81 The THOUSANDS
Crowds Flocked to Wheeling
on Sunday.

Railroads Taxed to their Capacities TO
Handle Traffic Visited Soldiers In
Encampment.
WHEELING, w. Va, Sept 23.-It
was a great day--a day that taxed the
transportation facilities of the West
Virginia railways to very near the
limit, and the Wheeling and Elm
Grove Traction line beyond limit, and
it has no small capacity.
From far away Martinsburg, from
Fairmont, Grafton, Morgantown,
Warrington and Clarksburg came
train after train. each containing as
many passenger coaches as the big en-
CINE could haul, every car crowded to
the doors.
Ten trains came in over the B. &
@. alone, one train, No. 55, being in
five sections, and theaverage was nine
cars TO train or section.
But this was not all. The Ohio
River railway brought its quotas too.
From Huntington, Parkersbnrg, Sis
tersyille and all the towns along the
line the people came in long trains,
crowding the cars TO the door.
Nor was this all. There were the
usual Sunday excursions. The Wheel
ing and Lake Erie brought 200 pleas
ure seekers to town and the other
lines outside of the B. Sc O. and O. r.
each brought numbers of people TO
see the soldiers. Many came to hear
Soasa's band, having understood that
it would play here to-day, as well as
yesterday. These were disappointed
for moment, but soon said it was all
right anyway; they would take in the
parks and the soldiers encampment.
Grafton's contingent had the honor
OF being the first TO reach the city,
arriving with nine-car-train at 11.2o
but they had been compelled to cut
off five coaches crowded to the doors
and leave them 20 be picked up by a
following train. Nearly 900 came on
the first train.
The Fairmont section brought ia
over 600. Morgantown must have
had quiet Sunday yesterday, for 500
came down from there TO take in the
eneampment, and the town. Man
nington filled as many cars as an en-
CINE could pull. Must have been 700
OF them, at low estimate Martins
burg brought delegation of not less
than 500. Huntington was here with
almost as many.
Parkersburg must have had 400 at
a low estimate. Sistersville, New
Martinsville and other cities along
the Ohio river in West Virginia were
represented by numbers running into
the hundreds from each place.

PRESIDENT SPOKE
To Meeting of Students in
Chapel Yesterday.
Urged Cultivation Of Religious Phase
In Life of Student and Aiiiiation
with Local Churches Reception to
Students Saturday Night.


President Purinton yesterday after
noon addressed a meeting of students
in the chapel Of the University held
under the auspices Of the Y NJ. 9. A.
and Y w. G. A. He spoke Of the
need of a religious phase in the life Of
the student and pointed out the ele-
ments necessary TO contribute relig-
ious spirit.
The meeting was not as largely at
but what it lacked in numbers was
present in earnestness. 1t was presided
over by w. w. Smith, president Of
the Y. M. @. A. Several hymns and
vocal solo by Miss Julia Clark with
piano accompaniment by Mrs. Snee
were interspersed. The opening
prayer was delivered by Mr.. e. S.
Boyd and the benediction by Presi-
dent Purinton.
In his address, which be directed
particularly to the young men present,
President Purinton commented on the
fact that such a large proportion of
Christian workers are women, and as
cribed the comparative scarcity of
young men in those fields to false
idea on the part of the latter that
Christianity is not manly. He point
ed outin contradiction to this idea,
wherein the life and teachings of
Christ contained the very essence of
manliness and exhorted the young
men to abide by these lessons. He
admonished the young men OF the
university to affiliate with some local
church and attend services regularly,
and TO lead a Christian life.
Several members of the Faculty were
to have been present and delivered
addresses, but, probably owing to a
misunderstanding, were absent.
Next Sunday afternoon the associa-
tion will meet in the chapel to organ n
ize Bible study class. Addresses
will be made by DR.. Purinton and
Prof. Hodges.
During the meeting yesterday a
number of men members were enroll
ed by each association.
STUDENTS RECEPTION.
The reception rendered Saturday
night by the Y. NJ. G. A. to the STU
dents was most enjoyable affair.
The gymnasium, in which it was held
was well filled. In the throng were
MANY new faces. The stiffness which
usually attaches TO sucn receptions
was largely and very uniquely obvi-
ated. Slips Of paper containing por-
tion of the name of some book were
distributed among the young ladies
while similar slips containing the
rest of the title were distributed
among the young men. To match
these slips was the object and this
occasioned a general informal CONVEX
sation.
