The Newtown bee., 1901-03-22

A local lodge has two promising can didates in view. It was in one of New towns schools and the class in reading had the floor. They came across the word mechanic, and the teacher in ex- plaining it said carpenter, or stone mason or other factory worker was a mechanic. Whereupon one of the
 future voters piped up: "Well, my pop is Mason and am going to be one some day." "And I am, too," spoke up another bright boy. The applica- tionS have not been received by the secretary of the local lodge, but doubt less they will be a dozen years hence.

writer in The Independent claims to throw new light on the temperance crusade of Mrs Nation and others in Kansas. He says: 1.-The hard times of the early and middle '9O's were the days of the joints victory. Most of the towns of the state were hard up. The valuation was falling off, the taxes were high population was decreasing, and the interest on bonds issued,in flush days was becoming a

Were it not for the fact that the
spirit of retaliation is SO predominant
in the minds of the American people,
the observance of the ancient custom
would be general Be that as it
may, the day is always attended with
pleasure. 1t is on February 14th that
the youth, who is rendered speechless
by a pair of eyes, De they blue or
brown, takes heart and makes known
to the adored one, anonymously what
his tongue dares not utter.
1t would seem that the day was more
generously observed yesterday in this
city than on former ST. Valentines
days. Interviews with the merchants
who handled valentines revealed the
fact that there was an unprecedented
trade in that line. For the two days
previous to yesterday the stationery
stores took on an appearance of the
holiday season, and the sales were I'M
precedented. A marked feature was
the fact that the call was for more
OF the handsomer gifts and less of
the cheap affairs designated penny
terribles."
At the postoffice there was a very
big amount of city and incoming mails
handled. AS matter of fact, there
was large number of communications
held for insufficient postage. The
amount, however, of held matter is not
so large as last year.
Assistant Postmaster Davis said yes
terday that probably number of COM
plants would be received from people
receiving valentines of an obscene
character through the mails. In a num-
Der OF instances there are cases which
come under the section providing pen
atty for the sending of obscene matter
through the mails among the held mat
ter, IN unsealed envelopes. Oftentimes
people are caught up at it. The penalty
is not more than $4,000 fine nor more
than i've years in the penitentiary, or
pcth, at the discretion of the court.
Lots OF letters were received from
outside towns to be re-mailed to that
town. For example a letter already ad-
dressed would he received from Pitts
burg by the postmaster requesting
him to RENAL it here. The only
hitch to that plan of concealing the
identity of the sender is that by law
the postmaster is compelled to endorse
on Uhe back OF the envelope when and
how received. OF course, this gives
the snap away. Mr.. Davis said yester-
day that like instances occur every
day in the week.

not depend upon the leafet. The chill
dren can read the answer there them
selves. If you do not study during the
week you cannot expect to interest
your class on Sunday.
DR.. Duhring followed with an inter-
esting talk on the general work of the
Sunday school. He compared the
heather and Christian portions OF the
world and the progress that was being
made in the Sunday school work. The
principal points in his address were
What Shall We do to Make the Sun
day School Better" and And How
Are We to Make the Changer" He
compared the Sunday school of to-day
with that of thirty years ago and said
that one of the aims with the modern
school was to make the pupils COM
Portable. That the results of the Sum
day school are great is shown by the
fact that three,fourths of the bishops,
of the clergy and of the best church
people come from the Sunday school.
He also pointed out the fact that the
best results in the Sunday school come
from the poor, rather than the rich
people.
The Rt. Rev. Mr.. Penick closed
the addresses with summary
of the days work. The season
concluded with benediction by
the Rev. Birmingham. The conven-
ton adopted resolution to hold an
other session in the near future.

MARTINS FERRY.
Local News From the City of Mills
and Factories.

Local News From the City of Mills
and Factories.
while there are a number of citizens
IN favor of forming a Board of Trade
10 act in conjunction with the Wheel
ing BOARD, there are number of BUSH
ness men opposed to the movement,
and think that Martins Ferry should
act alone, while a number of others
think the best way to secure the best
benefits for the city is to be combin-
ed with Wheeling. Not in the history
OF this city has the public shown as
much interest as in the present matter
or Board of Trade, and many refuse
20 offer an opinion, as which is the
pest step to be taken, whether il be
body of this city, or one in conjunction
with Wheeling. 1t is well here to
state that the merchants Of this CITY
know that the majority of the trade
OF this city goes to Wheeling. and nat
urally they do not wish to add more
advantages to the metropolis of West
Virginia. and owing to this reason for
several years there has been a rivalry
between this city and Wheeling re-
garding the mercantile business. and
the West Virginia city has won by
long odds. One business man stated
that every manufacturing establish
ment started in this city was a direct
benefit to Wheeling, and that they re-
ceived the greatest benefit from same.
but that an establishment of the same
kind in Wheeling was of no benefit to
Martins Ferry. Others hold a differ
eIt opinion and claim that a manu-
featuring plant in Wheeling will give
employment to many Ohio citizens,
and be of much benefit to the Ohio
side. After the meeting of the citizens
Wednesday evening the problem re-
mains about the same, and as one
business man stated yesterday, there
should be a more uniform action
shown by the people if they expect to
gain any results. 1t is hoped that the
business men of Martins Ferry will
not allow this movement of progress
sion to stop, but that more energy will
be added and that some good results
may be accomplished, whether in con-
nection with Wheeling, or alone.
