A Siore in Wliiili Nothing is Ever Sold. In Bambricjge, Geauga county, O., not far from Cleveland, is the queer est country general store I ever Tan across. Bainbridge is a small hamlet but the store is as large and as well tocked.as the average suburban store. It is kept ttett is precisely ihe word for. it by an old widower, ' who has no relatives in that section of the country, and is practically a hermit. When the A Question. The publisher ot a newspaper has . one thing" to sell and , one thing to rent. He has the newspaper to sell and the space in his columns to rent. i Can anyone inform us why he should , wortj be, expected to' give away either the one or the. other? He can do so if he chooses, and he does, ss a matter of fact, furnish . a great Heal of apace rent free. But it does not follow that he aught to be expected todso. It ought to be recognized as a contribu tion, exactly, as would be the giving away of sugar or coftee by a grocer. But, strange to say, it is not looked upon in that light at all, yet every body knows that the existence of a newspaper depends upon the rent of its space and the sale of the paper, as a merchant's success depends on sell ing his goods instead ot giving them ; away. Ex. ' ,. . ; civil war begitn he was running a flourishing general store m Bainbridge, land made money rapidly during 4 the succeeding leur years. When peace was declared, prices, which had been greatly inflated, took a sudden drop. The old fellow be lieved that mis would be followed by a boom which would send prices sky ward a gain and refused to sell his goods for less than he paid for triem. Down went) the prices down, down, down a'nd finally he was fofteed to, close his store for want of purchasers. i Today his storstands almost ex actly as it did thirty yeass ago.

McKinley had pressed the, button; ! the ' machinery had started at 12:14 o'clock. The exercises in the auditorium ended and the people gathered around the im mense fountain representing electrici ty built by Morrettji to witness the ceremony of its presentation to and acceptance by Mrs. V.

These cabins are genuine as certified by affidavits in the pos session of the owner aud exhibitor. The Rev. W. G. Brigham, a Meth odist minister, while travelling a cir cuit which embraced parts of Todd and Hardin counties, Ky., boughftthe two log cabins and the land on which they stood. One of the cabins was built by Tom Linkhorn, and in it, he lived with his wife, Nancy Hanks. In this cabin, without a floor Abe Lin coln was born in the year iSog Ev ery log, except a few that did nof withstand the ravages of time and the weather, is preserved. The other cabin is the one in which the President of the late Confederacy was born. It came -frornfnear Fair view, Todd county, Ky. ;f Mr. Davis was born here in 1808, arid when 66 years old was given a baronet by old citizens of Fairview in the siame cabin. Tn responding to a toast he referred to the fact tliat he had stood in the halls of the Montezumas, in the halls of congress and in other- historic places in America and other countries but none of these had stirred his emotions as much as when once again standing in the old cabin in which he was born.

Forty Acres and a Mole Nowhere, Weclnesday night as usual, one of the guy ropes gave away, allowing the forward guilderfluke to fall and break as it struck the flunker-flopper. This of course as anyone who knows"any- Pthing about a press will readily un derstand, left the gang-plank with on ly the flip-flap to support it, which also dropped and broke off the wap-per-choke. This loosened the fluk ing between the ramrod and the fib bersnatcher, which .also caused trou ble. The report that the trouble was caused by over-indulgence in intoxi cating stimulants by ouFself is a tissue of falsehoods, the peeled appearance of our right eye being caused by' our going into the hatchway of the press in our anxiety to start it, and pulling the coupling pin after the slapbung was, broken, which caused the dingus tp rise up and welt us in the optic. We expect a brand new gilderfluke on this afternoon's train. ;Ex. Washington; May V The Senate committee which has; undertaken the ''it investigation of the I workings of the civil service laws, held its' second meeting today. Senators Pritchard; Lodge and Clinton conducted the in vestigation. The; civil service com mission was represented by President Proctor and Mr. C R. Wales. Let ters were presented from Secretary of the Navy Long and Postmaster-General Gary, reccom mending that the civil service laws sjboiild be continued, but giving ' thev opinion that they should be modified, although they reccommecded no changes. F. W. Palmer, the Public printer, said : "As applied to this office which is simply a great manufacturing plant involving varied branches of I skilled labor cf high grade, the civil; service rules are an obstruction, rather , than an aid tq efficiency and: economy. The rules as prom ulgated loir enforcement here should be ? modified, radically sus pended or repealed." A number of witnesses" testified to the alleged ir regularity in dismissals. The inquiry will proceed next Saturday. v H. D. Hall, a claim agents of this place, is engaged in an enterprise that has'created some comment. The ne- groes are ( in great hopes over the prospects presented to them. The matter is in the shape of a pe tition, which Mr. Hall has in charge and which is being freely signed, by the colored people, men and women. In brief the petition is to be sent to Washinngton to ask for a bill to be presented to enable all the old slaves to draw a bounty. - CHUJiCHlSS. -St. Timothy's Episcopal church," Rev. F. C.

' : This beats' in liberality the 40 acres and a mule that was confidently ex pected by the colored people just af ter the war. The more . intelligent colored people do not approve of this scheme. They know that it is all moonshine, and that such an idea is as impossible of realization as any project that could be conceived of. Now that the peas need picking and other work can be obtained in the field i tiese poor, ignorant colored ones.of the race should be left to pur sue an honest living instead of having rainbow colored visions held up ; be fore them to create discontent and idleness.
