THE REAL B0WERY.
Swiftly Passing, It Has Never Been
 Wholly Revealed.


 The real Bowery has never been written up, and probably it never will be. because it Is swiftly passing. Hun dreds of attempts have been made by those who have not even penetrated the surface of its reserve. Its heart and soul-for the Bowery has both, as well as reserve-are a sealed book 10 the writers It is a Sargasso sea lit tered with derelicts of all worlds. drift ing back and forth with the endless cbb and flow of the tide, while all about them is the Ceaseless activity of commerce, of development, moving onward and upward despite the cease less cross current. which no literary mariner, cruising In these uncharted waters, can understand.
 Those who know it best and have some skill In writing as well as some understanding are so overwhelmed by it's endless complications, it's infinity of contradictions, its astonishing good ness and it's frightful depravity. the baff1ing mystery of it's wonderful hu- manness and it's fantastic mystery, that they do not dare attempt to write even what they know. Only one man in all literature could have interpreted the Bowery-and Balzac is dead,
 Most of us know the Bowery through fugitive newspaper sketches and fear some lurid melodramas. The sketches present certain phases more or less in telligently. but the melodramas are weird burlesques, unworthy even of being scoffed at, so far as any consid- eration of truth is concerned. But these cheap melodramas, endlesSly re- peated. have built up fiction that has come to be accepted as the reality - Everybody's Magazine.

SORENESS
Is Quite Evident Over the Sc
lection of McGraw In
stead of Chiffon.

While II Is true that all Is not
harmonious among the Republicans
OF West. Virginia, It Is also true. that
other ingredients besides that OF har-
mony are the makeup OF the Demo
cratic party of the state. The DEM
ocrats are still arguing among them
selves In the state over who Is the
original Bryan man, and the choice
of McCraw over Chiffon for national
committeeman in Denver last week
has not tended to get the two factions
any closer together. and 1t does not
require any great Imaginative powers
to forsee what will be the conditions
in West Virginia Democracy should
the prediction OF Willis A. Abbott,
that Chiffon Is to be made national
chairman, come true. Abbott has
been recognized as Bryan's mouth
piece in his campaign, and there are
kstill many OF Chllton's friends
through the state who believe that
the peerless one will show his belief
IN Chiffon by having him made chair
man of tn national committee, though
reports from Denver now say that 1t
lis believed that Dahlman is Bryan's
choice.
The Chiffon followers in the state
have not yet gotten over the disap-
pcintment they felt when they re-
ceived the news that McGraw had
been chosen by the West Virginia
delegation. They contend that Bryan
has expressed himself about as
Estrongly as 1t would have been adyis-
able for him to have done so in favor
OF Chiffon for the place, and they
consider the election OF McGraw as a
direct slap at the nominee for presl-
dent.
Col Joe Chiffon. who did not at
tend the convention, but remained at
home in Charleston, was very much
disappointed when he received the
news Of his brothers defeat, and in
an interview said that the election of
McGraw was brought about by men
who are not for Bryan in an effort
to compromise things.

Cases at Fairmont in the Cir.
cult Court of Judge
John w. Mason.

FAIRMoNT. July 15-Judge John
w. Mason, Of the circuit court, has
rendered his decisions in the case Of
the city OF Fairmont vs.. the Fair
mont Brewing Company. These de-
cisions have long been awaited by the
people Of this city as they pertain to
certain points OF law which are at
present were vital to certain inter-
ests in the city.
According to the Interpretation Of
the law by Judge Mason the Brewing
Company is operating their plant at
Fifth street and the Belt line CON
trary to law and for the charge
brought against them by the City Of
Eairmont and appealed they were
|adjudged guilty and fined 5000 and
costs. In the case OF the State vs..
the Brewing company, the case was
decided In favor of the defendant.
The State will not appeal this case as
the. settlement Of the former case by
the Supreme court in the appeal will
settle both cases.
+ The decision In the case OF the city
We. the Brewing company Is construed
by the local attorneys to mean that
the company is operating the plant
on state license issued contrarily to
law and that, unless Judge Mason is
reversed by the supreme court the
brewery will not be permitted to
either manufacture or sell Its pro-
ducts in this city.
