1lEF;nIlRTHER ARRESTS MADE

LONDON, April 6.-Crowds of peo-
street early this morning, and the
police court was filled with interest
ed spectators as Soon as the doors
were opened. Among those who
succeeded in passing through the
crowd was one good-looking, middle
aged woman. All were anxious to
see Oscar Wilde, whose arrest yes
terday, following close upon the SEN
sational termination of his suit for
libel against the Marquis of Queens
berry, is discussed on all sides. c.
f. Gill, who was Edward M. Car
sons junior counsel in the defense
of the Marquis of Queensberry,
acted as prosecutor today for the
treasury department. Sir John
Bridge, the presiding magistrate,
took his seat on the bench at IL
o'clock. The doors leading to. the
cells were then opened, and Wilde
was seen approaching, carrying a
silk hat in his hand When he
reached the center of the prisoners
dock, he deposited his hat on the
seat, bowed to Sir John Bridge,
folded his arms and leaned on the
rail of the dock in the same insolent
manner which he displayed while on
the witness stand in the Old Bailey
mr.. Gill said that he appeared to
prosecute the prisoner on a series of
charges of melting boys to terrible
crimes, and of actually committing
acts of

the cross-examination of Parker, as
the evidence had taken them by
surprise. Parker was then bound
over to testify at the trial of Wilde,
which is to take place in the Old
Bailey. Parker was deadly pale
when concluding his testimony, and
asked to be allowed to take seat,
as he was not feeling we'll. The
woman previously referred to as
having entered the court room early
in the morning was the next wit
ness. She gave her name as Mrs.
Grant, and said she let rooms to
Taylor, who, she added, was visited
| by a number of young men. When
Mrs. Grant was asked to state the
ages of these young men, she re-
! piled that they were from sixteen
upward The statement caused a
sensation in court. Mrs. Grant was
then asked if she could identify
Wilde as visitor to Taylor's rooms
She replied that she could not

said that she remembered Taylor

Replying to further questions, Mrs.
Grant SAID that Taylor's rooms were
well furnished and highly perfumed

nately. The witness also said the
boys had etaid all night with him.
+ Before Taylor left Mrs. Grants
rooms sergeant of police went to
his apartments and secretly watched
Taylor's proce. dings. Sir John
Bridge asked Taylor if he desired to
ask the witness any questions. The
prisoner replied: mot yet
Alfred Woods, slim, nice-looking
young man, was then called to the
stand. He testified that Taylor in
troduced him to Wilde in January,
1893, and that he (the witness) COM
m1tted indecencies at Wilde's own
house, while the latter's family was
away. The witness added that
HE WAS INTOXICATED
at the time, as Wilde had previously
given him champagne, whisky and
hook. Continuing, Woods said that
Wilde afterwards gave him a great
deal of money and a watch and
chain. Witness also said that soon
afterwards he told Taylor. that he
wanted to get away from Wilde and
those people. Counsel interrupting,
said: Let us deal with the case of
Wilde alone. But I believe there

GROSS INDECENCY.

The prosecutor then related how,
In 1898, when Wilde was staying at
the Savoy hotel. Alfred Taylor (who
was arrested today acted as pro-
curer for Wilde, who repeatedly
VISITED Taylor's house. Continuing,
Mr.. Gill said that the prosecution
proposed to show how Taylor APP
Sprpached a young man named Par
ker, who was valet out of a po-
sition, and his brother, a groom.
fTaylor, it was stated, had told them
how money could be made by going
with gentlemen, and said that Wilde
was a man who gave much money
to youths and men. They finally con-
sented, and it was arranged that
they should be introduced to Wilde
at dinner, which he would give in
private room at Kittner's restau-
rant.
After this dinner Wilde announced
to Taylor, who was also present.
that Charles Parker was the boy
for him, and he took the latter to
the Savoy hotel, where he COM
mitted crime.
The Parkers were called to the
stand, but the proceedings we're in
terrupted by the official announce
ing that Taylor had been arrested.
A few moments later Taylor was
: brought into court, and placed in
the dock beside Wilde, who nodded
to him. Parker was then examined,
and related at length, giving the
most minute details of his intimacy
with Wilde. He stated that he
visited Wilde at the Savoy hotel, at
the Albemar}e, at Wilde's chambers
and at other addresses almost daily.
While Parker was giving his tes-
timony Wilde moved restlessly in
the dock, and passed his hands over
his face. Parker added that he was
arrested with Taylor in the raid in
1894 in the house in F'itzroy square,
but he claimed he had since aban-
doned his evil life. Counsel for

