woman financier recognizes no mean be-
tween absolute safety and reckless eX-
pcnditure. An ardent advocate OF the
'rainy day lump" she always gets
there" with her dimes as well as her
dollars.
There are fully two dozen women In
this country each of whom has more
money than any one of the crowned
heads of Europe except woman--Queen
Victoria, the richest of soveregns. And
what is more. there are at least a half
dozen American women who possess a.
much money as the wealthy ruler of
England.
High and mighty Hetty Green is by no
means feminine freak in the financial
world. Her twenty millions have a for
midable rival in the money of the New
York spinster. Miss Mary Garrett, which
amounts to forty millions. Mrs. Mark
Hopkins also possesses FIVE millions more
than the industrious Mrs. Green, and
equal to her in wealth are Miss Jennie
Flood. daughter of the muti-mllionairc
of San Francisco Miss Julia Rhinelander
of Gotham and Mrs. Marshall o. Roberts
of the same city Mrs. -. +. Morgan of
Washington, has Il bank account of ten
millions. while Mrs. Charles b. AleXan-
der of New York has six millions. And
there are many other minor millionaire

A solid Baltimore House.

The firm of Julius Hines & Son,
Of Baltimore, have for some time
been running an advertisement in our
weekly edition and write us they
have received numerous orders from
this vicinity. If they deal as fairly
with all as they have with us they
are likely to continue to receive them.
To show how they stand at home we
quote the following from the Balti-
more Sunday Herald: 1.-TWO car
loads of Furniture and Carpets to
Southern California; This was
shipment made last week by Julius
Hines IL Son, and it is not the first
time goods have been sent so great
distance by this firm, for they
number their customers in every
State in the Union, Canada, Mexico
and Australia Probably no mail
order house in the world publishes
such comprehensive furniture and
carpet catalogues The growth OF
julius Hines d Son has been phe-
nomenal and their reputation is as
enviable as their methods. Thousands
of testimonials from many different
places attest the satisfaction of their
customers. OF course, no one in
this vicinity, where they are SO fa-
vorably known for half a century, is
surprised at their far reaching enter
prise, but it is nevertheless a sub
ject for congratulation.'

WARDEN OF THE EPISCOPAL HALL
Desires to make the following An
nOuncement in answer to nu-
merOus Questions.

1t is the intention of the present
Warden to leave Morgantown about
June 10th or 18th, and all accounts
against him or the hall are expected
to be handed in before June Sth.
Accounts during the summer session
are not to be considered as against
the hall, but shall be the personal
debts of those temporarily in charge
The Hall is to be continued in the
future as in the past, exclusively a
dormitory for students at the West
Virginia University, and it is to be
under the care Of an Episcopal
clergyman as heretofore as soon as
the Bishop can find one suitable.
Meanwhile the Hall is to be cared
for by two ladies whose names have
already been mentioned in this con
nection. 1t will be open all summer
for students and professors, or any
whom these ladies care to admit.
One year ago on account Of the
financial deficit the Bishop consent
ed to have it opened as a summer
hotel or boarding house, but the de-
felt then was no less than it had
been with students, so such plan
is not likely to be tried again.
Under the auspices of both the To-
cal church and the Episcopal Hall
an arrangement has been made to
bring two of the most eminent
clergymen of the country to Nor
gantown during May. Next Sunday
the Rev. S. D. Mcconnell, DID,, rec
tor of Holy Trinity Church, Brook
Ign, n. Y, will preach both morning
and evening. The Sunday following
the Rev. DR.. Arundel, rector of Old
Trinity, Pittsburg, will preach. The
former is one of the noted scholars
and preachers of the Episcopal
church, the author of different books
and the latter is generallysaregarded
as the best preacher in Pittsburg or
Allegheny. These two men will
take the place of any special lectures
that were expected from the Episco-
pal Hall during last winter, and all
are invited to hear them Free

SOUTH MORGANTOWN
ELECTION.
Thirty-six for and Thirty-six
against the Proposition.

Consequently the streets will not be
Paved by bond issue-rhe Election
was a very warm one and every vote
possible was east The Council will
make lots of improvements they
will establish grade lines and make
Side walks wherever they are needed
the People are in favor Of this and
will endorse the action Of the Council
in doing this much If they were not in
favor of bonds.
The election in South Morgantown
resulted in tie vote but the propo-
sition was defeated by good ma
jority The vote stood 36 to 36.
This was much better showing
than many of the residents of the
town across the creek hoped to make
and they are not feeling very badly
over the matter.

worth OF bonds and pave the prinei

move. They had no side walks and
they were certainly needed before
the pavements were and other inn
provements were loudly calling for
attention before it was necessary to
pave the streets Then too the tax
bugaboo which was hard for some
Of the voters TO get over. All these
circumstance worked together to
defeat the plan. The contest was a
very hot one and the voters were
electioneered to the limit. Every
one that could get to the polls voted
on the proposition.
The council are determined to
have a lot of improvements made
and in this they have the endorse
ment of the large majority of the
residents of the town. They will
establish grade lines and lay side
walks where they are needed and
will fix up the roads as they should
be fixed up to make them answer
the purposes for which they are used
These improvements will begin at
once and when they are done South
Morgantown will be one of the incest
towns anywhere.

Holt Gets Scared.

We are afraid now that the Edito-

in his Argus that ''Bro. Holt of the

that he would attend the Association
accompanied "by his sister and at
least ten of his children" the Enter
tainment Committee has annulled it's

THE BALTIMORE.
fhe Cruiser had the Hardest Part of
the Fighting to do at Manila.

The friends of Buck Lazier have
been greatly interested in the accounts
of the battle of Manila which have
come in as he was in that historic
scrap. The stories about the fight
all agree in one thing and that was
that the Baltimore on which he was
a marine was in the hardest part of
the battle. There has not been any
definite information as to whether or
not he was hurt in the battle but no
news is good news so we can rest sat
isfied that he is all right. At any
rate he can have the satisfaction of
knowing tina the was in the greatest
naval battle that was ever fought.
