DEATH OF EH-PRESIDENT HAR.
BISON.


IN the death OF ex-president Har
rison the United States loses one o.
the greatest men OF the age While
not popular man as President Mr..
Harrison was generally recognized.
even by his opponents. as one OF the
ablest men who cve- occupied the
Presidential chair. In the early days
OF his administration he was cftines
spoken of as mediocre but as the
people learned to know him he was
given the full need of credit that his
wonderful ability justly emitted him
TO. When Blaine was sick 'csident
Harrison took direct charge of tile
affairs OF the State Department AMI
this too at a critical time in the rela.
tons of the United States with Chile
his management being conceded to be
most mastery. His knowledge of in
ternational law and world politics
was second only TO that of th. great
Blaine. while in the eyes of many he
was ahead of Blaine because of being
less ephemeral.
Mr.. Harrison's series of short, ex
temporaneous addresses TO the visit.
ing delegations at his home in the
campaign Of 1898, have never been
equalled by any other man in public
life. They touched upon every SUD
ject of our national life, discussing
all questions openly and candidly,
and not one error or mistake. They
showed a wonderful knowledge and
demonstrated that Mr.. Harrison was
not only a marvelously well informed
man. but a many part man. one quail
fed in every way to fill the important
position OF President His conduct
since retiring from the Presidency
has been most evempiery He sels
that the dignity of the position he hal
held imposed upon him certain re
straints in regard 10 the discussion
OF international questions which he
studiously regarded. AT the same
time he refused TO stifle his honest
opinions on questions affecting only
the American people. This wa' shown
by his lecture at Ann Arbcf on the
status of the newly acquired Terri.
tory in which he maintalne I'd that the
Constitution and the flag must neces-
sarily go hand in hand over all Ter,
ritory over which the United States
assumed sovereignty.
Mr.. Harrison was a typical American
citizen winning his way step by step
from the humber walks of life TO the
highest position within the gift of the
people. AS soldier he made a rec
ord for himself that of itself would
have stamped him great man. In
that calling as in every other
throughout his life. he did well what
he had to do. In his death all the
nation mourns over the loss of most
honored and distinguished son.

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-02-12

While Mondays business is usually
the heaviest of the week, it is predict
ed that the showing made daily will
be very gratifying to Wheeling people
in comparison with the clearing house
figures of other cities.
The start was very, propitious The
representatives Of the several banks
were promptly on hand at eleven
o'clock at the Mutual Savings Bank
There were present, in addition to the
clerks and messengers from the sew
eral banks, Secretary S. A. Thompson,
of the Board of Trade; D. c. List Jr.,
of the City Bank; Frank B. Kleves. of
the Dollar Savings Bank, and others
Promptly at eleven o'clock, Manager
Alex. Mitchell called the gentlemen to
order, and seated the messengers in
the order in which the banks they rep
resented appeared upon the clearing
sheet. Mr.. Mitchell then called upon
the mess enger from the Bank of Wheel
ing to go to the other messengers and
get their exchanges. Each messenger
III turn was called upon in like man
ner and then dismissed to his own
bank. The clock indicated that exact
ly five minutes was consumed in max
ing the exchanges.
The balances were paid promptly by
1890 o'clock, and the credit banks re-
ceived their money at 100 o'clock.
Everything moved off as smoothly as
if the clearing house had been in OPP
Grafton for years.
Contrasted with the old method of
exchanges, the clearing house is an
admirable institution, and a departure
which will be especially pleasing to
bank officials. Under the old system,
the bank messenger was required to
pay visit each morning to each bank
in the city, and the bank clerks were
required to keep an account of ex-
changes with each bank. This consum-
ed considerable time and labor which
is obviated by the clearing house. One
trip is made by the messenger instead Of
ten or twelve, and the task OF the ac
countant is greatly simplified.
A report of the exchanges and bal
ances at the Wheeling clearing house
will be published each day in the Reg
lister.

lily, is related to many of the promf-
nent people of Washington county, and
his death was quite shock.

a very important arrest yesterday.
which showed that he had used good
judgement 10y which he was enabled
TO capture the party. Prior to the ar
rest he gave out no intimatlon of the
party being wanted at this place. The
woman arrested was Nellie Campbell,
who is wanted for shooting George Pat
rick, near Connellsville, Pa. Both are
eolored. The tragedy occurred on Feb
ruary list, and after the shooting the
woman escaped. and has been looked
after by the authorities for some Tune.
A letter from her lover to this city
gave the clue, and she was loon local
ca and arrested. Her lover, William
Iinkle. was with her when she was
arrested. After the marshal had placed
her in jail she quietly asked if Patrick
was dead, expressing the hope that he
was. She was not excited and seemed
perfectly composed.
The fight must have been a severe
one. as the woman still has the cuts
on her hand from the knife used by
the man, and from her story the en-
counter must have been a terrific one.
but her shot was fatal and ended the
struggle. The authorities from Union
town, Pa, will arrive to-day and take
the prisoner bacs with their.
