Of Local

The following extract from the Off
cial report of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company is of interest to local
readers:
with the view of securing addi-
tional terminal facilities for your lines
reaching Wheeling, it was deemed adj
visable for your Western System to be-
come the owner of the Wheeling Bridge
& Terminal Railway, which was sold
under foreclosure on the ftwenty-sev-
enth day of May last, an opportunity
having then offered to acquire the same
at a price commensurate with its real
value, and under a reorganization of
this property, provision has been made
for an issue of 81, 500, 600 of 4 per cent
bonds, running for forty years from
August 1, 1900, the proceeds of which
are applicable to- betterment and i'm
provement expenditures"

tEureIing thoafx1caE manegefR The
Chaphne street entrance 10 the thea-
tre viii be- separate and distinct from
the entrance to the ONCE portion Of
the building, which will be located on
Twelfth street.
The theatre, it is understood, is to
have a seating capacity Of about 1880,
divided approximately as follows:
Lower floor, $50; balcony, 800; gallery,
400. This is the actual seating capac-
ity. The theatre will accommodate a
great many more. It's standing room
capacity will add between 500 and 600
more to the total capacity of the thea
tire. The balcony will have a mezza-
nine floor. The chairs have not yet
been selected, but it is understood that
manufacturers will be asked to send
samples, and that they will be in keep
ing with the other appointments OF
the theatre, both as to comfort and
elegance. There will be a space of
"a inches from back to back of chairs,
which is four inches more than the
space in the Opera House, and will
afford ample o. for seating patrons
without disturbing Others who are
already seated.
There will be two private boxes and
a loggia on each side OF the stage on
the lower floor, and they will he very
ornamental in design. The stage open
ing will form a perfect arch, and will
not be square, as in the two local
opera houses. There will be 10 boxes
on the balcony or gallery floors.
The back of the house which is
the term used by the profession as ap-
plying to the stage and dressing rooms
as distinguished from the front OF
the house" for the use of patrons, will
be constructed with a view to afford
ing every comfort and convenience to
the performers, and every facility for
the proper staging of theatrical pro-
auctions. The stage will be 40 feet
deep. and the curtain opening will be
So feet in width.
The dressing room will be entirely
apart from the stage and will be prop
erly equipped. A special feature found
in very few theatres will be large
dressing rooms for chorus girls and
chorus men respectively.
The Board of Trade rooms will be
located upon the second floor of the
new building, and the remainder of
the floor space will be used for Office
purposes.

The Board Of Directors of the Board
Of Trade building company will meet
this evening and will probably adopt
plans for the new building which is
to be erected upon the old court house
site, corner Chapline and Twelfth
streets. The work of razing the court
house is progressing satisfactorily, and
it is thought that everything will be in
shape to commence operations as soon
as the weather opens in the spring.
The plans for the structure were
prepared by Architect e. B. Franzheim
and Fred F. Faris. The theatre plans
ernbody the best features developed in
the construction Gr the Valentine thea
tire in Toledo; the Great Southern in
Columbus; and the Alvin in Pittsburg.
The local theatre will not be modelled
after any n of these houses, but will
embrace such features as the building
committee deem advisable, together
with individual ideas of members of
the committee.
The theatre is to be located in the
southeast section of the proposed new
building. 1t Will have a ground floor
entrance from Chapline street, and a
stage entrance from Twelfth street.
There will be a pa5sageway, twelve
feet wide, from Twelfth street, which
will permit large scenic trucks or fire
engines to drive right in upon the
stage. The advantages of this ar
rangement in the presentation of dra-
matte productions will be understood
and appreciated most by house and

PIONEER CITIZEN DEAD.
ONE OF CITY's FIRST REwER
Was Associated With Nearly all the
Local German Societies asid Took
an Active Part In Their Business
and Social Adafrs-A Founder of
the beethoven.

The death of julius Lohse occurred
yesterday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock at
his residence on South Chapline street,
and remove one of the Oldest and most
highly esteemed German pioneer citi-
ZEN of Wheeling. He had been a resi-
dent of this city for the past forty years
and his congenial traits won for him
the respect and friendship of all with
whom he was associated in his business
and social life. He was particularly
admired for his honesty in all business
transactions and for his jovial and
charitable nature, and his demise will
be deeply regretted in German-Ameri-
can circles.
Mr.. Lohse's death was due to kidney
disease. He had been in ill health for
about two years, but his condition was
not considered serious until last Thurs
day, when he was compelled to go TO
bed. Afterwards there was a slight
Improvement in his condition and
hopes were entertained for his recov-
cry until a few hours before the end
came. He was born in Brunswick,
Germany, in 1885, came to this coun-
try when twenty years old. and soon
afterwards located in Wheeling. Aftet
arriving here he secured employment.
at Daub's brewery, which then stood
where the "Old Home opposite the
Second ward market house, is now To-
Gated, and was one of the city's first
brewers. About thirty years ago he
engaged in the saloon business, and in
later years was located at No. 2145
Market street. He sold out his estab-
lishment last April and since then had
lived in retirement from business pur-
suits on account of his failing health.
He was a member of the Logan Tribe
OF the Red Men, the William Tell Lodge
of the Odd Fellows and Herman Helm
Lodge, No. 6, of the Druids. He was
an active member Of the Pioneer Soci-
ETY. and an honorary member Of the
Wheeling Turner's Society and the Bee
thoven Singing Society. He was also
a stakeholder of the Arion Society and
one of the founders of the Beethoven
Society. Mr.. Lohse united with the st.
Johns German Evangelical Church
soon after coming to Wheeling, and
served at n time as president of the
congregation. He was associated with
nearly every German organization in
the city and took an active part in the
work.
Mr.. Lohse was in his 9th year. and
leaves a wife and five children to
mourn the loss. The surviving chill
dren are Charles w. and Misses Carrie,
Amelia, Anna and Minnie Lohse. Ar
rangements for the funeral have not
yet been completed. All the societies
to which deceased belonged will attend
the obsequies in bodies.

