WILLIAM OULLEN BRYANT.
The srroves were God's first temples.
' Ere man learned
To hew the shaft, and lay the archi
trave. And spread the roof above them ere
he framed
The lofty vault, to gather and roll back
The sound of anthems, in the darkling
wood.
Amidst the cool and silence, he knelt
down
And offered to the -Mightiest solemn
thanks
And supplication. For his simple heart
Might not resist the sacred influences;
Which from the stilly twilight of the
place,
And from the gray old trunk that high
in heaven
Mingled their mossy boughs, and from
the sound
Of the invisible breath that swayed at
once
All their green tops, stole over him,
and bowed
His spirit with the thought of bound
less power
And inaccessible majesty. Ah, why
Should we, in the world's riper years,
neglect
God's ancient sanctuaries and adore
Only among the crowd, and under
roofs
That our frail hands have raised?

WAYLAID HIS yVIFE .
AND KILLED HER J
A Paris Sensatioa Const De tornoiier
Found His Wife in Another Man's .
Apartments.
Br Cable to the Mornina Star.
Paris, Noveaaber 17. Count
de
Cornulier this afternoon surprised his
wife, the Countess de Cornulier, visit
ing the apartments of a gentleman on
the Rue de Provonco. The count met
the countess on the stairway and fired
three Bhots at her. She died on her
way to a hospital. The count was ar
rested. The family is a prominent one.
The count's Brother is an army colonel
and the count is well known in the
highest Parisian society. He is aged
43 years. His wife was 81 years old.
She was formerly Mile. Genevieve Bi
neau de Viennay. A suit for s-para-tion
was pending between the count
and countess. ,
The shooting of the countess created
consternation in social circles, where
both the count and countess were
prominently known. The countess
was a woman of unuhual beauty and
she was often seen at the theatres, race
courses, and other resorts frequented
by the elite of Paris. She was a
daughter of Count de Viennay, whose
family is highly respected. She was
married to Count Charles de Cornulier
fourteen years ago. and three children
are the result of the anion, the eldest
of whom is 13 years of age.
The marriage proved an unhappy
one, and acting upon the advice of her
father, the countess separated from
her husband four years ago and had
since lived in a private house at Au
teil. Recently a decree was rendered
giving her possession of the children.
The count then' began his espionage
and discovered that the countess fre
quently visited M. Leroux, one of her
former admirers. Count de Cornulier
claimed that a liason was maintained
by the couple, but the best informa
tion is that M. Leroux acted as the
legal advisor of the countess: It is
stated that her father chose him to
manager her affairs.
Yesterday the count watched M.
Leroux home but the contess did not
Siy a visit to her advisor. ' To day
nding her landau before M. Leroux's
door, the count secreted himself on
the stairway and when the coubtess
descended without a word fired three
times, each shot taking effect. His
wife never regained consciousness
after the shooting, dying in the am
bulance which was summoned to take
her to the hospital.
The count was exceedingly calm
upon surrendering himself, saying
"I did it- I am her husband."
He was the first to give aid to his
wife after she fell and asked that a
priest be sent for. He asserted that
he did not intend to kill his wife but
wanted to create a scandal.

