WHEELING, APRIL 1, 1900.
Easter Giving

Tomorrow will be Easter Day. the
annual festival which is observed
throughout the Christian world in COM
memoration OF the resurrection OF
Christ. Wherever Christians are gath
cred together this sacred occasion will
be celebrated as a day Of rejoicing. in
the places of public worship, in the
homes. in the humane institutions,
everywhere. In connection with the
celebration of Easter in memory Of the
central fact OF the Christian religion,
the occasion has of late years broadened
In its meaning and has become time
OF giving for benevolent purposes.
Easter offerings are coupled with the
anthems. and prayers, all cheering the
hearts OF men and women, who believe
in all that the day signifies. The true
significance Of the day has developed
during the centuries: it is not now n day
of solemn ceremony but day Of joy
and hope.
In connection with the thought that
Easter, the day of the resurrection. has
become day Of giving, the Intelligent
Ger this morning elsewhere announces
an Easter gift. received from good
citizen, by one OF Wheeling's humane
institutions, which will prove of great
benefit to 1t, and serve as a beautiful
example to others who have the means
to give. and who appreciate the spirit
OF the festival.
This splendid gift came to the board
of directors of the Wheeling Hospital in
the shape OF very large sum Of money
which will be used as n basis for the
creation of ar endowment fund. The
name OF the liberal donor he prefers
shall not be published. and the Intelli-
gencer Is not able TO give the amount,
but knows 1t is n generous gift. The
giver, true TO one of the great princi-
pies Of charity, prefers rather the salts
faction OF knowing the good his act will
accomplish. This is the first large gift
the hospital has received. and 1t may
inspire other Easter covers to do like
wise.

Occasionally Col. Henry Watterson
takes pleasure in calling the attention
Of his Democratic brethren OF the silver
side to the failure Of the prophecies
made in the days OF '96. He notes, with
manifest pleasure, that the wages OF a
half million workirgmen have been ad-
vanced and that now comes another tes-
timonial to the growing wealth of the
American farmer. Reference Is made
to the estimate by the statistical bureau
OF the agricultural department that the
Increase in the value OF farm animals
since January l, 1898, is Sl0S355, 49,,
making the present value within three
millions of being two billions, or $780,
100000. Colonel Waterson remarks that
"the calamity howIer finds his occupa-
ton gone. indeed"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, AS they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an nnamcd con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets In
famed you have Il rumbllnR sound or
imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is en-
tlrcly closed deafness Ia the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine Cnsca out OF ten are caused
by catarrh. which Is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness (causcd by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

And every head was Eravely bent
Der sacred psalm and psattcr,
And all the font was pink and white

Who wore an Easter bonnet.

And viewed her girllsh graccs,

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

a woman hates to spread scandal
the way cat doesn't hate to drink
milk.
II men would admit who did the pro-
posing most OF the time, the novels
would be different.
Maybe so many husbands are brutes
because II they weren't their wives
would be something worse.
1t takes will power for man to buy
his wife a birthday present at stock
ing counter and look the shop girl
square in the eye.
When you hear woman always tear
Ing other women'3 husbands to pieces
You can be sure there is something
mighty wrong with her own.-Ncw

Some people do not like this world.

Find things. with few exceptions. hero

The weather never suits them. they

And sigh for things OF yesterday, 80.
Or dread things OF tomorrow.
Some people nnI this world of Ours

TO them the weeds are fragrant iiowcrF
And unto them all days are bright;
They wonder Mt the gifts that God
To men is ever giving:
They seem 10 live TO spread abroad

hasn't reformed during its retirement;
Its inducements are much greater now
than they were before. By the "cxpan-

there Is very large addition to the
sources from which the organization
can draw its revenues.
The purpose OF the state assembly,
which Is composed largely of represen-
tatives of the state at large, Is to find
out whether Tammany has improved
