Trouble in "Shtne" Business.

The trouble in bootblack circles in
creases as the days go by and showers
increase in frequency. This is not a
case where Greek meets Greek, but
one where Greek meets colored man
and hustles for business to the displeas-
ure and discontinue of the latter. Yes
terday the colored sinners accused John
Populias of the Pittsburg Shining Par
lors, of cutting the rate to five cents.
John denies this, saying that while a
shine" is but nickel a polish" is
still ten cents a single, but if Gus
toner buys a ticket good for twenty
shines it costs him but a dollar. He
says that is all they charge in first
class "parlors' in Pittsburg and Chi
cago. and he don't propose to have
Wheeling rank second in progress with
either of those cities. He says many
people come here from these cities, es-
peeially Pittsburg, and they get an i'm
preston this is a high-priced town if
he charges them dime for a plain
shine Mr. Populias has two shining
parlors in Wheeling on Market street,
and says there was big increase in his
custom yesterday. what want" sal
the classic sinner, is steady customers,
and that is why sell tickets good for
20 polishes or any kind of shine for
one dollar" The eoloreu sinners will
doubtless now meet the twentieth cen
fury price and gather in the shekels.

The Schirmer ordinance, which has

weeks, requiring social clubs which
supply drinks to their members to take
out license, was defeated last night by

given by the city attorney that such an
ordinance would conflict with the State
law.

BETHANY PROSPECTS
BRIGHTEST IN YEARS
ELEVEN HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND
IN TENNESSEE Donated TO
THE COLLEGE.
SURROUNDED BY OIL WELLS
And May Prove to he Very Nnlu-
nbIe-A Great Many obligations
Have Been observation-disclosures
Happy Over the situation--Pitts-
burg Man May Accept the Pres
idency.

The friends of Bethany College arc
happy over the financial prospects OF
that famous institution. The crisis has
passed. there is no more talk Of re-
moyal and college affairs are now in
better shape than they have been for
| twenty years. At the recent meeting
of the trustees, all we're in exceptionally
good humor over the financial showing
which was made. The State of West
Virginia has been pa the $4,000
loaned to the college. many other OBJ
legations have been discharged, and the
prospects for the future are very
bright.
An effort is being made to induce the
Rev Mr. Cramblett. of the East End,
Pittsburg, to accept the presidency. 1t
has been rendered TO him. and he now
has the matter under consideration
Mr. Cramblett is not only thoroughly
capable, but he is very energetic, and
he has the confidence of men of means
in his own city.
Some years age friend of Bethany
decided to the institution LOO acres of
wild land in Tennessee, which was be-
lieved at the time to be worth very lit
tie. There is a possibility, however,
that this tract of land may yet come to
the rescue of old Bethany. and prove
remedy for all her financial ailments.
Oil prospectors have been going
through Tennessee, and have struck
some very productive wells. The de-
fined territory has been gradually APP
preaching the Bethany 100 acre tract,
and oil has been struck in such close
proximity as to at least inspire the
friends of Bethany with hope. Many OF
them feel confident that oil in paying
quantities will be found upon the land.

A STRANGE LAKE.
The Pcculiarities of n Body of Water
 lii Australia.

lii AuStraIIu.
 Lake George is situated about four miles from the railway station at Bun gendOre, Australia, and has for many years engaged the attention of scien- tific men by reason of the singular and ineXplicable phenomena connected with it. Tie estimates of its size vary con- siderably according to circumstances, but when moderately full about 20 by miles will be found tolerably correct. At either end the land is fully 100 feet the lake, which possesses no known outlet, although it is fed by numerous mountain creeks.
 The lake was discovered by bush man in 1920 and was known to the blacks as tue "bg water" It was then Supposed to form the source of a river having its mouth on the south coast, but subsequent visitors were much perpleXed at the manner in which the blacks avoided the late, of which they appeared to entertain a superstitiOuS dread, one aged aboriginal stating she had seen it all covered with trees. an other explaining that the whole of the water sunk through the bottom and disappeared, while others remembered the lake only as a series of small ponds.
 During the following % years con- siderable variations were noted in the depth and extent of the lake. In 1911 the lake became partially dried up, the moist portions being simply grassy swamps. A few months later large numbers of sheep were pastured in the bed of the lake, but fresh water had to be cartCd for the use of the shepherds, that of the lake being toe salt for hu- man consumption. The place remained more or less dry until 1852, the year of the great floods in that part of the col Ony, when it again became filled, with an average depth of nine feet. Since then the surface level of the lake has varied considerably, but the bed has never been so dry as in former years There are indications that many hun dreds of years ago the lake covered far larger area than any yet recorded, remains of trees over 100 years old be, ing found in spots formerly under wa ter. The saline character of the lake is the more remarkable by reason of it's being fed by pure and sparkling fresh water streams.

THE BARGAIN CRAZE.

 "This perennial joke about the love of women for bargains wearies me-" said bright business woman the other day. With most presumptuous supe- riority men charge our sex with an eX- travagant zeal for bargains, but see enough of business men to assure me that they are just as eager as women are to get an article at few cents less than the usual price.
 'Mr. A Is generally extravagant in his personal expenditures, but he is keen after bargains. The other day he came into our office wearing an air of great satisfaction. and his jubiIation had no other foundation than the dis covery of street stand where sec Onds in lead pencils were sold at 2 cents each.
