THREE INTERESTING ITEMS.

The News Standard tells about the New
steam boat to be built at Brownsville.
Hard work merchant had to get a
Boy aud Historic Cane owned
by the Citizens of Uniontown.
The owners of the Mason line Of
steamers have decided to build new
boat to take the place of the Harry
ID. Knox. The hull for this boat will
be constructed by the firm Of Axton
& Son. The new steamer will be
much longer than the Knox and will
have the machinery of the George r.
Ford. She is expected to be q strong
and beautiful packet and fitted in
every way to conform to all the re-
quirements of the excursion trade.
Work on the hull will begin as soon as
possible.
A certain merchant in town COM
plains about the difficulty he exper-
fenced in getting a boy to work sat-
isfs.ctorily for him. He made the as
tonishing statement that out of thir-
teen boys there was but one of them
that was willing to work and learn
the business; the balance wanted a
mans wages before he had ever at
tempted to learn the first rudiments
of doing anything in his line. He
made the assertion that too many
boys are looking out for snaps and to
find these a man must be away up in
the profession and able to earn the
snap, as they call it,
II. |. Keys, of Morgantown street,
| is in possession of cane that is made
fSpm piece of hickory out of the ia
nous flag ship Lawrence. The Law
renee was the flag ship of the naval
fleet of Commodore Barclay on Lake
Erie in 1913 and captured the whole
British fleet of two ships, two briggs,
one schooner and a sloop, 600 men
and ga cannon. This was signal
victory for the Americans and won a
name and fame for the young COM
mander, who it was said was only %
years old at the time of the conflict.
The cane is part Of one of the tim
bers of the ship, and engraved in the
gold head is a miniature picture of
the commodore. The cane was given
to the present owners grand father
Hugh Keys, by j. e. Cameron, uncle
of Don Cameron, over go years ago.

FeR PROMOTION.
Lieut.. Lockwood is now in Washington
TO take examination for that purpose.

Lieut.. Lockwood, commandment Of
cadets at the University has gone to
Washington where be will take the
examination for promotion to cap
taincy. lie will be back in a few
days, perhaps by Sunday. He hiss
been first lieutenant ever since
1889 and we hope that he will soon
have the right to the double bar on
his shoulder straps. The rumor to
the effect that he had been called to
Washington for inspection and that
it had some connection with the war
scare has no foundation

THERE WILL BE WAR.
GeOrge Wesley Atkinson notable who
takes the same view of the situation
as Cant. UT.

When Captain UT declared that
there would be war beyond doubt
he was the object of good deal of
good natured chatting. Now he has
the laugh on his tormentors as he
has been joined by one of the nota-
bles Of the State. A private letter
from Gov. Atkinson to gentleman
living here says that in the opinion
of the governor there is surely going
to be war and that it can not longer
be delayed This view was taken
after recent trip to Washington
and an inspection of the work that
has been done by the different de-
partments in getting ready for the
fight. The opinion is an important
one.

THE SHOE FACTORY.
Everything Lovely for its Location here
work on it is expected to begin be-
fore long.

fore long.
Will Wilmington hears nearly ev-
cry day from Charles Wade who is
associated in the new venture of a
shoe factory for Morgantown. The
reports are of the most encouraging
character. Mr.. Wade is now in
Lynn, Mass, and has been visiting
the shoe centers Of New England
finding out all he can Of the leather
trade and where he can buy the ma
terial to be used in the manufacture
of the shoes. The factory is sure Of
location here and work is expected
to begin on the plant very soon. II
will not begin quite as soon as was
expected as the preliminaries could
not be arranged as rapidly as ex
pected.
Mr.. Wade will be here sometime
next week and when he makes his
report the method Of procedure viii
then be determined. 1t is almost 8
certainty that the factory will come
and there has nothing happened to
make it any less certain since tht
matter has been investigated

Monongalia Case decided by the SUI
preme Court.

The case of Lazzelle vs.. Carlow
which was decided in the Supreme
Court on Saturday from this county
is somewhat interesting to people in
the county. The case was reversed
and dismissed. Some time ago it
began over a fuss about an
outlet. The amount involved was
not large and the parties to the suit
would have been glad to droa it long
ago but the costs were a matter of
too great moment. They now
amount to more than thousand
dollars. L. V. Keck represented the
side that won in the supreme court
and Cox and Baker were the oppos-
ing counsel. Mr.. Keck is feeling
very jubilnnt over the victory

ANOTHER CONTEST.
The Intersociety Committee SO
Decides the Contest.

I
FiYe Of the six Orators fave moee than
the Regulation Allowance Of Words.
they Each Acknowledge that they
Knew it--At the same time the Only
Man Who was Entitled TO the Decis
ion under the Rules says that he Is
willing for Another Contest and so II
is Decided-The Others are Well Sat
isfied-ApriI sixteenth is the Date for
title same men will Compete The
same Rules will Obtain.
In view of all the complications
that arose in the settlement of the
question OF the winner of the pre-
liminary contest Tor the honor of
representing the University in the
intercollegiate contest to be held at
Waynesburg On May tenth it was
decided by the committee to have a
new contest. This will be held on
April fifteenth and the same men
will enter it as was in the last one.
The solution of the difficulty is ac-
ceptable to all concerned.
No less tnan five Of the six men
who were in the last contest had
gone over the limit of 1900 words as
set by the rules. Each one was called
in before the committee This body
held it's final session on Saturday
afternoon when it reached the con
clusion already given. When the
contestants appeared before it they
each said that they knew the rules
and that they had gone over the
limit. Smith was the only man who
fell under the limit. He had written
more than the number allowed and
when the rule vas shown him he cut
his Grafton down so as to come I'M
der it. The others all went over it
Trussell was the nearest to it hav-
ing only three words too many.
Some of the others went several hun
dred words too high.
Each of the speakers having &C
knowled that he had knowingly VIC
lated the rules there was nothing to
do but order another contest as the
one which had been held could not
be legal. Smith the only man who
come up to the requirements said
that he was willing to forego any
technical rights that he had and was
willing to have another contest and
have the matter settled then. The
others gave their assent to the plan
and the committee after long de-
liberation decided on that way out
of the difficulty.
The next contest will he held I'M
der the same rules. There was a
report in circulation that the rule as
to length had been abandoned but
it is with out foundation The same
rules will hold This is right as the
boys have right to have the same
rules govern them in the prelimina-
ry contest as obtain in the final one
and then they will have no trouble
should the representative from here
win the final event. And there is
no doubt but that he will, The
judges for the final contest are given
in another place. We get one that
we asked for, Mr. John w Davis, of
Clarksburg.

A Narrow Escape.

We do not like women who want to
hold Office, nor men either, for that
matter. But there is something es-
sentially disagreeable to us in the
masculine airs such women put on,
which after time, become matters of
habit. No, we do not like women at
the bar, nor in public Office. nor on
both sides of horse at once, nor on a
bicycle; although we have struggled
hard to master this latter aversion.
When we were a boy we thought girls
didn't walk like boys but just glided
round like angels, but since we have
seen them on bike we see how much
they resemble boys in all parts and
particulars, and how narrowly they
escaped being boys altogether Wet
