A GOOD REPORT
Il That Of the city Board Of Gas
Trustees sor 1899.
THEOVFRDRAfT DISAPPEARING
The Decrease on the overdraft During
the Twelve Months Was 1891.
Many Additional Lights on Streets,
q Considerable Extension Of Street
Mains, and the Wages Of the Men
Materially. Increased.

Late yesterday afternoon. the an
nual report Of the city board of gas
trustees was completed and handed to
city Clerk o'Brien. 1t is an excellent
report, and shows q buslness-like and
economical administration Of this de-
partnent Of the city's government. Not
only was there a much larger extern
sion Of mains and service than usual in
late years; the board also gave twenty
four additional arc street lights, as
wen as a number Of gas lights, and cut
down that legacy Of Democratic malad-
Immigration of the department-the gas
board overdraft-to the extent Of
n,ss1, leaving 1t now at $1,SI2, and It Is
not unlikely that the current years OPP
erations win result in the entire wlping
out Of the overdraft. In addition to all
this, the board was enabled to advance
materially the wages of the men em-
ployed at the gas works. The free gas
drain on the board continues an item

SCHOOL MFLlNGE.

= on 'Tdesday morning January 2, 1890,
the wheeling schools opened their
doors Tor ne work Of the second term
of the school year. ALTHOUGH the Wee-

count Of the cold ana sleet still the
rooms were al we'll Gllsd with pupils
except that some Of the very little folks
were kept At home until more favorable
weather prevails. After q little more
than week OF good holiday times, the
boyp and girls are wen prepared to do
tier work ali along the line, and The
wise teacher win zee to It that Il Is
done AS the school year advances the
pupils are prepared to do better work

thtt the student who studies well ought

school than In two months ct the be-

Some OF them weary In well doing.
They begin the work Of the year we'll

time they give up the task and fall out

Teacher Is to inspire such pupils to
keep up the work throughout the year.

advice that every teacher should heed.
we should, as teachers, seek to know
our pupils, their parents, their home
training. in short, all their environ
ments, IL possible. Knowing all these
things we are then. as 1t were, but pre-
pared to begin our work, let alone
carry It out to a successful termina-
ton. The sculptor's hand must be
trained to as nearly perfection us may
be before attempts to chisel the angel
from the marble block, but how un-
trained the hands that strike blow after
blow upon the marble Of youth 1t is
no wonder that the angel that should
appear from the touch turns out to Id
the demon. Remember, teacher, that
"A blow upon the marble of youth will
reveal itself either In an excellence or
a defect to all eternity" When the
time comes that wisdom Is preferred to
knowledge. and character to much
learning, our schools will have started
in the path that leads to the crowning
glory Of what true education should
be. Hasten the day.
From the report Of Ritchle school for

school, there have been 40 boys and

rolled. There were slxty-seven tardy
marks during the month, while S22 pu-
pils were neither absent nor tardy. The
cost of tuition per pupil was 10 which
is no doubt lower than for any other
school in the city. Quite number Of
new scholars have been enrolled since
the holidays. All the rooms are now
crowded.

Richmond, Va, March 26.-The series
OF exciting events in Greenville county
the past week eliminated in double
lynching at Emporia. Bob Cotton, the ne
gro, who according to his confession killed
Sanders and Weller, and OGrady, the
white man who was with HIM in the cabin
when the murder occurred, were hanged
by mob variously estimated from 1900
to 1000 strong. This morning the sheriff
OF the county discharged from duty the
military that had been sent from this city
at his request and Major Cutchings, in
command of the troops, notified Governor
Tyler, stating at the same time he thought
if the prisoners were left unprotected by
the military they would be lynched. The
governor replied as follows:
"If he orders you to withdraw, you can
do nothing but obey. We have done ev-
erything possible to uphold the law and
prevent mob violence and are still pre-
pared to render every aid necessary"
Accordingly Major Cutchings entrained
his men and started for Richmond. This
was about II o'clock. Hardly was the
train out of sight when a mob entered
the Jail, took Cotton, hanged him to the
limb of tree and fired 40 bullets into
his body. Later despite the protests OF
cooler heads, who claimed that the guilt
Of the white man had not been established,
another crowd, composed largely of ne
groes, hanged O'Grady.

ceremonies was City Hall park, which
was thronged with a great crowd of in
vited spectators who loudly cheered the
mayor as he tossed the first bit of earth
into the air. The work was performed
with shovel having a blade of pure
silver, with the coat of arms of the city
engraved thereon. Mayor Van Wyck
made brief address appropriate to the
occasion, which was followed by speeches
delivered by the rapid transit commits
sioners and others.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness. and that Is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
tnflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when 1t is entirely closed Deafness
Is the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out, and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Facts
for
Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for a time, but in order
10 insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
Is lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years Of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
