CHEAT MOUNTAIN NOTED FOR
MANY THINGS.

Neadowville, Oct. 1.-THE unique
letter you published this week in the
Progressive of James Trotter and his
brother in 1853 to the Postmaster
General at Washington, D. c., in re-
gard to getting the mail through the
snow on Cheat mountain, recalls to
my mind stopping at Matthias Whites
on top of Cheat mountain in Novem-
her, 1869
Mr.. Joseph G. Lang, cousin of
mine of Bridgeport, Harrison county,
were returning from Bath county, Va.
where we had been on a visit and when
we came to the "old manWhite's," we
were very cold, having rode several
miles through the snow, and it was
blowing regular hurricane, and not
withstanding the fact that we had
often heard of the horrible tales of the
"Old Man." killing peddlers," and rob-
bling the mails, I'VE hitched our horses
on the lea side of the old stable and
ventured in the house.
We found Mr.. Whitean old man,
some 80 years of age, straight as an
Indian, warm hearted and kind, and
the half hour spent, we enjoyedthe
warm fire at his hearth.
He related the many experiences
and times he had carried he mail
boy" into his house to save his life,
when he or they had come to his
home almost frozen to death, and how
they had to be cared for until the
snow melted, or could be gone thru
After warming and hearing Mr..
White play few old time tunes on
his renowned "gourd fiddle" we re-
sumed our journey with the firm CON
viction that the "old man White" had
saved the lives of more persons than
he had taken.

CANDIDATE BOWERS WAS
FIRED AS INCOMPETENT

tional or scientific apartment of the
commission, said MIR. Redfield.
The secretary stated that Mr.. Bow
ers had been appointed by President
Mckinley to carry out political
promise and that President Mckinley
was fully acquainted with his lack of
knowledge when Mr.. Bowers was APP
pointed and that little was expected
of him.
Comparing the work of the bureau
of fisheries in connection with the sale
of seal skins for the government, Sec
rotary Redfield said that under Mr..
Bowers administration of the bureau
the seal skins were counted and sold
in London. while under the present
administration they are sold in st.
Louis. Buyers from al over the
world have come to st. Louis to get
them, he said, but the preference has
been given to American manufacture
ers and industries in the sales and a
much higher price has been realized
from the sales in this country than
from the former sales in London
Mr.. Bowers seemed to prefer selling
the sealskins in London to selling
them in this country, the practice af-
fording him many pleasure trips to
England and elsewhere at the ex-
pense of the United States Govern
ment.
Secretary Redfield's statement that
Mr.. Bowers was appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley to cary out political
promise recalls the circumstances of
his appointment. Mr.. Bowers was an
applicant for the position of commits
sioner of internal revenue and was
understood to have been promised it
as reward for political services. But
President Mckinley appointed an
other man to that position and Sena-
tor Elkins then insisted that Bowers
should be made fish commissioner. He
was appointed and for about 16 years
he served Mr.. Elkins and his party,
rather than his country, as Secretary
Redfelds statement shows, at $4,000
year. He has been out of that office
little more than year and is now
asking for a position that pays $500
year.

Turner's love story is tragic. Some
where about the year 1877. while the
great painter was still at school st
Margate, he fell deeply In love with
the sister of one of his schoolfellows
The intimacy grew and continued, and
q few days later Turner proposed and
was accepted. Then he went away for
couple of years &C pursue his art
studies, and during that time not
message or a letter came from him.
The young lady was hurt and offended
at such cruel treatment, and under the
smart az neglect and pressure from an
unkind stepmother she accepted an
other sutton. Within a week OF the
day fixed for the wedding Turner re-
turned He obtained an interview
and pleaded his cause passionately,
but the girl refused to Listen TO any
explanation.

selves equal If not superior to those
built by private concerns.
The ships are the largest Of their
kind, the Prometheus being 465 feet
in length, so feet beam, 26 feet draft,
with displacement Of 1855 tons and
a speed OF 16 knots. The Prone
theus was first intended to be q col
lier but 1t is now being converted into
a repair ship. The Jupiter, finished
but short time ago, Is the largest
vessel ever built on the Pacific coast
1t has length of 542 feet, beam 65
feet, draws 81 feet, has a displacement
of 1880 tons and cargo capacity
of $4,000 tons. AS this ship is pro-
PEELED entirely by electricity, the trial
trip of the vessel was watched with
interest not only by naval officials,
but by all those interested In mari.
time affairs.
Points Of Interest.
1t goes without saying that trip to
Mare island Is worth while. Here can
be seen all that is part and parcel Of
a well appointed government plant;
whether it be in management or
whether 1t pertains to development in
ways scientific.
Two interesting departments of the
navy yard are the wireless station and
the new powerhouse. This wireless
station is the most important on the
Pacific coast and naturally has the
latest appliances Of wireless telegra-
ply. The new powerhouse is we'll
worth seeing, for here is concentrated
the Drawn and muscle Of the navy
yard, as nearly all the work done on
the island is with the aid Of electrici-
ty.
To the uninitiated, workshops are
most interesting; for in these one may
follow the building, finishing and arm
ing of a ship from the time the blue
print leaves the draftsman's hands
until the finished gunboat. submarine
or cruiser is ready for her compile
ment of sailors. In the island park,
twice a week the naval band plays
national airs, excerpts from the operas
and popular music. The residences in
various parts of the island are de-
light to the eye because of their well
kept gardens and the romantic tone of
some Of the old homes or the neatly
built structures of later date.
Here, too. among the tall cypress Of
the park are interesting relics Of naval
history, such as the forward gun Of
the Kearsarge that sank the Alabama,
January 10, 1864; the sternpost OF the
Hartford, that grand old flagship if
Admiral Farragut; the figure head Of
the independence and the battered,
twisted propeller of the u. S. S. Nip
sic that was wrecked with the good
ship Vandalia at the time of the great
hurricane and tidal wave at Apia.
Samoa, in 1889. Another relic worth
seeing is the old Spanish Office build
ing around which linger memories OF
many naval hero. In the building
is a museum where one may find
among the archives of the island much
data that are Interesting Court-mar-
tial sessions are held in the building
and If the walls could speak they
might tell many a tale.
Mare island is Utopia for those who
love the simple lite and for those who
wish to separate themselves from the
bizarre and blare of the metropolis.
After the working hours. when trip
hammer, whistle and bell have ceased,
the island is enveloped with quietude
made more enjoyable In contrast With
the din OF the day.

A fair hatch of strong, healthy

The ewes should be judged very

Silage is the best and cheapest form
in which succulent feed can be pro-

Soft snelled eggs indicate lack of

ground oyster shell or old broken NOR

Eggs from hens that have made a
fair showing in laying last winter win

A gradual change in feeding brought

Some poultrymen feed cracked corn
to both old and young fowls for the
reason that 1t is harder to find and
gives the birds more exercise In eat
ing 1t than the whole kernels.
Here is an old neighbours remedy to

The careless man sometimes leaves
