Rare Coins Found.

Some time ago while going over the
premises of the late Katherine Kemble,
Kingwood w. Va, an old fashioned
purse was found which contained many
rare coins. Upwards of 100 silver 3-cent
pieces were among the lot, all in a good
state of preservation, the majority
bearing the date of 1852. Quite num-
Der of Spanish coins were in the purse,
one piece bearing the date of 1878. At
one time the Kemble property was a
tavern, and the retail price of drink
of whiskey was cents, which may ac-
count for the preponderance of that
coin among the collection.

I
next to the Fourth - the which is
circus day-has come and gone
and has not failed to thrill to his
innermost being the little boy of
the state line country and no
less his elders. Circus day, Lem
mon S first circus day, with Coll
mar Bros. aggregation doing the
honors, was on Monday last a
most happy and auspicious occa-
sion, and again the big crowd
demonstrated ad ocules the truth
Of the statement, that Lennon
is a good town to come to. A
good town for the circus folk to
TRY and serve, and a good town
for the countryside, far and near,
to gather in for a days whole
some frolic.
AS anticipated, the train of the
Gollmars came in Sunday evening
about TOO O'Clock, being greeted
! by the presence of a goodly nnm-
Der of sightseers, who in spite of
the occasional dash of rain good
naturedly proposed to witness
that ever interesting incident OF
a circus visit, the unloading.
Monday morning opened rather
murky, and with promise OF
showers, if not of steady rain.
Nevertheless every avenue lead
ing downward was sending IN
delegations of visitors, and by
the time of the parade the side
walks along Main street were
alive with their mass OF human
ity. At noon there was not a
hotel or restaurant which was not
put to the limit Of its capacity,
satisfying the hunger of the city's
guests.
The parade was attractive and
much appreciated, presenting the
usual features, but in manner
chic and greatly to the credit OF
the Gollmars.
The attendance at the after
noon show was what for a year
and-half old town, no doubt vii!
stand as a record breaker. Sur
rounded as the arena was, with
seats, and a capacity of 1000
being claimed for the main tent,
there was easily four-fifths Of the
seats taken, and an estimate OF
an attendance Of between four
and five thousand at the matinee
| is safe. The evening performance
also was we'll attended. A perfect
sunshiny day, would no doubt
have swelled this record by a
couple of thousand more. The
circus management were in con-
sequence of SO good a showing
more than pleased they were
gratified far beyond their expect
ations. Large as was the crowd,
| it was a most orderly one. A cap
able corps Of deputies assisted
Chief Dan House to keep up the
best of order, and but for a dozen
minor cases in which the "oh be
| Joyful" took a prominent part,
there was nothing tomar the days
good feeling.

Circus Day
It Was Great.

Good Old Lennon town passed thru
the ordeal of its first circus day
without a scratch and with colors
flying, and as a result is UNDER
scored for future seasons on the
show maps as decidedly good
show town,

AS far as financial support is
concerned, that question has been
settled by canvas on the part
Of the general committee. More
than ST., 500 has been secured,

pect $500 more when the work
is completed.

The Adbance of NiIitaYism.

The spirit of militarism grows stronger in
this country every year The civil power is
steadily losing ground. certain Major Of
the Army committed number Of crimes
Bigamy being one of them,-and the civil au-
thorities were not allowed to touch him. A
hasty court-martial took jurisdiction over this
Major and he was retired from the service, on
half pay. Bigamy is, of course, afelony pun
ishab1e by term in the penitentiary. This
officer ruined the Detroit girl whom he de-
ceived, wrecked the happiness of her family and
his own, yet he gets no punishment at all.
On the contrary, private who appeared in
public in civilian clothes, when he had been
ordered to wear a uniform, was sent to the
Leavenworth penitentiary for eighteen months,
and all his pay and allowances were forfeited.
An officer defrauds creditors right and left
and marries a respectable young lady in De
troit when he already has a wife and children
in California, but he is not even arrested for
the crime of Bigany. But friendless private,
for wearing the wrong suit of clothes "a purely
technical ofense involving no moral turpitude
whatever-is treated as a feon and packed
off to the pententiary
That is the hateful spirit of militarism. Even
in Germany, no greater distinction could be
made between privates and officers, and be-
tween the military and the civil authority.
