HERE'S A HowDY- EDITOR
OF THE "INDEx" BECOMING BLIND
We received from Mr.. Ed. Protzman,
the Morgantown photographer, last
Tuesday, a cabinet size photograph
of the F., NJ. & P. depot building in
course of erection in that town. The
building is sufficiently far advanced
toward completion to show neat
and handsome structure, and we
have no doubt it will be finished and
will also be convenient in its APP
pointments. We have been informed
that the citizens of Morgantown are
organized into relay parties that sit
around the building in regular turns
to see it grow, but if this is true
Protzman's picture doesn't show it.
Besides the workmen the only citi-
zen in view is Nelse Hoffman, of the
Post, arrayed in plug hat and cane
and wearing the air of a man who
owned the earth and the fullness
thereof. We are able to identify his
likeness by the length of his nose
Indec.
We are not responsible for this
state of things, but sense of jour
nalistic duty impels us to remark
that it was Prof. Stewart and not
Nelse Hoffman. Now let things
take their course.

FIRE IN KINGwooD-THE "AReUs"
OFFICE BURNT OUT.-On Monday
morning, a few minutes after 9
O'Clock, smoke and small tongue
OF flame were seen issuing from the
building occupied by the Argus and
MIR. Terrell, the barber. A crowd
soon collected, and the lower story
and floors might have been saved,
had the town had proper apparatus
and had it convenient. AS it was,
ten minutes elapsed before ladders
could be gotten in place. The fire was
fought most intelligently, and never
got beyond control By the time
ladders were got in position, it was
impossible to save the building, and
the thing to be done was to confine
the fire and save the adjoining build
ings. On the north was Mr.. Beavers
tin shop, and on the south and but
few feet distant was the building
occupied by Elias Lantz as shoe
shop and by Mr.. VIM. NJ. O. Dawson
as dwelling. This building was in
great danger, and all property in it
was carried out; but it was never al
lowed to get on fire. The burned
building, good two-story frame, was
the property of c.. M. Bishop. His
loss is about $3.50, on which there
was no insurance. The loss of the
argus was 500 to 5000 in type, etc.
A temporary office has been fixed up
in Mr.. b. Shaw's residence, and the
paper will be printed on the
Journal press until permanent
quarters are secured. The fire orig
mated in the garnet, and probably
from the flue or where the stove pipe
entered the fue. There was excel
lent work done. Never did the fire
get beyond control. 1t was confined
to the one building, and was kept in
check so that the house literally
burnt down. 1t was cold work and
mems clothes froze on them. There
We're some narrow escapes. The Rev.
WI "raham and Mr.. Ralphsnyder
came near being caught under the
I mg SIDE OF the building. Mr..
Dawson was caughd. He was knock
ed down by a part of the burning
side of the building which fell ont,
wiz. very unexpectedly. He was
cotton out unhurt. EJonraal

"THE LITTLE PRESIDENT The
Rev. j. r. Thompson lectured here
twice last week His first lecture
was noticed in our last issu E. The
lecture on Wednesday even ing on
"An American Pilgrim at English
Shrines'' was beautiful and philo-
sophical observation on some points
of interest in England, which he Wis
tied a year ago Thursday night he
lectured in Wheeling. The FnteW-
gencer says: Rev. John Riley
Thompson, pastor of the GrAce M.
E. Church, of Brooklyn, N. r., for
merly pastor of the Chapline street
M. E. Church, of this city, amid later
president Of the West Virginia Uni
versity at Morgantown, lecture I'D last
evening in his old church ID this
city, his subject being, THE Gospel
or Dynamite-Which| The audi
ence that listened with close |atten-
ton and evident pleasure td this
popular gentleman's remarks twas a
good sized one; it was made lup OF
leading citizens of all profes sions,
and all were pleased.
The lecturer was introduced by
Hon. G. d. Hubbard, who truly said
that no introduction was necessary,
and that it was with pleasure that
the people availed themselves of an
opportunity to again listen to him.
Mr.. Thompson prefaced his lie cture
with few words of kindly greeting,
and begged the indulgence of his audi
ence should he not prove as q inter-
tanning as he might, for in the n horn
ing he had driven from Morgantown
to Fairmont. a distance of tw enty
miles, in the face of a biting wind,
missed his dinner in catching train
for this point, and was therefore not
in the best condition for speaking.
In appearance Mr.. Thompson has
changed but little. While not SO
enthusiastic, perhaps, as of old he
has lost none of his other dis tin
gushing characteristics. His lee
ture was forcible and logical. The
title, while suggesting the nature OF
his theme, is but slight index to
the chara cter of his exposition.

