4 Hint TO the Ladies.

Powers & Myers, celebrated diamond
dealers, have given out the following
bit of interesting news concerning the
revival of earrings in this country:
Since Cleopatra's time and her mag
niicent pearl earring, which played
such a prominent part in her life, or,
rather, DEATH this particular piece OF
feminine jewelry has come in and
gone out regularly with the tide OF
popularity. Just now erTaings are con-
sidered quite the correct thing, though
for ten or fifteen years they have
scarcely been worn at all.
The grown ups" of that period are
probably prepared to welcome them as
old friends. To the others it will be
a new experience, and means having
the ears pierced. jewelers. have been
predicting for the last two years the
revival of this fasion, and there has
been a marked tendency in its direc-
ton, and now it is generally admitted
that earrings are positively to be worn.
Be it understood, however, there are
conditions that must be rigidly observ-
ed Not any kind of earrings may be
worn; in fact, there is a limited num-
Der to choose from The principal
thing is that they must now swing.
Old earrings may be brought forth
from their velvet resting places of
many years and undergo inspection.
If they would he converted mo strict
" modern ones they must pay visit
to the jeweler and be reset.
Two setlngs are permisslble-the
screw and the French, this latter a
combination of the screw and the old
fashioned drop" but without the
swing. Another thing prohibited is the
single diamond, once elegantly styled
a solitaire" Pearls and turquoise,
alone or set round with diamonds, are
all you have to select from if you con-
fine yourself to the earrings of fash
ion. Of course pearls, lustrious and of
fairly good SIZE, are favorites. These
are rare and expensive enough to be
much desired by smart women.

To the Editor OF the Register
Sir:-I was pleased to note in the
Register, in complimentary refer
ence to the new Wheeling pastor
the statement that he was "oppos-
ed to sensationalism in the
pulpit" l trust the day will came.
and speedily too, when clergymen will
all take this stand and there will be
a broad minded union of Christian
forces against the common enemy, the
devil. If there were more gospel ser
mons there would be more church
going Christians. The crowds attract
ed by a sensational preacher do not
disprove this assertion. They go out
o. curiosity, desire to be entertained,
or to have a morsel of gossip to roll
under their tongues. 1t Is theatrical
Christianity, ana 1t accomplishes moth
ing in comparison with the good old
Gospel Christianity of our fathers.
In Wheeling there are too many en-
bryonic Parkhursts. They have not
succeeded in upsetting any established
vice, but they have succeeded in driv-
ing people out of their churches. They
have made it a subject of common

schemes by clergymen. What has be-

Clergymen who are sincere-most Of
them are-should study these problems.
II they are fair and broad-minded they
will come to the conclusion which has
been reached by your correspondent,
namely: that in order to strike at the
root of existing evils they must make
better men and women, and to do that
they must preach the gospel Of love.

New, EffectunI and Convenient
Cure fer Cntarrh.

New, EffectunI and Convenien
Cure fer Cntarrh.
OF catarrh remedies, there is no
end, hut OF catarrh cures, there
has always been a great scarcity.
There are many remedies to re-
lieve, but very few that really
cure.
The old practice of snufing salt
water through the nose would oft
en- relieve and the washes. DOUGH
es. powders and enhalers in COM
mon use are very little. if any.
better than the old fashioned salt
water duoche.
The use of inhalers and the APP
plication of salves, washes and
powders to the nose and throat to
cure catarrh is no more reasona-
bic than to rub the back 20 cure
kidney disease. Catarrh is Just
as much blood disease as kidney
trouble or rheumatism ard it can
not be cured by local treatment
any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the
head, throat or stomach. an inter-
nal antiseptic treatment is neces-
sary to drive the catarrhal pois-
on out of the blood and system,
and the new catarrh cure is de-
signed on this plan and the re-
markable success of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets is because being us
ed internally, it drives out ca
tarrhal infection through action
upon stomach, liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman OF st. Joseph,
relates an experience with catarrh
which is of value to millions of
catarrh sufferers everywhere. He
says, Il neglected slight nasal
catarrh until it gradually extended
to my throat and bronchial tubes
and finally even my stomach and
liver became effected, but as | was
able to keep up and do days
work | let it run along until my
hearing began to fail me and then
/ realized that | must get rid of
catarrh or lose my position as l
was clerk and my hearing was alb
solutely necessary.
Some of my friends recommend
ed an inhaler, another a catarrh
salve but they were no good in my
case, nor was anything else until
/ heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
and bought a package at my drug
store. They benefited me from
the start and in less than four
months l was completely cured of
catarrh although j had suffered
nearly all my life from it.
They are pleasant to take and so
much more convenient to use than
other catarrh remedies that l feel
l can not say enough in favor OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
A little book on cause and cure
of catarrh will be mailed free by
addressing f. A. Stuart Co., Mar
shall, Mich, and the tablets are
sold by all druggists in the Unit
ed States and Canada.

