the building was on fire and asked that
several sections of hose be sent at once to
the scene without turning in an alarm.
The hose was taken down by Driver Tay-

steam was necessary. The fire was quickly

DO We sGEEP roo MUcHs

According to Edison, the inventor,
we sleep too much and waste in bed the
greater part OF the day which should be
spent more rroftably in active employ
ment. He takes the position, which
will be stoutly combatted by most Of
Us, that two hours sleep IS enough for
anyone. and that that may as well come
late at night as early, or whenever Il IS
most convenient.
EDIsoS's position is that the habit OF
sleeping during the night arose in the
DAYS when there was no artificial light,
and when there was nothing else for
peoole 20 do after daIb except to sit
around or sleep. The habit OF ten
hours sleep was merely way Of dis
Dosing OF so much time which could
not be employed in any other manner.
During the days Of candle light aud
torch light this habit continued because
few industries could be carried on By
the old means OF artificial illumination.
Now that electricity has developed
the art OF artificial illumination Until
The night can be as bright and light as
the day, Mr.. Edison thinks that the
produetiveness Of human industry could
he doubled, and that the returns TO the
individual could be proportionately in
creased through the opportunity given

Yesterday than upon any day this sea-

rent and there are quite number of
inquiries.
The hotel accommodations are far
superior to anything Of late years, and
the lodging rooms at the Assembly hail
will be adequate TO accommodate all
corners at reasonable prices. Among
the Wheeling people that cams yester-
day or the doy before are. Rev. Buckley
and family, of the Island, Mr.. A. l..
Wiley, Mr.. Thompson, of the South
Side. Rev. Barr, of Fairmont, was
present yesterday and his family will
arrive soon. Rev. Grimes, OF Mounds
Vile, and family, have cottage in Cen
trail Park. Mrs. Crow, of Littleton, and
family. are in Thomas Stones cottage.
People who who are afraid OF storms
will rejoice in the removal OF the old
oak tree in the South park that has
been the cause of so much trouble.
Miss Annie Peiey who has been con-
fined to the cottage for about week
with a severe case of gastric truoes is
able to be out again.
Yesterday was a big day and to-day
will be far ahead Of it unless all the
signs fail. One of the pleasant features
of Moundsville camp is the reunion OF
so many acquaintances Of former years.
One sees people here they meet nowhere
else aud the renewal OF these pleasant
friendships is better felt than told.
