4 Good Suggestiem

1--WE have a new council, said a
gentleman to day, ''and we have a
great many new people in Morgan
town, and we have virtually new
town, different from What it has
been, and we need to have new
deal ia many directions
zone suggestion" said he, "that
l would like to make to the new
council, is to pass an ordinance at
once, prohibiting any public hall,
church, or other like building from
admitting the public on any occa-
sion without being under the direct
supervision of some intelligent and
responsible person, while il il is oc
cupied "
"My reason for this said he, is
two.fold-the safety Of the audience,
and the public health. | consider it
an outrage on the public, for in
stance, to be invited into public
hall and nobody have any response
biity for keeping the room suffi-
GENTLY ventilated. Why. Wednesday
night, he continued, "a thousand
people were shut up in Commence
ment Hall, without ventilation, and
the lecture was spoiled, tha aaaience
was suffocated to the point Of col
lapse, and everybody made uncom-
Portable, if not sick and mad with
the experience, while there seemed
to be no body in charge or With au-
thority or responsibility for letting
in air enough to preserve the ives Of
the audience. That thing is done
every day in this town, until people
are disguised and disinclined 10 go
to any public entertainment and
they ought to refuse to 60 to any
public hall second time when they
are treated in such manner. Both
the public health, the public com
fort and safety demand that an ordi-
nance be passed requiring that
somebody shall be in charge of
public hall when occupied, and be
personally responsible for it's health

the audience while in it,

bow. The little patient is doing as
well as could be expected.
His Honor, Judge J. NJ. Hagans,
is holding Court at Morgantown and
is said to be looking well. We are
glad to hear this, and it will be most
gratifying news to all our readers.
Judge Hag4ns was 80 very i'll a few

ed to see him on the bench again.
He looks now, we are told, like he
would be useful among us for many
years to come. So mote it be.
MIR. Dayton's bill providing for
two Federal districts in this State is
meeting with vigorous opposition.
Protests against it are going to
Washington from all directions. The
State Bar Association approved
it at its late meeting in Morgantown.
yet this, it seems, did not represent
the feeling of the lawyers through
out the State. One hundred and
sixty of these have signed petitions
and sent them to Congress, asking it
not to pass the bill, and no doubt
many others will be heard from. The
bar of this county is almost unani-
mously opposed to it. AS Judge
jackson is perfectly willing to still
do the business of the State, it looks
like this should strangle the meas
ure. 1t is wholly unnecessary and
SHOULD not have been thought of.

Ohio's new plan for county board
Of marriages seems chimerical enough
to have come from Kansas. And yet
1t is based on the soundest OF princi-
pies, and will fail Of adoption none
the less certainly on that account.
Representative Parker proposes to
refuse marriage licenses whenever
either party to the proposed contract
suffers from dipsomania, kleptomania,
insanity. blood diseases or tubercu-
losis. Each county is to have a board
Of three physicians, whose decisions
must be final.
Mr.. Parker of Ohio might go furth-
err without posterity fariDg any worse.
The board Of marriages might be
authorized TO refuse license to men
who fail to pay their bills and to
women who scold. 1t might be a
good thing to require proof that the
applicant had earued ia the last year
enough money to live on, and had
saved out Of it at least the price of a
cook stove.
Keeping in view the experience Of
Representative Grifiith. Mr. parker's
fellow assembIyman, the board Of
marriages should refuse license in
cases where it appeared the woman
might go to the legislature ON her
husbands certificate OF election.
And in cases where the man appeared
likely to disregard NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
jugal or poiitical-license should GER
tainly be refused.
The scheme broadens as one views
it. But Mr.. Parker's plan has a fatal
defect 1t does not require that the
board Of marriages be composed of
married men. Fancy rejected suit
or sitting on that board, able to pun
ish his charmer with single blessed
ness forever, aud to wreck his VEN
geance on rivals with more than
Nero's cruelty.
Let the boards be Of married men,
Mr. Parker-if there be three in each
county who can pass the examination.

MUSTARD POISONED.
Ed Naret has Narrow Escape from
Death-AnOther case Here In town.

Deatn-AnOtnef case mere In tOWns
A letter from Ed Naret who is at
present in Brownsville, Pa, gives
the particulars of narrow escape
from death that he has recently had.
He was poisoned from eating mustard
and the doctors who were summoned
to his aid thought at first that he
was sure to die. However they were
able to save his life by hard work.
The case is rare one but another
has recently occurred here in Nor
gantown. A young man who is fond
of mustard ate lot recently and
was poisoned by it but not seriously.
The prepared mustard is the kind
that does the work.
