The ten subcommittee in charge
of the Dewey celebration are com
pleting rapidly the arrangements
marked out. The chairman of the
Committees are now in session in
Washington, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the Dewey celebration will
probably be the greatest popular
demonstration ever accorded to an
American Navy officer. A monster
parade, in which all the organized
bodies and societies of the District
of Columbia, military. civic, and fra
ternal are to participate, is one OF
the features. Dewey Night will find
the capital in one gigantic flood OF
illumination and fireworks.

THE ARMY.
Ii VIII Be Biz Thing Whea Regi-
ments are Complete.

The United States army is rapid
~ reaching the limit of loo, 600 men
fixed by the recent act.
When the ten additional regi-
meats called for by Secretary Root
shall have been recruited the army
will number $4,000, leaving mar
gin of only 5000 for possible emer
gencies in the Philippines.
The army act by the last Con
gress provided for $4,000 regulars
and 5000 volunteers when needed.
The regular army is fall, and
twenty-three volunteer regiments
have been raised.
About $4,000 men have been re
cruited for the 10 regiments author
lied under the order of July 5, 1899.
The excess of about 1000 will be
used in filling out the three regi-
ments of volunteers being raised in
the Philippines from volunteers
whose time has expired. 1t will
take fully 1000 TO complete these
regiments, Gen. Otis last Spring
Stated officially that 10000 men
would be an ample force for the con
quest of the Philippine Islands. but
subsequent events have shown that
Gen Otis had very small coneep-
ton of the problem he was consid
eriug. The war department intends
to provide fighting force of 63. 600
men 10 the Philippines, or more than
twice as many as Gen. Otis said a
few months ago would he necessary.
Secretary Root expects that his
10 new regiments will be ready by
Dec. l, and that he may get seven
of them to Manila by that time.
Then if $4,000 men seem to be
enough for the work there, the other
$4,000 will be held in reserve to take
the places of disabled soldiers in
the Philippines as they may be need
ed. The remaining $4,000 troops
will be used to garrison Cuba and
Porto Rico and to occupy the var
ious military posts in the United
States.
An army of $4,000 is big thing
in comparison with the army of 25,-
600 which we had fer so many years
before us started out to expand and
imperialize, but we shall not be sur
prised to see Congress, early in the
next session, authorized the still
further enlarging of the military es
Establishment.

FROM RANDALL.
ID. W. Makes Some Remarks about
Matters and Things.

RANDALL. Sept l9.-Married at the
home OF her parents on Sept 10th bv
Rev. Bumgardne-, Miss Bertha Dusen-
berry to Jesse Bircher.
AS Jess is both honest ann industrious
two very rare Virtues to be found at the
present day, and Bertha is sprightly and
economical, predict bright future for
the youthful couple.
10 the last issue oil the New Dow MON
Mr.. Sturgiss saws in answering the
charges of extravaganza by the regents
OF the University. The trip 10 the
West by President Raymond was order
ed by the regents, and the tax payers
will lose nothing by it," Now Mr..
Stureiss how much did that pleasure
jaunt cost, and where will the state be
benefited by it2 And also toe people
want to know how they are to be bene
flied by that 5000 Organ that is being
built, and the Tax payers also want to
know where the benefit comes in, for
the University TO teach few young
fellows to play the fiddle free OF cost to
them. But all this extravaganza will be
brought 20 light next summer. DR..
Raymond did one good thing on his
trip to Mexico, and for this | gladly con
tribute my mite to the expense OF the
same. In letter describing his trip
published in the New DOMINION he
says. "The money OF Mexico was sill
yer to great extent. Things are as
cheap there as they are in the United
States and the Silver Standard works
we'll there"
II the Silver Standard works we'll in
Mexico why would not the double stand
ard work much better in the United
States? This statement made by so
eminent an authority as DIR. Raymond
and he being republican is a solid
answer to ali the canards published aud
uttered by the republicans during the
last three years.
As this is not a political year | will
say no more on this subjuct but would
request the Editor Of the New DOMINION
and all its readers to post DR.. Raymond's
remarks in their hats to be used as
Democratic thuoder next year
propose the name OF Col. Clarence
Smith as the next democratic candi-
date for governor. l heard a soldier
that was under Col. Smith say that
"If the Colonel was candidate for
Office next year that every soldier that
was in the regiment would vote for
him." This was the highest compli
ment the Colonel could receive.

GREAT PREPARATION
Are in Progress for October roth
II is Now Question Of Money and how
to Take Care Of the Vast Throng that
Will be Here-A Visit to Cnientown
Shows that Many Hundreds are COM
ing fror that sectioH-It is Suggest
ed that numerous Booths Should be
Imprnyised as Eating Places.

