THE CEREDO ADVANCE. T. T. McDOUGAL, Publisher. CEREDO. - - WEST VIRGINIA. Few men are too busy to criticise tbeir neighbors. It la a pity the bluck spot of Tur key cannot be wiped off the map of Europe. An Atlantic City policeman was torn between love and duty the other day. He arrested his wife. The United States must give am ple protection to all its citizens, wherever they may be. The newest typewriters add and subtract, but they uon’t spell any bet ter than the old ones did. Orders for new locomotives indicate that the railroads are again running on the prosperity schedule. When we get talking to Mars let’s ask: “How old is Ann?” That ought to test their boasted wisdom. The cutting of freight rates goes merrily on, and the shippers can cer tainly stand it if the railroads can. The United States has exported |16, 000,000 worth of condensed milk in ten years.

Before the international court at The Hague can do any loud talking it will have to get some international constables. A Pennsylvania bachelors’ club has been reduced to one member. How did he happen to corner all the luck in his town? Constantinople landlords might raise their rents on the strength of the free dom from ennui which residence in that city now implies.

An Atlantic steamship has Installed a department store and a church, but the two are kept as far apart as pos sible, for their ethics are different. New York city is trying to work itself up to the point of adopting blue shoes as a part of an up-to-date man's wearing apparel. With a green hat at the other extremity? A Gotham club called in the police at its regular election. This is raoro than the most warlike woman's club, not excepting the D. A. R.’s, has ever done. But, still, men will go on hold ing up to ridicule the belligerency of the club feminine till the end of the chapter. The most remarkable fish story of the season comes from the Catskills. It relates the tale of a man there who. to work ofT a lazy streak, went out fishing and returned with!# an hour with a sturgeon which gave 68 pounds of caviar, for which he received $100. The energetic determination to work ! off a lazy streak is the point of the remarkable tale. ( hicago labor leaders convicted of calling strikes solely for the purpose of extorting money escaped with a fine and can count themselves mighty lucky. True friends of labor can only severely condemn the conduct of such men as these who. for their own en richment. make others their tools and lead them to a course which entails heavy loss and suffering upon them and upon their families. The estimates for the fiscal year 11)10 call for appropriations or $35. 000,000 for the Panama canal. That sum will represent a total expenditure of $250,000,000 on the great Interocen 1c waterway up to the close of that period. The enterprise comes high, but It will be worth the money. The ■ United States will be the first and greatest beneficiary, but the new route will be a bdon to the commerce of the wrorld.

