BETHANY COLLEGE,

The Regular Term Open' Next Monday.
Good Prospects for Large 'EnroIlmsnt.
To the Editor OF the Inteligencer.
SIR:-The term at Bethany opens on
Monday, September 10. The failure Of
the state officers to pay promptly the
second insta2ment OF the loan OF $4,000
negotiated last year may cause tenn
porary embarrassment in the college
treasury, but 1t will not affect unfavor-
ably the instruction in the various de-
partments OF Colege work. All vacan-
cles In the faculty OF instructors have
been iii!ed by the appointment OF teach-
ers emlEently qualified for their special
work Prof Monroe will take charge OF
the work OF the Bible chair. Mrs. Sau-
Der, OF Baltimore, q successful teacher
of English literature and elOcution, WEI
be ut the head Of Phillips hall as lady
principal. Miss RelbeT OF Ohio, VIII
be assistant professor Of music. The
other departments are SIN In charge Of
the instructors who have acccptably
conducted the work in previous years.
The election Of president win proba-
bly, take place at n special meeting OF
the board OF trustees to be held about
October l. The candidate most promi-
nCnfly before the board Is Br. Young, OF
Michigan University.
The prospects for n large enrolment
OF students IL better than for several
years. New students are beginning to
arrive and arc coming from states as
remote as Maine. Connecticut. Iowa
ard North Carolina Should the col
lcgc receive the local support It has the
right to expect, the coming year may be
one OF the most prosperous and success
full In Its history.

HAYS SUCCESSOR

said to he Senator Honr, of MasSnchHSstts.
Its not Csrtalu, However, that he will
Accept.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-It is un-
derstood tina: the President has invited
Senator Hoar. the senior senator from
Massachusetts, to accept the London
mission to succeed Mr.. Hay. While a
definite response has not yet been re-
celved, 1t is gathered that the senator
will probably decline on the ground that
he would be more servicaable to the
country in his present position, while
the delicate health of Mrs. Hoar rem
ders a change OF habit and climate I'M
advisable at her time OF life.
1t was rumored that in the event of
the acceptance of this embassy by SEN
ator Hoar, Secretary Long would be a
candidate for the succession as senator
from Massachusetts,. There is reason
to believe that the secretary has made
no movement in that direction, but is
entirely content with his post.

MoRGANTowN, ". Va. Sept. a.
Cattle Erazlers living in different sec
lions of the county fairly tumbled over
themselves to-day in an attempt to get
into court for the purpose of saving
something of The debts due them from
j. L. Reener, who disappeared a few
days ago with the money he had re-
ceived from the sale of their cattle.
The news did not reach the cattle
grazing section until late yesterday
evening or this morning, and they Inn
ymedlately put out to town as fast ls
their horses could carry them. Many
Of them believe the whole affair was
premeditated by Reener, and tell how
he worked them to take notes in pay
ment for the cattle. From their state
ments the lawyers employed believe q
clear case Of obtaining money and goods
by false pretense can be maintained in
several Instances. and a purse was made
up by the creditors for the purpose OF
employing a detective to apprehend
Keener and bring him before the court
to answer a criminal action.
The chief Of police of Pittsburgh tel
ephones here to-day that Keener had
skipped his balllwlck and that no trace
of him could be found. His wife also
telephoned an inquiry after him, saying
he had left her in Pittsburgh several
days ago with the statement that he
had lost $4,000 on the train between
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
The amount OF his obligations to the
cattlemen is steadily growing, and now
foOts up $4,000.

In a report to the State Department
Consul-General Du Bots, at 81. 1aii,
Switzerland, says n brief examination VI
the exports to the United states from
the consular district of ST. Gall develops
some interesting facts. st. Can Is the
most important cotton-lace and cotton
embroidery centre in the world. Inc CITY
has a population of only 5000, ana d
large majority of them are engaged IN
and dependent upon the work or pro-
ducing cotton laces and cotton emDroloe-
ries of various kinds. During the year
ended December 81, 1897. the importers IN
the United States paid to that community
the handsome sum of S5.50,VOO OF which
amount about 80 per cent. was for cotton
laces and cotton embroideries. ms
demonstrates how important this thriving
Industry is TO Switzerland. Consul-Gene-
raj Du Bots says another interesting 1act
is developed by an examination OF the ex-
norris from the consular district OF ST.
Gall TO the United States-viz., that that
district furnishes our country with about
one-third of the total amount Of goods
sent from Switzerland to the United
States. and the generous influx of Ameri-
can money there is helping to transform
the quaint old town into an active, mo-
dern city, adorned with many handsome
business blocks and some costly and at
tractive villas The total exports TO the
United States from Switzerland for the
month of December last was S1,fl3.426,
while the exports from the district Of St.
Gall alone amounted 10 S659657. or nearly
one-half the total exports.
During the last six months OF 1896 the
total exports to the United States from
st, Gall amounted to s2697, 1871; while In
the six months ending December 81, 1897
the amount was s2,9O795s. Thus, in spite
of the fact that the new tariff of the
United States advanced the duty on cot
ton laces and cotton embroideries from
30 ner cent to 60 per cent, making an
increase OF 10 per cent, the Consul-Gene-
raj says there has been exported TO the
United States from st. Gall during the
first six months of the new tariff law over
500 600 worth more of these goods than
were exported during the last six months
of the preceding year.

AT WORK NIGHT AND DAY.
Making Gums mt the Washington
Gun-Factory.
(WashingtOn STAN

washington Starr
1t may be considered somewhat signifi-
cant that the Washington gun factory Is
working constantly twenty-four hours a
day in the manufacture of large and
small guns for the battleships and the
auxiliary cruisers. 1t is said however
that the desire of the department to get
through with this work as quickly as
possible is due almost entirely to economic
cal reasons. IL has been shown that IL is
cheaper TO maintain the shops al their
full working capacity than to reduce the
forces. Consequently. three gangs or
men are employed IN relays OF eight hours
each and there Is no cessation In the din
and Industry attending the assembling OF
pieces OF ordnance. At present the shops
are engaged In work on guns for auxiliary
cruisers; not on heavy ordnance. Thir-
teen-lnch guns have been turned out
faster than the battleships could use
them and already guns have been as
sembled for the Kearsarge and Ken
lucky, neither Of which can mount them
under six months.
There will soon be upward or one hun
dred guns Of smaller calibre at the gun
factory, all OF which would be sent 10
fast cruisers In event that their services
were required. To provide suitable plans
for mounting the guns the Construction
Bureau has prepared drawings showing
where each gun Is 10 be stationed on

ment's emergency list With the guns AT
