A Science Worth Cultiyating.

The regents of the University of
West Virginia yesterday authorized
the president to employ an instructor
in domestic science, as the first step
toward the establishment of school
of that kind. He is permitted to Of
fer salary of $1,000 year, which
is proof that the domestic is regard
ed as really a science.
Soft is, and ought to be cultivated
There is state association for that
purpose in New York, carried on APP
parently by private subscription,
which employees abouta dozen teach
ers, who give lessons now in one
house and now in another, at which
the pupils, who seem to be mostly
married women, assemble, and pay
5 cents a lesson, or scarcely enough
to cover the cost of the articles of
food used The cultivation of the
science in that way is not without
difficulty because OF the variety of
tastes and customs and prejudices
which have to be consulted, yet the
work done is useful and will yield
good results in time
The first of these will be the eco
nomical, and it cannot come too
soon, for the wastes in average
kitchens are keeping the noses of
many men to the giindstone, evi
dence of which observers have long
been obtaining from glances at the
garbage cans of the neighborhood,
into which frequently go whole
bakings spoiled by the ignorance of
servants and housewives. And it
would be curious to go over the files
OF daily newspaper of this or any
other city and pick out the cases of
family quarrels which came before
the magistrates, originating in the
bad feeling Caused by bad cooking
In the great manufacturing estab
lishments everything is utilized; no
people surpass the Americans ia
economy of that character, but no
other people approach the Americans
in wastefulness at the homes.-Pitts-

RECORD BREAKER.
Year will Witness
Some Big things in this
State.

Operators are after Some Very Large
Game What out side People Think
OF the Chances ahead For the State
Coal Trade to be Good 0ne--indiea
tiens for yarieus Parts OF the State
Better Progress than Expected.
10 the last issue of the American
Manufacturer, of Pittsburg, in its re-
port Of West Virginia coal trade at
present, notes that from every section
of West Virginia and eastern Ohio
'scomes the report of good and improy-
ed business. The report states that
shipments by way of Wheeling 10
points west and northwest show in-
crease, and continues:
In the Fairmont region things are
lively, and while everything is not
working quite up to capacity, business
is good. The demand for coke in-
creasing slowly, but steadily, and u
good feature is the fact that most OF
it is finding its way into new markets.
On the West Virginia Central and
Pittsburg there is no change, except
that the Davis Coal and Coke Com
pany is increasing its tenements TO
accommodate more men who are being
employed in the mines. Every ton of
coal the companies cab produce is
finding ready sale, and shipments are
well up To the capacity OF the railroads
to handle them. On the Norfolk and
Western all the miners are busy, and
every man who can be hired finds EN-
plOyinent. Western shipments are
steady and strong, and the call for
coke from that section is especially
good. The Norfolk and Western coke
producers are working for big game
now, and have good reasons TO hope
that on July LIST they will be able TO
enter into contracts for supplying coke
TO the western furnaces of at least
one of the recently formed iron aud
steel combines.
The year 1899 promises to be a rec
ord breaker for the West Virginia
coal industry. if we may judge from
the reports as chronicled in the trade
journals. 1t was in 1897 that West
Virginia attained a total output OF
1000, 600 tons larger than her rival
State of Ohio, and won her indisputa-
BILE title to the third place in the rank
of coal producing States 10 the Union.
In the report of the United States
Geological Survey for 1894 on the
mineral resources Of the United States
Edward Wheeler Parker, the statis-
tician, ventured the prediction that
West Virginia would supplant Ohio
in the list of coal producers before
the close OF the century. In his re
port Issued last October, he was pleas
ed 10 note that the prediction had
been verified in half the time stated
Mr. Parker coupled that statement
with the further prediction. based on
the total product of ii, 24S, $50 short
tons, with spot value OF $S,9S7 1893,
in 1897, that, while it was not to be
supposed that the production would
increase 10 ten years from 1888 to
1898, during which II was quadrupled)
it was possible. if not probable, that
by the time the next century was ten
years old, West Virginia would be the
second coal producing State in the
country.

