CHIEF OF POLICE CLEMANS, MAY
OR. SWEENEY AND COUNCILMAN
CHEW WE'RE IN THE PARTY-IT
IS ASSERTED THAT REFORM
WITH A BIG "R" IS TO BE THE
WATCHWORD IN WHEELING.
Yesterday Mayor Sweeney and Chief
of Police William NJ Clemans, accom-
panied by Councilman NJ. A. Chew,
went up to Pittsburg on visit to the
police officials of that city, the object
being, as the Register is informed from
Pittsburg, to secure information as to
the best method of regulating certain
forms of vice and law-breaking in this
city.
The topics particularly under inves-
tigation appear to have been
gambling, the regulation of Sun
day selling by saloonists, the
suppression of those places which make
a speciality of catering to women of the
town and their male admirers. and
generally the social evil A Pittsburg
special says:
On arriving at Pittsburg the Wheel
ing officers first had an interview with
Assistant Superintendent Of Police Al.
Caulson, with whom most of the after
noon was spent. The subjects outlined
above were thoroughly discussed, and
the benefits of the experience and adj
vice of the Pittsburg officer were Sc
curd One method Mr.. Caulson sug-
gested to break up the resorts for wo-
men at certain places where liquor is
sold was to station an officer in front
of each place, to warn away those seek
ing to enter, and then to make raids if
the advice given was not followed
The Wheeling gentlemen next sought
Superintendent of Police O'Mara, looked
over some of his reports, and made a
large number of enquiries as to the
regulation of Sunday selling, the early
closing hours observed on ordinary
nights, etc. The question of how the
women of the town could be most eff
fectually handled and controlled was
also a matter for discussion with the
superintendent, and the suggestion that
all such people should be concentrated
in one district of the city, where they
could be better handlsa BY the police,
appears to have received favorable con-
sideration.
Detective Richard Kelley, formerly
inspector of the third Pittsburg police
district, was also interviewed, and his
observations and suggestions were care
fully noted by the visitors.
1t is the information of the Register
that the Wheeling officials announced
that everything had gone" in Wheel
ing up to the present time and that the
town was wide open," but that there
was to be a most effective and decided
change in this regard, to be brought
about as speedily as possible. This will
be interesting news to large number
of people.
1t will be recalled that last Monday
just a week ago-a circular letter of
warning was sent out to liquor sellers
in this city, and that the Registers
observations showed that no attention
was paid to it, and no one appeared
to be at all worried by the caution. 1t
may be that something more definite
in the way of official action will shortly
result, growing out of yesterdays visit
to our sister city further up the valley
and developments will be awaited with
some considerable concern.

Charles Frohman will present "The
Little Minister" the comedy success of
the century, at Opera House, Friday,
March Sd. This is the play which has
made such a marvellous impression on
the theatre-going public, not only at
tracing people in crowds to the houses
in which it has been presented, but
making them feel that there is more
heart and sentiment in its scenes and
lines than in anything in the play line
that it ever saw before. The Little
Minister" is a comedy written by Mr..
j. NJ. Barrie and founded on his own
popular novel of the same name. The
love story of Lady Babbie and the
quantity humorous characters OF the
village Of Thrums-the twin charms OF
the book-are delightfully."- represented
in the play which exhales the same ex-
quisite heartwinning atmosphere that
pervades Mr.. Barrie's pages. 1t is a
beautiful play in every way. and
Charles Frohmans name in connection
with the production is a guarantee that
it Is all that theatre-goers could desire.

