State.
The Norfolk and Western, the cnes.
apealSe and Ohio and the Baltimore

in the Development and improvement
Of their railroad lines in this State.
The United States Steel Co. has
spent some s10,oOo0oo in buying
Pccahontas lands, developing the
same and constructing coke ovens
and still has only recovered small
part Of the company's holdings with
Development work. Net Mcdowell
county, on account OF this and other
Developments in coal mining and
coke making, has advanced from a
wilderness within less than 10 years
to the most populous county in the
State with something between 10,
900 and 100000 population.
A Scranton crowd OF capitalists is
spending 100000 on the Kanaw-

THE ORIGIN OF VALENTINES.

Housekeeper.
A fact in natural history, to-wit,
that birds in southern Europe pair
about the middle of February, is said
to have inspired custom of the an
Client Romans, to which the origin
OF the modern valentine eau be trac.
ed. At the feast of Lupercalia, held
In honor OF the great god Pan. the
names of the virgin daughters of
Rome were put in box. and drawn
therefrom by the young men. Each
youth was bound to offer a gift TO
the maiden who fell to his lot, and
to make her his partner during the
time Of the feast. How this secular
custom became allied to the name
Of saint is altogether a different
matter. st. Valentine was bishop
OF Rome during the third century.
He is said to have been a man OF
very amiabfe nature, and most elo.
quent speech. wherefore he was very
successful in converting the pagan
Romans to Christianity. Marcus
Aurelius was then emperor, retent-
less prosecutor Of the Christians, and
by his order the bishop was behead.
ed. The date of his death was Feb.
ruary IA, go, A. D. We find the
statement In Archbishop wheatley's
illustrations of the Book OF Com
mon Prayer" that "st. Valentine was
man of admirable parts. and 40
famous for. his love and charity that
the custom Of choosing valentines
Upon his festival took It's rise from
thence" But probably the connec.
ton Of name is wholly due to CO,
Incidence Of date. When the saints
name was placed In the church cal.
endar, the day of his death was made
festival. to Offset that OF the Lup.
ercalia, on the 18th. In Allen But.
ler's Lives of the Saints" we read
that the Jealous Christian fathers
tried to substitute the names of
saints for those OF girls in the lottery
game, but without success. So the
valentine" custom spread from
Rome through Europe to Great Brit.
ain, always In high favor, and later,
in the form of sending tender mis-.
sives. came to America. and down to
the present time.

LAKE SHORE OFFICIALS

DISCOVER THAT OUT OF TWEEN
TY-FouR TRAINS. ONLY ONE
oREYs THE DANGER
SIGNAL.

CoNNEAUT, O., Feb. H. While
high officials of the Lake Shore rail-
way stood hidden near the company's
tracks here "a trains rushed past the
signal targets, the light Of which had
been turned out as warning that the
tracks were not clear. Only one train
out Of % which rushed through here
during the time the railroad officers
stood on watch obeyed the signal and
stopped.
Four passenger trains were includ-
ed in The list, and only two of these
even slackened speed. The other two
plunged past he traget with reckless
disregard of what might be in store
for them further along. AS result
OF this test 1t is expected number
OF train crews viii be dismissed.
Aroused by the criticisms heaped
upon tile railroads recently because of
the large number of wrecks, the Lake
Shore officers decided to make a test
on this division of their road. Out OF
the % trains which the officials noted
only one stopped to investigate what
was wrong, and this was freight.
The engine-driver was complimented,
and probably will be the only one to
retain his job.

TO enact no legislation hostile to the
forces at work for the development
of this State was the declaration
of one who has been closely In touch

ture now In session. and whose per-
aonal acquaintance with members o:
the Senate and House puts him in
position to form an accurate idea
Of the spirit and temper of the Leg.
isIature.
Some bills have been introduced
which have caused a little uneasiness
in the minds of those who are en-
gagged in the development Of the
state's resources, and have made
some investigations for the purpose
Of finding ont how much likelihood
there Is OF SUCH bills being enacted
into laws. In spite Of the fact that
a nat two;cent passenger rate bin
has passed the House and seems
likely to become law, against the
protests Of the raiiroads OF the State,
