Editorial Correspondence.

TO 81. Paul, over the Chicago &
Western Il. r., this morning, we
hastily jot down a few points that
may be of interest to our readers.
We left Kingwood Friday morn
ing and came to Wheeling, where
we met others OF the West Virginia
delegation. After supper at the
Stamm House. we started down
street, and met Ed and Will Small
ley, Of Kingwood, who are working
in Wheeling and getting along very
we'll. We next attended Lodge at
the Castle Hall Of Ohio Valley
Lodge, X. of p, and met several of
the leading Knights of the State.
We had a long talk with Grand
Chancellor Connolly and learned
much OF the work of the order dur
ing the past year. This has been
the most successful in the history of
the Order in our little mountain
State. eleven new Lodges having
been instituted since January, four
OF them in counties that have never
had Lodge of X. of L. before. A
new Lodge was instituted at Grants
vile, in Calhoun county, last Fri
day night, known as Kanawha
Lodge, No. 67, and Il dispensation
has been granted for new Lodge
at Roseville, in Gilmcr county, n
little country village that starts off
with forty-one charter members.
The Grand Chancellor asked us
about Bruceton, and urged that the
new Lodge being worked up there
proceed to organize at once. Now
let the parties who have the matter
i'll hand push it on to u successful
conclusion. Col. Barney Stanley
told US that he would institute the
new Division of the Uniform Rank
at Fairmont, Wednesday evening Of
next week, July %. Morgantown
is getting ready for her Division
about the same time, although it
may be a month later. The Graf
ton Division will ofIiciate ut the
"Modern Athens"
We left Wheeling that nigbt at
1870 on the New York s. Chicago
Limited Express and came via the
B. 4 o. to this place, arriving Sat
urday noon after a pleasant ride
through northern OHIO aud the
/ pralrlcs OF Indiana. The Audito-
rum Hotel is the finest in the city,
superior even to the Palmer House,
and is the headquarters of the AS
sociation here. All of the eastern
and most OF the southern delegates
to the National Editorial Associa-
tlon are here and stopping at this
place. The arrangement was to
meet here and go in body to st.
Paul over the Chicago & N. w. r. r..
There are over four hundred here
now, and the meeting promises to
be immense. Saturday afternoon
we went out to the Base Ball Park.
on the South Side, to see Chicago
and New York play ball. There
was a regular jam and perhaps 90
COO people, who cbeered. every play
made, good or bad. ~ ,grRmo team

two in the next inning, and then
got froze out, while the Giants"
batted the ball all over the field and
licked Chicago clean Of their boots
to the tune Of - to G-such q poor
game for professionals, that the
audience rose mp in Che last inning
and slugged the police and players
and others with the grand stand
cushions. 10 was a regular rot for
awhile, and the police were powerlcss
and could hardly qucll the mob to
get the game flushed YESTERDAY
