Was there too much money in the

The Convention.

The Convention at Clarksburg
last Wednesday and thursday had
q mind for business rather than
"gush.' 1t was especially repre-
sentative body, made up of the best
leadership Of the honest, earnest
and determined temperance senti-
ment of the people, 1t was quiet,
practical, deliberative assembly,
taking practical counsel together
and deeply in earnest to adopt the
best plans and lay down the most
judicious lines Of temperance work
for the accomplishment Of the one
grand object in view in the short
est possible time-that object, the
Prohibition Of the Liquor Traffic
by constitutional enactment.
There were present more than a
hundred delegates, representing all
religious denomination and all
parties, men Of all kinds Of bust
ness and all professions, all meet
ing and harmonizing in the one
grand purpose Of Kidding West Vir-
ginia of the legalized saloon.
That progress was made toward
the accomplishment of this pur-
pose, our readers will find abund-
ant evidence from reading the pro
.ceedings at length in this issue.
CONVENTION NOTES.
The Convention did wisely and
WELLS the expressed opinion of
all true friends Of the cause who
were present.
Rev. J. S. Pomeroy, as presiding
officer, surprised even the best of
his host of friends who had never
before seen him handle a delibera-
tive body. Any convention or as
sembly would waste time going
past him looking for a better presi-
dent.
1t was the right and the happy
thing thing to do, to honor the
Hon. Fontaine Smith for his gal
liant championship of our cause in
the Legislature last winter. The
Convention was delighted to make
him President and hear his eloquent
and fearlessly independent words.

We note with pleasure
tinuous, steady growth of p
sentiment in favor of prohibH
throughout the State.
There is urgent necessity
bringing the friends OF the e.
nearer together, and having til
stand shoulder to shoulder in
great work. The people are ri
on this great question, if Il
were only aroused, and would sta
together.
The work of securing local orgI
izations has been urged and prcA
cuted by the State Executive CA
mittee to some extent, but aldd
of funds has hampered their efor}
in this direction.
a good many local clubs or
cieties have been formed durin
the past year and more count IN
conventions have been held thEI
during any previous year. Ell
But the work of organization II
far from complete. El
Our State Executive CommittA
has become recognized as a permk ii
nent institution throughout ii
State, and could we but secure
every county a wide-awake Cou 8
mittee to work in harmony wit
the State Committee, the day |
legal prohibition would speedl
be brought about.
We recommend that an efficien
State Executive Committee be co
tinued, and that they be charge
with the duty of pressing on W
gently in the work of securing eff |
Gent committees in every county,
We urge that every possible en-
couragement be given to the fornI
alton of local clubs or organiza|
tions, a fundamental plank d
whose platform shall be to secure
the submission of the Prohibition
Amendment to a vote of the people
and that these local organizations
report promptly, and cooperate
with the State Committee,
We further recommend that thu
necessary funds be secured and tina
the committee put into che field a.
early as possible one or more live
agents to canvass the State, and es
pecially those counties where Their
has been the least agitation, ant
Organize clubs or Societies, secur
the appointment of local commit
tees, and work up public sentimen
in this cause,
The plans for local organization
and cooperation adopted by forme
Conventions we would adhere to a
a general outline for the work.

are never initiated or counterfeited. This is g.
peically true of family medicine, and it is pos
tive proof that the remedy initiated is of the
highest value. As soon as it had been tested and
proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was
the purest, best and most valuable family medi-
cine on earth, many limitations sprung up and
began to steal the notices in which the press and
people of the country had expressed the merits OF
Fl. B., and in every way trying to induce suffer
ing iHvalids to use their stuff instead, expecting
to make money on the credit and good name Of
Il. B. Many sthers started nostrums put up in
similar style to Il. B., with variously devised
name q which the word Hop" or "Hops" were
used IL way to induce people to believe they
we're the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretend
ed remedies or cures, no matter what their style
or name is, and especially those with the word
"Hop" or Hops" in their name or in any way
connected with them or their name, are imita-
tions or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch
more of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop
Bitters, with bunch or cluster of green Hops
on the white label. Trust nothing else. Drug
gst and dealers are warned against dealing in
limitations or counterfeits.

I 9S I did, Melita; but l acted as

A faint, gratifed smile broke over
the wan features of the gypsy as Mel,
vile uttered the word "both.';
"But Tou appear fatlgued," he con,
tlnued. Il fear you are i'll. You can tell
me anther time-to-morrow-b

He Is badly likely to come again to

away by his time, searching for YOU"
| The zngarl turned a pleadin ing and
, humorous OOk on Melville. "You are
not angry with me? I did so wish to
see you'll" The next instant an almost
angry fusl spread over her beautiful
face. "Ol, why did you come to the
camp? l vas happy till you camel" A
passionate flood of tears, the violence
OF which aook her slen Ter figure like
a wind-t tossed willow, served somewhat
to relieve Ier excited feelings. Then,
as a deep blush suffdsed her face and
neck, she reclaimed eagerly: Gould
not go win you as your servant-your
slave-anyhing rather than remain
here? dale not return to the tribe
Suddenly, as she spoke, her watch
full ear detected the sound of cautious
footsteps on the gravelpath beneath
the window, and in another mor1ent a
man had entered the room.
1t Is Orlando. With look of fiendish
hate upon his grim and pallid visage,
he dashes himself upon Melville, and
the dagger which elitters in his right
hand has cone down with deadly effect
and IN another moment the assassin
is gone.
A piercing shrek ran through the
house, and as the frightened inmates
entered the cBambe they beheld the life
less body of the hspless gypsy girl in
the arms OF Melville. She had cast her
self between Ter brother and his victim
and had received the fatal blow. Her
last dying gaze was fixed on the coupte-
nance of theman she had loved and
whom she did to save!
Frank Nellie is now prominent
artist. He has never married, and is
likely to rem rain g. bachelor until the
end. His adventure with the gypsies
is engraven o. his heart and mind in
Characters which death only can obi.
terate. The place Of honor in his stu.
do is occupies by a large picture, paint,
ed by himself Of a beautiful brunette
OF Is summeB in the costume of 8 gyp-
sy. When aly one inquiries as TO the
name and origin of the subject, he re-
plies in a ton which discourages furth-
er questions: She was an Italian gyp-
sy."
