A Tryo OF Defeats.


The record of no defeats on the
home grounds has been broken. Beth
any walked over the local boys last
Thursday to the tune of IA to g..
There is only one explanation. The
Bethany team is very strong one.
1t is decidedly the best foreign team
that ever stepped on the South Nor
gantown diamond. Onr team while
a very. good one is not a top notcher
by any means. When two teams like
that come together there can be but
one result. 1t occurred.
There is one very great consolation
In defeat. We played strictly college
men, while Bethany had with them
ringers. 1t is to be hoped that for
the sake of pure athletics profession
alism in colleges will be abandoned.
Another game will likely be played
with Bethany later in the season and
Wheeling may be selected as the
place.
Saturd ay two teams were sent out
0oe goi ng to Waynesburg and the
scrubs 8 DING to Fairmont to play the
Normal. Both of these succeeded in
getting licked. The first team as
serts that they very badly treated il
Wayn esburg and robbed of the game
The score was to 3.
The second team Jared very well ir
Fairmont aside from being defeated
They were treated nicely. The team
however was not composed of normal
students, majority of it being out
siders. The pitcher struck out ID
men. He will enter the Univ ersity
next year. The score was s to A.
THERE will be no services at the M
p. church Sunday morning. Pastol
Barnes will be In attendance at Sun.
day school convention atAvery church.
The regular service will be held in the
evening.

small Scrap.

During the progress of the Betha
ny game Boardman Harris and
Nance Phillips had a misunder
standing and as result Harris head
is somewhat disfigured. The racket
arose over Harris obstructing the
view of Phillips and and others
When asked to remove he applied a
very offensive epithet to Nance. A
scrap ensued. Harris began to fun
BILE in his pocket as if to draw q
weapon, Phillips grabbed baseball
bat and swiped him one over the
head. The blow would likely have
broken the skull had the arm of the
injured man not received the first OF
it. AS it was, very ugly cash was
cut in his head and large quantity
of blood lost. A warrant was issued
for Nance and he was bound over in
in the sum of 800 to meet the ac-
ton of the grand jury. His father
was his surety. The sympathy of the
public is largely for the bat wieldel
although he is legally in the wrong
There are some things that cannot
be bourne even though the law does
not recognize them as such.

A Successful Woman.

a few days ago the St. Louis Post
contained picture of Mrs. Louisa A.
Starkwather, referring to her person
ally as one of the best known an(
most successful business women OF
st. Louis, and also saying that many
prominent people of the city were urg
ing her to become a candidate for the
school board. Mrs. Starkwather was
formerly successful teacher, but fol
number of years has been superin-
tendent of the woman's department
Of the Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York, with her headquarters
in st. Louis. 1t will be of interest
to our people to know that Mrs. Stark
wather is native of Monongalia. She
was born in Granville near fifty years
ago, her maiden name being Hall.
Her father is Thos. B. Hall and hel
mother was Miss Tibbs, both of whom
are living. Mrs. S. was raised in
Bloomington, ILL.,, but for long tim,
has lived in ST. Louis. She is hand

TEXAS POLITICAL GOSSIP.

4 NEW DEPARTMENT PROPOSED.

.
Thero is we'll defined movement on
foot, II seems, in Washington and among
leading republicans to add another Depart
mept to the government and create as Its
head another cabinet officer to BIO known as
the secretary Of commerce and industry.
The subject has been discussed before.
but without taking definite or practical
shape.
In all the European cabinets there Is a
department Of this kind. The duties per-
tanning to such branch involve the col
lection and tabulating Of STATISTICS relat-
ing TO the industries OF tho country and
ures looking to the extension OF the for
sign commerce OF the Nation and the ex-
pansion Of the domestic trade. Our CEN
sus bureau and labor bureau and agricul-
tural department now divide, in way.
work something like this, but 1t is con-
tended that only a separate department
with cabinet officer at It's head can fully
accomplish the ends in view.
uV 'SuuttiNt tutTklts anu DuhiutoS lIl-
forests OF the United States have undoubt-
eddy reached that point where one OF two
things is absolutely necessary for general
prosperity either domestic consumption
must be increased or our export trade he
enlarged. The annual surplus In this coun-
try must be more prohtably disposed Of
before the ''rosl good times return.
II the organization OF department de-
voted exclusively TO the Intelligent solu-
ton Of our trade problem would promise
satisfactory results. the additional expense
involved in tho creation OF the new Offices
could be endured with complacency. But
the public would expect and demand some
thing in the way OF accomplishment. II
the purpose OF the creation of new de-
partment be simply to furnish new oppor-
tunities for applicants for office and In
crease the patronage Of the party In power,
the scheme Is an unworthy one and can
not too soon be scotched. We have too
many dlgnihed snecures sn the govern
ment service now and are too hard run
financially to expend money on rainbow
chasing bureaus or ornamental depart
ments.
Properly organized, however, and Off
cered by men Of special fitness for the
work to be dono. II might be possible Ia
aid the commercial interests OF the Ma
uon greatly through the proposed depart
rnent OF commerce and industry. The
prcposit!on is worthy the careful consld-
eration Of congress at any rate
