Pumping Out Newburg Shaft.

After lapse of something like %
years, the old Newburg (W. Va.) mine
shaft, is being rehabilitated and put in
to working condition again. The W. F..
Patterson Co., started work last Friday
pumping the water from the shaft and
will proceed to completely modernize
the workings. The Hamilton Coal and
Coke Co., the present owners of the
property will eXpend a large sum to get
the mine in operation. and it is wise
investment, for up to the time Of the
the terrible geXplosion in 1886, in which
thirty-nine men lost their lives, the
mine produced the finest grade of coal
to be found in this region and was much
in demand commercially. The property
has not been worked since the disaster.
Coal is there is abundance, and with the
plant run according to up-to-date meth
DDS, should pay handsome percentage
to its promoters.

nem0rial Day at Deer Park.

There was great deal of enthusiasm
and very large attendance on the oc-
casion of the memorial exercises at
Deer Park on Decoration Day. The
playing of the Deer Park band was es-
pecially commended.
Rev. E. j. Westfall was the orator at
the cemetery and his remarks were i'm
pressive. On the village green the eXer-
cises were resumed. VIM. D. Hoye
acted as chairman and he acquitted him
self well. G. W. Haulenbeek made the
opening address. One of the important
results of the war, he said, was that
we We're made a world power of infu-
ence.
Rev. c. W. Hudson was the next
speaker. He made an address bristling
with patriotism He extolled the
American citizen, and said it was far
greater to be an American citizen than
to be king or an emperor.
Chairman Hoye then introduced Mr..
Chas. M. Miller, an eX-Confederate,
and he made fine address, and al
though he was on the Confederate side,
no one could take exceptions to his re-
marks. He observed that the Confed-
crates numbered but 900, 600 men, while
there was formidable force of 2, 800, =
600 soldiers arrayed against them on the
Union side.
Chairman Hoye made the closing ad-
dress and referring to the statement as
to numbers, made by Mr. Miller, said
that defeat only came to the Confeder-
ates when they We're worn out fighting
such large body. He was applauded.

CIRCUIT COURT IN SESSION
June Team Opened Monday With
Judges Boyd and Henderson
Presiding.

The June term of the circuit court
commenced Monday with Chief Judge
A. Hunter Boyd and Associate Judge
Henderson on the bench. There are
forty cases on the criminal docket,
seventeen appeals and ninety-nine
trials.
Mr.. John A. Grant, of Oakland was
appointed foreman of the grand jury
and the following named We're drawn to
serve on the grand inquest for the pres
ent term:
Jacob Stump. Sebastian limbaugh,
Charles C. Hanpt, Charles Wamsley,
Charles H. YOumkin, William W. Sweet,
Dougall McLane, John W. Camp, NJ.
w. Kinsinger, jefferson Guard, Michael
Cunningham, Alpha Hinebaugh, Edwin
Sembower, Jacob E. Bowser, Ami G.
Lewis, Jacob S. Myers, Richard Laske,
Edward E. Brown, Levi Resi-, solomon
Glass, William S. Beaver, Henry C.
Butler, Samuel E. Broadwater.
Judge Boyd delivered the usual charge
to the grand jury instructing that body
specifically as to their duties. The
Court laid stress upon the Importance
OF keeping secret their proceedings and
called their attention to sundry acts of
assembly which require to be given in
charge to the grand jury at every term
of the court. The Court was particular
ly positive in reference to carrying con
cealed weapons.
The several dockets We're called and
an unusually large number Of judg
ments were entered in uncontested
cases. The term will probably be a
long one.
The Court adjourned for the day at
1890 in order that the judges might
meet the courthouse commission.
Since Tuesday cases on the appeal
docket has been disposed of, and this
morning the trial docket will be taken

