CRISP SPEAKER !=
The contest in the ITouse Demo
cratic caucus was lirougbt to a close
last night by the election of Hon.
Chas. F. Crisp, of Georgia, Speaker;
James Iverr, of Pennsylvania, Clerk ;
ex-Congressman Samuel S. Yoder, of
Ohio, Sargeant-at-arms ; and cx-Con
gressman Charles H. Turner, of New
York, Doorkeeper.
Congress convened yesterday.
Congressman Wilson voted for
Mills for speaker. yy
Dora Pedro, ex-Emperor of Brazil,
died in Paris last Friday.
Mr. Cleveland expressed himself
as favorable to the selection of lion.
Win. L. Wilson for speaker.
\
Senator Faulkner has moved to
Washington and during the sitting of
congress will reside corner 19th and
R streets.
Judge Daniel B. Lucas and Mr. J.
Fairfax McLaughlin have jointly en
tered on an original literary work?
short,sketches of persons, incidents
and places that have helped to make
or are identified with American his
tory, called the "Hour Glass Series."
A mail giving the name of D. H.
Wilson obtained admittance to the
office of Russell Sage, the millionaire
broker, in New York Friday, on the
plea of private business, and imme
diately demanded that $1,200,000 be
paid to him by Mr. Sage at once.?
Mr. Sage sought to get rid of the
man by asking him to call again,when
the visitor threw a dynamite bomb
against the wall. It exploded with
terrific force, wrecking the office and
blowing the thrower and three other
persons to pieces. Mr. Sage was
slightly injured. Several others were
badly hurt.
A National Bank, capital 8100,000,
has just been established at Blueficld,
Mercer county, this Slate, with Col.
Samuel Walton, well known and highly
regarded here, as its president. The
Bluefield Exponent refering to this
matter says :
"Very able and experienced men
have been choscn as officers and di
rectors. Mr, Samuel Walton is pres
ident. President Walton is a man of
very high standing in both business
and social circles, and is acknowl
edged to be pre-eminently well fitted
for the responsible position to which
he has been assigned by vote of the
shareholders."
Before we shall issue another paper
the Speakership of the House of the
U. S. Congres will be settled. All
those in the fight for the place are
good, strong men, who would give
dignity to the position. Some one
must be the victor and the Blade does
hope that XV. L. Wilson, of West
Virginia, will be the choice of the
House. Ilis scolarly attainments, his
cool bead, bi3 mastership of parlia
mentary law, well fits him for the
place, aud his selection we believe
would smooth over the sore places the
struggle for the position has made.
He has kept himself outside all fac
tions, his position bus been one of
dignity and fairness, which commends
him to consideration. Should he not
be made speaker, he must be chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee.
His thorough knowledge ?f the tariff
question entitles him to this position.
Let who ever it may, be speaker, he
will make a mistake if W. L. Wilson
is not given the chairmanship of this
important committee.?Goshen Blade.
Hon. W. L. Wilson addressed the'
Carpenters' and Joiners' Union of
Charles Town at the Court-house on
Monday night, according to appoint
ment. Mr. Thomas Cockrill presided
over the meeting and Rev. II. P.
Hamill offered pra3*er. Mr. Wilson
?who might have been engaged, like
several of his associates in Congres
sional and party leadership, in "hust
ling" for the Speakership?congratu
lated himself on the opportunity to
talk to his people at home and to dis
cus non-political questions. His
theme was labor organization. After
brief allusion to the history of benev
olent and labor organizations of ear
lier times, he explained the necessity
for united action on the part of work
ingmen in order to meet on an equal
footing, and enter without disadvan
tage into contract with, the great cor
porations and combinations of capital
which have made possible the wonder
ful changes in industrial life in the
past quarter of a century. Mr. Wil
son read and approved the objects of
the Carpenters' and Joiners' Union,
and advised, in concluding his ad
dress, that the additional hours of
leisure for which they properly asked
should be used for mental improve
ment, saying that there was no reason
why a carpenter should not be as well
read as a lawyer or doctor. He fur
ther suggested that they should en
deavor?even if some self-denial were
involved?to lay up something for the
future and secure what would give
them credit and standing in the com
munity; and eloquently insisted that
the man is greater than his work, and
that the organization would accom
plish its highest aims in elevating its
members intellectually, socially and
morally. The Charles Tpwn Cornet
Band was on hand aud played before
pud after the address,?Free Press.
