The Great Awakening In Clarksburg-Illus-
trated Sermons Doing Good.
Special Dispaseh to DE IateEligeacer.
CLARKsBuRG, W. Va, March ia
series OF revival meetings are being held
at the NJ. E. Church South, conducted
by the Rev. II. S. simons, OF Cincinnati.
There seems to be great interest mani
tested in these meetings, judging from
the large crowds that attend and the
number that respond each evening after
the invitation has been extended to lead
christian lives. The reverend gentlemen
illustrates his sermons by drawings upon
canvass with different colored chalks
which harmonic beautifully and are
very effective. The rapidity with which
he portrays different scenes by the mani.
pulation OF the different colored chalks
and the almost perfect blending OF, the
same is somewhat remarkable.
His sermons, or chalk talks las he calls
them) are very interesting and instruc.
tive. There is one thing worthy OF
notice and that is the fact that never be-
fore in the history OF church affiliations
has there been such unity OF action
on the part of different denominations
us there seems TO exist during the pres.
ent revival, and as a consequence the
impression is that great good will be nc
complished.

OF DR.. j. t. McClure's Passionate of the
U. 2. Church.

or DR.. u T. hcClurGh fhstoFtlto OE the
U. p. Church.
The handsome lecture room Of the
United Presbyterian Church on Chap
line street, was the scene last evening of
most enjoyable and felicitOus celebra-
ton. 1t was the thirty.eighth anniversa-
ry of the Rev. DR.. J. T. McClure's connec-
ton with this congregation as its pastor,
and between two and three hundred,
ladies and gentlemen and girls and boys,
gathered to congratulate their beloved
pastor and themselves, on the event.
The celebration took the form OF one Of
the most delightful church sOcials ever
held in the city. There was no
stiffness or formality about it; it was
purely social affair On the wall over
the reading desk were the dates 1850
and 1885" and the word "Welcome"
and everyone was made truly welcome
by the ladies and gentlemen who had
charge OF the gathering. A piano had
been provided and the chairs were
placed without regard to order, SO that
people might seat themselves whero it
best suited them. Mr.. S. P. Parker had
charge Of the informal but very enter
tanning programme that was car
ried out. In opening prayer was offered
by Rev. DR.. b. A. Cunningham, Of
the First Presbyterian Church. Miss
Annie Shaw played piano solo. Prof.
A. NJ. Stevenson, Hon. A. ]. Sweeney
and DR.. John L. Dickey made interest
ing five minute talks. 3fr. John Nc
Clure, Mrs. W. ]. w. Cowden and Mr..
Harry Sweeney sang selections that
were well received. Then refreshments
cakes, cream and coffee were served. 1t
was singular coincidence that the la-
dies provided thirty-eight cakes for the
celebration.
Afterthe refreshments short talkswere
made by Rev. DR.. Cunningham and Rev.
DR.. W. II. Cooke, OF the Second Presby-
terrain church, and then DR.. Mcclure
addressed his people. The talks that
had been made before his were all Of
and thankful nature.
DIR. NIcClure's was one of profound
He spoke with much
feeling, and his remarks were listened to
with the greatest interest. Il
The congregation is looking forward
to the fortieth anniversary with great

to them as all hope he will be, it is the
intention to make that event memOra-

happiest men in the city last night; he
fairly beamed with Joy and the way in
which he received his friends made
them more in love with him than ever.

TARIFF IN THE SENATE. /.
Mr.. Teller Pours Hot Shot Into the PreSI-
dents Message.

dents Message.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 15.-The
Senate to-day, on motion OF Mr.. Plumb,
ordered an investigation by the Pension
Committee as to the justification for the
claim made in circulars sent out by va
rious pension agents that they can pro-
mote and secure pension legislation by
Congress.
1t was an outrage quitting it mildly
for men to be imposed upon in that way.
He asked that the Pension Committee
take letter he had received from q
soldier complaining Of certain agent
and consider It and make q report to the
Senate, so that such swindling OF ex-
soldiers should not be continued.
Mr.. Hale asked Mr.. Plumb whether he
would not allow the name Of that pen
sion claim firm to be stated, so that it
would be made known to the country
through the press.
Mr.. Plumb preferred TO wait for the
report OF the Pension Committee.
After further discussion in which Mr..
Dolph referred to claim agents agree
ment which he had seen, to receive IS
per cent. OF the amount OF direct tax to
be refunded to certain State, the let
ter was referred to the Committee on
Pensions,
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Mr.. Teller proceeded to address the
Senate on the subject of the Presidents
message. He said he had noticed that
Senators who had spoken on the Presi-
dents side OF the subject had shown n
disposition to avoid tho real issue pre-
sented by the President, and had at-
tempted to make it appear that the mes
sage was not OF the character which ev-
erybody outside of official circles at home
and abroad had declared it to be. It had
been received everywhere, ut home
and abroad, rs an attack not
on q defective tariff, not to remedy
inconsistencies, but to destroy the pro-
tectiYe system. II was, therefore, under
stood outside OF the Senate chamber to
be an attack on system which protect
ed American labor and American manu-
facturers against competition with for
eign labor and foreign capital. In what
other country was labor 80 well paid, SO
much respected? What other people
had engaged in such enterprises ?
Did Senators on the other side want
English methods to he adopted
in this country? II Englishmen were
better OF than Americans, why did not
they stay in England, and why did they
come to this country? And when they
came, why did they ever return? He
was not ashamed to point to the great
results OF twenty-seven years of expert
ment under protective system to show
that it was neither vicious, nor inequit
able, but that it had brought TO the peo
pie OF this country richness, a conten'
and glory which no other system hat
been brought upon any other people.

Last spring it was reported that owing to

Cml ccscs OF cannibalism had occurred at

who has since killed and eaten twelve
persons, members OF her family and
Others. She was alive at last accounts.

THERE are thousands Of men at this
moment looking for new homes in just
such a land as West Virginia, where land
is cheap and fertile and values are sure
10 rise. As soon as We can make them
understand what West Virginia is We
shall begin to get them. This is the
effort in which the people Of the State
are now engaged, and from the early re-
sponscs, covering n wide range of terri
tory, we have at least reasonable pros
pcct Of being able soon to start the move
ment in our direction. 1t is, us the
French proverb says, the first step that
costs. Once it becomes the fashion
to settle in West Virginia, the rest will
follow easily enough.