Wheeling News.

WueeilDB NEWS.
The deputy internal revenue collec-
tors, Bonar, Singleton and Campbell,
have been busy the past three days
seizing cigars bearing the stamps
made by the Lancaster counterseiters,
who are now under arrest at Philadel-
phia. At the internal revenue office
this morning it was stated that 49,
900 cigars had been seized in Wheel
ing alone. The cigars were made by
Kendig and Jacobs, the Pennsylvania
counterfeiters. The boxes do not
bear the names Of the manufacturers
but can be told by the factory num-
Der on the bottom of the boxes.
Kendigs number is 459 and Jacobs is
3,741. Nearly all of the boxes bear
the stamp of the latter factory. Some
of them are sold under various ficti-
tious names such as the Eagle, Postal
and Cash tobacco companies. The
cigars are of inferior quality such as
are handled by wholesale grocers and
jobbers to the country trade and sec
ond-class saloons. Most of them have
stock labels.
At one wholesale grocery house 49,
900 cigars were seized. Two whole
sale houses had over half the confiis-
Gated goods. The rest were scattered
The collectors went to every place of
business in the city where cigars were
handled and looked over the entire
stock. When the Illegal cigars were
found 10 small lots they were removed
to the custom house, but when they
were in large wholesale lots thsss were
allowed to remain ia thc Warehouse,
but the dealers liotifled to leave them
alone.
1t is not yet known what DISPOSE
tion will be made of the confiscated
goods, the government not having ad-
vised the the local authorities as to
that point. 1t is thought here that
the owners of the cigars will be allow
ed to recover them upon payment OF
the revenue tax No holder of the
cigars who purchased them in good
faith is made criminally liable. His
only loss is the amount of the revenue
or il the government decides to hold
the goods the owner will be out the
price he paid the manufacturer.
Both wholesalers and retailers have to
give them up. The collectors have
had no trouble gathering up the goods.
Captain Bonar and Mr.. Singleton are
now touring the first district with
the same object in view. A secret
service man has also been making the
rounds.
The counterfeit is practically per-
feet. 1t was shown to News repor
ter this morning at the internal rev.
enue Office, and the collector stated it
was almost impossible to detect the
counterfeit. The only flaw in the
counterfeit is that in the letters of
the word cigars the little mortised
diamonds are smaller ia the counter
felt than in the original and not so
we'll defined.

MORE CIGARS

In Boxes Bearing Counterfeit Revenue
Stamps, Discovered in West Virgin
ia.
PARKERsBTRG, w. Va, April 30
The search for stogies set out by
Jacobs, the Lancaster, Pa, manu-
facturer, under bogus stamps
brought to light many thousands of
the goods hearing fraudulent stamps
to-day. Deputy Collector White has
seized 100000 in Wheeling and the
small towns surrounding that city,
and many thousands were reported
seized by deputies sent to the inter
Tor towns and at Morgantown, Pied
mont, Fairmont and Bluefield. After
the work of locating the goods is
completed sale of the stock will be
made, extending to persons found
having the stuff in Their possession
the right of buying genuine stamps
and keeping the stogies.

A Oueer-?-Medicine

There is medicine whose propri-
etors do not claim to have discovered
some hitherto unknown ingredient,
or that it is a cure-all. This honest
medicine only claims to cure certain
diseases, and that its ingredients are
recognized by the most skilled physic-
ians as being the best for Kidney and
Bladder diseases. 1t is Folcy's Kid
ney Cure. J. M. Reed.

TELEPHONES IN THE COUNTRY
Greene County Said to Have More Than
Any Other Rural C0mmu nifty.

