The funeral of the late Col. Craw-
ford took place from the residence of
his sister, Mrs. Henry Krebs, of Boggs
Run, yesterday afternoon at 1880
o'clock. Services were held over the
body at the NJ. E. Church at 2 o'clock
and the interment was at the Nc
Mechen cemetery. The services were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. George
w. Bent, and were attended by the
many eondoling relatives and friends
of the deceased. In his sermon, the
minister spoke very touchingly of the
many noble characteristics of the de-
ceased, as serving to endear him to the
hearts of all with whom he became as
sociated. During the ceremonies the
choir rendered several pleasing selec-
tons. The workmen of the Wheeling
steel plant, where Mr.. Crawford was
employed, turned out in a body and
headed by the Hackett band, of Bell
aire, accompanied the remains to their
last resting place. The pallbearers
were Messrs. Will Bearn, George Ed
wards, Harry Bondey, George Wines
berger, Will DAILY and Adam Vans
feldt.

Pursuing It's policy of enlightening
the public as to the results of the re-
valuation of real estate in Ohio coun-
ty, the Register this morning gives
about one hundred names of property
owners outside the city of Wheeling,
with the old and new figures.
The district dealt with is Triadel-
phia, and the first two letters of the
alphabet are taken. The property fol-
lowing under these divisions Is located
in every portion of the district, and is
representative of that entire division
of the county.
An analysis of the figures shows
that in nine cases out of ten there
was an increase running from purely
nominal figures up to as high as 1000
per cent, while increases of so to $50
per cent are not infrequent. The fig
IrpS fell their own story.

George H. Broadhurst, and is one of
those complicated mix-ups so often en-
countered in the field of farce. The
plot of the play Of this kind matters
little if the situations are funny, the
dialogue clever, the characters humor-

frequent With all those elements the
average audience is satisfied, and
Jones' is said to supply them in allo-

The special committee on parade, on
the Washington's Birthday celebra-
ton in honor of Admiral George
Dewey, has not yet been appointed.
The most vexatious proDi-ln which
will confront the committee when it
meets will be the route of march.
Chairman Garvin, of the general COM
mitxee, has received a number of re-
quests from South Side organizations
to extend the march into the Eighth
ward. Some of the acceptances make
the number of men in line from GER
tain organizations conditional upon the
length of the route.
During recent years a sentiment fav-
orable to short parades has crystal
lized, and marches have seldom ex-
tended further south than Twenty
fourth street. In the case of the
Dewey parade. it is likely hat the
length of the column will neeessitate
an extension of this route. On the
other hand, a long march would I'M
the Civil War, who will turn out in
large numbers, as we'll as upon the
school children, who are expected to
form a division In the parade. The
committee will carefully consider these
matters, as well as the requests from
South Side organizations, and follow
the wisest course under the circum-
stances. 1t is hoped that the South
Side organizations will view the mat
ter in all it's phases, and that no I'M
pleasantness will result from the ac>
ton of the committee.
A communication was received
yesterday from j. A. Weitzel, captain
Of Lafayette commandery, knights Of
St John, stating that he had invited
societies of the order from different
portions Of that State, and has re-
ceived a favorable reply from Man
nington- Mr.. Weitzel's suggestion that
the various Communicates of the
Knights Of st. John, together with
the Ancient Order of Hibernians and
the Cathedral High School Cadets con-
stitute one division, will doubtless be
favorably acted upon. The Knights OF
Pythias have also requested that their
order constitute a single division.
Representatives of the German sing
ing societies Of the city stated yester-
day that their large male chorus will
render selections provided the weather
is favorable. Preparations are being
made for this feature.
A favorable reply was received from
Mr.. w. H. Van Tine. Of Pittsburg,
who has been asked to serve upon the
committee on decorations. He will
meet with the committee. and will
doubtless have some valuable sugges
tons to offer.

