very highly pleased with the trip.
Several Republicans were ia the party
and they all unite in saying that Bry-
an is man Of very great force of per-
sonality. Major Brown was present
and was asked about the attendance
and the speech. He replied:
II have been hearing orations since

Bryan.
'sHis arguments were addressed for
the most part to Republicans. They
cannot be answered. Ridicule may
be applied to him but he has the right
side of the great question before the
country and he cannot be eontrovert-

A friend of Henry Downev, who
has been to Wheeling to see him re
turned on No. 4, last Monday night.
He said that Mr.. Downey was stead
lily improving, but would not be
able to leave the hospital for a
month yet. The hospital officials
say that the danger stage has en-
tirely past but to obtain complete
recovery it is necessary for him to
remain with them for some time.
The many friends OF Mr.. w. I.
Hartman will be rejoleed to know
that the reports from him are most
encouraging. He has been steadily
improving for some days and strong
hopes OF his recovery are entertain
ed. 1t is expected, that if nothing
happens, he can be moved before
long. Our citizens are universally
interested in Mr. Hartman's lecov
cry and such favorable reports as
have been received within the last
few days are most encouraging.
1t IS generally thought that the
company which is putting in street
car road in this place will extend
the road to Clarksburg They have
been very slow with their road in
this city, but we are assured that
the vexations delays are over and
from now on the work will be pushed
to rapid completion. We have
been told some things in confidence
which causes us to think that the
road will be built to Clarksburg If
so it will be great convenience to
the whole of the bustling West Fork
Valley.
I Beginning on Monday, September
10. the Index Publishing Company
will commense the publication of a
six column folio evening daily, to

The Evening Times will, in no
sense, be political paper and tn e
object will be to give the local news
of our city and country and to sup

seem to feel. In politics it will
strive to have no learnings and will
aim in its discussion of public events
to give the news pure and simple,
without political bias.

For several days noticed the word
''panqueque' upon the bill of fare at
the hotel and did not know what 1t
was. There is brand of wine from
one of the Gillian vineyards with that
name. and supposed it was perhaps
the same thing referred to, although
1t was difficult to understand why II
should appear among the desserts on
the menu at the dinner table and on
the bills of fare for breakfast The
best way to find out about such things
is to try them, and the next morning
being In an experimental mood, or
dered a ''panqueque." which, to ouT
amazement, was an ordinary griddle
cake. Then it dawned upon my dull
perceptions that 'panqueque' spelled
pancake called the attention of the
head waiter to the discovery, and he
seemed quite astonished. He could
speak English well and claimed to be
familiar with the cuisine of America
Therefore he did not see anything un
usual in my discovery, and | rather
think he wrote the bill of fare himself
for he remarked in surprised tone:

The most trustful people in the world
In money matters are the Irish. A
stranger can 20 into any shop and get

Guilty. though the proprietor never saw
him before and never heard of the
drawer. Bank notes are very largely
used, as almost every bank in the conn.
try issues notes worth IL, II, Is, q
and upward, and they are all looked
upon as being quite as good as gold.
But Bank of England notes, even III
the large towns. are looked upon with
suspicion. while In remote places PEG
pie won't take them at all. 1t is said
that this suspicion of English notes Is
hereditary.
From the time of James II up to ID
years ago the law was such with re-
gard to currency that If an Irishman
wanted to pay E100 in England he had
to remit f11S 6s 3d.. while If he were
being paid a debt by an Englishmar
he received only fS5 Naturally he
thought rather badly Of English money
and in the 1870 years during which this
state of things continued the Irish peo
pie became so deeply convinced that
John Bull was cheating them that they
still regard the Bank Of England as a
corporation of robbers.
