ONE TO REMEMBER.
The Banquet to the Visiting Lawyers
an Elaborate Affair.

Probably the most elaborate ban
quet ever rendered visitors to Wheel
ing was that 10 hoaor of visiting del
egates to the meeting of the West
Virginia Bar Association, given by
Ohio County Bar Association at the
Mcclure last night The large din
ing hall was never more tastefully
and artistically decorated, the menu
was all that could be desired from
the best of chefs. and the gentlemen
who sat at the board formed a gath
ing than which there has never been
one more distinguished in its make
up in the history of the many brilli-
ant affairs of a similar character in
Wheeling. Nearly 200 gentlemen
occupied seats. In addition to the
visiting and home members of the
bar associations, there were many in
yited guests, who added to the bril-
liancy of the gathering.
1t was shortly before 5 o'clock
when the bauqueters entered the
large main dining hall. AS master
of ceremonies, ex Attorney General
Alfred Caldwell, of this city, occu.
pied the central position. and sur
rounding him we're men from all
parts of the state representing many
walks of life Lawyers, ministers,
doctors, bankers and business men
generally made up the whole, many
being distinguished in politics as
well as in their life work.
After the feast for the inner man
had been discussed with the relish
to which it was entitled, came an
intellectual feast that, if possible
eclipsed the former. Speeches were
made By number of gentlemen, all
of which were received with the ap.
probation and applause which their
high order justified.
Colonel White was introduced and
welcomed the visitors on behalf of
the Ohio county association. His
welcome to ''this feast of reason and
dow of soul' was eloquent and was
heartily received. His poem, "To
Joe and Bill" was appropriate to
the occasion. The colonel was the
recipient of hearth applause as he
closed.
The response to the welcome was
by Prof. w. p. Wiley and did that
gentleman credit. He referred to
the beautiful and unlimited hospi-
tally of the members of the Ohio
county bar in becoming terms He
interpreted his remarks with witty
illustrations appropriate to his sub
lect and won frequent and hearty
applause
"The Bench of West Virginia"
was ably handled by Judge T. p.
Jacobs. His remarks were dignified
and profound, and in dealing with
his subject he showed familiar
knowledge with English and Ameri-
can history.
"The Bar" was allotted to Mr..
George G. Sturgiss in the absence of
Mr.. John w. Mason. He referred
to the relations Of bench and bar
and appealed for higher standard
of qualifications in the applicant for
admission to the practice of the pro
fession. The association Shout be
inspired with the desire to elevate
the Observation-Disclosures.

THE CHURCH HAD NO PASTOR.
Rev. Mr.. McQueary Abandons His
Charge at Erie.

ERIE, Pa, Nov. 4.-The Universal
ist Church was closed yesterday for
the first time in so years. The pas
tor was Rev. Howard McQueary, who
was expelled from the Protestant
Episcopal church by Bishop Leon
ard, of Cleveland, five years ago, be-
cause in his sermons he denied the
divinity of Christ.
Mr.. McQueary was placed on trial
for heresy and the result was his ex
pulsion. He was at that time pastor
of the Episcopal church at Canton,
Ohio. From there he went to the
Universalist Church at jamestown.
N. T., and then came to Erie, where
he has been ever since. He has now
resigned his charge here, and the
church will be sold this week by the
sheriff to satisfy claims against the
congregation. When Mr.. McQuearv
made an effort to raise the debt by
subscription, the trustees took Of
Tense and asked him to attend sim
ply to his religious work.
Rev. McQueary was at one time
stationed at Morgantown.

Fear Foul Play.

Two weeks ago Alt. B. Nicely, of
Richie county, who has bees selling
school supplies and travelling in the
interests of the Order of Macabees
left Morgantown to join his wife who
is visiting her brother at Hagers-
town, Maryland. He failed to reach
that place and number of tee-
grams have been sent out to towns
in this State but as yet nothing has
been heard from him. Any one
knowing of Mr.. Neely's whereabouts
would confer a favor by communi-
eating with his wife as his friends
fear that he has met with foul play.
Mr.. Nicely is about 35 years of age
and there is no reason why he
should wish to keep his friends in
ignorance of his whereabouts.

New York.

