The musical service at St. Matthew's
Church was unusually attractive last even
ing. The first part of The Holy City
was sung by the vested choir really cred
itably. The solo parts were taken by Mrs.
Frank lie Moyne Hupp. solo soprano of
the Oratorio Society. and Mr.. W. S. Glenn
ans, tenor. Similar Sunday evening SER
vices will for some indefinite time be the
rule ut St. Matthews.

These annual concerts of the Wheeling
Opera House Orchestra are always treats,
and every plan is laid to make the one of
1897 far exceed all foregoing ones. The Sc
lection of the Park for the holding is a
big inducement. and besides the unusually
interesting programme arranged, the Pitts
burg augmentors TO the orchestra proper,
the attractions are Mrs. Flora Williams
Mr. H. W. Hughes and Mr.. Hermann
Grimm.

A vestryman of St. Matthew's Church
said that the influence Of the leader Of the
choir over the boys was incalculable and
that this service of Organist Paris r.
Meyers was as invaluable as his organ
work was merltorious. This timely show
Of appreciation may tend 10 keep the Ora

be at least $50 delegates in attendance,

ELIMINATE PARTISANSHlP
Says Brand-New Governor Stephens, and
Then Talks Free Silver.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 11.-At high
noon today Governor Lon V. Stephens
was inaugurated governor of Missouri in
the hail Of the house of representatives in
join: session. There was an immense
crowd present and citizens from all parts
of the state were in attendance. Chief
Justice Barclay of the supreme court adj
min:s;ered the oath of office. After the
inauguration Governor Stephens deliver
ed his inaugural address TO the legisla-
ture. the salient points of which follow:
Governor Stephens declares that his
ambition is to make his administration a
distinctively business administration and
calls upon the legislature TO make the
present session business one.
''Partisanship," he says, should be
moderated. if not suppressed. and I'M
seennly strife should be avoided
Referring 70 the condition of state af-
fairs, he says:
The most rigid economy should be
practiced. II is my opinion that under
the prevailing gold standard and flnan-
ciai policies of the federal government,
general business conditions will no ma
terially or permanently improve. but, on
the contrary, We can reasonably antici-
rate continuance of the experience
which has so distressed the country in re-
cent years.
'I see nothing in the immediate future
10 warrant substantial hope for better
times
He recommends the establishment OF a
banking bureau and the creation OF the
Office of bank commissioner. The pow
er OF trust companies should be limited so
that they could not engage in the bank
ing business. Laws to suppress trusts
should be enacted and laws TO prevent
the coercion Of employees should be pass
ed. that voters may exercise the elective
franchise without hindrance. The pass
sage OF a fellow-servant bill is asked.

should be increased in order TO overcome
the inferior work of Germany.
r. II. Gregory Of Chicago, represent
ing importers and manufacturers of
musical instruments, said that those ar
ticles were now unclassified, which
worked a hardship to the trade. He did
Tot ask for change of duty, but il II
were changed he thought it should be
made 80 per cent.
Ex-senator Davis of West Virginia
spoke upon the subject of coal. The
duty upon bituminous coal, he said. is
entirely too low, being IA per cent, while
the average duty upon all articles in the
Wilson law is Al per cent. The duty. he
said. is much less than at any previous
time and should be made at least 70 cents
per ton. this being about % per cent ad
valorem.
Colonel William Lamb of Norfolk, Va,
said that when 80 cents was taken from
the duty it became apparent that unless
reductions were made in charges Of rail-
roads and operators for handling coal,
the miners would be placed on starva-
ton wages. The railroads did not reduce
charges and went into bankruptcy.
Then the railroad receivers were COM
PEELED to raise the price of freight and
the strike infthe Pocahontas mines was
the result. Tne OLD rate OF 40 cents, ne
said, should be restored.
w. c. Barry of Rochester. n. Y, rep
resenting the nurserymen of the United
States, said there had been no duty on
nursery for years. to the great
detriment of the native industry A
duty of from So to 40 per cent should be
imposed.
j. w. Harrison of California desired
duty upon anthracite coal. He had i'm
ported coal from Wales and one shipload
from China. The foreign coal had a
serious effect upon the price of domestic
A California man, he said,
brought the warning to Pennsylvania
miners. Ships outward bound returned
with a load of coal and it sold lower
than the native product. All kinds Of
coal. he thought, should pay a duty OF
40 per cent.
Silas Wilson of Iowa, representing a
association. asked a duty
upon nursery stock of 80 to 40 per cent.
S w. Cox of Charlottesville, Pa, ask
ed that duty be imposed upon slate
pencils.
James Ross of Philadelphia desired an
increased duty on clay pipes.
Chairman Dingley announced before
adjournment that the formal hearings on
the tariff were now concluded.

