Wendell Phillips and Blaine.

When Wendell Phillips was last il
Washington he was for Il few minutes
on the foo- OF the United States sen
ate. surrounded by Il group of senators,
among whom was Senator james G
Blaine. always favOrite with Mr
Phillips. 1t so happened that a few
weeks before this time Mr.. Blaine IL
presenting to congress the statue oil
Governor King. first governor OF
Maine to be placed in the rotunda OF
the capitol. had commented severely or
the loyalty of Massachusetts and espe,
cialIy the Federalist party during the
war with Great Britain in 1872
OF this party the father OF Wendell
Phillips. John Phillips. was i conspicu
Gus member When Blaine's speech
was made. Dawes and Hoar were sena.
tors from Massachusetts, and they both
essayed some sort OF an inpromptu re
ply thereto. but did themselves little
credit in parrying the thrusts OF
Blaine's glitterinG Tapier.
So when Wendell Phillips met Blaine
on this occasion he said to him laugh.
ingly. Il wish / had been a member Of
this body for about an hour the otheI
day when you made that speech at.

Patrons Have Signed Petition
Stating They Will Not Con-
sent to Have No. 9 Built on
The Old Site.
WANT BUILDING PUT
ACROSS THE ROAD.
Plot Is Owned by Woman Who
Refuses to Sell, and Con-
demnation Proceedings May
Result.

Thirty-two patrons Of school No. 9,
located east of the city. have signed a
petition stating they will not consent
to the erection of new building on
any site other than that directly east
and across the road from the present
building. The tOWnshOp trustee is
powerless to change the location of a
school building without the consent OF
the majority of the lawful school pa
irons. This includes the parents or
guardians of all children in the dis
triCt between the ages of six and TWEEN
ty-One. In view of the contingency
that has arisen, if Mrs. Anna Moor
man continues to refuse to dispose of
the site east Of the present building,
it is probable that the matter will be
appealed to the circuit court and con
demnatiOn proceedings entered.
The trustee and county superintend-
cnt selected the site spoken of origi-
nally and Mrs. Norman was offered
S1,200 for one acre of ground. She
refused the price. A petition was
circulated and a majority Of the names
Of school patrons was secured in favor
Of the location. Mrs. Norman
made a canvass Of the patrons after
ward and circulated petition asking
that the acre of woodland at the cor
ner Of the national road and the
county road leading south at the Moor
man switch be chosen. She offered to
dispose of this acre plot for $3.50. She
made various representations 10 the
patrons in regard to the attitude of
Trustee Potter and Superintendent Jor-
dan and a number of signers Of the
original petition signed that circulated
by Mrs. Norman. When the matter
came up for hearing Superintendent
Jordan ruled off the names on Mr.. Pot
ter's petition. which appeared also on
that of Mrs. Norman. In this way
the trustee lost his majority and the
school house could not he moved.
superintendent Jordan and the
township advisory hoard nave refused
TO locate the building on the corner
plot The condition of the ground is
one cause for objection. 1t is rolling
and slopes 10 ravire on the south.
To make the school ward level with
the national road would require fill
of four or five feet. Mr.. Jordan did
not want the building TO face the main
road because of the danger 10 children
in crossing the tracks and it was not
deemed advisable 10 face the structure
to the west and put the long side ad-
jacent 10 the main road.
The trustee has readvertised the
matter as required by law and Mrs.
Norman Will have twenty days in
which to select the offer Of S1.4,n for
one acre or take her chances in the
courts. The trustee can not locate the
proposed building in any place other
than east Of the one now in use Ad,
vertisemenr for bids on the new build
ing have been made and one Of the
stipulations is that it be completed by
September l. The time lost in the ne
gotiations in regard 10 the sale of the
land has retarded the beginning OF the
building operations.

COUNCIL CALLED IN
ON FRIDGE CASE
Commissioners Find Est-
mates Too Low.

Owing to the fact the estimates for
the cost of constructing the proposed
bridge at Sugar Grove were too low.
the county commissioners met this
afternoon and prepared a call for a
meeting of the county council. The
latter body will be asked TO increase
the appropriation to defray the cost
of erecting this structure. The estt
mate for the bridge was prepared by
a Cambridge City firm. 1t was so low
that all bridge companies refused to
bid as the county council did not ap-
propriate sufficient amount OF
money to cover the costs. The COM
missioners will have all the legal mat
ters and advertising TO repeat before
the contract can be awarded.

