lie scorned the Double ID,

One Of Lincoln's most .esteemed
friendswas old ex- Governor Tod of Ohio.
Hewts a quaint old character, and Lin
coin loved him for his honesty, ability
and native shrewdness. One evening
when Tod was in town Lincoln invited
him over to the White House. They had
along chat together, when Lincoln finally
said: "Look here, Tod. how lis 1t that
you tpell your name with only one az
| married Todd, but she spelled her
name with two ds. All of her relatives
do the same. You are the first Tod /
ever net who spelled his name with so
few letters" Old Tod looked at Lin
coin for a moment in his peculiarly
quiZing manner, and then replied: "Mr.
Pres dent, God spells His name with
only ne d, and what is good enough
for c Codisgood enough for me- Lincoln
used to repeat this story to his most In
timste friends, and every timehe did 80
he vould ldlaughuntil the tearsran down
over that furrowed but grand face.

The tendency 70 substitute steel for

The tendency to substitute steel for
iror. wherever possible was never
strynger than at present. Throughout
Pennsylvania and the West q number
Of plants for the pneumatic process
have been recently established, and in
Tennessee extensive preparations are
nov in progress for converting the pure
mi gnetic ores Of the North Carolina
mi iuntains into Bessemer steel, The
tria Of the new process known as the
"dsphospherization' or " basic" pro-
ce,Is by the Pottstown Iron Company
has been very satisfactory, and It can
be proftably applied to the iron de-
pc sits of the Appalachian system, which
CO ntains phosphorous. In the manu-
fasture Of nails, steel Is rapidly taking
tie place OF iron, as steel-nail plates
can be produced at cheaper rate, and
tie product is of superior quality.

Taking Photographs Of the stars.

There has been introduced at the
Paris observatory an apparatus speci-
ally designed for photographing the
heavenly bodies, and NJ. Mouchez,
director Of the observatory, has pre-
sented to the French academy of
sciences, a chart obtained by this
wonderful method. This map contains
small section Of the milky way and
presents to view flve thousand stars,
ranging from the sixth to the fifteenth
magnitude. In view Of the fact that
there are forty-one thousand superficial
degrees in the ornament, it is estimated
that representation of the whole sur
face, completedin the same way, would
require six thousand similar sections,
forming one thousand five hundred
ecliptical charts. 1t is further esti-
mated gigantic as such work appears
that, If it were undertaken by six or
eight, observatories, favorably stu
ated in the two hemispheres, the
work might be concluded in five or
six years, and would contain photo
graphs of 2oOoo.Ooo stars, down to the
fifteenth magnitude. h

Facts Are Facts.

The abettOrs of those who have been
trying to intimidatc and blackmail Wheel,
ing citizens, have attempted to deny the
statements from the managers of various
newspapers, published in yesterdays
REGISTER. These statements are repro
duced this morning. Any man whOdoubts
their authenticity can satisfy himself by
calling ut this Office where the originals
can be seen, and it is no use for any party,
or parties, to try to deceive the public by
buster and statements without proof. .
1t is a well known fact that tramp"
printers have always been anxious to seek
work in Wheeling offices, as the work to
be done, type and the price paid was such
rs to make Il sit on n Wheeling paper
both desirable and profitable. Wheeling
has the reputation among printers all over
the country of being II of the best of Its
size in the United States.
Solar as the type used in the offices OF
the Wheeling dailies is concerned, men
who have worked in printing offices for II
years say that few offices have '~'fatter'
type. But ever if the type were lean
as some allcge it to be, the difference in
the amount set per day, compared with
fat type, would perhaps be less than lOO
ems. This difference is 50 insignificant
that no one who has anything else fol-
argument will not mention it. Still some,
for want of anything better are trying to
mislead the public by this slender thread.

At this juncture the reporter was sure
he saw an unread proof lying on his desk
waiting for him, so he left for the once,
with this parting salute following after
him:
Come and see me some time when I'm
on top and I'll make it pleasant for you,
Such is the true history of one gamblers

that a bigger-hearted set of men never

I PITTsBURG AND WHEELING.

