QUITE A ROW
Among North Wheeling Republicans Over
the Selection of Prof. Brilles.

the Selection OF Prof. Briiies.
The excellent selection by the Board
Of Education, Thursday evening, OF
Prof. Charles S. Brilles to be principal
CT the First ward school, has stirred
up no end of a row among the Republic
can leaders in Washington district, and
to say they were hot about the mat
ter, yesterday, is to state the case
mildly. Half-a-doZen OF the Republic
can leaders Of the district including
two of the three Commissioners, were
ceen during yesterday, and they were
loud in their protests. One OF these
gentlemen said:
THE turning down of a majority Of
the Commissioners by the Board was
an outrage, which will be heard from
later On. I think we are through
electing Republicans from that end Of
town for some time to come. The
trouble is that the City Hall and Court
House ring took a big hand in the
matter, and so worked things as to
put in the man of their choice over the
heads Of majority Of the Washington
district Commissioners. This thing Of
city and county politicians sticking
their noses in where they are not con-
cerned is about played out, and II 1t
is allowed to continue few men will
be running the Board of Education for
their personal ends, just as they now
run Council You can say there is a
big kick coming, and you will be we'll
within the truth"

Gets into Tangle Over Resolutions Fav
orable to Cuba-Other Matters Consid-
cred
Nashville, Tenn, December IT,
When the American Federation OF
Labor met to-day the report OF the
special committee on convict labor,
which was presented yesterday, was
brought up and the commentators
of the committee were read. The re-
port was adopted after some discus
sion.
The committee on executive coun-
ellis report stated that the matter CT
dispute between the Federation, the
National Union of Steam Engineers
and Local Union No. 6S07, OF Boston,
had been mutually adjusted to the full
satisfaction Of all parties concerned.
The report was adopted.
Several spirited speeches followed
the introduction pertaining to the slt-
uation in Cuba. The resolution de-
clares "that it is the sense OF TINS
convention that the United States
conoress should waste no more time
in useless debate )and diplomatic
chicanery. but should take such I'M
mediate action as may tend to put an
end to the indiscriminate murder OF
the common people Of Cuba by Spanish
soldiery."
The following substitute for the res
olution was introduced:
"That it be the sense of the con-
vention that Cuba have industrial free
dom, from which it will receive po-
litical freedom"
A motion was made to table the
substitute, ard the question was
brought up whether or not the tabling
Of the substitute included the original
resolution. Chairman Elderlin ruled
that it did not and subsequently re-
yersed his decision. An appeal was
finally taken from the decision OF the
chairman. President GOmDeTs took
the chair, and when it was discovered
by reference to the minutes that Dele
gate Elderken had reversed his de-
cision, the appeal was withdrawn, but
Immediately a member of the opposite
faction rose and appealed. A vote
was taken after an hour CT more had
been consumed, and the convention
adjourned to hear the result at the
afternoon session.
A resolution declaring chat this
convention demands the government
ownership Of the telegraph lines Of
this country, and the officers Of this
Federation are hereby ordered to- de
all in their power to assist the Inter
national Typographical Union to at
tain this end" was adopted.
A resolution protesting against anti
scalping legislation by Congress was
adopted.
The convention adopted resolution
looking to the appointment of factory
Inspectors in each State that at present

about 1:1O o'clock Jacob Tarlowsky, who
sleeps in a room adjoining his store was
awakened by burglars breaking into the
store. He arose and went into the store
by a side door just in time to see the bur-
glar entering the front window, which he
had broken open. Mr.. TarlOwsky had no
firearms, so he struck a match and when
he did so the burglar ran. Mr.. Tarlowsky
did not raise any alarm and Thursday
morning II was found that burglars had
entered the stores Of Fred Pitts and W.
f. Bynum by breaking the glass in the
show window. Mr.. Pitts lost a new suit
Of clothes and some other small articles
Mr. Bynum lost some drugs and a lot of
jewelry No clew has been found as yet
as to who the burglar is.

and John were in collision and got to-
gether to frame a fictitious history, they
would have been exceedingly careful to
fix the details so as to exclude any dis
crepancies. In Matthew we read that
Christ when on trial, was clothed with
a scarlet robe. In Mark, Luke and John
it is recorded that He wore a purple robe.
In Matthew, Mark and Luke we read that
one Simon of Cyrene bore the cross to
the place of crucifiXion In John it is
written that Jesus bore the cross himself.
All differ as to the words written above
the cross Matthew has it: This is Jesus
the King of the Jews; Mark: The King
of the Jews Luke: This is the King of
the jews John: Jesus of Nazareth, the
King of the Jews. l say to you that these
very differences stamp the gospels with
divine truth Now, if the young ladies
had gotten together in collision to tell
story of the writing of a will that never
existed, they would have agreed upon
the details as to the paper, ink, etc This
would have been their first thought. Their
recollections differ because of the act of
which they have testified occurred when
their souls were troubled at the death
bed of their beloved mother. AS with the
gospels, the discrepancies of their evil
dence is a testimony of the truth of what
they utter"
Senator Morgan won the case.

Had that panegyric reached McCullagh's
ears that night the reporter would have
received orders to Yacate the office.
McCullagh disliked to hear that such
and such a reporter wrote good story.
1t wasn't jealousy that prompted this
dislike, but rather a desire TO obliterate
individuality in the Globe-Democrat
Each individual effort in the Globe-Demo-
crat was as a screw in the machine. Sen
sational or circus journalism he detested
When he was in his prime in St. Louis
Pulitzer was a reporter on German
paper. McCullagh referred sarcastically
to Pulitzer's rise and hit off the editor
as 1.-The Yeddish descendant of the race
that crucified the peasant of Palestine, an
ex-waiter, who used to fetch me my
SOUP"
McCullagh made but few intimates. 1t
is a strange coincidence that his closest
frieud-Judge Normile-was a victim of
self-slaughter, killed by prussic acid, in
August, 1892, leaving a request scrubbed
on a pad of scratch paper, that his body
be cremated and the ashes scattered in
the Mississippi river.
McCullaghs obituary essay on the death
of Normile was an eloquent lament, teem-
ing with a depth of feeling that amount
ed almost to a despairing cry. A few
days later NorInile was attacked by a
Catholic priest who edited a weekly pa
per- the dead man being arraigned on a
charge of deserving his faith. McCullagh
responded to the priest in one of the bit
terest shots that ever dripped sizzling
from a pen of gall, But the indictment
was scarce worth the effort. The charac-
ter of the priest was hardly open to in
spection 1t was the discharging of a
Krupp gun at flea.
McCullagh was an enormous eater and
inveterate smoker. But he generally en-
joyed good health, being heavy of chest
and sound of stomach. Though he didn' t
possess the advantages that accrue from
an aoademical education, he absorbed
books, and was regarded as more than
passing proficient in literary lore.
McCullagh was vain of his war achieve
ments. Eugene Field wrote a poem, en-
titled Little Mac" with McCulagh fig
uring as the omnipresent war correspond
ent with great gift of pen. McCullagh
responded by presenting Field with a
valuable gold watch. OF late years his
pen has been confined to those sparkling
paragraphs that lighted up the editorial
page of the Giobe-Democrat He owned
a large proportion-though not the ma
jority-of the stock of the Globe-Demo-
crat, and died comparatively wealthy.
