The Episcopal Hall and The State
University.
Church N swl

A month has now passed since the
opening of the State University at
Morgantown, and brief report may
be made of the Episcopal Halls pro-
gress during that time. There are
thirty six students In the Hall, six
teen of them being the most studious
of last years attendance. The whole
number are Off higher type of indus
try in study, as seems to be the case
with the general average in the Uni
yersity itself.
Thirty six make every room to be
occupied, most of the rooms with two
students each, although there are
places for four or five more. II the
Hall had money enough, small sep
arate building could be built for SER
wants, thus leaving the Hall comfort
able quarters for about fifty students.
But the money question is as inn
portant in the Hall as it seems to be
elsewhere, and it is struggle now TO
meet expenses on account of the low
charges made for board and lodging
A few friends In Pittsburg have
been generous enough to contribute
towards the settlement of part OF
the Halls Indebtedness. Messer A..
&c. w. Painter and John B. Jackson
gave 800 each, Gen'l Fitzhugh, $25,
Mr. j. Watson Stewart, $40, and Mrs.
0rmsby Phillips, go In addition TO
this Mr.. John o. Slemmons paid the
board of an orphan student for one
month. Miss Benson, of Allegheny,
made the Hall present OF number
of window curtains that add TO its
beauty.
1t may be Of interest to the readers
Of the the Church News to know that
the University seems TO have fallen
into very wise and capable hands this
year. A beginning has been made by
the Board of Regents along the right
llnes-llnes perhaps neglected too
much in the past. The unwise policy
Of filling the professional chairs with
either young graduates Of the insti-
tuition or with men who had a "polit
ical" or even 'denominationap pull
seems to have been sometimes follow
ed to the hurt of the school. But
the Regents seem to be departing
from that policy now, and are bring
ing in an element of actual university
blood that ought to show good results
for the future. In order to succeed,
this university needs more than any
thing else, in these days Of found
ations, the infusion of new methods
and new men OF university training.
The day for supplying It's chairs
from its own graduates ought not to
come before it is on par with Har-
ward and Johns Hopkins, and even In
those universities that policy Is not
advocated. Merit should be the only
qualification; the question Of influ-
ence, or state, or party, or church,
should never enter into the choice Of
a professor. The new board of re-
gents seem to have discovered this,
and the result is list of new men on
the faculty that gives hopes of bril-
liant future. Us.

Hon. Richard Randolph Mcmahon.
OF Jefferson county, and member OF
the board of regents of the State
University, has on two occasions
demonstrated in substantial way
the interest he has in the welfare OF
the institution, and set an exampl
which should be followed by other
public spirited citizens who base
the interest Of the University at
heart. Four years ago, at which
time he had no official connection
with the institution, Mr.. Mcmahon
offered prizes TO students for excel
lence of work. This year he has
taken similar action and has offered
the University students prizes in
gold, as follows:
| To the student of the law
school who passes the best examina-
ion.
2. For the best essay on the sub
ject, "What was Shakespeare's Re.
ligion?'
3 To the best drilled cadet
A. To the student in the musical
department making the best prog
ress.
Mr. McMahon's motive is to en-
courage the prliseworthy emulation
which impels young men in their
efforts for success and superiority,
and the Intelligencer hopes to see
others who may be so disposed to in
dicahs their interest in similar
pract cal way. The pleasure one
finds in the knowledge that he is en-
couragilg young men and soHe"
of the state in their struggle for SUI
periority is reward enough.-Mtei{j-

