Pleasant Social Events that took
Place Tuesday Night.

Mr.. aud Mrs Reed Entertain Mrs. L.
&. Lazzelle is at Home Miss Olive
Pierce Receives a Number Of Her
Friends Informal Celebration of the
Mystic Time by Number OF onr
Friends
Miss Olive Pierce entertained
number OF her young friends at the
Peabody on Tuesday evening. Music
was furnished by several members OF
the Hartigan orchestra. The affair was
a very pleasant one and the guests
went home regretting that the flying
hours brought the occasion TO a close
as soon as they did.
A party of bright little girls made
a great deal of amusement at num-
Der OF places in town last evening.
They were painted in the most artis-
tic style with burnt cork and dressed
in grotesque costumes, some with red
turbans and other appropriate para
phernalla making typical Topsies of
themselves. Their appearance and
clever acting made many an amusing
scene,
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Lazzelle
was hostess to a Halloween party
The decorations were of autumn
leaves, and ivy, ferns and chrysan-
themums, a beautiful pumpkin
holding the place of honor. In a
game of wits, Mrs. Ellenberger and
Mrs. Rogers won tue prizes. Mrs.
Lazzelle always entertains charm
ingly and never fails to have some
pleasant bit of surprise in waiting
for her guests.
Among the notable Hallow cen
entertainment was that given by
Mrs. j. M Reed to her mountain
party, and few other friends. She
was assisted by Miss Ella Reed and
Mrs. Will Reed The careful fore
thought shown by the hostess in
providing entertainment for all and
having everything appropriate to the
season was skillful The evening
was spent delightfully."-. Everyone
entered into the spirit of the occas-
ion and gave themselves to merry
making. Refreshments were served
at $3.50, fortunes were told and
greatamounto of humorous speculation
given as to the fate of some of the
eligible members of the party. The
most amusing feature was the three
witches in pantomine telling each
ones fortune OH written card. The
closing act was cutting the cake of
fortune which contained key, a
piece Of money, ring, pen, a thin
BILE and button. Each guest cut
slice and the article contained in
the piece indicated the fate OF the
one who got it. The key denoting
good luck was taken by Miss Ger
trude Hayes, the thimble denoting
industry by Mr.. Oscar Campbell,
the button by Miss Allie Bowers,
the pen for fame j. E. Fleming, the
ring indicating matrimony by Mrs.
Poster, the money for riches by
Mrs. Steele Notwithstanding the
inclement evening nearly all the in
citations were accepted and more
pleasant occasion could not have
been provided.

Done In the Law Department Re-
view of the Law Faculty.
G. G. Jansen, of this city, late
sergeant Of Captain A. A. Franzheim's
immunes, who did service In Cuba, is
attending the law department of the
West Virginia University and, In dis
cussing the condition of the institu-
ton, spoke in the highest terms of
the character OF its work says the
Wheeling News. Under the direction
of the present management the school
is extending its scope and improving
its facilities constantly. The law de-
partment, in which Mr. Jansen is
completing his studies, Is particularly
efficient and the course very thorough.
1.-The faculty" said Mr.. Jansen, lis
a very capable one. One OF its menu
bers is Judge Okey Johnson, who is
well known in Wheeling. He is a
graduate of Harvard and praeticed
law for several years. Later he was
Judge OF the supreme court OF appeals
for fifteen years, and enjoyed the rep
utation OF being one OF the finest
criminal lawyers OF the state. He Is
being urged to accept the candidacy
for judge, and II he does the law de-
partment will suffer the loss of one OF
its leading spirits, and the University
one OF its warmest friends.
"Prof. w. p. Wiley, another men,
Der of the faculty, has been practi-
tioner at the bar for many years, and
1t will be remembered, was editor of
the Wheeling Register for ten years.
He lectures on equity Jurisprudence
and commercial law and is said to be
one of the shrewdest cross-examiners
in West Virginia.

al works, one of them being sNotes
on Common Law Pleading and Prac-
tice." The work is designed as an
aid 10 the students of law in the Uni
yersity. The student Of law in the
University Is thus in the hands OF an
able corps Of illustrators, and the same
statement applies to all other depart
ments, which are in an equally -four
ishing condition"
Mr. Jansen, in making compari-
SON between the colleges of the Uni
ted States and Europe, said the for
mer were fully equal TO the latter.
Their requirements are just as high,
and the ordinary student has greater
advantages in this country for taking
collegiate courses. The financial con-
siderations here are lighter, and the
student is generally better able to
avail himself of the college instruc-
tion. La European schools the col
leges are largely private corporations,
and this fact in itself prevents tut
tion fees being moderate as those
that prevail in American schools.
The poorer classes In Europe send
their children to the municipal
schools.

