three. Taylor. Roane and Tyler.

difference in the sizes of the coun-
ties. and thus is Bennett ahead one

AS stated by Inc Telegram this

concrete that part of the sreet owned
by the county "a strip three and
half feet wide With this agreed to
by the court the council win arrange
to have the remainder paved with the
same kind of material, after procur-
ing the cooperation of the owners of
abutting property.
The project is commendable in

street leading to the city home ought
to be one, Of the best in the city.
Urging that the improvement be
made at this time is the miserable
condition Of the, street as well as the
necessity that 1t be repaired at once.

The Wheeling News wants to know
why there has been no prosecution or
punishment in the Shuttleworth-
Scherr mixup. The parties directly
concerned can best answer that ques-
tion, and. so far as Scherr is concern
ed the Telegram can answer for him,
as he stated to representative OF
this newspaper the night Of the oc-
currence that he did not intend to
prosecute Shuttleworth. III :. the
parties directly concerned do not
make any, complaint against one an
other, 1t certainly is not obligatory
upon any one else so to do. The
fact that Scherr~ did not have, Shut
tleworth arrested Is SUFFICIENT to
convince that he attached no poIit-
zeal Importance to the affair and fur
Their goes to show that he believes
that Shuttleworth was for him in
preference to Swisher, as he was in
formed that night.

Senae of Smell.

The olfactory nerves are wonderfully
sensitive. Much has yet to be investi-
gated with regard to the differentia-
ton of the points in these nerves so
that they may discriminate with such
apparently miraculous accuracy, yet
even the results in the scent of dogs
show how wonderfully fine is their
discriminating power Our sense Of
smell, unless in the trained chemist, is
not even so acute as that of the semi
savage. Much have we gained by civil
lization, but not without some loss to
our bodily energies and senses. Mans
recuperative power after an injury is
said frequently to be in inverse ratio
to his social Advancement Similarly
he seems to become less acute and del
icate in the sense of smell as he fares
better and lives more comfortably.-St

ENGLISH GHOST STORY.
A Vision That Saved a Life on the
Yorkshire DaIes.

Yorkshire Dales.
1t is not often that we hear of
ghost saving mans life. There is,
however, an instance, and it seems to
be tolerably well authenticated, and
materialists will hardly know how to
account for it. Here is the story. 1t
is of the Yorkshire dales and of good
many years ago. A clergyman whose
duty lay in that wild country, where
a strong race Of men and women lived
principally on bacon and oatcake and
knew not save rarely butchers meat,
used to ride or walk to visit the people.
He had been raising subscription in
q time of scarcity and had to be out
late at night. One evening on his out
ward journey he suddenly became
aware of a figure moving beside him,
and in the cleaning he recognized his
brother, who had died some time be-
fore He was too aweStruck for
words, and after keeping by his side
for some distance over the lonely moor
the figure disappeared. He noted the
time and the vision, but nothing oc-
However, some years after he had
taken the duty at a Jail in another part
OF the country one Of the prisoners ~
ing under sentence desired to make
confession. After telling him of lot
of crimes he said: Il wor very near
once taking your life, sir. 1t was in
that bad year, and heerd as how you
went carrying money about in those
lonesome dales. hid behind the big
powders of the brown moor. 1 saw
you coming up and waited till you
should be near enough but that night
you were not alone" This is a star
Ting tale and the stronger because
the vision or whatever it was was seen
by two people. The anecdote occurs in
an article twenty years ago in Mac
millans Magazine by Lady Verney.

Whv He Never Married.

A matinee girl from Chicago looked
up from a long and painful study of
one of Clyde Fitchs autographed SEN
timents into that authors face.
"Mr. Fitch" she began mournfully,
II know why you have not married"
"Tell me. 1 would like to know"
Certainly. 1t must have happened
this way: You wrote a proposal of
marriage to a beautiful leading wo-
man in one of your companies You
should have proposed in person. But
you wrote. She couldn't read your
writing and thought it was dismiss
al from the company. She drowned
herself, and you are still unmarried"
The dramatic author thoughtfully
rolled cigarette.
''It is as good a reason as 1 know"
he responded.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

MACBETH.
A Famous Actors Views on the Sleep
walking Scene.


walking Scene.
The first time | read this tragedy I
expected to see the sleepwalking scene
played by Macbeth instead of his wife.
This scene occurs at the beginning OF
the fifth act, and not until the gentle
woman and the doctor converse togeth-
err are we aware of the change in Lady
Macbeths character and of the illness
that has made her weak. A woman
so brutal in her conception and so res
dilute in her projects-how could she at
once lose steadfastness, she who was
capable of saying
/ would. while It was smiling in my face
Have plucked my nipple from his bone
less gums
And dashed the brains out.
Such a woman is capable of commit
ting any crime without losing her inn
passiveness. should have preferred
not to see her, even in sleep, wash her
hands of the murder Of Duncan. Her
wicked personality would have appear
ed still greater.
do not believe that Shakespeare
meant the sleepwalking scene for Lady
Macbeth. Have you not noticed how
precise the famous writer was in draw
ing his characters? He always tried
to keep them in the same light from
beginning to end. TO my mind it seems
impossible that Lady Macbeth should
collapse like that. Instead it would
be more natural in Macbeth. 1 found
this scene so unnatural that l cut 1t
out in my version.
The explanation may be something
like this: In Shakespeare's day there
were no women players. Perhaps some
of the actors were not satisfied with
the length of their respective parts.
Shakespeare, to keep the peace, may
have shortened Macbeths speeches and
given them to somebody else.
The tragedy of Macbeth is sublime
display of tragic passion, a pathetic
picture of fate and evil conquering
good. There is no moral, but without
doubt this play may be regarded as
the greatest work of dramatic litera-
ture.-Tommaso Salvini in Putnam's
Monthly.
