The object of this editorial col
umn is not to give any extended
historical account of the past of
Marietta, but rather to call atten-
ton to the city as it is today; and
if one-ha!f of the writing that has
been done in the past had set forth
the advantages Of Marietta as a
favorable site for manufacturing
enterprises of all kinds. instead of
giving fulsome praise to iudividu-
ais, she might today be one of the
largest and most important indus
trial centres in the State, if not in
the South, and every foot of what
is now vacant land be occupied by
some large plant or factory. AS
it is, the city stands forth as a
leader in almost every line of hu-
man endeavor, as u glance at this
page will show, and, it may be
truthfully said, that in all the ele-
ments of progressiyeness and
achievement Marietta holds a first
place among the favored cities of
the State.
Marietta possesses an abundant
supply of water for both mechan-
zeal and domestic purposes, as also
for fire protection, and few cities
in the South surpass it for nat
ural drainage or provision for
quick removal of sewerage. With

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


At an auction in a storage warehouse
the auctioneer had but just restored
harmony between two females, each of
whom believed herself to be the pur-
chaser of two pigs in a blue china
automobile, when a small voice piped
up, demanding to know when the kit
tens were to be put up for sale. The
auctioneer paid no attention, says a
writer in the New York Sun, because a
roll-top desk was in danger of going
for six dollars and a half. Again the
small voice arose, and as no one an
swered it died down.
The roll-top desk finally brought
twelve dollars, and in the triumphant
moment that followed, the auctioneer
heard the small, persistent person say
ing:
please, aren't you going to put up
the kittens?"
"Kittens?" said the auctioneer, won
dering if he had missed lot.
Here the small person was raised on
some ones shoulder He proved to be
a black-eyed, curly-haired little chap.
Every one smiled and asked him what
kittens he meant. He was quite abashed
by so much attention, but managed to
lisp out:
THE men that drive the horses said
the kittens what lives in the box are
going to be sold, and [ want one"
AS a grimy fist containing four cents
was held out for the auctioneer's in
spection, the small person grew so in
popular favor that the kittens were
sent for, and he was allowed to take
his choice. He trotted off, having
bought the only live stock of the morn
ing, but holding it so tightly round its
fat little waist-line that it stood small
chance Of being live stock long.
Men smiled tolerantly after the re-
treating little figure, and even the auc-
tioneer was moved to momentary ST.
lence, all of which goes to show that

Canine Advertisers.

\ merchant in State street took a
novel method of advertising his wares
last week. Two show cases of the I'D
right variety stood in front of his
door. and on each was planted a dog
dressed in gaudy blankets and be-
decked with miniature plug hats.
Each held a stick in its mouth, from
which were suspended in banner fash
ion placards setting forth the merits
OF the merchants goods. One of the
dogs was a splendid specimen of p
brindle bull; the other was an Irish
terrier, the saucy expression of whose
face was accumulated by the plug" hat
cooked rakishly over one ear. The two
eyed the crowd somewhat bashfuIlv
and anon looked at each other IS
though to say: ITO what base rsas

Judging from the expressions heard
in the crowd, which almost blocked the
thoroughfare, the dogs were moro q

THE ROCK OF CAsHEL.
Historic Shrine, Which Was the

Few, II any, ecclesiastical ruins in
Ireland are more Interesting than those
which crown the far-famed Rock of
Cashel. The rock itself is one of the
most conspicuous landmarks in the
south of Ireland and towers like an
other Gibraltar above the Golden Vale
Of Tipperary. For more than 1000
years Cashel was the seat Of the Kings
of Munster and IN the very days of st.
Patrick the famous rock served the
purposes Of religion. In the middle of
the fifth century a SYNOD was hold
there, attended by St Patrick. St
Ailbe and St Declan. and it was then
that King AenguS, who had been bap-

NEW YORK, March 21.-The Duke
of the Abruzzi, cousin of the King OF
Italy, who is reported to be engaged
to marry Miss katherine Elkins, sailed
for Europe today on the steamship

the duke declined to affirm or deny the
reported engagement, but his demeanor
was regarded by the reporters who gath

The duke was registered on the ships

reporters who were gathered on the
dock he said:

right. Miss Elkins family has RETAINED
from making any public statement, and

placed upon their silence"

dreadful massacre under the Irish At

which ragged in Britain and Ireland be
tween the Parliamentarians and Roy
alists, with the Catholics in Ireland
forming at one time a distinct party.
O'Brien was a product of his times

law inflicted upon the Irish people.
This law constituted what is known as
a Court of Wards an institution ere
ated for the purpose Of Selling the in
FAINT children of the Irish Catholic no
bility and rearing them in hatred and
horror of the faith of their fathers.
OBrien had been seized as a child and
reared in this manner, but it cannot be
said that he was taught to eXemplify
any of the virtues of Christianity.
O'Brien threw in his lot with the
parliamentary forces, fighting against
King Charles of England, who after
ward lost his head at Whitehall, and
received the command Of the anti-rOy
alist forces in Munster, with the title
of president. He fought with fanati-
cal zeal against the Catholics and roy
alist troops, burning and ravaging his
way through Munster like second At
tia. But the browning act Of his ca
reer was the massacre of Cashel. He
besieged and stormed the city and then
attacked the cathedral, in which wom-
en- and children and others of the in
habitants had taken refuge. His SOL
diers were ordered to give no quarter
and mercilessly they carried out the
command. When the doors and Win
dows had been riddIed with volleys of
m1sket balls the troopers were sent in
to finish with pike and saber the work
which the LUllets had left incomplete.
The floor of the cathedral was piled
high with the bodies of the dead and
