Number-On and Theatricals Dis
cussed-The Names Registered
Yesterday.
Mr.. c. Vanmetre Gates, Miss Anita
Cluss and Miss Jennie Gardner Stew
art. members or "The Cluss Company"
of Washington, D. c., were guests at
the Mcclure during their visit and en-
gagement in this city yesterday. Miss
Cluss will be remembered as harpist
of national reputation, whose audiences
in the large cities of the East and at
Washington have included the most
cultivated of the land, and Miss Stew
art, the young soprano artist, has re-
ceived no less merited attention. Mr.
Gates at present is a student at Column
bia Law College, Washington, d. c.,
and is native and now calls this
State his home. To Register repre-
sentative last evening Mr.. Gates said
that the engagement of the "Cluss
Company" was hardly a success in
Wheeling this time in the matter OF an
audience Il rather deplore," said Mr.
Gates, the apparent tendency Of the
American people in a good many sec
tons of the country to patronize and
seemingly enjoy that which is light
and without the features of Intellectual
culture do not refer alone to Wheel
ing, for l know that there Is any
amount of culture and refinement in
this city, but somehow it does not al
ways exert itself or come in view"
Mr.. Gates expects to return to this
State after his law course and enter the
profession he has chosen. The party
left the city last evening for Washing
