The death of William P. st. John
is the elimination of a most conspic-
uous instance of self-devotion in po-
litical campaign marked by multi
plicity of evidences Of self-sacriflce and
courage. Convinced, against his pref
udices, that bimetallism was not only
practicable, but necessary to the well
being of nation, Mr.. St. John threw
himself into the arena and fought for
his conviction. His utterances at
tracted attention, for he was pres
ident of successful New York ma
tional bank, member of the Produce
Exchange, a committeeman of the
Chamber of Commerce and man of
large personal means. He had, In
short, proved superior to his environ
ments, and became Immediately man
of national Importance. When he
threw himself into the thick Of the
Bryan campaign his positions Of trust
were one by one taken away from him.
Though his record as a banker was one
Of unqualified success, he was ousted
first from the presidency and later
from his dictatorship Of the bank he
had developed. For him the reward
of doing his duty to the Republic as
his mind-an alert and well trained
mind-indicated it to him, was CON-
mercial ostracism and social distrust.
1t is not always well to accept too lit
orally the theory that freedom Of
speech and OF political action is really
guaranteed by our Constitution.
His bitterest opponents must rec
ognize in william P. st. John man
who stroye for what be believed to be
right, without expection Of profit, and
in fact at the cost Of everything he
held dear. except his self res2ect.

DEATH OF JUDGE WOODS.
Former Judge OF the Supreme Court
Passes Away--Sketch Of an Hon
orable Career,

PHILIPpr, w. Va, Feb. lS.-At 4.30
yesterday afternoon Judge Samuel
Woods, late of the supreme court OF
appeals, died at his home in this
place, after a brief illness. Judge
Woods passed away peacefully in
the presence of his family. He was
one of PhiIippi's most honored citi-
zens and his loss is mourned by the
entire community, as it will be by
the state. The funeral will occur at
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Judge Samuel Woods, Ii. d., was
born of Irish parents in Bedrice coun-
ty, East Canada, September 10, 1922,
and was therefore, in his seventy
fifth year. His father removed to
Meadville, Pa, where, until man
hood, the son worked at the trade of
a plasterer, going to college during
winter and working at manual labor
during the summer At the age of
twenty he was graduated from Ale
gheny college in the classical course.
He began law studies at Pittsburgh,
under Attorney Alden, author of
Index to Reports of the United
States Supreme Court" in 1916.
Judge Woods afterward located in
Barbour county, West Virginia,
then Virginia, and was a member
from that county of the famous Vir-
ginia convention which passed the
ordinance of secession, supporting
the measure there and in the subse-
quent election. During the war
which followed, he was in the Con-
federate service, attached to the
'Stonewalr' brigade. After the war
he returned home and resumed the
practice of law. He was elected
from the Sixth senatorial district to
the convention of 1872, which re-
vised the constitution of West Vir-
ginia, and was chairman of the COM
mittee on bill of rights and cleo
lions, and member of the select re
visory committee.
In January, 1883, he was appoint
ed to fill vacancy on the bench OF
the supreme court of appeals of
West Virginia, and was afterward
elected for the balance of Judge
Haymond's term, serving ably and
continuously until December 81,
1888. AS an advocate before jury
Judge Woods was almost irresistible
and held high rank as jurist, pos
sessing the respect and esteem OF
the members of the bar throughout
the state. He was the author of
many important decisions while on
the supreme court and when he re-
tired from the bench it was with a
record of which he had reason to
feel proud.
The judge was member of the
Methodist Episcopal church and
was active in church work. In 1888
he received the honorary degree of
Ii. D. from his alma mater. Three
sons survive him, Frank, Samuel,jr
and j. Hop, all of them successful
attorneys, the former residing in
Baltimore and the two latter in Phil
ippi.

THE BOARD MAY GO.
But the Prep We have always with y,


The announcement that the prep
department had been abolished created
a great sensation here the first of the
week. Groups of students and town
people were seen discussing it and its
various phases. The general senti.
ment was one of regret at the pros
pect of losing such an entertaining
member of the community. He is an
amusin' cuss. Without him life would
be a dreary waste. The dear girls
would simply cease existing. The
pride of his parents, the pet of the
girls, the ibete noir of the professors,
the enthusiastic rooter at all the ath-
letic games with all his faults we love
him still.
The prospect of losing his inspiring
presence, the fun caused by his YER
dancy and the shekels which he so Law.
ishly expends cast deep gloom over
the town and school,
The House of Delegates had refused
to allow any money appropriated by
them to be paid to the professors in the
prep department after June and this
caused the report. OF course if that was
the only source of revenue the pref
would have had to go. But it is not
at all certain that this action will
stand. If the Senate should refuse tC
concur in it a conference committee
may bring the House to terms. The
total amount appropriated by them
for the pay of the professors and teach
ers was $4,000.
But the income Of the University
from other sources which may be APP
piled to the support of the prep depart
ment is $2S, 900 next year and 500, 00(
the year after. 1t will exceed $50, 00(
in few years. So it can readily bt
seen that if the authorities wish the
props can have more money than the
rest of the college.
This fact is not generally known
but it is fact and will give rise to gen
eral rejoicing. Neither Morgantowr
nor the University is ready for this
radical departure and this action is
merely on a plane with the Other
fool freaks of the idiotic legislature.
We are heartily glad to be able tc
to correct the prevailing impression.
Regents, Professors, Presidents, by
nasties and even janitors may come
and go but the prep is here to stay.
You can't lose him, Charley. May his
shadow never grow less.

A ROUND of applause followed the
completion of Rev. Anna H. Shaw s
lecture on The New Man, which
was given at the Grand last night.
This lecture is one of the best of
this most talented wom-

though an hour and half was oc-

as clear, her enunciation as distinct
and her audience as interested as at

MISS SHAW, in. her lecture on
Tuesday night, captivated her entire
audience, and held it spellbound on
the subject of "The New Man"
Her speech was interspersed with
wit, boundless sarcasm, considera-
BILE wisdom and oceans of eloquence.
She is complete bundle OF natural
and acquired niceties of intellectual
development. The Home Weekly
ever hopes she may have abundant
success in the field in which she
has chosen her life's work.
Immigration Bill Passes.
&The new immigration bill has
pessed the Senate and has gone to
the President for his action. A full
account was given of the bill when
it was first introduced. 1t is init
mated that Cleveland may veto it
but it is not at all likely that he
will. It is full of most commenda-
BILE features and keeps out very many
undesirable immigrants. A law of
this kind passed years ago would
have kept this country free from
much riff raft which it at present
has to contend with.
