TWENTY PER CENT OFF.
The Street Car Strike Precipitates Rich
Bargain offerings at Shelf Brothers.

The street car strike is likely to
prove an indirect but very positive ben
eft to a large number OF people in
Wheeling and vicinity. Shelf Bros,
the enterprising jewelers., are well
known as heavy jewelry buyers. This
year, encouraged by an unusually good
Christmas and early spring business
they laid in an extraordinarily large
stock of diamonds. watches and fine
jewelry of every description. The
street car strike came on with the par
alyzing effects on business, and the big
stock of fine jewelry has not been
going fast enough. Shelf Bros. will
not carry stock. If it does not sell at
one price they make it sell at another,
and so tomorrow (Monday), they will
inaugurate a 20 per cent discount sale.
This is rare chance for genuine jew
elry bargains. 1t means one-ffth off
the sale price of over $50, 900 worth of
fine jewelry, diamonds and watches.
1t means that set of silver spoons
that sold for $500 can now be bought
for 1920; set of Rogers knives and
forks that sold for $3.50 can at this sale
be bought for $3.50. A watch that sold
for $40 can be bought for SIC and so
on, one-fifth off the price of every
article in the store, except Columbia
and Spalding bicycles. Shelf Bros
carry the largest and finest stock Of
jewelry and diamonds in the city and
this is splendid bargain opportunity.

The annual sommernachtsfest of The
Opera House band and orchestra at
Wheeling Park was one of the notable
events Of the week in fashionable cir
cles. The musical ability of the or
ganization was sufficient to attract
lovers of melody, while the knowledge
that the affair was certain to be select
with reference to the attendance in
sured the presence of a congenial
throng. The original date set was
Wednesday, but the inclemency of the
weather necessitated postponement
until Friday. The GOODNESS of the ev-
ening somewhat marred its success,
and all who attended found spring
wraps very comfortable. The concert
was given from the new band stand
in the enclosure, the programme here
tofore published being rendered with
the skill characteristic of the Opera
House band. The enclosure was illum-
mated by electricity and colored
lamps suspended from the arches, max
ing promenades very inviting and
pleasant Later in the evening the
orchestra took up a position on the
stage of the Casino, and rendered tune
full selections to which dancing was in
Gulged in until after midnight. Sup
per was served throughout the even
ing in the Casino cafe. Special w &
e. G. cars brought the crowd back to
the city at the conclusion Of the enter
tainment.

Although the nights have been cool,
and the weather generally unpropit-
ious, the first really notable out-of- door
entertainments were given during the
past week, and considering the adverse
circumstances, they were very success
full. The clubs which collectively
formed such an important factor in
the winter social season, have all dis
continued their weekly and fortnightly
meetings. The summer season is here,
the season of outings and lawn fetes,
of sojourns in the mountains and at
the seashore. Just now the commence
ment period demands a share, of the
attention of society, and the friends
of the sweet girl graduate, who'is to be
the fair debutante of the next season,
are concerned as much about her APP
pearance during the closing exercises,
as about the degree Of credit with
which she will acquit herself in her
self-imposed task of settling the
weighty questions which have puzzled
the brains of the philosophers and
wise men from time immemorlal. All
this week there will be comic opera at
the Wheeling Park Casino, and every
indication points to the Succession the
engagement.

And talked of hubs and spokes
Ard frames and handle bars and laughed
AT stupid cycle jokes;

And clean her chain and she
Would render ample payment in
Sweet smiles bestowed on me.
This year we fiirt aipon the Inks

When next year comes will she
Still as the cat plays, with the mouse,
Be playing on with me?
