MINISTER
SCORES TAX HARPIES
Rev. Fields Alludes to Local Attorney
Who Legally Steals Old
Mans Property.

Taking his theme from the Script
ural quotation. blessed Are the
Merciful.' Rev. W. II. Fields. pastor
OF the First Christian church. yester.
day morning preached a powerful
sermon denouncing the human harpies
who prey on the poor by buying tax
titles at sherin : sales and thus legally
steal property from persons VINO can
ill-anord to lose II.
Rev. Fields alluded particularly 10
one case exposed last week by the
l~ntelligencer in which a well known
local attorney purchased a taX title
10 a piece OF property worth about
$1,000 for 1856. The property be-
longed TO an old man and represented
all that he owned I'm the world. The
attorney. II Is said. is now trying TO
hold up the old man for an exorbitant
price before ne will surrender his tax
title bought at 1856.
Under the laws OF West Virginia,
when a piece Of real estate is sold at
sherin's sale for back taxes. the owner
has the privilege OF redeeming the
property at any time within one year
from date Of sale by paying the pur-
chaser OF the tax title the amount OF
the taxes. together with interest al
the rate Of six per cen per annum.
The old man referred TO did not know
that his property had been sold for
taxes. and therefore let the year Of
grace 20 By.

with the employers of labor for his
work. Trades unionism recognizes
the fact that under such conditions
as confront those who are unorgan-
lied. the u%norganized man is obvious
Iy at a disadvantage"
Mr.. Mitchell spoke extensively OF
strikes. declaring them to be merely
"a method of bargaining. the principle
being that the wheels of industry shall
not turn until the wages and condi-
tions under which men shall work are
fully understood and agreed upon by
both sides. lie declared the main
point al issue to be principle. and
stated that y though a strike is
lost. a principle Is won. In this con
nection Mr.. Mitchell deplored disor-
der and bloodshed in connection with
strikes and condemned such acts in
the strongest terms.

That a reduction In hours Of labor

WAS INVENTOR OF vOLAPUK
Johann Martin Schleyer, German Pas
tor, Devised That System of
Universal Speech.

The name of Johann Martin Schley-
er, who has just died at Constance at
the age of so, is now known to but
few persons outside the number d.
rectly concerned in his work. This
German pastor was the inventor of
Volapuk. which was once put forward
with some plausible chances of sue
cess as an international language.
Schleyer's system of universal
speech was introduced to the world
in 1879. 1t was formed on the basis
of similar artificial languages which
seek to exclude all elements not uni
versal. The sounds in Volapuk are
expressed by twenty-seven letters,
which. generally speaking, are to be
used in their Latin, Italian or German
values. Words are formed from the
European languages. The noun in
Volapuk is the root of the word di.
vested of all sounds excluded by the
rules Of the new tongue. In its final
effect this artificial speech was rath-
er meager medium of expression,
practically incapable of any special
vocabulary. So changed by its proc.
esses and rules were the roots of the
words taken from various tongues
that they were scarcely recognizable
and had to be learned by memory.
These disadvantages of the inven-
ton did not, however, prevent it from
finding supporters in Europe and this
country.

was a Whisky Jack.

Three brokers walking up William
street were attracted by four stuffed
birds in a dingy window, says the
New York Sun. One bet the two
others that neither could name all
four.
The other man knew the ring
necked pheasant at sight, and one of
the other fowls after inspection, and
made a lucky guess on a third. The
fourth bird stumped him. 1t was
about robin size with a long TAIL
quaker gray, fluffy. and had white
throat and white forehead.
"Er-er-catbird." he ventured.
Come again"
Butcher bird No? Well, brown
thrasher just back from Pittsburg.
You win What is the bird, anyway"
Whisky jack" said the wise one.
The other regarded him admiringly.
That's good enough" he said. III
buy on that anyhow I thought you
didn't know him yourself"
But a whisky jack the bird was.
His other name is Canada jay, and he
haunts the camps of hunters In the
northern forests. Whisky Jack is
merely the guides corruption of the
Indian name.
