RARE ENTERTAINMENT.
The International Grand Operate Com.
pany to be Here Dec. 10th.

It Is doubtless the first time In the
history of.our city that such an oppor-
tunity to hear Grand Opera has been
presented and by such artists as com
pose the International Grand operate
Company. The coming OF this spleu-
did organization on December 10th
has aroused the artistic element
among our citizens to point that abb
solutely insures the financial success
OF the engagement.
1t Is seldom we are afforded the op-
portnnity OF witnessing operatic per-
formances that are given as artistical-
ly as this well known organization are
reputed to present. With such ar
fists as Vicini, Tennien, Stephens,
Lorraine Seaton and Gnarro, their
performances are not only sure Of lib
eral patronage, but artistic triumphs
as well.
An elaborate programme Of an oper-
attic nature has been prepared and
beautiful costumes will prove valu-
able adjunct. All the artists have
been educated in Foreign schools, and
have sung abroad with success.
Every available seat In the Opera
House should be taken on the occasion
OF their visit here on Monday.

TWO JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
The Probability That West Virginia
will be Divided Into Two.

All advices from Washington are TO
the effect that the bill now pending
for the division OF West Virginia into
two Federal court districts will must
likely pass during the present short
session of Congress. In that event
there will be an additional judge to
appoint, an additional clerk and a
United States marshal and his depu-
ties, all of whom will be residents Of
West Virginia.
A we'll known and well posted at
torney Of West Virginia, in discuss
ing this matter to-day said: sThose
unacquainted with the conditions
which exist in the State to-day have
no conception Of the urgent demand
for the division of West Virginia into
two Federal judicial districts. The
upper section of the State is almost
entirely neglected in this respect aud
there are localities in that portion or
the State where the people actually
do not know that we have United
States court within the State. A di-
vision of the State would enable the
the proper officers To correct many
abnses which exist In the matter Of
the revenue laws, at present and it
will be good thing for the state
when this law is passed.

The Irl r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien.
tific causes upon which the Rev. Irl
r. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts
of storm and weather, it is remark
able fact that specific warnings of
every great storm, flood, cold wave
and drouth, have been plainly print
ed in his now famous Almanac for
many years. The latest startling
proof of this fact was the destruc-
ton OF Galveston, Texas, on the verv
day named by Prof Hicks in his
1900 Almanac, as one of disaster by
storm along the gulf coasts. The
1901 Almanac, by far the finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re-
markable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with
charts and halt tone engravings.

EXPORT TRADE.
Much Coal Mined in West Virginia Just
Now Export Coal Trade is Some
thing Enormous Heaviest Business
Experienced by the II. g. o.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railway
company Is experiencing the heaviest
business in its history, il is. said. In
regard to the extraordinary increase of
coal shipments the Baltimore Morn
ing Herald says;
"The export coal business OF the
Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad by way of
Baltimore during the next six months
will probably be the largest in its his
tory, aud the piers at Locust Point
and Curtis Bay will be taxed TO their
utmost TO transfer the train loads
which will be loaded into vessels for
various parts of the world The Man
ufaeturers' Record has received ad
vices that the Pittsburg Coal COM
pany, of Pittsburg has closed contract
TO ship $50. 900 tons Of coal to Europe
by way OF Baltimore. This represents
a single order given by parties in Nan
ties, France. The coal will come from
the bituminous mines of Western
Pennsylvania over the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, and will represent in
value $500, 900. To transport IL
will require 5000 cars of the largest
capacity, made up into 200 trains.
while this order is one OF the larg
est ever given TO an American coal
firm, it represents only a portion OF
the foreign business, as the mining
companies in West Virginia and
Maryland along the Baltimore & Ohio
have also secured large contracts for
shipment TO the West Indies, Mexico,
South Africa and various European
aud Asiatic ports. Although the
Curtis Bay pier is one of the largest Ia
the world it will probably be operated
night and day tc load the large fleet
Of vessels which will be coming to
Baltimore in the near future"

BISHOP GEO. w. PETERKIN
Asked to go to Porto Rico on an In
spection Tour Of Churches

Brshop George w. Peterkin has
been asked by the Board of Missions
Of the Episcopal church togo to Por-
to Rico on an inspection tour. So
urgent are the requests made Of him
by Bishops Doane, Clark and Whit
taker that it is unlikely that refus-
al will be given. However, no de-
cision has been arrived at.
Several years ago Bishop Peterkin
very ably performed similar duty
in Brazil and the experience there
gained, coupled with his natural fit
ness, stamp him as the man for the
place. While the trip would be in
teresting in many ways it would in
volve many hardships and trials.
The mission is an important one,
and the request made of the bishop
is compliment to his ability and
powers.

Hall at Reasons Given
by That Paper why he Should be
Chosen over the Others Mentioned.
Senator Kepna the First one Selec-
ted.
There is vacancy in Washington
for West Virginian and strange to
say, two or more West Nirginians
named to fill il says the Wellsburg
Herald. 1t Is for some distinguished
citizen to fill the vacant aiche In the
gallery of dead great men. Original
ly there were two such inches by law
provided, but some years ago, one of
them was by act OF the legislature,
filed by bust, or an ef1igy OF some
sort of the late senator Kenna.
The question probably To be before
next legislature, now agitated is with
whose marble or bronze shall the 9TH
er be tiled if not adorned 1t is
matter of some delicacy. The honor
and and character of the state is TO
be considered as we'll as the reputa-
tion and personality of the individual
to be honored, perhaps more SO. The
partiality of friends is not to be SO
much considered as how posterity will
look at it. Fortunately ia the wealth
candidates for this posthumous Office
are much spoken of.-Gov. Pierpont,
Senator Waitman T. Wiley and A.
w. Campbell, all three answering the
conditions of being no longer on earth
and of having been worthy men.
Either would be good selection and
the choice will likely be one of the
two first named-Willey of Morgan
town or Pierpoint of Fairmont
As between Wiley and Pierpoint
there was not great deal of similari-
ty. Their lives were cast on different
models, and they moved on different
planes but toward the same patriotic
end WILEY was an accomplished or
ator and had made a state wide repu-
tation before Pierpoint was hardly
heard of. He was more the man Of
the occasion. Wiley was more of
statesman-looked more ahead-and
did more to materialize the union SEN
timent in the state during its grow
ing stage than probably any other
maa. Probably ne had not as much
to do with bringing about the divis-
ion Of the state as some others. We
incline to that belief, and at this day,
rather honor him for it; but when it
comes to true devotion to West Vir-
ginia and loyalty to the Union in
those days, Waitman t. Wiley in
the opinion of his contemporaries
ranked with the very foremost.
Ii it be desirable to commemorate
the heroic era of the state by monu-
ment to deserving public man let
Senator Wiley be the subject.
