The u. y. w. and the streets.

To the Editor of the Register.
SIR:-While those heavenly twins,
our two Boards of Public Works, dooc-
cesionally manage to clean the streets
some of the streets and once in
long while-there is yet no sign of any
attempt by either of them to repair the
streets, to say nothing of paving them,
and the 1926 900 fund for this purpose
lies idle and useless while winter rap
idly approaches, when it will be impos-
sible to do any such work at all.
| submit to every candid citizen II
this is not a most wretched state of af
fairs. and ask if ere is no remedy for
it. While we are loudly Boosting in
the press and through the Board of
Trade of the many advantages and
progressiveness of Wheeling. what
have we shown the tens of thousands
of visitors who have thronged the
city during the past summer? Where
out streets are paved they are as full
of holes and ruts as a bad country
road. and during a rain these pave
ments are polka-dotted with puddles,
some of them ankle deep. Where our
streets are not paved as on some of the
most prominent thoroughfares-nota
bly, on the Island and in the Eighth
Ward-they would disgrace any cross
roads village in the State.
And much of this simply because Of
the refusal of a few politicians to get
out of Office after they have been voted
out, which has tied up the fund for
street improvement, when such i'm
proyement is most imperatiyely
needed.
How long, o Lord, how long are we
to be ridden and the best interests Of
the city retarded by such disgraceful
and chi.-ish politics?

SIR:-Why cannot one of the Boards
of Public Works fix the brick pave
ment on the west side of Market street.
at the intersection of alley nine? Not
a day passes but dozens of people slip
and fall there. and 1t is but a question
of a short time until there is a frac-
tured limb and a suit against the city.
This little matter should be attended
to at once. SAFETY.

owner Of the Naille, fashionable

fired two shots Mt him and was disarm-
ed only after q fierce struggle.
Mr.. ]. +. Vaile made the following
statement yesterday:
my employment by Mr.. Choate
arose out Of the action brought by Mrs.
Ewart in June, 1900. The action was
for breach of promise OF marriage.
Mr.. Choate denied any engagement
and has never admitted any liability
to Mrs. Ewart. He was greatly annoy
ed by the charges and was greatly
averse TO any notoriety and wished me
to make n settlement OF the case. This
was done and Mrs. Ewart's attorneys
were paid in cash the amount which
was accepted rs full settlement for all
claims of every sort by Mrs. Ewart.

The CuD Race.

The Boston Herald. published In
that section of New England where
the yachting spirit is always at tho
highest pitch. says there Is less in
terest shown this year in the coming
conflict for the America cup than ever
before. and that the same is true OF
the feeling abroad. This Is not be-
cause Of any doubt as to the sailing
abilities Of the contestants or because
of any certainty that one or the other
will win. Shamrock II. is in every
way as good as Shamrock I. and prob
ably the faster of the two. OF Herre-
shoff's Constitution little is known.
but 1t is believed 1t will be faster than
Columbia. OF Crowninshield's Inde-
pendent also little is known, but
enough to indicate that the prelimi-
nary trials will be quite as interest
ing as the final races. That these will
be close there can be little doubt. and
yet the interest in yachting circles is
not SO great as it used to be.

disorders. 1t was the Presidents own
wish that another physician be called
in consultation. not because he did not
have perfect confidence in Doctors
Hirschfieid and Rixey, but because he
desired that nothing that science could
do should be left undone. He was g.
pecially anxious that the diagnosis OF
the attending physicians should agree.
Just how soon Mrs Mckinley will
be able to travel is a question which
no one can answer now. 1t may be
necessary for her to remain here longer
than next Monday. when the party was
originally scheduled to leave. Indeed.
1t Is likely that it will be later before
she Ia able to endure the long trip
across the continent. But as soon as
she is sufficiently strong the trip will
be mdde by the most direct route, prob
ably the Union Pacific. No stops will
be made and 1t is believed the trip can
be made In five days.
This morning the President thought
he would be able to be present at the
unveiling Of the Donahue statue and so
informed the committee. But at the
last moment when his escort had al
ready drawn up before the Scott resi-
dence Mrs. McKinley's condition was
such that ne decided not to leave. And
all day, except for a brief half-hour
this afternoon. when he yielded to the
entreaties Of those about him and went
out for n drive, he has remained stead
fastly at her side. The members OF the
Cabinet reluctantly consented to carry
out to-day's program at the University
OF California, and at Oakland, but they
had no heart to put into the festivities
while their chief was grieving at his
wifes bedside.

w. L. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity of his factory to 5000
pairs of shoes per day. The addition
will add $1,000 square feet of space for
manufacturing purposes. At the same
time new 400 horsepower engine and
an additional $50 horsepower boiler
will be Installed. which will afford ade-
quate power for the present and an
other addition to the factory. which
will no doubt be necessary later on.
When the factory starts up the FIRST

and the weekly pay roll. exclusive Of
ONCE help, superintendent, foremen,
etc, will be $4,000 per week. The

tensive advertising. The advertising
expenditure Of Mr.. Douglas is now

Portland Miners May strike.

Cripple Creek, Colo, May 10.-A
strike at the Portland mine appears
imminent at this time, but the decis-
ION rests largely upon Il conference be-
tween the miners and the officers Of
the company, to be held at Colorado
Springs to-day.
President Burns Of the Portland COM
pany remains firm in his decision to
yield no more.
1t is stated that recently the leaders
Of the union have posted conspicuous.
ly In the Portland shaft house notices
which were equivalent to declaration
by. the Portland company that unless
the men Joined the union they would
be discharged from the mines employ.
One Of these notices reads MS follows:
miners on this property are reQuisA
ed to join the union"
Another notice stated that men who
failed to pay their union dues would
be dropped. the Inference being that
the notices We're posted by the author
ity Of the mine manager. These no
tices were torn down by the manage
ment of the mine and form a large
part of the complaint of the miners.

the men who framed the constitution
and to their immediate successors It
conveyed an idea not of unity but Of
plurality. The conception Of states
in union Is distinguished from that of
states blended to form single nation
was at first generally entertained. 1t
grew weaker az men became gradually
familiar with the idea OF national
government with far greater powers
than were possessed by the congress
Of the confederation. Finally. In the
popular acceptation the phrase Unit

OF states federated for certain common
purposes and came to signify one
