Hon. Spencer Collins. of Chenille w.
Va, and of this Senatorial district. is
prominently spoken of as our next repre-
sentative in the State Senate. Mr.. Col
Inns is well known here. having the rep
utation of being one of the foremost law
yers practicing at our bar. also a man
of wide business experience and very
sensible on any Of the public questions
that are before our people. His Democ-
racy is sound and unquestioned. and such
an honor conferred upon him would not
fall upon unworthy NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Signal.
The above named gentleman is we'll
known to the readers of the Register
as a representative Democrat who has
never wavered in his support of the
principles Of the Democratic party. If
the Democrats of the old Fourth SEN
atorial district select Spencer Collins
as their candidate. the selection will
meet with very general favor and he
will, when in the Senate, represent the
whole people.

One of the yellow journals that are
now rampaging and ripping and roar
ing for war has misrepresented ex-
Gov. MacCorkle, whom it quoted as
being anxious for war and fearing we
would not get it. The Parkersburg liar
had a hand in this statement aided by
an able Wheeling fakir, and between
them they managed to make the ex-
Governor out a veritable fre-eating
lingo. Mr.. MacCorkle denies the soft
impeachment. This is one more proof
of the unreliablity of the yellow
journals. They are working their de-
partments for the manufacture of war
news too hard

A GOOD MAN GONE.

Many Wheeling people who were ac-
quainted with ex-Mayor Gustav
Brown, of Charles Town. will mourn
over the news of his death. The Ma
sonic fraternity, especially. will feel
the loss of a most distinguished and
valuable member who was as true to
the elevating principles of the order
as the compass needle to the pole. A
local paper publishes the following
sketch of Mr. Browns life:
Mr. Brown was born in Biedenkopt'
Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, September
LIST 1887. and hence was in his 6lst year.
He came to America in 1853. when a youth
of Is. and by business tact and pluck
earned a comfortable fortune, He was
a man of sterling integrity and great
purity of character and life, and in the
thirty years of his citizenship in Charles
Town was ever one of its most progress
SiVe citizens. and in hearty sympathy ana
cooperation with its development and
prosperity. For six successive terms he
was Mayor of this city, and only resign
ed the office because of failing health'
His administrations were marked by SIN
guar honesty, and public SpiritednesS,
and his official record was as clean as MS
personal life and character. A prominent
and distinguished Mason. the charity and
benevoence of the order had in him a.
worthy example of the brotherhood Of
man: emphasized in his righteous con-
viction of the fatherhood of God, and that
charity. which breathed not a word of
reproach or unkindness against any liv-
ing soul. was the inspiration of a heart
controlled by the most kindly impulses.
He had been grand high priest Of the
GIand Chapter, deputy grand commander
of Knights Templar. grand master OF the
Grand Lodge. and was at the time of his
death the high priest of the Chapter here.
He was several times eminent command
high priest of jefferson Chapter No ,.
and worshipful master of Malta Lodge

the Maine incident, is likely to cause
war between Spain and this country.
If the administration had pursued this
course long ago, as it should. as it was
urged repeatedly to do, and it's party
platform promised, the Maine and her
dead would probably not now be lying
in Havana mud.

HEAVENLY VISIONS.
Rev. S. A. Hayt's Sermon at MayhOw-
err Church.

Rev. S. A. Hayt preached at the May
flower Congregational Church yesterday
morning upon the subject, Heavenly vi
sions" His text was Acts, twenty-sixth
chapter and nineteenth verse, 81 was not
disobedient to the heavenly vision"
Mr.. Hayt said that Paul gave up the bent
of his. life when he saw a vision. In fol-
lowing the dictates of the first vision, even
greater visions appeared to him as the
years passed. The obedience changed his
character, and his visions were the product
of his changed character. The inward state
and outward vision were complementary.
This is true everywhere. Those who keep
themselves pure have heavenly visions. He
who does good deeds has noble ambitions
The bad man believes in bad things and
sees bad things. The man who feels pas
said that the man who is cynical about
women and men, institutions and society,
is putting out his own eyes and walking i'm
darkness. AT the same time, If a man be-
lieves in his fellow creatures he helps both
himself and the man he believes in.
The speaker said that to have heavenly
visions it is necessary TO be obedient to the
divine call. Obedience is the solid founda-
ton of character and success. Civilization
is built on ii. He who disobeys the laws OF
the mind is sent to the insane asylum. He
who dsobeys the laws of health is given
over to the physician and an early grave.
Obedience is our safeguard and the highest
ual law man guards his spiritual interests
and sees the spiritual visions Mans life
is full of heavenly visions, and the height
of his life is in obedience TO them all.
