The Party Shown About Town-They Leave
for nome Well Pleased.
Yesterday morning the visiting delega-
ton of eight, from Norwalk, Ohio, com
posed of five Councilmen and a committee
of three citizens, were taken in charge by
the Board of Public Works, and accompa-
MED by Mr.. John Porter, of New Cumber-
land, a tour of the brick pavements was
made in the most approved style. The
day was not N especially adapted to
sightseeing, the thermometer being en-
tirely too low for comfort, but the visitors
stuck manfully at their work, and last
evening the gentlemen left for home
we'll pleased with the, to them, new paw
ing material, and in possession of all posi-.
BILE information upon the subject.
Councilman ]. W. Lee was interviewed
by a REGISTER reporter at the
conclusion of the trip about
town, and during the converse
ton which ensued Mr.. Lee said the MEM
bers of the Committee were very well
pleased with the Wheeling streets, and
thought q favorable report would be made
to Council upon their return home. He
thought the paving blocks were more sat
isfactOry than bricks, they being heavier
and better calculated to resist pressure.
Messrs. Williamson, Miller and Finn,
the committee sent out. by the citizens
living along the street to be paved, also
seemed much pleased with the pavement
as laid down here, and thought the blocks
would make at least as good a street as the
sandstone blocks heretofore laid in Nor
walk, while the cost would be considerably
less.

The Grand Opera House.

Condemned to Death was the at
traction at the Grand Opera House last
night, and the play was witnessed by a
good audience. The drama is Q good one
and abounds in exciting situations and
thrilling scenes. The comedy parts are
good, especially Mr.. Jno. Ince, as Con
Daley and ''Happy Dick Turner" in his
cOlOred representations and dancing.
Miss Annie Louise Ames enacts
the part of the heroine in an in
teresting and touching manner, and
gives evidence of musical talent which,
combined with her beautiful face and
graceful figure, is destined to make her a
general favorite. The curtain was called
up on the first, second and third acts, and
after the fourth Miss Ames was called be-
fore the curtain. Mr.. K. j. Dillon, who
played the principal part, is an actor ofno
mean merit, and the audience recognized
his power by plentiful applause. The

morrow.

The Laundry.

A quarter of pound of good starch will
make two quarts of liquid starch. Borax
is valuable adjunct to the raw starch for
collars and cuffs.
To bleach lace that has become very
yellow, dip it in strong soapsuds, lay it
on a platter and place 1t in the sun mois-
ten occasionally.
Starch that Is always satisfactory for
linen is made of one quart of we'll boiled
corn starch. three ounces of gum arabic
and two ounces of loaf sugar.
A successful way to rerovate bonnet
ribbons which have become soiled by
wearing, is to rub them with a clean
sponge dipped in water to which few
drops of ammonia nave been added; then
without drying. lay the ribbon upon a

Why Englishmen Seek American
Wives.

The popular taste over on the other side
of the water appears to be growing more
and more warm toward America and
Americans. The wealthy and titled men
of the Old World are seeking with in
creased earnestness American brides, and
it is erroneous to suppose that all they are
after is the parental Doodle. There is a
charm about American girls that the Eng
fish do not have. The women of Great
Britain are brought up from their earliest
infancy to maintain submissive and meek
regard for the other sex. They are taught
that the only thing in life for them is to
marry comfortably and go into sort of
serIdom for the rest of their lives. No
American girl goes into matrimony with
any such idea. She is bound to get the
upper hand if she can and she has sweet
and brisk independence about her that is
most attractive to men who have met with
nothing but the other sort of thing. So it
is that American girls, who at first shocked
foreign society, are in great demand in
Europe nowadays as ornaments to saloon,
drawing rooms and as prospective wives
to nabob natives. baltimore american.
