A COMMUNICABLE PLAN
For the Celebration Of WASH
ingtou's Birthday
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HERE.
An Object Lesson in History aud an
ExempIar of Patriotism to be
Placed before all the Pupils
by Their Teachers,

Prof, w H, Anderson, spperinten-
dent of the public schools, ami his priR-
cipals, are arranging for an observance
Of Washington's birthday in all the
schools next Friday afternoon, The ex'
ercises will consist Of the singing Of patri'
otto and other songs, the reading OF es-
says on Washington's life and character,
Rotations OF some Of his famous utter
anCes, historical reviews and addresses
from visitors, among whom will proba'
bly, be nearly all the members OF tho
Ohio Valley Superintendent Round
Table, which will meet here again that
evening. The idea OF having a Celebra-
ton in tho schools OF the natal day OF
the Father Of his country is n good one.
For the good OF the Nation the coming
generations cannot learn too much OF
tho history OF their country and its
founders, who started what is to-day
such goodly heritage, and which is
the more appreciated us one learns OF its
history. There is no doubt that the sew
eral celebrations in the different schools
will prove very entertaining. They
should be well attended by parents and
friends, for nothing so spurs children on
US appreciation from older ones.

a Report which is UnroundOd-A "Frlend''
Ofthe HarrlSOn'.
In a special dispatch from Indiana
polls printed yesterday in Pittsburgh
newspaper, occurred this paraph'
"NIrs. Harrison and her daughter have
been annoyed recently by the antics ola
young woman formerly living in this
city who is being interviewed in differ
ent cities asan intimate friend Of the fam
lily, and saying that she isgolngto Wash
ington with them upon an invitation to
make Il long visit ut the White House.
II Is said that at Washington recently
she carried her imposture so far that a
reception was given in her honor, upon
the strength OF her supposed nearness to
tho family OF the next President. The
young woman's standing In this city Is
hot OF q sort to favor her with the ac'
QuaintanCe OF the Harrison orRny other
reputable family, and she Is simply play
ing bunko game upon silly people anx'
ious to make themselves solid with the
administration"
A report got out here yesterday that
this paragraph referred to former
Wheeling young lady with a somewhat
sensational story. This report was not
true, ms the young lady, whose mind was
some timO ago unseated by political ex.
citement at indianapolis, Is now in this
city, having been brought here week
ago by her aunt from Indianapolis. She
Is still mentally unbalanced.

An Asrlrnmrnt al wellshnrr

Very general surprise was occasioned,
says Wednesdays Wellsburg Local, when
it became known in town that Conrad
Miller, tho Hudson House druggist, had
made an assignment to james +. Cree
for the benefit OF his creditors. 1t was
generally supposed that he was on a
perfectly sound financial basis. What
the liabilities are is us yet a matter oil
conjecture. 1t understood that he had
lately been borrowing considerable sums
of money TO keep his business going.
The assets, consisting Of book accounts,
stock in hand, etc, will likely be about
1000. Preferences are given as follows:
Mitchell & Braddock, professional ser.
vices to date, $40; r. Welty & Co.,
SOL 20, with interest and costs; Beall &
Steele, secured by deed Of trust, 1891 As ;
Martin Miller, borrowed money, about
81 200; S. George, oVerdrawn account,
IS 81; James Cree, 500. Mr.. Cree Is at
present confined to his room at the
Hudson House. D. McOlelland Is in
charge OF the store, which is at present
in the hands Of Constable McHenry,
who will turn 1t over to Mr. Cree as soon
MS an execution In his hands in his
hands in favor Of p. Welty & Co. shall
have been satisfied.
