quality of the pictures, but of the pic

The reproduction of the tricks OF q

Improvements to Churc Build
ings-NOtes of Interest.

When 1t was first decided to secure
a new organ for ST. Matthews P. E.
church, it was expected that the in
strument would be in position for the
Easter Sunday services. If a contract
had been awarded in accordance with
the original plahs, this would have
been possible, but as a matter of fact
no contract has yet been awarded. The
vestrymen saw no necessity for haste
in the matter, and when the new in
strument is finally purchased, it will
no doubt be found that they will have
profited by their delay in the matter.
1t is the intention to secure a finer and
larger instrument than any church or
gan in the city, and this, in connec-
ton with other improvements contem-
plated, will make st. Matthews n of
the cosiest and handsomest church edi-
fees in the State.

The Ruegger Concert.

There is a good prospect that to-

the Carroll Club Auditorium, will prove
a splendid success. The charming
young artist ONES to our city follow
ing the invitation Of a compatriot of
hers, and highly recommended by the
most severe critics. She justly de-
serves a rousing reception by a large
audience. Wheeling will have the
rare chance of hearing a brilliant per-

now erecting a building on the ground
adjoining the Terminal depot on Mar

Cormack's desire to get into business
was the only factor in causing his res
ignation is not known. 1t has long
been an open secret that he and the
Sheriff did not pull together. and it is
thought an ante-election agreement of

1t is not likely that there has been any
recent outbreak of hostilities, as Sher-

James X. Hall takes his former op-
ponent, Charlie Henning, with him on
his excursions to the interior of the
State. Mr.. Hall finds Charlie very
valuable in "jollying" the natives in
the back counties, and Charlie is
shrewd enough to see a future for
himself in all of it. Henning's advo-
cacy of the candidacy of Hall, by the
way, was one of the most remarkable
f~ip-flops in the history of local poll
tics. 1t has caused a great many local
politicians in both parties to wonder
what Charlie has been promised for
his withdrawal. It's a safe guess that
it's something nice, as a man who has
enjoyed six years of such a fat thing as
Clerk of the Circuit Court would not
