THE PERSIAN PRINCE.

In Persia, where things do not happen as they happen here, there once lived a prince. He was prince because he wante d to be and because nobody else cared. He had council of wise men about him on whom he fawned because they were useful and whom he bat d because they were easy. They were even as potter's clay in his red hands and he moulded them the way it pleased him. Any way pleased him which oiled his own path. But the prince had one sorrow. Near the city he ruled was high hill on which the foot of man never trod. On the crest. of this hill the prince desired palace. He wanted it so much he couldn't sleep for dreaming about it, but he could not have 1t because there was no road leading to that high place. One day the prince called together the wise men of his council who had to do with the highway and he said unto them, ''Behold, the peoples money lies rusting in the coffers until it stinketh in the trust fund. Come, therefore, let us get ac- ton on their dough and bnild us an amazingly fine road to tue summit of yonder superb sand hill"
 And they arose in one voice and said, ''Prince, we will go you. We do not know why you want it, but that's ali the more reason we will build it. There isn't house in a mile of that hill and probably never will be, but we will show these fool tax payers why is 8 council"
 Then they arose and led their camels down the rocky canyon called Main street, not daring to mount them because the stones hurt the camel's cushioned feet, neither could they swim the sew age.
 Then it came to pass that the nnest road in all the land of Per- sia soon wound it's lonely way to that desolate hill top and stralghtway there arose, as if by magic, a wonderful castle on the hills crest, and the Pink Prince wore smile that would not come off. Thereafter, when one of the wise men met another picking his painful way down Main street he would ask, "Why is road?"
 And the other, answering, would say, Because castle. "

Mrs. Hughes Not an Anti.

The New York World is call ing attention to the fact that the statement of Mrs. Charles E. Hughes opposing woman sui frage recently published in it's columns was an erroneous one, and that the correspondent re- sponsible for it has been dismiss ed from all association with the paper. This will not be sufi- cient to restore the governor to favor with the women teachers of New York, however. Auent this teachers fight the editor of the Troy Press sagely observes that Suffrage is the shortest and sanest path for women who want equal pay for equal work. Then the jury box will not be packed against them"

ANOTHER YUMA RAILROAD
Southern Pacific Massing Workmen
 at Calexico.

The Imperial Standard says: The grading outfit of Shattuck & Desmond, which went down to CalexIco a few days since, is be- ing put in shape for work below the line on the extension of the valley road through to connec- tion with Yuma, and now it has been joined by @ bridge gang and by house,moving force.
 There will be considerable work for the bridge builders be- tween CaleXico and Pilot Knob, and that they should be sent in now shows disposition to keep this line of work up with the graders.
 There are several houses to be moved from the right of-way of the road through Calexico, and this will keep that line of work men busy for several days.
 There is great deal of specu- lation regarding the movements to be expected from Calexico during the next few months. There is. no official information whether the Southern Pacific has a hand in the San. Diego and Ar izona road or not, and this is the key to the situation.
 The Southern Pacific has planned road through to San Diego via Campo, following close to the international line, and 1t. has also planned a line through to Ensenada, Lower California, from Calexico.
 If the Southern Pacific has a hand in the San Diego and Ari- zona of course it can be expected that the line to Campo will be abandoned, but if it is not inter- ested in the Spreckels road, It can be taken for granted that it will get it's road through to San Diego at the earliest possible moment, and that may be the explanation of the rush of men to CaleXico at this season, when the heat of summer is just at hand.
 There is DO doubt that it is un- usual procedure for the company to lay hold of railroad construc- tion the 1st of July in this section and there must be some unusual condition to prompt such action. What that condition is only rail- road men know.
 This may imply that the valley Is to experience the novelty of two companies racing with each other for the completion of a route from Imperial valley to San Diego.
 Should this happen it is almost to be taken for granted that in leaving Carrisa creek the San Diego and Arizona road would make almost an air line through

The Sewer Proposition.
An Explanation.

The position taken by the Sen tinel last week with reference to the Sewer Muddle we still main tain. The criticism, however, was somewhat wrongly directed. As a matter of fact, the blame for the continued outrageous sewer conditions lies not with the council as a whole, but with the committee on streets, with which the mayor stands on the street and sewer question, and it was to this committee and the mayor that our remarks were di- rected. The members of this committee are D. Mcintyre, Squire Monroe and the mayors jumping jack, P. J. Miller.
 The minority of the council, composed of John Gandolfo, L. W. Alexander and P. Monson, stand at all times for what is best for the general public, and have never sanctioned improve ments in one section of the town to the neglect and detriment of any other part. They are dis posed to be impartial, fair and progressive, and are not in any manner responsible for the mis- erable policy of the controlling portion of the city government.

