The movement to purchase the Cen
trail glass works, Factory TO-" of the
United States Glass Company, located
In East Wheeling, mention of which
has been made before In this paper, has
taken new life Mr. N, II. Scott, upon
his return from Washington City, has
taken up the matter vigorously, nsso-
clhted with other Wheeling people who
hold blocks OF the United States stock.
II Is expected that something definite
win be learned In few days.
Senator Scott, In speaking of the
movement last evening, said that the
Wheeling people who were formerly
prominent In the glass business now
feel encouraged to Ta-enter that line of
manutacturing, as the prospect for fa-
vorable tariff legislation Ia considered
very good.
"Wlll Cleveland consent to a higher
glass schedule than that In tho present
tarlff law7" was asked.
Yes, | believe he WILL" said Alr.
Scott. Something must be done 10 In
crense the revenues OF the government,
and higher customs duties Is the only
remedy that has been seriously con-
sldered."
The prospect OF the resumption Of
work In the glass industry In Wheeling
viii be the best OF Christmas news to
the community which has felt k0enly
the shutting down during the past two
years OF the two local factories now
under the control OF the United States
Gluss Company. All local holders OF
stock In the trust, II Is claimed, will
gladly aid In any movement to start
the fires at the Central as soon as pos
Sible.
In connection with the probable re-
sumption at the Central glass house In
the near future, the natural gas ques-
tlon, now very live topic in this city
has u decidedly important bearing.
Without natural gas for the glori holes
and leArs the cost OF producing glass
Is considerably increased, General
Manager Heard, OF the Natural Gas
Company OF West Virginia, was speak
Ing OF this to Senator Scott last even
Ing. He said that the present scale Of
PEELED TO furnish their commodity to
local consumers does not justify the ex-
pense OF seeking new gas bearing fields,
and for that reason gas could not be
furnished 10 manufactures. on the
other hnnd. said Mr.. Heard. with the
slightly higher scale which the gas
company asks to be allowed to charge
there would be an incentive to develop
new territory, with the effect that gas
In quantities sufficient to furnish man
ufacturinE establishments would be
brought to Wheeling.

A charming young woman who lives
on the West Side and her young man
found the Summit street cars packed
to the doors last Friday evening when
they started for the Auditorium, says
the Kansas City Star. Nothing daunted,
Miss West Side sought d place upon the
step of the platform. She had barely
room for one foot, and as the car
1urched and heeled she chung to
Charles big, strong hand. Occasionally
under the cover of the darkness, she
squeezed it tenderly, because-well, be-
cause she and Charlie are engaged.
And SO she held on to the hand for
many blocks.
Charlie said she, "aren't you about
worn out holding me on the car with
your one poor, tired hand?"
"WhatH cried Charlie in a Mortified
tone.
Mademoiselle looked up and then
dropped the hand frantically. She had
been holding to and squeezing the hand
of an entire stranger, a young fellow
with a black mustache and a pleasing
eye.

mademoiselle.
Don't mention it," replied the
stranger. You were entirely well
