Graf eful Ncwsnnncr Men.

The Wheeling Park Association could
not have selected more suspicious day
than yesterday was for its annual en-
tertalnment OF the members OF the
press. No more grateful individuals
ever enjoyed the boon Of a temporary
relief from the tropical temperature OF
the city in the refreshing and cooling
breezes and shades of beautiful re-
sort, with better sense OF apprecla-
ton Of the hospitality and benencence
that inspired the public spirited man
ayers OF the park, than did these
workers.
1t is characteristic OF the park man
ayers to leave nothing undone to make
complete the pleasures OF guests on
such an occasion. as the newspaper
men OF Wheeling can testify from their
experiences at these annual entertain
ments for years past. Yesterday was
no exception to the rule. and Colonel
Rolf and his associates. comprising the
officers and others connected with the
association, not forgetting that prince
Of caterers. Ernest Kreiger. deserve the
blessings that were showered upon
them.
The park was never better attIred
than 1t was yesterday. nor more invit-
ing. 1t more than vindIcated Its we'll
deserved reputation as place of beau-
ty and Joy forever. and which the
Wheeling public so well appreciates.
The increased and pleasanter facilities
for going and coming are more than
compromising the enterprising man.
ayers of both the park and the Elm
Grove road, for the accessibility Is so
much greater and more convenient as
to bring the city folks into closer touch
with the resort 1t is not so much the
distance that lends enchantment as 1t
Is the Improvement OF the means of
getting there.

An Important Address.

An important and Instructive address
was delivered before the Union League
Club Of Chicago last night by Hon John
Barrett, late United States minister to
Siam. who recently returned. Mr.. Bar
rett. conservatively and from his own
personal knowledge and observation,
discusses the Philippine situation and
describes the conditions OF the people,
their capabilities. and the possibilities
of an easy solution of the problem OF
their government, when they are dis
abused OF the receptions that have been
practiced upon them by ambitious lead
ers. Various other phases of the condi-
tons which exist at present are touched
upon.
The address takes broad and liberal
grounds. and. coming from n late Off
cIai Of this government who is at lib
erty to speak. and who has been In
touch with all that has occurred. is OF
no small interest and value ut this time.
Mr.. Barrett clearly shows that the
United States has assumed n mighty
and unavoidable responsibility, not
only TO itself and the natives. but to the
world. in occupying the islands. I'VE
could not" he declares, return them to
Spain. sell them to another power, or
yield them 10 native rule without shak-
Ing such responsibility, and taking n
backward step unworthy OF the Ma
ton"

CHARLEY STROBEL GLAD

That Wheeling has Succeeded
Springfield in the League.
Il am heartily glad that Springfield
is out of the league" says President
Charley Strobel. Of the Toledo club.
she has always been 4 dead one and
has materially impeded us ever since
she became a member. Wheeling. on
the other hand, is 4 great addition to
us, having a live little place Of over,
10000 inhabitants and having excellent
facilities for the support OF good ball
team. An additional advantage III the
new order OF things is the fact that Sun
day games can be pulled off in Wheel
ing. As matters now stand, We have
FIVE cities in the circuit where Sunday
base ball can be played, namely. Toledo.
Wheeling, Dayton. Fort Wayne and
Grand Rapids. ---.-s
Last season there was considerable
complaint. from the faps:sat Youngs
town and Fort Wayne owing to the fact
tina. the grounds in those Giles were
somewhat difficult of access. This year
the difficulties will be obviated in the
case OF both cities. AT Youngstown
new grounds are being built within
seven minutes walk from the heart of
the city, and at Fort Wayne the grounds
have been transferred 10 what are
known us the "Jail Flats" located In
one of the most central portions OF the
place. Extensive Improvements are
also being made in the grounds in other
places.
Our mldwinter meeting at New Cas-
tile, Pa. on February II. was we'll at
tended and a success from every point
of view. interests seemed TO be work
ing very harmohlously. 1t was decided
10 play 14O games the coming season.,
and committee was appointed to ar.
range n schedule of games. Of which
committee am a member l am also
member of the committee on rules and
bylaws, and have been appointed a,
committee OF one to look out for the
railroad interests Of the league.
I'm regard to the home team I will
say that we intend to get right in the
game and remain there till the end of
the season. The personnel of the To-
.lcdo team is about complete and the
men signed are the best that time and
money could secure. | think l can
promise patrons OF the game in this
city a iirst-class nine and probable
remnant at the end of the season.
