JAMES A HA6GERTY DEAD.
A Prominent Fairmont Lawyer Passes
Away.
Fairmont Eypositor June 9th

Fairmont Eypositor June 9th.
Saturday evening, about 10 o'clock,
James n. Haggerty died at his home
in Palatine. the immediate cause of
his death being dysentery He was
43 years old and for many years had
been an attorney practicing at the bar
of Marion county. A wife and two
sons, Walter and James, are left to
mourn the death of a father cut off
inJthe prime Of life.
Jim Haggerty was man of more
than ordinary talent and capability
as a lawyer or humble birth, he dug
out an education IN the school of hard
knocks and persistent application, and
when young man entered upon the
practice of the legal profession. En-
lowed with a quick intellect and nat
urally analytical mind, he soon be-
came a prominent practitioner and
was entrusted with some very inn
portant business and was rated as
one of the lawyers here who was des-
tined to become 3 leading figure in
the practice in the county aud ex
tending his business into various por-
tions of the state. 1t is true of him
that he was at all times honorable in
all his business dealings. His was a
life full of promise.
He was a whole-souled man. He
''likeds people. And they had great
admiration and fondness for him.
People in all parts of the county re-
garded him as their friend, for he had
the happy faculty of mixing with the
populace. He had been the prosecu-
ting attorney Of the county, receiving
the office by the largest vote that
ever had been given candidate for
the position. 1t showed the esteem
in which he was held

ing, Thou hast seen things unlaw-
1ul to be looked upon. These things
are really faithful pictures of what
the future holds in store for all
whom you here have seen. But
since you have been allowed to draw
aside for moment, the veil of the
future, some punishment must be
inflicted upon you. Many years ago
beautiful princess named Cassan-
dra received the gift of prophecy,
but with the gift was imposed upon
her the humiliation that no one
should believe her declaration of
what the future would bring forth.
And so it will be for you. You have
dared to look into this kaleidoscope
where future events are martialing
themselves; so you shall not be be-
lieved when you tell your friends
what you have seen. You shall be
speaking the truth but it will be
only as mockery to those who
shall hear -and the machine eeas-
ed to work.

Highwaymen on Wheels.

A wheelman of West 46th Street,
New York was, not long since at
tackled, robbed and left senseless by
two highwaymen mounted on bicycles
in central Park. Repeated accounts
of robberies:by men mounted upon the
swift revolving wheel have appeared
in the papers in various parts Of the
country. In each instance, so far as
learned, they have evaded the police.
Those depredators of the health, dis
eases of the kidneys and bladder, will
likewise in all likelihood escape ar
rest, and pursue their atrocious Ca
reer 'unheeded, unless they are arrest
ed in the outset by the potent inter-
vention of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, the finest diuretic, as we'll as
tonic, known to modern times. The
genial preventive named is the best
known medicinal safeguard not only
against renal, but also rheumatic and
malarial disorders. 1t Is in the start
that disease is the more easily and
completely overcome. The use of the
Bitters is followed by the happiest
results in cases Of dyspepsia, constipa-
tion, liver complaint and nervous
ness.

TWO NICE AFFAIRS.
The Reception at the Universe
ty and the Dance at the
Wallace House.

