worth 10 proceed at once to the
erection of the steel bridge across
Pearl river.-Pearl River (Colums
bia) News.
Many counties and towns through
out this progressive state are
making like Improvements to the
above. The good roads movement
Is also gaining ground, and will
eventually result in great good to
the farmer and the towns. We
have for several years been agi~
tating the construction of a good
road from Puplaryille to Pearl riv.
er and the bridging of that stream.
We ale pleased to note that our
citizens are beginning to discuss
the matter on the streets, which is
cheering evidence that interest is
being aroused along this line. 1t
requires heroic efforts to secure
and hold trade, but both objects
can be accomplished by Offering
the proper inducements. Then
why delay making improvements
that the unanimous opinion Of our
business men concede to be neces-
sary. Pearl River county is q
superb piece of Mother Earth
next door to Paradise-and she is
here to stay; then why not NOW
make it convenient and pleasant
for outsiders to visit US Some Of
our merchants are advocating the
free-ferry plan. The idea is good
one, and if consummated might
prove a nucleus that would develop
into the first.class road and steel
bridge under discussion. Our bust.
ness men should confer with SOME
of the leading citizens Of Washings
ton parish, and make an effort to
secure their cooperation. Drop
the selfish every.man for-himself
idea-pulI together, and success will
crown your efforts.

ORPHEUS MALE CHORUS.

The Orpheus Male Chorus, the new
musical organization which was start
ed last season, has commenced prac-
tice again with new vigor. They have
as director Prof. H. J. Arbenz, who has
shown himself to be one of the best
directors in the country.
At the German Sangerfest. held in
the old Alhambra Rink a Sumber of
years ago, Prof. Arbenz was selected
as the director, although at that time
he was a very young man and had only
recently graduated from the school OF
music which he had attended in Ger
many The honors he won by his mas
terly control of the chorus on that oc-
casion are well known to all in this
city. The Orpheus are to be congrat-
ulated on their selection of a director
and it is evident that the organization
will before long show the musical pub
lie of Wheeling that they are strictly
in it"
The membership of the Orpheus
comprises some of the best voices in
the city and much is expected of them.
1t has often been said that only Ger
man male choruses could succeed, vet
here is one formed for strictly English
music, and the future will verify the
prediction that the new departure will
be a success. The chorus meets every
Tuesday night for rehearsal, at the
Conservatory of Music, on Fifteenth
street, and will at no distant date
show the people what they can do.
The members are as follows:
First tenors-Messrs Dunn. Emer-
son, Specht, Fuhr, Hinton, Bell, Dom
aldsOn and Dobbs.
Second Tenor-Messrs Woodwork.
Haigh. Jurgens, Moore, Dobbs and
Lingaman.
First Bass-Messrs. Westwood. Mil
Ter, Cowl, Moore, Collins, Hoburg and
Owens.
Second Bass--Messrs. Danvers. Etz,
Lancaster, Mahlke, Steinbecker, Never.
Brand, Caldwell, Handy and Crawford.
The following are the officers: H. R.
Bell, president; DR.. L. E. Woodwork.
vice president; ]. H. Lancaster, record
ing secretary; S. Emerson, correspond
ing secretary; DR.. Henry Etz, treas
urer; Prof. H. ]. Arbenz, director.
Any singer with a good voice will
be welcomed at any time.

success, as 1t has been announced that
there will probably be a meeting of the
court during the coming week, and should
such be the case there will in all probable
lily be in the neighborhood of a dozen APP
plicationS made for the necessary per-
mission to legally conduct saloons. The
city council, which is compelled to grant
permits before the County Court will con-
slider an application. will meet in regular
session Monday evening, and it is under
stood will have number of applications
to consider. There are not many people
in this vicinity not in favor of license, and
II the matter was left to a vote ofthe
people, there is no doubt that license
would carry by an overwhelming ma jor-
ity. Should the county court not consider
the applications of the saloon Keepers for
license at the meeting which II is under
stood they will hold the cozeing week, IL
is understood a special election will be
asked for, ard in that case the result is
obvious.

IVORY USED BY THE ANCIENTs.
Relics Show That the Prehistoric Races
Knew It's Value

Science Monthly.
The earliest recorded history-we might
say prehistoric, the hieroglyphical-that
has come down to us has been in carvings
on ivory and bone. Long before metal
lurgy was known among the prehistoric
races, carvings on reindeer horn and
mammoth tusks evidence the antiquity
of the art Fragments of horn and ivory
engraved with excellent pictures of ami
mails, have been found in caves and beds
of rivers and lakes. There are specimens
in the British museum also in the Louvre
of the Egyptian skill in ivory carving, at
tributed to the age of Moses. In the latter
collection are chairs or seats of the six
tenth century B. c., inlaid with ivory
and other pieces of the eleventh century
3. c. We have already referred to the
Nienveh worries. Carving of the precious
substance" was extensively carried on at
Constantinople during the middle ages;
combs, caskets horns. boxes, etc.. of
carved ivory and bone, often set in prec-
ious stones, of the old Roman and Anglo
Saxon periods, are frequently found in
tombs Crucifxes and images of the vir-
gin and saints made in that age are of
ten graceful and beautiful The Chinese
and Japanese are rival artists now in
their peculiar minutiae and detail.
