THE STATE UNIVERSITY.



To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
SIR:-The report has been widely
circulated that the West Virginia
legislature, at its recent session, abol-
ished the preparatory schools of the
university.
This is not true. No department Of
the university was interfered with.
As liberal appropriations were made
for the support and development Of
the university as for any of the other
state institutions.
The idea is also prevalent that a
partisan board Of regents was created.
This is a mistake. The board of re-
gents will continue to be composed Of
nine members-flve of one party and
four of the other.
The university is in flourishing
condition with the largest attendance
in its history and will probably reach
ATS or more for the year. Young men
and young women of the state seeking
an education can make no mistake by
coming to the university to avail
themselves of its splendid advantages.

Abandoned Territory Proves a Bon
anZ0.

ANA.
A few years ago Morris township,
in Greene County, was the scene of
quite large oil excitement The
territory was apparently thoroughly
tested and thousands of dollars spent
in piercing the earth with holes
which of the dryest possible nature.
After a time these discourage
ments caused the talent to seek pas
lures new and this territory was al
most forgotten. But there were some
who thought that it had more hidden
away than it cared to reveal to the
casual searcher for the greasy fluid.
So they persisted in their search.
As a result of their persistence the
old forgotten field is now the scene
of fierce struggle for possession. A
gusher has been struck which is do
ing it's 400 barrels day with no APP
parent sign of falling below this pro-
duction. The well is a peculiar one.
1t only flows short time and these
come at regular intervals. 1t flows
twelve minutes out OF every hour
At first it was regarded as freak
and it was prophesied that the end
would come shortly. But these have
proven false and the we'll is produc-
ing to-day just as it did when first
struck.
The operators are focking in by
the scores sad other wells are being
rapidly put down. What success
will attend these efforts is yet to be
seen. This strike emphasizes PEI
culiar condition which is beginning
to attract considerable attention.
All the recent good strikes have
been made in territory which in
many cases has been discredited
and abandoned for years. 1t seems
that after rest old oil territory 10
just az good as It was in the first
instance. This may not be true, but
at present it looks like some meas
Hure Of credence should be given II.

a scant half dozen of Mr.. J. A Mitch
ellis airy little sketches which have
certain saucy grace and distinction OF
their own, easy to appreciate and en-
JOY but eluding description. However,
as Mr. Mitchell is the editor of Life
and all three tales, except Mrs. Lof
ter's Ride" have appeared in that pc
riOdical, it is not necessary to describe
them, for everybody reads Life The
title story is distinctly engaging &C
count of the Wooing of the first man,
which, on the whole, except limitations
in the matter Of choice, appears to have
been very like later wooings in its
essential particular. The first woman
seems very much up to date and yet
exhibits all Of those amiable failingS
which her daughters habitually attrib~
ute to Eve. Mrs. Letters Ride" is \
delightfully."- amusing sketch of the

Ventured one day when her horses were
sliced with the blind staggers, but
perhaps the most charming of the sto-
rles is "A Bachelors Supper" in which
for once the authors sentiment gets
the better of his humor, and, though
both are admirable of their kind, the
former is perhaps finer than the lat
ter.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan Be
tween the first and last sound of the

III, sufficient time is given to a person
TO drink ten ordinary glasses of beer.
Thls was demonstrated by an East
Water street saIoonkeeper yesterday
morning. He won a $40 bet by doing
so. 81 ortly before 10 o'clock there was
a discussion in the saloon about the
bell. The saloonkeeper remarked thai
It's strokes were too slow. In proof
OF his assertion he offered to bet 81
that he could drink ten half pint glasses
Of beer while the tower clock struck
that hour. One of the men in the sa-
loon put up SO against the saloon
keepers 81 that he could not do so.
A few seconds before 10 o'clock the sa-
loonkeeper began to draw a glass Of
peer from the tap and when the tower
clock began to strike he gulped it down
While drinking it he filled another
glass and SC on until ten glasses had
been consumed just as the last stroke
was heard. The saloonkeeper took his
$40 and announced that in a few DAYS

ing critic might yet have deduced the
relationship from the reading Of "Palla-
dia," for that very entertaining story,
while as different as possible from
anything that Mr. Crawford has actu-
ally done. bears certain distinct
family likeness to his romances.
Palladia Is a princess, the eldest daugh-
ter of H. S. H., the Prince Of Schoum-
burg Valdai, and when the novel opens
she is telling stories to her little sister
in her ancestral halls, while q snow
storm RACES without. She Is interrupted
in this occupation by the arrival of
the Grand Duke Of Corenthia, who is
seeking bride. With this Palladia's
adventures begin and they are viva
ciously told and interesting to hear, and
are, somehow. not very sensational,
though they involve dynamite and fre
and sword. Mrs. Fraser writes rather
too copiously. The book would have
been a better one had it been cut down
by third but the author is obviously
sincerely interested in her own char
acters-a fact which almost of necessity
interests the reader in them also, and
the movement Of the narrative is rapid
though often impeded by rather pur-
poseless dialogue.

Sister Jane" is the title of a story
of Georgia life by Joel Chandler Harris
The tale is a quiet, pleasing one, but
has not the charm which invests the
authors other work. 1t is, in fact,
just a little bit stupid. AS Mr.. Harris
is never in the least dull when writing
for children, it seems a pity that he
should attempt books designed for
their elders, especially as the latter
are his most delighted audience when
they listen to mis- tales over the young
peoples shoulders.

NEW YORK, Jan 9-St. Joseph's

gold and silver chalice. Father NOEL

he was doingE The man replied that
he was waiting to see one Of the priests.
Il am priest" said Father NOEL
voy.
Yes, but not the one I want to see"
replied the man. Then he walked out
OF the sacristy and fastened down the
road. A few minutes afterwards, Faith
er McElvoy discovered that one Of
four chalices belonging to the church
was missing. The other three chalices
were standing on top of the cabinet
outside of the case in which they were.
Father McElvoy then recalled that,
wien the man he found in the church
left, he carried something under his
coat. He now believes that 1t was the
missing chahce. The man has not

Love in the Ba.ck-WOOds." One is a

II not entirely so in it's outcome The
latter is the better tale, but both are
good. Mr.. Mitchell handles his noun
taineers in a way that convinces the
reader of their lifelikeness and also of
their humanity. They are primitive.
certainly, but we recognize in their
primitive traits the familiar faces Of
qualities which we know in more civil

is a safe principle, for the writer of
strongly localized stories to use as a

that he is never likely to be reproached
for falling short of the standard re-
quired Of his fathers son.
