THE NEW PASTOR.
Rev. DIR. J. T.. Smith at the Fourth
Street Church.

street Church,
Rev. DR.. Joseph f. Smith, who succeeds
Rev. c. P. Masden in the pastorate of
Fourth Street NJ f. Church Of this city,
preached his first sermons yesterday morn
ing and evening to full congregations.
DR.. Smith came to Wheeling heralded as
one of the most eloquent pulpit orators in
the Methodist Church, and it is needless TO
say that expectation was ON tip.tOe to hear
him. Nor were expectations disappointed.
His sermons, yesterday, were received
with the greatest satisfaction and express
sions of the highest appreciation by his
large congregations. There seemed to be
but one opinion among those who heard
him.
His morning sermon was upon the Office
and scope of the Christian ministry, ard
his whole conception of the subject, togeth-
er with its presentation, was mastery and
inspiring. II he follows out in his pastoral
term here his ideal of how and what the
pulpit should teach, he will not, probably,
want for an audience, but will furnish a
practical illustration Of the fact that men
will even go TO church to hear when it is
profitable to do so. The complaint of emp
ty churches is not SO much the fault OF the
people as of the pulpit. There is too much
theology and schism, and too little of the
application of Christian principles to prac
tical hfe.
DR.. Smith strikingly resembles in his
style the Rev. DR.. Guard of Baltimore.
He has The same rapid utterance; similari
ty in manner, and the structure of his ser.
mon and method of thought are contin-
ual reminder of DR.. Guard. He is alto
gether an accomplished orator and sermon
izer, who will doubtless prove a popular
addition to the clergymeu of the city.

THE GAMBLING SKETCH.
Correcting Some Parts in Justice to
Captain Bennett.

One or two inaccuracies which appeared
in the gambling sketch in the SUNDAY REG
lister deserve correction here, in justice to
Chief of Police Bennett. The reporters of
the Sunday paper are a moral set and not
as we'll posted as they should be. The keno
den mentioned has long since disappeared,
having been broken up and driven away by
the untiring efforts of the police. Faro
banks have only an ephemeral existence,
changing their location rapidly, to avoid
the police, who make short work of them
when detected. At this time, according to
best information, no faro bank is in opera
ton. Poker rooms are scarce, and the few
in operation are 50 carefully managed that
the law is evaded.
No one will for q moment suppose Chief
Bennett has been remiss in his duty. DID,
ring fair week he exer ted himself so sue
cessfully that bank games we've deserted.
Keno has been his spe cial charge and none
has been able TO live during his admins
tration. No further testimony to Capt.
BENEFITS efficiency need be shown than in
the quiet and good order now prevalent in
the city. Never has the peace been more
completely maintained than during his ad-
ministratiOn,

FLIRTING GIRLS.
Poor SteubenvIlle Comes i'm For a
Racket.

Racket.
The REGISTER front Office gang, who have
keen eyes for the beautiful in woman, have
never noticed anything wrong about the
Steubenville girls, except the size of their
feet The obSeryant Barnesviile Enterprise
has found something not all right, and says:
Steubenyille has acquired the unenviable
reputation of heading the list OF Eastern
Ohio towns for promenading among young
girls II is said to be a regular occurrence,
evening after evening, for girls in their
teens to promenade up and down the
streets, flirting with any one whose atten-
ton can be attracted. We would not wish
to insinuate that any GAINESVILLE girls
would be guilty of such q thing but
then all should remember that while
many are perfectly innocent and do
those things just for fun, many a scandal
has been started in that way that will stick
to purely innocent girl and cloud her re-
putation for life. The world will not stop
to consider that your actions were thought
less and lust for fun" but motives are apt
TO be miSconstrued and the worst construc.
ton put upon possibly harmless actions.
The best plan, as far as possible, is to avoid
comment in that direction, keep off the
streets after night except when necessary,
and above all do not flirt with any drum
mer or stranger that comes along who may
be far enough from home not to fesr for his
reputation, or whe possibly may have
precious little OF that commodity at best
The Enterprise is quite right, but its lynx
eyed editor ought to come to Wheeling and
learn what modest department really is.
Why a Wheeling girl would no more give
a sidelong glance to drummer than she
would fly. She is pretty fly, though, for
that matter. OF course the Bsrnesyille
girls are quite proper. How could they
help il, living 50 near to Burr's Mills

A pairing Attempt to Burn Anton Rey'
uaann,s House.

a narfnG Attempt 20 Burn Anson bey
mann's Hsuse.
In all of the many incendiary cases
which have alarmed and puzzled Wheeling
in the past three years. there was none 30
hold and brazen as that chronicled here.
For daring effrontsry it completely eciipses
every other.
Mr.. Anton Reymann, residing on, FIT
teenth street, was about retiring, at 10
o'clock last night, when he fancied ne
hoard footsteps in the garnet overhead.
The noise was unusual and he could not
;msgine its cause, but listening more
;ntently. he satisfied himself he rea''-
heard some one walking .
first that the domest'-, - =,
- me garnet and opened the
|-Syr. Immediately he was met BY q rush
OF fame which nearly daHnted him. he
covering, himself he attacked the fire. and
after few moments of vigorous work bad
il subdued. The room contained lumber,
old papers and other refuse matter, and IN
q few moments it would have been one
mass of flames. g
The cause of the footsteps was not 30 cas-
ily explained, but in few moments rope
dangling from the open window
render clear the means By which the
incendiary had escaped. Iris supposed the
man entered the kitchen door and made
his way up stairs. Fortunate indeed was
IL that Mr.. Reymann heard the footsteps,
else in a few moments the household
would have been in a slumber which the
subsequent fire might have rendered fatal.
The police were at once informed OF the
affair and did all in their power looking to
the arrest of the incendiary, but as there is
no clue by which to trace him, his escape
is almost certain. The theory is that rob-
berry was his ultimate object, to be accom-
plished in the panic which accompanies a
IRE by night. Householders should care
fully guard their premises, as such at
tempts are usually multiplied.

performed her part admirably. Her every
action and speech, when buoyed up with
love and hope, or sunk to the depths of ut.

Camille as one of the best that Toronto

great artist"
