DIR. j. r. Thompson.

A large audience assembled in COM
mencement hall on Wednesday even
ing to hear ex-President j. r. Thomp-
son deliver his lecture on THE Destiny
of the Great Republic" A great
many of Mr.. Thompson's old friends
and admirers were present to hear
him again. Prof Hodges, who was a
student during President Thompson's
administration, introduced the speak
er with some very felicitous remarks
Upon his appearance Mr.. Thompson
was greeted with prolonged applause.
He first referred to his experience in
the University and stated that when
he became president there were just
At students. After five years of tire
less work he left the University with
167 students. Many pleasant refer
ences were made to those days. He
drew striking contrast between the
University Of that day and the great
school of more than six hundred stu
dents to-day. He congratulated Pres
ident Raymond warmly on the sue
cess of his work and expressed prayer
that it might go on forever continually
widening its influence and increasing
its usefulness.
He then lectured for nearly an hour
on the future possibilities of the
greatest country on earth and showed
what a brilliant future was before the
Great Republic. The lecture was one
of DR.. Thompson's best efforts and
drew forth applause at several points.
1t was full of hope, giving his rea-
sons for the faith that was within him,
and was pronounced by many Of his
hearers the best lecture of the course.
Every one was glad to meet him again
and sorry we don't see him oftener.

An engine strikes street car in Balti-
more and breaks several bones for
him-He was formerly Of this Place.

d. F. Ireland formerly of this

DURBANNAH ELECTION.
Street Paving Propositiog Now
Up Over There.

The Election will be Held Oh saturday
1t is the only Topic of Converse
ton Friends of the Movement say
that it win Carry all right-all the
Principal Streets are to be Paved and
the Hills are to Be Macadamized-
Nine Thousand Dollars Worth o.
Bonds are to Be Issued Every Vote
Will BE Cast in the Borough.
South Morgantown is in the midst
of Ii campaign for paved streets.
The election will be held Saturday
and those who are in favor OF the
plan say it will be unanimous as it
was on this side of the creek. They
say situated as they are without a
cent of debt and free from trouble on
that score that they cannot afford to
allow us to pass them in the race for
municipal improvement.
The election is the main topic OF
conversation on the other side of
Deeker's creek. The polling place
will be in the foundry of Geo NJ
Reay. The amount of bonds which
it is proposed to issue is $4,000 and
the tax rate in consequence OF this
amount is to be fixed at 80 cents 30
pay the interest and provide a sink
ing fund
1t is proposed to pave all the prin-
cipal streets without a cent of cost
to the abuJting property holders and
to macadamize the road up the hill
past the cemetery to the corporation
line. The main street is to be paved
to the Pump Station.
These improvements will add very
much to the value of the property in
the little town and when the bridge
is completed as it will be before the
paving is done the influx of people
who want to live over there will send
prices up sailing. 1t will be the
most attractive place in town for
residence and the people who are
thinking about building will not be
slow to see this.
SouIh MOr9antoWn can do lots
of worse things than to vote the
small amount of bonds which the
election carries with it and putting
the money so secured into the perma-
nent improvement of paved streets.
1t will help the town in a great many
ways too numerous and well known
to need enumerating. The people
over there are wide awake however
and they may be trusted to see the
proper way to act in the question
that is now before them.

1t isn't often man carries a whole

BALL GAME SATURDAY.
Western University Will be
Here Then to Get Licked.

