MILLIONS MORE OF
STAE GAS GOING
HOPE COMPANY ADDS ANOTHER
GREAT DRAIN FROM ,
STATE.

NEW MARTINSVILLE, Nov. 25. =
Within another week the Hope Natur.
al Gas Company will commence the
pumping out OF the State OF millions
of cubic feet Of natural gas. The West
Virginia section OF the big eighteen
inch pipe line. the third largest in
the world, from Hastings, Wetzel
county, W. Va, to Cleveland, o., was
completed last week. and was con.
nected up with the Ohio section at
the river crossing at Welcome and the
gas turned on.
The gas had been on but a very
short time when the big main burst
near Welcome station and the gas
had to be turned OF until the two sec.
ton Of pipe could be taken out and
replaced by new ones. The gas was
again turned on Sunday morning and
has been on eyer since.
The mammoth gas line is now com.
pleted TO within a short distance OF
Cleveland. and remarkable progress
has beer made In its construction =
much faster than the company ex-
pected. The gas has been turned into
the line as far us completed, and an.
other week is expected to see the big
town on the lake lighted and heated
with Wetzel county gas.
Costly Work.
The laying Of this line was an I'M
mense undertaking, and the cost OF
its construction is estimated at from
$2.5OO,O0o to 100000. The line runs
from Hastings, where the largest gas
pumping station In the world is locat.
ed, which is one Of the sights of Wet.
eel county, to Cleveland. o. The line
crosses the river at Simms run. a short
distance above Darlington, and pro.
ceeds on the most direct line. The
pipe Tor the line was made at the Lo-
rain mills OF the National Tube Com.
pany. and was to cost something in
the neighborhood of $500, 900, while
the work of laying. shipping and haul
ing the pipe and the cost Of the right
Of way cost s1,5oO,oo0.
Several thousand men we're en-
ployed in the construction OF the line,
and work was started at both ends, In
order to complete the laying Of the
line in the shortest possible time.
Many towns OF West Virginia have al.
ready suffered from the effects Of pip
ing the gas out Of the State, and no
revenue is received by the State. The
piping Of the gas out Of the State has
worked incalcnlable Injury to the State
and to It's towns and cities, with II
seems, no possible remedy.

SURGERY TO SAVE HORSES.
New Operating Table Solves Many of
Its Difficulties.
From the Denver Republican.

From the Denver Republican
Inc remarkable advance in recent years
IN surgical apparatus Is not confined to the
regular hospital. In veterinary surgery the
modern methods also show a remarkable
Improvement over old-time methods. It is
due largely to American inventiveness that
all surgical operations upon horses have
been rendered not only much more humane
than ever before, but that the proportion
OF successful operations should have been
immensely increased. The success of such
operations is largely due to the use of an
operating table for horses, which is rapidly
coming into general use.
The contrivance used for holding horses
curing operations today is marvel of in
genuity. 1t Is called an operating table It
might, perhaps, with justice be called a
vice. The difficulties of such operations are
OF course obvious. That a horse is a vain
thlns LOT sa1ety Is, OF course, truism. The
new contr1vance makes it possible to place
horse in any position with the greatest
ease, at the same tihie holding him with a
vice-like rigidity. Not the least important
feature of this device is the saving of pain
to the horses. Whereas the old methods
We're unavoidably brutal and dangerous. the
operations today, with the aid of the oper-
ating tables, are much less dangerous.
When the horses are valuable it is, of
course, of the most Importance that they
should be treated with the least possible
risk of accident. Many horses have been
badly injured, even killed, by the old-tash-
Toned methods of operating. The new tables
make 1t impossible for a horse to struggle
and injure itself. 1t will, of course, be
readily understood how difficult is the work
Of tying down a spirited horse.
The most common, in fact the almost
universal, method of securing the horse
was by casting. This consisted in fastening
the animals four legs together with hob
bles and then throwing him on a heap of
straw. To this method there are many Sc
rious objections. Many cases of broken
back have occurred through the violent
struggles of the animal, the backbone some
times being literally crushed by the sudden
contraction Of the great muscles of the
back, and frequently spinal curvature has
been caused in the same way. Occasionally
the neck has been broken or the skull frac-
tured in the process Of casting.
Still another source of great danger lies in
the clouds of dust laden with microbes
which arise from the heap of straw when
the horse is thrown, and renders it impos-
conditions. Other difficulties frequently
arise, and the risks are such that most vet
erinarians before casting the horse consider
it their duty to warn the animals owner of
the risk about to be run.
The minor operations have indeed fire.
quently been attempted without casting or
/ chloroforming the horse. Such practices
are extremely dangerous, both to the opera
tor and his patient. The risk Of being Sc
riously kicked is very great while the haste
with which the surgeon has to work Is fatal
to the successful performance Of any deli
cate operation.

