Prominent Visitors, Their Sayings and
cOmmentsA0oings and Sayings
Of Wheeling People Of Note
All Sorts.
Among the arrivals In the city, was Col.
Jske Keppls, looking as fat fair and
funny as ever. His visit to Western Penn
sylyania was evidently beneficial to his
frsne. Jake will not mingle very feroci.
iusly In politics, this year, but will stand
ia d erjoy the other fellows doing it.
sac Mine Inspector Veazey oi not get
.wsy, yesterday, IS he anticipated. BE
ssslot we'll, yesterday, and was unable TO
proceed with his work, but to-day he will
insreci the shaft at Wellsburg and then
M, b, bly, go to Mason county by the st.
LawreT c.. to morrow. His old friends,et the
sun bsno, "'of st. VIncents will be sorry to
Say ROOu Dy 70 nlLn.
Can't Back Dyvenor says he knows very
little of poi les and less Of the prosec lLng
sttorneyship. Col. D. must have malignsd
the sallsnt Captain when he said he was
keeping his eye "sur uptieusly' o all lie
Democratic lawyers making speeches aE toe
Jefferson club. By the way, Capt. u. Is
not Col, d. by large majority, though tney
both bzlong to the same grand old party.
OF CT urse this kind Of weather is not to
be relied upon. But at this writing the
sky is clear and there is every indication
of fair Easter. Should tomorrow come
clear and warm, there will be gorgeous
displsy Of spring wearing apparel on the
streets and in the churches. Easter Is the
grand Opening day" of spring, especially
when il falls as late in the season as this.
Col. B. w Byrne, Of Charleston, is in the
city on business. Like all Third district
men, he is we'll up in the politics OF the
country and his own section of the State.
SNYDER and Harris are warming up things,
locally, and much interest is being rsni-
festG d in the coming State Convention at
Charleston. Col. Byrne says the popular
sentiment down there is all for TIlden.
The effects Of the COW ordinance are be
coming apparent on thu Island. No longer
in fear of the depreciation of the roaming
bovines, the plant-loving Islanders ara set
ding out Young trees and strawberries and
beautifying their grounds and sidew AXIS.
The bridge company is also planting vii
lows along the river banks, an example
which should be followed by all.
Col. John W. Mason, the tall and hrnd-
some Republican pillar from Grafton, was
in the city yesterday. He flashed 10, In
the morning, plant ted his autograph On the
Mcclure House register, got his dinner
and flashed away sgain before anybody got
an opportunity TO see him. Several newa'
paper men saw his bold round John Han
Geek on the register and seeming news and
politics, made dive for him, but he was
gone.
Charley Howell and Ed. Dunaway are
tearing up the town and whispering words
Of sweet confectionery in the ears OF the
Republican voters. Each confidently ex-
poets TO occupy the tripod in the office OF
J the Clerk Of the Circuit Court, and away
down in his heart each feels little sorry
when he thinks how the other VIII get
| left. Metzrer is also getting in his work
| in a Quiet way and all three are cultivating
the horny hand Of the workingmen.
DR.. Baird has good plan in connection
with the growing interest in tree planting,
that might be adopted to good advantage
| It is to plant the city commons on the side
of Wheeling Hill and in time make 3
pleasant park of il. Every year the water
washes down the hillside and carries por-
lions of it away and by a little judicious
planting of trees this would be remedied
It has beenSuggested that as the boys are
anxious, always, for organizations, they
might form q club AID plant this spot and
take an interest in it.
Hon. b G. Northrop said yesterday that
he took pleasure In testifying to the eX'
oelltnce of the Wheeling schools, which
he considered were unsurpassed in the
country. West Virginia, he sand, lead the
Southern States in improvementin schools
and increase in buildings aud facilities
Coming from so eminent an instructor this
q compliment that is certainly crafty
ng. He pays we'll deserved trioute to
Supt. Birch, OF the city, and Supt. Butcher,
IF the State. Supt. Brown, Of Ohio, was
qually we'll pleased and said he f,It ike
going into rsptures over the Wheeling
schools.
