The Moundsville Democrats held a
rousing meeting at the Court House in
that town last evening, and unanimous
ly ratified the list of candidates for

committees of independent Republic
n and Democrats, in accordance with

City Clerk-W. S. Powell.
Marshal-William Kimberly.
Council-First ward: B. F. Hodge
man, Jacob Stillwell and R. S: Low;

j. w. Berry. Levi Hood, S. w. Moore

irrespective of politics. The individ-

partisan town governA0nt. That it

SPEAKING OF MN OF WEALTH.

Speaking of a reference in the Regis
ter's dispatches to Col. Thomas B. Davis,
CT Mineral, spoken Of as a possible
Democratic nominee for Governor, and
the enterprises and wealth he repre-
sents in this State, the organ of Four
teenth street could not re3ist the temp
tation to make the following charac-
t~eristic bit of hypocritical comment:
The Intel.gencer takes no stock in the
foolish appeals that are made in campaign
times by certain newspapers against men
who have been sufficiently ShreWd TO
recognize their unusual opportunities to
make their way, to fortune, but it 50 hap
pens that N the paper N which this dis
patch occurs we are constantly confronted
with V:llifications of Republican men of
wealth who have had gust such histories.
Even the Fourteenth street organ
never made a more untruthful state
ment than that-and that is putting it
about as strong as possible.
The Register has never "villified"
o even criticised in the mildest man
ner any Republican on account of his
wealth. 1t has ne yer criticised Mr..
Elkins, whom the organ names in this
connection, on account of his wealth.
The Register has criticised only such
men of millions as, for instance, are at
the head of the Republican party in
the nation to-day, who made their
wealth by virtue of government bounty
from trusts at the expense of the PEG
pie by %corrupting politics and who run
The Republican party to-day chiefly in
the interests of their own personal
schemes and ambitions.
The organ understands this very
marked distinction perfectly well and
that the Register has never had any,
thing but words of encouragement for
those captains of industry, who by
their enterprise in developing the re-
sources of nature have added to the
States and the worlds material
wealth. Of these in this State there
are many; they are men mostly who
have risen from the ranks by their
own industry and merit, having won
success by hard work legitimately and
honestly. They are a credit to West
Virginia and we are proud to rank the
large majority of them in the Demo-
cratic party.
Alger says he conducted the affairs
of his office ito the best of his ability"
No one has ever disputed that.

OVER A NEW ROUTE.
Pawtu1ei Valley Electric Cars Began Running
Through nonancs Street. Yesterday.

'"he new cars of the Pawtuxet Val
ley line to Riverpoint and Natick began
u run on o new route Yesterday, in the
centre Of the ely. on the trip from the
suburban districts the cars come into
Providence via Elmwood avenue, down
Eroad and Weybosset streets, through
DorranCe street. past the CITY Itall,
then through Washington and NaJh-
ewson streets to Broad stree. and then
out on II c return triD down the Paw
tuXet Valley.
These new cars. which are about as
large as those used on the Taunton
route, having the seats arranged in the
same way were well patronized yester-
day. The cars are very comfortable
indeed and are very attractive, and
while there is no smoking compartment
similar TO that on the Taunton line. this
is rather an advantage to the general
public. The cars run through a very
picturesque section of the country.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.


II the talk that has been INDUCED In
by several members of the school COM
mittee assumes some definite shape, and
il looks as if such would be the case, it
is not improbable that there will be
quite shake up among the grammar
school principals Of the city. This does
not indicate that any of the principals
are to be dropped from service, but
they will be changed around, very much
upon the basis of the system adopted
by the police department in changing
the captains from one district to an
other.
Some of the members OF the school
committee are OF the opinion that there
is much to be said i'm favor of the sug-
gested changes, and they argue that
there are at least three reasons why
the placing of the grammar masters in
charge of other schools than those over
which they are now stationed would be
beneficial. In the first place, a man who
remains in such a position for many
years gets into the ruts, and ruts are
not conducive to progress. Secondly, as
the principal has his own way of con-
Quoting his courses, some of the schools
will be up to one standard, while others
will be up To another standard. n
changing of principals would tend To
greater uniformity. for each one. in go
ing to a new place. would be Influenced
by his predecessors. Thirdly, there are
the relations between principal and
teachers, between principal and pupils,
and between principal and the commu-
nity i'm which his school is located To be
considered Success and good scholar
ship depend upon the impartiality OF
the teacher or principal. and perhaps
that impartialty cannot be shown
where there has been long service on
the part of the teacher in that school
While these arguments may not he
deemed sufficiently good by persons
who look upon the sentimental side of
the question of long and faithful ser
vice the fact remains that certain men,
bers of the school committee are of the
opinion that the grammar school sys-
tenn needs more attention than has
been given TO IL in the past, and they
base their arguments on the good re-
suits obtained in Boston by changing
the principals.

CANAVAN TO RETIRE.
Captain Of The Providence Polo Team Will Withdraw
al The End OF The Present Week.

James Canavan, who has so success
fully fulfilled the Offices of captain of
the Providence Gray polo team. is
about TO withdraw. lie will play with
his team against the New Haven team
>in Infantry hall this evening, and will
play for the last time next Saturday
evening. Canavan will be succeeded at
the centre by Mutagh. and Conway
will help fill the vacancy caused by the
withdrawal Of the captain.
Following next Saturdays game
Canavan Will depart for Angoria,
where a very lucrative position in the
mining industry has awaited him for
some time. In fact, he would have left
for the southwest some weeks ago had
he not decided to help out the team
until his vacancy could be filled salts
factorily to the other players on the
team. Canavan will be much missed
by all polo players. Members of op-
posing teams have found him an active
and well nigh invincible adversary. and
they have always admired him for his
energy and pluck. He will be sorely
missed from polo circles, and from
baseball as well. as he has been very
able player on the diamond.

JUDGE COBB'S GIFT.


Through the thoughtful kindness OF
Judge Joseph s. q. Cobb there has been
added to the museum at Roger Will
liams Park a watch case TO which con-
siderable interest attaches. Watch
cases, IL may be said i'm passing, were
very much in vogue at the close or the
last and beginning of the present CEN
tury. They took much the same form as
do the ordinary clock cases OF the pres
ent day. though OF course smaller In
size. Watches in those days were pretty
expensive luxuries and great care was
taken of them This led To the intro
duction OF the watch case.
The case presented TO the park muse
um by Judge Cobb was made by Cap
tain Benjamin Pierce OF Little Comp
ton more than one hundred years ago
and while he was yet a boy. Its con-
struction shows him TO have been a
clever manipulation of such tools as he
could secure and the possessor of much
ingenuity as well. The exterior of the
little door I'm the front of the case shows
"A heart shaped glass through which the
face of n watch hanging inside can be
seen. At first glance IL would seem that
the glass itself is heart-shaped. Such is
not THE case, however for on opening
the little door IL Is found that the glass
is an irregular fragrant resembling "A
trapeZium i'm outline. This fragrant has
been deftly counter-sunk into the wood,
and is held i'm place by wooden pegs,
while the exterior surface of the wood
has been carefully cut away. giving the
effect of heart shaped window. AS one
examines this clever bit of work he
cannot fail to be impressed by the fact
that though unable TO secure many OF
the appliances that are so common at
the present day, the youth or century
ago more than made up sor his lack OF
tools by his perseverance and ingen-
