The board of directors of the Wheel
ing District Campmeeting Association
has fixed date for the next campmeet-
ing on the Moundsville grounds, and
has also outlined plans with reference
to the religious service. The next meet
ing will open August 18th and will
continue ten days, as heretofore. A
committee has been appointed to enlist
the services of men who are prominent
in church work, to address the meet
ings. 1t is likely that one Of the min
listers to be secured will be the Rev.
Dr. J. w. Hill, a poted pulpit orator
Of Fostoria, O., who will be in the city
very shortly. The Association is trying
to unite upon a plan for removing the
present Indebtedness upon the camp
ground property during the coming
summer. The ladies' association, an
auxiliary body, has volunteered its as
sistance. 1t is more than likely that
some idea will find favor, which will
result in the liquidation of the debt
of the Association. Another meeting
will be held on the camp grounds with
in a few days.

1t is hardly necessary to say anything
in regard to the great American Uni
versity as its origin a few years ago
is known throughout the country. The
subscriptions for the College of His
tory, the first building, was commenced
early in 1895 and the building itself
completed on February I, 1898, at the
cost of 100000. The site consists of
81 acres at the northwest end of Mas
sachusetts avenue in Washington City,
overlooking the city, and large tract
of surrounding country The motto of
tria," ("For God and country.O The
idea of its founder is to give to all
students who have received their first
degree a postgraduate course. Other
buildings now being erected on the site
are the Indiana Institute of Technique,
New York College of Liberal Arts, Ill
inois Hall of Languages, Ohio College
of Government, and Pennsylvania Hall
of Administration. 1t is the heartfelt
desire of the Trustees to have West
Virginia represented In the group of
college buildings. This will take at
least 100000. A great effort by
the church will be made all over the
State to raise that amount or even
more.

the Riverside steel and iron works, held
a conference with a committee of the
employees Of the Riverside steel depart
ment yesterday afternoon at o'clock
at the company's Office at the corner Of
Main and South streets, for the purpose
of considering matters concerning the
tonnage mems desire for an advance
in wages of ten per cent. and restora-
ton of the day mems wages from the
last reduction. Manager Hearne was
interviewed by a. Register reporter last
evening in regard to the result of the
conference, but positively refused to
disclose anything appertaining thereto
However, his remarks were sufficiently
insinuative as to convince one that no
definite conclusion had been reached,
and that only steps of a preliminary
nature had been taken in the matter
at the conference. Manager Hearne
further stated that he would not be in
a position to submit anything concern
ing his business to the public until
March Goth, on which date the thirty
days time. which the steel workers
granted the company for considera-
ton of their desire for an advance, as
mentioned, will have expired.
