CIlanged Hands.

The Phoenix Hotel, of this place
has changed hands, Mr.. Nat u.
Bryan retiring from the firm. The
Hotel Will be continued by Mr..
Homer Smith. He is SO univer-
sally known to all the people of
the State and the travelling men,
that it is useless for us to say any
thing about him, more than that
he is good business man, honest
and upright, affable and pleasant
to everyone, and that he will make
most popular landlord. Under
his management the Phoenix will
be kept up to its former good name
and popularity. He is deserving
young man, and our wish is that
he may meet with abundant sue
cess, and his most sanguine expec-
tations realized.
Mr.. Bryan retires with the good
wishes of all the former patrons of
the Phoenix, and the Register
wishes him success in whatever he
may decide to engage in, in the fu-
ture; and we hope also that Point
Pleasant will not lose him as a
citizen.

AN Interesting Astronomical
-
The annual eclipse of the sun
which occurs Monday, Feb. l. is
attracting the attention of amateur
astronomers. 1t viii be what is
know as an annular eclipse. The
term .annular has no connection
with annual, but comes from the
Latin ..annutus.' ring, and the
eclipse is SO called from the fact
that at the totality ring of light
is visible around the obscured por-
ton. To get a good idea of an am
nular eclipse lay penny upon a
quarter of dollar, and the white
portion of the silver piece protrud-
ing will represent the annulus.
The eclipse will occur as a partial
one here.

A SAD DEATH.

a chU UEhld-
young John Sehon, Passes Away
ut Columbus, Ohio, Friday
Morning.
From Saturday, Daily
Mr. John Sehon, son of Col. and
Mrs. CT Sehon, near town, died at
the home Of a relative in Columbus,
Ohio, Friday morning from gam
creme of the intestines.
The deceased was taken sick on
Monday night, and his condition
becoming alarming on Tuesday his
parents were legraphed to, for
the first time, and on Wednesday,
kilograms came stating that he was
growing worse. His parents went
to his bedside and were accomp
eddy DIR. Guthrie. of this place.
Everything that human skill
could conceive was done to save
him, but without avail:
The young man was in his 18th
year and was the pride of his father
and mother, who dotted on him.
He was a splendid young man with
a bright future before him and be-
loved by everybody His sad
death is heavy blow to his par
ents, his numerous relatives and
his young and old friends.
The Register in common with
all the people of this town, tenders
its most heartfelt sympathies to
the distressed parents and the de-
voted sister.
Funeral from his parents home
today at 2:S0 p. m. Interment in
Lone Oak Cemetery.
1t is a noticeable fact, says an ex-
change. that many good items are
lost to the newspapers every day
by the modesty of the people who
hesitate to tell the reporter mat
tiers concerning themselves. The
right thing to do is to tell the news
paper man on the street, or any
other place you happen to meet
him, and tell him you have been
on visit, have relatives visiting
you, that your wife entertained
friends or anything that is in any
way matter of news. lie you have
done anything mean, of course you
can keep that to yourself, for there
are others who Will make it their
business to tell that.
That is a wise mother who says
that Immediately her daughter has

and ironology, when she expects
to turn her out fit candidate for

The poorest girls in the world
are those not taught to work.
There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them,
and they have been taught to de-

belong to this class.
The annual distribution of seeds
by the agricultural department.
will soon take place and West Yir-
ginia will be among the first States
to be served. Preparations have
been made and the packages will
be sent out before long.
The alarm of fire this morning,
was caused by some little boys
playing in Maj. Tomlinson's stable,
and setting it on fire. 1t was sub
dued without much damage, but
caused much alarm in the neigh
borhood.

A LAY THEOLOGIAN.

The Catholic Sentinel thinks that
Henry Austin Adams. Nj. A.. has still
loft in his composition a little lcaveu Of
Professionalism because in his interest
ing lecture on "Ritualism.' at the Mali-
son Catholic summer school, the dis
tnguished convert declared that he
knew many good and worthy
Professionals who were serving
the Lord with as much zeal as
any Catholic, and who were earnestly
seeking light as he did himself before
he entered the Catholic fold. What
our friend of the Catholic Sentinel
seems to object to particularly is that
exRcctor Adams did not believe that
honest and prayerful seekers after
truth would be condemned by the Lord
to outer darkness where there is
weeping and crashing of teeth" il
they died in their present condition.
The editor of the Sentinel considers this
a bold statement from the convert. in
view OF what the catechism says to the
contrary.
We would kindly suggest to our
friend at Chippewa Falls to read more
| advanced works than the catecnism be-
| fore he finds fault with the editor OF
Donahoe's Magazine for uttcring such
| a liberal opinion. If the good Protest
ants referred to have preserved their
| baptismal innocence and are Catholics;
| in desire. they belong to what is hnoM
as 1.-The soul of the church." and if they
| die in that state their salvation is
assured. We make this assertion upon
| the authority of the late Cardinal Man
| ming. who was convert himself. and
| whose writings the noted lecturer 1t
Madison has most probably read. The
cateohism for children briefly says that
there is no salvation outside the Catho-
lie church; but who are outside it's fold
it does not state. There are individuals
protesting other forms of Christianity

A CHANGE OF BASE.

| The Minneapolis Tribune, which has
i heretofore been dyed-in-the wool
anti-silver organ, is gradually modify
ing it's views on the coinage question.
The other day it sagacicusly said
cit is we'll known that for some years
past the ratio of the increase Of golI
production has been greater than the
ratio Of increase of silver production;
but the value of gold has been held up
by the expanding demand for gold for
coinage, while the price of silver has
been knocked down by the declining
demand for coinage. Although it is
true that no cent of valuation can ;,e
directly legislated into or cut out of a
dollar. yet it is true that Iegislati IN
which. in the long rum increases or
diminishes the demand for a commodity
will raise or lower the price of that
commodity. Thus the closing of the
minis of the United States, of Germany
and France to the coinage of silver on
private account since 1870 was unuues-
tionably the main cause of the deprc-
cation OF more than onehaIf in the
commercial value of the white mo. II
in the u years: and recently the legi,-
latlon of Japan demonetizing silver IS
primary money has produced Il quick
erect in further fall in silver bullion
Legislation which would create a de-
mand for silver by reOpening the minis
| OF all these nations and of India to free
coinage could not fail to quickly rally
the price Of silver by creating an adj
ditonal demand for it. Let all these
nations demonetizc gold, and we would
see how quickly the increased produce
ton of that metal would lower its
price. Increased production does not
break the prir" of Il commodity so long
as the demand for it Increases in pro-
portion to the supply"
or course. we do not agree with the
Tribune that mo cent of valuation can
be directly lrgislated into or out of
dollar" so long as the price Of gold is
permanently fixed by law at $20G7 an
ounce. and silver is dpmnnctixad;
late our esteemed ncighbor on it's pro-
gress in financial knowledge and on the
light which is Illuminating its intelli-
gcncc.
It's namcsakc of Chicago cnlcrtains
diverse views on the money question,
and is in high glec over the depreciation
of silver. though an American proluct.
1t sncrringly bcIitIlrs the once pre-
cious metal by ranking it below copper
and iron. and says that only IA few
persons care whether silver goes up or
down. When the minis are thrown
open to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver as they are now to gold, the
despised white metal will be rclabili-
tated and the price Of it will Immediate
ly go up in spite of all the subsidized
gold organs OF the world.
