is kept busy with his saw mill, since
the railroads have commenced build
ing.
Married at the NJ. P. Parsonage,
in Morgantown, on Saturday May 81
Miss Mollie Davis to Otis w. Waters,

Mrs. Bircher lost a fine COW yes
terday.
Florence Simpkins has been suffer
ing with rheumatism for couple OF
weeks.
The dramatic entertainment con-
Quoted by u. Wiedman came off at
the Battle ground church Thursday
evening, May oath, and was a sue
cess both financially and in point of
merit. The selections were splendid.
The company had their pieces well
committed, but one difficulty existed,
that was: it was such busy season
and some of the boys had gone to
work on the r. R., that the man
ayers could never get them all to-
gethcr to rehearsc, and consequently
there were some mistakes made.
The great attraction was the Nor
gantown Orchestra. / heard the re
mark from all sides of the house,
"what splendid music" Our people
here had no idea that you had such
al orchestra in town, and l am in
clined to think that you people in
Morgantown don't know that you
have good orchestra, or your citi-
zens would patronize it.
Whilst ! appreciate the Opera
House band and am proud that the
Faculty of the University nearly al
ways engage bands from my native
city to play for commencement, yet
| think the Morgantown orchestra
ought to play for the commencement.
The citizens request me to extend
their sincere thanks to the Morgan
town orchestra for their kindness in
furnishing us such splendid music
for our entertainment.
Some low degraded wretch, while
the performance was in progress at
the entertainment stole the breast
straps from the band wagon, and
Jacob Shively had to hunt up ropes
to place in lieu of the straps before
the band could return home.
All respectable citizens of this
community feel very much mortified
at this sneaking theft, and if the
thiefis ever found out, he would bet
ter leave the country. / wonder how
those four or five skin flints who
stayed outside peeping through the
cracks, who were too stingy to pay
the small sum Of fifteen ceuts to get
in, feel now.
There will be plenty of work in
Monongalia this Summer for all per-
sons who wish to work. Besides the
two railroads which will be built,
there will be a school house built at
Cassville and several bridges in diff
ferent parts of the county
J. j. Wharton got the contract to
build a bridge across SCOTS Run
above his mill WIN. A. Loar OBJ
tanned the contract to build a bridge
at Cassville. Marshall Miller got
the contract to build bridge across
Days Run. The school house will
be sold ON June 7th.

Well, now, the public
will want to know whether the Intel
igencer is justified in publishing, in
discriminatory, the crude complaints
of every disappointed STRIPPING who
may be induced to write them, by
its well known desire for such. Con-
sidering the University as a house
hold Of persons in the pursuit of ed
ucation, there are trifling lapses from
virtue or violations from the rules of
etiquette always being discovered, of
course. Common decency requires
that these shall not be blazoned to
the world through the medium of the
press; but rather given such atten-
ton in the way Of discipline as their
gravity may require in the privacy of
the University household.
The above is an extract from an
editorial article in the Huntington
Advertiser, which administers very
sharp rebuke to the Inteligencer for
its indiscriminate publications against
the University. 1T has SO much point
and good sense in it that we would
fain hope the unjournal like journal
to which it refers might feel its force
and be inclined to mend its ways.
But we despair of that.

The ". Il. General Conference.

The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, which
has just closed its session was re-
markable in more than one particu-
lar. 1t was historical because it
marks the end of the first century of
Methodism in this country. There
were hardly twenty thousand Meth
odists in America when the first CON
ference was organized. TO day eleven
thousand regular ministers and
twelve thousand local preachers an
swer the roll call who administer 10
two millions Of church members.
The total number composing Meth
odist members and congregations in
the world is estimated at twenty
millions.
The important work done at the
late conference was the election Of
four new Bishops, some necessary
changes in the policy of the church,
action on marriage and divorce, and
settlement Of the troublesome ques-
tion-that is, so far as the church
could settle it. The stand taken on
divorce was strong and just one, in
view of the rapid growth of the sep
aration of husband and wife, on what
is sometimes altogether frivolous
grounds. The report adopted recon-
mends shat no divorces be granted
except upon spiritual grounds, and
that commission should be appoint
ed to secure uniformity in the laws
Of the States. An amendment was
adopted that divorces should not be
granted except for adultery, and
that in such case the guilty person
can not be again married by any min
lister of the church"
The color question has long been
a troublesome one; but this year it
was given an unusual amount of at
tention. resulting in some very spir-
tied debates. The equality theory
was warmly combatted for the reason
that the. church was not called upon
to give an expression of its views, and
that the matter could be best settled
by the localities wherever the ques-
ton should arise. The final action
of the Conference was, "that no men,
Der of the Church, and no student
should be excluded from any place

count of race, color or previous con

ArlENDusm CRIME.



