TAILORs TACKLE THE yIaNDs.
The Annual Banquet at the Hotel
Windsor.


The tailors about town last evening
didn't cut out any pants, or saw OH any
low cut vests. They were busy else
where. and that was at the welcome
scene of the banquet hall. Ii was the
occasion of the annual banquet OF the
Merchant Tailors Association of Wheel
ing and vicinity, including Bellaire,
Bridgeport and other neigh0orlng
towns. The guests were slow IN arriV-
ing. but wonderfully sure, aud shortly
after nine, after 4 pleasant season OF
sociability in the parlorS, twenty-five
wielderS of the tape and shears MED
into the dining room, with appetlteS
well whetted, and armed TO
the teeth for wrestle WITH
the viandS which Manager Ross had
set out in his most alluring style, en-
bracing all the culinary surprises oil the
season. The boys tackled the food on
all sides, and at the close of the pran-
dial pleasures the table presented gas
Economical wreck. Much merriment
prevailed during the discussion and the
dining room was scene OF mirth. 1t
was a distinguished looking gathering,
partly from the fact that the. members
were all in immaculate attire, for II
there is one class OF persons who are
bound to dress well, it is the tailorS.
After all had supplied the inner man,
the members proceeded to crate, and
with President J. Elwood Hughes a.
tOastmaSter, the exercises unwOund.
Mr. Hughes opened up with appropal-
ate remarks which he continued at in
teryalS in the same happy vein through
out the evening. The first toast pro-
posed was that of 1.-The Merchant
Tailor" which was ably responded To
by Mayor c. w. Seabright. The toast
titled The Man" appropos of the old
saving that ii takes nine tailorS TO make
man, was proposed by Edward Steger,
of Bcllaire. and was responded to by
Chief of Police Louis Delbrugge.
Among other things by way OF pleas
antry he said that during his two years
of Office he had arrested only four tail
ors, a fact which showed in measure
the moral spirit OF the tailor.
Before the exercises closed j. Elwood
Hughes, c. w. Seabright and Louis
Delbrugge were appointed delegates to
the Merchant TailOrs' Convention at st.
Louis on the 10th OF February. The al
ternateS chosen were Ed. Stegcr, Adam

wheeling illustrated VIII be out in Crank
Leslie" This Week.


That special edition OF Frank Lesties
Illustrated Newspaper, containing pic
lures OF Wheeling, which was to have
appeared about Christmas time, has
been somewhat delayed, and this delay
has caused some anxious inquiries
among subscribers, more particularly
from the fact that much OF the money
some g.. 900 or over-was paid In ad-
vance to the representatives of the pa
per before they left the city, and also
from the fact that Tappan Il Connell,
who were delegated by the newspaper
to do the photographing in place Of the
special artist originally promised, have
written several times to make inquiry
about the pay, but have received no re-
ply. Tappan & Connell's bill is nearly
fifty dollars. Secretary Hazlett, OF the
Chamber OF Commerce, was intending to
write &c the management to-day to learn
The cause of the DELAY. A telegram,
however, was sent to the New York
Office late yesterday afternoon, and
reply was received to the effect that
Illustrated Wheeling would appear In
this weeks issue, which will probably
arrive here some time to-day.

Intellectual Treat for wheeling.

II is not often that Wheeling people
can have so great an orator and thinker
as Rev. DR.. GunsauluS. a young man,
brilliant, eloquent, a giant intellect,
standing far above his compeerS, and
still rapidly ascending in fame and
esteem. Dr. Gunsaulus will lecture in
the Young Mems Christian Association
course next Tuesday evening in the
Opera House. The Chautauqua Beacon
says Of him:
lone week Of the assembly has now
passed, and the general programme Is
pronounced better than any OF It's pre-
decessors. II is a matter OF Just pride
that the lecturer who has stirred the
enthusiasm of the assembly beyond COM
parison with any other is Rev +. NJ.
Gunsaulus, OF Chicago. His clear dis
tinct tones can be heard in any part OF
the auditorium (Which seats 2.2OO peo-
ple) without the loss of a syllable; but to
catch fash OF his piercing black eyes
one needs seat near the front. The
charm OF his oratory is not merely in
the magnetism of his presence, the won
derful richness, yet transparency, oil MS
style. and the freshness and beauty OF
his poetic figures, but lies more in the
intense aud lofty moral earnestness
which makes 1t a genuine inspiration oil
the soul to hear him"
