OLD TINE TYPO WILL ENTER HOME.

Lewis A. Gill, one of the old time
printers of this locality, known all
over the country, who has been stay
ing for some time at the home of his
sister at Belleville, left Monday for
Colorado, to enter the Printers Home
where he expects to spend the re-
mainder of his days.
Mr.. Gill was born on Blennerhas-
sett Island and learned the printers
trade in this city. He was bright
and apt, and after mastering the art
thoroughly was employed on all the
local papers at various times in the
sixties and seventies, and afterwards
worked in almost every state in the
union. During his residence here
he was one of the earliest opponents
of base ball and was considered a
skillful player. He was also prof.
Gent in all the athletic contests.
During the past year his health has
failed and he decided to go to the
Denver Home. He is probably the
first printer from this state at that
institution. -Parkersburg Sentinel.

A WORTHY CAUSE.

The Lincoln Farm Association is
raising fund to make national
park of the homestead where the
great emancipation was born. The
necessary money could more readily
have been secured by appealing to a
few persons of great wealth, but the
committee wisely felt that it would
be more inspiring to have the sub
scriptions come from a great number
of Americans.
1t is, therefore, taking subscrpt-
ions of from e5 cents to 81, and
every subscriber will receive a certi-
ficate of membership in the associa-
ton. The undertaking is altogether
laudable. The rise of Abraham Lin
coin from the obscurity and hard
poverty OF frontier life has no parallel
in human history. So long as the
republic shall endure Lincolns ex-
ample will stand an inspiration to
put faith and daring into the hearts
of poor boys everywhere. As he
himself so truthfully said: RE
public means opportunity not OPP
portunity for poor boys and girls,
however hard their lot, however hum
bic their origin or obscure their birth
to rise to posts of service, honor and
fame.

TO CONNECT WITH MARS.

Boston, May l9.-Prof. David n.
Todd, head of Amherst College OBJ
servatory, in an interview announced
his plans for picking up messages
from Mars by means of wireless in.
struments carried up in ballon to
the edge of the earth's atmosphere.
Shut up in an alright tank, borne
aloft in huge balloon, Prof. Todd
expects to make the attempt in Sept.
when the planet IS its nearest point
to the earth. Prof. Todd is to be
accompanied by Leo Stevens, of New
York, the celebrated aeronaut, who
will endeavor to pilot the ballon to a
height of 10 miles. The outlay, ii
is expected, will not exceed $1,000.
If there are human being or
Mars, said Prof. Todd, Il have nc
doubt that they have been sending
US messages for years, and are still
wondering at our stupidity in not re.
plying.
The Martians have found out the
things that the people of this planet
are still bin dly CROPPING for. Upon
Mars they have progressed thousands
of years beyond US. All the things
that are mysteries here are an open
book there. Once give US connect
ing link, and in that moment we
shall have unsealed book which
only tens of thousands of years Of
work and study could reveal.
