THE DRIFT OF A CENTURY.
JIG would have been m insult to
one Of those grand old patriots who
laid the corner stone Of this repub-
lie and gave it such q fattering
start upon ito national career, to
have oven suggested that the time
would ever como when tyranny
as rigid and unrelenting as ever
ruled over the dynssties Of Europe
would WELD its sceptre over what
was then the fresst people on
earth, that the free citizen would
one day be transformed into snobs
and monied aristocrats on the one
hand and chringing slaves On the
other or that the stars ana stripes
would ever wave over the shrunken
cheek Of want and the pale lips of
starvation in the midst of wasting
wealth. He would not have be-
lieved that what then seemed to
him the intelligent and liberty low
ing people would ever submit to
such q condition. But what does

no one is responsible for food,

HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.
HENRY WILSON, THE CHECK
ARTIST, SENT TO JAIL,
By Justice Phillips, Yesterday-Au-
thorities Want Him at Parkers-
burg and Huntington-The
Butter Thief Captured
Yesterday,

Yesterday morning Henry Wilson,
the bogus check man, whose work in
this city and capture by the police
were detailed in yesterdays issue of
the Register, was arraigned before
Justice Phillips, on the warrant issued
at the instance of Mrs. John Kleves.
The accused had no counsel, and no
information of any value could be eX-
tracted from him, beyond the state
ment that he was a Denver railroad
man. He affected to be at loss to
understand why he was arrested, and
would admit nothing having the re-
hottest tendency to criminate himself.
He was held for the grand jury by the
Justice after a brief examination, and
in default OF $500 bail he was remand
ed to jail
AS stated in the Register yesterday,
there is a very lively and well-sus-
tanned demand for Wilson at several
points down the river. and a number
of towns where he is believed to have
operated are yet to be heard from.
Yesterday Chief of Police Turner, OF
Huntington. telegraphed to Chief Ben
nett for a description of Wilson, and
on receipt of it, telegraphed back to
hold the prisoner, as a warrant for
him was on the way. A similar war
rant will probably be issued at Par
kersburg, and perhaps at Charleston
also. The following telegram was re-
ceived by the Register from Hunting
ton last evening:
Chief Turner received dispatch
this evening from Wheeling that }.
Howard. alias J. II. Nelson, the man
who passed so many bogus checks
here. as telegraphed the Register Mon
day night. has been caught. The Chlel
will probably send after him to-mor-
row, as his many victims here oeSire
to prosecute him.
There is a we'll founded suspicion IN
the minds of the authorities here that
Wilson and Dunn, the crooks arrested a
few days ago for swindling, have been
pretty thick in the past, and color is
given this belief by the fact that Dunn
greeted Wilson warmly when the latter
appeared in Jail. Wilson, however
pretended that he did not know Dunn,
and repudiated his recognition and
friendship.
In this connection, the approaching
trial ofW. l.. Lowrey, another check
manipulation. who has swindled two or
three people in this city, at various
times. is of interest. 1t is more than
probable that Lowrey also operated out
in the State, at various points, year
or so ago, under the name OF Long, and
this may come out in some detail in
the approaching trial of his case.
Yesterday the police took up the case
of the theft of siXty-seven pounds OF
butter from the wagon Of Huckster W.
A. Allen, alluded to in the Register
and had no trouble in fixing the
crime on Louis Nolte, a well-known To-
cal crook. who has done time both at
Columbus and Moundsville. NOlte was
arrested very promptly and was taken
before Justice Phillips, who sent him
to Jail for hearing.
If this thing of capturing crooks and
thieves keeps up for few days the
coming term of the Criminal Court will
possess more than ordinary interest.

Wealth and Capital

What is wealth? Whatever can be
produced. either directly or indirectly,
Inv the application of labor upon land.
What is capital? That portion OF
wealth not consumed, but used for the
production of more wealth. Is all cap
ital money. or should we speak OF 1t IN
terms of money? Decidedly, no. For
instance. there is a form oil wealth,
which used as capital, will produce so
much new wealth that terms OF money
would not begin to express its value as
a wealth producer. 1t is hidden be-
tween the covers of the Amerlcanized
Encvclopedia Britannica, ana consti-
tutes the mass of definite ideas OF the
greatest thinkers of the world, giving

ADJUSTMENTS.
ALIMONY.

Tim Murphy and Eugene Garfield
come to the Opera House, Thursday,
March DIST, in their new play, Ali
mony." These two well known come
dians-the one of the character, the
other of the droll school-have united
to give something the public has long
sought, and that is variety in comedy.
Mr.. Herbert Hall Winslow originally
wrote "Alimony" on popular lines,
those suited to the times. These lines
are as we'll fitted now, but the changes
made since the opening of the present
season have all been in the way of Civ
ing opportunity to Messrs. Murphy and
Garfield. They are said to be cast bet
ter than ever before.

