mitted by the Architects-The Di-
rectOrs Will Hold q Meeting for

Other Board of Trade Matters.

The stockholders OF The Board Of

two o'clock yesterday afternoon. There
was a good attendance of the stock
holders. The first business taken up
was the adoption of the bylaws. They
contain no unusual provisions and are
Of interest to stockholders only.
Hon. Geo. A. Laughlin was chosen as
chairman and Mr.. Adams acted as sec
rotary. The bylaws provide for seven
directors, and the following named gen.
tlemen were elected upon the Board:
Joseph Speidel, George A. Laughlin, H.
w. Mcclure, Harry C. Franzheim, Am
brose S. List, George e. Stifel and
George e. House.
The stockholders ratified the action
taken by the subcommittee on build

charged the committee. The commit
tee adopted plans for the proposed new
building prepared by Architects E. B.
Franzheim and Fred F. Faris. Mr..
Franzheim was present with his draw
ings and explained them to the stock
holders.
The Directors decided to meet next
Wednesday night for organization.
The plans will then be passed upon by
the Board, but until that time the de-
tails will not be made public. 1t is
possible that some changes will he
made when it is determined just how
much space will be devoted to the
Board of Trade quarters, the Office
rooms and the theatre.
The contract for razing and remov-
ing the old court house has been let to
Michael Clark, and was signed yester-
day. The work will commence on
Monday. 1t is expected that the con-
tract for the building will be let soon,
and that work upon the new structure
| will commence early in the spring.

corning the various Boards of Trade,
the local Board will be placed in COM
munication with many parties, and will
be in position to place the advantages
of Wheeling where such information
will be of benefit. Secretary Thomp-
son has received requests for informa-
ton from the German consul In New
York, from the Austro-Hungary con-
sulate in Pittsburg, and from the
| Washington bureau of the Cologne
Gazette. They want information about
local factories and about West Vir-
ginia's trade, etc. These and similar
requests have moved the Secretary to
carry out his purpose. as stated in the
Register several days ago, to compile
and publish a report which will set
forth in detail the various facts which
| will answer all these questions. Mr..
Thompson has been at work, while not
otherwise engaged, eve since the or
g~anization of the Board upon the re-
port referred to.

why the Oyster Crop yails.

It is pointed out that partial fail
IRE OF the oyster crop in certain years,
the diminution in size Of oysters on
the market and the extinction Of
many oyster beds that formerly were
famous-tho Saddle Rocks, for in
stance-have been due to want OF ma
terial for the production Of the oyster
shell. The beds throughout the oyster
belt have steadily deteriorated in late
years, and in many cases become ab-
solutely worthless, in spite Of the fact
that food has been supplied artii-
eially at great expense and trouble,
ynd wire fences have been used to
protect the oysters from the star
fish. For this trouble the deflement
Of the water by sewage and waste Of
various manufacturing establishments
have usually been blamed, sometimes
justly, sometimes without cause.
What the oyster plant must have, OF
it will perish, is full supply Of car
Donate Of lime with which to build
its shell. Near the mouths of rivers,
where carbonate of lime in mechan-
ical solution, as it is expressed, comes
down from the hills and plains of the
interior in drainage, the oyster has
sll the material it needs for building
it's house, and at the same time the
inhowing tide brings it ample food.

DAMAGES For Lvnching.

Among The reuelles tor lynchlng
hat have been proposed Is one that
no.ds the couoty IN which the |. nohlDg
oocuts liable for dam ages TO the heirs
of the person IYuched. South Carolina
and Onio has embodied this plan in a
statute, but It has proved dead letter.
Fwo suits have b=en brought under II
aod in neither was there recovery.
But in one ms aace damages have been
paid for lynching. The case was that
of man who was lynched at Versilles,
Ind, for horse stealing. His widow eD.
tered suit for $1,000 IN the Unit, d
States circut cours st Chicago against
the bondsnen OF the sheriff of the
couoty where the ly aching occurred. The
boodsmen offered 81 200 as conpro-
mise and it was accepted. This Is the
drst instance of the kind on record.
The question as 10 the jurisdiction OF
federal courts in cases # lynchlng is
not affected by this case, as it never
came to trial. 1t is safe to say that had
il been called it would have been thrown
out of court as 20 theory Of federal
jurisdiction that We are aware Of would
sustain such action.

TWO Suicides IN one Fi1E

The disappearance Of Z. Churchill
lofmsn several months ago from Allan
ia was local sensation and the news OF
his suicide in New York caused little
surprise. He had been connected with
the Southern Agricultural works as gen.
ersl manager and was president Of the
Georgia Handle Company. When the
agricultural works failed he was called
on to account for eerssin funds s-d US
te,ial which he failed TO DO. The coR'
psny failed and Cofmsn disappeared
Prior to the failure Of the two concerns
Cofnan had lived handsomely He
left the city when he saw demands made
m him for cash and property Of the two
companies 90 would be pressed. lie left
his wife and child here in apartments.
Mrs Cofmsn was much disturbed over
the troubles AID the disappearance Of
her husband and soon after he left she
quickly departed. This is the second
death that has occlrrrd as result Of
the failure Of the Southern Agricultural
Works, as Mr.. 8. Landauer, its former
committed suicide.

Making Restitution.