Into the warp and woof of American history the nume Ticonderoga has been indelibly worked through years of bitter war fare, and the feet that this historic old fortification, fast falling to decay, is to be saved to succeeding generations through the intervention of a woman, coupled with the fact that the work of restoration has now progressed so far that was possible to entertain on Tuesday. July 6, the president of the United States in the very building in which on May 10, 1775. Ethan Allen made his famous demand for the sur render of the fortification. "In the name of the great Jehovah and the continental congress,” gives to the celebration a place in the hearts of the people of the United States which may not be disputed. It is at the direction of Mrs. S. H. P. Pell of New York that Fort Ticon deroga is being restored. Mrs. Pell, who is the daughter of Col. Robert Thompson of New York, is the wife of Stephen H. P. Pell, a prominent New York banker. Roth her husband and father are interested in seeing her project carried through to a success ful conclusion and are aiding it in every way possible. Members of the New York T^ake Champlain tercen tenary commission are also deeply in terested in Mrs. Pell's plan to restore the old fort, and have accorded her representatives every possible consid eration with regard to the arrange ment of the celebration exercises as regards Ticonderoga. Alfred C. Ros p.om of New York city, who Is the architect in charge of the work for Mrs. Pell, estimates that the work of completely restoring the fort will oc cupy a period of ten years and the estimated cost has been nlnrert nt 1500.000. After a conference with the members of the New York Lake Cham plain tercentenary commission it was decided that it would be best to con centrate the work of restoration upon that building known as the "west bar racks. and this has been done. To insure absolute accuracy in the restoration of the fort, Mr. Possom spent a considerable period of time in personal examination of old records Rn,l prints In the possession of the French and English governments, and now has representatives in those coun tries carefully going over each minor detail of construction. Thus far. how ever, the architect and his workers have found the fort Itself as thorough ly a reliable guide to its reconstruc tion as could he wished, for when the debris Is cleared away from the line of H wal1 fhe old-fashioned door hangers, locks and knobs are found ^ here they dropped to the ground as the place gradually fell to decay. Many ot these old articles are used as mod- I els for the construction of new and I strong replicas at the hands of skilled artisans. Probably one of the most | interesting finds was a roll of home I spun cloth in a fairly good state of preservation despite its long inter ment. Leneath the old Pell mansion, which Is situated on the lake shore just below the site of the fort, and which is also being restored to its former grandeur, an Interesting old hull's eye watch whs found soon after the work was started last November. On the site of the- fort enough pieces of pot tery have teen found to make a com plete service, and duplicates of these are being made at great cost, for the Interesting old pattern is very hard to reproduce. The most of these pieces were found directly below the old messroom. One pottery punch bowl which has been found In a fine state of preservation bears upon the bot tom the Inscription: “Success to Oen. Amherst," and has been identified as a punch howl given him by friends in New York before his campaign in the Lake Champlain country. Any quan fVRT T/COA'OfTjRVGA JY//&Y FULL Y tity of old-fashioned knives and forks hnve been found, a perfect old-fash Joned bottle and many bar-shot, can nister shot, mortar shells, cannon bulls and pieces of guns. Officials of the war departments of both England and France, as well as of the Hrltish museum, have given much valuable assistance in the mat ter of restoring the old fort on his torically correct lines. The records show that Fort Ticonderoga was a "star” fort, and the excavations now going forward bear out the records in this respect. The entire fort was sur rounded by a moat about 10 or 15 feet deep, and in some places 30 feet wide. Two drains which were used by the former occupants of the fort years ago have been cleared out and are now being used again. Two underground stores, one located In the northwest and the other in the southwest angle of the fort, have also been opened. On the tip of the tongue of land which Fort Ticonderoga was built to command stands all that remains of the grenadier battery, as it is known locally about Fort Ticonderoga, though there seems to be no real reason for its being given this name. In 1756 the French began the erection of a fort on the present site of Fort Ticon deroga, which they named Fort Carillon, a name meaning “a chime of bells” and referring to the music of a nearby waterfall. In strength this fortress was second only to Quebec, but in 1750 the English had gained so in numbers and the French had been weakened so by their campaign in ( anada that the English, under com mand of Gen. Amherst, were able to drive them from the stronghold and force them from the Champlain val ley. The year before Abercrombie, commanding 15,000 troops, had made an assault upon the stronghold which was successfully repulsed by Mont calm. conrraanding 4,000 troops. Gen Amherst. following the evacuation of the fort by the French, repaired and rebuilt it. for before leaving they had destroyed as much as possible of the fortification. The rebuilt fort was christened Ticonderoga and was held by the English until its capture on May 10, 1775, by Ethan Allen and his little company of Green mountain boys. History throughout all these years has credited Alien with demanding the surrender of the fort “In the name of the Great Jehovah and the conti nental congress.” and in this connec tion the investigations of Mrs. Pell’s representatives must prove a severe shock, for according to them Allen did not use the choice language with which history has credited him. Ac cording to Alfred C, Rossom, the architect, who has personally exam ined many records of the surrender and has talked with descendants of men who were with Alien on the night of that memorable May 10, the “Robin Hood of New England,” as Allen has sometimes been styled sailed across the lake from Larrabee’a point in the dead of the night, land ing with his small command of 8J men at Willow point, on the wext shore of the lake about a half milo north of where the old Pell mansion now stands. Crossing what Is now the garden of the old mansion he went down a flight of stone steps and along an underground passage admitting to a rear entrance on the east side of th* fort. Through a sally-port he mads his way into the fort proper. In the parade ground Allep divided his small command Into two ports, lining one np at the east and the other at the west end. He then climbed the stairs to the second story of the west bar racks and walked along the balcony to the last door at the southern end Refore this dooi he made his demand for the surrender of the fort.—Louis E. Hhattuck. Menacing the Race.

The lawyer for the defense was so severe upon the prosecutor that the latter rose and asked: “Does the learned counsel think me a fool?" The retort was prompt: “My friend wishes to know if I consider him a fool; and In reply to his question I can only say that I am not prepared to deny it” . I FALLIERES IN STAINED GLASS. Portrait of French President That Arouses Criticism—Is Skillful Piece of Work. Paris.—Charlemagne once visited the city of Le Mans and was so de lighted with it that he nominated himself honorary canon of the ca thedral, an appointment which Pope Clement VII. in 1883 conferred on his successors forever. A Le Mans artist, Mr. Echivard, a designer of stained glass windows,' was reminded of this fact one day by reading an account of a stained glass window in the Church of St. John at Lunebourg in which the kaiser is de picted. He decided that the French president should no longer lack an honor that had been paid to the Ger man emperor, and set to work on a design showing M. Fallleres, the president of the republic, and there fore, according to the artist’s belief, successor to the kings as honorary canon, clothed in a canon’s cope and kneeling on a devotional chair. The modern and the archaic are allied in the design. The cope is thrown back sufficiently to show that M. Fallleres is wearing evening dress and the grand cross of the Lfegion of Honor. The arms of the cathedral chapter, three flour-de-lis and three keys, are balanced by an escutcheon ornamented with the Legion ef Honor and the Gallic cock. Uelow is the inscription in Gothic characters: “According to tradition, Messire Armand Fallleres, eighth president of the French republic, takes President Fallieres of France in Stained Glass. in his quality of chief of state the title of canon of Saint-Julien of Le Mans.” Long months of work went into making the glass after the design and now that it is finished it has met with only a cold welcome. The spectacle of the president, during his term of office church and state were definitely separated, figuring as a canon seems to give pleasure to no party or sec tion. A local art society even re fused to admit the window to its exhi bition, although the skill of its exe cution is generally admitted. NEW NAVY YARD COMMANDER Capt. J. B.
