two doctors; one is a banker and mer-
chant, another is a banker and manu-
facturer, and there is one each of the
following: miller, travelling salesman,
horticnlturist, insurance agent, tim
Der dealer and manufacturer.
The house shows greater variety
OF occupants on the part Of the mem

lead, the number being eighteen

SUPERINTENDENT HENDERSON
Of the Tyler, Texas Public Schools Do.
Ing Great Work.

The following from the Tyler,
Texas, Daily Courier will be read with
interest here. Prof. Henderson who
has been the city superintendent for
several years was educated here and
his wife is also Morgantown lady,
Miss Kate Dorsey. We are pleased TO
note the successful work he Is doing:
1t is gratifying to the Courier to
gain direct attention OF its readers to
the progress that is being made In the
Public schools in our city under the
management OF the superintendent,
Prof. j. Il. Henderson. The Courier
had observed in him fine ability and
high merit. II felt that the thing
lacking ia him TO impress our citizens
with his usefulness was the oppor-
| tunity; and hence it announced in
thesecolumns decided preference for
him as superintendent Of our city
schools about two years ago. His
election by the school board for this
position followed soon afterwards.
He was furnished with this oppor-
tunity and has used it ia demonstrate
ing the wisdom of the board In its
selection of him for this responsible
and high duty.
The high standing of our city
schools under his management has
met with favor not only ia Tyler but
with the best schools IN Texas.
The Courier predicts now that ia
| five years be will be classed with the
highest and the most successful edu-
Gators in the South. Age. correct
ness and energy, coupled with lofty
ambition fit him admirably for the
position he holds in educational work
| In our state.
The Courier and the citizenship Of
Tyler are proud of Prot. Henderson
and appreciate the valuable work he
is doing for the children who attend
the city schools. As one of the many
evidences that our city schools are
worthy of approval, we publish in an
other column a letter addressed to
Prof. Henderson by Hon. Il. L. Foster
president of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College OF Texas, and In
which he is notified that the faculty
OF this state institution has enrolled
the Tyler Public schools and that
graduates of our schools will be adj
mitted without examination 10 the

4 Card From John f. Price.
70 the Editor NEw DOMINION.

y
saw ia your paper Of the 10th and
also of the gath inst, the false and
misleading statements from Shoemaker
Il Gidley in regard 10 the work 10 be
done at the Cheat River bridge.
Now TO set the readers Of your val.
liable paper Alright, as we'll as the pub
lie In general | wish to make the
following statement which | am able
Co prove by the papers Ia my posses
sion.
In the first place the county court
posted a notice that they would re.
ceive sealed bids for the work To be
done up To the 10th OF January at
p. ~, and stated that the specitica-
tions for said work could be seen at
the clerks Office.
The specifications stated that the
work was TO be done by the cubic yard
for the excavation, aud not separate.
There were seven bids pnt in, all or
which were In proper form except the
bids of Shoemaker y Gidley. The bids
are as follows:
Cody & Saunders, SIC per cubic yard.
Wm. Smith, 81 per cubic yard.
Il. b. & j. Il. Price, Toe per cubic yd.
O. z. Simmon, 81. 20 per cubic yard.
VIM. Correll, $l.io per cubic yard
Col. r. j. Gilmore, 81. so per cubic yd.
Shoemaker Medley, stone work$3 per yd
g 9 fill, Toe per yard.
. /" excavat'g Ace per yd
Their bid was not ia the form re-.
quired by the court and was not con-
sidered.
The engineer In charge Of the work
made rough estimate that there
would be in the aggregate about 1000
GU. yadrs, of the excavation and we
based our bid on that estimate as the
ground has not been staked ell yet.
and no one knows how much excavat-
ing is to be done. | do not know who
told Shoemaker & Gidley that there
would be $500 Gu. yards as | never
thought there would be that much
and only hope there will that much or
more.
We based our bid ON 2,27l Gu. yards
and that Is cents Gu. yard would
make 81, 703. % for the job and not
81, GIG, as Shoemaker & Gidley would
have the people believe.
Their estimate for the work Is 81, 200
ours is 81, 1903. % or s496. Is less than
their bid.
The bids are on file in my office Just
as they were handed TO the court and
any one is at liberty to examine them
and see ii the facts are not just as
have stated them. We handed in our
bid just as any one else would and did
not know what any one had bid. Our
bid was considered with the others
and had 1t not been the lowest the
court would not have considered 1t
and we would not have been awarded
the contract.
1t is unjust to the court and TO my
self for any one TO intimate that we
did not act fairly and in good faith In
this matter and any statement to the
contrary is misleading and false.

TWO CENTS
WANTS AN INVESTIGATION
But We Don't Think That Especially
Necessary.
Charleston Gazette

Another resolution to investigate
the University has been adopted by
the House. Now let the investiga-
tion be made.a and let it be 80 thorough
that when the report is written there
will be no doubt as to its having
been properly made. If the investi-
CATION develops the necessity for
change in the management of the
affairs Of the institution, let that
change he made; If It shows that the
management Is ali right, then let
the reports Of it's being all wrong be
set at rest. If it be found that there
is a faction in the faculty that is at
fault, let that faction be removed; If
ii finds there are two factions at
fault, let both be weeded out, and
men put in their places who will
hold themselves above taetional
strife in public affairs But above
and beyond all let there be no at
tempt at whitewashing, for il half
the reports about the school are
true, even the saving grace Of time
will not serve TO save it from utter
decay.
Every citizen of West Virginia is
interested In that University, every
one should wish to see il builded up
TO high position among the lead
ing educational institutions Of the
country, and for that reason there
should be no hesitation about laying
the axe of reform at the root OF
whatever rottenness may exist in its
management, so that its growth may
be rendered sound aud its fruit
wholesome.
Let the Investigation he made, let
it be thorough, let it be impartial, to
the end that its results may be last
ing, its benefits unmistakable, its
example instructive. Then, when
the University has been freed from
whatever of mismanagement from
which II suffers, let us all get to-
gether and by sincere and patriotic
endeayor, and continued one, build
it up to point where it will be an
honor to ourselves, credit to the
State, and benefaction to the rising
generation.

TWO MORE PHILIPPINES BOUGHT
For 100000 - Cibitu and Cagayan
Escaped When the $50, 900, 900 Deal
Was Made In Paris.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25-By just q
two thirds vote the Senate ratified
the treaty providing that this Gov
eminent shall pay to Spain 800, 600
for Cibitu and Cagayan, two islands
Of the Philippine Archipelago which
through the carelessness Of the Peace
Commissioners were not included in
the treaty at Paris. The vote was
38 to 10, with the Democratic Sena-
tors Daniel, Martin, McLaurin and
McEnery voting with the Republi-
cans.
Senator Mason made the princi-
pal speech in opposition TO ratitica-
tion. He asserted that the Spanish
Government was acting in bad faith
and that the effort to collect an ad
ditional 100000 was nothing more
than blackmail. The islands, he
said. had already been paid for in
the S20,000,000 appropriation for
the Philippines.
Senator Lodge explained that un-
less the two islands were paid for
now the Spanish Government would
turn them over to the German Gov
eminent. He said that the United
States could well afford to pay 800
900 to avoid complication with
that Government.