There now seems to be nothing in
the way to prevent making great
success OF the celebration Of Chad
wick day on October 10th. The
sword to be presented Captain Chad
wick has been bought and enough
money raised to pay for it. This is
however small part of the money
needed BY the committee TO meet
other expenses. Very active work
will have to be done in that line
from now until the time
Very satisfactory terms have been
made with the railroad for transpor
tation of military organizations,
brass bands and civic societies. Also
a very low rate from all points. A
private car will be placed at the dis
posal of Admirals Sampson and Far
quhar, Captain Chadwick and other
Naval officers who will attend. Ev-
eryone should assure their friends
that these gentlemen will certainly
be here. The inability of President
Mckinley to attend has caused some
people to say that possibly the Nav
al officers will also disappoint US.
This impression is incorrect. All of
them have assured Capt. Chadwick
and our committee that they will be
here.
ANY who have doubts we might
cite to the change in orders by the
Navy Departmental unheard of
thing-on account of this occasion.
An order was issued few days ago
from Washington making changes
in Commanders and in various ways
affecting the North Atlantic Squad
ron to take effect on the 10th. On
account Of the engagement for Nor
gantown on that day the order was
postponed until the officers return TO
their posts from here.
Yesterday evening Mayor Glass
cock, Jos. Mofeland and some other
gentleman went to Unioatown to
meet officers OF the 10th Pennsylva-
MIA and invite the regiment to come
| here ON that occasion. While no
definite arran cement was made to
come as a body it was learned that
all of them who are in reach intend
to come as individuals and it was
also learned that many hundreds Of
citizens from Pennsylvania are also
coming
With reports from other places the
indications are that the most serious
question will be to take care OF the
crowd. All our hotels, restaurants
and boarding houses will be able 10
feed but small proportion of those
expected and it has been suggested
among other things that the church
es of the town might arrange to
serve dinner for two or three hours
and others might also do the same
with profit This question can be
discussed and the necessary arrange
ment made but it should be done
soon. The committee will no doubt
make suggestions outlining plans for
the dav.

THE APPLE CROP.
An Interesting Interview with Prof.
C0rbett on Apple Growing.


Professor l.. @. Corbett of the Ex-
pertinent Station at Morgantown who
has been visiting the orchards OF ouI
county and who has recently been
through New York, Ohio, Penna and
Delaware, says that for quality and
quantity the Berkeley county orchards
where spraying and cultivation have
been Systematically carried on, excel
any Others he has visited.
The Wilderness orchard of Miller
Bros, which three years ago was in
a very critical condition owing to
neglect and root louise is now with
clean culture and scientific treatment
for the pests, carrying healthy foliage
and heavy crop of fruit Of superior
size and coloring. This orchard three
years ago was suffering with root
pest which threatened to destroy it,.
To-day after treating it with tobacco
dust at Prof. Corbett's suggestion the
orchard has been restored to health
and vigor and is upon permanent
paying basis.
In Hon. Alex. Clohan's orchard,
where for several years past, the deli
cate Famuse had lost much of its
foliage and bore only fruits too poor
to be of market value, the use of
Bordeaux Mixture as spray has al
most completely eradicated the pests,
and foliage and fruits are in healthy
conditions; as result the owner is an
ardent advocate of spraying.
Prof. Corbett, when asked, "How
does West Virginia methods compare
with those of other states" said:
"Fruit growing in West Virginia
is quite different from that in any
other state in eastern United States
with which am familiar. In New
York and other eastern states orchard
ing is seldom made the one line of
work. The orchard usually consists
of from s, ~, 10 or even 80 acres of
the farm, the remainder being devot-
ed to general agriculture. Here
where orcharding has gained foot
hold it is the main reliance of the
persons engaged in it and as result
cultivation is better and more bust
ness like methods are in vogue. Our
people in the eastern part of the
State can learn a profitable lesson in
harvesting and storing from the
Northern Panhandle, while the peo-
pie of that region would profit by the
systematic spraying and cultivation
practiced here.

PLANS CHANGED.
Navy Department Recognizes
the Importance of Chadwick
Day.
Significant Steps Taken by Them
Letters Received BY the Local Com
mittee arrangements Being Perfect
ed Officers Selected by General Spill
nan-W. J. White viii Not Be Here.

The letter received by the Commit
tee from Rear-Admiral Crowninshield,
Chief Of the Bureau Of Navigation,
fixes Chadwick Day as October 10th,
1899 In his letter he states that the
Navy Department has virtually chang
ed their plans in order to accommodate
the people of West Virginia in honor
ing their loved and esteemed citizen,
but ostensibly for the purpose Of per-
hitting Rear-Admiral Sampson to be
with Chadwick on that day in Nor
gantown.
Rear Admiral Farquhar, who ex-
poets to relieve Admiral Sampson,
wrote to the Committee that he would
do anything the people of West Vir-
ginia wanted and gave his consent to
the change of time for relieving Ad-
miral Sampson of the Command of
the North-Atlantic Squadron.
Everything indicates that we will
have two companies, at least of the
10th Pennsylvania; and our local COM
panies are getting ready to come from
the adjoining counties, but all of
this costs money!
General Spillman, who is to be
Grand Marshal of the parade, has Sc
lected the following officers:
Chief of staff, -Thos. E. Hodges.
Assistant Marshal, Col. G. L.
Smith.
Assistant Adjutant General, KEN
BILE White.
Assistant Marshal, -Col. W. H.
Banks.
Assistant Marshal Col. Jos. IL. Nc
Dermott.
Hon. w. J. White was at first ask
ed to take prominent part in the ex-
ercises, but owing to his recent ap-
pointment to a Lieutenancy in the
Army now in the Philippines. he was
compelled to decline.
Under the able management of Col.
Thos. E. Hodges, everything pertain
ing to the parade will be an assured
success.

