him by his manners, and finding him

lust or kindhearted; one should also
be agreeable In manner, and 1t requires
very little effort to be 80. The fOunda-
tlon of agreeable manners Is thoughtful
consideration of others, or true polite

sary sacrifice of frankness and honesty.
1t does not mean that one shall not con-

that when a contradiction Is made

Special Dispatch to the Intelllgeneer
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 26.-
The Bill to abolish the big hat null
sance in theatres has come from the
senate committee With a recommended
tIon against its passage. A senator ex-
r'aired to me that In his view the leg
stature is not a convention of French
mnllners to tell the women of West
virginia what they shall wear
Tomorrow the tanners OF the state
and the representatives OF the United
sntcs Leather Company Will have
hearing before the senate committee on
corporations IN the matter Of the
bll Of the Leather company granting
tie right to hold fifteen thousand acres
of land for each tannery 1t owns. The
inditidual tanners are strongly oppos-
ed 6 the measure. and are making
sentiment against it. The probability IS
that the bill cannot pass. The house
committee Is understood to be ready to
report against II.
Tonight the judiciary committee
heard Messrs. ]. p. Adams and +.
Riester. OF Wheeling, and i. X. Lind
say,of clnclnna against thevalued fire
Insurance policy bill already reported
favorably by the committee. The bill
had gone that far before the insurance
men knew of its existence. They point
ed ont u the committee that the BILL IL
enacted into law, would put preml-
um on iucendiarism and Withdraw the
good companies from the spalsely set
lied portions OF the state. The COM
mittee seemed to be deeply impressed
with the arguments.
Delegate Hervey, OF Brooke, to-day
introduced a bill to appropriate TO
Bethany college $4,000. to pay It's In
debtedness, In exchange for which APP
prOpriation the state may send yearly
free OF cost one student 5from each
county. Tonight the bill MAS infor-
mally discussed by the finance commit
tee, with the most kindly feeling for
the college. Members OF the committee
are Of opinion, however, that the state
cannot fall in with the overture.
The bill authorizing lease to be
made OF the Berkeley Springs property
has been advanced to It's third reading
in The house. This was accomplished
after a lively brush. which served to
show that the house Is strongly In
favor OF the measure. II will probably
pass the senate also Under the lease
the states property is TO have $4,000 III
Improvements put on It, and on adJoin-
ing property a Sl50.000 hotel Is TO be
erected. 1t IS said that the necessary
capital is ready.
The joint finance committee mas be-
gun Ia look into the states financial
condition, an inquiry that will be ted
i1us nd laborious. and which Is not
absolutely certain to be fruitful. Thus
far there are no strong Indications Of
hearty cooperation in the Auditors
Office. C. i. H.
