feet apart at the intersection of Bank

is narrowed down to thirty feet, leav-
ing the sidewalks more than half as
wide as the street in many places.
With the street cars running the driver
of team would just have enough road
way to pass them, but a load of hay

have to back down an alley to allow
the other to pass. A few sidings at reg

A CLASS OF THREE RECEIVED
DIPLOMAS.

The fourth annual commencement of the
McMechen High School was held at the
Methodist Episcopal church last evening
and was attended by very large audi
ence, composed of the relatives and
friends of the various graduates and the
pupils of the school. The exercises were
of most pleasing nature, including
number of rare musical selections by
Mayors orchestra. of Wheeling.
The graduating class, composed of Jes-
sic May Hendrix, Ellen Theresa Dono-
van. and John Blaine MARBLE, all acquitted
themselves in very commendable man
ner in their respective parts in the pro-
gramme, and won the admiration of all
present. The interior of the edifice was
adorned in streamers OF the American
colors and pink and blue, the class col.
ors and potted plants of various species,
presenting very charming appearance.
The exercises were opened at eight
O'Clock with the rendition of Sousa's
Glass of '99 March, which was followed
by an invocation by Rev. George w.
Bente, pastor of the Benwood NJ E.
church. The selection entitled, THE Win

which Jessie May Hendrix gave an ora

her remarks were well formed and teem-
ing with deep thought. After another mu-
steal selection an Grafton on Labor Con-
quers all Things was delivered by Ellen
theresa Donovan, whose efforts very fav-
orably impressed the hearers. Her views
on the topic were broad and clear and
her delivery excellent. The orchestra
then played Schreppgrelle's selection, en-
titled THE Home Circle which was fol-

every industry in the State will be af-

The strike is due to the refusal of the

has paid heretofore for ten or twelve
hours

THE WORK OF THE WIND.

The appalling devastation wrought
by the late series of cyclones in Wis
consin and Nebraska can scarcely be
even imagined here in the Ohio valley,
where the shelter of our surrounding
hills makes even high wind a rarity,
and anything like ''twister' practi-
cally unknown, our only experience
having been the streak of wind which
swept through Clark's addition to Mar
tins Ferry dozen years ago.
At New Richmond. Wis. the town
was almost wiped off the face of the
earth, five hundred buildings being
demolished, while the list of killed
alone is nearly or quite one hundred.
Four squares of solidly constructed
brick and stone buildings were cleared
in a fraction of a minute. only cellars
and debris being left to mark the spot
where the houses had stood. Iron safes
were blown a block, and human be-
ings had their limbs and even heads
torn from the bodies. and were often
mashed and crushed until unrecogniz-
able. Herman, Washington county,
Nebraska, was obliterated, and twelve
people were killed and more than one
hundred wounded out of total popula-
ton of three hundred Some other
towns, over widely scattered area of
country, also Jared badly, and it will
take days to ascertain the actual loss
OF life alone. while the property loss
will probably never be known.
Nothing is to be suggested, unfortu-
nately, by way of prevention. Human
ity can guard against fire, and to some
extent against flood, but the wind
which sweeps out of the cloud comes
unheralded, and in few seconds the
labors of a generation are undone, and
killed and manned men. women and
children and a few scattered and worth
less debris mark the site of what was
once prosperous town. All humanity
appears able to do is to bury the dead,
care for the wounded and afford the
sufferers generally such aid as shall
enable them to reconstruct their ruined
homes

General Weyler once made cam

the largest Of the Philippine group, for
which he made great preparations, and
concentrated for the purpose every
available man. The enemy simply ran
away, and Weyler lost eighty per cent.
Of his forces from starvation and fever.
We have succeeded to Weyler and the
Spanish in the Philippines, at a price,
and good American lives are paying the
penalty.
