DEW Ely DAY
Will Probably Witness the Biggest
Demonstration in the History of
Wheeling - Arrangements AL
ready Being Made to Receive the
Admiral.

Holiday Post, G. A. R., held a meet
ing Saturday evening, and appointed a
committee of five to arrange for the CO.
operation of all old soldiers in this
vicinity, in arranging a fitting recep-
ton to Admiral George Dewey, upon
the occasion Of his visit to Wheeling,
February 22d. The committee will hold
its first meeting this evening, for the
purpose of formulating programme
Wheeling citizens will undoubtedly
unite in the biggest demonstration in
the history of the city on Washington's
Birthday. The placing in position of
the Fort Henry memorial tablet, and
the presentation of the sword to Lieut..
Doddridge, will be dual event of suf-
ficient Importance to justify such an
elaborate celebration. When it is add
ed that Admiral George Dewey, the hero
of the Spanish-American war, and the
nations idol, will be the city's guest it
need hardly be said that all classes viii,
manifest willingness to assist In
whatever programme may be mapped
out for the day. Dewey's visit will be
an honor which is very f1attering to
community of such size as Wheeling.
While no programme has yet been
outlined, the suggestion that a big
street demonstration be given, has met
with popular favor. The Dewey Day
celebration is still fresh in the memory
of the public. The parade was one of
the largest ever given in the city.
With such honor paid to an absent
hero, the demonstration when he is
present as the city's guest, should
greatly exceed it in elaborateness and
magnitude
The suggestion has also been made
that there be general illumination
of the business section by electricity,
and that the decorations be made upon
more lavish scale than ever before.
The general desire to meet the Adj
miral may induce the committees in
charge to arrange public reception,
but this is a matter of detail which
cannot be determined until the hours
OF arrival and departure Of Dewey are
ascertained.

The trouble in the management Of
boys is that teachers and preachers
have not the cooperation of the home
influences. The only way to raise
boy is to raise him often. If one OF
those old fashioned mothers dropped
her finger on the kid, he knew it was
loaded. The world needs more old fash
Toned mothers and fathers. II you
can't manage your kid, you'd better go
out of the kid business.
We need more honey bees and fewer

was the best woman in the world; she
was not pretty, but ugly is only skin

angry. I'm like the possum was with

but he knew if he eft" he couldn't go

I'm going to vote as pray, or quit

the good God will never run the devil
out of America with the gang that's at
it now.
God bless the Salvation Army! My
only regret now is that, when | got re-

Professionals and Catholics get religion

"She is convalescing," was the answer.
Then he rode off, shook his head sor-

her betrothed on the eve of their we'd
ding that she had a confession to make.
I'm a somnambulist," she said. "Oh,

details, under the circumstances, as at

meeting by the men had not taken
place. Cars continued to run up to
midnight last night, as usual.
That there would be strike was
the popular expectation all during the
day and evening, and the trouble many
felt was coming was matter for dis
cussion all over the city.
The last strike on the line of the
Wheeling Company was inaugurated
the morning Of January %, 1893, and
was attended with considerable popular
excitement and some disorder at times.
The trouble arose from the discharge
of Conductor Edward Smith and Mo-
torman James Murrins, the allegation
of the officers being that they had run
past passengers signalling to stop. AS
soon as the discharge was announced
the men appointed a committee to meet
Superintendent Lotus, but the result
ing conference did not result in an
agreement, and at three o'clock on
the morning of January 22d the strike
was ordered. The strike was settled
ON the evening of April 18th, after some
hot times, by a compromise agreement,
by the terms of which the vacancies
on the line were filled with union msn.
The contest lasted about ninety days
and gave lots of work for police and
reporters while it continued.