TWO DAYLIGHT RoBBERIEs
Silverware Carried Off From a Pri.
vate Car--Money Stolen

Two robberies of unusual bOldness
occurred in this city yesterday after
noon, when a private car was entered
and house ransacked.
The car robbed was that of SuperIn-
tendent William N. Barnard, of the p,
w. & B. railroad, which was standing
under the train shed at Front and Pop
lar streets. Although several work
men were engaged in ballasting the
tracks a short distance away, an un-
known man cut out pane of glass and
entering the car, stole a large silver
pitcher and tray and a silver caster.
He carried them out of the car by the
door and walked unconcernedly up
Poplar street without any attempt to
conceal his booty. The thief is de-
scribed as being a young man wearing
a brown suit and brown derby hat.
During the absence Of Samuel Black
a colored porter at the French street
station, who was attending the funeral
of Samuel Spencer yesterday afternoon,
an unknown thief entered his home,
7O1 Wilson street, and stole $40 from
his pantalOon's pocket. Neither of the
thieves has been captured.

RUMOR THAT He
WAS FORCED OUT
Frank T. Schilling Unwillingly
Sewers His Connection With
Firm Bearing His Name
TRANSFERS STOCK TO FORD
Gossip Asserts That He was De.
eeived When Told That Elmer P
Doughsrty Had Done Likewise.

Frank T. Schilling is no longer con-
nected with the Schilling Dry Goods
Company. Rumor, from a reliable
cource, has it that he was forced out.
About three weeks ago Mr.. Schilling
assigned his one-third interest in the
concern to Peter ]. Ford under the i'm
preston that Elmer p. DOugherty, who
also had a third interest, had done the
same. Again, rumor doubts that Mr..
Dougherty made such a transfer.
On April II last, the Schilling Dry
Goods Company opened for business,
and, from all accounts, has been sue
cessful. Peter ]. Ford Elmer P. Dough
erty, his nephew by marriage, and
Frank T. Schilling composed the firm.
Prior to this Mr.. Schilling was head
clerk at LippincOtt's. 1t has been
stated that he put no money in the
Schilling Dry Goods Company, and
brought none out.
When seen by an Evening Journal
reporter to-day MIR. Schilling declined
to make a statement beyond saying
that he severed his connection with the
firm rather against his own inclina-
ton. Gossip asserts that internal dis
sensions Obliged him to transfer his
share of stock to Mr.. Ford. 1t is stated
that Mr. Schilling will probably start
in business in this city.
Peter J. Ford is secretary and treas
urer of the company, and Christopher
j. O'Keefe, another nephew by mar
riage, is president.

OF the Samples Of Milk Ana
lyzed by DR.. Frank ROOp
Smith,
MILK SPECIMENS EXAMINED
No Unusual Traces of Water Found
in Any-It is Considered Impos-
sible for Mix to Have Caused the
Present Typhoid Infection.

MIX Inspector McEvilly to-day sc-
ceived the report OF the Analysis OF
nine samples OF milk submitted by him
for examination to Dr. Frank Roep
Smish.
IN his report DR.. Smith states iba.
he found no traces OF water having
b cen added TO any of the samples, and
mat it is uttefly impossible for the
number OF typhoii fever cases that OK
ist in one locality to be caused ly
milk served frOia nine diffsreat deal
ers, all Of whom reside in different ly-
calitias
The following is DR.. Smiths rep9rr
OF the nine samples analyzel
lt is impossible that the typhoid ba-
cillus could have been in the milk
when it came from the COWS, and to
have been present when it was sold, IL
would need to have been introduced In
the water used to wash the cans or dl-
lutte the milk, or hNm flies. soiled
hands Of che milkman or some such
means.
The result OF the analysis did not
prove that water had been added. al
though some samples were a little thin
for natures production and one or two
may have been skinned.
Since no water was added to the milk
and It was sold as 10 came from the
cows. the possibility OF similar milk
having been the cause OF the Infection
Is extremely slight, and for such a
numher Of cases OF typhoid 10 have
been caused In one locality, by milk
from nine different dealers from as
many different sections. is impossible.
All the samples OF the milk were
free from dirt and sediment. and a mi
croscopical examination showed moth
ing which would Indicate the presence
Of excIementitious matter
No attempt TO find the germ OF ty-
phoid fever by meteorological meth
DDS was made, as such attempts par
take of the nature Of the search for n
needle in a haystaslk. and absolutely
definite results are probably never OBJ
tanned.
One manner OF the local spreading o.
the disease in which milk would take a
part and yet TIE dealer be fnnocent
and which may have occesioned this
local epidemic, is as follows:
One case Of typhoid existing. the
stool Is left in an uncovered vessel sif.
ting ON the back porch or in the yard.
With some careless families, this is
occasionally done, especially in the
night.
In the early morning many aies are
attracted and after crawling over and
through the same to their contentment
are, Ia an hour or so afterwards. to be-
found floundering in the milk in the
pitcher on other uncovered vessel left
out by the neighbors to receive The
milk from the dairyman.
In this manner thousands OF gorms
may be transplanted and communities
infected. Respectfully yours,
FRANK ROOP SMITH.
