Sistersville is happy over the passage of
the city charter, and particularly pleased
because it makes local regulation of
licenses possible. The charter was not
passed through any work on the part of
the Rev. A. L.. Hughes, the Tyler county
delegate, nor was it passed in spite of
him. Mr.. Hughes was conspicuous by
his absence when the matter was under
consideration, and thereby hangs a tale.
1t is understood that a deal was made in
Tyler county, in which a number of State
Mr.. Hughes was not to oppose the Sisters
vile charter, and thereby was to secure
the votes of the element particularly in
terested in its passage. But for Mr..
Stephens, of Wetzel, who introduced the
bill, and worked hard to put it through
both branches, the goods would not nave
been delivered. Mr.. Stephens was thor
oughly familiar with the situation in Sis
tersville, and knew that the charter was
earnestly desired by citizens generally.
Mr.. BIackmere, of Sistersville, in a card
published in the Oil Review, asserted that
Mr.. Howard had finally accepted the bill
originally prepared by him, which gives
the County Court the authority to grant

Anent the case of the war Senator's,
a member of the State Senate said to-day:
The Republicans have no ground to
stand upon in these cases, and they re-
alize it. There can be no question that
Ge%tzendanner and Person vacated their
seats when they accepted army commits
sions. Attorney General Rucker made
but one point in his agreement before the
committee. It was his contention that
their disqualification, if it ever existed,
ceased when they resigned their commits
sions. Suppose the Governor had appoint
ed all the hOld-over Senator's. Then there
would not AVE been a quorum in the
Senate, if the military hold-overs were
engaged in fighting the enemy. If Get
zendanner and Pierson were engaged in
active military duty in Charleston, the
Senate could not have compelled their
attendance at its sessions. If they had
been in Cuba, their districts would have
been without their proper representation.
The law plainly states that a man va
Gates his seat when he loses his resi-
dence in the district he represents, yet
there would be as much justice in a Sen
ator moving out of the State. and then
returning to his district before the meet
ing of the Legislature, and claiming resi-
dence and eligibility, as there is IN the
Republican position regarding Getzen-
banner and Person

Senator'S pending the determination of
their contest by the Senate committee on
privileges and elections. This course of
procedure is customary, but Republican
opposition is anticipated on account of the
rather peculiar nature of these contest
cases. Senators Whitaker and Fast are
understood to be IN favor of allowing the
claims of Campbell n Stephenson, and
they are the most influential members on
the majority side.

bills to tax the telegraph and express
monopolies will nevertheless rest solely
with the Republican Senate. There is
a feeling Of the House against the omni-
bus bill, but it is not indicative of a
sentiment favorable to the monopolies,
although an effort will be made to place
that construction upon it.
Senator Osenton, who has been a con-
spicuous figure in the fight against the
monopolies, stated to the Register man
that the act of the State Senate will
PREVENT ANY LEGISLATION
to compel the corporations to pay taxes,
at this session. He adds that he will
not yield an inch, but will take up the
fight again in two years.
NJ. T. Tighe and T. V. Salisbury, who
represent the Ohio Valley Trades AS
sembly, are closely watching the pro-
ceedings. Mr.. Tighe states that he
will keep the record of every member
upon questions affecting the masses,
and that the labor interests will fight,
not parties, but individuals, in future
State campaigns. This plan will be the
publication and distribution of circu-
lars showing the records of candidates
for party nominations in the different
counties.
Mr.. Mansfeld's very meritoneous bill
for the reassessment of property for
purposes of taxation, will yet become a
law. The Senate Conference Commit
tee decided to recede in the matter of
the amendments which was placed upon
the bill for partisan advantage. The
measure will become a law in virtual
ly its original form.
The valued policy insurance bill, was
brought up in the Senate to-day upon a
reconsideration of the vote by which it
was rejected. 1t was advanced to its
third reading by a vote of II to II. Up
on a motion to postpone the announce
ment of the vote until tomorrow, Sen
ator Baker, of Grant, voted with the
enemies of the bin, so that it's fate is
o yet determined.
The Wheeling bridge bill was advanc-
ed to its third reading to-day and will
pass within a day or two.

him she will soon be free to marry

betrothed to Juliette, the daughter of
provincial innkeeper, and that
Adolphe intends to present his be-
trothed's family to Leonie, introducing
her as his sister. hoping her affiuent
appearance may give him caste. Leonie
incensed by his faithlessness, retaliates
by exhibiting to Juliette a love letter
OF Adolphe's, wherein he had presumed

The scene changes to the bridal

1t is pity that the American pub
fishers of "The Hooligan Nights" did not
include young Alf's portrait, drawn by
William Nicholson, which appears as
frontispiece in the English edition. The
portrait resembles almost in every de-
tail those strange figures which Robert
BroWning's father used to draw. The
Bookman, it may be remembered May
1920, published some of these grotesque
types, with the inscriptions which the
artist added to them; and in the album
from which the drawings were taken
there were faces not less weird and
strange than that of Mr.. Nicholson S
Hooligan. The recollection of this to-
gether with the fact that Mr.. Brown
ing's father was a Walworth man, and
that the Hooligans have their haunts in
Walworth and Lambeth, suggests the
question, Did Mr.. Browning, senior,
know these types and in his sketches
make himself their interpreter?

The secret of the success Of the Hia-
~atha Primer in English is due largely
70 the sustained interest and respect
aroused on the part of the pupil during
that part of his progress where a con-
tlnued repetition of the new words he
is learning appears to be necessary. a
bright teacher in city where there are
each year 10000 children about ten
years old, who begin the study of Ger
man, thinking that the same sort of
continued interest was needed in the
study of German, translated a portion
OF the primer into German and gave it
trial. The result Of this experiment.
was such a marked success that the
publishers. at once decided to issue the