A SLIGHT rlIsTAKE
the Eve, sometime. deceive.

There are number of experiences in
real life from which interesting facts can
be gathered The treasurer of a large
manufacturing concern, whose name
need not be given for the purpose of this
article, has been compelled to give up
drinking coffee on account of its effect
upon his stomach and nervous system.
1t was suggested that he try the health
coffee Postum Cereal. as that is made
of the healthful grains and takes the
place Of coffee very nicely.
He rather felt that il was a foolish step
to undertake TO use any article with the
expectation that * would take the place
Of coffee. which his family used OF the
best grade of Mocha and Java mixed.
However. a package was ordered for the
house and the next morning al breakfast
the coffee pot came on as usual; wnen
the beverage was poured out and served
to him he told the servant that he had
ordered some Postum, new drink, and
did not care for the coffee.
A laugh went round the table, and he
declined to believe that the rich liquid
with the aroma and fragrance that reach
ed his nostri,s was the health coffee. In
vestigation, however. convinced him OF
the fact, and its use day by day without
the old sick feeling clinches the argu-
ment.
Postum is made by the Postum Cereal
Co., Linn, of Battle Creek, Mich, and
has a winning way of its own: when
once introduced into the family it an
swers every purpose of the finest coffee
without the attendant aches ard ills.
Being composed strictly and wholly of
ire purest cereals, there Is no question or
argument or possible doubt regarding the
healthful and nourishing properties. for
children IS well as adults
There is but one genuine original Pos
tu1n Cereal coffee, with multitude OF
limitations offered as Just as good

Springfield, H., Jan. 1.-THE Inaugural
ton Of Governor Tanner today developed
a sensat iOn at the close of the state
house ceremony, when the retiring gov
ernor, John P. Altgeld, was not permit
ted to deliver the farewell address which
has been ore OF the features of previous
Inaugural tons in Illinois. Governor Alt
geld had prepared his speech, it had been
given place on the printed program,
and much interest had centered in its
anticipated delivery. The snub was
made the more painful to the ex-gove1-
nor and his friends from the fact that
Mrs. Altgeld occupied a seat beside him
on the stage and shared the confusion
resulting from the affair. Early in the
course of the exercises il was moved
that Mr.. Altgeld be requested TO address
the joint assembly present at the inau-
guration. Speaker Curtis, of the lower
house. declared the motion out OF order,
and subsequently refused to recognize
any Democratic member who attempted
TO address the chair. The majority of
the members of the joint assembly and
the large audience did not appreciate the
significance OF this course until a mo-
ton to adjourn carried and put an uneX-
pected end to the ceremonies. without let
ting the governor have an opportunity to
deliver the address which he carried
With him to the stage. Much Indignation
was expressed at the snub and the DEM
ocratic members tonight are bitter in
their denunciation of what they term as
an outrageous insult while the Re-
publican leaders declare that the whole
aHalr was nothing more or less than the
oversight on the part of the speaker in
falling to call upon Mr.. Aitgeld for his
speech. Ex-Governor Altgeld left the
state house Immediately upon the con-
ciusion or the Inauguration ceremony
ana returned to Chicago without permit
ing hlmself to be interviewed upon the
affair." His friends were very indignant.
BRYAN'S OPINION OF IT.
Chicago, Jan. n.-William J. Bryan
arrived in Chicago early this morning on
a business trip. A representative of the
Associated Press tonight asked him if he
mad read of the slight offered to Gov
ernor Altgeld by the legislature. He re-
piled:
Il have just noticed in an evening pa
per that the legislature refused TO hear
the customary address from the retiring
governor. If it is true that the Repub- |
leans did this in order to show their dis |
like for Governor Altgeld, it will prob |
ably result, as such insults always do, in |
more harm to those who offer it than TO |
the people against whom it was directed |
The fact that Governor Altgeld ran |
ahead Of the national ticket in this state |
ls evidence that his defeat was not due |
to personal hostility to him, and I hard |
~ think the people will approve Of any
slight offered to him in his official posi-
ton
Questioned about the defeat Of the Pa
,ific railroad bill Mr.. Bryan said:
Il am very much gratified to know Of
the defeat of that bill. Its purpose was
TO fasten heavy burden upon the west
rejoice at this, their escape from so I'M
ern states for eighty years to come, and
the people in those states have reason to