The election in New York, city
and state, resulted as most careful
observers believed it would-namely
by the overwhelming victory of
Tammany over all its numerous enc
mics in New York City, and in the
election of the Republican State
ticket by greatly reduced plurality.
The size of Tammany's majority
surprised even sanguine friends of
the Tiger, and that animal may give
thanks for a large slice of it to
TEDDY" Roosevelt, whose fresh and
bumptious ofiicialism sickened and
Disguised the community with So
called reform" in the affairs of the
metropolis. AS we have frequently
predicted the revulsion has given
Tammany once more complete con-
troll in New York City.
In the State Gov. Morton's plu-
rality of over $4,000 last fall is re-
duced by about $4,000. which is
itself so magnificent Democratic
gain as to deserve to be entitled a
victory.
TO sum up, the result of the cleo.
ton leaves tho Democrats of New
York in most excellent shape for the
great contest Of next year.--Isegis-

HIGH DEATH RATE.
Typhoid and Diphtheria are Accounta-
BILE in Fayette County, Pa.

bic in Fayette County, Pa.
Diphtheria and typhoid fever are
prevalent IN Fayette county as well
as all over Western Pennsylvania.
At Uniontown the death rate is I'M
precedented in years and so far the
health authorities have done moth
ing to prevent further spread of the
disease. The town has no Board of
Health as required by State law. In
the last three months the mortality
has footed up to almost 200 and Of
this number three fourths of the
deaths have resulted from typhoid
and diphtheria.
Several coke plants throughout
the region have been afflicted with
epidemics of typhoid and diphtheria
Children have been the worst suffer
ers and especially those of foreign
parentage. Antitoxin has been used
in a number of diphtheria cases and
in most instances with good results.
Dunbar and Morrell have numerous
cases OF contagious diseases. No eff
forts have been made to isolate the
patients.
Here in Connellsville the death
rate began to increase above the or
binary about ten days ago. Typhoid
fever is causing most of the sickness.
There is not much if any diphtheria.
The typhoid cases are all traceable
to the use of impure we'll water.
The Mt. Pleasant Institute was
closed on Monday for three weeks
on account Of typhoid fever, or rath-
er in order that w. Wyant and
Mitchell of the foot ball team, who
are lying very i'll in their rooms,

the building. Several other strick-

homes.-ConnelsuiHe Courier.

EDITORS ARE HAPPY.
West Virginia Editors Pleased with the
Great Shew.

The West Virginia editors are en-
joying their stay at the exposition.
They came direct from Washing
ton city on special cars over the
Southern.
They are stopping at the Alham-
bra, on Peachtree street, where they
have headquarters After register
ing the entire association went out
to the grounds and mingled with
the thousands that were there.
The association viii remain until
Nov. 9th, spending the entire time
seeing the exposition. All of the
officers of the association sre with
the party. About thirty ladies are
also with the editors.
The party will again visit the
grounds in the morning. In the af-
ternoon they will go in body to see
Buffalo Bills Wild West Show. They
have secured seats at a special rate
and will occupy the reserved chairs.
President Reed said last night af-
ter his trip to the exposition that he
thought it was an admirable repre-
sentation of the thrift and push of
the south.
SIN great many respects it is
even better than the Chicago fair"
said the genial president. A mem.
Der of our party expressed the opin-
ion that it was better by far, consid-
ering the conditions, than the Chiea-
go fair.
81 think It is the best exposition
the south will ever see. | think it
is impossible to get up a better
one. The buildings are all beau.
tiful and the manner in which they
are situated makes it convenient for
every body.
"We were to able take only a birds
eye view and of course / am unable
to say anything about the displays
in the buildings. If the inside of
the buildings compare with the out
side it must be an elegant display.
I'VE will remain in Atlanta sever
al days and will see the entire expo
sition. We are delighted at what
we have seen of your city. A num-
Der in our party were at the battle
of Atlanta, when Sherman invested
the town. They are surprised at the
rapid growth of the city. We have
heard a good deal of Atlanta and the
Constitution and are well pleased
with both. You have truly a remark
able city.
The only programme for to-day
is the exposition and Buffalo Bills
Wild West show"-AHantd Consi-

