notice from The Washington Post that
Miss Male O'Connor, of our city, one
of the alumnae of the institution, was
one of the assistants to the reception
committee.
Among the musical numbers of the
interesting and extensive programme, a
vocal duo, "Qui Est Homo" from Sta

and Miss Rose Kearney. High compli-
ments were showered upon the sing
ers.
Cardinal Gibbons attended the cele-
bratl.n and delivered a beautiful ad-

in the bridge over the creek, which the
commissioners have done, and conse-
quently some truck, from that district,
will reach the city by boat. However,
Mr.. Keith said, the chamber could
make a recommendation and then turn
the matter over to the city officials
ExAMayor Fishblate concurred with
Mr.. Wescott's motion to accept the re-
DOR. but thought that then it should
be referred back TO the committee for
more definite investigation as to price,
etc.
Mr.. Martin stated that he didn't think
t, q ferry company would quote a price
except to those in power to buy, and
as the city officials only, in this case,
possessed that power, he thought it
best to have the matter presented to
the board Of aldermen by a commit
tee of five of the representative mem
bers of the chamber. He offered his
views as an amendment to Mr.. Yves
colts motion, which was accepted and
adopted by the chamber.
To constitute the committee called for
by the motion Vice-President jacob
appointed Messrs. Geo. r. French, Ga
briel Holmes, D. L. Gore, B. F. Keith
and j. b. Mercer.

sent itself was one that did not by any
meet the approval of the cham
Der. 1t was the resignation of the ef1-
cient and popular president, Mr.. w. E.
Worth, but the meeting resolved not to
accept it if possible.
Mr. Core pOvpd 70 table in and Mr..
Keith amended the motion by adding
that a committee Of three be appointed
to see President Worth and induce him
if possible, to withdraw the resignation.
The motion, as amended, was unani-
mously carried, and the committee was
composed of Messrs. 3. F. Keith, Geo.
r. French and d. L. Gore.
President Worth's resignation was q
written one, in which he assigned lack
Of time to properly administer the du-
ties of the office as lis reason for his
resignation. He expressed his appreci-
alton at being selected as president and
the very high honor he esteemed it to
hold the position.
OTHER MATTERS.
Mr.. French reported for the commit
tee appointed on the reception Of the
Association of Railway Telegraph Sup
~erintendents. He stated that the pro-
gramme arranged for the entertain
ment of the telegraphists was success
fully carried out, which resulted in the
knights of the key being given a
royal time.
For the encampment committee Vice
President jacob reported progress.
A terse letter of acceptance of a
membership to the chamber was re-
ceived from Major E. W. Van G.. Lucas,

Would Not Sufer So Again for Fifty
Times Its Price.

1 awoke last night with severe pains
in my stomach. I never felt so badly
in all my life. When I came down to
work this morning I felt so weak I
could hardly work. I went to Miller
& McCurdy's drug store and they re-
commended Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked
like magic and one dose fixed me all
right. 1t certainly is the finest thing
I ever used for stomach trouble. I shall
not be without it in my home here
after, for I should not care to endure
the sufferings of last night again for
fifty times it's price.-G. H. Wilson, Liv-
eryman, Burgettstown, Washington
