Personal ModeSty or Official Vanity?

Editor Leader
There appears to be some funny feat
ures incidental to the matter of the
court house corner stone.
The Board of Commissioners have
taken great pains to notify the public
through yesterdays issues of the city
papers of their meeting to be held az
certain hours on Tuesday and Friday
next and have extended a kind invita-
tion to "any and all citizens" to appear
before them at such times and make
known their desires and wishes in re-
gard to the deposits to be placed in the
corner stone" 1t has occurred to d
goodly number of citizens Of the county
that it would have been, to say the
least quite as timely and appropriate
had the Commissioners seen fit to eX-
tend such an invitation and invite such
expression with regard to the inscrip-
tion to be made upon the outside of the
stone, before they decided upon such
inscriptions. 1t will be remembered
that the Board of Trade, composed of IA
large and representative number of cit
liens, appointed a committee to confer
with the Commissioners with respect
to this matter; but notwithstanding
the fact that this committee has made
diligent effort to secure such hearing,
none has been granted them, although
two members of the Board did con-
descend to talk the matter over with
the committee in an informal way 1t is
evident to everyone that the Commis-
sioners are very willing that those
whom they delight to honor may en-
tombs in the corner stone such articles,
papers and manuscripts as they may
desire, provided only that the names of
the honorable members of the Board of
Commissioners and those of other Of
flcers selected by them, as well as the
names of the architects and builders
are inscribed in bold letters upon the
outside, where they may be seen and
read by all men; conspicuous and
lasting advertisement upon plll poaiu
furnished and paid for by the taxpay'
ers of the county.
There is another amusing feature in
the fact that each and all of the Com
missioners have expressed that their
names shall not appear upon the stone,
while at the same time. in, their cor
porate capacity they passed unani-
mously resolution ordering such in
scriptions and directing the contractor
to make them. 1t has been suggested
by some that if the gentlemen are sim
cere in their expressions of their per-
sonal desires in this matter it would
be we'll for them to prosecute legal
proceedings against the. official Board
to prevent the inscription of their in
dividual names from being made,

J. NJ. McCloy.

The remains of j. M. McCloy passed
through the city Saturday from Nc
Connelsville to Newcomerstown. Mr. :.
McCloy had occasion to go to McCon-
nelsville and while there was seized
with acute inflammation of the stom-
ach, which eventually put a period to
his life on Friday, March 20, at Sis
p. m.
j. NJ. McCloy was As years old, was
married and leaves two children, name
ly, Jose and Lizzie. The deceased was
well known in this city, as he occupied
the position of local agent of the old
c. & M. R. R. a number of years ago.
Removing from Marietta he took up his
residence at Newcomerstown, where he
has since resided. The only surviving
brother is John McCloy, who accomp-
anied the remains to Newcomerstown,
where interment will take place at ?
o'clock Monday afternoon. Mrs. John
McCloy will go to Newcomerstown

SEWING SCHOOLS
Finish Their Terms Saturday and Celebrate
Their Respective Anniversary.

The free sewing schools of the Uni
tartan and Episcopal churches closed
Saturday after having been in session,
for period of time extending owe
four months. These schools. while
they have existed for a quarter of 8
century, are comparatively speaking.
unknown to a considerable portion of
the Marietta public. The motive which
inspired their founders. was to estab-
lish school where the useful arts of
sewing and cutting garments might be
taught to the children of poor parents.
Meeting every Saturday during the
winter months of the year and guided
by patient and noble teachers, the chill
dren are brought to realize the virtue
of cleanliness, neatness and industry.
The little seamstresses are not hamp-
muncation, but are allowed all liber-
ties consistent with the performance of
Their" work. Each child is furnished
with all her material and is taught to
fashion it into garments which when
finished are presented to her. This
method incites each girl to perform
her work to the best of her ability and
so inculcates habits of thrift and care.
The sewing school of the Unitarian
church was orCariEcd jurt thirty years
ago Saturday. Its sessions have
extended fTCm NCy. 2, 1900, to March
80, 1901. The organization this year
was as follows: Mrs. G.. p. Regnier.
President and Treasurer; Mrs. Helen
Morgan. Vice President; Mrs H. e.
Holden, Secretary. The average at
tendance during the period has been 2S,
and these have assembled on % after
moons. The material used represents
So yards of cloth, which has been
made into 1877 garments.
Rev. e. A. Coil gave an interesting
address to the children and the pro-
monies.
The duplicate school of the Episco-
pal church celebrated its twenty-sev-
enth anniversary Saturday afternoon.
Its meetings have been contemporary
eous with the Unitarian school and the
promoters of both have been identical.
The average eattendancea at the Unitarian
school has been 35, Two hundred yards
of material have been used up and 12l
pieces have been completed. The ages
of the girls attending range from s tc
IS ve2rs.
The results achieved have bee;
most gratifying and it is therefore witt
a sense of encouragement and con-
graduation that the teachers bado
their little charges good bye. Before
closing however, the ladies OF
the Unitarian church treated the
children to ice cream and cake, which
proved most acceptable to the juvenile
needlewomen.

OIL NEWS.
DOWN IN TEXAS.

No new developments were reported
from Texas yesterday. The new gush-
er owned by the Southwestern Oil COM
pany and located half mile northeast
of Guffey Cos gusher is shut in and
will not be opened for some time.
With the pipe line uncompleted and on
ly as yet limited amount of tankagc
up, the problem of taking care of the
oil is unsolved. A half dozen wells will
be ready to drill in within the next ten
days, and if they are as large as the
first two the production will be enor-
nous. j M. Guffey and Co have COM
pleted $4,000 Dbl tank at their gushe
and have the grade made for another of
the same capacity, The pumping sta
tion has nearly reached completion and
is composed of battery of eight boil
ers and pumping capacity of $4,000
barrels day. The company is build
ing two tanks each of 1000 bbls, capa
city at the station and is putting up six
miles southeast of the station, to be
used for storage purposes and from
which they will load vessels at Port
Arthur. The Port Arthur end of the
line from Ewesta has not been com
pleted. The oil has been found very
satisfactory for fuel under the boiler
for running the pipe cutting machines
and for filling the tank cars at the
loading rack. Work has been very
much delayed on account of inability OF
the railroads to deliver material and
supplies promptly. The work of sink
ing the wells has been done by the Ro-
tary process. Several contractors are
rigging up and will drill with the reg
ulation tools and cable and claim that
they will have no trouble and will
make much better rogress.-Derrick,