A DIFFERENCE.

The Encyclopedia Britannica NO
doubt is q valuable work for the dream
er, the theorist or the man OF leisure
who can devote plenty OF time to look
ing up such abstruse subjects as the In
finitesmal calculus, the catacombs OF
Rome, or the dreamy time before the
flood, but when it comes down to mod
err events, to use the latest slang, sit
is not in it."
According to it Encyclopedia Britain
nica), Albany, the capital OF New
York State. is still an. overgrown town
OF only 10000 or so inhabitants, Denver
. is still hamlet of $4,000. while Chica-
go is put down for the modest popula
ton Of trifle over 100000.
The spirit of the age is to say what is
10 be said in the least possible words.
We moderns do not want to wade
through howery avenues OF beautiful
phrases, by which the Encyclopedias
Britannica has been spun out to the
wearisome length Of "a cumberson VOL
umes, but to get at the wheat OF the
subject at once, disposing OF useless and
meaningless words to the idle dreamer
or the four winds of heaven.
The "Americanized" yclopedia
Britannica condenses the information
given in the "a volumes OF the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica into 10 solid, substan -
cal volumes, in which every sentence
bristles with Invaluable information,
and in which you can get at the meat
of a subject without wading through a
forest OF meaningless words.
The Americanized Encyclopedia
Britannica gives in addition the worlds
progress OF the past Is years, together
with nearly 1000 biographies OF living
people who have contributed to that
progress.
Its maps are the latest, its informa-
ton Is the freshest, and in word it
appeals to the common-sense man
whose interest in the welfare OF his fam.
lily is greater than his love for tradi-
ton.

vites all to examine this great work at

THE CONTRACT LET
FOR TEE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW
"PEWlKY" STATION,
Al the Foot Of Eleventh Street, in This City
w. Bsltz & Co., and 6allOck Bros.
the Lucky Bidders

After three or four years OF practi'
caIlv uninterruptede fort, and more op-
position and vicissitude than usually
falls in the way of cooperate effort at lm'
provement here in Wheeling, the con-
tracts for the erection of the "PewikV'
station building, at the foot OF Eleventh
street, have at last been let, and the i'm
provement will be completed early in
the coming summer. The foundation
and all other stone-work will be done
by Hallock Bros, and j. w. Beltz, Son
a. CO.. will erect the building, train
sheds, platforms, etc, their contract
covering everything but the stone WORK.
1t is promised that the necessary exca-
yatons, etc., will be started inside OF
couple OF weeks.
The railroad company has had very
dscouraging experience in forcing TINS
much-needed improvement through.
The first opposition encountered was
from the river interest, which claimed
the wharf would be ruined by grant
OF as much of the landing as the rail-
road people at first deemed necessary.
Several attempts TO get an ordinance
through Council resulted In failure, al
though the influence of the Board OF
Commissioners was thrown to the
side OF the company, In wnlch
the county is largely interested. Fin
ally the Railroad Company modineo
very materially the size OF the strip OF
land wanted along the wharf, shorten
ing its proposed retaining wall and NOV
lpR IL a considerable distance east OF
the original location, but even then the
river interest was not quite satlshed,
while number Of owners OF adjoining
property took hand in the controversy,
on one side or the other.
After a systematic effort extending
over about three years, an ordinance
was finally passed by the present Coun'
Gil, in a still more modified form, and
the Railroad Company naturally thought
its troubles were over-but they were
not.
The next obstacle the corporation en-
countered was the claim OF a lady who
lived In a small house Immediately
adjoining the present station building
on the north. She had lived there
for about twenty years, and declined
to vacate. The Railroad Company at
tempted to reach settlement with her,
which failed. They then brought suit
and the Company was beaten. Finally
the Company paid sum approximating
81, OO0 and got the land and tore the old
house away.
BY this time 1t was too late to build
last year, but the retaining wall along
the Water street front was put in, aud
there operations have rested up to the
present time.
A number of city and outside firms
bid on the new station building, bat
j. W. Beltz, Son & Co. and Halock RIOS.
carried off the work. The new build
ing will be a handsome and commodi-
Gus one, and the plans include large
train sheds and platforms for the &C
com IN odaton Of patrons and the move
ment OF light freight. The com pletion
OF the work will materially improve
the looks of things about the north end
of Water street..

