The decision Of the Supreme Court
The Town of Weston, the syllabus OF
which is printed in this issue of the
Register, is very important interpre-
tation of the rights of the public in the
matter Of public thoroughfares in cities
and towns, donated to the people for
public use, and effects every incor-
porated town in the State. Here in
Wheeling there have been a number of
cases in which this cause and decision
are pertinent, and others may come
up at any time.

The cost of far-off and long drawn
out colonial wars is strikingly illustrat-

in some respects, except, perhaps, in
the number of Dervishes killed. but the
net cost to England, to say nothing of
the share falling to the Egyptian gov
eminent, has been forty million dol

had decided away all her real estate in
that city and neighborhood, consisting
of about 1000 separate pieces, for edu-

given the city 1877 acres of ground for
a public park. This woman deserves
honorable mention among the philan-

THE SEASONS IN MARTINSBURG.
Martinsburg Herald.
Spring has at last sprung. and is now
sitting, half sheep.shly. on the lap of
summer The cold weather is about over,
for the crickets are chirping and the deep
chested bull frog grumbles from the pond.
Roses are poisoning, and soon the
sweet scented honeysuckle will push its
tender arms about post and pillar. How
beautiful and impressive, how precious are
the products of nature. Over all God
reigns and these things are but the evil
dence of his love for mankind. He
moves in mysterious way His wonders
to perform.

FIGURES TO STUDY.

1t has been claimed vOclferOuSly Dy
the Republican press that the passage
of the Dingley tariff bill was essential,
among other things, to the salvation
of the tin plate industry Of this coun-
try. Recently published figures from
the Bureau of Statistics throw some
light upon this proposition. Taking
C 14x20, per box of 100 pounds, as
basis, it is found that in October, 1892,
before the election of Cleveland, the
price was $4.S5. A month after his
election it was $5.05. August 3, 1894,
before the passage of the Wilson tariff
bill, it was $4.721a, and September 7th,
same year, after the passage of that
bill, the price was unchanged. A month
later, however, the price went to $685.,
and there were cries that the industry
was ruined" October 2, 1896, before
the election of Mckinley, the price was
$3.50, and July 2, 1897, before the pas
sage of the Dingley bill, it was 1910,
and remained substantially at that
price until the end of the year. In the
first half of 1898 the price touched
$685. several times, but January 6, 1899
mark it-long after the passage of
the Dingley bill, and when it was in
full operation, the price went to $2.921s,
and before the combine was formed
quotations were as low as $3.50, and
even at this low price there was good
profit for the manufacturers, and many
new plants were erected, here in Wheel
ing as elsewhere If these figures prove
anything they prove that the Wilson
bill did not endanger the tin industry,
and that the howl was purely political
one. The trust has now forced the
price to 81, with prospect of a still
higher rate.

The Great Maro.

Last season Marc. the magician, who opens
the Brockway course in town next week,
Saturday, appeared in many towns in this
part Of the state. among which were Ash
land, Lebanon, Carlisle Eastou, Philadel-
phia and York, in every place making the
hit of the season. In feats of legerdemain
and palming he is beyond of comparison.
With bare arms he walks right down in the
midst of the audience and performs some of
bis most difficult feats. 1t is not amiss to
state here that Marc carries with him what
are beyond doubt the most magnificent and
expensive accessories in the way Of stage
furniture that the world has ever seen. Not
only is Marc y magician but a fnshei
musician as we'll During the evening be
plays on the guitar, mandola, pandora.
masimtO pipes and a one string instrument Of
his own invention which he calls a gogglepy
Again not only is he musician and magician,
but crayon artist equal to the best. Not
only does Marc give you magic, art and
music, but this year he introduces shadow
graphy which, as our readers undoubtedly y
know, is the art of making with the hands
most amusing and grotcsque slhonettes OF
animals. fans, figures and the like. I'M
doubtedly Marc gives the greatest and most
entertaining one man show On the stage TO-
day.

Upon Police.

Deputy Coroner Cardiu and DR. W N.
Stein went to No II North Bridge street last
night for the purpose Of holding an autopsy
upon Carl Wizsotski, who died on Tuesday
night, aud had quite an experience. The
Board of Health refused TO issue a burial
permit in the absence Of certificate OF death.
There was no physician ia attendance aud
Deputy Coroner Cardin would issue no
certificate without first holding an autopsy.
Upon arriving at the place stated. the house
in which the deceased, who was . single man,
boarded, the Deputy Coroner and Dr. Stein
were confronted by a woman who was de-
termined that no autopsy should be held.
When Constable Bolin addressed her she
seized "a lump of ice to throw at him, but it
was too cold to hold long enough to
take aim aud she dropped it, The
Deputy saw that heroic measures were neces
sary TO deal with the woman, so he sent Com
stable Bolin for police assistance and the
officer returned to the house with Policemen
Murphy, Foyle, MulIahy aud Hand As the
police stood on guard and kept the trouble
some woman at bay the autopsy WAS pro-
ceeded with and death was found to be due
TO consumption and heart trouble, Having
failed to stop the autopsy the woman decided
to wreak vengeance on the corpse. She told
the doctor to hurry up with his work and she
would throw the body out of the house, but
some of her friends succeeded in causing her
to change her mind. The body is still at the
place and will he buried tomorrow.

The Cast of the Oneretra.

The story of the operetta Ferdinand and
the Enchanted Sword,' is not quite as fa-
miliar to everybody as Cinderella
of course, but it is fairy story
presenting the same essential features of
plot play, music and moral. 1t is more
elaborate. but in no sense heavy or tragical.
An exceptionally strong cast has been secured,
all chosen ON account of peculiar fitness of
disposition and gifts as well as musical
ability. After this all that is needed is hard
work i. O., numberless rehearsals, elaborate
and beautiful costumes and brilliant stage
effects in order to make the operetta the
little gem that it is intended to be. This is
going on with gratifying success. The parts
are taken as follows: Prince Ferdinand,
James Hough Cabolo, the Magician, Thomas
Timmins Princess Helena, Miss Maud
Gilpin; Hecate, the Witch, Miss Bessie Rowe;
Titania, the Fairy Queen, Miss Media Jacobs;
Wood Sprites, Wash, Orme, Joseph Jones,
