THE WALLACE LIBRARY.
MAGNIFICENT GIFT To
THE CITY

One item of the win OF the late
Capt. c. Wistar Wallace shows how
much attached he was to the home
OF bis birth and life and those of his
townsmen, present and future. We
refer to the generous legacy 70 the
town of 81 5000 for the erection OF a
library and supply it with books.
This magnificent gift will be high
ly appreciated by our citizens. not
only for the good it will prove to the
present generation, but because OF
the heightened gentleman, the patri-
otto soldier, the philosophical citi-
zen and the transformations Christian
who bestowed it as a legacy to the
city.
This will be the beginning OF the
formation of library that will
p-ove "A great blessing to the public
fIr the future, and it is a pleasure
t. know that it is started by one
whom we all knew and loved. and a
pride to know that it is to bear the
n lme of the gentleman whose means
iaaugurated 1.-THE wallace Ii
brary."
Public libraries are becoming a
real necessity in these days rs public
schools have been and are now to ed
ucate all the children that they may
bscome intelligent and useful citizens.
Those who have passed through the
schools and have not the means to
20 further will find in the public IL
braries the very food their minds
need for important information to
qualify them for any business orcall-
ing. Ii is necessary, therefore, that
every city or town should have a
public library, and blessed is he that
provides one, and blessed are those
for whom such a vast amount OF
knowledge is provided for them. that
they may drink it in at will. thus
preparing themselves for greater
usefulness.

win the fight. bscause there has al

only question before the court was
the demurrer. Chief Justice Fuller.
who delivered tho opinion of the

"When this court has aScertaincd

GINA to pay. it is rot to be presum-
Ell on demurrer that West Virginia

OF this court. II such reputation
should be absolutely asserted we
will then consider by what means the
decree may be enforced.
1t is. however. further insisted
that this court cannot proceed TO
Judgment because OF an alleged com
pact entered into between Virginia
and West Virginia, with the consent
of Congress. by which the question
OF the liability of Virginia TO West
Virginiawas submitted TO the a-bitra-
ment and award of the Legislature
OF West Virginia as the sole tribunal
which could pass upon it. The Cor
stitution of West Virginia when adj
mitted into the Union contained be
provision:
An equitable proportion OF the
public debt OF the Commonwealth a
Virginia prior to the first day of
January, 1861. shall be assumed by
this State and the Legislature shal.
a scertain the same as soon "a NAV
be practicable and provide for the
liquidation of the same by "a sinking
fund and redeem the principal within
81 years.
Reading the Virginia ordinance
and the West Virginia constitutional
provision, it followed that what was
meant by the expression that the
Legislature shall ascertain was that
the legislature should ascertain "a
soon as practicable the result of the
pursuit Of the method prescribed and
provide for the liquidation of the
amount so asceriained. And il NAV
be well inquired why in the AZ years
that have elapsed since the alleged
compact was entered into. West Nir-
ginia has never indicated that she
stood upon such compact. and. if
SO, why no step has ever been taken
by West Virginia to enter upon the
performance OF the duty which such
compact imposed and to notify
Virginia that she was ready and
willing TO discharge such duty"

PUT TAX ON BACHELORS.

Harsh on Those UnWed.

Although much has been written IN
modern times in earnest and in fun
on the taxation Of bachelors, there are
not many corners Of the earth where
such a system Of taxation is intro
duced as was done in the state OF sor-
doba, in the Argentine republic, at the
beginning Of the twentieth century
There every male who has passed his
twentieth year is considered tit Tor
marriage and the state enjoins upon
him the duty of finding a companion
for life. If he remains single till the
completion of his thrtieth birthday
lie must pay for his freedom q tax Of
five dollars q month. llen The tax IN
grasses $40 n-nonth at the age OF 80,
and even to $50 a month from the age
of 35 to so. From the age of SO the
tax gradually decreases. WidoWers
have only three years given to enjoy
their liberty, after which they have
got to get another wife or pay the tax

A Young hunters Experiences.

A good, but true story is told
at the expense of Louie Kruek, an
employe at the Amigo postoffice.
Louie spent several days on the
Deerskin with Steve Van Bussum
and Otto Molle of Amigo, and as
this was Louie'S first trip in the
brush, he was timid. The story
goes to say that he got lost about
twenty rods from camp before
breakfast and it took him three
hours to find his way back 20 the
camp. On another occasion Louie
was 10 the brush watching on a
runway, when Steve barked like
wolf, and Louie ran a mile and
a half to camp, thinking that
pack of wolves was after him.
Louie started to walk to Monico
Tuesday, in his hurry to get back
home.

Cleaning and Renewing Furs.

ust at this time many owners
of furs are receiving them from
the summer storage and finding
them dead looking and Iusterless
a condition in which even hand
some furs are not attractive.
This is usually due to the fact
that the fur is simply soiled, and
it may be cleaned and frightened
to remarkable extent by a sim
pie method, without the slightest
danger of injury to the article.
This is the method employ ed by
the Russians who are certainly the
most extensive users Of, and prob
ably the best informed on the sub
iect of turs of any nation.
Rye bran should be heated in
an iron or earthenware vessels, be-
ing stirred all the while, until it
has become as hot as is bearable to
the hand. The bran should then
be poured upon the fur in liberal
quantities and thoroughly rubbed
on. The fur should then be
brushed with clean brush or
shaken and pounded until al The
particles of bran have been re-
moved.
The result of this treatment will
be that all dark furs have regained
their freshness and luster, and
that white furs appear like new -
