TIL, Little Things The Most Valuable

Comparatively few people regard them
sci YES as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thealittle frictiops of life, Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backsT' ex claims the traveller. IF l were
running the road would make them in such
a away"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF," grumbes the cook. "He
never had to work over stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents. they might find themselves as In
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen puzzle.

Schnepf's was as follows:

The SUDDEN change was very wei
come one, as it enabled persons TO get
around with some degree of comfort,
and allowed the interior of dwellings
and places of business to be heated to
a comfortable degree-something which
has been practically mpossible,in many
instances, for week past. Es-
pecially will the rise in tempera-
ture be welcomed in the country,
when roads have been blocked with
snow and wells and springs frozen mp.
One lady living on the hill at the head
of Caldwell's run stated yesterday the
snow was eighteen inches deep on her
farm and that for several days they
could obtain no water except by melt
ing snow. Many other country folks
are In the same fix, and although a thaw
means horrible roads, they will welcome
lighter tenn perature with gratitude.
Here in the city degree OF warmth
sufficient to melt the snow and ice will
see the streets turned into canals and
rivers of mud. Even yesterday, mod
crate as was the temperature,
the principal streets were in
very bad state, but still they were
not a marker to what they will be after

LOTS OF LODGERS.
OVER FOUR HUNDRED AT THE CITY HALL IN
TIE LAST FIFTY DAYS.
The Cold Weather Drives Scores Of ImpecuniOuS
Men Into TOwn-Whsre They Stay O.
Nights, and Who and VIVA!
They Ara

The late cold snap has brought the
class of men known to the police as
dodgers" to the City Hall In large
numbers, and some nights the capacity
of the lookup in this regard has been
taxed to its utmost, some nights as
high as twenty and twenty-five being
entertained. The record at headquar-
tiers shows 225 dodgers for the month Of
December, and 1SS for the FIRST eighteen
days Of January, making total OF Alb
for forty-nine days, or an average OF
between eight and nine day right
along. The city furnishes warmth,
shelter, and a stone floor to sleep on,
water TO drink, but no meals.
OF course, this does not represent
anything take the total number of such
people afloat in this community, as
scores of such men nightly flock to the
mills, furnaces, and such places for
shelter and warmth, and others sleep
in empty cars, in outbulldings, and
various other localities, or if they are
possessed Of few dimes, loaf about the
cheap saloons or walk the streets. They
are not Wheeling people. Nine out OF
ten are strangers, and when questioned
at the City Hall announce themselves
as railroad men, mill men, laborers,
ETC., and say they are looking
for work. In about three cases
out Of four, however, this latter
statement is palpably untrue, and there
is that unmlstakable odor Of bad whis-
ky and the divorce from soap and wa
ter which proclaims the professional
vag and tramp. With a couple OF
dozen such people up in the lookup cell
room tbs atmosphere along in the early
hours OF the morning becomes fearful
and wonderful thing, and is often
enough to make an ordinary mortal Ill
after breathing it for few minutes.
OF late quite number of these
Knights of Leisure have been seen
on the streets soliciting aid. One
healthy-looking fellow stopped two
young ladies on Market
street, last night, and after telling them
a story received a contribution of coin.
He moved off up street, and the ladies
followed him, only to see him disappear
within the doors OF saloon square or
so away. The ladies held brief con-
sultation, and evidently concluded to
charge the sum contributed up to ex-
perience.
So numerous were vags on the streets
last night, and such was their assurance,
that they became an intolerable nui-
sance to pedestrians, and the police
made a number of arrests. When tack
led by Officer Creighton, last night, one
particularly dirty specimen said, in re-
ply 10 a question of whether or not he
had been begging:
"Well, what if l have? Arrest me If
you want to. don't care. I've been
wanting to go into winter quarters"
He was accommodated.

The New Lincoln School

To the Editor ofthe Register:
WHEELING, w. VA, January is, '93.
Gentlemen Of the Board Of Public Schools:
The great inquiry among the colored
citizens is, what will the Board do, or
what steps will be taken in reference to
the new school building to be erected IN
the place Of the old building lately de-
stroyed by fire? Since we have had a
school, the location has always been
quite inferior to that OF any other school
in the city. Our first building was on
High street, place almost impossible
for child to reach in the winter, and
child at six years OF age could not get
10 school in winter. The next change
we had we were placed in the old build
ing at the head Of Tenth street, in the
Second ward, only little better located,
but an old and dilapidated school,
scarcely no accommodation for school
purposes, and the surroundings are SICK
eping to our children and the people.
A location suggested by gentleman TO
me for the building is where the city
crematory now stands, but l do not
think that place can be purchased for
that reason. Our school building and
grounds have not cost the Board
scarcely anything since we have had
one. The first was Of very cheap
construction, only set on posts put In
the ground. The second was con-
demned when our children were ad-
mitted to it. Twice in twenty years
have helped to pull down and rebuild
the First ward school, the same in the
Sixth ward and almost three buildings
in the Seventh ward; a nice building
in the Third ward, called Clay school,;
a splendid one was erected for the
Fourth ward, now a new addition late
" finished. The citizens Of the Fifth
ward car boast of fine brick building;
also, those Of the Sixth and the Eighth
In every case the Board was careful TO
purchase ground enough for play
grounds and large additions, and all
these buildings are fitted up with the
latest improvements, with good janitors
houses and pay good wages. Lincoln
school pays small salary and he (the
iantor) needs no house.

After loafng down around zero for a

At this dizzy height the mercury stuck
during the remainder Of the day, and
the probabilities are, at this writing,
that there will be more or less slush to-
day.

A Decision of Decided Interest to Voters
Political Notes.
For q week or so past there has been
no end OF controversy about town as to
how long a voter must reside in the city
before being eligible to vote. Quite q
number Of people have contended that
a residence of sixty days in the city,
after residence OF one year In
the State, was sufficient, while
others as stoutly maintained
that a residence OF a year In the
city was required. The matter was re-
ferred to City Solicitor Riley, who,
after an examination of the law, has IT,
formed the Executive Committees that
citizen must have resided within the
city one year before being eligible as
voter on the Goth. This will effect
quite mum Der Of people, and is an i'm

to the Chief OF Little Rock Tuesday
evening, ana yesterday about noon the
father OF the girl arrived here. Secur-
ing the services of Lawyer CoRff, and
accompanied by Officer Lukens, went TO
the managers here and obtained posses
sion of the child. They gave the freak,
up without any trouble, and at 9:45 last
night the father left with his child for
Little Rock, Ark. 1t seems that the
child was under contract at the museum
in New York for $50 week, but as the
money was not forthcoming the father
began 20 inquire, and it was then that
the Spider Girl" was spirited away to
Wheeling. The museum will probably
be closed again now to await the next
Spectator.