'ftcAhoptiS Al Sto'
One of the remarkable facts about
the telephone business is that there
are more OF them in use in Greene
county that in any other county OF
the State in proportion to the popu-
Iation. 1t has fewer miles of rail
road than almost any county in the
State, but there is an independent
telephone system in operation which
eives cheap, but good service, and
it is estimated that so per cent OF
the farmers have telephones in their
houses.
The country roads are not of the
best, and the residents who cannos
visit in person are enabled by the
telephone system to converse with
each other in ali kinds of weather,
and are really closer together than
if the country was latticed with
asphalt bouIevards. 1t is predicted
that when the independent compan
les get their lines in working order
the condition which exists in Green
county will be general all over the
State. Some optimists assent that
it will not be over three years before
every house will be supplied with a
telephone.

New d. & o. Schedule.

The new schedule on The Baltimore
& Ohio road is expected to go into
effect on the It'll of May. A meet
ing of the officials was held in Balti-
more several days ago, but no infor-
nation was given to the public as to
the result of the conference. How
ever, it is not thought that any i'm
portant changes will be made but 1t
will be some time this week before it
will be definitely known what will
be done

Abraham w. Burdette, of this city,
and Miss Sarah l.. Kunst of PruDty-

home Of the brides parents this even

is that Mr.. Burdette issued the license
under which he was married. He is
deputy clerk OF the County Court and
since the recent death Of his brother
is acting clerk. Under the law no
other person in the county could
license Mr.. Burdette to marry.

DOG POISONERS.
Several Greenmont CANNES
have gone to Kingdom Come.

Poison Discovered In a we'll wall at one
PIace-very Dangerous Proceed.
ing People are very Warm over II
and They will rosecute-Inquiry by
Amateur Detectives have Given
Several Clues.
The dog poisoner has laid several
CANNES low on Greenmont and the
owners are full of wrath in conse-
quence. The first ones to pass to
canine Kingdom come went over on
Monday night. On Tuesday three
more joined the silent majority and
their fate has added to the chorus Of
curses that have been going up on
that side of the creek.
Investigation was set on foot on
Tuesday and several pieces Of meat
with poison literally applied to them
were discovered. One of these was
stuck in the well at Robert Blooms.
The piece contained enough poison to
kill several men and was placed iD a
crevice in the wall of the well above
the ground.
Had it fallen into the well the con-
sequence would have been terrible and
it might have resulted in the death of
several people. The people.who found
the meat were very angry and they
are determined to push the matter.
An investigation was set on foot
and it was found where the poison
was purchased or at any rate where
some had been bought few days ago
and from this the rest of the proceed
ings will follow.
1t is not thought that the people
who put the poison out intended to
do anything but poison some dogs but
had the stuff gotten into the well
where it might readily have gone had
it not been discovered it would have
made things very interesting for those
who used the water.
The law in regard to the placing of
poison out is very severe and those
who have done this will have to suffer
for what they have done u the pres
ent intentions of,She prosecutors are
carried out.

NEW RAILROADS
Projected in West yirginia--Seyen
Bona Fide Corporations Chartered
Within the Present Month.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 20
The present month has been one
almost unprecedented in the indus
trial history of this state, so far as
the chartering Of big railroad corpora
tions is concerned. Seven railroads
all apparently bona tide concerns,
have taken out charters and are all
preparing To carry out their purposes.
The seven corporations represent an
aggregate capital of $478, 800, the
greater part OF which has been sub
scribed by West Virginia parties.
The principal part of these projected
developments will take place in Nc
Dowell county, in the Mcdowell Poca-
hontas coal fields. Five cut of the
seven railroads will be constructed liz
that section. The other two corpora
tions are Harrison county concerns.

BY reason of an omission, due to an
oversight in the general appropriation
act passed by the recent legislature,
the building of the three miners hos
pitfalls, provided for in the Beavers
act, is practically precluded for two
years, at least The hospital act it,
self makes provision for the needed
appropriation, but the appropriation
act does not. Without such provision
in the appropriation act the similar
clause in the hospital act becomes
void

state as state institutions. The spe-
cial act creating them provides for the
appropriation of $500 apiece for
the erection Of the buildings, IS, O0C
apiece for running them, and 81, 0OC
apiece for furnishing them.
