The -PsrkersDurg sentinel sees SER
Ious clash coming between Senator
ElkIns and Hubbard. as the following
short editorial shows.
Out on the political horizon there
are few clouds of intlmation that
Elklns and Hubbard may clash over the
Clarkshurg postmaster. And then we
shall see which is the bigger man.
Denham Is warm supporter of Elkins
and masterful politician. but he has
acquired the i'll will OF Hubbard. and
Hubbard is a man who brooks no oppo-
sition. II he can help himself.

Bad Enects on Hnhhard

The Grafton Sentinel Is another Re-
publican newspaper. which deplores the
lmpolitIc action Of the removal OF sher-
man c. Denham as postmaster. The
Sentinel says in this connection:
1.-THE ousting OF Denham from the
postmastership at clarksburg has un-
questionably brought on very I'M
happy state of affairs In Harrison coun-
ty and the bad effects that may result
will most likely be visited upon the

With Ohio county in the Bennett col
umn the outlook for Hodges and Little
page becomes all the more gloomy. The
anxiety shown by some of the Hodges
and .Littlepage followings here and
elsewhere in the state indicates that
they see defeat ahead for their candi-
dates. and with the counties rounding
up so nicely for Bennett as Ohio and
Pendleton did the last few days it does
look as IL neither Hodges nor Littlepage
will make a competitive showing with
Bennett in the convention.

breaker.

After spending half a life in prison,
.GerOlamo Pasquale. a convict in Italy.
was recently given pardon to enjoy the
benefits Of a large Inheritance.
Pasquale was born in Milan, and came
into the hands Of the police at an early
age He was frequently arrested and
got his last sentence, one Of four years
Imprisonment, IN 1906. While ne WAS
working in the prison colony on the ISL

Of the death of his aunt. GIuseppina
Pontlggia, TO whom It was found he was
direct heir The woman died intestate,
and Pasquale. though be was her pet
aversion, inherited the estate after other
relatives tried in vain to prevent it,
so mighty is gold that Pasquale was re-
leased, and will not have to finish his
term. which ordinarily would not be end
ed until 1915. He married a widow with
one son and passed the first days after
his marriage lutUriOusly in Como.
