ySssEELTNC,s RELTEF FUND

Wheeling is a little late with its re-
lief fund for the benefit of Galveston.
but We are going to make splendid
showing Energetic gentlemen are now
in charge OF systematic work, and some
thing like two thousand dollars was in
sight last night, with much more in
prospect
This is good business. 1t shows a
local appreciation of a terrible situa-
ton, and it demonstrates that the peo-
pie of Wheeling remember the help that
came to us sixteen years ago.
The work should be pushed. Let
those well blessed with this worlds
goods give Of their abundance, and
those who have little give little. But
let all give something. Every dime
subscribed means food. shelter, water,
medicine and general aid to those I'M
able to help themselves. The widow
and the orphan will be benefited, and
we viii assist in the rebuilding OF a
city Just si1out the size OF Wheeling,
which has been all but obliterated from
the map.
The Opera House band aud orchestra
concert is means to an end. Let
everybody buy ticket. And then re-
turn the ticket to be sold over again.
\ TT will be something in the manner OF
what happened years ago. out West.

by women knocking men out of employ

When you stop and consider the thing,
one can't help but wonder why they

Probably it's because they become tired

AN EXAMPLE.

The men who drugged and robbed
the young woman, out the pike, Friday
might, deserve the full extent of the
law The women, it is to be hoped,
have learned something by sad expert
ence. If they had not picked up chance
acquaintances on the streets and gone
to a suburban resort to drink beer, they
would have been very much better Off
The story and their experience, how
ever, is not new one. Young women
almost nightly go to pike resorts with
young men to have good time" 1t
generally turns out to be bad time
Some Of these young women are girls
of sixteen, seventeen and eighteen.
Many are well dressed-above the aver
age. Some of them are beautiful. Some
Of them are undoubtedly the daughters
of fairly well-to-do parents, who do
not know where their children are.
They tell at home they are going up
or down town, to meet a female friend
or to take walk. In reality they
have q date with a man, most often
an entire stranger. Not all Of these
girls, however, go out of town. Many
Of them meet men on the streets. night
after night, go to resorts and drink
more than is good for them, to say
nothing more Some of them are to
be seen on the streets, even on Sunday
night, under the influence of drink.
They start out at dusk, and some of
them are out until after midnight The
I thing is an evil which goes on the year
r9und. and which calls for a remedy.
Ting are regular places of resort for
these young girls and their male
iris . the heart of the city
L. his, and appear to have
entire hSpity from any official
supervision: ~Just-outside of the city it
is worse, If anything, but in every case
there appears tobe a perfect confidence
in perfect safety from molestation. No
one is afraid of arrest mot even of
caution The main street in The very
center of the city, is a notorious place
of rendezvous. There ought 70 be
shaking up in this little matter ana
some attempt at reform.
