is the power back of all benevolent and
charitable work. And back of that SEN
timent stands the church, which by its
persistent preaching and teaching the
truth has made this glorious, fruitful
sentiment. Suddenly Danish this senti-
ment and who can imagine the awful
condition into which those who are de-
pendent upon wages would be thrown
in a few years. With all of our Chris
tan sentiment affairs are bad enough,
but how deplorable would be the out
look for the laborer, If our public con-
science should be left to the teachings
of selfishneSs, of materialism, and of
atheism. It is no argument to say that
intellectually rather than Christianity
is responsible for the growth of chart
ty and benevolence, as well as the hu-
name sentiment existing among men.
1T is therefore, not our intellectual
ity which has caused great progress in
the growth of altruistic sentiment. II
is the religion of Jesus as taught by
the church which has advocated that we
should do good unto all men, that we
should love our neighbor as ourselves,
That we should visit the fatherless and
widows in their afiiction.' There are

BRoADDus BUYS MORE GROUND
And will build the Payne Memorial hall
at once.

Atan adjourned meeting Monday,
the board of trustees Of Broaddus In
stltute decided to purchase acres Of
land Of Col. Luther Raymond, on
which they have had an option some
time, and appointed S. E. Swartz, G.
NJ. Whltescarver, S. f. Reed and L.
w. Holden a committee to close the
deal with Col. Raymond. The COM
mittee Immediately waited upon Col.
Raymond and fulfilled their duty as a
purchasing committee. The purchase
price was $4,000. The territory ac-
qulred is all the land adjacent to the
Institute, lying between the Short
Line railroad and Elk creek. This
purchase gives the Institute about 10
acres In all.
The board also authorized building

erection OF Payne memorial hall, the
cost OF which is provided for by an
5000 donation from the estate OF the
late Jed Payne. This building will be

RAISED BILLS PASSED HERE.
The So Series OF 1896 Carefully Con-
yerted mto SIS.

Unknown parties passed some raised
bills here Wednesday and Thursday of
last week. f. j. Smith, the West End
merchant, and r. II. Barnett, of the
East End, were the victims. A 81 bill
raised to a 50 bill was presented at the
Traders along with Smiths deposit,
where the raising was detected. In
quiry developed that two similarly
raised bills had been passed upon Mr.
Barnett. One OF these was passed by
a stranger who bought five cents worth
Of tobacco and received change for 50.
The work of raising the bills was
skillfully done and shows the raiser to
be a professional. 1t was evidently
done with pen. The figure %"
wherever it appeared was neatly con-
verified into figure 50 and the word
two into the word five" The
series raised was that OF 1896. A care
full lookout has disclosed the fact that
they ceased operations here after pass
ing the two bills at Barnett's. The
bills passed here are like those passed
at West Union early last week and are
OF the same series.

is no Longer a Question of Doubt.
Two big Contracts let.

1t no longer remains a question OF
doubt that a line Of railroad will oe
built from Clarksburg to Belington TO
connect the Short Line and the West
Virginia Central. Steps to that end
have materialized not only in the
securing of a charter, Including this
line and the line to the south OF
Elkins, but contracts have been
actually let for the construction OF
two large tunnels, one 1000 feet long
smiles south OF Elkins and the other
$50 feet long about "a niles south OF
the same place.
POSER, Coleman s Hoge, OF Louis
Vile, n.y., were given the contracts.
II is expected to award contracts for
the remainder Of the southern line
In March and have construction IN
full blast by April. That part OF the
road, which will be 43 miles long, will
probably be finished In November
next. 1t will extend from ElkIns, w.

THE PEOPLE
AND U. S. SENATORS
Congressional Committee Rec
ommends that v. S. Senators
be Elected by the Popular
Vote.
Text Of Amendment
To the Constitution.
The Measure has Twice Passed
the House, But Found a
Thorny Path in the Senate,
Whereitis Likely to be
Hung up Again.


a unanimous report was made
Monday by the house committee on
election of President, Nice-Prcsident,
and Representative in Congress, rec
ommending the adoption Of rcsolu-
ton amending the Constitution pro-
viding for the election Of senators by
popular vote. The report was writ
ten by Representative Corliss, Of
Michigan.
The salient feature of the resolution
is as follows:
"The senator shall be chosen by the
Legislature Of the several states unless
the people of any state, either through
their legislaturcor by the constitution
of the state, shall provide for the cleo
ton of United States senators by d.
rect vote of tho people: then. in such
case, United States senators shall be
elected In such state at large by direct
vote of the people: plurality shall
elect, and the elector shall have the
qualifications requisite for electors OF
the most numerous branch of the
state legislature,'
The report contends that the policy
of the popular election of senators has
met with very general sanction and
even with legislative approval, several
states, through their legislature hav-
ing instructed in favor Of such amend
mcnt. This measure in Its general
scope has twice passed the House.
The report says that the chief con-
Germ of all good government is the
welfare and happiness of the people,
and this can best be secured and pre-
served through the powerful agency
of the direct action of the citizens as
the sovereign.

Large New Building.

The board OF directors Of the West
Virginia Reform School at Prunty-
town held special meeting here Tues
day afternoons this being central
point for all the members, and In
spected and accepted plans and speci-
tications drawn by Architect Harrison
Albright for large new building to
be erected on the school grounds. The
board is composed of w. G. Worley, OF
Kingwood, president; G. L. Rector, OF
Grafton, secretary; and @. L. linn. OF
Richie county; j. L. Buckley, OF
Parkersburg; DIR. G.. A. Newton, OF
Buckhannon; and j. H. Hurry, OF
Bridgeport, all of whom were present.
Mai. j. C. Gluck, superintendent OF
the institution, also attended the
meeting.
The building to be erected is three
story brick about 125 feet by 200 feet,
containing recitation rooms, dorma-
tories, gymnasium and offices, and
when completed will accommodate 10
boys. 1t is to be the main admins
tration building, the three old build
ings in present use to be annexes.
Plans and specifications were sub
mitted by Architect Harrison Al

employed for the purpose.
The board will advertise for bids for
the erection of the building, which

Director Hurry informs the Tele-
gram that there are at present 1877
boys in the school and that during the
Institutions short history the consec-
utiye number has reached more than
500. Peculiar notions prevail concern
ing the school, and magistrates fire.
.auently commit boys on the mosttriv-
ial evidence. In instances of sem
fences by circuit court judge the di-
rectors admit the boys sentenced with
out question. but in all cases where
boys are committed by magistrates,
the directors require all evidence and
papers to be submitted and the execu-
tive committee composed OF three
members tries the case over again and
either admits or rejects the applicant.
This executive committee meets the
second Tuesday of every month to au-
dit all bills and to receive and dis
charge boys.
The stated meetings of the board
are in January, April, July and octo-

QuaRRELED OVER THE COFFIN.
Italians had ahot mix.up over the price
but Didn't Fight.

Dominick Oguzzo, of Farnum, an
Italian, died at Kessler hospital, at 6
o'clock Saturday morning, Of typhoid
pneumonia, contracted Christmas
week. The virulence of the disease
was quickened by the fellows lying
out one night drunk. A friend of the
dead man directed Mike Kelley to
purchase the coffin. Mike did SO at a
cost of s35. The other Italian, when
he learned the price, contended that
ss5 was too much and claimed like
coffin could have been bought for $40.
Mike and thh italian had some hot
words and passed the lie but did not
come to blows.
The remains were inferred Saturday
In the /. o. o. F. cemetery, the coffin
over which the dispute arose being
used.
