ANOTHER WAY
To Dispose Of the Surplus Of the Chad
wick Fund.

Under the auspices of the Woman
Christian Temperance Union, {
meeting of the Loyal TemperanceLe
gion was held at the Public schoo
building Monday afternoon. Over
fifty children were present and en-
listed, and officers were appointed
The exercises were interesting, con
sisting OF lessons, singing, marching
and military drill, and talk to the
recruits.
At the same meeting the prelimi-
nary steps were taken by the mem
bers OF the Union to establish Ii
brary for the use OF the pupils Of the
Public Schools. Nearly fifty vol
umes of attractive books and many
magazines. and some money, were
donated The Trustees of the School
District will be asked to set apart a
room with suitable book cases, tables
and chairs, and to heat and care for
the same, in which the books, maya
zines and other periodicals may be
properly kept and be accessible to
the children attending school.
In this connection, lady much
interested in the library scheme sug-
gested that the surplus of the Chad
wick Sword Fund, amounting to
about $500 could not be expended
more appropriately and usefully
than In buying books and periodi-
Gals for this library.
When subsequently seen, all the
members of the Executive Commit
tee who expressed an opinion, de-
clarcd this to be most happy
thought and the best way TO invest
the money.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 5.--N. j..
Scott was yesterday sworn in IS
Senator from West Virginia, to su
coed Charles j. Faulkner. No Of
lection was raised on the Demeera
ic side nor was any other action Ia
en- in the matter of the protest of
John T. McGraw against Scott.
An effort has been made by SCOTS
friends, headed by Senator Elkins,
to give partisan aspect to the case
by a threat to object to the swearing
in of senator Clark, of Montana,
Democrat against whom charges arc
pending, if objection was made to the
swearing in of Scott. For this rec
son, it was agreed that no objection
should be made to the taking of the
oath by either Senator. both of whom
are now deracto members of the Sem
ate.
But the mere fact that Senator
Scott has taken the oath OF office
does not in any way affect the Nc
Graw protest, nor does it settle the
question as to the validity of Seott's
election. All this remains to be de-
termined, and McGraw and his at
torneys are confident that they will
obtain "a hearing before the Senate
Cammittee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, and that if they do, they will
convince the members of that com
mittee that Scott should be unseat-
ed.
The Senate could not very well re-
fuse Scott admission to the Senate
| chamber, inasmuch as he is in pos
session of legals credentials, but the
Senate can and undoubtedly will
inquire into the validity of his cleo
ton, and has full power to declare
Scott's seat vacant on proper show
ing of the reasons for so doing.
Judge John Brannon has submit
ted an able brief in the McGraw

to a consideration of the eligibility
of Pierson and Getzendanner, the So
called war Senators, who, in Judge
Brannon's opinion, had no more
right to vote for Scott than had the
inhabitants of Borneo. He main
tains that these two Senators ipso
facto vacated their respective offices
of State Senators by accepting com
missions in the volunteer army.
In the House General Henderso l
was elected speaker unanimously.
Congressman Roberts, of Utah,
was stood aside to await full in
vestigation by special committee.
Congressman Taylor, of Ohio, Rep
entered the formal protest, and Con-
gresham MeRae, dem. of Arkan-
sas, voiced similar sentiment for b !
side OF the House.

ROMATIC TALE
OF How Lloyd Lowndes, Jr., Came to
Meet and Marry Miss Quinn, Of Chill
Ijc0thp.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, December A.
If Lloyd Lowndes, jr., had not had
twin brother Richard, he might
not have been married at Chillicothe,
Ohio, last week. The twins are sons
of Gov. Lowndes of Maryland. The
bride was Miss May Campbell
Quinn, daughter of j. c. Quinn, vice
president of the First National bank
of Chillicothe.
Lloyd and Richard Lowndes have
often been mistaken for each other.
Richard has been married several
years. Recently he was going west
when he was approached on the
train by young man who slapped
him Familiarity on the back and said
Hello, Lloyd, you are going to
pass through my town and l want
you to stop of and spend the night
with me-
Richard said he was not Lloyd.
but the other insisted that he
was. Richard allowed himself to
be persuaded to stop over at
Chillicothe. Among the people he
met there was Miss Quinn, to whom
he was introduced as his hosts old
college chum, Lloyd Lowndes. His
account of his visit interested his
brother so much that he entered in
to correspondence with Miss Quinn
and finally went to Chillicothe to
visit her. 1t is related that Miss
Quinn did not discover the difference
between the two brothers and that
when Lloyd finally told her, he had
hard time to convince her of the
truth.

