Gypsy Jack" Jan. b

Despite the apparent sway of farce
comedy and show girl'' performances,
the old-fashioned .melodrama still
claims its devoted adherents. That
this is so, without doubt, is practi-
cally proven by the unstinted success
which has greeted Wills Granger dur
ing his present tour with Gypsy
Jack" Not only is Manager Edward
G. White highly pleased with the re-
ception which has greeted his new
star, but the latter has, by his intrin-
sic worth as melo-dramatic actor,
proven his fitness for tie role of the
gypsy boy, which is the leading char
acter in the production.

A few days ago an elderly gentleman
and his wffe were walking along the
street when lady in crossing the road
fell down. The old gentleman rushed
to her assistance and helped her in ev-

his wife, she looked like thunder
cloud.
ITS all right: it's all right" he whis-
pered.
Eyes, I know it's all right?' she re-
piled holly. Here's an unknown wom-

street to help her. and the other day.

SOME improvements should be made
in our city charter. The Legislature
will meet in few weeks. Would it
not be well for the city council to APP
point charter committee, whose
duty it shall be to study our needs
carefully and recommend to the coun-
Gil what changes are essential in the
charter to the government Of the
livellest and most substantial city in
the state? The Telegram earnestly
urges the council to take this matter
up at its next meeting. Other cities
10 this state have taken such action.

The chri.tian Nnne.

The term christian name''> is used
in England and America only. "Bap-
tismal name" is used In other countries
The term seems to have been used
first after the reformation, when Bib
Heal names were used as reaction
against the use OF the saints names In
the calendar. It is evident that all
Biblical names are not Christian, but
the reaction went so far as to consider
everything in the Bible as Christian
and everything not in the Bible as
pagan or certainly non-Christian.

WHEN that English noblemen, the
Daily Telegram told its readers about
yesterday, came into possession OF a
big tract of wild territory, he probably
gave no thought to it as a treasure,
but the fame of West Virginia as a
wealth-producing state has gone across
the Atlantic and attracted his atten-
tion. This is but one instance of the
turning of eyes upon this state.

Public Galleries Of Both Houses Pack

FeIl-Senate and House Notified
of Deaths During Recess and Ad-
iourn Until Noon Today.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE hall OF
representatives presented a brilliant
scene at the opening of the last SEES
sion of the present congress at noon
' esterday. During the recess the
chamber had been r~edecorated through
out. The old color scheme of gold
and Carmine was preserved. but the
fresh colors served to tighten the gen
eral effect.
Although the gavel did not fall until
noon, the public galleries were packed
soon after they were thrown ope at
10 o'clock. and the sections reserved
for the families and friends of mem
hers also filed early. In the galleries
were many handsomely gowned socie-
ty ONE
Three minutes before the hour of
noon the doors from the rear lobby
swung open and Speaker Henderson
entered. He was Immediately sur
rounded by members and held a recep-
ton on the marble steps of the ros.
rum until the hands of the clock met.
Then. exactly at noon. he assembled to
his place. A great outburst of applause
greeted him as he faced the house n
galleries. With several vigorous
whacks of the gavel. he stilled the
demonstration.
In the rush that followed. the blind
chaplain. Rev. Couden. offered prayer,
f~rrvently invoking the divine blessing
upon the president, the government,
the members of congress and the work
Ct the session.
When the chaplain had concluded.
the speaker directed the clerk to call
the roll.
When the roll call was finished the
speaker announced a quorum present.
The designations of Representatives
Ray If New York and Hall of Pennsyl-
yania were laid before the house.
Immediately after the swearing in of
the new members Mr.. Taylor of Ohio
created a furry by offering a resolu'
tion to investigate the election OF Car
ter Glass in the sixth Virginia dis
trict.
Mr.. Richardson. the minority leader,
challenged action upon the resolution
but as Mr.. Taylor did not ask action
upon it. but only that it be referred
to the committee on elections. it was
so referred without objection.
A resolution was then adopted fol

CONVERSE
SITE SELECTED AND MR.. CON-
VERSE NOTIFIED OFFICIAL
LY FROM WASHINGTON.
Embraces Si~ Lots at the Northwest
Corner of Third and T~hornburgh
Streets, Opposite the Cathedral
Price to Be Paid is Eight Thou
sand Dollars.

Mr.. Jesse Converse was officially
notified from Washington this morn
ing that his bid for a site for the pro
posed 800. 900 postofiice building in
this city had been received and ac-
Ccpted, thus setting at rest any un-
certainty caused by the ambiguity OF
the press dispatches sen out from
Washington Friday.
The site selected embraces lots |,
. 3, 4, and ) and 6. block Ia. and cx-
tends westward from the corner OF
Third and Thornburg strcctstothe alley
running north and south through the
block and nOrthward from Thornburs
street 1872 feet. The price submitted
in the bid was s 5000.
The building will have frontage to
the south and east. avoiding the imagi-
nary difficulty of a westward exposure.
When bids for a site were asked for
several propositions were submitted.
Besides that offered by Mr.. Converse,
and which was accepted by the acting
secretary of the treasury, the site at
the southeast Corne of Third and
Grand, the one at the southwest cor
ner and the southeast corner of Third
and Thornburgh, two on Fourth street,
between Thornburgh and Grand. and
the southwest and northwest corners
of Second and University avenue were
also offered.
For the site at Third and Grand a
very large petition was presented.
bearing the names of a thousand or
more residents of the city and many
business firms. but this petition was
not sufficient to influence the selec-
ton of that as the site for the building.
1t is believed the next step in the
matter will be the sending of a man
from the department of justice at
Washington to look up the title to the
property and pass upon that. after
which it will be formally transferred to
the government, if the title be found
without flaw, and the purchase price
paid. How much time will elapse is
not known. After that bids will be
submitted and the work of construction
begun.
