DIR. PURINTON.s ELECTION.

The selection by the Board of Regents
of the State University, yesterday, Of
DR.. D. B. Purinton to be the President
of the institution has been discounted
in advance and will give general salts
faction throughout the State, and par
ticularly to the people of Morgantown,
where he spent so many years, both as
student and as an instructor in the
institution over which he is now called
to preside. Educated at the University,
he was its acting president in 1881 and
1882, and the next year was chosen to
the chair of metaphysics, where he re-
NAMED until 1890, when he was elected
President of Dennison College, and has
been at the head of that prominent Ohio
school until the present time. DR.. Purin-
tons abilities are undoubted and it will
be the universal wish of all that he will
be enabled to meet the difficulties of
his responsible position and to place
the University upon higher plane than
it has ever before attained, and in this
effort he will have undivided support.

SCORED A DISMAL FAILURE.

Four Whitestone, New York, bache-
lors, after long and familiar associa-
ton with each other and with sundry
of the fair sex, came to the unanimous
conclusion that there were no girls in
that town worth marrying, and that
ley would just assemble together in
little house of their own and keep
bachelors hall" The were to do all
the house-work, including the cooking.
and fancied they would have a jolly
time. They fitted up an establishment
and moved in. Louncelot Jones was
the chef, and he could cook fried
chicken, planked shad and boil eggs.
They stood it for two months, and then,
one day, Jones was found eating meal
in restaurant. That was the begin
ming of the end. The other three tried
him for treason, and he pleaded guilty.
Then Frank Murphy, another of the
gang" threw up his hands and re-
marked: 81 know girl who cooks corn
beer and cabbage like an angel, and
I've got good mind to marry her."
Then another, one Twyman, remarked
wearily: ''The kitchen sinks all stop
ped up, and I'm sick of trying to black
the stove. Let's quit" And they did.
Men can't keep house." said Murphy
in explanation. Our board cost us
about eight dollars week apiece, and
we never had anything fit to eat I'm
sick of delicatessen and sardines, and
we never could settle who was to wash
the dishes" There's a moral attached
to this true story of personal exper-
fence, somewhere. Perhaps some young
lady can find it.

It's by the words of the people that DIR.
A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills have come into
such active demand The announcements
for this medicine are not dependent on
the testimony of people so far away that
they cannot be authenticated. It's home
evidence that convinces, because easily
substantated. It's the simplest statement
of things done and told in the words of
the relieved
Mr.. J. Myles. of ~ Coal street. Wheeling.
w. Va, says:"Dr. A. w. Chases Nerve
Pills are grand. I was nervous and sleep
less-my daughter suffered the same way
both cases were completely cured by the
medicine-the nerves made steady and the
sleep natural. My son was sick with
weak irregular heart action for two years
nothing helped him until he took the pills
we got at the Logan Drug Co s store
He says they are fine and have given him
physical and nerve strength and regulated
the heart action to the point of steadiness
We can't say too much for the medicine"

A TYPICAL MUNICIPAL STEAL.


The passage by the Philadelphia
Council, virtually without compensation
to the people, of fourteen franchise Or
dinances for surface, elevated and I'M
foreground roads, the contemptuous re-
fusal of the offer by John Wanamaker
Of two million and half dollars in
cash for the privileges thus conferred,
the refusal of Mayor Samuel H. Ash
bridge to veto the measures, and his
prompt signature of the documents,
makes up one of the most fragrant cases
of grand larceny from the people ever
carried out by set of city officials any
where on earth. Mr. Wanamaker's Of
fer was a bona fide one, and in letter
to the Mayor he distinctly stated that
he stood ready to pay in cash the sum
above named. His letter promptly went
into the Mayors waste paper basket,
and then that official, with a duty
and an obligation to look after the in
terests of his fellow citizens, hurriedly
signed the gifts bestowed by a body
having less regard for the public inter-
ests, if such thing be possible, than
the Mayor himself, and rights worth
many millions were transferred to polit
deal and capitalistic favorites.
Had Mr. Wanamaker's offer been ac-
cepted the city would have received a
vast sum of money. Under the condi-
tions of the ordinances now laws the
city will in all probability never receive
a cent of compensation 1t is true the
franchises provide that the city shall
receive five per cent of the net annual
profits after six per cent. dividend
shall have been declared on the capital
stock, but this five per cent. would be a
very small thing at best and it would
be easy to increase the stock, through
issues consisting of nothing but water,
from time to time, until there would
never be. any net profits to divide. In
other words the franchises were prac-
tically free gift to those who asked
for them. The Philadelphia Council
men who voted for these measures, and
Mayor Ashbridge, who so promptly
signed them, should be impeached and
removed from Office on charges and
specifications setting forth gross negli-
gence of the public interests. And the
last Council of the city of Wheeling
should have been dealt with in the same
manner for an identical piece of bust
ness, although on smaller scale.