Both Of these are well attended-The
Affair at the University beinglsimply
Crush-The Governor Board Of Ne
gents ami the Faculty with their
Wives receive the Guests-Refresh-
ments Seryed-The Wallace House
Dance was very nice affair-Why
There was no Commencement Ball.
There will be one next Year.
The people of Morgantown, stu
dents and their friends were re-
ceived on Thursday evening in the
gymnasium at the University. One
thousand people were present at
various times during the evening
The receiving line was formed short
ly after eight o'clock and the visit
ors were received by the Governor,
the Board of Regents and members
of the faculty and their wives.
After the reception the evening
was spent as usual at such functions
the tremendous heat preventing the
crowd from enjoying themselves as
much as they otherwise would have
done. Refreshments we're served by
several Of the young lady students
OF the University up stairs in the
chapel.
The University orchestra furnish
ed the music for the occasion and
toward the close of the affair num-
Der of couples danced in the gym.
This was not on the program but it
was enjoyed all the same. The func-
ton was over about eleven o'clock
and the crowd dispersed.
At the same time very enjoya-
bic dance was being given at the
Wallace House, The students had
been compelled to take this step be-
cause the reception was scheduled
for the only night on which theCom-
mencemetiball could have been held.
They were denied a room at the I'm
iversity and were forced to come
down town if they had anything at
all.
They did so and the affair was
most successful. There were fifty
couples in attendance and they all
enjoyed themselves immensely. The
dance was arranged by students
Anderson, Drane and Mitchell and
they deserve credit for their work.
Mrs. Scrafiord, Mrs. Harvey and
Mrs. Grant received the guests. The
music was furnished by the Italian
orchestra, of Connellsville, which is
quite popular here. There were
twenty-five numbers and the dane
ing lasted from nine o'clock until
four the next morning. The re-
freshments were served by the Wal
lace House and were very elegant
indeed as is usual with anything
served at this place. When the
dance broke up the guests all felt
that they had had as pleasant a
time as they would have had at a
more elaborate affair such as is us
ually given at the close of the col
lege year.
However there will be Com
mencement ball next year.

SUSPEND JUDGMENT.
Rev Charles White Asks the
Public Not to Pass Judg-
ment on Him


Until all the Facts are Knoxville will
Reveal Them at the Proper Time.
The Present is not the Time nor the
Place is Not Here-0ther Facts and
Circumstances Exist Which are not
Known and Which VIII put an En-
tirely Different Light on the Matter,
When these are known you can Judge.
Until then Withhold your Censure.
The First Statement that has Been
Made About the Affair and the Ex-
act Language used by Him.
Rev. Charles White, who was so
strangely connected with the death OF
Miss Minnie Holmes, has given us a
statement for publication. He was
asked to do this in justice to himself.
In all cases there are two sides to be
heard. We have heard but one side
and OF course the facts given on that
are not only distorted and made worse
than they really are, but they also
are not stated along with others
which might put an entirely different
phase on the matter.
The place to try the case, however,
is not in the newspapers. 1t will
come up in the Presbytery, of which
Rev. A. NJ. Buchanan, of this place,
is the moderator. The church will
ask that he be removed~from his pas
toral duties at Clarksburg and he will
join them in this request, This will
be done irrespective of whether or not
he is guilty as charged. 1t will do no
good to continue him there even If
the result of the investigation should
show him to be entirely free from
blame.
Then he will ask the charges which
have been made of him through the
press to be Investigated. When this
is done and all the facts are known
in their true light then there will be
time to judge him and pass sentence
on him. Until then the benefit of
every doubt should be extended to
him. This his friends are disposed
to do and they will await the decis-
ion of the church with great eager
ness. They want to believe him
guiltless and they will do SO If pos
sible.
At first he was disposed TO give us
the whole story of the affair as he
alone knows it, but after due consider
alton he came to the conclusion that
it would dc no good and might result
in harm. That the proper time would
come to make defense and that
until then he had best remain silent.
The statement that he made is as
follows:
GAS to the Pittsburg affair | would
say that / know circumstances and
facts that will set the matter in a
very different light than it now APP
pears. At the proper time all these
facts will be made known. Until
then ask the public not to judge me
as the known circumstances now in
dieate.a

A Distinguished Alumnus of the Uni.
versity.

1t is with great pleasure that we
announce the fact that another
alumnus OF the University has been
highly honored. DIR. Samuel S.
Adams, Of Washington City has long
held place Of prominence among
the physicians of that city. Besides
his large practice he has been a lee
turer in several medical colleges and
for "a long time special lecturer on
the diseases of children, in the
Georgetown Medical College.
Lately this medical college elected
him as its chief teacher-its lectur-
er on the theory and practice of med
icine. This is an honor worthily
bestowed, trust well placed. We
congratulate DR.. Adams on his
marked success.

