AUDITING THE TRAINS

The B. & o. on Monday last issued
all of their trains, so that they can
make the proper changes in the trains
next month. The company does this
about month ahead of time, as in
the summer time the trains have to be
changed to suit the public, who do
more travelling. At this season of the
year the company generally reduces
expenses and take some of their trains
off. The next change will take place
about the month Of November. but at
this writing it is too early to say

THEY DECLINED SAUSAGE
How the Luetgert Trial Has Affected Chi
cago officials

Detroit, October 6.-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison, of Chicago, and his five asso-
ciates who visited Detroit last week, be-
trayed the fact that they had lost their
appetites for sausage, and cheese sand
witches were set before them. The six
Chicago officials declined to eat the sau-
sage. 'Oh. undoubtedly good, but we no
longer have an appetite for sausage" said
Mayor Harrison.
Commissioner of Public Work Mccain
made further explanation. It's a fact
that the people of Chicago have lost their
appatites for sausage" he said. mo jok-
ing about it. The Luetgert case is the
cause. The charge that Luetgert boiled
his wife in the vat where he used to
cook sausage meat and his admission that
he used aniline dyes to give the sausage
a blood color was too much for most of
us. We no longer have a laundering for
sausage. I'm not exaggerating when
say that the sales of sausage in Chicago
and l might say for all of Ilinois-hava
fallen off 20 per cent. since the Luetgert
case became SO famous. Why. half a
dozen sausage makers in Chicago have
failed in the last six months, and all on
account OF the Luetgert case One down
in Joliet killed himself because business
was so dull.

Co : Education in
The State University.

To the Editor of the Register.
The present statue of the State Uni
versity in relation to the subject Of the
co-education of the sexes is not very
well understood. 1t is known that some
female students are there, but how they
got there, and under what conditions
they are received, is not generally
known.
AS we understand the situation, it
is this: The long and somewhat bitter
contest which was waged, some years
ago, first in the Board Of Regents, and
then in the Legislature, for the admis-
sion of women to the University, cul-
minated at last in compromise by
which the opponents of the measure in
the Board agreed that they should be
admitted to the University departments,
but should be excluded from the pre-
paratory department. This concession
was made in the belief that it was a
virtual exclusion, because it was sur
missed that there were no women who
could pass the preliminary examination
necessary to enter the Uni
yersity departments, and the Prepare
tory Department being closed to them,
they could not elsewhere get the nee
essary tutorage to prepare them to en-
ter.
Nevertheless, very few women have
managed to enter from the time the
privilege was opened to them, and their
number has been increasing each year.
But it will be understood that every
female student who has ever been adj
mitted to the University and every one
who is now there is subject to condi-
lions which were intended to exclude
her.
This is very unjust and inexcusable
policy to be set up by a State institu-
ton. To admit women at all is conced-
ing the whole question as to the pro-
priety of their admission; and then, to
discriminate against the female SUI
dents by closing the front door, so to
speak, to them and requiring them to
come in by side entrance which is
also understood to be virtually closed,
is, to say the least, a little piece of
sharp practice" beneath the dignity
of a great institution.
Either shut the women Of the State
out altogether, or open the doors to
them as freely and fully as to the male
students. Don't make fish of one and
fowl Of another. Don't set up an I'M
just discrimination between them that
has no foundation whatever to warrant
it.
K The present administration of the
University which has recently been or
ganized with a new president at the
helm, has been heralded as a progress
sive, up-to-date administration. If
this be so, we opine that there will be
=
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1897-10-07

speedy change OF front on the policy
Of the University in relation to women
If President Raymond is the progressive
man he is represented to be he will
favor the co-education OF the sexes,
which is the established policy of the
leading educational institutions OF the
world to-day. And, secondly. If he is
just man, he will not occupy position
of responsibility for the existing pol
icy. He will speedily batter down the
door which excludes women from the
full privileges of the University, or he
will place the responsibility for the ex-
clusion upon the Board of Regents.
where it belongs.
We will see whether the new board
is willing to stand sponsor for such
a policy.
There is nothing, at this juncture,
that would tend to popularize the Uni
versity with the people Of the State,
and establish the confidence of the pub
lie in the promise Of broad and lib
eral policy on the part of the present
administration, more than speedy
abandonment of this narrow and mean
attitude toward the women of the State
As a State institution it ought to be
open to all the youth of the State with
out regard to sex. If it is exclusively
for one sex, then the State ought to
build another University for the other
SEX Men must pay taxes for its sup
port, whose children all happen to be
girls, although only those whose chill
dren happen to be boys are admitted
to its benefits.
1t is time that such primitive notions
as that men and women must not sit
together in church, or boys and girls sit
down together in the same classes at
school, were relegated to the barbarous
time to which they belong.

IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH is WORTH
THAT MUCH
To Anyone AFFLICTED with Piles.

