Dear sirs; The wear. OF paint goes
by gallons; the less-gallons paint
wears longest. The reason, of course,
is Its strength. 1t takes less gallons,
because 1t is strong; 1t wears long
time. because it is strong. 1t is all
paint and the strongest paint.
There. is best paint along all paint
paints. No two are alike, of course;
no two cover alike or wear alike.
One issthin, -another,is thick; one has
too much lead, another too much zinc.
another is right. The right is Devoe,
SO far as is yet known. Perhaps
somebody-else viii ;find-out a better
paint than Devoe: then Devoe viii be-
come a more-sallons paint, a costiier
paint, a weaker paint, a less durable
paint. a less-economical paint, timld
paint.
Bigger changes than that have
come over the world. Devoe has the
lead: why shouldn't We lose 1t 10
tsomebody-else?
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvoE & co.
P. s.-cost- Holden Co. sells our
paint.

The, Byr.n,e C,ase.

The RUE governing the George
Byrne case is No.. 12. tbeing article
8, section 20 of the constitution)
as follows:
The senate may punish by i'm.
prisonment any person not a mem.
Der for disrespectful behavior In is
presence; for obstructing any Of It's
officers In the discharge OF their du-
ties; or for any assault, threat CT
abuse OF any member for words
spoken in debate; but such imprison-
ment shall not extend beyond the
termination OF the session"
The part which applies to the
Byrne case is, "for obstructing any
of Its (senate's) officers in the dis
charge Of their duties" and II Is on
this that the great minds interested
differ.
Byrnes defense was very shrewd
and ingenious, and strong from le-
gal standpoint. SO well-versed law
yers say. The case is unique 1t is
the first of the kind in the history
of the states legislatures, and 1t
would be interesting to see 1t go 20
the limits of Its possibilities before
the bar OF the senate as well as be-
fore the bar of the highest compe-
tent court.
1t would establish precendent by
which future proceedings OF the
kind could be guided. As to the
. materiality or Importance of the
{, answer to the question Byrne de-
clined to give the committee, that
has been lost sight OF in the more
Interesting and novel legal complex
tiles involved.
Anyway there has never existed
any serious thought that If Byrne
were to tell the naMe of his inform
ant. 1t would lead to any disclos-
'ires to amount to anything.
The case served to bring out an
other fact, which some of the sem
ators were doubtless unaware Of
Bailey moved to go into executive
session on the Byrne case. The mo-.
ton was voted down. 1t was out OF
order, however, since the senate can
only go into executive session 10
consider appointments by the gov
ernor or to receive and consider
messages from him to it. 1t may,
by resolution. though. exclude all
spectators. which is almost equiva-
lent.
The constitution and the rules are
two branches that every newly elect
ed legislator would find helpful 20
him in the discharge of his duties,
and merit a generous expenditure Of
midnight oil on his part.

N. @ Nicewander Sustains
Fractured Skull, Scalds
and Other Injuries.
MILL PARTLY WRECKED
'Workmen Fleeing in Dark,
ness Run Against Things
And Are Hurt u I.

The sixty ton fy wheel Of a large
steam engine in the Phillips Sheet y
Tin Plate scompanyss mill In Easr
clarksburg burst into fragments at
5 o'clock Tuesday morning, wrecking
the engine and other machinery
nearby and tearing holes In the
building. While tryig to stomp the
wild engine, F. G. Nicewander, en-
gineer. received probably fatal injur-
les. He was not struck
by flying pieces Of the wheel
but was thrown violently against
piece of machinery and
had his skull fractured. He was all
SO scatded by escaping steam. Sew
eral other men sustained slight In
uries while making their exit from
the place in the dark, but none OF
them were seriously hurt.
Nicewander was taken immedi-
atelyy to st. Mary's hospital where
he lies at present under the care OF
physicians. He sustained double
compound fracture OF the skull be-
sides other injuries and scaIds and
his condition is critical.
The governor of the steam engine,
or other apparatus connected with
1T, worked out of gear In some un-
known manner. causing the engine
to run away. The piston rod oscilli-
ated with increasing rapidity and
the big fly wheel whirled faster and
faster until its momentum generated
centrifugal force greater than the
wheel could stand and 1t burst into
fragments with loud crash. Pieces
flew through the roof and walls of
1.-THE building, tearing large holes in
them. and wrecked machinery and
equipment nearby.
Nicewander was trying to shut on
the engine when he was thrown
against some machinery and injured.
Escaping steam poured upon him as
he Jay upon the ground and he was
severely scalded before he could be
dragged away.
When the big fiywheel burst. some
fragments severed the electric light
wires and the whole plant was turn.
ed into darkness. Uanic stricken, the
workmen in the building ran out
side. While trying to get outside.
several ran against machinery and
other equipment and received
sashes, bruises and scratches, but
no one was seriously hurt.
The exact damage accused by the
accident is not known as yet. Thee
Is a considerable loss on the engine
and the machinery and equipment
that was damaged. The greater
loss, however, will bedn the Gripping
of operations at the plant. Because
of the damaged machinery and
equipment. the output Of the plant
will be curtailed about one-sixth Of
the, total for probably two months.
That length Of time will be required
to repair the damage and replace
wrecked machinery. 4
The engine is a one-thousand
horse power machine of the direct
drive type and is situated in the hot
mill. a building 1900 feet long.
The axle of the fly wheel is. on the
same spindle that drives the machin-
cry of this mill. There were about
three hundred men at work in the
mill when the fly wheel burst.

According to Mr.. Carnegie. the very
gravest Of the dangers that beset Young
m IN who aim ut success in business is
the habit of Intoxicating liquors. He
says in his book, The Empire of Rus,-
ness"
THE first aud most seductive peril
and the destroyer of most young men
is the drinking of liquor. am no tenn.
perance lecturer in disguise, but man
who knows and tellsyou what OBSERVE
ton has proved to him; and | say To
you that you are more likely to fail In
your career from acquiring the habit
of drinking liquor than from any or
all of the other temptations likely TO
assail you. You may yield to almost
any other temptation, and reform-may
brace up, and, if not recover lost
ground, at least remain in the race.
and secure and maintain respectable
position. But from the insane thirst
for liquor escape is almost impossible.
l have known but few exceptions to
the rule.
