Archblshop ireland Leaves for Rome

ST. Paul, Mimi, January lO,-Arch-
bishop Ireland quietly left home Sun
day night for a trip to Rome, having
kept the time OF his departure from
all inquirers, He goes on his regular
visit to the holy see. 1t is customary
for all the archblshops to make such
visit every seven years, and the last
visit OF Archbishop Ireland to Rome
was made in 1892. All matters in
which the particular visiting prelate
may be interested are gone over lhor.
oughly, and In that way this visit will
probably call for the consideration OF
many OF the important questions that
are 10 come up in the United States
during the next few years. Arch

Mr.. CARLOW Here.

Mr.. Marion Garlow's numerous
friends are pleased to see him among
them again. As is known he went 20
Colorado some years ago and invested
heavily in various kinds of property
and it seems will make Trinidad, Col
orado, his home. In IA conversation
with him we learn that he thinks all
that glitters is not gold and we sus-
pect that If he could turn his invest
ments into money he would return to
West Virginia, and we would be
mighty glad to have him. He is
pleased to note our growth here and
says this country is far safer and more
satisfactory to make investments in
than any other with which he is ia
miliar. Mr.. Carlow will remain un-
til the last of the month.

Applicants for Permission to Practice
are Examined-WhO they are.

The bar examination which has
been conducted by the law faculty Of
the University has been concluded
but the result has not yet been an
nounced. The class taking it was an
unusually large one. Several of them
are students in the University while
the rest come from other institutions
outside the state.
Two OF them, L. T.. Sweeney of
Summers County, and Ebenezer H.
Harper of Mcdowell county are color
ed men. They are graduates of How
ard University Washington, d. @.
They were men of more than average
ability and will probably be admitted
to practice. There are at present
very few colored lawyers in the state.
Another of the applicants was G.
W. Smoot of Lincoln County who was
member of the legislature during
the late unpleasantness. The rest Of
the embryo lawyers were S. M. Aus

The Fairmont Glass Works has
changed hands. For some time par
ties from Pennsylvania have been me-
gotiating for the purchase Of the
plant, and we are informed that terms
Of purchase have been agreed upon but
that the sales have not been fully con-
cluded. 1t is understood that it will
be closed within a very few days.
Without knowing anything about it
more than public information, it is
safe to say that the purchasers are
the Glass Trust. 1t is claimed that
the plant here will be kept running
for the reason that glass can be man
ufactured here as cheaply as anywhere.
