RIVER NEWS

+ RIVER NEWS !:
s9o--s--ees
Its expected that the Virginia will
be ready to launch Sunday, May S.
A big crowd will witness the event.
The Eanawha Dock crew is assisting
the Pittsburs wrecking company in
the work.
A company headed by Capt. Pearl
Burdett, of Point Pleasant, and capi-
talized at $4,000 hos been organ
lied to operate line of boats in the
Kentucky river trade. The company
has taken over the oriole and it is
reported will build neSiboat.
The lengthy account Ofthe steam
boat race between the Greenwood
and Ohio between Cincinnati and
GalIipolis, as published in the Hunt
ington Dispatch is certainly thrill
ing and would remind one of the
anti-bellum days.
The big steamboat war among the
up-river packets which concerns the
owners ofthe steamers Ohio, Lucille
Rowland, Kanawha, H. K. Bedford,
Ruth and Bessie Smith, is being
fought to a bloody fnish--on paper.
The latest dope sent out is Lengthy
dispatch from Wheeling which
among things states:
As for the Bedford, this boat will
also be put in the Pittsburg and
Charleston trade in competition to
the steamer Kanawha. Several i'm
proyements will be made to this boat
and she with the Ruth will make
three boats engaged in this traffic
alone.
The action ofthe hackers of this
new move will in all probability mean
a drop in freight rates on the Ohio
river. The completion of the locks
and dams, designated partly to cause
rates to be reduced, has failed to be
effective as yet. but with the COM
petition that is promised by the new
move shippers will be benefited.

bid on new bulls for the Tell City

will leave Point Pleasant next week,
the handsomest packet that we have

new Lucinda but he will not let her
be inspected at PIT. Pleasant, so we
are informed. -Gallipolis Tribune.

HUMANE FRANCE.

"Of all civilized countries, France
adopts the most humane and righteous
policy toward its convicts," said j, r.
Lanahan, of New York, a student or
sociology, who has recently been in
vestigating prison conditions abroad.
'It has been the French practise for
a century to give to convicts whatever
they earn by their toll during imprison-
ment, over and beyond what 1t costs
to keep them. In America, England
and Germany the state has never rec
ognized the right of a felon to any
part of the proceeds of his labor but
has taken everything. In a few of our
States the inmates of prisons are given
some small financial bonus or. per-
haps, a gratuity in the shape of to-
bacco for their hard work.
This. contend, is barbarous and
inhumane course, and the sooner
we copy the example of France the
sooner we will put ourselves in line
with the principles of Christianity. Ger
tainly, the State has a right to lock
up those who break its laws and to
force them to toll. but it has no right
to enslave them or make money out
of their sweat After q convict pays
by physical exertion for his support, all
the surplus money he earns by right
is his or else 1t should go to his fam
ily."-Baltimore American.

R0STAND HAS NEVER
SPOKEN TO HIS BARBER.

One of M Edmond Rostands most
fervent admirers is a sad and almost
despairing man. For years he has felt
like tearing his hair with modification,
and time only increases his chagrin.
He is the poets barber, and he has
never heard the poet speak. He has
shaved him daily and cut his still plen-
tiful locks weekly for years at Cambo,
but he has never managed to make him
open his lips, according to the London
Telegraph He has thrown out The
most fetching suggestions, made The
most ludicrous observations. given the
most exasperating hints that the con-
versational knowledge of the barber
can devise, but he has never moved M.
Rostand to words either In interest,
sympathy or rage.
The poet may have WINGED, frowned,
smiled, may even have shed tears at the
hairdressers persistent efforts to draw
him, but he has never been drawn. One
does not know which to admire more in
the chronological sense-the tantalizing
torment of the barber or the heroism of
the poet. the poets sufferings or the
barber's pertinacity. Any stubbornly
silent customer must pain a hair
dresser: but the grief must grow a mil
lionfold when the customer is M. Ed
mond Rostand.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-The initial
dealings in stocks today sent prices
downward. Reading was a feature with
first sales of 1000 shares at 1455s@145%,
compared with the last sale yesterday
at 1461s Otherwise the declines were
small and the dealings meagre. Cana

American Sugar were forced a point

PROPOSE VILLAGE BY,
FOR AND OF WOMEN.

model village, within the five-cent
carfare limit built by women and
conducted by them, where the poor
may for the same price they now pay
for miserable, unsanitary court
dwelling obtain concrete home,
sunny, clean, sanitary. with a bit OF
garden where they may grow their
vegetables and flowers. This is what
is to be accomplished by Los Angeles
women, according to the Los Angeles
Examiner.
1t will be an example of what
women may accomplish. AS now out
lined the houses will be built by clubs
or individuals, each house to be
marked with the name of the donor IF
a man wishes to give house he Will

would probably have to become the
property of the city, but the govern
ment could entirely remain with the
women acting with the housing COM
mission of the city.

EXPERIENCED OPERATORS
LOOK FOR GAS MOVEMENT.

NEW YORK. Sept 2S.-While ex-
perienced operators are not inclined to
look for any pronounced upward move
ment in the market as a whole for
some time, they think that conditions
are such as may lead to the develop
ment of activity and strength in par
ticular issues from time to time.
The temper of the street is believed
to be sufficiently hopeful to encourage
the boosting of some particular stock
of especial merit now and then, though
the general market may not be ma
terially Influenced by such operation
There are intimations that the peo-
pie who were responsible for the re-
cent sharp rise in Reading shares are
planning a similar campaign in Con-
solidated Gas, though, of course, all
definite statements as to their inten-
tions in this respect must be accepted
with reservation.

Lutheran Flock Honors Pastor.

Friends and members of St Stephen S
German Lutheran Church, at Hamburg
place and Ferry street, crowded that
house of worship last night In honor OF
the silver jubilee of its pastor, the
Rev. Edward Fuhrmann. An excellent
program of vocal and Instrumental
music and addresses by clergymen
and laymen had been arranged and de-
lighted pastor and people. Several ap-
propriate presents came from societies
and individuals, and the Rev. Mr.
Fuhrmann thanked the donors In a lit
tie speech that deeply stirred his
hearers.
Among these who had pleasant things
to say to the celebrant were the Rev.
DIR. A. Schmidt. of Brooklyn; the Rev

PASSING OF THE BOUOUINIsTES.

The refusal of the prefect Of the
Seine to renew the licenses of the
bridge booksellers presages the pass
ing of one of the most picturesque and
interesting features of Partisan life. 1t
is true that for many years 1t has not
been possible, as 1t was in the far past,
to pick up there for d few francs or
centimes original editions of Moliere or
the ancient classics with the priceless
imprint of Plantin or Pannartz. Even
sixty years ago the stocks of the bou-
quinistes had been carefully winnowed
and the prizes found their way there
after to the auction shops, where they
brought fabulous sums.
But the fame Of the parapet stalls
lived on. and oven in our day few
experts have secured on the bridges
pearls of great price, and the stalls
themselves, the keepers and their Gus
toners have furnished subjects for the
etcher, the painter and the chronicler
Chicago Tribune.
