Campbell Gets the Coveted De
cision.
In the Inter. Collegiate Oratorical Con

tCet>
The fondest hopes Of the adher,,
ents Of West Virginia University
were realized. The judges awarded
the palm to w. n. Campbell an hon
or most worthily bestowed. The oc-
casion attracted many visitors from
nearby towns although the misera-
BILE weather kept many away. When
the first speaker appeared on the
rostrum he was greeted by the APP
plause of fully one thousand people.
Gov. Atkinson acted as master of
ceremonies and did it in very able
manner. He introduced each speak
er in turn and announced the find
ings of the judges at the close OF the
contest. Here he deserves special
mention. The decisions were given
without any long, tedious or unnee-
essay talk and the gratitude of the
audience many of whom have been
formerly bored by laxative judges
was freely his.
The orators all acquitted them
selves honorably, the productins be-
ing of a high degree of excellence.
That they did not win was no dis
credit to any of them as the deci-
sion went to the best man.
The music was a special feature
and was very much enjoyed.
The judges were Hon. r. w. IT.
4 win, of Washington, Pa, Judge Ma
thaniel Ewing, of Uniontown, Pa,
and Superintendent Truedley, OF
Youngstown, Ohio. When their de-
cision was given that w. V. U. had
won the cheering was simply deafen-
ing. The announcement of the stand
ing of each succeeding college was
cheered. At the conclusion of the
exercises Mr.. Campbell was taken
ON the shoulders of an enthusiastic
crowd of students and carried
through the streets in triumph. The
medal presented him was most
beautiful one costing $50 being set
with diamonds. Mr.. Campbell was
born in Pennsylvania but claims
Morgantown as his residence and
expects to make this state his flu.
tnre home. We congratulate him
upon his success and congratulate
the University upon the possession
of such a worthy representative.
The order in which the different
gentlemen appeared, their colleges
subjects and the grades assigned
each by the different judges are al
follows:

A little boy having asked his faith

A little boy having asked his faith
er why chaplain was employed to
pray for the members of Congress,
the astute parent replied: "He does
not pray for Congress; he only takes
.SJok at, Congress and then prays
for the country" The above would
be very apt at the present time but
for the fact that the chaplains of
both houses of Congress are blind.
However, it behooves them, though
they see not, to be diligent in bust
ness and fervent in the spirit of
prayer for the country.-Charles
Tevn Free Press.

A great deal of capital was made by

A great deal Of capital was made by
Republican papers out Of the fact
that uncertainty in regard to Demo
cratic tariff legislation disturbed bus
iness interests. But the prevailing un.
certainty regarding Republican tariff
legislation is also disturbing business.
This was to be expected. Any change
no matter what until known will dis
tprb business. That being the case
no party can claim exclusive right to
be styled the savior Of the business

Mr.. David B. Martin. manager of
passenger traffic of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, has decided to secure
an entirely new series of scenic views
of the line. He has secured the SER
vices of Mr.. VIM. Dinwiddie, noted
photographer of Washington, whose
skill in that line of photography is
unexcelled, and Mr.. Dinwiddie is now
engaged in taking the necessary OBJ
servation before he begins the real
work. A caboose car will be fitted
up for his use, and he will probably
be kept busy all the summer. The
new photographs will be used for adj
vertising the picturesque B. & o., and
no expense is to be spared in getting
the very best effects possible.

TOPEKA. Kan. Feb. 25.-When tho railroad
attorneys who arc lobbying to defeat railroad
legislation, got together for luncheon here two
days ago. b. y, Wnggcner, attorney for the
Missouri Pacific in the West, told this story:
Mrs NeiswanRcr of Beloit had sued his com.
pany for $4,000 damages to compensate her for
injuries received in n fall, for which she alleged
tho company was responsible. Tho case was
tried before n jury In Rocks county. Mr.. Wag-
gener wanted to prove that there was q full
moon AZ the timo the accident happened, and
place the responsibility on the plaintiff, so he
sent n boy downtown to u drug store to got an
almanac OF that year. Without examining tho
almanac, except to zee that II contained tho
proof which he desired. he offered 1t In evidence,
Tho attorney for tho plaintiff in his argument
said that the defendant company was the prop
erty OF jay Gould and other milliunaires who
had amassed fortunes amounting to hundreds OF
millions. Mr.. WaKgoncr protested against this
line of discussion, declaring there was nothing in
the evidence to warrant such n statement.
But there IL, may 1t please your honor" the
other lawyerdeclared. 1t is in evidence offered
BY Mr.. WaGgcnor himself"
Where y exclaimed Mr.. Waggener in aston
ishment.
I'm this almanac" the opposing lawyer said,
and sure enough In the book were pictures and
short sketches OF jay Gould, Russell Sage, Henry
Marquand. and other associates of Gould, and
every one Of them was said 70 be worth from

The second Annual Conference was held In
Philadelphia In May, l774. The chief charac-

view. was Asbury's success in gathering into his
society families OF Importance in respect OF posi-.

The most conspicuous OF these converts was Hen
ry Dorsey Cough, who possessed the large for
tune, for the epoch. of more than 5000, 900. Mr..
Coughs wife was II daughter OF Gov. Ridgeley,
and his country place, known as Perry Hall,
about twelve miles from Baltimore. was one Of
tho most conspicuous and elegant In America"
His wife had been deeply stirred by Methodist
preaching, but he denounced 1t as superstition.
and forbade her to hear 1t again. He was dis
Quoted, however. and sought relief In wine and
In gay and irreligious companions. One day
1t was proposed that, for sport. they should hear
