The Associate Members of the Oratorio
Society and the Holders of Single Tickets
Reserve seats This Morning at Banner :
Interest in the Oratorio Society concert
Thursday night increases as the time APP
proaches. Yesterday the sale Of seats

ises to be even better.
The published programme shows a
number of beautiful solos by the soloists
engaged from New York, in addition to
those in the Oratorio.
Mr.. J. II. Mckinley will sing the IA
nous aria for tenor Lend Me Your Aid, ~
from Queen of Sheba. Miss Hike, So
prano. will sing a beautiful solo. 'Vil-
Ianeue" and it is quite likely that Miss
Clarv. the great contralto will sing, in
addition to her solo from Les Huegenots,
Ben Bolt. which made her such an at
traction at Planners great production of
Trflbv. at the Madison Square Theatre,
New York. two years ago. Night after
night Miss CIary was obliged to repeat this
beautiful song I'm response TO the most
hearty eucores. Her solo Eye Hath Not
Seen" in the Holy City, will be treat TO
all who hear It.
The famous Rigoletto Quartette is also
on the programme. No concert has ever
been given in Wheeling which promises
so rrucb as thie-a chorus of 15O voices. an
orchestra of eighteen. an organ and
grand piano. all combined. with four sucn
excellent soloists. certainly should pro-
duce enough music to satisfy the most

THE INAGURATION.
Railroads Preparing to Garry Many Passen'
gers to the Capital

Railroads Preparing to Garry Many Passen'
gers to the Capital
The local railroads are already be-
ginning to make arrangements for the
crowds who wish TO attend the presi-
Dental Inauguration. The travel from
all parts of the country will be the
largest that has witnessed the installa-
ton of a president-elect and it is eX-
pected that Wheeling will BE we'll rep
resented.
A fare of $40 for the round trip has
been arranged by both the Baltimore
& Ohio and the Pennsylvania lines.
The railroads expect to furnish suiii-
cient number Of cars to accommodate
all visitors to Washington. Plans for
securing them are now being consider
ed. Both the B. &, 0. and Pennsylvania
roads will adept the plan which will be
followed by the other lines entering
the capital of side-tracking Pullman
cars and permitting those who travel
in them to use them for sleeping pur-
poses during their stay There is sutii-
cient room in Washington to provide
for hundreds of cars, and such a plan
will greatly relieve the pressure on the
hotels and boarding houses which al
ready are threatened with lack Of
sufficient accommodations for the
crowds who will be in the capital.
The 3. & 0. agent at Wheeling is
making arrangements for Pullmans.
The extra cost for the use of these cars
can not be known until an estimate
can be formed of the number of peo-
ple who wish to secure berths. The
probable cost will be about dollar a
day in addition to the railroad fare.
The B. G o. have tickets on sale good
from the 1st to the Sth of March. 1t
can not he told at this time just how
many Wheeling people will go TO
Washington. The only political organ
ization that have sisnifed an intention
of going is the Elkins Cadets. The in
ausuration of the governor at Charles
ton will draw some who would other
wise go to Washington.

ANNUAL STATEMENT OF LIFE
COMPANIES.
The Policies Issued by the Equitable
Society.

The Policies Issued by the Equitable
Society.
1t is a significant fact that, notwith-
standing the hard times, the financial
statements of the life assurance COM
panies show that, wherever the man
agement has been judicious, there is
evidence of growth, Improvement and
increasing strength.
This is instructive. 1t means, for one
thing. that men recognize the import
anee Of the protection furnished by as
surance in times Of financial depres-
sion. and that consequently the con-
seriousness of a greater need almost
counter-balances the advantage result
ing to this branch of the business in
prosperous times, when men of means
invest in life assurance voluntarily
and freely.
Again, the peculiar value of life as
surance is clearly demonstrated in
times when the values of other invest
ments are melting away. Many sue
cessful men have been forced to the
wall during the last year or two, and
many estates have shrunk away in con-
sequence of deprecated values; but
every policy of life assurance paid dur
ing that period by the responsible
companies has been for one hundred
cents on the dollar. and usually with a
substantial dividend in addition.
Another recommendation, the value
Of which is emphasized at such time
as this, is that when the investor dies
the life assurance policy is usually the
only asset which is instantly worth its
face value in cash; for other invest
ments at such a time can seldom be
sold for their full value, nor can they
always be converted into cash on any
terms. These and other equally i'm
pOrtant considerations explain the
prosperity of the great life assurance
companies. even during neriods Of
financial trial and disaster. The Equit-
able Company reports an outstanding
business of nine hundred and fifteen
million dollars; new business for the
year of over one hundred and twenty
seven million dollars, and. more i'm
pcrtant than all. a surplus over all LA
bilities of over forty-three million dol
| lars.

GROW GRACEFULLY.
How You Nay Do So and Continue To BE
low 10 Your Friends


Young ladies may be beautiful, but moth
ing is more attractive in this world than a
lovely old lady. with her white hair, her
rosy face. wrinkled it may be, but with
eyes beaming with kindness even through
her spectacles But what can be sadder
than a sickly old lady, who suffers and
feels that she is a burden 10 those around
her. and whose JOY in life has departed!
Is it not sorrowful?
But there IS really no need for elderly
ladies TO be weak or sickly. They can build
up their health and keep it up after it IS
once secured if they will only adopt the
right means. Many aged people have dis
covered way 10 renew their strength and
vitality when they feel weak and worn out
and others may profit by their experience.
Here Is a recent opinion on this important
subject:
Mr. Walter p. Chapman. % Hanover ST.,
Baltimore, writes: My grandmother, who
Is past 80 years of age has been using
Dutty's pure malt whiskey for about three
years and II has acted almost Ike charm.
fl has always given her an appetite and
prevented any disorder of the stomach.
She could not do without IT,
In the above and thousands of other
eases, Duffy's pure malt whiSkey has
proved a godsend TO elderly men and wo-
men who lacked health and strength. This
is because it Is wonderful tonic and nerve
food. Therefore. BE- sure and get Duffy 5
pure malt, no matter how mucn you may
be urged 10 try something cheaper.

FALSE ALARM

Yesterday morning at Q o'clock some I'M
known individual pulled the lever of alarm
box No. &c. at the old Hobbs Brockunier
glass house. in the Eighth ward, and called
out the entire fire department south Of
the creek. There was no occasion for
alarm. and it was the work Of practical
joker
When the department arrived the fire.
men ran TO and fro trying to locate the
blaze. 1t was finally realized that the
calling out of the department was the
work OF some Iniscreant. 1t was done by
man. evidently. for a mans footprints
were discovered in the snow near where
the alarm box is located. He had broken
omen the glass. secured the key and sent
IN the alarm without having been seen
by any person in the vicinity. The guilty
person would not have considered it as
huge a joke If he had been detected, for
there is a special penalty for sending in
false alarms OF about twenty dollars.
