The Hrh school Project.

WHEELING, w. VA, February II.
To the Editor Of the REGISTER:
SIR:-As your paper is edited for the
benefit OF the pauper and nabob alike,
allow me as citizen and taxpayer to
enter my solemn protest against any
and all expenditures and appropria-
tions which are not Of sufficient worth
to be placed to the credit OF State,
county or municipal government. 1t is
not enough for our school commits
sioners to erect costly palaces for the
education of our good boys ard girls.
but, as il the taxation OF our city and
county was yet insignificant, they must
needs spring another little tax game OF
superior order in the shape OF a high
school boom. Shades of evening! just
think OF it a moment. reader, and de-
termine in your mind Whethersit is not
good policy to have watch dog" at
various places In the city and county
who will assert his individuality
by telling these kid glove gentlemen
that "thus far shalt thou go, but no
farther" Let these gentlemen read up
little on the opinions OF some OF the
living and dead on this question of ex-
travagance in public schools, and we
think that if they be possessed with
common intelligence they will find that
many of our wisest aud profoundest
men have taken their stand against
the abuse Of power centeIed in and
around our educational systems. Ger
rit Smith, one OF our noblest Romans,
has said that 1.-THE way TO break up our
common school education is to give it
unbridled sway in the shape OF mon
Strous taxation" l could quote many
others, both living and dead, who have
added their voice in depreciation OF the
abuses of State and county officials in
the capacity Of commissioners. Is it
not time then, when, with as fine faCil-
ties as we have 10 our county and city,
for the common education Of
our boys and girls, to enter
our protest against using the public
funds for a higher degree of efficiency?
If we submit to the yoke which these
enlightened commissioners are about
thrusting over our heads, what security
have we that within few years they
may be erecting and maintaining
schools ia the science OF medicine, or,
if you please, building theological sem
inaries where you can study the mis-
takes OF Moses, or, more properly,
Moses's account Of the creation. / tell
you, gentlemen, it won't do. Our schools
at the present time are adequate and
amply sufficient for all requirements in
business. II those who are able and
desire their sons and daughters should
ascend farther upwards in the sciences
and arts, let them do it at theirindi-
vidual expense, not take it from the
beggar who tramps your streets. With
these few reflections | sign myself, an
implacable foe to all useless expendi-
ture. TAN PAYER.

near TradeDhia Sunday night. MIR.
Fey was born on the farm where he
died in 1906, having spent all his
life on the same farm. he had
often been heard to say he had seen
Ohio county grow from almost a wild
erness to what II now is. Wheeling
was only a small village with few
houses when be first saw it; there were
no roads to it which might be termed
more than COW paths. Mr.. Feay had
one son and seven daughters. His son,
VIM. g. Feay, who was member Of Car
Inns Battery, OF this city, died in one
the southern prisons, having been cap
tured by the Confederates. Que Of his

Two prominent attorneys of this county,
A. V. Dively and G. l.. Owens, quar-
relied in the court house to-day, defied
each other to combat, and the next mo-
ment they were clinched in q go-as-you-
please fight.
Neither observed any rules, and both
meant business. The battle had ragged
for some time and the general opinion
was that Owens was "doing" Dively to
the Queens taste, when Prothonotary
Hortman took hand and finally sue
ceeded in separating them. Others in
terfered and the fight was called off for
that time and place.

THE GORILLA PROFESSOR.

Prof Garner, the scientist. who ha,
been studying the domestic habits and
manners of the gorillas in Africa. and
who got himself shut up In an iror
cage in the jungles for the purpose OF
being near enough for observation. bu,
not too near for comfort, is at presen,
On a visit TO his home in the United
States.
Tho Professors experience Is not &C.
cepted with unlimited confidence in
Europe. A man named Mclaughlin, who
processes to know all about 1t. tells the
Paris Figaro that Garner was only in
the Jungle two nights, whereupon Labou-
chere makes fun Of the Professor in the
London Truth.
When these facts were made known
to Prof. Garner In Cincinnati, his COM
ments were brief and very much to the
point, II want to be emphatic right at the
start" he said. This fellow McLaugh-
lin is a liar, and I will simply slap La
bouchere's face when return to Eng
land"
The remarks OF the Professor will
probably change some OF the opinions
of his two critics. Mr.. Mclaughlin may
now be willing to admit that the Profess
sor was among the gorillas long enough
to catch some OF their manners, while
Labouchere may be OF the opinion that
It would be better to confne Prof. Gar
ner to his iron cage a little longer.

