PROF. WILLEY's NEW BOOK.
II Supplies the Missing Link Between
the Secession OF Virginia and the
Formation of onr own State.

We take pleasure in calling the at
tention of our readers TO a most excel
lent publication. 1t supplies the
missing link between the secession Of
Virginia and the formation Of our
own grand little mountain state West
Virginia; West Virginia conceived 10
the hearts of intense national patriots
born midst the throes OF the awful
rebellion, baptized by the hest blood
OF our fathers and standing to-day
peerless among her sister states.
All that thrilling period of history
making, during which strong hearted
patriots laid the foundation for our
glorious state, has been sealed book,
as no official records were kept of
those early secret meetings. and it is
only by cleaning from the private pa
pers OF the active participants in that
momentous movement that the world
at large is now able TO learn the cir
cumstances and appreciate the eondi-
tions under which West Virginia was
born.
The name of the author Prof W
2. Wiley, is sufficient guarantee as To
the authenticity Of all facts stated,
and his finished style holds the read
ers interest from first TO last.
1t Is neatly printed, artistically
bound and should be in every home.

INTERVENING TALK.
Professor Douthat addresses the 7. n.
G. A. On "ihe Young Man as Mis-
sleaary.' y


ID Professor Douthats address to the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Friday evening, was heart TO heart
talk, replete with matter for thought.
/. The Professor illustrated the fact that
all young persons meet with more or
less difficulty in choosing life's work.
The different occupations of life such
as those of sculptor, farmer, and
teacher, do not appear in the same
light te the young as TO those of ma
ture years.
The one purpose OF life, should be
to glorify God. and In doing this, one
will reach the highest and best deyel-
opment and do the most good for
mankind. Mere pleasure is not life's
highest aim. No man who adopted
Epicurean philosophy ever became
great, members of men who followed
the teachings Of the Stoics, made
great success of life.
We have, in all the churches, do
nestle missions; but the real mission
airy is the one who devotes his whole
life to foreign missions, Building, :"
as Paul says, "on foundation that
no man has laid"
Duty is the sublimest watchword
in the human heart. II duty is deep
ly impressed upon one, wherever God
may call him, there he will go. Duty,
effort, serious life, not only make the
man physically strong, but mentally
and spiritually strong. No man can
be great, who refuses TO follow the
guidance Of the spirit. When God
lays his hand on man and says, II
want you TO be missionary" that
man will not make success in doing
any thing else.
There is great glory il being a mis-
sionafy The name of no man stands
higher on the roll of fame than does
that of St Paul. Any young man
who will turn his life over to God, as
did Paul, will get far greater enjoy
ment, SO far as this life is concerned,
than by giving it up 60 sensual pleas
ures. A comparison Of the lives of
Henry Martin and Byron, both brill
liant and highly educated men, forei-
bly, illustrates this fact.
The missionary should not only be
preacher and teacher. but physi-
clan. The medical missionary is do
ing work that cannot be done by
the one who is only preacher or a
teacher.
One can get more honor, more glory,
aud more enjoyment in this life by
being missionary for those who sit
in darkness and death, than by living
in land Of culture and enlightenment.
Finally, the only proper object any
one can have in life is, TO honor God,
reach the highest development of self,
and do the most good for mankind.

NO INCREASE.
MorgantOwa Postmaster will Serve
During this Year at the Same Price
as Last.

While many of the towns of the
state are rejoicing over the fact that
the salarses Of their postmasters have
been increased Morgantown is not
saying anything. We don't get any
increase this year. However it is not
on account of the lack of business
that the increase don't come but from
other reasons.
The receipts are six hundred dollars
more during the past year than they
were for the year before. But there
are several sources from which money
used to come that yield nothing now.
There is the box rent which
amounted to seven hundred and fifty
dollars before free delivery was estab-
lished 1t amounts to almost moth
ing now.
The University formerly did a ire
mendous business with the postoffice.
1t amounted to couple of thousand
a year. Then ruling was made by
which the catalogues of state insti-
tuition could be sent through the
mails at newspaper and magazine
rates and the revenue from this direc-
tion was cut TO nothing almost.
In spite of all this the Office has
held its own, made up the losses and
gone six hundred dollars head of the
year before. The showing IN the new
year is very good aud indicates that
there will be a very large increase over
last year.

AN ENGLISH VIEW
OF West Virginia as a Coal Producer
Coal Lands In Demand.

