which he did use to good effect at the
recent June festival in Pittsburgh. MT
Bullock is a cousin oil Mrs. Kate RammelS'
burg. and their voices chord well together
They sang several duOs together yesterday,
and the effect was very fine. Last nlSut
Mr.. Bullock sang at Banners music store
giving Only for Love, and several seIeC-
tions from Mariana TO small but ue
lighted audience. Mr.. Bullock returns 10

II is singular and true not onl% OF Wheel
ing. but of other places, that musical peo-
rle do not get along like little BIRDS III
their nests They cannot agree, 1t seems
and the green eyed monster is exceedingly
numerous among them. The rlva!rlcS anu
iealousics existing in Wheeling between
certain stores and teachers IS lhtehSe'!
. amusing to outsiders.
Certain ambitious BarneSvilllanS are tie
sirous of PLAYING base ball with Wheeling

But they are behind the times. They have

Wheeling will send no team.
During last week the people Of Wheeling
were elated over the triumph OF the Ora
torlo Society in securing such decided
success over all other attempts at chorus
singing. and particularly of such standard
works as the Messiah" and Creation
I that they are going TO favor our sister city
/ of Steubenville, with not only an oratorio
! concert, but an elegant promenade ex'
! Cursion to that burgh on the elegant pass
/ enger steamer ST. Lawrence, next Friday,
! June 80. Miss Jean Wallace, Of Pittsburgh,
will take the solos sang here by Mrs. Oscar
RammelSberg but all the old iayOrlteS Will
! be heard to equal advantage as ut N0re.
The vivaciouS and charming soprano, Mrs.
Chas. Eolf, will sing the solo which caused
.
Nerdure Clad, from the Creation. The
programme has been arranged SO as to show
as much us possible the varieties of oratOrio
music in the two works. The superb
chorus OF nearly one hundred voices Will
render their portion OF the program me as
none but ardent students can do. There Is
without doubt a grand opportunity now
presenting itself Tor the CtlLents OF Steu
tenyille to hear good music, Pnd no doubt
it will be fully appreciated by her music
loving people. An immense crowd OF
our best people will accompany
the excursion, not merely Tor the grand
concert to be presented on its arrival, but
for the trip which will be most enjoyable
one and one long to be remembered. An
elegant brass band and orchestra has been
engaged to accompany the boat and the re-
turn trip will be devoted to those who
wish to trip the light fantastic to their
hearts content. Our best wishes 20 with
the Society and their able director, Prot.
Hartley Thompson, for big musical ana
fnanCiUl success.
The proposed celebration OF the C"ntcn-
NAL OF the siege OF Fort Henry will go
glimmering unless more interest is taken
by the general public. As it is, only few
are doing all the work, and it will be too
much for them. Thus lar the street pa
rade OF the industries OF Wheeling has
been abandoned, simply because our mer-
chants will not rouse themselves 10 an IN
rerest. By a very small outlay, each mer-
chant might be represented by van IN
that procession, which would not only in
crease the display, but advertise himself
ButnO. they won't do it. Like the dedica-
ton Of the Soldiers Monument, like the
public park, the public baths and various
other public schemes, this one, We suppose,
will be permitted to die a natural death.
There is some little growing going on in
relation TO the Boards OF Public Works and
Water Works. The complaint seems to be
that they have not sooner been organized
and at work. However, if the complain
ants will take iRto consideration the vast
amount of red tape machinery which must
Of necessity be prepared, they will cease
their growing. 1t is safe to say that within
a month both boards will be in operation,
provided Council does not ObstruCt them III
the matter Of combinations.
The commencement exercises OF the
public schools will take place tomorrow. at
the Opera House. There are thirty-oue
graduates, but the public will not have to
sit five hours and listen to thirty-one
essays of ten minutes each. No, the essay
lists have been limited to two and One-hal(
minutes each, and two hours will cover the
entire performance. The Opera House
| orchestra will furnish the music to enliven
| and relieve the intervals and give graceful
| variety to the performances.
| Prof. Birch has been receiving compl
mcntary resolutions from the various
schools, OF which he no doubt feels very
. proud Never has Wheeling had school

. lively an interest in the welfare and pros
perity OF the schools rs he and he is de-
! servedly popular. There is nothing like
an infusion OF young and healthy blood,
I after all.
/ The blocked up portion of Seventeenth
street presents very ludicrouS appearance,
TO say the least. The city has made street
/ oj property that did not belong to
| her and when the ownership is settled
. does not like to pay the price demanded.
/ Her water pipes are in the property, but
unfortunately, they give her no rights.

/ Wheeling goSSips are all torn up over

occurring and are very sad. This one may
