lines and his band will be here again
for short stay in Wheeling No doubt
they will receive a rousing welcome. Many
fresh triumphs have come TO them since
they were last here. which makes their
return none the less grateful. Their popu-
larity in other places will not diminish the
affection in which their art is held here.
There will be one performance by the
band at the Opera House Tuesday night.
This will be the only appearance of the
band here this year. Innes has lost none
of his power to arouse enthusiasm. His
recent season at Atlantic City is said to
have been a record breaker. Innes brings
with him the necessary paraphernaiia for
giving his spectacular rendition Of the An

number of excellent vocalists who viii be

the best dramatic talent of the negro

A movement to interest the public
school teachers and public school pupils
In the Pan-American Exposition to be
held at Buffalo next summer has been
started. 1t originated In some of the
public schools Of Pennsylvania and is
being taken up elsewhere as the wis
dom Of the plan becomes apparent. The
idea Is to have the teachers in the pub
lie schools write essays for various Oc-
casions of an educational character on
the.objects and aims Of the Exposition
and the bearing that such a display
will have on the commerce Of the
world. A similar plan regarding the
Paris Exposition was found quite sue
cessful and resulted in the attendance
of a large corps of teachers at that fair.
The plan contemplates also essays by
pupils 1t Is believed that in this way
much Information can be spread re-
garding the benefits to be derived from
c%ultivating closer relations with the
different countries Of this hemisphere
and that 1t would result in greater in
telligence among the public school
teachers AMI pupils on this subject. as
well as a larger attendance among this
class Of the population ut the EXPOSE
ton.

The needs of the inner man win be
Wen attended to at the Pan-American
Exposition to be held at Buffalo from
May l to Nov. 1. 1901. At some exposi.
tons a great mistake has been made
by not providing for good restaurants,
where satisfactory meals could be OBJ
tanned at reasonable prices. Either the
food obtained has not been of good
quality or prices charged have been ex.
orbitant or the facilities in some par
ticulars have been inadequate to the
occasion.
There will be good restaurants in diff
ferent parts Of the grounds of the Pan
American Exposition. so that it will
not be necessary for visitors to go out
side Of the grounds to secure a good
meal, well served. at a moderate price.
All tastes will be suited in the services
rendered. for there will be places
where meals will be served on an
elaborate plan to suit the most fas-
tidious taste and where prices will be
~
In proportion to those charged at
high class restaurants in large cities.
There will be other places where the
meals will be cheap, but the food appe.
tizing and healthful and the surround
ings clean. There will be restaurants
in the beautiful building at the en-
trance to the Midway. another in a
similar building at the entrance to the
Stadium, another In the Electric Tow
which will be one Of the great CEN
tiers Of interest on the Exposition
grounds, and another on the Midway.
Refreshments will also be served In
the Temple of Music, which may be en-
joyed by visitors at the same time that
they are listening to the concerts in
progress in the auditorium. There will
also be a New England kitchen, q Ger

where various kinds of refreshments
will be served.

SIGNING CHECKS
BY THUMB PRINTS.
1t Is Expected That Large American
Banking Firms Will Soon Adopt
This English Method.

The British Government has at last
given its sanction to the adoption Of
an entirely new method Of Identified
tion that is expected to forever prevent
forgeries. Bankers everywhere are
watching the experiment.
Now, for h first time, ~thumb-mark
receipts have been raised from a mere
play-thing of scientists to the dignity
OF oficial documents. The Bengalese
VINO have been drawing pensions and
cashing post office money orders under
Her Majesty's Indian government will
hereafter be obliged to step up to the
counter of the Indian Post Office. and.
instead Of signing their names to re-
ceipts for money paid to them, they
VIII impress their finger tips upon an
inky pad n then leave the imprint
OF the finger upon a piece Of paper.
For years scientists in Europe have
maintained hat thumb marks and an-
ger tips were individual and never
changing; that they were even better
means of identification than photo
graphs of the face or measurements of
the form, such as the Bertillon system
In France involves, and that, in short.
no two men on earth had thumbs or
nge that were marked alike. The
nrst official endorsement of this inter-
esting theory a now come In the or

OF Bengal. who is one of the leading

serted that for smooth excuses, elab-