The vile OF New York defsulter,
whose name Is much IN the puolio
PRINTS, has aided IL restitution TO the
pluuoereo bank by surrenderlng $3.50,
OUU worth of dlsmonos aud j=welrs.
Much IS being made Of her devotion In
consenting to this step, and perhaps
justly, because she might have lmltat-
ed many plouicent examples BY frecs-
Ing on to ail that there was in sight.
While recognizing fully the sacrifice
made by the lady, there is side to the
transaction too Likely to be overlooked,
and frcm which we should extract the
real Lesson of the case. When the wife
of 50 700 year bank teller becomes
the recipient OF sl5U, 900 in Presents, IS
it not about tine tor her TO inquire
into the source of all this wealth?
Much may be granted TO the want of
acquaintance with Business methods
By which woman may be embar
rAssed, but the dullest wife IN the
world knows that she can buy no greA-
ter value in j.welry with thousand
dollars than she can in potatoes and
parsnips. Ihe lesson is very simple
one, known to women as well as to men,
that llVltg above ones means must be
at the expense If some one else. When
81 DAY man invests $40 a day in
carriage ride or when So, UOO year
man Is able to hold his own with his
500 900 neighbor, it requires no spe.
ciAl skill to come TO = conclusion. Much
Of human misery springs from man
pauperlng Of his own sppetites; it is
largely accelerated when he has wife
whose anxiety for first place blinds her
to the cost. 1t is not necessary to true
happiness to bc either in the swim or on
the visiting list Of those who, for the
season, lead society. The pleasure Of
home and the enjoyment Of the fulfil
ment Of natural duties will bring less
pyroteohniclsm, but longer lease Of
real happiness.

TIE BoARDoF HEALTH
Will Insist on Some Change IL the
Health Laws.

The State bosrd Of health held its
annual meeting here Thursday in the
Office OF the secretary Of state, all the
member being present save Attorney
General Belllnger, who is confined to
his bed by sickness.
The session was quite a long one aud
many matters Of vital concern to the
people Of the State we're fully and
thoroughly discussed preliminary to
the approval of the annual report. The
report was finally completed in all de-
tails and in the afternoon vas sent to
the State printer. The board will make
several recommendations to the legis,
la,ure and will insist upon certain
changes in the health laws that are
deemed absolutely necessary to the
efficient working Of the State board of
health.
The smallpox situation vas very
fully discussed, Dr.. Evans the secre.
tary giving very much the same in
formation that he had furnished, the
governor. Since then, however, the
disease has spread and is now in sew
eral addiuonal counties. The town of
Union, Dc. Evans says, has been the
greatest and almost sole source of In
fectlon during the year. Tne State
board cannot take charge in an incor
porated town without proclamation
from the governor. The board holds
that if it is to BE- expected to stamp out
contagious and lnf7ctious diseases it Is
absolutely necessary for the legislature
to give it ab,oluse jurisdiction over the
State. This is earnestly urged uron
the body.
The board feels also that a registra-
ZION law enabling it to obtain birth,
marriage and death statistics from the
towns and cities, ind.ed the entire
State, is very essential to its work. The
present Law is no5 working sstlstacto
rlly. FJr instance no birth statistics
are obssinaole frsm Colum Ola as things
stand. The board viii present Eemo
1ial 80 the genersl assembly 10 pass an
act requiring such statistics, providing
heavy penalty for Physicians falllng
to i.e reports with proper Oh ,ia!s, N sk-
Tag the county supervisor county
health officer and the road COMMISSION
ers sownsnlp health off ,ers.
The meeslng Wednesday also devel
oped the facs thai the new act relating
60 the transportation Of dead bodies,
which is the same In other States, Is not
oelng enforced as it snou.d be. Tne
matter with instances ciIed has been
referred 10 the attorney general foE
nls consideration and suoh steps as he
may deem necessary.
The report prepared, slough incom-
plete insofar ss sta5lstics are concerned,
will be full of interesting Mattel

TALE WITH MARS
Nicola Tesla Thinks BE Eas Found 9
Twentieth Century Secret.

Not quite two years ago MI. Nicola
Tesla. went out to Colorado to conduct
experiments in relation to the wirless
transmission OF energy which has en-
gagged mis- attention for several years.
Mr.. Tesla fouad it necessary in order
to carry on his inventions and his e1-
periments to the extent be desired to
work at an altitude of several thousand
feet. He found c ,nditions suitable for
his purposes in Coloraso and went out
there IN the spring OF 1899, built Ia
oratory about ten miles from Pike Peak
and went to work.
What be accomplished in the eight
or nine months while he was working
there he has kept pretty much to him
self ever since, bus when the National
Red Cross which was arranging for
tne end of the century meetings Of its
various branches throughout the coun
sry asked mr. Tesla to indicate what
10 his opinion, would be one Of the
greatest achievements Of the coming
century, he gave just q hiut of one OF
the wonders ne discovered ID Colorado.
In 8 more elaborate way MIR. Tesla
dwelt or his work to reporter. He re
CARDS his latest results as far and away
the most important he has ever attain
ed. Briefly, Tesla has oeeo able to note
novel manifestation Of energy which
he knows IS not of solar of terrestrial
origin and, being neither, he concludes
that 1t must emanate from one Of the
planets. While he was con0uc ing his
Inventions IN his Colorado Ia aorArery
one day, the instrument he Was uS!nk
TO observe the electrical oondltlon OF
cne esrrh was affected In an uosccoua
cable manner. Ii recorded .hree Ilstlocl
though very faint movements one after
he o,h r.
These movements we're observed not
1nce, but many lmes, ths nuuoer Of
impulses varying, and Mr. Tesla now
drnly believes that, With improved
apparatus, 1t will oe quite possible for
he people of the eartn 10 Com uunlcate
With the lnhsDl,snts of OF der planets.