Caution I
A few weeks ago a Band was or
ganized at Mannings, and some un
scrupulous persons have taken ad
vantage of the fact and taken to pro
miscuous begging on the reputation
of the Band.
We announce for the protection of
those who feel kindly toward us and
for the reputation of the Band that
no one was authorized to receive
aught for us, and that those who have
kindly Riven anything have been vic
timcd to the extent of what they
meant for us.
We have selected Thos. J. Dillow
(one of the Band) as the one to re
ceive anything kindly offered by the
good people for the benefit of the
Band, and forbid ail others from ask
ing or receiving anything.
To those who have been victimized
we tender grateful thanks, believing
their offering was made in good faith
and best wishes for our success.?
The efficient instructor, Lou J. Rus
sell, of Loudoun, is now at work
teaching the boys how to toot.
E. B. Johnson,
President of Band.
Makes the
Weak Strong
The marked benefit which people In run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hood's Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine " makes the weak
strong.'1 It does not act like a stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hood's Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
Fagged Out
14 Last spring I was completely fagged out.
My strength left me and I felt sick and mis
erable all the time, so that I could hardly
attend to my business. I took one bottle of
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it cured me. There
is nothing like it." B. C. Begole, Editor
Enterprise, Belleville, Mich.
44I derived very much benefit from Hood's
Sarsaparilla, which I took for general debility.
It built me right up, and gave me an excel
lentappetitc." Ed. jExnrKS.Mt. Savage,Md.
N. B. If you dcclde to take Hood's Sarsa
parilla do not bo induced to buy anything else
instead. Insist upon having

A POPULAR FAMILY.
Jennte : 11 How is it, Kate, that you always
seem to 4 catch on' to the last new thin? ? l5o
what I may, you always seem to get ahead
of me."
Kate : " I don't know: I certalnlv do not
make any exertion In that direction."
Jennie: " Well, during the last few months,
for example, you have taken up painting.
without any teacher ; you came to the rescue
when Miss Lafargo deserted her Delsarte class
so suddenly, and cortninly we are all improv
ing in grace under your instruction: I heard
you telling Tommy Eames last evening: how
his club made mistakes iti playing baseball:
you seem to be up on all the latest * fads,1 ana
know just what to do under all circumstances;
j*ou entertain beautifully; and in the last
month you have improved so in health, owing-,
you tell mo, to your physical culture exercises.
Where do you Ket all of your information
from in tbis little out-of-the way place??for
you never go to tbo city."
Kate: 44 Why. Jennie, you will make mo
vain. I have only one sourcc of information,
but it is surprising how it meets all wants. I
very seldom hear of anything new but what
the next few days bring: me lull information
on tho subject. Magic? No I Magazinol
And a great treasure it is to us all, for it
really furnishes the reading: for the whole
household: father has given up his magazine
that he has taken for years, as ho says this
one gives more and better information on
tho subjects of the day: and mother 6ayg
that it is that that makes her such a famous
housekeeper. In fact, we all agree that it is
the only really family magazine published,
as we have sent for samples of all of them,
and find that one is all for men, another all
for women, and another for children only,
while this one suits every one of us; so we
only need to take one instead of several, and
that is where tho economy comes in, for it is
only $2.00 a year. Perhaps you think I am
too lavish in my praise; but I will let you see
ours, or. better still, send 10 cents to the pub
lisher, W. Jennings Demorest, 15 East 14th
Street, New York, for a sample copy, and I
shall always consider that I have done you
a great favor: and may be you will be cutting
us out, as you say we have the reputation of
being the oest informed family in town. If
that be so, it is Demorest'a Family Magazine
that does it.'*