That West Virginia, as we'll as
other southern coal producing States,
is attracting attention abroad is evil
denced by the London Colliery Guar
dams views on the coal trade of Bal
timore and the neighboring ports Of
Norfolk and Newport News, which
serve as outlets for the production of
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia
and Kentucky. 1t quotes from the
report OF the British consul at Balti-
more, who states that the increase in
exports of coal from Baltimore was
10000 tons for 1900 over 1899 I'm
porta ant as the coal trade OF West Vr
ginia is, it is destined to assume an
immense volume in the very near fu-
ture.
The Guardian also refers to the tale
of progress told by the British vice
consul at Norfolk. He says that the
demand for Virginia coal has caused
the railways there TO increase their
facilities for its rapid handling near
ly doubling their capacity Another
result has neen a lively demand for
coal lands in Virginia anG West Vir-
GINA. There are in these States prac-
tically inexhaustible fields Of the I'm
est steam and cokeing Goals which are
as yet hardly touched and in many
cases have not yet been even pene-
trated by the railroads. These lands,
in many cases, carry from three to
seven seams OF coal, each ranging
from three TO eight feet. The best
seams of this coal can be mined above
water are self-draining, and have good
slate covering, all tending to make
very cheap mining. This coupled
with the constantly cheapening of
railway transportation through the
increased size Of cars and other agen-
cies, seems to indicate, he says, that
the EXPORT OF coal from the Virginian
ports is but in Its infancy.

ABOUT THAT FRANCHISE.
A Prominent Man of Town Talks
for Publication.

He Thinks that there is Nothing to he
Scared about and That 1t VIII be for
the Benefit of the Town to'GiYe the
Franchise G0od Electric Lights and
Perhaps street Cars.
This morning prominent bust
ness man of town talked with a rep
resentative of this paper about the
franchise which has been asked by
the Morgantown Electric Light and
Power Company He revealed some
secrets which have been guarded for
sometime. The news that he gives
is welcome to the people of town.
In the first place he stated that
the Electric Light company owned
and controlled by Mr.. Sturgiss had
been bought out by local and foreign
capital. They have paid $4,000.
The transaction has not been made
public at the request of Mr.. Sturgiss
but there is no reason to conceal it
any longer.
'rhe new owners propose to put in
the best electric light plant that
money will buy They intend to
have lights that will be on par
with the rest Of the improvements
of town. Up to now they have not
been what they should be.
In order to put in the kind of
plant that is desirable it is necessa-
nv to get outside money. In order
to get outside money it is necessary
to have something to show the in
yestors that they will get their mon
ey back and get interest while it is
in the company. To do this one
must have a franchise.
An exclusive franchise does not
amount to anything. The courts
have decided that as many franchises
as may be desired can be granted
by councils. The investor will want
long time franchise before he will
put his money into the plan.
The plans that are on foot include
not only fine electric lights for the
town but street car line. The Gen
eral Electrical company is interest
ed and eventually it is hoped that a
street car line will be built here and
that it will be extended oyer Cheat
+ and then to a junction with the troll
ley systems of Fayette and other
nearby counties. A very large pleas
ure resort trade will be built up
from Morgantown if this is done.
Taking it all in all the gentleman
referred to SAID that people should
think about the matter and they
will find that the people with whom
they are dealing will do the square
thing every time and that no advan-
tage is wanted to be taken of the
town.

B. & o. MAY BURN THEIR BUILD.
INGS.
Fire Companies may be Called upon to
Protect Adjoining Property.

The BIZ O. Company is having
trouble to even give away houses that
cost FROM 81, 900 to $2500 each. They
have offered them to anyone who will
move them off the site for the new pas
senger depot. There are six of them
but no one has offered TO take them as
gift. 1t is suggested that they get
a special permit from our city council
and burn them to the ground, having
the full city fire department out TO
protect adjacent property. This
would be the quickest way the company
could dispose of the property, but il
does look like extravaganza wasteful-
ness to burn such valuable houses. -

COUNCILMAN PAID POLICE.
Otherwise Wheeling officers Threat
ened to Strike.


Wheeling, June Through the
failure of council to pass an emer-
gency appropriation. ordinance last
Tuesday City Clerk O'Brien was I'M
eble to pay off the SO Wheeling police
officers. Thereupon they announced
their intention to go on strike Satur-
day night. Chief Ritz backed them
up, and said he would not appoint
new officers. This meant an indefinite
period of absence OF police protec-
tion, and general alarm was felt
Last night, however, one of the
councilmen, DR.. Haskins, agreed to
pay the police officers their salaries,
and the crisis is passed. The city
clerk was ready to borrow the money
and pay salaries, but Mayor Sweeney
advised the clerk to do nothing, else
he would be compelled to have him
arrested for violation OF the restrain
ing ordinance. This complication is
an aftermath of the late municipal
Inuddle.
