Senator S. b. Elkins is in town
His coming means much to Morgan
town around which he is heavily in.
terested and in which town he is
still further to invest. All morning
he has been in conference with local
people and the subject matter of this
conference has been of great impor-
tanee to the city.
1t is understood that one result of
the conference is that he has agreed
to take the entire issue of bonds which
is TO be made by the Electric Light
and Street Car company. This
amounts to 5000, 900. Some Time ago
he agreed TO take half of these bonds.
Now he has determined to take all
OF them. The company will be In
shape to prosecute the work of con-
struction and equipment of their sys-

stated above are to be relied upon
Mr.. Elkins is not only interested in
this direction but he is large owner
OF coal lands near here. Up the NJ.
and X. he is putting In an immense
plant. Seven hundred coke ovens are
to be constructed and a very large
mine will be opened.
These operations will bring thous-
ands of people to this valley The
work is being pushed very fast but
more men will be employed as soon as
they can be secured and places made
for them to stay. The work itself
will soon admit of the employment of
more men as there will be more room
for them TO work.
A problem connected with this is
the matter of housing and caring for
the workmen. FL. G. Prick and others
of Pittsburg, it is understood, will
erect large hotel at Dellslow. There
are to be at least 100 rooms in it. This
will in some degree solve the problems
which are presented.
A number of rumors as to the rea-
sons of the senior Senator are in circu-
lation but 1t is hard to get authentic
information on any except in regard
to those given above.

David viii be here in Person.

So much interest is being taken IN
the forth coming presentation OF
"David Harum" at Swisher's Theatre,
Friday September 26th., that the as
sumption seems warranted that the
sale of seats which begins this morn
ing will be unusually heavy. AT all
events arrangements have been made
to handle very large crowd when the
sale opens, The success of the play
has been of unusual proportions. In
fact none OF the bookmade plays of
the past three seasons has had so great
measure OF success and the work
possesses lasting qualities which will
give it life for many years. Mr..
Turner who heads the cast, made a
very close study Of David Harum''
and before the production of the play
went to Homer, N. Y, and visited
all of the places mentioned in the
book. 10 making up as Harum he
adheres closely to the description Of
the man gwen by Westcott and he
certainly CLOCKS the part Great
care was taken in giving the play the
necessary atmosphere and the produc-
ton is a most complete one. The
first act setting is an exterior scene
and is pretty. The second act shows
Harums office in the bank and the
third shows the old fashioned sitting
room in Aunt Polly's house.

no such difficulty confFonts those who

to educational posts. The universities
likely to be represented among candi-
dates for a position may be counted on
the hngersNof one hand, and it does not

A woman naturally loves to talk and

matrimonial risks may have the choice
of mating or declining to mate with one

to tell your own story In a plain,

may cost you a pang of humiliation,

There is no gainsaying that people
would be often very much happier if

perhaps they should know; but the
seeming deception will work out it's
own destruction, perhaps just at a time
when one is least prepared to meet the

the senate of the United States, and
that the tariff and customs levied and
collected in the islands, from the be-

law now in force, are also approved.

negie's name has recently been con-
nected is, as an ideal scheme; wholly
admirable. The provision of greater OPP
portunities for postgraduate study
naturally appears to be one of the most
wholesome methods possible for the
absorption of surplus wealth. In certain
circumstances this would be so. But I
am not sure that this is precisely the
direction in which the next advance
may most profitably be made. In the
present condition of things an increase
of the facilities for post graduate study
might even aggPaVate one of the most
serious dangers now threatening the
educational system of America For the
principal trouble with American edu-
cation today is that it is top-heavy.
The ultimate stage is reached too early.
Men are attempting the work of spe-
cialiStS in post graduate classes when
they are still freshmen in everything
except the name. The consequence is
that this excess Of zeal for original pro-
duction defeats it's own end, and that
what are supposed to be finished
products show painful signs of crude
workmanship. The remedy is to be
found-if one may compare the educa-
tional system to building-not in put
ting additional masonry into the high
est story, but in laying more substan-
tial foundations and strengthening the
main structure. And this most neces-
sary reform would, / believe, be ac-
complished to a considerable degree
by the execution of such scheme as
has been outlined in this paper.

