A Standard Among Newspapers.

Rejecting in its widening circulation
and increasing advertising patronage
the prosperity that marks the opening
of the new year the Pittsburg Times
more than ever impresses upon its read
ers the excellence of its high standard
and the success OF it's efforts TO make a
model paper for the individual and for
the family. The Times is newspaper,
the world thoroughly every day, that
its current page of history may be COM
plete and in its longer range overlook
ing nothing that occurs at home. 1t is
clean, dignifed and reliable, certain
that no lack OF these features can be
made up in offensive sensationalism. 1t
can be taken into the family circle with
confidence that its columns are filed
with wholesome instruction and enter
tainment. Wherever known The
Times is recognized as the best type Of
concise, crisp and complete newspaper
and among newspaper men it is the
publication with which comparisons of
excellence are made. While The Times
is Republican in politics it realizes that
others have right to be on earth, and
that politics are not everything. When
one cent day will buy morning paper
it is foolish to be without one. The
Times is three dollars year and worth
the money.

It is as difficult to understand why a
dog runs on three feet instead of
four, as it is to comprehend why a
woman will wear skirt cut 50 long be-
hind that she must hold it up all the
time, when she might AVOID all the an
noyance by making it little shorter.
But II the dogs prefer to trot on three
feet, holding up the other, and women
prefer to go about grasping their skirts
with grim determination, it is probably
their own business, and poor frail man
who chews tobacco and spits the juice
on the sidewalks, ought not to complain.

Death Of Judge Jeffers.

The distressing circumstances which
surrounded the death OF ex-Judge
George ". LETTERS was a most painful
shock to the community. which had
honored the deceased with several cleo
tive Offices. the mayoralty. the judge
shin of the municipal court and city So
llcitor. Judge Jefters, owing TO his re-
firing disposition, was greatly mIsun-
derstood by the majority of the people.
To those who enjoyed an intimate ae-
ouaintance with him he was appreciate
ed rs a genial companion, and a most
entertaining conversationaliss. OF
warm impulses, he likewise possessed
strong prejudices. u man OF tbs most
positive convictions. But to his warm
est friend we doubt II he gave his whole
confidence. This trait in his character
is not cited In an offensive sense, but
merely to show one of the many peculi-
arlties in his disposition.
But the best of Judge Jeffers' career
is worthy Of the slncerast admiration.
He was man Of the strictest integrity.
and observed the most delicate con-
structlons OF personal honor. As mayor
of wheeling he administered the affairs
OF that Office with fearless Impair
TALLY, and the finest sense OF his sworn
duty. He was always loyal to the best
interests OF the city OF his birth. and
ever regardfm of his obligations as a
citizen. We do not know of his having
an enemy, but we do know that in spite
of his eccentrIcIties he had many warm
friends. While opposed to him politi-
cally, the Intelligencer looked upon him
as one Of the safest men that ever held
office.

The Business Situation.

Desperate efforts were made last weak
in the stock market to depress values,
but 1t seems that they were with unim-
portnnt results. Prices. surprising to
relate under these circumstances. re-
manned strong. The strongest factor
in maintaining the strength Of the mar
ket at present is the continued large
earnings of the railroads OF the coun-
try, easy money and the prospect Of
the early ending Of the war in South
Africa.
The business outlook continues to be
good, and there is no element in trans
actions to-day that warrant any unensi-
ness. Mr.. Henry clews, in his weekly
circular, says that some concessions on
values of merchandise would merely
bring in new orders which have been
held back by high prices; and partial
cessation of the recent rush OF orders
is desirable II trade is to continue of
healthy proportions. He looks for a
less profitable but smaller and sound
err volume OF business during the next
six months than the last. And there
is no doubt whatever that the rail-
roads will enjoy their present prosperity
for a considerable length of time to
come. The industrials arc not the
menace to the market that they once
we're; speculation in these being largely
restricted to professionals and original
holders, and current market prices Of
ten being below the point OF Issue. As
speculative holdings their ownership
stin involves unusual risk. so long as
they have to fave the consequences Of

A Shameful Spectacle.

THE management Of the wheeling
base bail team succeeded in playing an
other game yesterday. but not until the
constable representing the Federation
Of Churches, having warrants for the
arrest OF the members of the team. had
been assaulted by mob of some Of the
spectators, his legal documents wrested
from him and he himself pushed out OF
1be grounds by the press of the mob.
This constable meant business. He
intended to stop the discretion OF the
sabbath. not to license the 'olators OF
the law to lmpertlnently ignore its pro-
visions. The Intelligencer is sanguine
enough to believe that this overt act on
the part OF the sympathizers with the
law breakers will serve to bring out
with some dlstlnctness their desperate
Ana insulting attitude towards the
execution OF laws that do not mret with
their approval. Whittier are we drift
ing IL such an element can balk the
proper dispensation of Justice? The
Federation of Churches Is In deadly
earnest, now that the battle is on. They
are backed, both in purse ard senti-
ment, by a number of the most infiu-
entail citizens Of Wheeling, who will
see to 1t that the laws are enforced.

The Brozton Conventions.

Last week the Intelligencer printed a

the regular Republican Braxton county

rn-dnz,a Eclinse Of &c Sun.


This morning one Of the most inter-
esting Of astronomical phenomena will
take place in the total eclipse OF the
sun, the first visible In this country
for eleven years. While Wheeling Is
not in the path of total observation we
will have an opportunity of observing
the partial phases Of the spectacle
which will begin about o'clock. Pro-
lessor Harold Jacoby. In Harper's
Weekly, in an interesting story Of the
phenomenon says that the observation
of the sun will be visible in the United
states throughout strip OF territory
about seventy-five miles wide, and ex-
tending from New Orleans to Norfolk,
Virginia. This is called the path of
totally, md persons stationed any
where in that path will be able to see
the total phase. The comparatively
unlmportant partial phase can be seen
from a much wider extent of territory
and the degree OF observation will be
greater in proportion to the nearness OF
the observing station to the totality
path,
The complete observation Will occur
In New Orleans at 1880 a. M. and will
last 70 seconds. In Norfolk 1t will
happen at 1888 a. M, and the duration
will be lO2 seconds. AT intermediate
points, such as Mobile, Montgomery,
Raleigh, totalIty will be visible at an
hour intermediate between those given
for New Orleans and Norfolk; and the
duration OF totallty win also fall be-
tween the extreme values OF 7S and lO2
seconds.

speak with posidveness on this point,
as very few Of the returns have thus

come to hand seem to bear out this con-
clusion. The matter is OF Importance
chiefly because Of the uncertainty felt
