Demand a Settlement at Once.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 12.-At a
meeting of business men and trolley
men of the Citizens Railway this eve
ming was precipftated by the action of
the railway company in securing an
Injunction to prevent the strikers from
interfering with the running of mail
cars, which 1t is charged never occur
red, but nevertheless a number of
United States Marshals are here. The
sense of the meeting was to condemn
'Ae aeon of the railway company and
to appoint company of citizens to
wait on the Board of Directors and de-
mand that they adjust the strike at
once, for the reason that all mercantile
interests of this place are suffering.
The major part of the railway stock
is owned outside of this city. Propo-
sitlons have been made by responsible
citizen to purchase al the company's
interest and pay the wages asked by
The men. Fifty non-union men were
brought here this morning and were
housed in the company's barns, but af-
ter they became acquainted with the
facts refused 20 work, and left the
building A few cars were run today
for about four hours, but no person
cared to ride. and consequently opera
tions ceased at noon. The action of
the company in refusing to meet the
representatives of the strikers and cit
izens this evening at the Chamber OF
Commerce brought concerted sym
pathy with the strikers.

The Price of Horses.

The Bellaire Democrat says the
price of horses has advanced this
spring and the fact isapparent to those
who disposed of theirs during the fall
and winter and are now seeking to
purchase with the approach of the sea-
sons when they are useful. Dealers
in horses say the advance over last
spring is on an average from twenty
to twenty-five per cent, due principally
to the inability to supply the demand.
Horses that sold from $S5 to $1OO last
spring, are said 10 bring from $125 to
$3.50 a head now.

CaptiYating Names.

The builders of sleeping cars are
running short of names, and there is a
demand for new systems of momencla-
ture; mere numbering would be too
prosaic for imaginative travellers.
Talker of the day suggests that the IT,
ties of works of fiction might be used
for this purpose and that the expert
ment would demonstrate the compare
tive soporific power of our novelists.
1t is an excellent idea, and we should
like to see it tried. We have notion
that the sleeping-car THE Christian"
would soon become a favorite, with
THE Sorrowing Satan" a good second

General Lew Wallace and His CIGAR

While General Lew Wallace was ar
guing a civil case in an Indian court
the other day he lit d cigar. When he
was told that such practices, though
once prevailing there, had recently
been abolished, he asked to be allow
ed as the oldest member of the local
bar the privilege of continuing, and
further declared that smoking was
necessary to his health. Then the
Judge smiled and formally extended
the courtesy, and the incident was re-
corded on the minutes of the Court.

A Hint to Our Educators.

It is gratifying to learn that the col
lege commercial course system has fin-
ally found foothold in the United
States. 1t should be encouraged and
helped along, for it is a good thing
A plan submitted by Columbia Uni
versity for the establishment of a four
years course in commerce in that in
stitute has been approved by the New
York Chamber of Commerce. The
plans of the undertaking are elaborate
and the university proposes to go into
the matter thoroughly. 1t will require
100000 annually to support the course,
which ought to be readily forthcom-
ing in community of wealthy busi-
ness men all interested in the new de-
parture.
Our own University of West Virginia
which is not whit behind the best of
the colleges in progressive spirit, may
find valuable hint in this experiment.
Certainly, If there is aught of good in
the new departure we want it engraft-
ed onto the curriculum of our own
State college assoon as possible, no mat
ter on how modest scale we may
nave to begin.
The experiment Is novel in this
country, although such courses have
long been established in European un-
lversities, notably those of Germany,
France and Austro-H Hungary in which
it is made a specially.
The plan of Columbia college is to
take pupils sufficiently advanced to
pass the ordinary entrance examina-
tion to the college. These will receive
a four years course Of training in the
principles underlying business, togeth-
er with adetailed course in practice,
to which will be added two or three
languages and thorough course in
literature. In the practical course
will be included accounting, transpor-
tation, trade technique, commercial
ethics, credits, insurance, and COM
mercial opportunities.
The lad with such training will be
dullard, indeed, If he is not able to
make his way in the world, while it
will give the intelligent youth of the
present generation an immense ad-
vantage over their fathers, who had to
learn these things in the rough and
often bitter school of practical exper-
ience, arriving at fullness of know
ledge and complete mastery of their
business only about the time they
were ready to retire from active life
1t is the lack of such training as this
in youth that wears the lives of many
of our business men into a groove of
dull routine plodding calculated to
make of them mere machines of trade
While it is folly to suppose that any
school training can take the place of
practical experience, still it is true that
with the fundamental principles and
routine u9ages governing business
mastered at the beginning the man of
may devote h.s principal en-
ergy to applying his knowledge to
practical experience and to developing
and improving this knowledge and
himself rather than to the unintelli-
gent plodding and sordId routine of
the shop"
This experiment will be watched
throughout the country with great in
crest. In this age of swift progress
me must be swift to take a hint or be
eft behind in the onward sweep

WALLINGFORD HAPPENINGS
QUARTET OF NEW HAVEN MEN HELD
FOR NORTH HAVEN JUSTICE.
Real Estate Transfers Recorded Yester-
day-BOard of Burgesses Meets This
Evening John Nj. Hull Ill With
Fever-Other Borough Items.


The cases against the three New Ha-
ven youths for Sundays racket in Wal
lingford was settled without trial, as
all agreed to the payment of the costs,
which amounted to $10.13 in each case.
The charge of drunkenness was with
drawn and the settlement was on the
breach Of the peace clause. The three
men were taken to North Haven late
In the afternoon TO answer to the
charge Of driving on the bicycle path
before Justice Linsley. There seemed
to be a general expression of sympathy
among those who learned the facts of
the case for the two youngest men,
Searles and Hickey who it Is believed
were led astray by their other compan-
ions, Mcnamara and McGinnis, bur
they had to take their share and suffer
for their folly.
At the time the New Haven youths
was no attempt at resistance to arrest,
but at first Mcnamara said he was not
going back to Walingford with the
officer saying "IIe was a ball of fire.
and hot to handle" The officer quietly
Informed him that it was probable that
the fire would die out before he left
Wallngford. Quite number of the
Ramblers followed the fleeing youths
down through Northford, and were in
at the finish at Montowese Even If
the four men had escaped their pursu-
ers from the rear they would have
struck a snag when they struck New
Haven, as the police had been notified
and were waiting at Ferry street and
other points for the party.
Yesterdays recorded transfer was the
Watrous Manufacturing company to
the International Silver company, its
entire plant and stock. The document