Is 10 anyone AmlCteO Win fueS.
The Pyramid Pyle Cure, the new.
painless remedy which has been so re-
markably successful in curing every
form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists and it is safe to say that when
its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no such thing as
surgical operations for the cure Of this
obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. NJ c. Hinkly, of COL Mississippi
ST., Inc annapolis, Ind, says: | had
been a terrible sufferer from piles for Is
years and no remedies benefited me,
until / saw an advertisement of the
Pyramid Pile Cure; got a package,
also package of Pyramid Pills, and
used both according to directions. 1
was astOnished at the Immediate RELIEF
obtained and now l honestly believe
the Pyramid to be the only certain cure
for piles.
That you may realize how bad was,
l will say that | was confined to my
bed and went before the college ply
sicians here, ~who said my case was a
new one to them and wanted seven or
eight hundred dollars to undertake a
cure; the great pain had brought on a
rupture, and l knew an operation
would be death to me on account OF
blood poisoning. Nearly everyone here
knows Of my terrible suffering from
piles and l feel that cannot prise the
Pyramid Pile Cure enough, and the
Pyramid Pills also. My husband will
join me in highly recommending the
Pyramid. My daughter was cured by
one box only. For several years 1
weighed but about 80 pounds. now /
weigh $50 and feel in perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi-
mony of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; it is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no opiate, morphine,
cocaine or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has soothing, healing eff
feet from the irstsapplication, and the
moderate price places within the reach
of everyone needing treatment. The
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists
at so cents and S1.00 per package and
the Pyramid Pills at 25 cents a box

Secretary Sherman and the new minister
from Peru, Senior Eguiguren, had a confer
ence at the State Department yesterday in
regard to the long-pendng case of Victor
McCord. 1t has been stated recently thai
the United States had presented an ulti-
matum to Peru, demanding the immediate
payment of $4,000 in settlement Of the
McCord case. 1t is learned from official
sources, however, that no ultimatum has
been presented, although a courteous, but
firm, note was addressed by Secretary
Sherman to Peru, urging that this long and
irritating controversy be speedily closed.
There is good reason to believe that Pcru's
answer will be of such Il nature as to do
away with any chance of friction between
the two countries, and that final adjust
ment will be made at an early day. At the
same time Peru will make it clear that any
adjustment is due to a desire to continue
the friendly relations long existing between
the two countries, and that the claim of
McCord is not regarded just one.

FOREST FIRES CHECKED.
One Effect of Placing Reserves Under
Special Agents.

Secretary Bliss is taking great interest
in the forestry problem, and is watching
the developments in the comprehensive
system of employing special agents with
assigned districts for the complete super
vision and surveillance of the segregated
tracts. Some time ago, under the author
ity of Congress, the states embracing the
various reserves were placed in districts,
each in charge of a special agent, APP
pointed by the Secretary of the Interior,
with authority for employing such as
sistants as were necessary. This scheme,
though limited in effectiveness by a meager
appropriation. is being put in force as rap
idly as circumstances will permit. The re-
suits SO far attained are regarded with
satisfaction by the department.
One of the most important results has
been to check the ravages Of forest fires

PLANS OF FILIBUSTERS.
Base of Operations Transferred From
the Florida Coast.

According to reports received at the State,
Navy and Treasury Departments, the
Cuban filibusters have transferred their
base of operations from the coast of
Florida to places farther north on the
coast. This representation was used as
the basis of an argument for an increase
in the naval patrol fleet. There are now
two gEnboats engaged in this service and
it is said at the Navy Department that
no other are available. The latest ;nfor-
nation is that four vessels, including the
famous Dauntless, are now fitting out ex-
petitions to Cuba, and that two others are
actually on their way to that island with
munitions of war, having eluded the patrol
1t is further reported that the filibusters
are changing the points from which they
operate, and hereafter will make attempts
to load their vessels and get them off from
places on the Carolina coast rather than in
Florida, where the government has main
tanned the greater part of its patrol force
IN the past year. Wilmington and New
Berne are the places suspected of having
assisted two expeditions already to get
away, and orders have been issued to the
collectors there to keep careful watch on
any suspicious vessels in that neishbor-
hood.

Attorney General Mckenna's attention
has been called to statement published in
Boston, in connection with the meeting of
the government directors of the Union Pa
cific railroad, that there was hitch in the
reorganization plans, due in part to the
fact that the Department Of Justice wanted
the Union Pacific reorganizers to pay about
s., COO 600 more to the government. Mr.. Nc
Kenna stated that no such proposition had
been made, nor had the government made
any propositio ms. The Boston publication
also referred to possible government loan
of large amount, an issue of paper
money if the federal authorities undertook
to operate the Union Pacific. AS to this
subject, Mr.. Mckenna said he had no in
formation. 1t appeared to be purely con-
jectural, based on the remote contingency
that the government will operate this and
other railroads now in default on their SUBJ
s:dy bonds.
