Said William Black, in answer to
certain critics who deplored the lack
of realistic" effects in his novels: II
prefer to write about sane people and
honest people, and imagine that after
all, they are in the majority in the
world" He uttered a cheering and
wholesome truth here. The realism"
which prides itself upon depicting the
sordid tragedies OF human existence,
which confounds the exceptional with
the general, which finds no joy, no
nobleness in life, is blind to It's facts
and deaf to its teachings. One tires
OF 1t all, and longs for something
sweeter, less ignoble, less superficial
and misleading. True realism" says
Stevenson, 'is always and everywhere
that of the poets-to find out where
Joy resides and give it voice."

ACCIDENTAL" MEETING

That there are not - Low wide awake
Republicans in the State who are TAX
ing a good long look into the future
is evidenced by the accidental meet
ing of coterie from the First, Third
and Fourth districts at Moundsville
yesterday. OF course, there was moth
ing prearranged about the conference
and even the salient points of the dis
cussion were developed purely incl
dentally. The occasion for this mani
festation of budding ambition was the
appearance in the Marshall county
town of bevy of officials from Cabell
and Mason counties in charge of pris-
oners, where they remained over night
as the guests of Warden Hawk. Satur-
day morning representatives of the
Ohio county moguls dropped down, and
with the addition of half a dozen, more
or less, back-country politicians, the
sanhedrim was ready for biz. The
chat is said to have been interesting,
and from key-hole observations, it is
averred at times to have been even
animated 1t had not proceeded far
until it was evident there is bound to
be clash of interests and differences
galore to be reconciled. One partici-
pant. evidently appalled, by the dis
cordant opinions expressed, was
prompted to remark that IL aspirants
are at such variance now, what will
the result be by the day of the conven-
ton in 1900.
Among the prospective Gubernatorial
quantities it is understood the name Of
ex-senator Jim" Hughes, Of Cabell,
was urged by the delegation from that
quarter. and to that end Huntington
will be the choice of the Hughes pro-
moters for the convention city. The
name of prominent Wheeling Repub
lican was also mentioned as Governor
Atkinson's successor. which fact some
how didn't set we'll on the stomach
of the man who was looking after Ohio
countys great and only candidate for
State Auditor. Marshall county also
wants something" and it is under
stood that that Something" is the
identical spot on the Republican State
ticket that an Ohio county boss claims
for his own. In fact, the attempt to
set up slate within the prison walls
was not as dead easy as ii was Sc
curely private. and the results, as
might be expected, are not altogether
satisfactory.
The participants in this preliminary
attempt to make history for the Re
publican party in 1900, so far as learn
ed, were Sheriff H. NJ Adams, Deputy
Robert Johnson, T. H. Tyree. William
o. Walton, Hiram Dross, of Cabell: T.
H. Fitch, of Charleston. and John c.
Porter, of Mason county. There was
also a full quota of Marshall and Ohio

He Liked 1t.

He was one of the most expert bicy-
clers in Wheeling. He has ridden wheels
OF every make. He has at various times
owned over fifteen different wheels. He
is bicycle crank; but this year he has
a Columbia Chainless 1899 wheel. He
bought one, and now he says it is by
all odds the most perfect bicycle ever
constructed. He says it runs the easiest,
it is the safest. strongest. cleanest and
in every way the best wheel ever made.
He is a bicycle expert, and we can give
his name if desired. The Columbia
Chainless is correct mechanically, strong
and durable in every part. Prices range
from $50 to SIS. Shelf Bros. always have
the best of everything, and, of course,
the Columbia Bicycle is to be found at
their store.

The recent period of sultry weather
was followed by a week of cool even
ings, into which were crowded a num-
Der of very pleasing social entertain
ments. Rain interfered to some ex-
tent with the attendance upon several
affairs, but the week was lively in a So
cial way, considering the season of the
year. The attendance at the parks up
on the past two Sundays indicates that
an improved transportation service will
greatly increase the popularity of these
resorts Incidentally it will also result
in multiplication of the lawn parties
and suburban home affairs which have
been such prominent factor in fash
ionable life during past summer sea-
sons. The number of Wheeling people
who own summer residences along the

mented, and the most delightful enter