HOW TO KEEP THE HOUSE COOL.

"Many things can be done to make
even the small house comfortable, rest
full place in hot weather." writes Maria
Parloa, in the The Ladies' Home journal
for August. "Of course the windows
must be properly shaded with blinds or
awnings, and also we'll screened. ALI the
heavy hangings should be removed, and
when possible the carpets should be taken
up or covered with linen. Cool colors,
such as white, gray, light greens and
blues, should take the place of the warm
or colors. Thin white muslin curtains
soften the light. The house should be
we'll aired and summed at least once day.
The early morning Is best for this. Open
all the windows and blinds and let the
sun and air pour through the house.
About nine O'Clock close the blinds and
all the windows except one or two down.
stairs and two or three upstairs. In the
open windows place wet grass screens, or
cover the regular screens with wet fan
mel. When the sun goes down open all
the windows and blinds. A skylight or
window should be kept open night and
day in the attic, except, of course, when
1t rains. The cellar windows should be
open only at night. If they are not closed
during the heat of the day the warm,
moisture-laden air enters the cellar and
condenses on walls, pipes, metals, etc..
and In few days will make 1t so damp
as to be an unsuitable place for keeping
food.n

Good Advice, Hard to Follow.

Extreme worry comes from trying to
bear all the cares of lifetime at once
instead of letting each days evil be
sufficient unto itself. If we could live
our whole life in a few hours, it might
be consistent to think it all over in one
night. There is no past. there Is no
future, for doing or accomplishing.
The present time alone is for action.
and the order is and always will be one
thing at time. This one thing must
be done on the instant in whatever cir
cumstances we find ourselves.
Not that we should be forgetful of
the past or careless of the future. The
former has been our faithful school
master; the latter holds for us the is
sues of life. That we may act intelli-
gently in the present it is essential for
us to look forward as far as the future
can reasonably be predicted, but not to
worry.
A degree Of anxiety may be founded
upon facts that point almost inevitably
to future difficulties, but large part
Of the forecast of trouble is groundless,
as is proved when things do not turn
out as expected. Overanxiety is al
ways crossing bridges before they are
reached, and it will stay awake all
night borrowing trouble from the re-
mote future.-ChautauQ

To the Editor of the Press

To the Editor of the Press
Dear Sir: We feel desire to thank
you for telling the people of Stafford
Springs about Devoe lead and zinc, In
comparison with lead and oil but are re-
strained by the fact that your business is
to print news, all the news, especially
good news.
1t concerns every man that owns a
house; 1t concerns every painter. Scarce
ly one of your readers is not concerned
with a paint that saves men, on the aver
age, several dollars a year apiece.
And painter, whose work lasts twice
as long as the work of other ''good paint
ers," Of course, will get all the business
as soon as the fact Is known.
But the people won't wait for proof,
when we authorize our agent to sell 1t
under this guarantee
eff you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting 1t on or here
after In the wear, tell your dealer about
1t.
"We authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
The usual painters saying is that lead
Is good for three years; Devoe lead and
zinc Is good for six years-yes, for ten or
fifteen In favorable circumstances, If you
mean "turns water"
Yours truly,

At TWILIGHT.

IN tho old home alone at twilight gray,
As night folds her robes o'er Thanksgiving day.
4 am dreaming again by the ireight's glow
The beautiful dreams OF the long ago
Long ago, when my wayward feet
Wandered mid flowers wild and sweet,
When hearts were golden and skies were blue
And LIE reflected each glorious hue,
When the dearest Joy Of the gladsome earth
Was the blush Of arbutus, the violet's birth,
And the deepest of all my childish woes
Was watching the bright petals fall from the
rose.
Pale Is the blossom blushing knew
And its leaf overfiowing with tears Of dew.
The violet sobs she droops her head,
"You loved me not as you loved the dead"
Rambling Ger mossy ruins gray
Is the eglantine of the years, and today
Its bright thorns CLEAN in the autumn sun,
But its blossoms have fallen one by one.
All. know full well, for my thoughts will stray.
As sit alone in the shadows gray,
Though the arbutus blossoms and sweetbrier
Il grows,
That every petal is gone from the rose.

Hartford Times One day last week
Rev. A. J. Mcleod, pastor of the Con-
gregational church in Central Village,
town of Plainfeld, prevented the destruc-
tion by fire Of Willard Shelden's house.
When Mr.. Mcleod discovered blaze
breaking through the roof of Shelden's
house around the chimney, he was writ
ing sermon In his study, in his shirt
sleeves. Rushing out of doors he seized
a ladder and an axe, and climbing to the
roof made the shingles fly. Then resolv-
ing himself into bucket brigade he soon
had the fire under control. By this time
a small crowd gathered and cheered the
minister. Mr.. Sheldon was In bed with
broken lib, unable to move, and but for
the PASTORS quick action serious results
might have followed.

One who has recently returned from

"It would be difficult for the most gifted
writer to adequately portray and describe
this wonderful exposition" In the choice
OF the site, a most ideal selection was
made, and the person who has not visited
the grounds has but eight conception
OF the marvellous beauty and colorings of
the buildings. What was barren waste
is now most artistic park land adorned
with wealth of foliage and innumerable
fantastically designed beds of flowers.
The part played by electricity In the
mammoth show has never been eoualled

Uncle Sam has an exhibit which Is the
admiration of every visitor. Music, and
there Is music everywhere, and by fine

Every visitor gets his moneys worth and