nestly devoted herself to the cares of II
wife, as far as her health would permit
Her health began to fail the summer
before her marriage, and continued to
grow worse in spite of the physician J
skill till she became unable to care for
her house hold, and her husband hav-
ing considerable work with his teams
away from home she desired to go to
her parental home thinking she would
be better satisfied than to stay with a
nurse till he could be at home with her.
And she insisted on him getting his
work done 30 she could return hom g
with him.
She thought she would get well dur
ing all her sickness and the week before
her death she thought she was conval-
escing till on Sunday about noon she
called her husband to her bed side and
asked him if he thought she would die.
At about one o'clock on the morning of
the goth of November 1899, she called
all her friends to her bed side and re-
quested them to keep her body two
days before interment, and to dress her
in white, and to have the coffin white

her pail bearers, who were Misses
Ida Martin, Otie Sine, Flora Henkins,
Norah Weekly, and Alice and Haddie
Wade. And she gave her child Rosa
Gale to her parents to comfort them in
their old age and then passed away
calmly as if going to sleep.
Her body was taken by A. A. Wade
undertaken to Olive church where the
funeral services was conducted by Rev.
Geo. Fl. Williams at about eleven
O'Clock on November 23rd, after which
her body was inferred in the Wade bur-
rying ground Greene County Pa.
Her child was born March 23rd 1898
making it 20 months old on the day OF
its mothers interment.
Gone from friends and earth dear one,
Gone from thee to God on high,
Gone to live in a mansion OF splendor,
In that city of Christ's above.
Waited to heaven on wings her spirit,
Angels of Glory directed it there;
With sad memories we ever shall cher
ish,
Till We behold thee with Christ above.
Called away from husband and Rosa,
By her God of truth and right;
But His care will still direct you,
If you will only, trust Him true.
A FRIEND,
Blacksmith, w. Va.

UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS.
Football Season is Closed With
Waynesbu-g Game.

Men are in No Condition aud They are
wsynesbnrg Beats US For
The first and 0E;y lime-Basket
BAH Looming up Baseball will Re-
yife Faded blories.
The football team has disbanded
for the season They were defeated
at Waynesburg by score of twenty
10 nothing The team was outclass-
ed by the well trained college boys
and they could do nothing with the
PUSHES OF the heavy men. The Greene
county boys had plenty of outside as
sistanee and ia the weakened condi-
tion of the Varsity it was no trick at
all to beat them.
1t is to be hoped that next year
there will be a better team. There
will be more old players in school than
there were at the opening Of the pres
ent year and they will get to work
earlier and 10 better earnest. The
mistakes aud drawbacks that the team
has had to deal with this year have
been costly ones but they will no
doubt extract profit from the expe-
rience.
The coach will be given the men
when the season opens and they will
be run in earlier than they were this
year. A thorough course of training
will be given them. This year every
thing has been against the training
Of the team and they haven't had a
fair chance to show what was in
them Next year the grass will have
grown on the field and they will get
it to practice on and perhaps they will
be able to develop their talent prop
erly.
Basketball has been taken up and
several teams have been formed. An
interesting series of games will be ar
ranged and some very warm contests
are promised. 1t is hoped that the
representatives of this branch of sport
will be able to make matches with
outside college teams and have regu.
lar inter collegiate contests.
The indications for first class base
ball team were never better and we
will have an invincible organization
next season. A long list of games
will be arranged by Manager Donahay
who has chargc of the team this year
and they will take another eastern
and western trip as they did last year.
This time they will win more games
than they did last year although they
did very well then.
They took more than half the games
they played last season and when it il
remembered that great majority OF
the games were played on strang
ground it will be seen that they mad ,
very fine record. Most OF the old
team will be back and the representa-
tives that are back are the pick oil
the men last year. These players will
be supplemented by Others who are
known intend TO enter school. Be-
sides these Others who will be devel-
oped later will help to victory.
Taking it all in all the future fol
athletics at the University is certainly
brighter than the past which Is full
of glorious achievements in every de-
partment of sport.