An exchange gives the public gen
orally this bit Of good advice: Don't
tell newspaper reporter, when he
calls on you on business, things
which you do not wish him TO print.
He does not call for information for
the fun of it. He is there on bust
ness. When you meet reporter
socially, don't say to him every time
you open your mouth, This is not
for publication" If you really have
information to give either give it
cheerfully and frankly or refuse with
firmness, but don't try to be clever
and attempt any ''funny business"
If you give information frankly, you
will in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred be accurately reported and
respectfully treated. If you refuse
firmly and politely your reticence
will be respected. If you try to out
wit the reporter by an effort to mis-
lead him or by direct misrepresen-
tation, you are sure to make mess
of it and wish that you had been
better advised. Disabuse your mind
OF any foolish impression that the
newspaper reporters are malignant
persons, trying to stir up trouble in
the world. They are, as a rule, the
opposite Of this and have as high an
idea as other men Of the relative adj
vantages of contentmcnt and strife.

FOOTBALL.
What is Being Done Locally in
the Game.

Men will be Here this Week to Start
Fall Practice-First Game on Chad
wick Day with Grove City-Other
Teams have Started Practice-W,
and j. Hollers Light Team.
Among the views of a number OF
football managers in this section OF
the country published in recent is,
sue of the Dispatch the following
about the local boys appeared:
Owing to the fact that the West
Virginia University does not begin
work this fall until October l, its
football team will be little late get
ting into the field 1t will, however,
report in Morgantown for practice
on September 20. Notwithstanding
that few of last years men will be
back this season, the prospects for
a strong team are very good. The
men of the '9S team who will play this
year are Yeager, McGregor, Nc
Whorter, Donley, Lardin, Darnell,
and Osborn. Among the new men
who will report for practice are
Scott, Sweeney, of the First West
Virginia Volunteers, and Chapman,
of W. u j., 1877.
The question of who will be en-
gagged to coach the team has not yet
been decided. The athletic faculty
has received applications from sever,
al good men for the position.
The new athletic field has been
recently completed, consequently
more games will be played at home
than heretofore. The season will
open on Chadwick day, October 10,
and after that the following sched-
ule will be played: October 20, Ohio
Wesleyan, at Morgantown; October
%, Marietta College, at Marietta, O.;
November 4, Dickinson College, at
Martinsburg, w. Va; November IL,
Westminster College, at Morgan
town; November Is, w. d j., at
Washington. EARL H. SMITH.
Acting Manager.
The men will report in Morgan
town the latter part of this week and
will get down to hard work by the
time that school opens the first OF
next month. A number of the old
men will be back and several new
ones will be here Dovey the crack
player will report and will direct
things.
The Chadwick day game will be
with Grove City and the boys will
have to hustle if they win the first
game of the season. The Grove City
lads are always in the contests from
the Jump and they will make it in
teresting for anyone whom they
meet.
Manager Smith will be here on
Wednesday TO take charge and di-
rect things until the return of Cross
land who is now in the east for med
ical treatment The prospects, seem
bright but it will remain for look
to be taken at the candidates before
certainly can be told of
what it will be.
All the other teams In this section
that are to be met by us are down to
hard work and some of them are
showing up well. W. d j. say they
have very light team but this is
probably bluff

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen of
them. Most people would say, if
they told the truth, that there is no
limit to the mistakes of life; that
they are like drops in the ocean, or
the sand on the shore in number;
but it is as well to be accurate. Here,
then, are fourteen great mistakes:
1t is a great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong,
and judge people accordingly; to
measure the enjoyment of others by
our own; to expect uniformity of
opinion in this world, to look for
judgment and experience in youth
to yield to immaterial trifes; to look
for perfection in our own actions; to
worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied; not to al
leviate all that needs alienation, as
far as lies in our power; not to make
allowances for the infrmities of 9th
ers; to consider everything impossi-
BILE that we cannot perform; to be
lieve only what our finite minds can
grasp to be able to understand ev-
erything. The greatest of mistakes
is to live for time alone when any
moment may launch us into eterni-

The management of the B. d O.
railroad has issued a notice to all
their employees warning them
against allowing their wages to be

that it has become so f.equent
among the men that such proceed

Hereafter, any employee who al
lows his wages to be attached more
than once, will be dismissed at once