CHARLESTON SHAKEN UP.
BY Findings of the Recent Grand Jury.
City Ofilcials Indicted for Bribery and
Other Crimes-War Of Factions.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 81
The grand jury that was impannel-
ed by Judge Guthrie to investigate
the alleged corruption of the city
and county officials, made report
to day and returned II indictments
as follows: City Councilman 4. A.
Botkin, for attempting to bride
Councilman l.. l.. Brice; Joseph l..
Cook, who was a juror in the late
Mcdonald trial, for false swearing;
John ii. Burdett, school trustee,
for soliciting and accepting bride;
Marion Goff, school trustee, for
soliciting and accepting bride;
John Davis, three indictments for
assault with intent to kill; John w.
Jarrett, city sergeant in 1896, for
embezzling 81 500 of the city funds;
Councilman G. 0. Chiffon, brother
of ex-Secretary of State, w. Il. Chill
ton. and Thomas Hail.. brother Of
Criminal G. w. Hall, for attempting
to bribe another councilman, L. L.
Price; G. o. Chiffon, Tom Hall, Z.
A. Botkin and John Hall, another
brother of Judge Hall, for attempt
ing to cheat the city and state out of
its revenues; A. G. Blair, ex-prose-
cutting attorney, two indictments for
malfeasances in office.
Judge Mcdonald was not indicted
as was expected. The Mcdonald
faction who seemed to fare badly at
the hands of the jury are swearing
vengeance and say they will contin-
lie the fight until they land some of
those who have prosecuted them in
the penitentiary. This is only the
beginning and it is expected that
the warfare will be waged without
fear of any consequence.

A Slight Mistake.

The Washington Observer has the
following TO say of c. K Nethken.
We are sorty tibet John will not be
in the game. He would, if there,
''show 'cm the trick as he did at
Wheeling.
Nethken, one of the crack players
on the Morgantown University foot
ball eleven, which will appear on the
local gridiron Saturday, against the
w. q J. team, has renowned ances-
try. He is direct descendent of
Browning, the famous hunter, who
spent 40 years in the mountains OF
Virginia, West Virginia and Mary
land, killing more deer, bears, pan
theirs and wildcats than any other
man in the United States, save Dan
iel Boone, who achieved unparalleled
fame in this direction in the wilds
of the ''Blue Grass state. The foot
ball player is a great grandson OF
Browning on his mothers side, and
it may be added that all the descen-
dant's, like their ancestor, love a
gun, and are great marksmen.

Pretty steam Boat Race.

While returning from Pittsbure
last Sunday, the steamer Isaac M.
Mason with party Of excursionists
on board came up with the packet
James G. Blaine a short distance
above lock No. 4, and one of the pref
tiest steamboat races ever seen on the
Monongahela ensued. All the way to
Brownsville, distance of about 1a
miles, the contest was close one.
Very few landings were made by
either steamer, and it so happened
that the landings were in such places
that after backing out into the
stream the steamers would be almost
side by side. The passengers took
a lively interest in the contest and
twitted one another as one boat OF
the other went ahead. Once when
the Mason had to stop to get Goa
some Of the passengers rushed down
on the deck and asked to be allowed
to help the crew so that no time
might be lost. The Mason made two
more landings than the Blaine, but
the time consumed in stops by each
boat was about equal. These two
handsome steamers, so graceful in
outline, running side by side at full
speed, upon water as smooth as d
mirror, made pretty river scene,
and people along the river came out
to see it. The Mason twice passed
the Blaine under way and showed
herself superior in point of speed, and
at Brownsville, was about three
fourths of mile ahead in the race

Shakespeare's Immortal Love
Tragedy Romeo and Juliet was
given by Bertha Creighton at Music

gained an cnviable reputation as
leading lady to The Holland Broth

her first year as star and from the
performance she gave last night she
bids fair to soon reach the summit
of the stellar ladder. Being admira-
bly, endowed by nature for playing
the cast of Juliet she combines the
correct conception of the character
with the ability to put into cxecu-

rest of the cast Jerome Anthony

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with very severe cold that
caused him to be in most miserable
condition. 1t was undoubtedly a bad
case of la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps to
bring about speedy cure. From the
advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded to make first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was salts
factory in its results, is putting 1t
very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was a speedy and
permanent cure. We have no hest
fancy in recommending this excellent
Cough Remedy to any one afflicted
with a cough or cold in any form. -
