A CITY ON STRIKE.
New York Journal.

New York Journal
The citizens of Wheeling, w. Va,
have shown their sympathy with the
striking street car men by refusing TO
patronize the trolley lines. This novel
boycott includes all classes. The peo-
pie wear a button with the inscription.
''I'll walk
The strikers are contending for nine
hours work a day at 20 cents an hour.
The company put on non-union men
rather than accede to the demands.
Now that the patrons of the street
car lines have taken sides with the
workmen, the loss the company is sus-
tanning may force a settlement of the
trouble. An attack on the corporate
pocket is the best answer to make to
corporate injustice, particularly when
the attack comes from the masses of
the people who have no other interest
in the controversy than the desire to
see the employees fairly treated.
The striking street car men at
Wheeling hare the additional claim d

SUPPRESSED MARRIAGE LICENSES

Chicago News.
Regarding the case of Mr.. Bidwell
and bride, County Clerk Knopf said:
1--WE rarely suppress the marriage
license except for family reasons"
In this case the license was sup
pressed for the reason that politician
requested it. But one would think it
would occur to an intelligent sort of
man like County Clerk Knopf that he
isn't there to suppress marriage Ii
censes or other public documents.
The marriage license record does not
belong to the county clerk nor to his
deputies nor to the deputies political
friends. 1t is a public property. The
county clerk has no more business to
suppress marriage licenses than he has
to hide other records of his Office.

Embalming Process Of Old Man
Hamrick viii Now be Made Known
10 The Public.


Special to the Register.
Philippi, w. Va. May 21-At last II
seems that the wonderful methods en-
ployed by G. w. cold Man') Hamrick,
OF this section, in the preserving OF all
kinds of flesh, human bodies, animals
and fish, will be made known to the
public.
The venerable old mountaineer died
recently, and with him it was thought
the Egyptian method of embaiming,
which he possessed and claimed ne Sc
cured from the Bible had died also, as
he had many times refused very fatter-
ing offers to make known the secret to
scientists from all over the United
States, and not until the administra-
tor. B. B. Rohrbough, in advertising
the estate of the old man, announced
Hsle sale of the following patents,
was it known that the widow OF the
eccentric old man was in possession
of the secret
The administrator advertises the
much sought secrets thus: Patent
No. Al 900 for Dominion of Canada; i'm
provements in the method of embalm-
ing;" Patent No. 433,729, for the
United States of America, process of
manufacturing butter" Patent No.
-, for the United States of America,
Improvements in the method of en-
balming," and all other patents be-
longing to the deceased.
All the embalmed curiosities of the
old man have been purchased by John
f. Woodward and will be used in
museum, among them being the bodies
of two women which he secured from
the Weston asylum years ago and
which are yet in perfect state OF
preservation; a negro's head which ne
secured from Cincinnati medical col
lege, and many animals, reptiles, fish
and other curiosities.
The most wonderful secret possessed
by Hamrick was that of preserving
butter. Parties who had eaten the
butter after it had been put through
his wonderful process and had stood
nearly year, claim it equalled any
fresh dairy butter made. Another
great work of the dead scientist was
the fact that a quarter of beef, put
+h,o,ol +ba Drooocc apd bupor IN tho
sun, was found by responsible parties
who ate of it after months standing, to
be apparently as fresh as if just from
the slaughter
Hamrick refused numerous flattering
offers from New York undertakers and
men of science to diyulge his secret,
and many times men prominent in the
profession had called at the little
mountain home with immense amounts
of money to secure the secret but he
remained true to his word that he
would never make it known as long as
he lived, and until the sale of the pat
ents on next Monday the method was
only known to himself and his wife,
who cherishes the art highly.
Hamrick manufactured the liquid
himself from herbs which he gathered
in the mountains near his home and
with material he would secure from
the druggists, never buying the second
time at one drug store and only MAX
ing a purchase of one of the articles
used in manufacturing the wonderful
liquid at time.

The popullst party OF West Vir-

gor trail in the dust. Colonel Nat
Ward FItzerald has returned from
his wanderings in Utah and the
District of Columbia and settled
down AT Charles Town IN the good
old county OF Jefferson. Pros
perity has attended his journeymgs
To and fro and he has bought a
mansion. lie has again set up his
household gods among his own
countrymen. lie has not vet spoken
on The subject Of politics but VIC do
not believe ho onn maintain silence
much longer. The populist party
needs him. Without him it has
grown wan and languid AMI has been
"lmost overcome with ounui. Col.
Fitzgerald should soon speak and
again bring together tho scattered
hosts which he led so gnIlantly In
his great fight for governor in
1895. Ole word from him will grlya.

FINANCIAL TROUBLE IN MANILA.

In view of the promise made in
the official proclamation of the
Philippine Commission. issued last
April that "L0cll funds collected
Tor Local purposes, shall not be d.
vcrted to other ends" there is
ground for the complaints at
ManIlI, reported by uncensored
cabIegrams, via Hong Kong, on
account of the action of Gen. Otis
IN using funds collected as local
taxes for the support Of the army.
The country was toll that every
effort would be made BY the admin.
istration to obtain the confidence
of the peaeeable Filipinos. Taking
the taxes collected for loctl benefit
to help support an invading army
will strike mOst persons rs "a very
poor way to obtain the confidence
OF the FIlipinos. 1t wac because
of broken promises that they re.

knowledge that a portion Of The
