CROWN TO HER HUSBAND.

An old-fashioned English stone
mason is employed in a yard in
upper Hoboken to chisel tombstones.
He makes $40 a day as against
1888 in the old country. He lost
his job recently, and there was some
protest, to which the manager re-
piled: 'cHe is a splendid workman,
but he is always getting us in trou-
BILE. Why, the other day a party or
dered a headstone with this inscrip-
tion-'A Virtuous Woman Is a
Crown to Her Husband You see,
he wanted something for his depart
ed &ife's grave. What do you sup
pose our Englishman did? The stone
being a little narrow, he contracted
the sentence thus-'A Virtuous
Woman is IS to Her Husband As
we couldn't stand the fve-shilline
business he had to drop hin" IN

HOW ISLANDS. GET FORESTS
Seeds of Plants and Trees Are Carried
Far on the Feet of Journeying
Birds.

Darwin explains how islands get
their forest growth in this manner
He took from the foot of a wood
cock a cake of dry earth in which
was a seed of the load rust. He
planted the seed, and it terminated
and lowered. Prof. Newton sent
him the leg of partridge which
had been wounded and unable to fly.
Attached to it was a clod of earth
weighing 612 ounces. He broke un
the clod and placed it under a bell
glass. No fewer than 50 plants
sprang from it. 1t is the more in
teresting to know. that the clod OF
earth containing this treasury was
kept three years before planting.
1t is believed in this manner seeds
of various trees have been carried
and deposited on PARKWAY islands
where the product has grown and in
creased.

FIX THE TRACKS.

The traction company has put
On a better car, according to its
promise, and from what we have

Is far better observed. 1t is now
possible to get car without wait
ing an unreasonable time when one
is bound from one end of the city to
the other.
We suppose the company is also
preparing to repair between the
tracks. p By the contract between
the city and the street car company
the latter was to keep in good con-
diton the roadbed between the
tracks and for eighteen inches on
each side.
The city is now fixing up the
streets. Much stone has already
been laid by the street force. But

CHARLES w. MORSE.

The sentencing of Charles W.
Morse, the reckless New York finan-
cier. to fifteen years penitentiary
sentence ought to- have a good in
fluence on reckless bankers and fl
nanciers throughout the country.
Morse attempted to form a great
steamboat and ice trust and in his
manipulation of securities obtained
control of one or more of the great
New York banks. His reckless deal
ings materially aided in precipiating
the. financial panic of last year.
But the arm of the United States
is long. 1t landed John R. Walsh, the
great banker of Chicago, after 4
spectacular trial and now it reaches
out to punish his contemporary in
crime, Charles w. Morse.
The influence of these convictions is
good. 1t shows to the average citi-
zen that the cry so often heard that
the rich escape punishment in the
criminal courts is not always true.
The public conscience has awakened
in the last few years. And the ten
dency now is, to hold all responsible,
whether rich or poor.
The conviction is far reaching in
its effects. 1t will be a warning to
reckless fnanciers of every discTip-
ton. The injury to society and the
suffering inflicted upon a large num-
Der of individuals are infinitely great
er as the result of such crimes than
of many offenses for which men are
more severely punished.

sion will be maintained at Panama
and Colon without regard to protests
that have been made from merchants
in favor of restricting the operations
Of the commissary. Colonel George
w. Goethals. chief engineer OF the
isthmian canal, before leaving for the
isthmus via New York declared that
no weight would be given to protests
against the operation Of the commits
sion's commissary department, and
that 1t would be continued for all
classes of employees. He said that
this policy was necessary because OF
the extortionate prices charged by
merchants for their goods.

OUR CIRCULATION.

The News calls the attention of
the merchants and business men of
Winchester to the statement at the
head of it's editorial col INNS. By it,
they will see that the News is now
the best advertising medium in the
city and county.
The News now enters more home 8
in Winchester and in Clark county
than any other paper. 1t has had
from the very first issue larger
circulation in the city than any
other newspaper. whether daily or
weekly. Now it has more SUBJ
scribers on the rural routes of Clark
county than any other publication
of any kind.
When the News started the Lex
ington papers had large circula-
ton in this county and one of them
in particular had many readers on
our rural routes. But now The
News is in class by itself.
The wide awake merchant who
expects to increase his fall and
winter trade cannot fail to see the
advantage of using our advertising
columns. The fall trade has just
fairly opened and people are begin
ming to look round for their fall and
winter goods. By using the col
umns of a daily paper, the mer-
chant can tell his prospective GUS
TONERS at any time just what he has
on hand and what particular bar
gains he is ready to offer.
Our advertising patronage so far
has been good. We expect it to in
crease as the merchants get accus-
tened to using daily Issue.

