this Afternoon-0ther Sessions To-
night and Saturday.

Htght anu SaIuEddAA
The last session OF the Mononga-
hela Valley Teachers Round Table
is in session here. Several out OF
town teachers aud superintendents
are in Morgantown. They will re.
main until Saturday when they will
conclude their labors and adjourn
for the year. The meetings will be
/ resumed next fall when the schools
of the section from which the mem.
bers are drawn, open again.
Prot. w. *. Gallup took advan-
tage of the presence of the visitors
and scheduled the annual parents
day for to-day. All day to. day the
school children and their work have
been Oh parade. Each of the little
ones has borne an air Of conscious
superiority and from the evidences
of their ability as given in each room
they have right to be proud.
All of tue rooms are decorated
with designs of various kinds and
Of varying beauty Many Of the
specimens Of the handiwork OF the
pupils are on display and the par
ents and others who have visited the
schools have been astonished at the
display.
Much of the work done would be a
credit to people of much larger
growth and when it is remembered
that the children are OF tender years
for the most part it is made all the
more remarkable.
Hundreds of people attracted by
the beauty of the day have been in
to see the building and visit the
teachers and pupils. There has
been a constant stream of them and
they have all been pleased. There
is no doubt that the schools are do
ing excellent work and this annual
exhibition does a great deal to draw
the patrons and the institution itself
into closer relations.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the
first session of the Round Table was
called together. Other sessions will
be held at Z 80 this evening and at
9 o'clock to morrow. The attend
ance is not very large but the people
OF Morgantown can rest assured that
their schools have made decidedly
favorable impression on the visitors
who are here

CHECKS To BE REDEEMED
A Statement .Concernig the War Reve-
nue. Reduction Act, Which Goes Into
Effect July LIST.

For the information of the public
the Internal Revenue Bureau has is
sued statement regarding the war
revenue reduction act which becomes
operative July lst 1901, and which the
treasury officials are actively making
preparations TO carry into effect, The
statement says: ssAll documentary
and proprietary stamps in.the hands OF
purchasers on aud after July lst, 1901
will be redeemed BY the Government

Il, 1900 Such stamps should be
presented for redemption by the own
ers thereof to the Collector OF Internal
Revenue, from whom they were pur-
chased, who will supply the applicant

Dreyfus' own story.

A powerful chapter from one OF the
most remarkable OF recorded human
experiences, appears in MeClures Mag.
azine for May-Captain Alfred Drey-
fuss Own Story Of his arrest, degra-
dation and transportation to DEVILS
Isle. To this story is added portion
of the Diary kept by Dreyfus on the
island, for his wife. And referred to
SO often and so mysteriously in the
Rennes trial, but never made public.
A more intense and convincing express
sion Of human agony than that found
ia these fragments is Uncomfortable.
From first to last it il evident that
the sufferer is beWildered and madden
ed by what has befallen him, and
that all which keeps him from insan-
ity or death is his determination to
prove that his prosecutors are pow
erless TO overthrow what he calls the
sovereignty Of the SOUL These dra-
matte passages make 1t clear, too, that
Dreyfus was compelled TO undergo
on the DEVILS Isle every ignominy
and hardship his jailers could devise,
even TO close confinement in a hut en-
closed ny palisades and shut out from
air and light. with double irons upon
his legs through the night.
The book from which this remarka-
bic document is taken, containing the
story OF Dreyfus's five years OF suffer
ing and Imprisonment, is TO be pub
lished by Mcclure, Phillips & Co. In
May.

Waterbury Democrat., 1901-07-16

Democrats have done q great deal of talking among themselves about the Ohio democratic platform, but few of them care to express opinions about it f1. publication. One of the exceptions is Representative Bankhead of Ala bama. who said of it: .sThe Ohio plat form is all right and should receive the support of every democrat i'll the Buckeye state. It conforms to exist ing conditions and states the issues of the campaign in language clear enough for anybody to understand. I suppose the republicans thought the democrats would reaffirm the Kansas City platform and renew allegiance to Mir Bryan and all that sort of thing. But they were fooled. Mir Bryan, I am satisfied. is as popular with the democrats of Ohio as he was i'll 1896 and in 1900, but there was no need or necessity to discuss him in the state convention. It would have added nothing to have placed free silver ill the platform, and it might have caused q division in the ranks. As it is, the Ohio democrats have agreed to bury the past and have formed line Of battle on conditions that have arisen since the last campaign. l believe as conventions are held in other states, the people will witness the democratic leaders following in the footsteps of the Ohio democrats. The democrats of the south have the greatest respect for MT Bryan and he can always de pend upon a royal welcome when he comes among us. 1t does not signify that he has lost popularity when the democrats in convention decline to mention in state platforms the issues as set forth in the late national con yention. We must meet changed con- ditions and that cannot be done by sticking to the issues of the past" As to immediate national issues, Mir Bank head said: '.The republicans seem 10 be divided on the question of tariff revision and the adoption of reciproci- ty treaties. I am ill favor of tariff re vision, and it must come sooner or Iater I am opposed to trusts and believe that the only way to kill the trusts is to pass q revenue tariff. Hayemeyer says that the tariff is the mother of trusts, and he ought to be good authority"
