Assuming that the Evangelist has
published a correct report OF the
address delivered by. Rev. DR.. Pat
ton at Princeton in 1887, it will be
interesting to see how DR.. Patton will
reconcile the views set forth in that
address with his present attitude OF
dissent from similar views held by Rev.
Dr.. Briggs, and for which uttcrances
DR.. Briggs is to be tried as for heresy.
Ii the Princeton president may hold
these views and be- orthodox it will
bother him as leader OF the prosecution
to show that the same belief is hetcro-
dox when held by the Union Seminary
professor. The first material. point to
establish is that DR.. Patton is correctly
reported; the next thing is to know
whether he still holds to the opinions
OF the address Of 1887.
DR.. Patton has the floor, and an
audience awaits his early convenience,
ready to give him o very attentive
hearing.

The Filth Crop In the Streets.

Last nights rain was much needed
by the filth crop i'll the streets OF
Wheeling. 1t will take a good deal Of
watcr to cleanse the streets, but even n
little ia thankfully received. Since it
was explained that Wheeling is too
poor to keep her streets clean, and,
moreover, that the dirt is a great bless
ing in SC far as it preserves the paving,
what are we going to do about it2
The condition OF the streets would be
a rcproach to any people. Every kind
OF fifth lies on them and from them is
tracked into the homes OF Wheeling.
Ii there be some moro kinds they will
in course OF time be found there, for
wo are making a great collection OF
street filth for the edilication OF our
selves and our visitors.
II the people were determined %
have it otherwise they could have their
way. They growl but do not act. No
growl, however loud and long sustained,
ever cleaned n street.

A GOOD SHOW.

We are always advising you to
advertise, and TO keep on advertis

ground entirely. Of course, you
should make your advertising etfec-

you should not use a "tallow dip"
to light the path to your store.
Whatd do we mean by that? Sim
ply that the more conspicuous, the
more artistic, the more attractive,
the more original you make your ad-
vertisements, the more people will
see and read them, and the more
customers you will have to con-
tribute to your cash-drawer.
Study effects in bold pretty type
good matter may be spoiled by
ugly dressing. Seek to catch the
eye by a display Of good taste in the
style and arrangement OF your an
nouncement.
Above all, let it be bold enough tc

WHEELING, OCTOBER 10. 1901.
Gov Campbell on the East Liverpool

In his Toledo speech Gov. Campbell
expressed some views concerning the
East Liverpool potters which he says
he intends to express at shorter range.
Tho lSTELLIdENcER hopes tho gov
crnor OF Ohio will permit nothing to
interfere witt! the execution OF this
threat; and when he speaks Mt East
Liverpool it is to be hoped that he will
advance the same ideas he gave utter
ancc at Toledo, and he will hcightcn
the interest of the occasion ii he will
clothc his ideas in the Toledo garb.
Oh course lie jumps on tho protected
potters and kicks the lie out OF them.
This was to be expected, but this did
not satisfy the governor. The Demo-
cratic Bee, OF Toledo, reports Governor
Campbell as saying that "thcrc is not q
place in the country whore labor is SO
dcbased as at East Liverpool" More
than this, "thc men arc hcrdcd like
SWINE ana marched to the polls like
cattle"
Ii Governor Campbell will say this
before an audience OF East Liverpool
potters he will hear something that will
sound more like the crack OF doom than
like the generous applause which his
party newspapers say he receives where
ever he opens his head.
The governor OF great state is hard
pushed Tor campaign thunder when he
must dcnouncc as cattle and swine men
who earn living wages and own them
selves; and the East Liverpool pottera
are not the men they are supposed to be
ii they do not seek opportunity to do
some opinion expressing themselves at
short range when they get a nance at
the man who reviles them on the stump.

FOOD IMPROPERLY COOKED.
Tho Stricken Delegates to the Bradford
TNmpornnce Convention NccOvcrinE.

Temperance Convention ltccOvcrinE.
PrrTsBuEGn, Oct. lS.-A tri-Statc news
bureau Bradford, Pa, special says:
Though the excitewent following the
poisoning OF fully eighty lady delegates
TO the State convention OF the W. G. T..
U. has somewhat died out, the mys-
terious affair is still the topic here and
will be for some time. Some OF the
delegates were taken down Immediately
after dinner, but not until 4 o'clock
were the full effects OF the poison mani
fest. Physicians say the symptoms were
those peculiar 10 poisoning. There was
no io%rerunner OF the sickness, but Il
sudden and terrific snawing at the vitals,
accompanied by uncomfortable vomit-
ing. In certain severe cases the pulses
OF tho patients lowered until almost i'm
%pcrccptlble, followed by dcathIy pallor
and complete prostration.
The absurd theory Of some OF the
most severely stricken delegates that
the food had been poisoned or the air OF
the church impregnated with gas by
some liquor dealers or other opponents
OF the temperance cause was completely
exploded. Physicians were Of the
opinion they had been poisoned by
some deadly stuff or powder sprinklcd
on the grapes, but this theory was also
incorrect when investigation to-day
showed the people had been poisoned
by food improperly cooked in copper
kettles. OF the eighty taken i'll some
thirty were at first supposed to be be-
yond hope, and the consequent distress
and CONSERVATION among citizens may
be imagined. All those dangerously i'll
are now out OF danger, and it is safe to
say that all will recover.

The President on Arbitration.

vi kibiNttIt'il
The Presidents brief address before
the Methodist Ecumenical Council was
another OF his model talks. He touched
briefly on tho question Of international
arbitration, but he went to tho marrow
OF it. Tho world is not yet prepared to
submit to arbitration every question
that may arise between nations.
Meanwhile the guarantee OF peace is
in reasonable preparation for war; as
the President cleverly putty it, "by hay
ing it understood that il the appeal is
to be to a iercer tribunal wo shall not
be out Of the debatc." Fortunately in
this country wo do not heed a vast tax
eating military establishment.
With 4 good navy and 4 modcststand-
ing army backed by a strong National
Guard we shall have force enough to
meet any exigency until wars and ru-
mors OF wars shall be no more.

If the average dairyman points out

cause he has too many" there is
usually something wrong with them.
But if he permits the would-be buyer to
take his choice from the herd at fair
price. he really desires to sell, and the
purchaser is apt to get a good one. But
before buying, especially family COW,
it is well TO learn the disposition of the
owner. If he can walk up to her and
handle her and she has no fear, he is at
least kind to his cattle. and this is a
great point in favor of the cow: but il
the cow needs coaxing before a hand
can be put upon her, he has had some
kind of circus with her, evidence Of,

Her Mammals Queer Find,

''Now. children" said little Nelly,
lifting her eyes from her book, Il have
put on my grandmother-cap. and will

mamma one day when l was but q
child. 1t is true story.
lon that day my mamma in company
with some of .the other ladies OF her
parish lfor she lived away out in the
country met ut the church in the vii
lage to sweep it and dust it and put it in
order for the winter. They did this
every autumn.
mamma went with old Prancer and
the buggy and took Aunt Carrie with
her.
Il suppose that you all know that q
buggy is like a carriage without top;
and mammals buggy was shut in at the
back.
when they came to the church,
mamma hitched old Prancer and then
she went to the buggy to take out the
brooms and pans and rags that they
had brought. When she lifted the cur
tain of the seat, what did she see but a
little hen sitting in one corner looking
as peaceful as If on her nest ut home.
That little hen had crept in under the
seat to lay an egg, and of course she did
not expect to take u ride.
mamma fastened her in, to stay
while she was at work in the church.
and when they got home. Biddy was in
one corner and an egg in another!''-