The annual Memorial Day, falling
this year on last Saturday, was Observ-
ed in the usual manner in Oakland
quietly and in order-as the day should
be observed, for when one takes a ret
respective view of the day and all that
it implies, the associations, why it was
instituted and how it was originally in
tended to be observed. the occasion is
too solemn to be lightly and thought
lessly looked upon.
AS is generally the custom the eXer-
cises of the day were under the direct
charge of Crook Post, g. A. R., under
command of Capt. J. NJ. Jarboe, in the
absence of Col. A. G. Sturgiss, whose
physical condition was such as to pre-
vent him from taking active command.
The Post formed on Alder street,
and was followed in the line by the
school children and Knights of Pythias
lodge, marching thence to the cemetery,
when the graves Of the old soldiers, and
those of the deceased members of the
Pythian lodge were decorated.
The ranks of the Grand Army We're
thinner thisyea than eyer before, sew
eral of the old soldiers having answered
the last roll call in the time Intervening
between last Saturday and the previous
occasion.
At the cemetery details of soldiers
and the Knights We're sent to the graves
to strew them with flowers, after which
Rev. E. Manages, one of the veterans,
made few timely remarks to his com
rades and the crowd around.
The city of the dead looked more
beautiful than ever before. Masses Of
flowers decked nearly every grave Of
those who are sleeping there.
In town business was almost suspend
ed, nearly every one going either to the
cemetery or to other points where the
day is observed with less of the spirit Of
patriotism than it is here.

We wonder how many of our readers
have noticed the difference between the
man who has been married but a short
time and one who has been married
several years. You can always tell a
Young husband from an old one. When
man has been married a few months,
you will generally see him working in
the garden or fixing up about the house
and while he works he whistles, or sings,
or occasionally looks up towards the
window to see if anyone is watching
him. A year later he is still working
IN the garden but the smile has been
exchanged for trOwn and he occasion
ally looks up towards the house wonder
ing why in thunder breakfast is not
ready. Another year rolls by and his
looks would sour milk, but he is still
at work, stopping occasionally to kick
the dog or throw a brick at the cat.
The next year we find him sitting on
the front porch, smoking a pipe, while
his wife does the digging in the garden.
Now just watch our young men, as one
by one, they are caught in Cupids net
and see if this rule does not work out
the problem correctly.

Very many men attain wide rep
utatiOn within the male circle of their
acquaintance of being good fellows"
when the men themselves know that
it is undeserved and that the term 81 d
fellows would more nearly fit their
case. Of course there are hosts upon
hosts Of men-far more than the world
at large know Of-who are in truth
good fellows in every sense of the word
but 1t is fact, nevertheless, that in
numerous instances the designation
applied to men whose only title thereto
is won at the cost Of disquiet and ankle
ty at home and among friends and
possibly of broken hearts and ruined
lives. Viewed from merely the selfish
standpoint young man cannot afford
to be known as a good fellow, as the
term is commonly understood, much less
to be one. In its proper sense of being
an agreeable companion, everyone
should endeavor to be such and the first
place in which to show this good fellow
ship is the home.

THE WOMEN or JAPAN.
A Marked Change of Domestic Condi.
tions In Mikadc's Country.


Mime. Taknhira, wife OF the japanese
ambassador to the United States, in
en- interview recently corrects much
inisinformation current in this country
about the political and social condi-
lions of the women of Japan. 1.-THE
women of Japan she is quoted as
saying, .'are not under the restraint
they were many years ago. Our an
Cestors could scarcely understand the
changes which have come. Formerly
the women of my country were not
acquainted with the privileges which
were given to others, but all that is
changed now. We go about almost as
we please. and we even go to thea
than our husbands.
Il am exceptionally fond of music,
but when ] went to school we could
only learn Japanese music as it was
taught by our own people. We did not
then have the advantage of learning
the piano, the violin and other instru-
ments which it is now possible to mas
ter.
t'Our schools then. as indeed they are
now, We're conducted by native teach
ers, but were conducted along Euro
pean lines. With the years advance.
ment has come to our school system
as it has TO those of other countries
and it is now possible for our boys and
girls to have many more advantages
than formerly,
"A Japanese bride owes much TO her
husband, and there are certain-whai
you call them ?--commandments which
she must obey. but all marriage serv-
fees have those. l believe. and ours are
not SO strict, not as much SO as they
were years ago.
"Our people are learning the advan
tage Of being practical. and. while ]
believe they still retain their pictur
esaueness, they are looking more to the
steady and real progress of the coun
try and, / think, rarely miss an oppor
tunity TO accomplish it."