MONTE CRISTO.

Although James O'Neill cannot write
his name on a check for the same
amount as the Count Of Monte Cristo,
nor carries "S1, 100000 10 treasury
bonds in some corner of his inside
pocket" the wealth he has ACQUIRED
during the ten years he has been play
ing Dumas masterpiece entities him TO
prominent place on the list of Ameri-
can actors, who have made fortune
on the stage. Every season he adds TO
this fortune through his never ending
success with the good, old play. AS
fascinating as during the earlier days
OF Monte Cristo," Americas only sur
viving romantic actor gives as spirited
a representation OF Dumas hero as be-
fore, and the whole production is com
plete, so far as scenery and costumes
are concerned. A carefully selected
company will support Mr.. O'Neill on
his visit at the Opera House on Mon
day, January 2lst.

Art for the People.

The lecture by Mr.. VIM. Ordway Part
ridge, which was delivered yesterday after
noon at the Columbian University. was
listened to by a large audience of the
sculptors friends, local artists and stu
dents His subject, art for the People,"
was handled in a comprehensive manner,
particular stress being laid upon the neces-
sity of including art as regular fea-
ture of common school education. In con-
nection with this Mr.. Partridge said: In
order to educate the people to an apprecia-
ton of the fine arts must begin with
the children In the public schools. a few
years ago the study of art was privilege
which few could afford to undertake. Now
there Is scarcely public school in the land
where some order of art training is not
given to the pupils gratis, and further
more in limited number of schools, prin-
cipal!y in New England, excellent photo
graphs Of the masterpieces of great artists
are hung upon the walls so that the chill
dren may grow to love to look at beautiful
things.
I'VE must also convince the people,. he
said that art Is not a luxury for the
Idle ard rich alone. but that 1t Is an In
tensely practical thing, something that Is
to widen their horizons and affect very
greatly their social well being. The mo-
ment we bring artistic training and taste
to the commonest product of labor we
bring to IL a grace and beauty which en-
hances it's value many times.

IncrcnNc of Dcgrnla ton.

A lecture. intended to be Introductory to
an advanced course OF scientific sociology.
was delivered last evening before the
students of Columbian University by DR..
Arthur AiacDonald of the bureau of edu-
cation. Charities. crimes and other forms
OF ahnOrmalIty was the theme. and the
lecturer quoted statistics given at the
congress of experts. which assembled at
BUda Pesth last September, TO the effect
that the increase of moral and physical
DEGRADATION among young men Is evident.
This opinion was founded on the observa-
tiCnS of those who made the physical eX-
amir atoms year after year FOR the stand
ing armies OF the countries of the old
world. Dr. Macdonald did not think this
ccrclus.on warranted the belief that the
world was constantly growing worse. but
that II has been growing worse for the
last five years. The lecturer gave an ex-
bibitiou of recent Instruments for the
Cumulative measurement of the emotions.
