as an honest and industrious man, gen

relied upon. All that loving hearts and
medical skill could suggest was done but
of no avail. His homo life was one of

noticeable. The great storm kept host

Isl Saecfss in Every Respect Men

Have tharge- Music, Decorations
and Refreshments are Elegant.
The Commencement Bali held at
the Wallace House Thursday night
was one OF the greatest social events
that has ever taken place in Nor
gaiitnwn There was very large
crowd OF visitors and the society
people OF the state were very wei
represented.
People were here from every large
town in the state and the fact that
the dance was not held in the Uni
" rsits buildings did not detract in
the least from the pleasure Of the at
fair.
The reception began at eight thir
" and the dancing began short
time later. The intermission took
place at midnight and the dance was
then resumed and kept up until far
into the morning. Twenty numbers
were on the program and each one
OF these was highly enjoyed.
Had the evening been cooler the
occasion would have been more de-
lightful but even this factor was not
allowed to interfere with the enjoy
ment Of the people present.
The ball room was an animated
scene while the dancing was going
on The decorations were the Uni
versity and corps colors together
with a profusion OF National Colors.
They reflected much credit on those
having the matter of decoration in
charge
The music was delightful and was
furnished by the Hartigan orchestra
which is admittedly the finest must
cal organization of the city. 1t is in
great den md and never did better
than it die last night.
The military men who attended
the bali We in uniform and their
gay attire ded much e sle brill

The dance was In Charge of the
cadet officers and they have shown
that they know exactly how to con
duet an affair OF this kind. John Lantz
Of the Wallace House left no oppor
tunity pass to make his guests en-
joy themselves as much as possible
and he succeeded admirably.
The dance was such a great sue
cess that it win be made an annual
feature of Commencement week.

McHUGH GETS THE WHEEL.
Made The Trip in Ihirty-six Minutes
4 Few Words of Examination.

y
A large crowd assembled on the
street Tuesday 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, McNutt OF Fairview,
Laishley, GaiDer and Dilinger of
Morgantown. Before the start it was
decided to give Gamer, Lashley and
Dilinger a two minute lead of McHugh
and McNutt III 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 1t held off,
and in exactly thirty-six minutes after
the start was made McHugh pulled in
on the return trip thus winning the
uiSb ptiLc. iit tdiht III diso loi but
box of twenty-five cent cigars offered
by Elmer f. Jacobs, being the first to
reach Ross's, the turning place.
McNutt was a 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.

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. 6l0 miles.
Dillinger got a puncture 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 a second hand Rambler
was given instead.
A few words of explanation are in
place as to why out side men were ad-
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.

The Only War Hero.

The Wheeling News has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to politics
which is of interest here:
The war here doesn't appear to be
cutting much of a figure in West Vir-
ginia politics, so far, outside of Col
onel Clarence L. Smith, of Fairmont,
who has been frequently mentioned as
available timber for the democratic
nomination for governor. Although
no West Virginia regiment got int
the field of war in the conflict with
Spain, the two that were raised were
ready to go and their officers and mem
bers may be classed as men of war.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 25.-The

cal Survey continues in West Vir-
ginia, Notwithstanding the failure
OF the plan tor co operation with the
State survey and the total discon
tinuance OF the latter on account of
the refusal of the last State Legisla-

for to carry on the work. In 1898
the United States Survey establish.

counties, that work already having
been done in twelve counties pre-
viously. These meridians are mark
ed by stone monuments. set up at
the county seats, to which are al
fixed metal tablets with the APP

these monuments was $l505 in ali,
of which West Virginia contributed
$500. the remainder being paid by
the Federal Government.

arranged for the CO operation of the
United States survey in the prep
aration of complete topographic
map of the State to be completed in
twelve years. This would have cost
a considerable sum, as the expenses
of the United States survey alone
would have been $4,000 year, in
addition to the cost of maintaining
the State survey. which was estima
ted at 5000 more. but the value
of suca survey would have been
immensely more than its cost said
one Of the topographers of the Uni
ted States survey. Il think West
Virginia has taken backward step
in abolishing its State survey 1t.
is supposed by some that the United
States survey does all that State
survey can do, but this is not true
The United States furnishes the
base map and supplies general in
formation about the resources of the
State, hut it does not advertise par
ticular properties nor go into the
smaller details of local topography
and mineral and other advantages,
all Of which furnishes AN ample field
for the work of the State gcologist.
West Virginia has suffered much
delay in development OF her resource
es through failure to advertise them.
This is something that the State
survey can do. For example, Penn
sylyania has spent IA million dollars
in surveys and is spending thou
sands more Maryland has also en-
tered upon the work OF making
known her mineral and other re
sources to the world II the Vir-

GOOD THING.
Department Of Elocution has done a
Great Deal for the Students.

Among the departments of the
University recently established the
department of elocution is becoming
of great service to the student body.
Formerly the lack of department
OF this kind was very keenly felt and
the students were at a great disad
vantage in their contests.
The good that the training has
done the men and women who have
taken it may be seen from the fact
that the winners in all Of the recent
contests have been trained by Prof.
Patterson. On Wednesday night
the two men who won were trained
by him while the others had not had
this drill.
The University has much to con.
graduate herself upon and in no di-
rection has greater good been done
for the boys and girls who come here
to be educaled than in the direction
OF evolutionary training.
