Henry Ford Out For Wilson.

Henry Ford, the automobile manu-

last week that he was for President Will

has done" In an interview, published
in the San Francisco Bulletin, Mr.. Ford
said

A Reminder of James Rumsey.

Miss Helen B. Pendleton, of Newark,
N. J., who has been in Shepherdstown
recently, has many valuable and interest
ing papers that belonged to her grand
father the late Hon. Alexander R. Boteler,
of this place, and among them are a
number relating TO James Rumsey, in
ventor of the steamboat. Col. Boteler,
it will be remembered, gave much time
and study to the Rumsey matter, and
knew more OF the history and details of
the inventors work than any other man.
When Col. Boteler's home, Fountain
Rock" was burned by Union troops in
1864, there were in the house the boiler
and chain which were part OF the ma
chinery of RumSey's boat, which Col.
Boteler had secured and which he priced
very highly. The chain was afterward
recovered from the ruins, but the boiler
was not, and has doubtless rusted away
in the hall century that has elapsed. The
following receipt, now in the possession
Of Miss Pendleton, shows the ultimate
disposal OF the chain:
The Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington has received chain, part OF the
machinery Of the first Steamboat built by
James Rumsey in 1856 al Shepherdstown,
Virginia, TOR which the Institution returns
a grateful acknowledgment to Mr.. A. r.
Boteler.

The Worlds Largest Fish.

Once upon a time, one million years
ago. so the archaeologists say, there lived
in the ocean family OF sharks so gigan-
tic that Jonah'S whale, by comparison,
wonld only be little larger than bait.
Their gaping jaws opened as wide as
garage doors and were fully nine feet
across, with an opening OF more than six
feet in height. When this fish dined on
his sea food, his jaws orunched down
with the force Of hydraulic press and
ground, with teeth one-half foot high, the
hundreds OF bony fish upon which he
Subsisted.
This leviathan, called the Carcharodon
Megalodon, is one OF the latest additions
10 the hall Of fossil fishes OF the American
Muesum OF Natural History in New York.
In the phosphate deposits off the coast Of
South Carolina were found number Of
teeth ranging in size from two TO six
inches and similar in shape TO those OF
the great white shark or man. eater. The
Carcharodon. according to the conclusions
OF the archaeoIoglstS, was simply man.
eater, in larger edition.
The teeth, OF which vast number
were found, have been arranged as they
are found in the present man-eater.
Comparing the size Of the teeth OF the
restored Carcharodon with those Of the
largest living shark. whose teeth are
three inches high, and whose length is
forty feet, it is estimated that the Car
charodon was at least so or 90 feet long.

Why They Are Swearing
Institution,
Washington, Nov. %, 1866.

A suit in chancery in behalf OF the es-
tate OF the late J. V. Shipman against one
hundred OF the leading citizens Of the
county has been instituted in the Jefferson
Circuit Court. The writ giving notice OF
the suit was served the first OF the week,
and created a sensation. Perhaps no
court proceeding in years has provoked
quite as much profanity. Alarge majority
ofthe defendants reside in or near Charles
Town. Their comments on the institution
OF the suit have made the atmosphere
hereabouts sulphurous ever since. The
defendants had subscribed to stock in the
Charles Town Board of Trade, which was
incorporated in the autumn of 1914. The
subscription contract provided for the
payment OF ten dollars year for three
years on each share taken. For various
reasons, among them being charges of
extravaganza and miSmanagement on the
part OF officials Of the board, many Of the
subscribers lost interest in it. Some OF
them refused to pay even the first in
stallment on their stock, and many more
OF them refused TO make payment on the
second instalIment. Meanwhile tile board
was contracting some debts, one OF them
being due TO J. V. Shipmah, who had
done some clerical work for the Board OF
Trade. The board having no assets other
than the unpaid stock subscriptions, IFS
creditors have no alternative, if they
really want what's coming TO them. but
to sue the delinquent stock subscribers
hence the profanity wherewith the town
was deluged the first ofthe week k.-CharieS

In A CaImer Moment.

The topic having turned 10 the subject
of regret, this story was recalled by Sem
ator Henry F. Hollis OF New Hampshire {:
A German named Adam became de-
pressed over the wobbly way in which
the world was moving, and in a hastY
moment jumped from the town wharfinto
the river. The crowd on returning from
the river after frui.less endeavor was
met by party named Jacob.
"Vat vas it ?" queried Jacob, looking
over the long faced bunch. "Vat vas all
der troubles apout ?"
"Adam," answered one OF the party.
"He just committed suicide by jumping
into the river"
"Poor old Adam I" mournfully COM
mented Jacob. "He be sorry for dat to-
morrow"

The commissioners informed Mr..
Huffman that it was beyond the juris-
diction of the county to make change
and advised him to take the matter
up with the state commission.
Farmers living in this vicinity be-
lieve that an overhead crossing should
be arranged here and have recon-
mended to the state commission that
a viaduct be built to take the road
over the tracks The cost is estimat-
ed at $4,000. According to County
Attorney Hoelscher, the railroad CON-
pany would be required to pay for
three-fourths of the cost and the coun-
ty for one-fourth.
Several serious accidents were mar
rowly averted last winter, Mr. Huff
man said, and he considers the cross
ing the most dangerous one in the
county A bell signal was installed
several years ago, but has proven I'M
satisfactory, especially in winter when
the snow and sleet interfere with its
operation.