The Baptist Banner in its notes
on the meeting of the Baptist Asso.
citation at Anderson says:
There was a wide sentiment of
dissatisfaction evident among those
present, over the treatment accorded
Prof. B. c. Anderson, at the State
University, last June. The Associa
ton recognizes in Prof. Anderson one
of the best educators in the State.
and they resent the summary dis
missal OF so good a man because he
was an educator and not a politician.
Such actions bring our chief educa-
tlonal situations into disrepute and
dampens the cordiaiity that ought
to exist between it and all the PEG
Pile"
The Banner is evidently trying to
introduce politics" into the man.
agement of the University, but that
is bugaboo that will not cut any
figure in the retention or ousting of
an instructor in the University. The
Banner gives US the first intimation
we have had of there being politics
in the action of the Board of Re
gents. The Banner evidently don't
know what it is talking about as
Prot. Anderson is Democrat and
five of the Regents are Democrats
and four Republicans and their &C
ton was unanimous. Prof. Anderson
graduated from the University in
June 1889, and consequently could
not have had more than six years
experience as an educator He is
scholarly young man but he does not
rank among 1.-The best educators of
the State" The best educators of
the State have had as many years
experience as Mr.. Anderson has had
of life. 1t is not such actions as the
Banner refers to that bring our
chief educational institutions into
disrepute," but the actions of sore
headed people who try to mix reli
gion with the government of the
school under the cloak of crying
"there is politics in it," If the Ban
ner can not say good word for the
first institution of the State it should
keep mum, for every intelligent man
in the State who knows the make up
of the faculty is aware of the fact
that all denominations are represent
ed and neither religion or politics play
anypart in the selection of instructors
Both the Democrat and Republican
members of the Board of Regents
took particular pains to impress this
fact upon the minds of all newspaper
men during their meeting in June
and the rankest partisan among the
many representative of the State
press lalled TO ind any politics in
the Boards actions. 1t is hardly
probable that the Banner will be able
to convince the embers Of the Bap
fist Church that they have griev-
ance against the institution because
member of the church lost his
place on account of his age and in
experience and not his politics. for if
politics had been "in it, Mr.. Alder.
sons politics would have insured his
retention. The "nigger in the wood
pile" is too evident in this case to
deceive any one. No one will believe
that the Banner voices the senti.
ments Of any one outside the Banner
office.

The western Earthquake Region.

~ " N7et@f - h@tsA
The Western earthquake last week
was unusually wide in lis territorial
extension. With it's centre in the
old seat of seismic disturbance about
Cairo, Ill, it was felt all over the
Mississippi and Ohio Valleys as far
east as Ohio, as far north as Michi-
gan and Wisconsin and as far south
as New Orleans.
The shocks caused much distress
and alarm, but there was no serious
damage done except at Cairo, where
the beautiful library building, me
mortal Of the late A. B. Stafford, was
badly injured.
Whatever may be the cause of
earthquakes on shelving coasts. those
that so frequently visit part of the
Mississippi Valley seem clearly to
be Of volcanic origin. The hot springs
in Arkansas constitute a volcanic
outlet, and the earthquake history of
the region seems to establish a mark
ed connection between the ebullition
Of the hot water and the seismic
shocks
In 1911 the region over which last
weeks shocks extended was shaken
almost daily for many months. New
Madrid, Mo, little south of Cairo
was the centre of disturbance. Great
assures were opened in the earth.
The settlers, observing that these
cracks ran mainly north and south,
felled trees east and west and built
their cabins upon them for protec-
ton. The Mississippi river ran up
stream for three days at one time
In West Tennessee great tract of
land suddenly sank, water taking its
place and forming what is now known
w hoHSi uuSu, uuCh uunJeIS anu OJn-
ers as Reelfoot Lake. To this dav
trees that sank with the land NAV be
seen standing upright beneath the
waters of the lake.
Had the region been populous then
with cities as fimsily built as many
cities are in our time, the earth
quakes of 1911 would unquestionaoly
have cost thousands of lives and
would have ranked with those of
Lisbon, Caracas and Callao as his
toric disasters Another earthquake
year" such as that one was in the
region involved would be a national
calamity. Fortunately as the earth
grows older such disturbances are
less and less to be expected.-N. y.

The Presbyterians will make a
mistake in building their college at
Elkins. They will have to raise
$50, 600. or an amount equal to that
offered by Hon. S. B. Elkins. The
same amount put in a dormitory at
Morgantown would give the Presby-
terrain students advantages that the
church cannot have at Elkins with
an expenditure of less than half a
million dollars. Tuition is free at
the University and Presbyterian
students could be educated here for
half the money it will cost them at
Elkins
