PRESIDENT W. H. Riley,
or the S~togiemakers' League, Makes
statement About the Moundsvillle Plant.

statement About the Moundsvillle Plant.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-The article published in Saturdays
issue of your paper from H. Seamon in
explanation of the attempt to organize his
factory at Moundsville was in substance
correct. yet not clear enough TO give the
public a comprehensive understanding of
the situation. Mr.. Seamon has been for
nearly three years operating a non-union
factory at Moundsvil.e, w. Va, and plac-
ing his cigars upon the market as d
Wheeling product. Wheeling's reputation
for unionism is such that the name of
Wheeling is equivalent to a guarantee
of the character of the goods to which it
is attached. Hence the application TO the
U. S. Court for protection of that which is
regarded as the city manufacturers trade
mark.
The feeling against accepting Mr.. Sea-
mons factory into the organization we
represent, has been and is so general and
bitter. for good and suffieie-.t reasons that
the National Executive Board seriously
questioned the wisdom of organizing them.
Yet, conforming to the principles Of organ
ization and our general laws, we met
with Mr.. Seamon and in a friendly spirit
thoroughly discussed the situation and
agreed to accept his factory at the mini
mum rate OF wages, which is three dol
lars per thousand. A few days later, Mr.
Seamon informed US that unless We fur
nished labels for 100000 stogies on hand.
he would continue to run his factory non
union.
1t is hardly necessary to say we could
not do this, for our label stands unques-
toned as a general guarantee for both
unionism and wages. while the stogies re-
ferred 10 lack these essentials. Mr.. Sea-
man says he can secure all the men nee
essary to operate his factory in full. We
believe otherwise. One thing he cannot do
without butting up against Uncle Sam"
(Which is a very dangerous thing TO at
Tempt n that is to continue 10 use the
words wheeling Stogies.' or anything
that implies the same. and we herewith
caution the jobbers in this and other local.

A QUESTION FOR COUNCIL.
WHEELING .Julv 9th 1899

Wf1EELlNG, Jul SLH, 1898.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: Since the attractions of the
Midway have departed, it may reason
ably be anticipated that Council will
get down to the performance of its
duty CD and attend to business await
ing its action. A matter of general in
terest among the humble people who
elect the members of Council is the
solution Of the question whether Coun-
Gil will back up the city solicitor and
make the National Telephone Company
of West Virginia construct IN under
ground system in our business district
and place its work under the control
and supervision of the Board of Public
Works, as the law and common sense
dictates, or do violence to the law,
propriety and ordinary business prud-
ence by passing the ordinance recon-
mended by the committee on ordin-
ances? 1t is true that most anything
may be reasonably expected from a
council which could pass the Consum-
ers' Electrical CompanyS franchise or
dinance, and thus frame the death
warrant of the city's gas business. Yet
it would be a very hardened sinner of
a councilman who, after learning the
public sentiment as to that ordinance,
has not repented in mental "sackcloth
and ashes"
The people will tolerate no o
such work. Let some friend of the
city in Council call for and have en-
tered the ayes and noes on every step
of the course of this telephone ordin-
ance, so that the voters may know
what manner of men represent them.

COL. SEELEY HERE
Arranging for the Appearance of the Big
Show at the Fair Grounds Saturday.

Arranging for the Appearance of the Big
Show at the Fair Grounds Saturday.
Col. Charley Seeley, scholar, Snowman
and seer, undoubtedly possesses more in
formation about shows and showmen than
any living man connected with amusement
enterprises.
Col, SeeIey is a special agent of the Com
bined Adam F~orepaugh and Sells Brothers
Circuses, which organization is scheduled
for appearance in this city next Saturday.
James A. Bailey, one of the most inter-
esting, picturesque and successful arenic
chieftains the world has ever known, now
in England with the Barnum and Bailey
show, is associated with Sells Brothers
and w. w. Cole in the exploitation of the
-Forepaugh-Sells Brothers Combination.
Jim Bailey said Col. Seeley last night,
at the Windsor Hotel, broke into the bust
ness thirty-four years ago as a bill poster.
and to-day he is far and away the great
est figure in the amusement field of both
hemispheres. and probably doesn't know
himself how much he is worth financially.
James A. Bailey, to give him full cogno-
men. is now sole owner OF the Barnum-
Bailey outfit, half owner of Buffalo Bits
Wild West, and has a large interest in the
Forepaugh : Sells Circus. Everybody
knows, of course, that these three enter
prises are the largest amusement institu-
lions on earth. Jim Bailey has out-Bar-
numed the late Phineas T. in every way,
and the old guy, would open his eyes in
amaZement if he could come back to earth
and get a squint at Jim and his three big
show plants.
And the best of it is that Bailey to-day
is the same man he was at the ~start-quiet,
unassuming and democratic. Jim wears
just the same size hat that he did thirty
four years ago and pays about the same
price for it. The secret of his success?
Brains, originality, hustle and strict at
tention to detail-the smallest as well as
the most important.
Bailey was the first man who had
pluck enough to take a big show around
the world, and made his first $l00, 600 when
in 1876 he took the Compatibility Circus to
Australia, India and South America. He
then, in 1878, bought the English Howes-
Gushing Circus, and became a formidable
rival to Barnum. In 1881 he united his
outfit with that CT Barnum, which was the
beginning of the gigantic circuses of to-
day.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE PARK.

