delegates from abroad TO the State con-

OTHER RIVER ITEMS.

William H. Clark and Chas G. Thorn
as, U. S. local inspectors. have deter
mined to cause drunkenness among
steamboat officials. while on duty, to
cease, if possible. There seems to be
number of officials who at times re-
port for duty when under the influence
of liquor, thereby endangering life and
property. 1t is very dangerous
practice, nevertheless masters rarely
report such incidents. Yesterday the
following order was issued by the in
speetors, which explains itself:
Sir:-You are hereby notified that
your license as Chief Engineer of Nom
condensing river steamers has this day
been suspended for period of 80 days,
to take effect from the date hereof, for
intemperance while acting under the
authority of your license on steamer
"Eloise," on the 18th day of May, 1899
In conclusion, we have to say as this
is the first information that has come
to our knowledge, that you were in
temperate in your habits, we make
the sentence as light as possible, but
if you continue to be Incorporate by
using intoxicant liquors to excess, We
will be compelled to revoke your
license. Yours very respectfully,
WILLIAM H. CLARK,
CHARLES G.. THOMAS,

Perhaps the largest single contract
ever let for plumbing in this city was
yesterday awarded the well known firm
of Trimble & Lutz, Of 1900 and 1902
Market street. The contract comprises
the entire reftting of the Mcclure
House, which is at present being re-
modelled and will require new pipes,
connections and fittings from basement
to dome. The work will require a
large force of plumbers a good portion
of the summer. 1t is gratifying to
know that Wheeling has a firm capa-
BILE of undertaking such huge re-
sponsibility with every requisite nee
essary to its successfully diseharging
it.

The Register yesterday published an
Associated Press telegram from New
York, conveying information of the or
ganization of the National Tube Com
pany in that city. Mr.. Frank j.
Hearne was chosen First Vice Presi-
dent, and Mr.. Hearne and Mr.. j. N.
Vance are members of the Board of
Directors. Mr.. Vance returned from
New York Thursday night. Mr.. Hearne
and Mr.. j. d. Culbertson got back yes
terday, having been delayed by a
freight wreck on the B. & o.
A representative of the Register in
terviewed Mr.. Culbertson soon after
his arrival.
There is really scarcely anything"
said Mr. Culbertson, which might be
be given out, to supplement the infor-
nation furnished by the Associated
Press. The big deal has not yet been
finally consummated, as a matter of
course. l cannot tell you what valu-
alton will be placed upon the River
side, or any other of the thirteen prop
critics embraced in the deal. That is a
matter between the bankers who are
manipulating the combine, and the in
dlvidual concerns.
DO l regard suspension of opera
lions at the Riverside because of the
deal as possibility? Emphatically
no. If the matter is closed, the COM
pany will operate the plants which
are best equipped, and best adapted
from every point of view, for turning
out satisfactory product at the
smallest comparative cost. The Riv-
erside is one of these I rather think
the capacity Of the Riverside will be
largely increased, and that it will be
placed in continuous operation"

Got the Best of the Pawnbrokar.

town pawnbroker. He rushed into his
place one morning last week when it
was rather chilly and laid a spring
ovarcoat on the counter, not noticing
a negro standing there. "A clerk emerg-
ed from behind partition few mo-
ments later and asked the negro what
he wanted. The negro laid his hand
on the coat and said, What viii you

The clerk eXarnined it minutely and

gone the pawnbroker came into the

The recent acquisition OF the Ha

corporation as an integral part of the
territory of the United States invest
them with peculiar interest. Nc
doubt before long the American PEG.
people generally will become as famil
lar with all the facts of Hawaiian life
and history as with any portion of our
country. Although these islands are
believed to have been inhabited fol
more than hundred years the turning
point In their history was their dis.
coyery by the white man upore than
100 years ago. The future of these
islands VIII obviously be of American
make. But there is very much that il
unusually Interesting in the origin, the
soil. the climate, and the natural prod
ucts Of these islands as well as in the
occupations and habits of the native
islanders. The entire group is uDq1es
tionably the result of votcanic up
heaval from the ocean bed and the
only original soil of Hawaii was purs
lava. This volcanic product, thrown
UP by what was undoubtedly a series
of SUGGESTIONS of sub-oceanic conyul.
sions. took the form at first of vast
rugged mountain ranges, which still
remain in most impressive form in
several of the islands. These masses
of lava cooled and became q sort of
rock which. singularly enough, has no.
where in it any trace of mineral mat
ter. With the single exception of sui
phur, no mineral substance has been
found on Hawaiian soil. These lava
mountain ranges are rough, broken
and precipitous, and in many places
impossible. In some instances they
rise to mountain peaks of great height,
the highest, Mauna Loa and Mauna
Kea, in Hawaii, rising about $4,000
feet; Haleakala's summit, in Maui, is
10000 feet above sea level. The peaks
of the Pail and Tantalus, in Oahu, are
nearly 1000 feet in height.
A notable fact about some of these
Hawaiian mountains is that they con.

webster's Idea of the Great Orator.

The orator who would do justice to
great theme or a great occasion must
thoroughly study and understand the
subject; he must accurately and, IL pos
sible, minutely digest in writing be-
forehand the substance and even the
form, of his address; otherwise, though
he may speak ably. he will be apt not
to make in all respects an able speech.
He must entirely possess himself be-
forehand Of the main things which he
wishes to say, and then throw himself
upon the excitement of the moment
and the sympathy of the audience.
In those portions of his discourse
which are didactic or narrative, he will
not be likely to wander, in any direc-
ton far from his notes; although even
in those portions new facts, illustra-
tions, and suggestions will be apt to
spring up before him as he proceeds
But when the topic rises, when the
mind kindles from within. and the
strain becomes loftier, or holder, or
more pathetic, when the sacred foun-
tain of tears is ready to overflow, and
audience and speaker are moved by one
kindred sympathetic passion, then the
thick coming fancies cannot be kept
down, the storehouse of the memory is
unlocked. images start up from the
slumber of years, and all that the or
ator has seen, read. heard. or felt re-
turns in distinct shape and vivid col
ors. The cold and premeditated text
will no longer suffice for the glowing
thought, The stately. balanced phrase
gives place to some abrupt, graphic ex-
preston. that rushes unbdden to his
lips. The unforeseen incident or local
ity furnishes an apt and speaking i'm
age and the discourse instinctively
transposes itself into a higher key
