Rev. Father Joseph schilp, OF st.
Josephs, Marshal county, has been in
the city for several days. He will re-
turn next week, to participate in the
exercises in connection with the formal
installation of Rt.. Rev. Z. j. Donahae
as Bishop OF Wheeling.
The musical feature OF the services in
Wheeling churches Is becoming more
interesting each year, as greater atten-
tion is being paid to it. The recent
organization OF vested choirs at st.
Matthews and st. Luke's p. E. Churches
is an evidence Of the deep interest
which is being manifested In music
There are few good vocaIists in the city,
and Wheeling has many or them, who
are not members Of some OF the various
church choirs. One Of the best choirs
in the city, in point OF numbers,
strength, training and artistic excel
lence. is that of the Fourth Street M.
E. Church, of which Mr.. Billiard is di-
rector. The Catholic and Episcopal
Churches, First and Second and United
PRESBYTERIAN Churches, and Hebrew
Synagogue, all have excellent choirs
and the music doubtless attracts many
persons to the services.
The attendance at the parochial
school. at ST. Alphonsus church,
now numbering more than 500 children,
is so large that more applicants
cannot be accommodated. One reason
for the erection Of the monastery was
TO make more room for the grow
ing needs of the school, and the third
floor of the building, formerly used as
a residence for the Capuchin Fathers,
will be devoted to school purposes. The
school will next fall be large enough to
accommodate all the pupils who desire
to attend.
A public exhibition Of the nature Of
the work done by Miss Corinne Camp
bell. in the Kindergarten in Washing
ton, D. c., was given yesterday morning
in the lecture room OF the United Pres
bvterian Church. The exercises were
very interesting. A great number of
Wheeling ladies feel deep interest In
this method of education.
The improvements to the First Chris
tiap Church, on South Market street,
are not vet completed. 1t will be sew
eral weeks before the edifice is ready for
holding services. To-day the conRrega-
ton will meet morning and evening, at
the HearDe Tabernacle, on South street.
The williams Shakespearian recital
at the Y. M. c. A., Thursday evening,
attracted large audience, and 1t may
safely be said that a better pleased au-
dience never left the building at the
close Of an entertainment.
From stand point Of wholesome en-
joyment, as we'll as financial returns,
the supper and social given Thursday
night by the ladies Of the First Baptist
Church. was a fattering success.
Rev. DR.. Mcclure will conduct the
morning services tomorrow at the
United Presbyterian church. In the
