PoRT JERvIs Dec. 23--Thcre Is q place on

village whose name always attracts attention
from the passengers Of tho occasional train stop

toned themselves TO the name of the place, and
never smile when they speak Of IT, Most Of them
In fact. have forgotten that Il is n kind Of Joke
That is what made passenger vcstibuIe
train No angry the other day. Tho vesti-
bule was detained there for a moment, and tho
passenger in question sauntered to tho rear Of
the car and asked hitherto and otherwise polite
and attentive tTainman what place this WAS
"Nobody's," answered the trainman. 'soberiy.
The passenger spoke TO the conductor the next
time that official came through tho train. and then
he went back and handed tho trainman q cigar
and heard how the place had been named. Then
they both laughed. and the passenger made a
note Of the story.
Nobodys Is not regular stopping place for
passenger trains, although II Is stati on OF con-

Letter From Rev. i,r. Leech.

To the Editor of The New Dominion:
/ have been profoundly amazed to
read, in your issue of this date, the
following lines:
THE grades Of the members of the
senior class have been given to them.
The best grades made for the four
years were made by Miss Lucy Wood.
who is the only lady member Of the
senior class. She, however, will not
be able to take the prize offered by
Governor Atkinson for the best all
around student. as the rules prohibit
this being done. They are framed so
that woman cannot take the prize,
although she may have outstripped
her men competitors in the race fer
the distinction.
Are we living in the dark ages or
amidst the intellectual and moral
splendor Of the golden sunset of the
nineteenth century Of the Christian
era? Are we at Morgantown or Hong
Kong? Here is a Morgantown wom-
an,-the solitary representative of
her sex in large senior class, and
one.of its youngest members, -prohib-
tied from taking the magnificent prize
OF ore hundred dollars, because God
made her a woman and not man,
Fighting hand to hand fight with
death for weeks under the weakness
and perils of typhoid fever-surpassing
in scholarship the princeliest young
men of her class, achieving a queen
ly distinction amidst great disadvan-
tages, "a noble young member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, can it
be true that she cannot receive the
prize money she has so fairly and hon
orably won, because she is lady, and
wears skirts instead of trousers? Do
the rules OF the university deal thus
uniustly, with students of the gentler
sex? II SO | will esteem it an honor,
as man, to unite with nineteen 9TH
er men, and present to Miss Wood
purse equal in value to the prize from
which her sex dehars her. Before the
twentieth century dawns let the Re
gents see to it that scholarship, and
not sex, constitutes the sole founda-
ton of literary merit and reward at
the University of West Virginia
With Respect,

II has been found that the judges had
really given the decision in grafton to
Mr.. Smith. The committee appoAt-
ed to cast up the result Of the grafton
made mistake. They should have
made Smith out four points in adj
vance of Barrackman.
Mr.. Eastman made Barrackman ten
points ahead of Smith and Mr.. Nc
Mahon gave Smith fourteen points
advantage. Mr.. Campbell made them
tie although he says he intended to
vote for Smith. This would give
Smith a still further advantage.
The grades were turned over to
Prof. Patterson and a meeting of the
canvassing committee was called for
this morning. The Columbian rep
resentatiye refused 70 attend on the
ground that the decision had been
made and that settled it. However
this will not be allowed to interfere
and the regents will see to it that
the award in this case goes to the
Parthenons. There has already been
a precedent of this kind established.

McHUGH GETS THE WHEEL.
Made The Trip in Thirty.six Minutes
4 Few Words Of Explanation.

A large crowd assembled ON the
street yesterday evening to witness the
start Of the bicycle race which was to
have occurred at half past six o'clock.
Owing to various delays however the
start was not made until seven.
1t was expected that quite a num-
Der of the local wheelmen would enter
the race, but when the time came five
men only were on hand ready to take
the road. These were McHugh of
Uniontown, MeNutt of Fairview,
Laishley, Gamer and Dilinger Of
Morgantown. Before the start it was
decided to give Gamer, Lashley and
Dilinger two minute lead of McHugh
and McNutt in consideration of the
fact that these two men had previous
ly contested in races.
1t was feared that the rain which
was threatening at the time of start
ing would be on the racers before they
could make the run. but il held off.
and in exactly thirtysix minutes after
the start was made McHugh pulled in
on the return trip thus winning the
first prize. He came in also for the
hox of twenty-five cent cigars offered
by Elmer f. Jacobs, being the first to
reach Ross, the turning place.
McNutt was close second, making
the trip in thirty six minutes and
seven seconds. So as was announced,
the second prize was a cut glass set
offered by Mr.. Banister.
T,aiGhl Low was tho third mon m ra-
turn winning the pair of $500 shoes
offered by VIM. Wilmington.
Considering the fact that the road
over which the run was made is billy
and rough in many places, the return
was made in very good time. The
distance ridden was s. clio miles.
Dillinger got puneture before he
had gotten far on the road and had to
drop out.
The first prize was to have been a
new Crescent wheel, but enough
money could not be raised to provide
for this, so second hand Rambler
was given instead.
A few words of explanation are in
place as to why out side men were adj
mitted to the race. 1t was intended
by the manager, Guy Wiley to admit
no one outside the county but when
Saturday evening came it was found
that nearly all the local boys were
going to withdraw for various reasons,
and it began to look as though the
race would have to be declared off.
1t had been widely advertised however
and in order to prevent disappoint-
ment il was decided to ask some out
side men from Uniontown to come up
and enter the contest. This was the
only thing that could be done at SO
late an hour in order to have race at
all,
Other races are talked Of for the
near future and it is hoped that the
wheelmen of the county will take
more interest and make them success
full