Here, was $780, ZOO. Payments were
made with more OF less regularity On
principal down to 1888, when the
amount outstanding was stated III the
published statements OF the city's ac-
counts at $4,000. In 1889 and 1890 it
was the same, but in 1881 the amount
outstanding jumped to $4,000 for
a reason generally understood. In
1892 there was further increase to
$4,000, in 1893 this was reduced to
$4,000, and it has since stood at that
figure. In other words, for six years
no payments have been made on ac-
count of principal of this loan Why?
Because the city didn't have to pay I'M
til the loan was due, and instead of
continuing the 0ld-time policy of re-
ducing this item of Indebtedness, with
other bond issues. it was allowed to
continue at $4,000 and to draw in
terest at that amount, and now it con-
fronts us in a lump sum, and the day
OF reckoning having come, we are I'M
able to pay, and this debt must be re-
funded, to draw interest for ten years
more before any payments can be made
upon principal! This well illustrates
the method of conducting city business,
by both political parties, and shows
what would result with a new ten
thirty-four loan with a sinking fund
attachment, as is advocated in some
quarters. 1t is said oh, we'll Issue
the bonds under the ten-thirty- four
law, and then go into the market and
buy some of them every year during
the first tent Will they, when uney
have allowed the compromise loan to
run along, simply because Of a lack of
economy? Depend upon it, not one
city bond would be taken up inside of
the ten years, under the proposed new
loan.
Another argument is, that We will
save money by refunding the bonds.
Will We? Let us see. This year the
bond statement, principal and interest,
stands as follows:

WHEELING CREEK AGAIN.
The Local Board of Health After tn,
Polluters of the Stream.

The condition of Wheeling creek, in
the vicinity of Fulton, has again de-
manded attention from the people liv-
ing in the vicinity of the stream east
of the city, and a number of complaints
have lately been filed with the local
Board of Health.
That body met yesterday afternoon
at the Court House, with Prosecuting
Attorney Meyer, and the situation was
thoroughly discussed. 1t appears the
local Board cannot interfere in towns
where there is a health officer, and as
both Wheeling and Fulton are thus
equipped, it was decided to refer the
case to Drs. Jepson and Henderson. If
this does not bring relief, the local
Board announces it will appeal to the
State Board.

The first labor day demonstration
and picnic given by the Belmont Gen.

at Martins Ferry yesterday.
Nothing like it for size and success
was ever witnessed in the town before.
A fair sized demonstration was expect
ed, but the turnout was a surprise be-
yond measure even to those who were
in charge 1t seemed as though every
business man and citizen in the town
turned out to help the thing along.

in the early part of the day, turned out
to be everything that could be wanted.

The merchants were out early decor
ating their places of business, which
gave them very much Fourth of July
appearance. Flags and bunting were
used in profusion throughout the bust
ness part of the town. The parade was
a corker, and would have been a much
larger one had the coal miners from out
the c., L. & w. arrived to take part, as
was intended. Many of the mill en-
ployes did not turn out either. 1t was
a success beyond expectation, however,
and speaks well for the business men
of the town. 1t did not start until II
o'clock, when it moved off up Fifth

GOD IN LAW.
An Eloquent Address by Rev. Dr.
McCish.

AT the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation hall yesterday afternoon, Rev.
Dr. Eli McClish delivered an interesting
address on the province of Christianity
in life. He treated of mans duty in
the light of Gods law. illustrating the
theme by many striking comparisons.
"All natural laws he said ARE the
mold of Gods constant activity. Under
the pure deistic theory there is no
efficacy in prayer; we are part of ma
ture, only cogs in the wheels of the
universe. Then there comes a similar
belief, with the modification that God
is said to interfere at times. Now I
believe that God is imminent in nature,
being on the throne all the time Nat
ural law is the glove, if you please;
God the hand; you don't see the hand
but it is there all the time just the
same
Then what is Gods purpose? Is it
that we get rich or become famous
No, far from it. Christ's life shows the
purpose. and every good man, every
Christian man must conform to that
image. Why, if it were announced to-
morrow that God was dead, and if the
universe should continue to run as He
arranged it, 1 tell you wrong would be
punished, and there would be no profit
in wickedness. Bad living--drunken-
ness, lust, deceit-all these would bring
burning pain along all the nerves
There is no Gospel train to heaven. No
man gets into the kingdom unless he
has in him the qualities of the king