dently a boom with the ends sticking

CONSOLIDATION
OF LUMBER MILLS
Twenty or More Companies in ;
i Virginia and North Caro- j
Una in the Deal.
j PLANTS VALUED AT $25,000,000
Combination to lontrei the Market for
Csroiina Pine Belmonts, of New
York, to Finance the Deal-All
the Capital Forthcoming.
Bt Te'.ecraDh to the Mot tuns SU-r
Baltimore, November 17. A mam
moth consolidation of lumber compa
nks will probably be announced with
in a week or ten days. Fourteen com
panies at least are to be included in
the combination if the plans do not
miscarry, and several others, making
perhaps a total of twenty, are expected
tube added. A list of the corpora
tiocs now interested in the cegotia
tiocs and including the largest of them
is as follows : Atlantic Coast Lumber
Company, bf Georgetown, 8. C. ; Ban
ning Lumber Company, of Edenton,
N. C. ; Camp Lumber Company, of
Franklin, Va.; Cape Fear Lumber
Company, of Wilmington, N. O. ; Gay
Manufacturing Company, of Suffolk,
Va. ; Greenleaf Johnson Company, of
Norfolk, Va. ; E. E Jackson, & Cora-
pany, of Washington, V. U. ; Koanoke
ittailro&a ana iiumosr company, oi
Norfolk, Va.: Roper Lumber Com-
nany, or jNorioir, va. ouhojk oaw
Mill Company, ot eunois:, v a.; curry
Lumber Company, of Baltimore; Tunis
Lumber Company, of Baltimore; W.
W. Tunis Brothers' Lumber Company,
of Norfolk; Virginia Saw Mill Com
pany, of Norfolk, Va.
It is said the deal is a result of a meet
ing held in this city prior to the
election.
Among those who participated in
this conference were August Belmont,
of the New York banking firm, Chas.
B. Flint,. Dr., Joseph O. White and
Joseph Auerbacb. of New York, and
representatives of nearly all the com
panies named above.
After the conference the party pro
ceeded to Norfolk and inspected the
plants of some of the lumber com
panies. Conferences have since been held in
New York, and the negotiations have,
it is said, practically reached a sue
cessful termination.
It is understood that all the capital
necessary to secure the consolidation
will be forthcoming and that the Bel
monts will finance the deal, the total
value of the various plants being about
$25,000,000. Mr. Auerbacb. is to at
tend to the legal side of the proposi
tion. The combination is to control the
market for Carolina pine, which is
said to have been much demoralized
by competition between the numerous
concerns in the trade. This class of
lumber figures extensively as building
material, being used in every way that
lumber is necessary in the erection of
all clas&es of structures. According
to a prominent lumber man, it is not
proposed to advance prices, but to
make money by economizing in the
operating expenses and also not to in
crease the export of lumber.
Gossip about the deal was frequent
in trade circles to-day. Ex-Senator
Tunis, of the Tunis Lumber Company,
liiflk Viaa it a mMm at ' TOlfl fe-
turned from New York but declined
to discuss details of the combine. He
admitted, however, that negotiations
are in progress.
Governor Smith, of this State, is
heavily interested in the Surry Lumber
Company. He is also interested in
the 8urry, Sussex and Southampton
Railroad, which penetrates the timber-
lands of the former company, it is a
narrow gauge line twenty-eight miles
in length and would doubtless be in
cluded in the deal.
FIRE AT PH1L1PPI, W. VA.
Business Portion of the Town Destroyed.
Lois Estimated at $100,000.
By Telegraph to toe Horning star.
Philippi, W. Va., Nov. 17. At 9
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
the Valley hotel here and destroyed a
large portion of the business area of
the city.- The fire is supposed to have
originated from a defective fine in the
hotel. The loss will approximate
$100,000. The heaviest losers are Crim
& Bosworth, hotel. 420.000: no insu
ranee. The losses above insurance are
great.
There is significance in the
comparison between the increase in
the native population North
and South during the past
ten years. With little or no for
eign immigration, the population
of the Southern states has increased
from 19,300,000 to 23,200,000, or
very nearly 20 per cent. The rest
of the country has increased from
43,500,000 to 53,000,000, or, if we
leave out the 4,000,000 immigrants,
from 43,500,000 to 49,000,000,
which would mean a natural increase
of only about 12 per cent, for the
country as compared with the
South's 20 per cent. Mobile Regis-

SUNDAY SELECTIONS.
He who helps another shows
himself a brother.
From each object of nature and
of life there goes a path toward God.
Froebel. -
It is a perilous undertaking to
substitute doctrines for duties. Mo
Kenzie. The world is not brought any
nearer to God by the secularization of
the church.
You cannot have much inter
est in heaven when your principal is
all on earth.
It is better to make mistakes
in trying than to make the mistake of
not trying at all.
Ministering to Christ does not
purchase salvation ; it is an evidence of
salvation. W. H. G.
No evil is hopeless except the
evil we love, and desire to continue in,
and make no effort to escape from.
UeorgeMJliot.
Age is not all decay; it is the
ripening, the swelling of the fresh
life within, that withers the husk.
George McDonald.
In making promises it is well
to remember that they are likely to
be interpreted to mean the utmost the
words allow. And something more.
Cautious words will save trouble.
A full, mature life can not be
comprehended by a child. What we
will be in beaven can not be known
to us now, but in Jesus we see that it
is unspeakably good, and our highest
desire is to be like Him.
