Wheeling Talent Abroad.

IN referring to the MINISTRIES given
there on Friday and Saturday evenings
by local talent for the benefit Of the
knights of the Golden Eagle, the Steu-
beuville Herald says: "a leading fea-
ture of this part of the performance
was the Indian club swinging by Frank
Miller, of Wheeling, which it is safe to
say has never been eQualled in this city
by either home or foreign talent. The
ornamental bands on the clubs became
circles Of silver light under his deft
management, and the swinging clubs in
his hands were the poetry of motion ex-
empliied. Mr.. Miller also appeared
later in double bar performance with
Mr.. Loos, OF Wheeling"

Oneof the most enthusiastic supporters
of the Kelley LIQUOR, opium and tobacco
cure, is Hon. Joseph Medill, proprietor Of
the Chicago Tribune. About a year and
half ago, he thoroughly Investigated the
claims made for the Kelley remedies, and
becoming convinced that these remedies
were what they claimed to be-a certain
cure for these diseases-he published the
result of his Investigations.
Although he was assailed at first on all
sides. he now has the satisfaction of having
his position in recommending the Kelley
cure, vindicated by thousands of living
witnesses, who have tried it successfully.
There are only two genuine Kelley Insti-
tutes in Ohio, at Marysville and at Madi-
sonville. The home treatment for the to-
bacco habit, is remarkably successful. Ad-
dress.

ALEXANDER TURNER.

This witness heard two epithets by DR..

Eoff and Fourteenth streets. The first oc-
casion was IN the winter OF 1889, and the
other In 1890.

A NOTION 10 STRIKE OUT EP1rHErs.

A
Mr.. B. Took was the next witness. He
was asked if he had knowledge Of a
meeting between the two physicians, but
the State objected and said to the Court it
was simply an attempt to prove an epithet
spoken by DR.. Baird 10 DIR. Garrison three
or four months before the tragedy. II was
OF no Importance, unless IL was threat
Col Arnett thought that. taken with
other matters, it was important and peril
nent.
The Court thought it was not material,
unless 10 was threat.
Col Arnett said it was not so much a
threat in words, as the manner OF both par
ties upon the occasion.
The matter was argued by Mr.. Sommer-
vile, who said at the City Hall row, Dr..
Baird had threatened TO take the life Of
DR. Garrison, and they wanted TO show be
was still IN that frame Of mind He thought
the proposed evidence was right IN line
with the Evans case. IF accommodated
threats were admissible, communicated
epithets and a hostile manner were Ger.
tainly proper, as showing the mental atti-
tude. He thought hostile expressions were
admissible in that view.
The Court finally said il it was TO show
hostility il might go. The defense said 1t
was for that purpose, and he could only
Judge of il in that light
Mr.. Took then went on to tell Of the
epithets used by Dr. Baird at the Jail, when
DR.. Garrison was standing on the side
walk. "Dr. Baird drove N close TO the
curb and said: You d-n-.' Dr.
Garrison turned his back" DR.. Garrison
said nothing TO DR.. Baird
To Capt Dovener witness said it was
several months before the shooting. After
. Or. Baird passed Or. Garrison turned
around and said TO the iailer: Did you
hear that!" DR.. Baird didn't drive right
up TO the curb. He couldn't say whether
he stopped or not.
Capt. Dovener--Now, Your Honor, this
is Just as good place as any. Wemo to

ent IN think over 10.
Col. Arnett-We want to say that we not

It's not an isolated case.

To The Editor OF the Register:
SR:-Wfl you allow me to correct a
date in your courteous reference in yes
terday'S issue, to my sermon in ST..
Luke's church Sunday evening.
The date OF the first Liturgy OF the
Church OF England at jamestown was
not 1921, but 1907. | did refer to the
former date, but in this connection:
that the year 1921 witnessed the first
meeting OF the Assembly of Virginia,
which was convened in the church at
Jamestown; and that one OF the enact
ments of that first assembly, formally
established by law, the Church of Eng
land in Virginia.
jamestown never attained, properly
speaking, to the dignity OF a city; aud,
at the present time, the remains OF what
constituted the town, are, for the most
part, by the constant action OF the tide,
submerged in the river. May | be al
lowed to add that unless some spirited
churchman builds retaining wall
around what remains of the Tower of
a structure that can be no less interest
ing 10 American churchmen than is the
Church OF ST. Martin at Canterbury to
English churchmen-these remains will
be before long irrecoverably a thing OF
the past, TO the great regret OF all who
value monumental fragments Of an in-
teresting aud instructive period Of
national history.
With thanks for your kindness, am,
sir, your obedient servant,