Latest From Missouri.

ST. Louis, Nov. THE latest re-
turns give Taft the electoral vote of
Missouri by a plurality of 3,172 over
Bryan. These returns are complete
from all but three of the ia counties
of the state, and include estimates
based on partial returns from the
missing counties. The plurality of
Hadley (R.) for governor is now
placed at 1861. The legislature is
Democratic on joint ballot by four
votes. The 10 constitutional amend
ments, including that providing for

Claims Tammany Was LOYAL.

New York, Nov. 7.-Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall,
dictated statement in which he de-
MED specifically that Tammany Hall
did not support Bryan 1T is silly to
accuse Tammany Hall of knitting the
national Democratic ticket, taking all
the circumstances into considera-
tinn," said Mr.. Murphy MANY per-
sons who are making the charge
know better, but hope to make polit-
zeal capital at Tammany's expense.
There is plenty of proof that Tam
many was absolutely loyal. The fact
that the Democratic candidates on
the county ticket received far less
than the normal Democratic majority
is proof enough in itself that Tam
many was not in an way responsible
for the Bryan slump. The county
ticket suffered because of Bryan's
weakness. l notice that Ohio, In
diana and Minnesota elected Demo
cratic governors, but Bryan lost
them, and l have not heard any
charges of treachery to Bryan there.
There was no treachery. The whole
result was due only to Bryan's weak
ness and the strength of Taft, which
pulled Hughes through"

Claims Green Is Defeated.

Columbus, O., Nov. THE election
of d. s. Creamer, Democratic candi-
date for state treasurer, by from 5000
to 10000 plurality is claimed by Dem
ocratic State Chairman w. L. Finley
and National Committeeman Harvey
G. CARRIER. This claim is based on
revised returns received from Sc Of
the SO counties. The ratio of Cream
er's lead over the balance Of the DEM
ocratic ticket below the governor in
these AZ counties indicated that there
is a good chance for the official count
to show his election.

MORSE TO FIGHT
TO LAST DITCH
Directs Campaign From His
Prison Cell.
CURTIS IS GIVEN LIBERTY

Former Ice King Must Serve Fifteen
Years In Federal Prison at Atlanta,
Ga, For Juggling With Bank Funds
and Hooks-His Lawyers Make
Effort to Have Him Admitted to
Bail and Also Make Move For
New Trial.
New York, Nov. From a cell in
the Tombs prison Charles w. Morse
now directs the efforts of his counsel
to secure his freedom, he having
been sentenced to serve Is years in
the federal prison at Atlanta, Ca, for
interpolation of the funds of the
National Bank of North America and
making false entries in the books of
the bank. Alfred H. Curtis, former
president of the defunct bank. who
was jointly stried and convicted with
Morse, was given his liberty on a
suspended sentence.
While Morse's lawyers Immediate
.ly applied and secured a stay of ex-
ecution for 10 days after sentence
had been imposed, still it is probable
that Morse will remain a prisoner in
the Tombs until Monday, as Judge
Hough has refused to admit the
financier to bail. The Morse lawyers
applied to the United States circuit
court of appeals for a writ to show
cause why their client should not be
admitted to bail. and the writ was
granted, but it is not returnable I'M
til Monday. hence it appears that
Morse must remain a prisoner until
the question of bail is settled on that
day.
Whether a new trial will be grant
ed Morse is problematical. Judge La
combe granted a writ of error to the
Morse lawyers. This writ is return
able Dec. g, and is based upon the
usual grounds-exceptions taken by
the defense during the trial and ex-
ceptions to the Indictment itself This
step had to be taken before applica-
ton for bail could be made, and it
also leads to the argument for a new
trial. The Morse lawyers say their
client has instructed them to fight
ito the last ditch

70 Shown In Condition Of Trade
Throughout the Country.
New York, Nov. z. - Election re-
suits and the advent OF more season
able weather in some sections of the
country were helpful to trade this
week, and except In parts of the
south, where the holding of cotton
interfered, collections also have
shown improvement In wholesale
and manufacturing lines the tone of
business shows most marked i'm
provement.
Many industrial concerns have an
nounced increase of capacity and of
running time, and sales of pig iron,
structural material, >1ton goods for
spring and recorders for fan and
spring wear woolens shoes and other
lines have been enlarged. Practically
all pig iron markets were animated
this week and the volume of bust
ness placed was heavy. Most of the
tonnage was booked prior to the cleo
ton, the result of which appeared to
be well assured, and some of it was
probably brought out by concessions
in prices. However, quotations are
now firmer and inquiries for addition
al tonnage for delivery during the re-
mainder of this year and throughout
the first and second quarters of 1903
are numerous.
