In this day OF constantly varying de-
mands. the Offering that reIr5iHs profitable
through more than one year must appeal
especially TO the taste of theatregoers.
This is particularly true of farces, for,
while the impressionablc may thrill twice
at a drama, only a single comedy in a
thousand can compel laughter that often.
Under the circumstances, the record CT "a
Bachelors Honeymoon fairly may be con-
sldered a remarkable affair. The piece.
which is by john SJapletou, was produced
at Hoyts Theatre. New York, in 1897. and
had Il long run there. Since that date it
has been on the road without a break.
Chicago has been visited five and Bcs.on
four times during the interval, while the
engagement to be opened Monday night at
the Lafayette Square Opera House will be
the third here. On both OF the earlier oc-

audiences. aud there is a likelihood that 1t
will do the same again. "A Bachelors

The pedestrians who travel the

terms about the condition the thor

paved and should be kept in better
condition; it could be done with but
little cost, and the new council could
get a big name by putting two or three
men to work cleaning streets. The
people on Gravel street leaned their
sidewalk yesterday, which was a great
benefit to those who travel that street.
If others would follow their example
they would haze more visitors from
the adjoining towns.

SOME PERTINENT ENQUIRIES.
To the Editor of the Register.

10 the EuluOF Oh the Register.
Sir: One of the two Wheeling news
papers being used by the literary bu-
reau of the crowd backing the refund
ing ordinance has, upon several occa-
sions, made the statement that the
adoption of the ordinance would mean
SOC gas. What authority is there for
this statement, if any; or is 1t merely
a creature of the imagination of an
irresponsible writer. it's object being
to mislead voters? And if the state
ment were true, would not the same
result be attained by an ordinance
simply refunding the compromise loan
and providing for the purchase of the
electric light plant? If not, why not?
AS I understand it, the cost of gas
making is about Sic per 1000 cubic
efet. If this is true. will the city,
under any state of facts, sell gas for
less than the cost of production? This
argument" looks like the old famil-
lar attempt to bamboozle voters.
Again, it is said by this same paper
that to adopt the ordinance will be to
save money to the taxpayers. How?
VIII not the same tax levy be made,
and the money spent? Will there be
any diminution in the size of the sums
property owners will have to hand
over to the City Collector? 1 fancy
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-02-14

not. And If not, where does the "sav-
ing" to the people come in? Is it
not true that the reverse will be the
fact, and that after the people have
paid out 5000, 900 in interest, in the ten
years of the life of the sinking fund,
they will still owe as much as they
do now, while having $4,000 per year
tied up for that period, at 2 per cent.
interest? In other words. will they
not be paying 5000 a year in interest
for the opportunity of laying aside
$751;
Would it not be immeasureably bet
ter to refund the compromise loan,
buy the electric plant, and go on pay
ing off the city debt? We have lately
wiped out one bond issue entirely. In
1901 we will pay the last of the cleo
trio light loan, and in the ten years
elapsing under the proposed sinking
fund scheme about $500, 900 of city
debtor more than half of it-would
be paid and be forever done WIKI,
while our interest charges would an
nually and rapidly grow less, and the
city would then legitimately be placed
upon a sound financial basis.
| submit these thoughts to the
voters of the city. Let them study the
situation before they go to the polls,
and not be led astray by specious and
untruthful statements. CITIZEN.

The Production of Caviare.

Two distinct varieties Of caviare are
manufactured in Russia-the granulat-
ed and the pressed forms. The granu-
lated form is obtained by passing the
fish roes under pressure through a fine
meshed sieve. The small eggs pass in
tact, but the. envelopes are retained in
the sieve. To these pure salt Is added
in the proportion Of one-twentieth or
one-fortieth. 1t is intimately mixed
with the eggs by means of kind Of
wooden spoon, The caviare Is then
ready for consumption. 1t is packed
in round metallic boxes Of one and q
half to five pounds and enveloped in
parchment for transportation. The
pressed caviare keeps better than the
graduated form.
To obtain 1t the fresh caviare is treat
ed with a solution of salt at % degrees
Baume until the eggs acquire GER
tain degree of hardness. This opera
ton requires considerable skill and ex-
perience. If allowed to stay in the So
luton too long. the caviare will be too
salty, and If not long enough the eggs
cannot be preserved. The caviare is
then put into small sacks, which are
pressed under a, screw press to drive
out the excess Of salt. It is packed in
barrels containing up to 1000 pounds
or left in the original sacks. which
measure 8 by 20 inches. The average
export of pressed caviare for the three
years 1896 to 1898 has been more than
5000 tons, representing a value of ST.
400, OOO.-Scientific American.

That Low Animal, Man.

Instead Of the highest, man Is in
some respects the lowest Of the animal
( Kingdom. Man is the most unchaste,
the most drunken, the most egotistic.
the most misery, the most hypocritical
and the most atrocious of living crea-
lures. No animal, except man, kills
for the mere sake of killing. For one
being to take the life of another for
purposes OF selfish utility is bad
enough, conscience knows, but the in
discriminate massacre of defenseless
victims by armed and organized packs.
just for pastime. is beyond character
ization. The human species is the only
species of animals that plunges to such
depths of atrocity. Even vipers and
hyenas do not kill for recreation.
No animal. except man, habitually
seeks wealth purely out Of an insane
impulse to accumulate, and no animal,
except man, gloats over accumulations
that are of no possible use to him, that
are an injury and an abomination and
in whose acquisition he has committed
irreparable crimes upon others. There
are no millionaires-no professional, le-
Called, lifelong lsleptomaniacs-among
the birds and quadrupeds. No animal
except man spends SO large part of
his energies striving for superiority
not superiority in usefulness, but that
superiority which consists. in simply
getting on the heads of ones fellows to
crow--and no animal practices COM
mon, ordinary morality to the beings Of
the world in which he lives so little,
compared with the amount he breaches
it. as man.-Humane Review.
