Mrs. Clay Subject of Sketch

Mrs. Alexander S. Clay, of Marietta,
Ga, wife Of United States Senator Clay,
was the subject of an interesting feature
story in the Sunday issue of the Phila-
delphia Record. The article was illus
trated with handsome picture of Mrs.
Clay, and was quite an interesting ex-
position of the views and personality
of the charming wife of the Junior sena-
tor from Georgia. Mrs. Clay's views
on social life in Georgia and the ling
ering signs of old-time Southern hos
pitality and plantation life are of es-
pecial interest. She is quoted by the
Record as saying, among other things;
81 have noticed some Wailing on the
part of Southern women about the

with town and country combined
Social life goes along 1eisurely and

still dispense large hospitality and
have our barbecues and big dining
and house parties as in the e-bel-
lum days. The people of the South
hold on to the homes of their ances-
tors and cling to the old tradition
much more from sentimental ideas
than for commercialagg randizement.
According to story told of Senator
Clay, says the Record article, he was
once discussing what constituted hap
piness with some cronies in the cloak
room Of the senate and he ended his
discourse about wealth and political
honors and success, fame or power, by
saying that those who thought these
things bring happiness were welcome
to their choice. 81 find happiness in

those who have spent years in hard

pectations centered in you-hopes
that society will be elevated, many
immorals corrected, wrongs righted
and places of importance better filed
Do you ask, where Is your place.
The world is before you, and though
it may seem crowded, there are still
many wants that it does not ad-
vertise, to avoid a rush of applicants
but these wants exist, and are, in
deed, very pressing and very real,
and your compensation will be as am

energy to earn it. The world wants
graduates who are men enough to
search out these places and make room
for themselves; it wants young
women of sufficient self-reliance to
bear the disappointment of not Sc
curing the first position for which
they apply; most of all, it wants
character, and it very wisely declines
to accept a college or school diploma
as conclusive evidence of that.
Therefore we silently whisper, enter
into your life work with right mo-

of purpose, and thoroughness that
will satisfy yourself; then others will
be satisfied. Realize the responsible
ties which have come to you, and as
sumo them in great humbleness, and

EARNEST ARCHER DEAD.

1t is with deep regret we cronicle
the death of Earnest Archer, son of
Mr.. J. W. Archer, living just below
Gallipolis Ferry.
His death mas brought the bitter
cup of sorrow to the lips of his friends
and relatives. He was bright,
promising youny man, and would
have graduated from Berea College,
Kentucky, this year, had not the
grim reaper aid his hand on him and
claimed lis own.
He WIS stricken with spinal men
nights early b,,s week, while attend
ing college at B .rea, Kentucky. and
died after an illness of only three
days. His father Mr.. J. W. Archer,
left for that pIa,c Immediately upon
beng informed Of his illness, but ar
rived there too late to see his son
alive.
The remains were brought home,
and the funeral was held Sunday,
burial later at the Bruce Chapel grave
yard, some minister from over in Ohio
officiating.
To the broEen-hearted father,
mother and brothers, who sit in sor-
row where his footsteps shall never
again find echo, we extend our svm-
pathy. When they have drained the
cup may the peace that passeth all
all understanding come to them from
One who cares for each little sparrow
that falls.

THREE CENT FARE
WILL Be RESUMED BY B.&O. JUNE
10TH.

Considerable surprise was express
ed today when it was learned that it
is the intention to advance the pass
enger fare from two cents per mile,
as provided under the law, to three
cents per mile, on the B. & o.
1t is said that official notification
has been received to this effect, and
that it will become effective on June
10, the new passenger tariff having
already been received. This affects
points only in West Virginia.
The cause of the surprise at the
action of the company is from the
fact that the Supreme Court render
ed a decision upholding the two cent
fare law. 1t is presumed that the
companyi is desirious of having anoth-
er test case notwithstanding SEN

the time slipped away UNDECIDED, and
late hour found the guests just de-

Socialist meeting which will be held
at Sistersville on the twenty-ninth

confidently expect that this will be
the largest state convention they
have ever held. They claim that
they are constantly gaining acquisiti-

next election they will poll larger
vote than ever before.
The Socialists, nationally are also
much encouraged, particularly since
the city of Milwaukee elected a So
cialist Mayor, it being the first large
city to take such a step.

BURGLAR RANSAcKED HOUSE.

The Charleston Mail has the fol-
lowing account of the burglarizing Of
the house of a former Point Pleasant
man: AT the point of revolver a
mask burglar who had entered the
home of Win Sterrett, on Virginia
street yesterday afternoon, compell-
ed the servant girl at the residence
to keep silence while he made his es-
cape. After the man had gotten
away it was found that he had taken
no valuables and it is thought that he
had just entered the house when the
maid discovered him. All the mem
bers of the family were away from
home at the time the robber appear
ed. The maid was alone in the house
and heard a noise on the second
floor. Upon investigating she found
a masked burglar; he told her if she
screamed he would kill her, and left
by the back door. The girl informed
members of the family, but no trace
of the man was found by the police.
There was much excitement in the
neighborhood, when the affair be-
came known.

Washington, D. c., May l9.-Ac-

take half million dollars or more to
defray the cost of raising the wreck
of the Maine in Havana harbor. A
bill appropriating 100000 for this
purpose already has passed congress
and been approved by the president.
Secretary of War Dickinson, how
ever, today called the attention Of
the house to letter to him, dated
last Saturday, from Chief Engineer
Marshall of the army, saying the
work could not be done for the $780,
900, nor can the amount econo-
mically and effectively expended in
initial work.

WILL ADJOURN JULY 18TH.

Washington, D. c., May "a
Shivers have been chasing up and
down the spinal column of members
who must face serious contests in
their state or districts if they came
back to the next congress ever since
John Dwight, the Republican ~hip
of the house of representatives issued
his prediction that the present session
would not adjourn before July Is.
Even the most pessimistic members
had thought there would be little
difficulty in getting away by the end
of June but a week has passed since
Dwight made his forecast and in that
time little progress has been made.
That the prediction was made as a
bluff for the purpose of impelling
both branches of congress to bestir
themselves was believed by the con-
gressional leaders but there is danger
now that the session will run well
into July.
The contest in the house over the
$780, 900 appropriation in the sundry
civic bill to extend the scope of the
tariff board has waged much more
stubbornly than had been anticipated.
The Democrats have opposed the item
on the ground that the results of the
investigation by the board should be
reported direct to congress instead of
the President. Just before the ad-
journment yesterday Fitzgerald of
New York made point of order that
the item contains new legislation. 1t
is possible that it will be ruled out of
the bill on that ground in either event
Tawney, chairman of the committee
on appropriation purposes to offer the
amendment in another form.
The postal savings bank bill, which
has been reported from the commit
tee on postoiiices and post roads is
ready for the Republican caucus
which will be held Wednesday night.
Practically all of the Republicans of
the house signed the call. 1t is not
likely therefore that the division over
the bill will be along regular insur-
gent lines. The Westerners charge,
that the bill as drafted is bankers
bill and that underits operations their
communities might be depleted of
money and it would be taken to New
York and other money centers. The
differences over the measure are so
great that no one can foresee what
the outcome will be in the house.
Senators Elkins and Aldrich are
hopeful of getting vote on the rail-
road bill some time during the com
ING week but there is no certainty
that they will succeed.
