The next meeting of the West
Virginia Educational Association
will be held at Morgantown, and
will begin Tuesday, July the 9th,
and will continue three days. This
is the decision of the Executive
Committee, into whose hands was
committed by the association, the
duty of selecting suitable place.
The State Normal Institute will
be in session at the time the Associ-
alton meets, but will adjourn during
these three days in order to give
members the opportunity to attend
the meetings of the association.
Those who attend the State Normal
Institute, will thus have the oppor-
tunity Of attending the State Asso-
citation as a part Of the Institute.
Morgantown will be delightful
place for the meeting, and We un-
derstand, the association will be
warmly welcomed by the people of
Morgantown, and that the Normal
Institute will take an active interest
in furthering the success of the
association. There should be a
large attendance. ". Ia. School

THE REPUBLICAN IDEA OF HON,
ESTY,

The ARGUR always notes with
interest what its esteemed cotempo-
rary, the Journal, has to say. Its
quotations from the Philadelphia
Times, Independent, not Democratic
as the Journal says, concerning
John Wanamaker's business quail
lications has nothing to do with
John Wanamaker the corruptionist.
Some of the most expert business
men in the country are serving u
term in State prisons, while others
Of the same class are of on "vaca-
ton" to foreign chimes. The fact
Of their being first-class business
men does not mitigate their crime
in the eyes OF honest men and the
laws Of their country, if it does en-
title them to q life membership in
the Republican party. And the
fact that John Wanamaker is u man
of fine business qualifications does
not exonerate him for the 400, 900
dollars he collected and handed over
to the Republican party to corrupt
the ballot box.
The journal has also stated that
John Wanamaker goes to Philadel-
phia every Sundty in order to be
ready to teach his Sunday school
class on the Sabbath. Sunday be-
fore last he made an exbortation in
church in favor of the prohibition
amendment and against alcohol, to-
bacco, opium, profanity, anger and
impurity Of life, which is all very
good, but he failed to say anything
about bribery. He charged his
hearers to go home and pray God
to help them carry the amendment
although he himself went praying
among the manufactures for Doodle
with which to carry the Republican
party through safely. We presume
John Wanamaker is set down as a
model christian, and the Journal
thinks just the man to teach moral
ity and purity, and the man to raise
Republican Doodle

There is no appeal for relief from

She had been a sufferer from that

not made by hands, whose streets
are pure gold, and whose gates shall
not be shut by day for there is no

whose devotion was untiring during
her long illness, and two daughters
Maryland and Georgia. The funer-
al took place Saturday morning
from the NJ. L. Church at Mason

"TOle" Fair.

The silver tongued orator of Iron
dale spent Monday and Tuesday in
Kingwood for the purpose of dishing
out the postofiice patronage of this
place, but from the ''far-away" ex-
preston of his face we are led TO
believe that he failed in his scheme.
Another thing which makes us think
our friend is about to get in the
"soup" is that he tried to get other
aspirants to throw their inflence TO
his candidate. Now we have no
objection to Brother Davis giving
the postofiice of Kingwood to any
one he chooses, but VIC do think he
ought TO "tolc" fair.

For stone Throwing.

On Tuesday night warrant was
sworn out by John Cunningham,
living near the depot, against John
Gidley and Brooks Duyall for ston-
ing his house that night and on
several previous occasions. They
were brought before Squire Goodwin,
but owing to the latcness Mt night,
and because the prisoners could not
give bail, they were lodged in Jail
till Wednesday at l o'clock, when
the hearing was had. Mr.. Hyde
represented the State. A number
of witnesses were examined. They
were bound over to await the action
of the grand jury.
We learn the same mean act was
INDUCED in last night. The guilty
party should be punished to the full
extent of the law for such conduct.

discourscd some Of their best music.
When the parade was over, the fes-
tival at courthouse hall was inau-

and jollity, the like Of which has
not been in the old town for many

everybody was hungry--and in a
much better humor than hungry

the thing changed. Brothers Daw-

possible to prevent him having the
appointment changed. They caught
him at Tunnelton and all went to

or her death will entail certain amount
of discomfort on their dearest friends.
True grief would also be more fittingly
shown by people. going about in their
quiet everyday garments than by sud-
denly budding out in fresh dresses.
This would also have the advantage of
doing away with the absurdity of seek
ing people who, though relations in
blood, are in reality strangers, pretend
ing to be distressed by the demise of
relatives they. have either never seen, or
at least not known, in the common ac-
ceptatlon of the term. Why a pretense of
mourning under these circumstances is
considered so peculiarly gratifying and
consolatory to the immediate family is
one of those things that must forever
remain mystery; and though there is
every reason why those who have lost
one who is dear to them should be left
in peace until time has somewhat dead
ened the pain of grief. there is no rea-.
son why system should be upheld
which practically sacrifices the living to
the dead.

Lillian RusseIl's Enemy.

New York World
Lillian Russell is the victim of her
own beauty, and the dread of getting
fat keeps her as miserable as the hum
blest chorus girl in the Casino company.
She can't eat any sort of SWcetmeatS,
cake or pastry. Every vegetable is for
hidden that grows under ground, no
wine is allowed to pass her lips, meat is
limited to one meal day, and between
the foods that she dare not eat and does
not care to eat her bill of fare is con-
fined to bread and butter, lemons and
lettuce.
Every day she is compelled to walk
ten miles, and in this hot weather the
exercise is far from agreeable. She
dresses in Blue flannel, wears cork-soled
shoes, straw hat with moist sponge
basted in the crown, and carries a
double-lined sun umbrella. AS the OBJ
ject of this exercise is to keep her flesh
down, she never fails to weigh herself
before starting out so that she knows
exactly what reduction is necessary. A
part of her outfit consists of long strips
of white flannel which are cooled about
her body spirally and laid double where
the flesh is too abundant. In this snug
wooden suit the only Lillian walks until
she is a rich rose red and dripping with
perspiratiOn, when she is rubbed down
with alcohol, refreshed with cold botil-
lou and put to bed. On her toilet as
much care and money are spent as if
she were princess. Every day she re-
ceive the visits of hairdresser. mani
cure and pedicure, and a bathing mis-
treSS prepares her vapOr bath.
