The show windows of the retail mer-
chants are beginning to take on dis
tinctly gay and hohday-like appearance
and interviews with a number of thcm
during the past week developed "a feeling
of confidence that the business between
now and Christmas would exceed the aver
age of the past three years. Liberal pur-
chases of holiday and winter goods nave
bsen made of late. and many OF the con-
sienmeuts are already on sale. Last eve
ming a stroll along Main and Market
streets revealed many handsome displ1Fs
by retail merchants and the ensuing ten
days will very materially add to the att
tractiveness of the retail district after
dark.

Speaking of the custom house, the reve-
nue. department of the government has
just issued a bulletin naming Wheeling
as port of entry. Wheeling was a full
fiedged port years ago but through some
operation not now understood she was
not only taken off the list, but the record
Of the fact was lost. and when the matter
was lately brought to the attention of the
department no one could be found who
knew anything about the matter.

There is no installing the fact that in
dications point to somewhat OF a boom
i'm many manufacturing industries and
that those employed in the various works
around Wheeling will see better times than
they did last winter. The partisan Repub-
leans claim the credit of this for Nc
Kinley's election and the so-called resto-
ration of confidence. A manufactures,
who is a Republican. stated yesterday
that the boom was bound to be felt, re-
gardless of whom might be elected. Or
ders had accumulated and We're awaiting
filling. That business should revive some
what after an election is but natural and
i'm accordance with the history Of all
previous periods following a national cam
paign. The great danger lies in a reac-
ton, such as comes from producing more
than can be purchased or found a market

Occasionally one hears an enquiry as TO
what has become of the building ordin-
ance which Council was going to pass
SO fast about a year and a half ago. More
than eighteen months have elapsed since
the lamentable collapse on Main street,
which demonstrated in an awful way how
some building operations are conducted in
this city. and Council made a great demon
stration i'm the line OF preventing such u
misfortune i'm the future. A very fair
ordinance was slowly licked into shape,
everybody appeared 10 be in favor eff its
passage, yet the thing was quietly choked
10 death without any very great amount
of attention being attracted to it, The
same thing happened once before when
Council attempted to pass such an ordin-
ance 1t had any number of friends-if
one could believe the statements made for
publication and the assertions ON the cor
ners of the streets. yet it died mysterious
~. The sad fact shines out in this matter
that a good many of those who want
such a measure don't want it a good deal
harder. And Council never did have much
nerve-less now, perhaps, than ever

Cleveland, Feb. 26,-Upon learning
last evening Fitzsimmons' objection to
accepting the Bolingbroke clubs $4,000
offer on the ground that the amount
OF the purse was too small, Corbett wir-
ed Fitzsimmons a proposition to bet
him as a side stake any amount from
81 900 up to 100000. Corbett said last
night
"Fitzsinmons' agreement to the sec
ond postponement at Ell Paso resulted
from the decision of jury of sporting
men. A jury might decide if he is
afraid to fight me or not, or If he has
any sensible excuse for not doing it.
don't think the size of the purse or any
side bet is being considered by the Aus
tralian, because he knows that all he
will get of the encounter will be a good
hard whipping and the losers end of
the purse"

VIII You Wear n Plain or Trimmed
One on the Wheelt
The battle Of the skirts has taken the
nlace of the battle of the sleeves, which
was fought out to the bitter end some
months ago, and opinions are divided a. 70
which will attain the supremacy-tne plain
or the trimmed skirt.
In the meantime. however, the skirt has
gained a decisive victory over the cycling
boomers, and all the smartest wheolwo-
men now arc wearing plain skirts, cut short
enough to display the neatest Of shoes.
Such q gown has perfectly-hAn9in9
skirt and srnartly-cut coat OF gray alpaca,
narrowly bound with blue silk, while there
is a fascinating glimpse afforded Of q blue
striped silk skirt, with. a little rufied frill,
while, Of course the inevitable ceinture
puts In an appearance.
Opinions are divided, and, though some OF
our elegantes arc .bedecking their skirts
with many little foamy frills, others there
are who remain faithful to the old favorite.
A typically fashionable skirt has on back
ground Of soft pink glace silk two little
frills, outlined by black velvet baby ribbon.
and headed by a putting Of chiffon. caught
in here and there by sundry little bows Of
velvet, which are connected with the waist
by line stripes again Of the velvet.
The bodice is trimmed in the same way,
and the prettiest Of effects can be-Secured
by using chiffon in two shades Of pink,
while an even more rose-like appearance
could be effected by utilizing leaf-green
velvet. Black velvet. though. is more
strictly fashionable.
