George Washington. in a costly frame.
Mr.. John ]. Coniff read a letter from Mr..
Hess, dated in New York. regretting his
inability to be present In his behalf Mr.
Coniff made the presentation speech. His
remarks were patriotic in character, and
he was several times interrupted by APP

The remainder Of the programme was
made up of musical and dramatical num-

manner as to receive the enthusiastic APP

Many MORE CHANGES
Made in the Fire Department Yes
terday.
The Force is Now Practically
Composed Of New Men, as Few
of the Old Force are Retained-It
Is a Move Which will Not be
Commended by Citizens.

A wholesale political change was made
yesterday in the city fire department force.
Changes were made at the Vigilant, the
Island. the Chemical. the Hook and Ladder
and the Eighth ward.
The Chemical changes are exactly as
stated in the Register week ago and
the entire force there Is now new. The
new force is Robert Bowman, foreman;
VIM Nelson. driver. and Ashby Jackson.
pipeman Bowman was foreman Of the
company before. Ashby Jackson, the COL
ored man. went on duty yesterday TAX
ing the place Of Richard Shaughnessy.
The others took their places before.
At the Vigilant George Beuter, driver. is
discharged in favor Of Joseph busch.
John Letzkus. foreman, is supplanted by
Moses Kindeberger.
At the island house the force Is all
changed, with the exception Of James Nc
Clement, who is promoted from driver to
foreman. The other changes are: Sam
Boggs and James Mendel, who take the
places Of Valentine Hubert and William
Anderson. Mr.. McClement, the new fore
man has been in the department for eight
or ten years. He Is a Republican and was
first appointed by Chief Dunning and af-
forwards re-appointed by Chief Healy,
during his three terms in office. He IS a
valuable man.
Al the Hook and Ladder. Dan Corners.
one Of the laddermCn, is removed, and
Henry Frohme OF the Eighth ward COM
pany. is given his place. Sam Gibbons
takes Frohmes place at the lower house
These changes were much commented
upon last night. and the apparent purpose
TO reconstruct the fire department on "a
partisan basis is much censured. II Is
about the first time such a wholesale policy
was ever conceived or put In effect in the
city of Wheeling. and does not argue good
for the future of the departments service
or it's efficiency Chief Healy made a re-
markable record as a fire chief. and his
success can be attributed principally to
the policy adhered 20 Of getting good fire
men without making party utilization a re-
quirement. The wisdom OF this course has
been plainly demonstrated and the peo-
pie Of Wheeling. and property owners es-
pecially. will regret to learn that politics
has so largely entered the fire service and
that the principal qualification OF an APP
plicant for the department depends upon
his standing in political party.

Mr. Taylor will be glad to meet as
many people in their homes as his linn
tied time will allow. He will endeavor
in private and public to show the su-
prenle importance of entering upon
and living the Christian life. Godli-
ness is profitable. Righteousness ex-
alteth a nation, but sin is a reproach
to any people.
1t is the purpose of the Evangelist to
pursuade people to put away sin. He
addresses himself in straig ightforward,
sensible manner to his task. He does
not believe in playing upon the feel
ings. He has no pet methods to rely
upon He concerns himself with but
one purpose. But often We will not
believe that VIC have sinned. We only
need to look in the glass in the morn
ing to convince us that we need TO
comb our hair.
The Bible is the worlds looking

manner of men we are. 1t is rare

He reads as if he loved it, as if he be-
lived it. But he wants men 10 be doers
