The State Library.

Eugene Howell, Secretary OF State,
should feel highly gratiisd at the fol-
lowing report handed into the Assem-

that department, and read before the
Assembly the last night of the session:
"Your Committee on State Library
beg leave to report that while they
have had but little time to devote to
any matters outside of the Library
we have ascsrtained that any former
report concerning tho Library has
nothing to do with that institution,
or the management in any particular!
We have examined into the Library,
its work and condition, and find, after
investigation, that it has been kept i'll
a very exemplary way and in a man
ner as to reflect much credit upon the
library and its management.
The service is efficient and the de-
partment has boon opened 30 as to
give the public an opportunity to
take advantage of it.
A complete record is kept Of every
book taken out and returned and a
catalogue kept of every book purchas-
ed, giving its entire history in detail.
A new catalogue has been compiled
by the present management for the
four years from 1890, after much re-
search and work, thus making a CON-
plete catalogue to date.
We desire to say that the Library,
tho way it is kept now, is a credit to
the State.
We recommend that the Library
be kept open, a. has been done, two
nights in the week for the benefit Of
the public"

THE SUNDAY REGISTER.
The Easter Number Was Great Paper,
and Was in Great Demand

The Easter Number Was Great Paper,
aud Was in Great Demand.
The Easter number of the Sunday Reg
lister. published yesterday, was one Of
the best papers ever issued in Wheeling.
The extra demands from both local readers
and news agents necessitated a large extra
edition. which was almost exhausted. No
paper published in a community of twice
the size. published a larger or more cred
table paper than the Easter edition Of the
Sunday Register.
It's eighteen pages contained all the
live news of the day, local. State, national
and foreign. 1t received the full service Of
the Associated Press. the greatest news
gathering agency in the world. State and
neighborhood happenings were covered by
a corps of special correspondents. Every
local item of interest was found in its
pages. Its society theatrical, industrial
and sporting departments contained all
the current news and chat. and were
much more complete than those of any
other paper published in this city or state,
The literary department Of the Sunday
Register included such matter as is
usually found in a first-class magazine.
There were several special articles appro-
pirate to the Easter season. and a good
selection of fiction. poems and witticisms.
The paper was splendidly illustrated, and
its advertising columns contained many
valuable hints 10 readers.