PLAIN ENGIIsH.--This is the way
a correspondent of the Greensboro
Graphic sizes up a school teacher
down at New Geneva: We have a
graded school with Sc pupils enroll
ed, AZ in the lower room, or primary
department, with Miss Jennie Eding-
ton, as teacher. We hear eonsidera-
bic praise given Miss Ellington by
both pupils and parents, as to her
ability as a teacher and skill in gov
eminent The upper room has A
pupils enrolled, with j. w. WooIsey
as teacher. Mr.. Woolsey is scholar
enough to teach but he has no gov
erning powers-no control over his
school-and the pupils carry things
with a high hand, you may hear
them on their way home from school
telling their adventures of the day
and exclaiming, "Oh didn't we have
a picnic today" DC, DC. We fear
the school in the upper room is do
ing little or no good.

KNOW WHO?- ES.- Somebody
wrote from Morgantown to the Wheel
ing Intelligencer as follows concern
ing an incident in connection with
Mr.. Thompson lectures here: "Stu-
dents and towns-people were alike
pleased to see and hear their old
friend once again. just one little
event happened, though, which tends
to show the peculiar and abiding
meanness Of some people. One OF
the society committeeman approach
ed a member of the faculty-an as
sociate of DR.. Thompson's in his
work here-and asked him to buy a
ticket. This musty classic, instead
of quietly refusing, forthwith pro-
ceeded to empty the seven walls OF
wrath upon the young mans head.
What most men would have regard
ed as favor, he lood upon IS an in
suit. i would rather give $25 away
than pay 25 cents to hear the lecture.

day never forgot anything and never
learned anything. This family char.

CHINESE AT HOME.

Rev. K. Ii. Smith, in paper pub
lished in the Honlulu Gazette of
May 8, has this to say of the unchris-
tanned Chinese There is in Chi
na a great respect for lava respect
which is Indefinitely greater than in
the United States, where there APP
pears 10 be too often no respect for
anything. There is likewise II great
respect for reason. The Chinese are
a peaceable people; and a quarrel no
sooner begins than there emerge
peace takers and reason takers,
who will contriyc to settle the mat
ter fit is soluble. In general, the
most angry crowd can be quoted by
talking reason to them in good
natured manner 1t is much easier
to adjust a disturbance. even for a
foreigner to adjust one, in China than
in the United States. 1t is safer for
an American to travel all over Chi
ma than for a Chinese to travel in the
United States. There is bitter
hostility to foreigners on the part of
the Chinese literati. but this springs
largely from ignorance as to the mo-
tiycs Of the foreigners for coming
among them. Yet this hostility,
great as it is, is probably less than
that felt toward the Chinese in the
United States, where the relations of
the two races is supposed to be well
understood Notwithstanding this
blind aversion to foreign devils PEI.
Sc, it is common for foreigners to tray-
el all over China and never to be in
suited by any overt act. The Chi
nese are among the politest of the
human race.

LIFE.

Life is a fountain, fed by thou
sand streams that perish if one be
dried 1t is silver chord, twisted
with a thousand strings that part
asunderif one be broken. Frail and
thoughtless mortals are surrounded
BY imumclable dangers, which make
1t much more strange that they es-
cape SO long, then that they almost
all perish suddenly at last. We are
emcompassing with accidents ever
ready to crush the Wondering tene-
ments that We inhabit. The earth
and the atmosphere. whence We draw
one life. are impregnated with death
health is made to operate in its own
destruction. The food that nourishes
the body, contains the elements of
its decay the soul that animates it
by the yiyifying fire, tends to wear it
out by its action-death Turks in am
bush along our paths.