wallace F. Randolph of Edmund & Charles
Randolph said: "At the opening the market
was quiet and a little easier showing was
made. Lower London prices had some in
huence and professionals were evidently
waiting to see how the market would digest
stocks sold on the rally. At the close the
market was heavy and lower. Everybody
had expected poor bank statement, and it
came up to the worst anticipations.

nuctuate within narrow range for a while,
and l believe scalping operations will prove
profitable. The reaction will probably go
somewhat further, but l think coed stocks
should be bought on weak spots for turn
now"
Miller & Co. said: 1.-The reaction of Friday
was only natural as it was due after the
recent advance, but the failure of the mar
ket to rally further again yesterday is a
distinct disappointment to those who be-
iieved In the present prosperity and the
conservative side. Whether the market is
dIScount1ng a let-up in business each man
must judge; but 1t must be admitted that
as last resort the issue of short-time
notes by railroads, and especially the ac-
ton of the New York Central directors are
facts which are Indicative of q conserva-
tive attitude on the part of the railroads,
which can be considered as doing only such
work as is absolutely necessary in the near
future.
I'VE deduct therefrom that no new con-
tracts will be made, and there will be re-
duction In the output of iron and steel,
which will in all probability spread to other
lines of business
Herbert L. Jones of Charles G. Gates &
Co. said: There is considerable discussion
of a probable furry in money rates next
week, but 1 am of the opinion that the
market will do better; prices will work
higher and more activity will be seem l
believe the situation is healthy and-sound
and that good stocks should be bought on
all reactions"

Handwriting Of Authors,
From the Dundee Advertiser.

from tne dundee Advertiser.
Charlotte BrOntes handwriting seemed to
have been traced with a needle and the
penmanship Of Bryant was aggressive well
formed and decidedly pleasing to the eye.
Thackeray's writing was marvelously neat
and precise, but 1t was so small that micro
scopic eyes were needed to read it. Long,
fellow wrote a bold open back hand, which
was the delight Of printers Joaquin Miller
writes such a bad hand that he often be-
comes puzzled over his own work. The
handwriting Of Capt. Marryat was SO mi
croscopic that when he rested from his
labors he was obliged to mark the place
where he left off by sticking pin in the
paper. Napoleon's handwriting was worse
than illegible. 1t is said that his letters
from Germany to the Empress Josephine
were at first taken for rough maps of the
seat Of war Much Of Carlyle's tempera-
ment may be read in his handwriting. He
wrote a patient, Grabbed, oddly emphasized
hand. The chirOgraphy Of Walter Scott
Leigh Hunt, Moore and Gray was easy to
read and ran smoothly. 1t was not express
sive of any especial individuality, however
The writing of Dickens was minute, and
the authors habit of writing with blue ink
upon blue paper, with frequent erasures
and interlineations made his copy a bur-
den to his publishers. ByrOn's handwriting
was a mere scrawl. His additions in his
proofs often exceeded In volume the orig
inal copy. To one Of his poems which con-
tanned only 400 lines in the original, 1000
lines were added in the proofs.

From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The Swiss are nation in arms. Your
SwitZer is a born marksman. Shooting is
the national pastime. Every traveller in
Switzerland must have noticed it. The vii
lage green in Switzerland is the rifle range.
The local festival is the shooting veren.
Even on the outskirts of lovely Lucerne'
and within range Of it's Peace Museum,
you will Sc the Swiss youths spending their
Sunday afternoons in practice at the target
The ''164 days spread over eight years. are
supplemented by many day at the target
or among the hills. Thus it Is that the
Swiss, being nation in arms, find so little
difficulty in organizing a national army
Then, according to the theories of some who
judge things by phrases, Switzerland must
be country given over to "militarsm"
Democracy must be tainted by the military
spirit, and education must be corrupted by
such dangerous things as flags and guns
knows Switzerland and the Swiss that any
such deductions are precisely the reverse Of
the fact. The Switzer Is, indeed, intensely
patriotic. He believes to the bottom of his
heart that the country which he loves and
In which he lives is worth fighting for, and
he does not chafe under the compulsion
which requires him to defend his father
land with his own right arm and steady
eye. But in no country, we imagine, Is
there less Of the military spirit which peo-
pie mean by "militarism" than in Switzer-
land; In none Is democracy less adulterated
or more direct; and In none is education
more eagerly pursued. Schools and rifle
ranges you will find everywhere.