WELL SERMON
BY REV. McDAWEL
Vi The First Hppttsl Church. Ending.
His Mnistr, at the
Church

Called unanimously to the Vir-
ginia Avenue Baptist church at
Charleston. 5he Rev. Robert Brown
Mcdaniel. closed his ministry at the
First Baptist church here Sunday
night. preaching his farewell SER
mon in the capacity of the church's
pastor. A large congregation lis
tened to the sermon attentivelS and
pronounced 1t very able The SER
vice throughout was quite impress
sive and at the close Mr.. MeDanel
made touching references to the
work here, his friends, associations
and relationship with the church
and its people. as well as the cit
izenship generally, with which he
has come largely in contact during
his pastorate at the church and res
tdence of eight years in the city.
Preceding the sermon the ordi-
nance of baptism was administered
to A. T. Kyle, Leon Reese and Els
worth Curtin. great grand son of
A. G. Curtin, who was governor of
Pennsylvania. and Mrs. Harry b.
Curtin, Mrs. Leon Reese and Prof.
Aubrey w. Martin were given the
hand of fellowship.
The eight years pastorate of the
Rev. Mr.. Mcdaniel has been a most
successful one as the statistics of the
church show. The church has ex-
panded largely in membership and
influence and Is one of the strongest
churches of any denomination now
in the State. In the denomination
it is now regarded among the lead
ing churches the Baptists have in
the State and this high position was
acquired largely through the efforts
of Mr.. McDanel, Loyalty assisted by
his congregation.

DECREASE
In Population of State Prison
at MoundsviIIe Takes
Place.

Now that federal convicts from
the District of Columbia are no
longer sent to the West Virginia
pentitentiary, the population OF
that institution promises to shrink
considerably during the next several
years, unless there is a correspond
ing increase in the number of con-
victions for felonies in the State
The population of the penitentiaaray
is now approximate 1910. OF this
number more than 500 are State
convicts and the balance United
States prisoners. Fully half the
United States prisoners will be at
liberty within the next two years by
the expiration of their sentences
aud 1t is safe estimate that at the
end OF five years there will be less
than hunGred federal prisoners
confined at that institution 1t is
possible that the United States au-
thorities may at any time order
them all transferred to some federal
prison.

tered upon the pastorate eight
years ago and now there are ass
members, AL having been added
during the eight years and de-
crease of 225 having taken place.
In these eight years Mr.. Mcdaniel
preached 1923 sermons, made 1850
pastoral visits, ofHciated at COS
funerals. celebrated 227 marriages
and administered baptism to 224
persons. From the point of finance
the church has made a remarkable
record under his pastorate. A
church debt $4,000 has been liqui-
dated, the parsonage costing $2,-
600 at the time built has been paiu
for. three splendid mission ehapels
costing $4,000 have been built and
almost paid for. The church raised
about $4,000 for general purposes
and contributed to missions and be-
nevolence $1,000. But few churches
OF any denomination III any State
of the size of this church has u
prouder record than this in its
finances.
The Rev. Mr.. McDaners reference
to his departure was quite touching.
He spoke of the pleasant relation
ships between the. church and him
self. the loyal stand of the members
and their constant support Of his
ministry, and OF how hard and sad
1t was to separate from a people
with whom he had been associated
eight years in such an agreeable
and friendly way.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdaniel and chill
dren will spend a few days here
with friends and will leave Friday
morning by way of Orlando over
the Coal & Coke for Charleston,
where he will begin his new min
istry Sunday morning. Their de-
parture from Clarksburg is gener-

fny Asaoe1ated Pronr.1

CINCINNATI, Nov. 25.-Fire this
afternoon broke out in. the William
Windhorst Dry Goods Company,
Twelfth and Main streets. The
building is seven stories and was
usually crowded with shoppers and
employees.
The entire building was soon a
mass of flames. but it is hoped most
OF the people were able to escape. One
woman is known to be dead and half
n dozen others injured, most of them
from leaping from windows.
The fire started in a show window,
presumably from crossed electric
wires and shot up to the third floor,
where the dead woman was found and
from that floor spread throughout the
big structure.
There is known to have been in the
building 125 employees, of whom .
were located on the third floor Com
ing at the lunch hour the crowd in
the store was somewhat smaller and
that fact may reduce the list Of
casualties.
