put toray on a fusion or mule ticket
that they violated the law and had to
be called down by the Dauphin county

was any chance To iugglc with the

be the last men in the world to sup

they would want the "swas" them
selves.
We repeat that Democrats are under
no more obligation To support the Wan
amakcr wing of the Republican party
than to support the Quay or regular
wing. Their party has absconded and
left them without Democratic ticket.
The best thing they can do is To re-
buko that act of political periidy on
the part of Gulfey and his retaners
by voting this fall the only straight
party ticket in the field. which is the
Republican ticket.

CINCINNATI, January 25.-Mayor
Julius Fleischmann to-day granted the
Saengerfest Athletic Association a
permit to have two sparring matches
at the Saengerfest building on Febru-
airy 18th, one of ten rounds and one of
twenty. The committee called on the
Mayor and presented it's plea that the
permit be issued at once. hey stated
that in view of the fight being made
against the proposed contest between
Jeffries and Rubin to aid in lifting the
Saengerfest debt, they did not think
that it was just TO them that the May
or should withhold his permit until
two days before the fight was schedul-
ed to come off. The committee inform
ed the Mayor that if fight were to
be made in the courts against the con-
test it should be done at once. They
asserted that the contracts for remod-
cling the Saengerfest hall had been let
and the work was ready to be pushed
when the permit was granted. The
Mayor said that he had not before had
these views presented to him. He ad-
mitted their force and at once issued
the permit.

Paine's celery compound has been for
years, and is now, the general prescrip-
ton of most eminent practitioners OF
medicine in this country. 1t is the re-
suit of the best scientific knowledge and
research of the last quarter of century
1t is in no sense a patent medicine. and
for that reason more physicians of high
standing are using, prescribing, and rec

Senator Dwyer had used various medi-
cines, and they had done him no good.
Just how Paine's celery compound was

John Howell, janitor of the I. o. o.
F. building, died last night at eight
O'Clock, at his residence No. ISL Six
teenth street, in the seventy fifth year
of his age, as nearly as could be as
ceHtained last night. He is survived
by his wife and three children, two
daughters and one son.
John Howell was one of the best
known men in Wheeling. When the
State capital was removed here from
Charleston, in 1875, he was appointed
janitor and engineer of the building,
new known as the Court House and
City Hall, under the Executive admin
istration of the late John ]. Jacob.
and remained in that position during
the gubernatorial terms Of Henry Ma
son Mathews and Jacob Beeson Jack
son. During these ten years he was
thrown into contact with many men
of high standing from all quarters Of
the State, and formed a wide acuuaint-
anceship, that grew into close friend
ships in many instances by an appre-
citation of his sterling qualities. When
the capital was removed from Wheel
ing to Charleston and the Public
Building reverted to the city Mr..
Howell was retained as janitor and en-
of 10 Ill
end, and held that position during the
Democratic control of the city govern
ment. In the spring of 1898 he was
chosen as custodian and janitor of the
West Virginia building at the Chicago
Worlds Fair, and in that responsible
and important position met many hun
dreds of people from this State and
countless visitors from all parts of
the Union, enlarging his acquaintance
ship and renewing and deepening old
friendships. His kindness was an ev-
er prominent trait of his character,
and neither time nor trouble were &C
counted by him as worth a thought
when benefit would accrue to others.
And of this the writer has personal
knowledge and retains a cherished
recollection.
Returning to Wheeling Mr.. Howell
was soon permanently installed as the
janitor and custodian of the l. O. o. F..
building at Twelfth and Chapline
streets, and retained that Office until
his death last evening, enjoying the
respect and esteem of all who knew
him-and they were many. He had
only been i'll since Monday last, and
pneumonia was the cause of death
the announcement of which will come
as a shock to many intimate friends.
John Howell was a friend to his
friends; they will unite in the hope
that the good acts of this life spring
ing from a kindly heart, will bring
a fitting reward in the life to come.