The Baltimore Herald publishes a
dispatch from Webster county, this
State, which says that John Adams,
q prominent and wealthy farmer and
sheriff of the county, became infatu-
ated with dissolute woman. To
free himself Of his wife, Adams
brought suit for divorce on the
ground of adultery and secured wit
nesses to sustain the charge. After
the divorce Mrs. Adams disappeared
from the neighborhood, and it was
supposed had left the country.
On Saturday evening one of her
children, aged Is, who was visiting
few miles from home, in climbing
Mt. Hero, wild mountain thickly
wooded, came across rail-pen.
Looking in she saw woman. She
ran to the nearest house, and friends
returning found the mother of the
child nearly dead from exposure
chained to rock in the pen. Being
removed she said that her husband
had taken her to q cave and kept her
there till almost dead from starvation,
and two days before had brought her
to the pen and fastened her with a
chain.
The place where she was found is
very lonely and is not visited once
year. 1t is supposed that her hus-
band meant to let her die there and
then remove the chain and make it
appear a case Of suicide. The coun-
try is terribly aroused, and the guilty
man and his paramour will be lynch
ed if caught. The wife will die.

The Question Of Co.Educ alton.

sAC StsaCDaAOA VA AOsLOucAtlOu.
The friends of CO education can
not count with certainty upon the
introduction of the system in the
University nert year.
But of this much they are abso,
lutely assured, and that is, that it is
only q question Of time. If it does
not come this year, it will probably
be adopted with rush next year.
Revolutions never go backward.
And it would be strange if the sweep
ing revolution that has brought the
sexes together in education all over
this country and Europe in the last
ten years should be turned back in
it's course.
1t would be strange indeed, if a
system that has become almost uni
versal as the result of practical tests
should be set aside for the old sys-
tenn that it had superseded. 1t would
be strange if, when experience has
established that a boy and girl are
each better for being educated to-
gether; that it is more natural; more
in harmony with the home and So
cial organization of men; that it is
more economical and altogether I'M
Objectionable in its results as mat
ter ofexperience-it would be strange
we say, if a revolution founded upon
facts like these should prove an ex-
ception to the rule, and so backward.
Nevertheless the Board of Regents
may not deem it expedient to adopt
the system at this time. 1t is true
that to those who are best acquainted
with the condition of the University,
this seems to be the most opportune
time for Selling upon the advantages
that would accrue from it. But we
cannot expect all men to see alike or
to agree even upon measure that
seems so unobjectionable and to prom
Use SO much as co-education. The
Regents have the responsibility and
they will dispose of the matter as
they deem best. But whatever be
the result, the friends of co-education
will be in no wise discouraged-they
know it is coming just as certainly
as the world continues to revolve.

Ifthe Republicans are going to fuse

it is time they were making known
what part of the county officers is to
be greenback. So far as we can see
the radicals are proposing to scoop
the whole thing. We suggest that
about two or three of the lucrative
county Offices would be fair share
for the Greenbackers. Say Clerk of

The Republicans do not offer the
Greenbackers of this county either
turkey or 6azzard. In the State they
have simply set up dyed-in the-wool
republican ticket and proposed to the
greenbackers of the State to come
and help them elect it. 1t is an in
suit to all democratic greenbackers
and they will vote with the democrats
who are nearer in accord with them
in principle than moss back Max
well aud boss Atkinson. Democratic
greeabackers will eat neither buzzard
nor crow. Those who go fusion will
partake of both.

If the Republicans mean to do the
fair thing in the matter of illusion"
they would divide the county offices
in Monongalia with the Greenbackers
of the county. Have they offered
to do anything of that kind? "Not
by jug full" The fact is there is
no fusion about it. The republican
bosses have simply bought out the
greenback bosses. We do not think
however that the goods will be de-
liyered.

A Case that Puzzled the Whole
Faculty..

Mrs. Milo Ingram gave the names
of some of the most reputable physi-
clans in the two cities pittsburgh
and Allegheny, to whom she paid
large sums of money for treatment,
but she rapidly grew worse. She was
taken to the most reputable physi-
clans and surgeons in New York, but
with no better success. They had
all pronounced it cancer, and declar-
ed she must die. The flesh of her
breast was eaten away down to her
ribs; the breast bone was laid bare,
and the disease made its way up
wards, causing the breast to become
detached from the wall of the chest,
hanging loose from above. See page

There is no special use of Nor
NAL school located in the shadow of
the University.
The Normal school at Fairmont
only serves the purpose Of keeping
alive petty spite and envy against
the University.
1t might as well be merged in the
University, and thereby save expense
to the State.
Beside Fairmont is no place for a
Normal school. It's q poor excuse
for town any way You take it.
Nobody has ever been able to de-
termine whether the town is set up
on its edge or is standing on its head.
1t looks like the remains Of an Egyp-
tian obelisk that had been carried
across the atlantic by cyclone.
The only use for such a town as
Fairmont is to serve as a curiosity
for sight-seers and curiosity seekers
and for puzzle guesscrs who can spend
a life time in divining the motive of
the man who conceived the idea of
locating town on such q peak as
that, and the popularity of a people
who are content to spend their lives
climbing up its sides ON their hands
and knees.
That is no place for a Normal
school. 1t ought TO be moved down
and dumped in one corner of the
University.

