave for home at the earliest pos
sible moment. There is little doubt
but that this feeling has had some
thing to do with an agreement being
reached. as 1t had come to be pref
ty well accepted fact that unless the
work was done as 1t should be there
would be an extra session. possibly
called to meet the next day after the
present one closed.
That some OF the lobbyists who
have been here during the session
have killed themselves, as far as
usefulness in this line is concerned
Is certainty and at the next session
or possibly at the extra session there
will probably be new set OF faces
in the third house. This is especial
ly true as far as the railroad lobby
lists are concerned. There is a set
of men here looking after the inter-
ests of the railroad that is bold
beyond comprehension 10 the out
side people and some OF them have
gone to such lengths that they have
been ordered out of the house and
senate chambers on several occasions
and two or three have been told
they need not come back as they
would not be permitted on the floor
of either house. The HOLSTERS"
have been particularly obnoxious
this session and some action against
them for the future would not come
as surprise.
There has been some fearful and
wonderful politics played this ses-
sion of the legislature, some OF
which will land the people playing
on top of the heap. perhaps. while
on the other hand some will go to the
bottom of the scrap pile. Some of
the men in the house and senate
have made good records for them

The county commissioners should
officially notify the local traction
company to place substantial
guard railing or fence around the
platform of It's Clarksburg- Fairmont
interurban terminal. The county
had Glen Elk bridge in good shape
with adequate ratings on both
sides, all the way across until the
street car company got the privilege
Of running the interurban line upon
1t and ripped big slice of the
railing away. The platform the
traction company put up is practic-
ally unprotected by guard ratings
all the way around which makes a
much larger space unprotected than
the place from which the traction
company ripped the county's railing
away, The protection and safety of
the travelling public should not be
thus neglected.

Not long after she visited the Coroner
to tell of Manheimer's death another
woman called up the Coroner and said over

Manheimer and that the other was not.
She said she lived at ~ West Sixticth street

CHARY or WOUNDING FRANCE.
kSiser Very Diplomatic In Dealing with
the Orleans Marriage.


LONDON. Nov 3O.-The reason of the re-
cent visit OF Prince Won RadOlin, the German
Ambassador at Paris. to the Duke de Rohan.
ROyalist Deputy from MorbihaD, has just
leaked out.
When the German Emperor heard of the
betrothal of the Princess Louise Of Orleans
TO the Infante Charles of Bourbon his first
impulse was to be officially represented
at the wedding and to send a present. But
on reflection he decided that this might
give bad oppression in France. 40 he
abandoned the idea.
The Kaiser was represented unofficially,
and in order that the Duke Of Orleans might
not feel slighted he instructed Prince Won
Radolin to go and explain the matter to
the Duke de Rohan. The wedding present,
instead of being taken by the kaiser's
representative. was despatched in an or
dinary car to Wood Norton. When. how
ever. the Duke of Orleans received it he in
turn was divided between gratitude for
the delicate attention and fear lest il would
provoke comment in France.
In order TO settle the difficulty he de-
cided that the list Of the wedding presents
should not be communicated to the press.

story OS spanish Royal vSsIt Co Empress
Eugenle-Queen Mothers Fears.

NAuRuphhg-NlNAgNh NABNhhNHN
Special CaOls Despaach TO THE SUN.
LONDON, Nov. 90.--An interesting story
that Is in circulation in circles close to the
court is that one purpose Of the visit which
the King and Queen Of Spain recently made
to Eugenie, former Empress OF the French,
was the completion OF a deed Of gift from
the former Empress to the baby Prince Of
the Asturias, this gift to accumulate till
the Prince comes of age. when IL will amount
to large fortune. The Empress is anxious
TO render him independent Of any possible
dyDastic changes or revolutionary upheaval.
Another story concerning the baby Span
ish Prince which was widely circulated at
the beginning Of the royal visit to England
is again current in court circles and receives,
strange as IL may appear. considerable Gre
dence. The Queen Of Spain has not forgotten
the dastarCiIy act OF the anarchists on her
wedding day. So when the visit TO England
was arranged she despatched her beloved
baby two days ahead. safely and surrepti-
tiously in the care OF nurses and detectives
Then she and the King brought with them
apother baby. and II was only when Ken
sington Palace was reached that the de-
voted mother again clasped her own infant
in her arms.
Had the King and Queen been blown up
with the substitute baby the real one would
have had poor chance Of recognition. 1t
is easy to imagine the Carlist onslaught ON
such pretender. But mothers love did
not concern itself with this All she wanted
WAS to safeguard her child
As a sidehght ON this story it may be
mentioned that the baby which accompanied
the royal couple was constantly on show
in Paris and was extensively photographed
there in its nurses arms when the party
stopped there EN- route for England. No
body there seemed to think il was a bogus
