Why the great clamOr for man pfincl-

agree with him that it has been charg-
ed that the Wheeling schools have
been inferior to the public schools just
across the river. He thought the idea
of employing home talent had gone SO
far that in some instances home talent
means no talent The commissioners
desired to get the best person for the
money and for the position, and hat
selected a woman who came highly

every respect, who was ambitious ana

DINING WITH ROYALTY.

The accompanying illustration Is a
facsimile Of a little card OF invitation
for which some of the most highborn
ladies of our land would shed a good
deal of their blue blood. The social AL
exander who receives one OF these invi-
tations has nothing left but to sit down
and sigh for new worlds to conquer.
For it must be remembered that an In
yitation to dine with their royal high
nesses is the greatest social distinction
with which mortal man or woman can
be honored. A command" TO dine
with Queen Victoria herself Is, or
course, a greater distinction, but 1t Is
one never extended for mere social rea-
sons.
The number Of guests who dine at
Marlborough House with their royal
highnegses during the season is far
greater than is usually supposed, a
great number OF quite undesirable per-
sons being included in the invitation
lists through purely political and dip.

NORTH END RESIDENTS

Are Bitterly Opposed to the Proposed New
| Work House To 30 situated on the Old
Water Works Site.
The residents living on North Main
street in the vicinity of Eighth street,
are very much opposed to the idea of
having a new workhouse built on the
site of the old water works, as set
forth in Mayor Sweeney's message to
Council. The consideration of a new
prison in which to confine city prison
ers comes up regularly every spring,
and up to the present time nothing has
ever come of it. This time plans are
proposed to change the location of the
workhouse and in so doing place the
new building almost in the midst of
one OF the finest resident portions in
the city.
AS a result the residents near the
proposed location are up in arms. AL
though the matter has not as yet been
taken up by Council, nevertheless the
mere fact that such a step is even an
ticipated, is disQuieting.
A Register reporter interviewed a
score or more residents of that sec
| ton yesterday, and in every instance
the sentiment was against the idea of
utilizing the old water works property
for anything of the kind. The objec-
tions stated were quite a few. One
gentleman claimed that should the
plan be carried out it would have the
effect to depreciate the value OF the
property in that vicinity.
There was some talk of petition.
Should one be circulated the names
would not be lacking. Another objec-
ton is that the residents would be
subjected to scenes that are anything
but elevating. The workhouse being a
place that is habituated by all the
toughest characters in town would
keep the neighborhood filed half the
| time with men of questionable char
acters. There are also other minor
| objections too numerous to be men
| toned Several have expressed their
| intention to remove to the country if
/ the proposed plan is carried out. In
| the near vicinity of the old water
works reside a number of Wheeling S
| richest and most influential citizens,
and enough influence could be brought
to bear upon the matter should it be-
come necessary. In case there is a new
workhouse it will hardly rest upon
the proposed site.
