Obituary Notice.
FRAISER.-Died, at Clifton Forge,
Va, January Dist, Miss NELLIE j., the
beloved daughter of W. g. r. and Alice
A. Frayser, in the 2Sth year of her age.
She was a native of this city, where she
has spent nearly her whole life, and was
admired and loved by large circle OF
acquaintance and friends, who had
learned by association to appreciate her
lovely disposition and the charm of her
womanly qualities. The people of Church
Hill, where her life was spent, will long
regret the absence of a charming friend
and companion. The devoted relatives
of the young lady are greatly distressed,
and it was with saddened hearts they
followed her remains to their last resting
place in lakewood Cemetery.
The above is from the Richmond
Dispatch of Sunday. Mr.. Frayser is
well known in Henderson and he has
many friends here who will sympa-
thize with him in the loss of bright,
beloved daughter.

saying he would be delighted to do
so but for the fact that he had a
previous engagement.

Charles q. Hoyt in each Of his plays
has satiriEed some fad dear to the pub
lie and they are at once interested. The
cleverness Of his jibes, and the wit Of
his jeers, are so undeniable that crit-
cism is dlsarmed at the start. The
satirists battle Is half won when he
makes one laugh at the object Of his
attack; for who has time when quak-
ing with laughter to consider whether
his feelings have been outraged or notR
"a Milk White Flag is primarily a
satire on the militia and the citizen
soldiery gets a good many hard raps
which everyone, including the militia
man himself, may enjoy thoroughly.
The action Of the play goes with that
dash so characteristic OF Hoyt. y ID
fast and furious as well as funny. The
military environments give an oppor-
tunIty for gorgeous spectacular ettects
and for the introduction Of a brass
hand. Under cover OF the Hiyandierres
and messenger boys a group OF pretty
girls are introduced who can dance
and sing and add to the general az
tractIveness of the farce. The inciden-
tai music is pretty and original and the
introduced speclalties are claimed 70
be decidedly novel and clever. The
large company IS an evenly balanced
and adequate one. "a Milk White
Flag comes to the Opera House

York Metropolitan Opera House this
season. The vocalist OF the evening

contralto, Of whom the London Even
ing News wrote: 1.-THE new American

Mr.. Hoyts revival of his world-famed
"a Trip to Chinatown" Is presented
at the Opera House, Monday evening
and It is fair to presume that It will
caII ont an audience that viii fill the

Hoyt has had many successes, but
never scored a success as pronounced
as In IA Trip to Chinatown" This
most remarkable comedy has brought
him more dollars than all his other
comedies combined. and It did more to
place him prominently before the pub
lie and to establish him as the most
successful playwright OF modern times.
The present production Of the "Trip" ig
said to bear the distinct trade mark OF
Hoyt on every line and scene. It Is full
Of life and dash. and has even more OF
the breeze and whirl than usually char
acterlEes a Hoyt farce from beginning

yesterday morning that may result
fatally. While coupling cars on the

be rescued three cars passed over him
The city ambulance removed the I'M
tured man to the city hospital, where
DR.. Frank Hupp attended him The
left arm Of the unfortunate railroader
was almost severed by the accident and
1t had to be amputated. His left leg
was severely bruised, but amputation
was not necessary. In addition, st.
Myers sustained injuries to his ribs and
other parts of his body. and It was seen
at first glance that his condition was
critical.
Throughout the affairst. Myers never
lost his nerve, and when he was being
carried from the rails. he realized the
gravity Of his injuries. saying to his
fellow railroaders: Boys, I'm afraid
this will cost me my life"

many expressions Of regret over his
misfortune. Recently his brother was

His condition was reported as ex-
tremely critical at O'Clock this morn

Rev. R. B. Bigger Asks Some Point
sd Questions Anent the Slot Ma

To the Editor of the IntellIgeneer.
slr-It will be remembered by many
Of the citizens of wheeling that a COM
m.ttee from the Federation of Church.
es" asked our CHEZ of police to put the
slot machines away from our city en-
tIrely, and If necessary to seize them
The chief, considering Judge ]. NJ.
Jackson as worthy authority, replied
that said Judge had declared the law
along this line was unconstitutional.
when in fact he had rendered no de-
clslon on the question ct all up to that
time.
Now the whole state has been IN
formed through the press that Judge
jackson has decided the slot machine
to be gambling device. Now will our
city officers respect the decision of this
eminent 1urist? Last December our
chief looked upon him as good author
ity. Is he not really better authority
now on this question:
II, in December, his alleged decision
IN favor of the slot machine was con-
sidered a good reason for the chiefs
refusal to take measures for the BAN
ishment Of the slot machines, surely
his out-and-out decision against the
slot machine ough. to be very weighty
in leading our chief now to do his sworn
duty in enforcing the law against all
gambling devices In this city.
The temporary lull with reference to
the crusade against the slot machine
gambling evil has led some OF our cit
Izens 70 believe that the Federation
Of Churches" has given up the night.
But such is not the case. Far from 1t.
AS long as the mayor and chief Of POI
lice refuse to enforce the ordinances Of
this city We will not rest. Why2 Be
cause we know we are right and right
must prevail.
II the good citizeng Of Wheeling
stood alone In their efforts TO suppress
the slot machine there might be some
grounds for believing that our demands
were ultra. But this crusade is being
waged in scores OF cities both larger
and smaller than Wheeling,
Faithful officers, true to their sworn
duty, have sent the slot machines out
Of Cincinnati, youngstown, Parkers-
burg, GAINESVILLE, Huntington. Pitts
burgh and even New Orleans, the
Mecca Of rambling and gamblers. ind
mary other cities. Mayor Butts sent
them out Of wheeling. Why do our
present officers refuse to do this?
Eleven hundred taxpayers nnd voters
petitioned them to do their duty. And
still they refuse to do 20. 10 this tho
kind Of administration the people Of
Wheeling expected from these men
when they voted for them7 Not at nil.
I am safe in saying that neither our
present mayor or chief Of police could
have been elected n the good citizens
had not supported them. IL It any Won
der, therefore. that expressions Of Bit
Ter disappointment and outspoSen dis
approval arc heard on oil sides with
reference to their refusal to enforce the
ordinances Of this city against slot ma