Success of Higher Education For Women

Success of Higher Education For Women
in Canada.
New York Christian Union.
The closing days of April have
been fraught with special interest
to all friends Of Tie higher education
of women in Canada. For the first
time, women have publicly received
university degrees on equal terms
with their masculine competitors.
Five ladies have graduated, in arts
and medicine, in Green's University,
Kingston, the first to honor itself by
opening its privileges fully To women.
And they have graduated with such
honor as to draw forth warm cncom-
iums from Principal, Professors, and
their brother students. Principal
Grant publicly expressed his desire
that all the students of the Univer-
sity might be hereafter actuated by
the same conscientious earnestncss
which had characterized these five
women during their course. The
young man who spoke as valedictor-
ian for the graduating class in art
expressed the warm esteem felt for
the lady students, and remarked that,
whatever difference of opinion might
exist as to the adcisa. billy Of young
women taking university curricu-
lum, none henceforth could possibly
exist as to their a bility.

yersity is as much the property of
the taxpayers who have daughters
10 educate as of taxpayers who have
sons. There is no single word or
letter Of the law that can be con-
strued into purpose, express or i'm
piled, to exclude females from the
University; and we maintain further,
that the Board of Regents is not only
acting against public policy but in
violation Of their duties under the
law, in excluding or failing to make
provision for the young ladies'.
This very question was decided by
Philadelphia court, few days ago,
on the application of lady for adj
mission to practice as an attorney.
Judge Thayer, in considering the APP
plication, declared that "since women
were not excluded from the bar by
act of Assembly, either by express
words or by necessary implication
the question Of a woman's admission
to practice as an attorney rested in
the judicial discretion. He found
no statute or custom standing in the
way, regarding as bad logic the argu-
ment that because thing had never
been it never could be.
The applicant was before the court
with diploma of the University of
Pennsylvania certifying that she had
won from that old and honorable in
stitution the degree of batchelor of
laws. In this very fact the court re-
cognized q marked change in the
temper of society, and asked whether
the courts were to make no note of
these things land the rights which
have grown out of them, or are we
to set ourselves to the vain task of
attempting to turn back the wheels
of time to convince history that it is
all wrong, and to say, at this time of
day, that woman shall be permitted
to pursue the vocation to which her
tastes lead her and for which her
studies have qualified her.
This decision is exactly in point.
Where there is no prohibition there
is liberty. The fair Implication in
this case is, that since the University
was established for the benefit of the
youth of West Virginia, it means
the whole youth and not a single
class or sex. There can be no ques-
ton but that the young ladies may
demand and enforce their rights to
admission into the State University.
But this is not enough. We demand
and we insist that the Board of Re
gents make the same provision and
offer equal facilities for the education
of females as of males. 1t seems to
us a strange policy, under existing
circumstances, that would close the
doors of that institution against fe-
males, or that would at all question
the policy Of letting them in.

The Greenback State Organ
Refuses TO Eat Fusion Crow.

Parkersburg Standard.
The Buckhannon Convention and
its action are a thing Of the past.
We regret that we are obliged to say
that the fusionists have been sue
cessful in carrying out the Grafton
arrangement, and that honest Green
hackers, who, for principles sake,
left the old parties, are invited to the
Republican feast of crow; that men
of your own party have loaned their
influence to promote this state of
things.
They may be honest in their inten-
tions, believing that such a course
will promote the best interests of the
people.
We confess that we cannot see it
in that light, nor can we make up
our mind to bow our convictions and
better judgment to the dictation of
such a policy that will inevitably
prove the ruination of our party in
this State.
We can not We will not do it!
Although beaten by the combined
powers, our flag still waves at the
mast head of the Standard.
On with the fight!
We advise our Greenback brethren
in this State to keep cool, consider
well the best thing to do under the
circumstances. Compromise not your
sselves by any trick or scheme, how
ever innocent it may seem.
Our party has a promising future,
If we be true to ourselves and our
principles.
We believe that good will grow out
Of the results Of the put up job, at
Buckhannon.
You will have learned this much,
that every man that talks Greenback-
ism is not always to be trusted.
Further, that our party is not free
from political tricksters and advcn-
turers.
We say promptly and firmly we
can not, nor will not, support mon