The Team is a good one and will be
/ Accompanied by ssDoggie' Tren-
chard who will catch for them-They
Have had several games this year
and will put up warm Game. The
/ Local Boys Ought to Beat them all
Right Though This VIII BE the last
| tame until May 2S when Ohio Wes-
lyan comes.
''Doggie" Trenchard and his pets
from the Western University of
PENNSYLVANIA will be here on Saturday
afternoon to try conclusions with the
team from the w. V. u. or course
we feel certain that the boys here will
take the scalp of the Allegheny lads
/ and that without much trouble, but
that remains TO be seen. Trenchard
has had the team hard at work for
several months and they should be in
splendid condition.
Their record for the year already
/ made is not very good one bat they
have had the experience that comes
from having games and are getting
better all the time. Consequently they
will be foemen worthy of our steel
The coach will himself be behind the
bat for them and that will give them
lots OF strength and confidence.
There has been some objection to al
lowing Trenchard TO play, but Bruner
has consented to allow him 10 fly in
and he will be seen behind the bat
for the Pennsylyanians. This fact
alone will be enough TO draw big
crowd to see the game, as sDoggien Is
very popular and justly SO here.
The team here will line up In much
the same way that they did last Sat-
urday when they defeated Waynes-
burg SO badly and they are confident
that the defeat to be given their op-
ponents this time will be much worse
than the one the Greene county BOYS
received then.
Infs game Is to be the last one on
the home grounds until May %, when
Ohio Wesleyan comes here. This In
situations chief claim to fame is that
it was attended by Johnson for some
months at one period in its obscure
history. For further information see
Johnson.
The rooters are very well satisfied
with the way the team has started
this season and they expect them to
win nearly all IL not all the games
that they are in. The team Is GER
tainly the best that ever represented
the University, and 1t is composed OF
gentlemen who are In every way
credit to the school. We are Justly
proud Of our team and will have more
reason to be as the season gets older.

rRoops ron WAR.

Speculation Is heard on every hand
as to how many troops will be called
into the federal service IL war with
Spain shall be declared as the result OF
the nations purpose TO have Cuba
freed. There can be no doubt that
10? every man asked for in the volun-
teers City or hundred would offer
themselves so that in any event there
would be a greater supply than de.
man1 II is accepted as a truism that
the hostilities would be confined al
most entirely to the ses, with the use
OF land forces only for an occupation
OF Cuba or for the manning Of our
coast defenses. 1t is therefore the
view Of those competent to give an
opinion that not TO exceed 200. 600
troops at the most would be needed
especially since in all likelihood the
war would be but matter of a few
months.
The regular army OF less than 3O,Oo9
men would bo Immediately available
aud with them something more than
100, 900 men constituting the organic ID
militia OF the several states. These
forces would probably be ali that
would be called INTO the service at
drst. With request from the presi-
dent for men the procedure would be-
for the governor Of the states TO ten.
der each his troops, they having pre-
viously placed themselves at his dis
position for the national service, as
has been done universally throughout
the country. They would thus BE- vol
unteer soldiers but would still be
known by their state and regimental
number. With call for more mer
than the states could supply IN this
way there would be veritable scram
BILE to get to.the front, for the appor-
honment would allow each common

MADE UP ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
Husband and wife Never Spoke to One
Another In Twenty Years.

Husband and wife Never Spoke to One
Another in Twenty Years.
Last Christmas was happy day for
New York farmer and his wife. on
that day Mr.. and Mrs. John Stewart OF
Matawan resumed their old relations
toward one another and both are now
once more happy Twenty-one years
have Mr. and Mrs Stewart been mar
ried, but for the last twenty years
neither has spoken a word directly to
the other. When either wished to say
anything he or she would speak to a
black cat In this way they have liv-
ed. Nelghbors often tried TO bring
about a reconciliation, but never sue
ceeded, as neither would give in to the
other.
The quarrel grew out OF Mrs Stew
arts desire to go to church. Before
her marriage she was In the habit OF
attending every Sunday, and after sns
became Mrs. Stewart she still desired
to continue the practice, Her husband
objected. He did not believe in church
going, and preferred to have his wife
with him on the only day in the week
on which he did not labor The result
was that Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart gave
up speaking directly to one another.
Mrs. Stewart every Sunday went to
church and sat in the seat she occu-
pied when a mere child and always
alone. When friends asked her why
her husband did not accompany her
she was ready with an excuse for him.
The Stewards are going to celebrate
the settlement OF their long quarrel
by giving a party, e which will be IN
vited all their friends. Neighbors are
now wondering which of the stubborn
couple was the first 70 give in.
