Twenty times the number of names
given above might have been secured,
but this number was regarded as suffi-
cient to issue the call and the names
represent the various interests. All
who were approached upon the sub
ject manifested the liveliest interest
in the matter, and characterized it as
a movement in the right direction.
The apparent apathy of Wheeling, in
the face of the fact that other commu-
mites have been manifesting their pa
triOtic enthusiasm in public form, has
been frequently commented upon The
degree Of interest which was dis
played yesterday afternoon in this
movement for public demonstra-
ton proves however, that it was only
necessary to start the ball a-rolling
and gives promise that it will con-
stantly gather momentum until the
latent enthusiasm of the people of
Wheeling and vicinity is released in
the form of a magnificent patriotic eel
ebration the latter part of the week
1t was the first intention to hold to-
nights meeting at the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce, but it was soon
decided that they were too small to
accommodate the number Of citizens
who are expected to attend. Manager
Fidelius Reister rendered the use of
the Opera House, and it was accepted
by the committee. The public is in
vited and expected to attend. While
the meeting is called for the purpose
of formulating plans for a monster out
door celebration, there will probably
be a number Of patriotic addresses, and
the proceedings will not be lacking in
interest
Saturday afternoon has been sug-
gested as the time for holding the
demonstration. This Gate was chosen
for the reason that work will be gener-
any ouopSnucu anu uGoTly every clIl-
zen will be enabled to either partici-
pate or witness the street parade.
Every organization in the city will be
invited to participate, and the military
bodies will probably be assigned
position at the right of the line. The
Wheeling Volunteers will probably
turn out, and such organizations as
the G. A. R., Sons OF Veterans, Knights
of Pythias. Knights Templar, Knights
OF st George and U. r. A. 0. Knights
of the Mystic Chain, all handsomely
uniformed bodies, would make a very
creditable demonstration in them
selves.
1t has also been suggested that the
Linsly Cadets and the Cathedral High
School Cadets be induced to partici-
pate. 1t would be an excellent idea
to have all the school boys in the