TANNING OF LEATHER.
II Is Probably the Most Ancient of All
the Arts.

tnS SFISs
Tanning Of leather is probably the
Oldest Of all arts. Agriculture is the
only one that would have a chance Of
competition. but the probabilities are
that cold weather taught the first intel
liGent anthropoid ape to move south or
cover himself with skins. Without tan
ming the raw hides would soon stiffen
and in damp weather would rot and
become unbearable because of their
odors Proba bly, a bout the period of the
troglodytes or cave men. the art had
lis inception. and right here is to be
stated one Of the most curious fea-
lures of the art-namely. that. while
every other art has advanced. the
methods employed by most tanners to-
day are quite similar to those used in
the time of HerodOtus. writer who
has told us more about the world as
he found it than has any historian who
succeeded him.
Herodotus says he found the Afri-
cans wearing skins for clothing. re-
of q country in which the thermometer
rarely goes below 100 degrees F. The
Phoenicians used tanned leather for
the outsides of ships with which they
fearlessly navigated every square mile
of the sea of all antiquity. Babylonian
leather workers were respected in the
time OF David of Judea. Russia leath-
err has held a proud place since the
first century Of our era. Dyed mara
quin leather from Astrak han. at the
mouth of the Nolga. made from goat
skins, is famous the world over for the
beauty Of it's red and yellow dyes.
Then there is the shagreen OF Tartary
and Armenia, made of only a small
feet, just over the tail.
To me the most memorable thing I
saw at Tangier, Morocco, was a IA
nous tannery that dated back to the
period preceding the Arabic invasion
of Europe. For some Of the finest
grades a man was treading the skins
in a vat barefooted. He was some
wretched outcast picked up on the
streets and in need of u few copper
coins to save him from starvation. The
guide told me that an hour among the
mineral and vegetable acids in that
vat would cause the skin to peel from
his feet and legs as If the flesh had
been boiled. AS hospitals are unknown
in Tangier this seemed a serious pros
peCt for the poor wretch. This incident
recalled the unfortunate mules al Qua
najuata and in other places of Mexico
that are put into the cyanide tanks to
separate the silver by tramplng. The
poor Drutes soon lose their hoofs and
have to be shot.
Morocco leather is made Of goat
skins. dyed upon their outer surfaces.
Not until the middle Of the eighteenth
century was the art introduced into
France. where the highest grades of
Morocco leather are made in these
days, But most travellers are shown
books in the Vatican at Rome and in
the Royal library at Madrid bound
early in 100 that IRE in fine condition
Dyeiug leather red Is the most difficult
of all arts in treating skins. The color
requires some mysterious mOrdant &c
fix it. and not dyer between NIGGA,
dore and AIcpno will give up the Sc,
Cret-BroOGlyn Eagle.

Angry Husband
Shot His Wife
SHOT HER IN THE BACK WHILE
SHE WAS RUNNING TO
HER HOME.

Isaac Crane. a colored miner. ltv-
ing at Maynard, Belmont county, shot
and fatally injured his wife about
half past twelve o'clock Wednesday
afternoon.
The cause of the trouble leading
up to the shooting could not be
learned but the couple had a quar-
rel and the woman fled to the hill
from her home with the husband fol.
lowing her. He came upon her some
distance from the house and fired
two bullets from revolver into her
back at close range.
The woman fell to the ground and
the man fled over the hill with a num-
Der of men in pursuit. The sherItf's
Office at st. Clairsville was notified
and their deputies in that neighbor-
hood were asked to get busy.
Sheriff Amrine and his deputies
we're ready to start from st. CIairse
Vile when they got a telephone mes
sage from Deputy Sheriff Charles Net
eel of Barton stating that he had
caught the murderer some place near
Maynard.
He will be taken to the county Jail
Immediately. The excitement at May
nard following the shooting was so
great that it was impossible to get
anything like correct statement of
the shooting.
The woman was removed to her
home Immediately after the shooting
and physicians were summoned to at
tend her but the bullets had not been
located at a late hour. 1t was sail
that one shot went completely through
her body and the other is lodged some
place near the vital organs.
Isaac Crane. the man who did the
shooting, is said to be about So years
of age and has been living at May
nard for some time. The couple had
been having trouble for some time but
for what reason the neighbors did not
know.
