MIR. HALL MAKES A SPEECH.

The Republican Ohio county execu-
tive committee met Monday and the
faithful local supporters of ring poll
tics-city, county and State-know
now in which direction they are ex-
pected to jump. Although the COM
mittee was not entirely unanimous
the overwhelming majority was con-
trolled by the gentlemen who magnan-
imously boss the Republican job in
Ohio county in order to save the dear
rank and file of the party that trou-
BILE. But if the committee was not
harmonious, if a certain "anti-ring"
candidate found himself knitted in
front and back and kicked from pillar
to post and back again, it was only
evidence that the genial ringsters,
whose local organization has ramifica-
lions that extend to the State Ring at
Charleston, were on top as usual.
But. this is depression. The chief
motive of the Register in referring to
this meeting of the local ring was to
compliment the Hon. James X. Hall
upon his able speech to the commit
tee
1t is unfortunate the only report
of Mr. Halls notable address is the
brief condensation in the Intelligen-
Ger, since the meeting was supposed
to be secret, the ring organ alone be-
ing furnished with what account of
the proceedings the committee desir-
ed published.
Mr.. Hall astutely opened his re-
marks by congratulating the commit
tee upon 1.-THE easy task it had before
it'-that is, capturing this city and
county for the ring candidates, State
and county. We forgot to mention
that Mr. Hall spoke as "Ohio coun-
tvs candidate for State Auditor" He
drew striking comparison between
Republican chances and hopes four
years ago and now. -Four years
ago." said he, sit was hard to tell who
were Democrats and who Republicans.
AS it turned out, however, between
1000 and 1000 who had voted with
the Democrats before, came over to
u.s." At this reference to the result
of notorious colonization scheme in
the campaign of 1896 in Ohio county,
members of the committee doubtless
looked at one another and winked.
At any rate Mr.. Hall hastily added
apologetically: mo doubt there was
some illegal voting then, but the sit
uation is simplified this year"
1t is pity Mr.. Hall did not allow
himself to be reported more fully on
his point 1t would be interesting to
know just what he might have meant
by the situation being 'simplified" this
year. Does Mr.. Hall speak from a
ring standpoint? Does he mean that
colonization will be easier this year
than four years ago when the citizens
rose up against it? Certainly the
political issues in both State and ma
ton are far from presenting to the
voter a simplified political situation.
In fact, it is quite complicated. What
ever Mr.. Halls meaning may have
been it Is worthy Of note that his sue
ceeding remarks were a condemnation
ef the Australian secret ballot system.

The terrible mine disaster recounted

The terrible mine disaster recounted
in our dispatches this morning pro-
badly exceeds in horror any similar
accident of recent years in this or any
other State. 1t would seem that we
cannot rob Nature of her vast stores
of riches with impunity. She will
take terrible and generally an I'M
expected revenge occasionally. With
all the study devoted to the subject
and the strict laws regarding care, in
spection, etc., these mine horrors still
continue to shock humanity. Nor does
the size of these disasters diminish
despite precautionary measures, as
this latest great horror shows.

PITIFUL ROYALTY.
THE STORY OF TWO KINGS AND TWO
QUEENS OF SERVIA.
From The London Mail.


One spring night eleven years ago, a stout
gentleman with red face, nut cracker feat
ures and prominent eye, came tumbling into
Vienna out of the mysterious East.
His great-uncle began life by herding swine
then founded a dynasty. He himself had just
rerCCnced a throne.
T.r the rest he owed a Budapest hOSier seV-
entN-6lght horinS with a trife to his tailor.
ON reaching the hotel he popped into bed, like
a philosophic monarch. He slept as he had
never done in Servia, where, under the style of
Milan " he had been pattern to his people
over in Belgrade his son Alexander, aged
twelve, reigned in his stead.
Queen Natalie his divorced wife. preferred

land owner in Bessarabia.

claimed sadly to her lady-in- waiting, while
the two day smoking cigarettes; "and
my mother came Of royal blood. 1 should have
married better"
Her husband concurred He spoke of her
as his worst enemy.
Their quarrels eliminated in a fracas at the
cathedral Easter Sunday. The service had
just ended. and the court filing out before

She was paler than usual-that all.

The significance of the episode penetrated
from end to end of the cathedral.
Milan turned.

the service, and showed temper

tones which could be heard throughout the

and there proceeded to personal violence. Many
assert he tried to strangle her. 1t is certain
that some of the courtiers and foreign Ministers
found it necessary to interpOse. They hurried
the poor Queen away.
She went abroad, taking the Crown Prince
with her. July, 1888, found them at Wiesbaden.

Was Benwood's Commencement-A
Class of Six Graduates, ALI Giving
Most Pleasing Productions.
The fourteenth annual commence
meut of the Central public school, of
Benwood. took place last night at the
NJ. E. church. Of the Industrial town,
and 1t was the most successful in the
history of the school. The church was
crowded to the doors and every avail
able space was utilized. The produce
tions were good without exception, re-
flectlng the merit OF the students and
their teachers. Royal purple and old
gold, the class colors. with roses and
ferns, the rose being the class flower,
beautited the stage and walls and the
programme was varied with music by
Mayors orchestra.
Owing TO the unavoidable absence OF
Rev. Paul Metzenthin the invocation
was made by Rev. G. w. Bent. who also
pronounced the benediction. The class
numbered six, four girls and two boys,
and the first to speak was William
Sumner Leach, his theme being Amer

sketch of the advancement made by
this country since its discovery, with
more particular reference TO the Revo-
luton, and he eloquently enumerated
some OF the wondrous changes from
the primitive past.
Miss Alice Cecilia Hoyt's grafton was
on "Life's True Ideal" and she spoke
OF the ideals formed In early life by
school children, who saw model In
their teacher From this fact she said
II was necessary to have teacher who
would provoke inspiration, and she
dwelt on the influences for higher
and ADLER life.
1.-THE Good Old Times" was subject
which was somewhat novel, and Miss
Ethel Irene Lacey handled It with neat
ness and originality After comparing
the customs OF earlier days with the
present, noting the improvement In
traffic especially, for instance, the sup
planting Of the stage coach by the To-
connective, Miss Lacey said she prefer
red a return TO the good old times when
people had more leisure to enjoy them
selves.
Miss Daisy Frances Shepard's Grafton
was on a different line Her theme was
BE True to Yourself" She urged for
every one an object and high ambition
in life, being first Of all honest and true
to ones self. and she had a carefully
prepared production.
What Is Worth While" was another
creditable effort. The grafton on this
subject was delivered by Miss Jennie
Romano Edwards. II was an optimistic
discourse. elevating in tone, and urging
on nil to assume pursuits that would
lead to the betterment Of humanity
The final number was by William
Aloysius Duggnn, who spoke on the
Heritage OF the Twentieth Century"
and his Grafton was one of the many
pleasing features. He discussed the
marvellous improvements In manufac-
turing and the other useful arts since
the dawninE Of a previous century. and
he predicted that In the natural course
OF progress sim more wonderful things
were In store.