A STATE CONVENTION

of CoIored Men Called to Meet Mt
Parkersburg.
The colored club of M%oundsville is
making preparations to call a owen
ton of all the colored voters of the
State. The convention will onven
at Parkersburg some time in April,
but the exact time cannot be- learned
as yet.
The call for this convention has
grown from Warden Hawks refusal to
give the colored supply guard, Sam
Johnson, work when 1t is his power
to do it.. Mr.. Johnson has only had
four days work in the last two
months, and the alleged bad treatment
of some of the colored prisoners by
Captain Reese is another good cause
for the convention. Mr.. Reese is the
the colored club is after. and if the
club cannot secure their demands they
will call the convention, and as Mr..
Hawk is a candidate for State Aud

possible to defeat him. The president
of the club came to this city Saturday,
looking after the interests of the club,
and will go out the B. & o. some time
this week to consult with Fairmont,
Clarksburg and other colored men, as
the above named towns are somewhat
worked up about the action of the
board of directors and Capt. Reese.
Mr.. Adams, the president of the club,
would not give the exact date of the
proposed trip. but said he meant bus
mess, and nothing would do in the way
of a compromise but the removal OF
Captain Reese. The call is signed:

The story of "a Bachelors Romance
briefly told deals with David Holmes,
q literary artist and editor of "The
Review" who has been left as the guar
dian of Sylvia Somers, the daughter OF
his very dear friend. David has never
seen his ward and is SO occupied in his
work that time slips away, and he for
gets she has become a young woman
until he is reminded of it by Sylvia
presenting herself to him without his
knowledge of who she is until inform
ed by her aunt, Miss Clementina. Syl-
via is attracted to David by his quaint,
ol~d-fashioned manner and kindly ways
and gradually falls in love with him.
David is also attracted to Sylvia but
being nearly twice her age, is afraid
to confess it to her, thinking Harold
Reynolds, a young reporter, is the one
she loves. This is the thread of a very
beautiful comedy running through four
acts full OF pathos and humor. The
character of David Holmes was that
portrayed by Mr.. Sol. Smith Russell for
three successful seasons. The Players
will be seen Thursday night, in "A
Bachelors Romance" the first and
only performance to be given by them
this season. Seats go on sale Wednes-
day morning. January 31st, at Opera
House box Office.

that they have in this campaign to con-

The fellows who failed to secure the little

this. and 1t is this fact that has caused
them to send out the cry of alarm In

Tho Foot OF the Reindeer,

Everything in any way connected
with Alaska and the Klondike is OF
interest. and among other items the
foot of the reindeer deserves particu-
lar mention. The forefoot of the horse
to a great extent determines its value.
as upon this portion of its anatomy it's
speed and. endurance depend. The foot
of the reindeer is most peculiar in con-
struction. 1t is cloven through the
middle, and each half curves upward
in front. They are slightly elongated
and capable of a considerable amount
of expansion. When placed on an ir-
regular surface. which is difficult to
traverse. the animal contracts them
into a sort OF claw, by which firm
hold Is secured. When moving rapid
ly the two portions Of the foot, as 1t
is lifting, strike together, the hoofs
making a continuous Gathering noise,
which may be heard at a considerable
distance. 1t is this popularity of the
feet that makes the reindeer SO sure
footed and so valuable in the rocky
and uneven country. where almost any
other animal would prove a failure as
a beast Of burden.

he was not sure but that he loved her
very deeply indeed.
Don't throw the devotion of your
slave back in his face by calling II
friendship" he said. "Lillie," He laid
down his cup now, and leaned toward
her to get glimpse of the fair faci
behind the fan she had opened and wal
fiuttering nervously.
Lille, won't you believe me? You
hold my happiness in your hands: my
life Is yours to do what you will with;
but want my wages as much as any
one of your natives-I want the gift OF
this hand and the heart that owns it,"
He had risen now, and, standing over
her, had imprisoned the white fingers
that held the fan with a masterful air
that bespoke all the ardor of a deter
mined lover. Did Lilies thoughts fly
back TO another night in the far past.
when thus another Gordon had stood
over her and claimed the love he be-
lieved to be his?
But this was not the same Lille who
had allowed Roddy Gordon to think
her heart won to his keeping who
looked up now in the eyes of Roddy's
kinsman.
Love had taught her its mystic les
son, and she knew now that it was to
Don Gordon alone her heart must be
surrendered for all time