A Warm Criticism.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-In recent issue of your paper
ind the following, credited to the
Secretary of the Board of Trade, Mr..
1hompson:
There is another thing, too" said
Mr. s. A. Thompson, Secretary of the
Board OF Trade, land that is that the
Board of Trade was organized to get
as much outside capital as possible to
come into the State. Now, If we
should go in and by the assistance of
the Legislature, coniscate the proper
ty Of corporation that had made
investments in the city in good faith,
we would not get outside men to put
money into Wheeling enterprises at
all. We would have a hard time sell
ing municipal bonds, which now COM
mand a premium
/ have all along been Of the opinion
that Mr. Thompson was sent to
Charleston, not to utter such senti-
ments as the foregoing, but to obey the
commands of the Board of Trade, and
aid energetically in getting back for
the good of our city stolen franchise.
The Board of Trade Committee left
Wheeling with correct ideas of what
was to be done but the atmosphere
and general surroundings of Charles
ton appear to play smash with such
parties, and often bring about change
in the spirit of their dreams
Fut the information of Messrs Buck
man, Thompson, Hook e Co., l wish
to say that just what they claim TO
have accomplished by their visit to the
State capital is just exactly what the
city has possessed ever since the fight
before the Legislature seven Or eight
years ago, viz: tho right to acquire by
arbitration the property of the local
electrical company.
In view of this faux pas Mr.. Thomp-
son and the Board of Trade gentle
men would do much better by confin-
ing themselves to legitimate and earn
est efforts to obtain new enterprises
for WIheeling-not for towns on the
Ohio side, but for this side.

given TO Jake Snyder. His grand edict
published previous to the election,
wherein the Republicans were to elect
their candidates for mayor, city SER

eligible for the same. His council

The apparently interminable strug-
gle between the regular and insurgent
Republican Councilmen does not ex-
cite the degree of interest which it
did week ago. The belief that the
insurgents are determined not to be
moved from their platform, has been
strengthened by their refusal to yield
an inch and the public is gradually be-
coming convinced that unless liberal
concessions are made by the regulars,
the insurgents will not vote with
i them.
!, The Republican programme, which
! contemplates a refusal of the First
Branch to go into joint session, is all
very pretty in theory, and while this
+ will probably be adhered to at Tues
day nights meeting, it is a conserva-
tive guess that all the offices will be
! filled by the next regular meeting Of
Council. There are many things
which enter into the situation with
reference to the programme referred
to. In the first place, there are de-
cent Republican members who feel
that they owe duty to the public that
has paramount claim to party upon
them. Then there are Republican
members who will go down into de-
feat before accepting the conditions
imposed 10y the insurgents. Another
factor is the horde of hungry Office
nj wiz fa-. ~
sort of a compromise which will end
their anxiety.
1t is said that one or two prominent
candidates have agreed to withdraw in
the interest of party harmony if the
exigencies Of the situation demand it.
No such offer, SO far as can be learned,
has been made 10y any candidate who
is now holding public Office to which
he desires to be reelected, however.
1t is given out semi-officially that the
regular Republicans will hold a meet
ing Tuesday night. If Council is in
session late, the meeting will be held
On Wednesday. The question under
consideration will be terms of compro-
mise with the insurgents and it is
freely predicted that no amica'ble
agreement will be reached, as the two
factions are too widely separated.
Nothing was done yesterday. There
were no meetings, but Republican
Councilmen met informally and talked
over the situation in a general way.
Last night the Democratic members
held an informal meeting, at which the
situation was discussed, but no action
was taken.
Mr.. Muegge, of the First ward, pres
ident of the Ohio County Republican
Club, is the latest suggestion as a mem
Der of the Water Board. Mr.. Muegge
! is said to be a well qualified and ac-
ceptable man for the position, and it
| Is understood would be acceptable to
both the regular Republican members
| of Council and also the insurgents.