Tending it?" Affirmative, Ed. Ankle

Negative, Herman Bremen.
While our public schools do not pro-
fess TO give a finished education, yet
when our boys and girls master all
that is taught in them they are pre-
pared very well for all the business
affairs of life, and if they have attend
ed to all the teachings therein, they
are prepared to become good citizens.
While there is nothing like sectarian
religion taught in them, the true prin-
ciples of morality and right, which go
to make up true manhood and woman
hood, are taught if the teacher does his
or her duty. A high school is badly
needed in Wheeling, and the day must
be near at hand when it will be the
live question of the day. There is not
another city of its size in the United
States without its high school.

AMONG THE SCHOOLS.
What is Going on Among the Pupils and
Teachers of the City.

Tree planting is just now claiming
the attention Of the different public
schools. This is just as it should be,
for our city is too bare of shrubbery.
Some of the schools attended to this
matter last fall, but others are doing
it now. The Eighth ward commits
sioners will plant about forty trees
around the two buildings. Both the
beauty and the healthfulness of our
city would be much improved if more
attention was paid to tree planting.
The juniors of the entire city Will
appear before the superintendent OF
schools on next Thursday at Clay
school building to tell what they know
of reading, geography, grammar and
writing. Geography will be final,
and all are bending their very best
efforts to reach as nearly 100 per cent.
as possible in that study.
On Friday next, March 22d, at Wash
ington school, the seniors will be test
ed in algebra and rhetoric. This is
about the time of year when the aver
age senior begins to feel anxious as to
whether fortunes wheel is to turn in
HIS OI ueI ldFOI, anu, Ou, iON sum-
are wishing that they had studied
better during the whole grammar
school course than they had done.
A very interesting meeting OF the
A. b, C and D teachers OF the Eighth
ward school was held in the office OF
the main building on Wednesday fore
noon of this week, Supt. w. II. An
derson was present and he gave one
OF his very best talks on several sub
iects, more especially on the teaching
of reading. The subject, Methods OF
Punishment" was also discussed, all
agreeing that the old methods OF pun
ishments in use fifty or a hundred
years ago, ought to be abolished.
Never punish with strap until milder
methods fail.
At the meeting of the Longfellow
Literary Society yesterday, the follow
ing programme was rendered very ac-
ceptably by the seniors:

Natives Came in Thrnngs to Inspect the
Big Flagship.

Twenty three hundred people
visited the flagship Philadelphia
Saturday afternoon. OF this large
number fully two thousand were
natives, to whom, by the way, the
invitation had been specially ex-
tended. The two steam launches
of the war vessel, each with a cut
ter i'll tow, transported the visitors
back and forth. Twenty double
trips were made. On the vessel the
visitors were free to so anywhere
and see everything. Open house"
was the order of the day. The
natives enjoyed themselves hugely.
To them the big white cruiser has
been closed book Her inside
was full of mysteries. They were
shown everything, and all parts of
the ship was carefully explained
through interpreters. The average
time spent ABOARD was an hour and
a half. The last departed for the
shore shortly after 5 o'clock.

for use in the family residence, is the incan-

be safer. A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want 1t done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment Of quite number in

for holding the restive tail OF a COW during

family and his hired man had experienced

said he could never become Christian
while he had to milk the cows, for he
couldn't help swearing when one of their
tails struck him across the face. This firm
heard of the man, sought him out and
finally succeeded in disposing of one of
their springs to him under the solemn as.
surance that it would entirely cure him of
profanity. And from that day to this those
springs have never been known as anything
but "Christianizers."- ."-Lewistor journal.

! The Rattoon cane being milled Is as hard
as it is possible for cane to be, having been
subjected to severe drought during the
| whole period of its growth, and growing ON
land with trade wind exposure. Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves it to be Just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being better

The first mill is now allowed to open J-l6 in.

now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
! it formerly did the second, and this without
the old timed groaning, choking, and strain
| ing of the machinery.
| Behind the first and second mills we apply
hot water, the quantity for the past ~ days,
as per statement attached, has averaged 35
per cent. on the total juice from the cane.
The trash from the last mill is cut up much
| finer than before the Shredder was applied

as per statement 80 per cent of moisture and

The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to be taken 10 keep them
from blowing off, whereas before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was on
BY the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary to
| distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
first mill and throw back the long pieces.
! The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantial jon, and should cause little or no
! trouble, AS it is subjected to but light strains
You will see that by applying the Shred
der, our work in all departments has been
very materially mproved-obtaining a
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
| the Mill.