but under the continual fire of abuse
her love grew dormant, her spirits
dropped; at last her health gave way,
and she became a most pitiable wreck.
1t was not long after the courts freed
her that her nature rebounded. 1t
was a most useless sacrifice.
Now, when a man is imbued with
such. nature it Is folly to tell him
anything more than it is possible to
conceal. Had he not been present at
that meeting the wife understood him
too well to have told him Of the tri-
fling compliment of which she thought
nothing, but which she knew would
irritate him, and 1t would have been
wise for her to keep her. own counsel
1t is worse than folly for a wife to
suppose that she can keep secrets,
from the fact that she is apt to betray
herself, or if she does not someone
will take the job off her hands and
betray her in spite of herself

There is wide diverging line between
discretion and deception. A wife may
be discreet through not telling every
trif1e that does not in the main amount

may take exception. She deceives
when through guilty consciousness she
does that which she will not admit to
be unequivocally wrong, but where
she bushes up her conscience that
keeps buzzing insistently that she is
not doing what she knows to be right.
Secrets that amount to anything
are dangerous, but, in the matter of

ends in a fascination for them. A
woman with foolishly jealous, sus-
picious husband learns TO experience
sense Of pleasurable excitement in
outwitting him, which grows upon her
until from being only a very foolish
woman she becomes a very reckless
one.
One Of the saddest cases I ever knew,
which resulted in divorce and other
horrors, was occasioned by nothing
more than the chance meeting of a
former admirer of the wife. The lat
ter was most devoted, as had been
proven with a marriage with a man
beneath her in every sense of the word,
who knew nothing of social life, and
regarded all social intercourse as sa-
tanic surprise parties. His wife had
become the mother of several children
and when walking together one day
they CHANGED to meet a man who had
courted the wife in her school days,
but whom she had not seen since long
before her marriage. The gentleman
was delighted at seeing the girl whom
he had wooed, and she, too, was pleas
ed. She introduced her husband, and
the three stood talking, when the man
said with all the CALAMITY of the old
school: "You were the sweetest girl
I ever knew, but you are even lovelier
and more beautiful now"
That chance meeting was the only
time she ever saw him, but the hus-
band was Infatuated. She tried to
laugh it off as an idle compliment,
but he made it the pivot of the most

day may come when they may be re-
vealed, accentuated and emphasized in
a manner never dreamed of and totally
at variance with all actual facts; COM
ing as a Misunderstanding blow to the
woman.
1t is this phase of mans nature
that often makes it advisable for wo-
man to remain discreetly silent regard
ing the ordinary incidents of the past
1t is not deception, from the fact that
the trifles under discussion concern
happenings antedating her marriage.
A woman cannot give man her past,
but the future should be given gener-
ously, unreservedly, as long as she
bears his name and shares his ho1Ae,
and while it may not be exactly fair
to withhold full details of the past,
.it is often wisest to do so, save and
excepting Always where crime and dis :
grace make the contamination of the
marriage doubtful, if not improbable
or impossible.
There is spice of coquetry in every
lOvable wOman's nature. Had there
not been, she would not, in all proba-
bility, have married the man who was
won by these subtleties, and often
man inconsistency condemns in a wife
the very destinations that made her so
attractive as girl and in addition, is
indignant that others should recognize
or-remember these charms.
To some men the very mention of
the name Of an admirer of a wife's
girlfSh days will occasion a small sized
family explosion that will require sew
eral days to clear the smoke from the
atmosphere. The man himself may

now come and with it we have eStab-
lished, by law passed at the last ses-
sion of congress and approved by the
president, civil government in all the
archipelago except those portions oceu-
pied by the Moro and other nom Chris
tan tribes. 1t must also be remem-
bered that, even during the time of the
insurrection, civil government, by or
der of the president, was inaugurated
in many provinces of the islands. Let
us now look at the bill which has re-
Gently become law, after a great deal
of opposition on the part of those who
say we are doing nothing to advance
the interests of the natives of the Phil
ippines. 1t is a curious thing, be it
said in passing, that the bill providing
for civil government in these islands
should have met with such strenuous
resistance from so many persons in
and out of congress Who say they are
opposed to military rule and are crying
out so loudly about the injustice we
have dealt out to the FfIfpino.

first section that the action of the pres
