BELATED RECOGNITION.
Monument for James Rumsey, Inven-
tor of the Steamboat.

There are now bright prospects
that the recognition long denied to
James Rumsey, the inventor OF the
steamboat, is to be at last accorded
him. A bill will be introduced in the
West Virginia legislature by Delegate
Kearfott, of Jefferson county, in the
senate, providing for an appropriation
of 5000 for the erection of a monu-
ment to the memory OF the great in
ventor at Shepherdstown the scene
Of his labors and success. With two
influential representatives like Messrs.
McIntire and Kearfott urging it, and
with strong endorsement Of the
movement given by Ex-Governor
White in his message, two years ago,
and with the cooperation OF Governor
Dawson, there is every reason to hope
that something substantial will be
done in rescuing from oblivion the
name of one of Americas greatest IN
ventors.

republican ticket. This led to a gen
eral belief that Mr.. Barton felt assur-
ed Of his reappointment for fourth
term He was first appointed by
Governor Atkinson in 1897. However,
the fact is that Mr.. Barton is going
to have stiff fight to hold on to his
Office, according to knowing ones
here. He is to have an opponent for
the place, who viii hail from South
ern West Virginia, which has wanted
little in former years and got less. but

1t begins to look a little shaky for
State Chairman Matthews brother
Joe. Joe is slated by the powers that
be to be elected warden of the peni-
Tertiary at MoundsvilIe, but late de-
velopments seem to jeopardize his
chances of remaining on the SLATE.
The fact of his name being there
is due to the position and influence
of his brother In Huntington, Joe's
home town, his opponents are circu-
lating petitions asking that his APP
pointment be not made. and a big
strong delegation from upstate Sat
urday waited on Governor Dawson In
sisting that Acting Warden Dawson
tno relation of the governor) be ap-
pointed. The directing board wants
to appoint him, but deems it wise to
hearken unto the wishes of the gov
ernor in the matter and act accord
inglgy. Dawson has made fine rec
ord as warden: he has had years OF
experience at the penitentiary; has
shown capacity, energy and ability in
the conduct of the great penal insti-
tuition, and If merit alone were con-
sidered no one would stand a ghost
of chance to defeat him. But poll
tics is politics, and Dawson may have
to go The friends of Joe Matthews
say that he can make good in the
place if he gets chance.
EchoIs Likely the Lucky Man.
State Tax Commissioner Thomas
Townsend has decided on the appoint
ment of a chief clerk, but has not
formally announced the name of the
fortunate one. 1t is whispered that
l.. S. Echols of Point Pleasant is
the man chosen. Echols had Cover
nor Dawson's endorsement, and also
that of Colonel John K Thompson
and DR. Barbee. The present regu-
lar organization of Mason county en-
tered protest against his appoint
ment, but it would seem that it did
not avail with Commissioner Town
and against Governor Dawsons en-
dorsement of Echols. which isn't any
thing much to cause surprise

Judge Dayton Gives Out Statement
Of Recent Trip to Washington on
Which There Was Much Rumcr.

In an authoritive statement in re-
gard to the recent talk OF a cabinet

There IS absolutely no foundation
for this report. | have not been ten
dered this cabinet position and so far
as know my name has not been con-
sidered by the president-elect in this
connection. When I resigned by seat
IN congress to assume Judicial duties
/ finally and forever put behind me
all political aspirations and ambitions,
and have not since, and win not nave
in the future any desire for prefer
ment of honor in any service than in
the judicial one, and then only in case
! prove myself by energy, industry
and sound legal ability, fully worth.
"The occasion of my recent trip to
Washington was at the instance and
request Of the president to confer
with Justice Moody and Paul Morton,
former secl etary of the navy, and a
number Of distinguished officers Of the
navy touching the questions Of navy
organization, and give the president
and secretary of the navy the benefit
of our matured AID combined judg-
men as to the best line of action to
be pursued. This we have done
"Of course / very greatly appreciate

But it is to be remembered that
nothing can be more unfortunate for
a Judge than to acquire the reputa-
ton of having political aspirations.

not desire the reputation of having
such, therefore l earnestly hope my
friends viii drop forever amy thought
of my returning to political life, and
reconcile themselves TO the fact that
my career in that direction is forever

From The World Of Monday:

From The World of Monday:
Mr.. George w Nicodemus died sud-
denly and Unexpectedly Of heart
failure Sunday morning at 7 O'Clock
at his home, In the 65th year of his
age, 314 East Race htreet. He had
been suffering with asthma for some
time but his condition was not re.
garded as serious. As he was in the
act Of rising from bed he fell over
dead C2roner w. r. Kline was cali
ed TO the house but decided that the
man died from natural causes and no
inquest was necessary. He is SUR
vived by these brothers and sisters:
Ezra, an old Union soldier, Dallas,
ana Miss Jennie, all unmarried and
who, with the deceased lived together,
also Martin L., near keedsgville, Nd;
John. in Hagerstown and Mrs. Hillary
Huntsberry, between Hagerstown and
Boonsboro, Md.
The deceased came here about or
10 years ago from Sharpsburg, Nd.
This winter he had been living in the
country with a farmer and came to
town a few weeks ago to nurse his
brother, Ezra, who lis very i'll with
pneumonia. He was bachelor.
Funeral Tuesday at 10 a. m. from
the house and interment in Green
Hill cemetery.
In this connection it may be stated
that when Coroner Kline went to the
Nicodemus house Sunday morning he
found no fire in the house, except a
little in the kitchen in a separate
part of the house, and no coal on
hand. He at once ordered two
sacks of coal to be sent there and
afterwards Mr.. Chas. Ridenour, a
neighbor, went to the house and built
a fire. The wonder is that the aged
brother lying sick in bed with pneu-
monia in house without fire at this
time of the year lived through it.
Here is a case where the charitably
disposed can do some practical work.
Miss Kate Gassford.
Miss Kate Lee Glsssford died Sat