A solid week of vaudeville entertain
ment will open at the Park with a per-
Torrance Monday night. An excellent
company of comedians, singers and
dancers and speciality artists has been
secured, and they will appear in a re-
fined performance which will no doubt
attract large crowds to the Casino and
the enclosure. If the engagement
proves successful it will probably be
followed by others during the summer
season.

Wanted the Title.

A correspondent of the Toronto Globe
at Washington says that at a luncheon
given to the Canadian commissioners
the women present kept the menu cards
and got the commissioners to write
their names upon them, that they might
have a souvenir of the occasion. One
woman saw with undisguised concern
her card filling up with plain everyday
names. She was astonished that Sir
Wilfrid and the other Canadian knights
signed their names without the prefix
of Sir, but as she neared Lord Herschel
she felt that things would be different,
for was he not lord high chancellor of
England?
Her establishment turned to dismay
when the card again came back, this
time with the single word Herschel
"HerschelI' she said. "Herschell Why
doesn't he sign it Lord Herschel2' >
In vain it was explained to her that
peers signed only their titles, and that
it would be very bad form to put Lord
before it. She had been bunkoed and
knew it. In that souvenir today there
is no doubt a footnote for the benefit of
her friends, explaining that Herschel is
lord, even though he doesn't acknowl-
edge it himself.

A DfaboIfcaI Invention.

Details are given of an invention
which fills us with dismay. According
to the account furnished by the in
ventor, his new photographic voice
trumpet magnifies musical and vocal
sounds in such volume as to render
them uncomfortable in a room and salts
factorily distinct two miles off. In time
he hopes to extend the stentorophonic
capacity of this terrible trumpet to
thrice that distance. His first idea was
to enable ship captains to converse in a
heavy sea fog or at night. Now, how
ever, he has realized that by the aid of
his sound magnifer telephones can be
made which will allow political speak
er or professional vocalist to entertain
three or four audiences seated in halls
wide apart at one and the same time.
The power which is thus placed in
ing their own voices is nothing short of
devastating. Imagine again the infam
matory effect of debate in the French
chamber being ''switched' on to the
working quarters, or of Sir Ellis Ash
mead Bartlett simultaneously ravishing
the ears of the house Of commons and
of a demonstration in Hyde park.
Seriously. it is impossible to profess
enthusiasm for an invention calculated
to enhance the dominion of din under
which modern jewellers in cities inces-
sanity groan.-London Spectator.

downtrodden woman. Her tears have
fallen in the Nile and Tigris, the La
Plata, and on the steppes of Tartary.
She has been dishonored in Turkish gar
den and Persian palace and Spanish Al
hambra. Her little ones have been sac
rifced in the Indus and the Ganges-
There is not groan, or a dungeon, or
an island, or a mountain, or a river, or
a lake, or sea but could tell story of
the outrages heaped upon her. But,
thanks to God, this glorious Christianity
comes forth, and all the chains of this
vassalage are snapped, and she rises
from ignominy to exalted sphere and
becomes the affectionate daughter, the
gentle wife, the honored mother, the
useful Chxistian. Oh, if Christianity
has done so much for woman, surely
woman will become it's most ardent adj

An Expensive French Soldier.

It is open to question whether France
has had her moneys worth out of Pri-
vate Petit, who was recently serving in
the One Hundred and Fifty eighth in
fantry regiment at Lyons. Petit was
born in the republic Of Paraguay, Of
French parents, who neglected to make
the necessary declaration at the consul
ate. Ignorant of this, he came to France
and was promptly arrested as deserter
and sentenced to term of imprison-
ment. When this was over, he did his
three years. service, at the expiration
of which he demanded, in accordance
with the law, his expenses for his jour-
ney home. Attempts were made to per-
suade him that France was a more de-
sirable country to reside in than Para
quay, but he refused to be convinced
and insisted on the sum to which he
was entitled being paid him. Expenses
being allowed at the rate of SO much
per kilometer, Petit's little bill came
to 4, 1875 francs. It may be doubted If
his services to his country were worth
this amount. Letter.