4 Contrast Between the Newspapers IL
the Two Cities.
The gone-out printers and their organ,
the Ecening Detamer, are making a grea'
fuss Just now because the Wheeling pa
pers are not able to pay as much for com
position as those printed in Pittsburg. TIC
give the public some idea of the difference
in the circumstances surrounding papers
in the two cities, we print a short extract
from a letter in our possession, which we
can show to any one wishing to see 1t:
'Our regular issue has a circulation o.
80. 600 copies, and an article of the XII
Won mention will be twenty-five cents pei
line. Eighteen hundred words will abouthll
two columns, and would be $780,"
This is an extract from a letter written
and signed by 4. Phil, advertising manager
of the PittSburg Dispatch, in answer to an
inquiry made by q gentleman concerning
the cost of two columns of reading matter
in the paper mentioned above.
In Wheeling we get 1Oc. per line for
such matter in single lines, while in Pitts
qurg 25c. is charged. The Dispatch, to
carry on its business, does not need any
more extensive plant than does the REGIS
TER. Their taxes are not necessarily
greater. They do not need twice
as large force of either
editor clerks. Their composition is
not twice the amount ofours, and the pa
pcr used in each single issue is not twice
as large rs ours. Their thirty thousand
subscription will pay for all the extras
they have, and still they sell their paper,
daily and Sunday at 20 cents per sweek
while we only get IS cents. While the
Pittsburgh Dailies are not possibly under
twice the expense of the Wheeling papers,
their regular prices for advertising are
twice and a baltimore than ours, and the
circulation five times rs much. And yet
the printers and their organ do not see
why Wheeling can not pay as much for
composition as the Pittsburgh papers, do.
NAnd again. PittSburg has during the past
three years enjoyed an exceptional boom
and has increased in population with
greater rapidity than any 'Other city in the
Union excepting Minneapolis and Kansas
City, while the last census of Wheeling
shows a decrease in population of four
hundred and the entire community from
the labOrer to the capitalist has cried de
preston and hard times. We only wish
we had a business which would us well
Justify us ~inI..paying III compoSitors Az
cents as that of Pittsburg papers does the
paying of their price.

1.-THE LATEST AGONIES'
A Few Valuable Pointers for Men Who Wish
to be in Style.
THE MOST RECENT FASHIONS
In Gentlsmsn's Wearing Apparel, from the
Hat Down to the Shoes.
OUR ARTIST GETS IN HIS WORK

For a man to keep up with the fashions
requires som cash, but while many Wheel
ing gentlemen haven't too much of that
useful article, they yet manage to follow
the raging fashions pretty well. Realizing
this fact, and thinking the boys would
like to have a few pointers on the --latest
agonies," a REGISTER reporter ambled
around among some of the dealers in mems
outfits, yesterday, and questioned them
regarding what to wear to be fashionable,
and he gives what he learned to the public,
free gratis.
We will begin with the head and go
down, which programme first takes in the
subject of hats. While an African King
thinks himself well clad if he wears, be-
sides his native mOdesty, a high hat,
clothes take the place of native mOdesty
with many of us in civilized countries, but
the silk hat still holds a high position

The number of people annually afflicted
with this most annoying malady seems to
be greatly on the increase. The
editor of this journal is an annual victim,
and with a view to discover n specific, has
tried numerous remedies. Of these, "Ely's
Cream Balm" is by all odds the quickest
and most satisfactory, two applications
greatly allayingthe usual symptoms in the

use by all subject to hay fever, and we
gladly bear unsolicited testimony to its

Excitement In Texas

Great excitement has been caused in the
vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the remarka-
BILE recovery of Mr.. J. II. Corley, who was
so helpless he could not turn in bed, or

ing of consumption. A Trial Bottle of DIR
Kings New Discovery was sent him..
Finding relief he bought a large hattie and
a box of DIR. Kings New Life Pills; by the
time he bad taken two boxes Of Pills and
two bottles of the Discovery, he was well
and had gained in flesh thirty-4lx pounds.

ineSs shirts vii also be white, whatever
the color of the shirt, and calered shirts
will he as fashionable for business dress as
ever. White handkerchiefs, with narrow
hem-stitched borders, are the only things
for dress, but narrow colored borders will
appear on 4ndress kaudkerchiefs. Winter
does not bring much of any change in
handkerchiefs.
As the tendency is toward quiet and
unObtrusiveness in suits, the tendency in
scarfs and ties is toward lOudness. Scarfs
and suits are complimentary tc one anOth-
er, and the quiet suit leads up to a strik-
ing hectic, or the quiet necktie subdues
the loudness of the suit. This year the
quietness of the suit necessitates q bril-
liant scarf. broad 'feur-in-hands" solid
%oolors, in stripes, or in sold colors with
large spots are to be the fashionable style

of scalf. For those who do not or cannot
tie their own scarfs, the same patterns are
made up in different styles.
The fashions in iewelry for men change
little from year to year, and what change
there is arises generally from n change in
a mans costume necessitating one in his
jewelry. Cuff buttons will not be
worn this year, links taking their place al
mast entirely. These links, as a rule, will
be of the worked gold, heavy and solid.
Some will have stones inserted, but the
palmer and heavier one will be the more
fashionable.
Scarf pins this year are very small, Ia
dies and gentlemen wearing pins of the
same stock. The latest things in scarf
pins are made in the shape of birds, beasts,
and conventional figures, such rs dragons,
cut from sea shells. The tendency is to-
ward small pins, stones in small settings
being fashionable. Enamelled gold will
also be correct, but the large and elaborate
pins of former years have no show now