In the space at the back OF the audience
Immediately behind the orchestra chairs.
The contention OF the defense is that
this space is not a passageway, and 1t Ia
claimed that the courts have 80 ruled.
1t is not denied that people were stand.
ing there as alleged in the complaint.
As the audience in that part of the
house pass In and out OF the theatre
along this space, 1t IL not easy to un-
derstand by what legal legerdemain 1t Is
made anything else than passage"
Very frequently II is made a pretty
difficult passage to navigate In conse-
quence of the crowd OF purchasers of
Admission tickets" only by which
1t is choked up.
The new law Is good one. and It is
to be hoped Il will be enforced. To fill
the aisles and passages Is peril to
human life In case of fire besides being
an abominable nuisance to ladies pass
ing in or out OF theatre.

Visits Of coincidence are made week
after the funeral. A card is left. and
no effort Is made to see those who are
in sorrow. A number Of women have
asked II 1t is proper to send invita-
tions to friends who are in mourning.
OF course. one would not do this until
after a month had passed, but after
that time 1t Is quite proper. and GER
tainly friends who have had sorrow
come to them do not like to think that
they are forgotten. It is no longer con-
sidered in good taste to have "R. 9. ".
p" In the corner, but. instead. are the
English words: "The favor Of an an
swer Is requested" This Is. however.
never written on dinner invitation. for
that presupposes a reply.

A MINISTERIAL TRIUMPH.

Lord Rosebery has done It. He is now
the British Prime Minister In earnest.
He has won the Derby, In addition to
the Two Thousand Guineas and the New
market Stakes. and his position Is
assured.
The blue ribbon IL the Englishman's
idol. He bows down before 1t and wor-
ships It. Talk about majorlties on a
Home Rule bill or q suffrage bill, or a
lard bill or Budget! Why. a victory on
EPSON Downs will do more to strengthen
. Ministry than all majorities ever rolled
up In the House of Commons by the
efforts Of the busiest whips.
As the news of the race was flashed
across the cable and wires by the Asso-
ciated Press. 1t was felt everywhere that
the English Ministry was safe, not be-
cause Of eny wise stroke OF policy. not
bece use OF any great piece of statesman
ship. any adroit manipulation Of a vote
or any ovormastering ability in a debate
but because a great colt, the popular
favorite. the pet of all the English
stables. had carried OF the honors of the
Derby and bestowed the blue ribbon or
the Premier.
So. hurrah for Home Rule. and may 1t,
triumph be as assured as the great vic

A WORD 10 THE POLICE BOARD.

The Police Commissioners are naturally
Indignant that their inspectors and cap
tains and ward detectives should be
? charged with levying blackmail on places
Of evil resort In the city and that the
charges should bear SO unmistakabfy the
impress Of truth. No doubt the revela-
tion In great shock to them, and their
desire to cleanse the Department Of such
wicked people 10 creditable.
But we would respectfully suggest to
the Commissioners that It is always bet
ter to attend to one thing at time. es-
pecially when that thing Is being we'll
done and is likely to prove a grand sue
cess
The Lexow Committee is very rapidly
and very effectively bringing to light ab-
solute proof of the guilt of the accused
officers. When the Committee gets
through with its work, as 1t looks now,
there will be little need Of further inves-
tigation. There is no necessity for haste.
The people have borne with the evil for
90 many years that they can readily sub
init to Its endurance for a few weeks or
months longer. Besides, II the Police
Commissioners are 80 impatient for the
publication OF the Department they can
accomplish their object much more speed
lily and certainly than by starting a sort
Of counter investigation. which can only
have the effect of embarrassing and in
timldating the witnesses under a cross
fire Of examination and suppressing vol
unteer testimony altogether.
THE Evening World" suggests to the
Commissioner and especially to Supt
Byrnes. the expediency of enlisting as
aides to the Lexow Committee instead Of
starting a sort Of opposition trial court
IN antagonism to that body. Let them
at once suspend the accused police off,
GERS from duty pending the Committees s
investigation, II they have the power un-
der the law to do SO. That will remove
the terrorism that now keeps witnesses
{ out OF the way. Let them then issue a
formal notice that no one will be allowed
to suffer who may testify before the
Committee and back UP the appeal Of
DR.. Parkhurst to the members Of the
force to come forward and tell truth
FULLY all they know OF the methods that
have prevailed for years.
In plain language, let them help the
Lexow Inquiry instead of hindering It.
This Ii the more desirable because the
Lexow investigators have already been
peeping into the Police Commissioners
private Offices. and 1t will be very unwise
sition to shut the doors in their faces.
