WHEELISG's Chamber OF Commerce is
now well wound up and fairly under way.
The staff Of officers represents the active
business life Of the city. Such an institu-
ton has been greatly neededin Wheeling.
Indeed, it has been the marvel Of strangers
that in place Of this importance, doing
so large volume of business, there has
been nothing Of the kind. Cities Of less
size, and much less business, have been
tsr ahead Of Wheelingin this important
regard. The Chamber Of Commerce
ought to command the active support Of
citizens Of all classes, for, II successful, IT
will promote the general welfare. ltgiyes
every promise Of q successful and useful
career.

Pans, May ss.-Dr. proust has been
sent by the government 10 Marseilles to
advise upon measures for preventing a
repetition et last years cholera scourge.
There are some indications that the au.
thosities are waking up to The tae. that
cleanliness is what is needed. There have
been some attempts to render Marseilles
and Toulon less filthy, but they large.
ly failed because ofpuhlie Indifference.
The Spanish Govetamelt's prohibition
OF farther iaoealaiions by DR.. Ferran
Ia esteAAhly due to the TACT that some
persons who had been subjected to the
treatment died. III. Ferran, however,
points 10 the fact that out Of 0 coo persons
inoculated with the cholera germ the
deaths, II any, have been so few as to
escape record. He does not see how the
Government commission OF inquiry now
at work can fail 10 report iayorably on his
system, In view OF such results as these.
The Doctor, however, cares nothing about
the result except from humanitarian
point OF view, and says that Il the Spanish
Government will not let him save the peo-
pie from cholera In Spain he will visit
Paris and London, aud sxpound the sys.
iem in public there, hoping TO secure its
adoption by soaae government.
