AN IMPORTANT ADDITION
To the Already Diversified Manufactures of
Wheeling.

To the Already Diversified Manufactures OF
Wheeling.
Yesterday Messrs. Block Bros, the we'll
know firm of tobacco manufacturers, pur-
chased the large building and grounds for
merly occupied by the Wheeling Grape
Sugar Manufacturing Company, on Forheth
street, and will at once erect large addi-
ton to the already immense house, with the
ultimate intention OF occupying the whole
as a tobacco warehouse and factory. The
firm already occupy extensive quarters on
Main and Water streets, in the central part
of the city, but the steady increase in their
business rendered the seeking of new quar-
ters absolutely necessary. This contem-
plated extension and increase in the capac-
ity of their factory will give employment to
large number Of additional workmen.

Where the Credit II Due,

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR.
A communicated paragraph in ''The STAR"
of Wednesday, informs the public that ..private
letters received from Panama speak In warm
terms of the powers OF organization displayed
by Commander McCalla, U. s. n, and of the
energy and special ability Of his official staff" of
naval ieutenants, and concludes with the
assertion, that "when the expedition 1.-THE ma
rine corps principally reached Aspinwall, it
had reached state Of efficiency which was the
outgrowth OF the unceasing efforts of these three
officers"
I do not propose to call in question either
or "the energy and special ability Of the
official staff, but this is by no means the only
effort supposed from the same sources to mag
implied expense of Admiral Jouett and other
naval officers and of the marine corps espe-
ciaily. True merit is supposed to be modest
three officers of the credit for the discipline and
efficiency Of the marine corps.
1t Is well known that to bring regiment to .
condition of high soldierly efficiency requires
months Of constant drill under competent off,
GERS. Can any intelligent man believe, or will
any honest man assert. that any one or three
sailor officers could, within a period of eight
days, on board Of a crowded merchant steamer
in sea way, make highly efficient soldiers Of
four hundred and fifty men? Could any claim
be more absurd? And let it be known that Maj.
and brevet Lt-Col. Hayward the senior marine
officer OF the expedition, was twice brevetted
GERS were mere f1edglings at the academy.
The high state of discipline and efficiency Of
the marine corps was proved by their prompt
hours after the receipt of their unexpected
orders to service in a foreign country: and old
and experienced naval officers assert that 1.-The
ton, even by implication, as in the present
case, upon either the discipline or efficiency Of
that corps under their OVID legitimate officers
Will certainly induce a response.
The course Of THE STAR has made it relied

"Why don't you publish something in THE

Is wonder 10 me that there are not more acct
dents. The pavements are, as a rule, smoother
than the sidewalks, and SO the children prefer
to play in the street, but parents ought to warn
their little ones against this dangerous practice
The most careful drivers are liable to meet with
accidents on this account, because the chances
are that the children will run into them In adj
dition to using roller skates and velocipedes on

A. TALE THAT AWAKENED AS MANY MEMORIES
AS POE COULD Use IN A MONTH.
Last Monday morning, says the San Fran
cisco Post, as a lot Of up-tOwners were waiting
on the wharf for the China steamer to get in,
old Prof Guffey drove up in the office buggy and
solemnly lifted out an apparently heavily
weighted bag, securely tied at the mouth.
"What have you got there, Professor ?" asked
q friend.
"A cat-fend," replied the professor, gravely.
"a catfish 2" repeated the crowd.
"No, gentlemen: said a cat-fend," explained
Gufiey. That sack contains four cobblestones
and a cat that has made my life burden to me

The Catholic University.


TIONAL CITY.
From the Boston Advertiser
The Roman Catholic university, for the en-
downent of which a large sum was recently
given, that undoubtedly will be much aug
mented, is to be established in the city Of Wash
ington. Several places contended for this prize;
but the advantages Of the national capital
proved more attractive to those who have
charge of the matter. 1t is said that the Mid
dleton estate, which is about two miles from
the Capitol, on the road to the Soldiers Home,
has been already purchased for the site. The
estate comprises between sixty and seventy
acres, large part of 1t heavily wooded. In due
time there will arise here new and beautiful
group of buildings that will be a fine addition to
those already decorating many OF the charming
hills the city Georgetown is the seat Of
the first Roman Catholic college established In
this country, and the noble building lately
erected for this college, with Its graceful epire,
Is one OF the conspicuous features Of the land
scape: The climate, the society, the libraries
and the museums of Washington make it now
very desirable university city, and our Roman
Catholic friends are wise to see this, although,
perhaps, it was not the prime motive in their
action.

Not the Man They Took Him For.

From The Rochester Democrat.
Until few years ago there were two brothers
living in this city, who resembled each other so
closely that it was almost impossible to distin-
guish one from the other, the identity extend
ing to the voice, expression of the face and even
the movement in walking. One of the brothers,
who is travelling agent for a shoe firm here,
boards at a well-known hotel in the city, while
the other has been living east. About
two weeks ago the Rochester brother left
the city, stating that he expected to be
gone some months, but last week, TO all
appearances, returned to the hotel. Another
drummer, who was well acquainted with the
shoe man, walked up with q "Hullo, old boy.
what brought you back SO soon?" slapped him
and, with an expression of establishment on his
face, paralyzed the drummer by saying, Your
mistaken in the man, sir" and walked OF.
Soon another gentleman came up and spoke to
him, but was not recognized. Then 1t began to
be whispered around that the Rochester NAH,
who is very fond of joke, was making game
of them, and every one, even TO the slightest
shake hands with the apparent stranger, even
employees at the hotel laughing at him
when he asked where the dining-room
was This state of affairs has been going ON day
after day, and few will be aware that they have
been speaking to an entire stranger until they
read this article The fact is, that 1t is the ROch
ester mans brother who has been at the hotel.
Singular as it may seem, the brother by acci-
dent came to the city on business and stopped
has caused the confusion, and undoubtedly
some apology will be offered to-day. The Roch-
ester man Is still out -est entirely ignorant Of
the whole affair.