This year there will only be about
twenty law graduates. This may
seem strange at first, but when the
facts are known it will appear that
the law course is growing broader and
deeper, and that more time and at
tention will be given to the work
hereafter than has been given to il
during the last twenty years.
Both professors and students have
worked faithfully for the last college
year. Dean johnson has lectured
throughout the year on three new sub
jects, and of course this made more
work for him and the students; but,
as usual, the deans lectures were sys.
tematic and instructive.
DR.. Brooke is well known as a pro-
fessor, being peculiarly fitted for the
position he holds. His lectures on
the subjects he teaches are equal tC
those given in any other University
in the country.
As for the work done by Professor
| Wiley little need be said The sub
jects he teaches are those used every
day by lawyers. Prof. Willey's lee
lures are. always scholarly, carefully
prepared, and state the law carefully
on every subject. He strives to give
the student a clear and correct idea OF
the law on each question he touches.
There is no professor in the Univer-
sity whose lectures are more logical
and none who is listened to with more
attention by the students than Prof
Wiley.
The. law faculty as a whole is a
body of strong minded men, wei
fitted by study and experience for the
positions they hold, and are popular
with the student body.-University

The Department of Physics

A correspondent of the University
Daily interviewed Prof. Hodges re
Gently concerning the progress Of
the Department of Physics in the
last two years and found that the eff
ticiency of the department has been
very materially increased. 1t will
be remembered that prior to
1896, the Chair of Physics was com
bined with Chemistry under one
preseason. Although Prof. White
hill had done all any man could do,
the work devolving upon him was
too great In view of this fact, the
Board Of Regents separated the
Chairs of Chemistry and Physics
giving the latter to Prof. Hodges
who has since held that position
One of the greatest improvements
is the establishment of working
laboratory in which individual work
is carried on. This room has only
been in use one year, 1t is this
phase of the department. work that
deserves especial mention. The stu
dents work individually, thus requir
ing much labor and painstaking
care by the professor Every after
noon of the week, Saturday not ex-
cepted, is occupied with this work.
In addition to this, Prof. Hodges
has his regular classics, which
require considerable time Thus we
see that the demands of the depart
ment have steadily grown until they
are equal to that of any other in the
University.
1t is interesting to note the work
ing apparatus of this laboratory.
While it is not the most complete
that could be desired, yet the OPP
portunity for thorough work along
most lines is very good indeed. 1t
is provided with pulleys and all the
accompanying apparatus for illus
tration of mechanical forces; friction
apparatus, pendulum, balances, gal
vanometers, etc, also equipments for
the demonstration of light, heat,
electricity and magnetism. In fact.
the work done this year has been
very encouraging and undoubtedly
compares favorably with like insti-
buttons, elsewhere.
In this laboratory al one 46 stu
dents have pursued courses this
year The regular class in Fresh
man physics numbered 40. Also
quite large number were enrolled
in preparatory work
This evidently speaks well for the
earnest efforts of Prof. Hodges His
popularity among his students bears
testimony .of his efficient conscien-
tious work Reference to new cata-
logue will show that the work out
lined there is much higher than the
courses pursued heretofore. First
years college physics has been adj
vanced to Sophomore year. Adj
vanced courses have been provided
for in order to suit the demands OF
engineering students. We refer to
this to show the marvellous growth of
this department and of its possible
ties.

SAVE THEM.
The ExpOsit0r tells How Much Fair
mont Lost BY Cntting Down Her
Shade Trees When the Streets Were
Payed-It is the Intention to Save
Them Here.

And now is the time when the peo-
pie wish that there could have been
some way devised to save the shade
trees when the streets were paved,
as was done at Charleston and at
Huntington. In those cities the bust
ness streets are lined with shade
trees, like commonwealth avenue In
Boston and like Sixth avenue in New
York. 1t was peculiar notion that
prevailed that to have shade trees
made the streets look less business
like. Mistakes like that are made
only once. If there Is any more paw
ing done here in districts where there
are shade trees the trees will be saw
ed. In Huntington there are the
beautiful streets in this or in many
other states and they look like busi-
ness, too, and at the same time there
are trees along them. Pennsylvania
avenue in Washington, busy street,
has trees.
