Third and Fourth Wards.

Some time ago We called attention
to the congested condition of these
TWO wards, SO far as relates to voting.
There are between seven and eight
| hundred voters in the Third ward, and
as many, if not more, in the Fourth
ward, and as has well been
said these two wards con
tain half the population OF
the city, with large property and pub,
lie interests at stake. In that article
we stated that there were one hundred
md six days remaining before the next
election for action in the matter of di-
'iding the wards into voting precincts.
Or for creating two new wards. Moth
.ng has thus far been done and there
are now remaining eighty-five (S5)
days before the sixth day of Novem-
Der shall arrive.
The present condition makes the po-
'ition of clerk and judge of election
very irksome and gives the assessors
more than they can do in the time al
!otted to them by law, and do it well.
smaller wards are their only relief
The law provides that the Board of
Elections may, on their own motion,
create new precincts. This is optional
With them. If, however, petition
should be presented signed by two
birds of the voters of precinct, then
he law requires that they shall act
and leaves no option with them as to
whether they will divide the wards or
aot. The City Council has no power
10 create new voting precincts, but has
the power to divide and subdivide
wards by making new wards.
We have spoken in favor of the
Council acting in the matter, because
we believe that the wards are too
large as they now stand, but the main
point Is to get something done before
1t is too late for any relief, as this
matter has been pending now for sew
4ral years, and each year has slipped
by without anything being done.
The Board of Elections as now con-
'tituted, consists of the following gen.
,lemen: j, w. Lansley and William
stephen, OF this city; E. L. Brown, of
Belpre, and Andy Guthberlet, of Inde-
pendence township. With all due def
erence to the judgment and skill of
.hese gentlemen, we think that they
would not be as competent to divide
his city into new voting precincts, in
lsmuch as two of them are outside res
dents, as the members of the City
Council, who were elected by the peo-
pie for just such duties as this. There
ire bound TO be differences of opinion as
TO how this work shall be done, and as
o the boundaries of the new precincts
81 new wards, as you please The
City Council can, by appointing a com
mittee, ascertain the wishes Of the peo-
pie and make division that will be
So also can the Board of
Elections act in the matter, and meet
The wishes Of the people.
We hope that in whatever we have
said no offense has been given and
hat speedy action will be taken in the
limited time remaining. S. ] H.

To the Point.

Center county, Pennsylvania, has a
preacher who talks to the point. He
does not decorate his language with
any ruches. ruffies, or fancy furbelows
but hits straight out from the should
er. In one Of his recent meetings he
put in a hot shot or two, as follows;
Before the stewards take up the col
lection l would like to make few re-
marks. There are 200 persons in the
house, counting saints, sinners, crook
ed and straight, including crying ba-
bies. II each person thinks my sermon
worth a glass of beer, or a nickel, let
him pay that amount. If each pays a
nickel it will make total of $40 this
evening. This repeated every Sunday
would pay my salary. A sermon that
isn't worth a nickel isn't worth com
ing to hear, apd tho person who will
beat the Lord, the printer or the edl-
tor is a goat"

THE GREATEST
WONDER of the
10TH CENTURY,.
Gregg's Light Line
SHORTHAND y

1t has produced a wonderful revolu-
tion in the last year. Its simplicity,
brevity and legibility is the talk OF the
shorthand world. 1t can be mastered
in one-half the time 1t takes to learn
any of the old systems.
The Marietta Commercial College
has adopted it AMI will give 10 per
cent. discount on ali scholarships pur-
chased before September 4th, 1900.
The school is-right up-to-date in ev-
cry department. The demand for stem
ographers and bookkeepers is far
greater than the supply. We have re-
ceived eight calls for help within a
week. Two Of them first-class posi-
tions. Teachers who cannot attend
school should take the Mail Course in
Gregg Shorthand. Write or call for
further particulars.

The afternoon session was called to
order at 1880 by the President, Prof
Startling.
| Prof. Williams again took up the
subject, Methods" and discussed it to
the entertainment and instruction OF
all present Among other things he
said:
"a true teacher must have the true
philosophy of teaching; hence teach
ing is science and is just as firmly
| fixed as almost any other science
known The fundamental laws of
growth in the mental world are Just
the same as the fundamental laws of
growth in the physical world. The
mind at birth is point, as it were.
that has within itself the power of
| self-activity, and grows, buds and
| blossoms just as the seed does in the
physical world. The principal of
growth applies to the teacher Just the
| same as to the pupil; or in othsr
words, true teacher. when she
reaches a certain age is not ready to
be laid aside. Practice makes improve
ment, when the proper application is
made. The successful teacher is the
one who works. the one who has up-to-
date practical ideas"
Er. Hinsdale resumed his talk of the
