A Clerks Stupidity.

A clerk in dry goods store told Us a
humorous incident which had for its her
oine well known society girl. The
young man has in charge a department
where paper patterns are sold, and the
other day in walked the aforesaid young
woman anxious TO buy the pattern Of a
wrap for her aunt. What sizeg' QUE
ried the clerk. ''Oh, do not know" /"
answered the girl. Cannot You give
me some idea:" went on the youth, anx-
ious if possible 70 make a sale. .'She is
rather large and above the average
height" laughed the fair maid, but this
answer was not one bit helpful, so she
was obliged to go away without the de-
sired pattern, but as she was leaving the
store bright thought struck her, and
she returned TO the counter, and with
evident triumph in her face and manner
announced, Il can get it now; she's As
years DID," and she could not understand
why this vivid description did not enable
the stupid person behind the counter to
give her the exact size that she required.

ALL A MISTAKE.
TEE BIG DEAL FOR TEE VICTOR OIL CON-
PANYS PROPERTY,
Down in he Sistsrsvills Field, Has Not Been
Made - The Companys Price IS Over
Three Quarters Of a Million Dollars.

Despite all the assertions contained
in the press of this and other cities to
the effect that the Victor Oil Company
had sold out its Sistersville property to
the Standard for half-a-million dollars,
the REGISTER is in position to
state positively that no such sale has
been made. 1t may be further stated
that the Victor Company would not con-
slider such price as hali-a-million dol
lars for a moment, as this bed rock price
for all their Sistersville property is
$3.50, GOO. This decision of the Victor
people has been communicated to the
Standard representatives, and they are
now celebrating as TO what they will
do about it.
A conference was held in this city q
day or two ago between QuaSi-represen-
tatives OF the Standard and the Victor
Companies, at which the Standard peo-
pie were informed that the price OF
$3.50. 600 for the whole property had
been quoted to a firm Of Pittsburg bro
kers. They were further informed that
the Victor would reserve 2 small sec
ton of the property, and sell the re-
malnder for $50, 900, but that no fur
Their concessions would be made. To
this an answer will be made by the
Standard at noon tomorrow, accepting
or rejecting the offer.
The Victor Company has but about
twenty-five wells on its leases, and its
daily output is something over 1000
barrels, but its value lies in the
great mass OF untouched land,
rich in oil aud gas, which it controls.
This land is universally conceded as be-
ing underlaid by a great amount OF oil,
and that its development will bring a
very large amount Of wealth into the
pockets OF whoever may own IL. The
stockholders of the Victor Company
thoroughly appreciate the good thing
they have, and as the Standard is some
thing Of an authority in oil matters, the
outcome Of the negotiations will be
awaited with much interest.

IT WAS ALL WRONG,
TBESTBsY THAT TIE WHEELING CLUBS Ar
RIVED LATE FAKE
A Blizzard Prevents The Students from Taxing
Part in the Procession, But tho Yong Mems
Club Braves the Elements

Yesterday afternoon some wag started
a yarn TO the effect that the train bear
ing the Wheeling Clubs had been de-
layed at Grafton, aud again at Martins
burg, where they did not ar
rive until hall-past ten in the
morning, and that they were
'qald ont" at Washington juno
ton, some distance from the Capitol at
one o'clock in the afternoon, that they
missed the whole OF the Inaugural cere-
monies. etc. Apparent color was given
the accompanying story that the B. &
O. trains were all out Of whack, by the
fact that the morning train from the
Fast was about six hours late, and the
news Of the "hard luck" attending the
Wheeling people was soon all over
town. An afternoon paper, which
has managed 10 furnish good deal OF
misinformatiOn 70 the public, caught up
the story, and worked" il for all u
was worth. The fact is that the Wheel
ing clubs got into Washington at about
eight o'clock IN the morning, and would
have taken the places in line which
were assigned 70 them but for the In
clement weather. The Tariff Students
did not participate in the parade, out
the Young Mems Club marched with
the other organizations.
The Tariff Students went 70 con-
siderable expense In hiSing crack oand,
cleaning uD and improving their march-
ing outfits, etc, and were unIor-
innate in not being enabled 10 partlci-
pate in the big demonstration. How.
ever, other organizations shared their
an luck. The following telegram tells
the story OF the arrival OF the Wheeling
clubs, and subsequent events.
Special Telegram to tts sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 4.-The
Young Mems Democratic Club and the
Wilson Tariff Students, Of Wheeling,
arrived here IN good shape aud have
had fine time Of 10 so far. In COM
mon with all the other organizations
that were assigned to positions in the
parade. however, their plans were badly
interfered with by the blizzard which
struck the town last night. The Jarin
Students did not undertake to Join In
.he parade owing 10 the terrible
weather, but the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Climb resolved TO be heroic and
defy the elements. The club marcsed
to the starting point on Capitol Hill,
east of the Capitol, and there awaited
patiently the orders to march. An hour
passed, two hours passed, three hours
passed, but still the order did not come.
because the great military division Of
the parade had 10 move of first. In the
meanwhile the members Of the club had
grown weary of waiting and chilled by
the cold and were compelled one by one
TO seek warmth and dry feet
and clothing in order to avoid
colds and pneumonia. By the
time the order came TO fall in and
march only about thirty members Of
the club remained. These went gal
lantly over the route and presented q
very handsome appearance notwith-
standing the bad weather they passed
through. A number OF the Wheeling
boys attended the Inaugural ball to-
night.

A STRANGE PERFORMANCE,
And a Bad Break During 1t, at the Opera
House, Last Night.

And a Bad Break During It, at the Opera
House, Last Night
"Erminie'was attempted at the Opera
House, last evening, by the Pauline
Hall Comic Opera Company.
The large audience went TO the build
ing in the expectation Of listening to an
exceptionally fine rendition OF a good
opera, as comic operas go.
Their expectations were not realized,
and this was not altogether the fault Of
the gentlemer-several Of them, like
Messrs Reymann, Grimm and Brand
fass, musicians of acknowledged ability
who supplied the place OF the regular
Opera House orchestra. The singing OF
the company, especially in the first act,
was faulty In the extreme. During the
day the regular piano, which was 10 aid
the orchestra, was removed and
another, tuned a half tone
below concert pitch, was substituted,
but even this change, made by the Con-
pany, did not help out the vocalists,
several OF whom seemed badly "otf. !"
There were eight gentlemen in the or
chsstra, which was, perhaps, not we'll
balanced, second violins being absent,
but the trouble was rather upon the
stage, especially, as has been stated, in
the first act. Still, between the second
and third acts, member of the COM
pany came before the curtain to beg the
audience to kindly overlook and excuse
any shortcomings in the orchestra, as
the regular orchestra had been taken TO
Washington "by some club or other,
without notice to the management or TO
US, we expecting twelve musicians"
etc. The audience was somewhat
amused.
The costuming Of the opera was ex-
cellent, and the company can do much
better work than that of last night.

The Height of Courtesy.

The Queen of Saxony is passionately
fond OF children, perhaps for the very
reason that she has none OF her own.
Accordingly, she never fails to caress
baby when she gets a chance. Once,
when taking stroll in the park at
Dresden, she accorded nurse with
couple OF splendid babies in her arms
"Oh! the lovely pets!" she said.
''Twins, no doubt"
Eyes, your majesty"
'Their father must be very proud Oh
them"
This ones father certainly is, but
the other ones father has just died."
"But you told me they were twins. "
Then the nurse blushed, end said: II
beg pardon, it was not myself who said
so, but your majesty, and didn't
dare to contradict YOU"
