a Night In Chinatown.

Many of the recent successes have
been along the melodramatic lines
and one of the biggest new ones in
that direction so far this season is
"A Night In Chinatown which
comes To the Opera House Thursday
February Sth.
The Monaghan portion of San Fran
cisco furnishes the playwright with a
superabundanee If facts aud striking
characters with which To vitalize and
intensity dramatic romance, and now
here are these resources more strongly
in evidence than is the mysterious To-
cality known as chinatown where
the Highbinders, the yellow skinned
ga mester. the victim of the deadly
poppy juice and the poorer classes who
have to seek cheap shelter, hide, prey,
swarm and intermingle. The gam
bling den, the dance hall, the opium
joints are there, and their riot, rascal
ity, physical and mental ruin, with
the vice, the rutfianism, the rags of the
Belle of Chlnatown's mongrel court
form the subject OF this play to which
the artists brush and the mechanics
skill have added fac-similes of the
haunts named and the adjacent slum
and streets. The Belle of Chinatown
will be in the hands Of that clever &C
tress Miss Louise Langdon.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
Fairmont Free Press Notes I'm

Coal Deals active in Marion Venetian
Glass Works a Winner What Ban
mister thinks about the Enterprise.

The following notes on the indus
trial situation in Marion county are
taken from the Free Press:
James Hair who has beet buying
| coal for J. NJ. Guffy in this and Mon
ongalia county, has paid out between
forty and fifty thousand dollars since
the lst of January, and nearly all of
this money has gone TO Marion county
people He has listed about $780,
600 more to be paid out by The first of
next April, so he tells the Great
Paper. This is scattering money with
lavish hand, and it has meaning
that is unmistakable.
The Venetian Glass Works are en-
ploying about twenty men and are
working full time. At present they
have an order for 500 gross of easter
eggs and 800 gross Of salt shakes.
Mr.. L. B. Bannister, who some of the
papers have spoken of as being con-
nected with the company, was here
recently and when approached as to
the intentions Of the company he
made known the fact that he had
nothing TO do with the concern direct
", the only connection he had had
with it was to secure them the orders
Oh which they are now working. He
said.
$50 far AS the factory being an in
dustrial addition to the town is con-
concerned that is an unknown guam
tity. but | do know that an active
business man, by investing say, from
81, 900 to 81. 600 could make a hand
some profit on his Investment.
"Just TO show you the possibilities
| will tell you that there is more than
100 per cent profit in the business.
For instance that order for 500 gross of
easter eggs will be sold for 1900 or
50. IS "A gross. It will cost to make
them 81, 400 or Sl.75 a gross, there is

INTERESTING RUMOR.
More Railroad Projects That may have
Some Truth Attached.

The Grafton Sentinel in it's last
issue had the following item of inter
est here:
Mr.. Geo. M. Whitescarver, in
company with Hon. Geo. c. Stur-
giss. made trip last week to New
York in the interest of the scheme
to enlist New York capitalists in
the project to build railroad from
the Morgantown and kingwood road
now building, to Belington. The
road will come in by way of Iron
dale Furnace to Thornton, and from
there across the country to Beling-
ton. 1t opens up a large area of coal
land and would be an important coal
road. Mr.. Sturgiss returned to New
York the last of the week on SINH
lar Grand The gentlemen working
this enterprise are quite sanguine OF
ultimate success. A branch is to be
run to Grafton from Thornton to
get the advantage of the trade of
this town.
The item probably grows out OF
the wish that something of the kind
may take place. At present it is too
early to say anything definite about
the matter.

POSTOFFICE MATTERS.
Free mail Delivery Sure at close
of Year.

Cannot Fail New--4monnt of Business
Done almost Great Enough now with
out the additional two Months Bust
ness-Seiyice will Hardly be Estab-
lished Before Late Summer.
The business done at the postoffiee
will easily place it in the next class by
the close OF the present fiscal year.
The receipts will run TO ten thousand
dollars even If they should fall to half
what they have been during the
coming two months. This lnsures
that we are to have free delivery after
this year.
The classification is to be made at
the close Of the present year and then
steps will be taken to establish the
system. This will take some time
and it will probabl" be the first of
August or September before we can
begin to have our mail delivered by
carrier. The department moves slow
ly in these matters and it will not
hurry any on account of the fact that
we want is badly.
While the receipts in the home Of
flee are rapidly growing the work on
the rural mail route number one is
also climbing upward. During the
month just closed twenty six hundred
pieces of mail were handled both in
coming and outgoing. IL has grown
almost from day to day and every day
that passes sees an increase in the
number of pieces taken out and
brought in.
The business done along this route
is added to the total of that done in
the postoffice and will help to place
it higher ia the scale. However we
would go up any way without the
help from this source. The increase
is now an absolute certainty and there
can be no failure.
The people living along the route
of the rural mail carrier are coming
more and more TO use it and they have
begun to take the daily papers in
numbers as they can have them
brought to their doors every day. The
carrier is having more to do but
while the roads are frozen solidly he
can get around his route in good
time. During the prevalence of the
mud he had a hard time Of 1T.

WEATHER STATISTICS.
Interesting Data Covering a Period OF
II Years.

The following data, covering a
period of II years, have been compiled
from the weather bureau records at
Parkersburg:

allure Of 43 degrees and the coolest

The Origin OF Coal.

The theory has been advanced that
petroleum Is Of mineral origin, and
that its production is going on and
may continue almost indefinitely.
The hypothesis is that water finds It's
way below the crust OF the earth and
there meets with carbides Of metals,
particularly OF iron, in glowing state.
Oil bearing strata occurs in the neigh
borhood of mountain regions, where
1t may be supposed that the disloca-
tions OF the strata afford passages for
the access OF the water. The water
is decomposed into its constituent
gasses; the oxygen unites with the
iron, while the hydrogen takes up the
carbon and ascends into higher re-
gions, where part of 1T is condensed
into mineral oil, and part remains as
natural gas, to escape where 1t can
find an outlet or to remain at great
pressure until bore hole is put down
TO provide 1t passage TO the surface.

FRANKFORT, Feb, 3.---Early
this morning Governor Goebel was
resting comfortably. His kidneys
were said to be performing their
functions better, obviating in a
degree the danger Of uraemic poi
soning. Dr.. Williams said he
breathed entirely from his left
lung; the right lung was clothed
with blood, which prevented fur
ther blesding, but later will prove
somewhat a source Of danger. The
clothed blood will deoompose in
about eight. days, and then it may
be necessary to remove a section
Of a rib in order to remove the
decomposed blood. The wound
will then be drained and the dan
ger then will be from secondary
hemorrhage. His iron will and
splendid constitution were said to
be the main features in keeping
him alive.

The Democratic Senators and Rep

next national conven tion. Its prin-

rebellion, organization of republic,
withdrawal of the army, abandon
ment of sovereignty, and substitution
of protectorate, retention of coaling
stations, and repayment by the Fill
pinos of the $40, 900, 900 paid for the
islands.
