West Virginia Industrial Progress.

Among the states of the Union
whose citizens have just cause to
be proud at the excellent showing
which has been made In the decade
covered by the census reports, es.
pecially with regard to manufactur-
Ing enterprises, is the State OF West
Virginia. The Mountain State is
one with vast and varied resources,
and the story of Its development,
as told In figures bearing upon
manufacturing interests, Is as fol-
lows:
In 1890 the capital invested In
manufacturing was SIS, 900 900; In
1900 1t was double that. amount.
In 1890 the yearly amount of wages
paid In manufacturing lines was
less than $7.ooo,ooo; In 1900 1t was
nearly SIS 100000 The value of
the products of the manu-
featuring plants has likewise In,
creased from SIS. 900. 900 to 74,ooo,-
900. Apart from this, West Wiz
ginia produces raw materials In
generous quantities. It's lumber
industry has long been recognized
as a leading factor In Its prosperity.
1t produces oil, coal and gas liber.
ally, and has, besides, many fertile
farms and well.to-do agrlculturists.
1t is only In limited tier of coun-
ties that this industrial activity has
gotten under full sway, but railroad
lines have been pushed into unde-
veloped regions of the state, and
the future Is as promising as the
past has been productive of mater
ial result. It Is we'll to keep an
eye on West Virginia and Its Indus
tries.

sCHLEY WON'T ACCEPT OFFICE.
Declares In Chicago He VIII Never
Take Place, However High, and
Jeopardize Country's Love.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Rear Admiral w.
s. Schley Saturday thrice declared
that he had no intention of entering
politics.
At the Booster club, of which he
is an honorary member, the admiral
said in part:
Il have been deeply touched by the
tributes which l have received. They
have been tributes Of love, and in my
future years l shall never accept any
Office, however, high, which might
jeopardize that love. 1t is the dearest
thing have. 1t is the greatest crown
a man can have on this earth, and
when I am gone I want it left with
my children and their children as
their dearest possession"
A delegation from Ottawa, Kan,
presented the admiral with an invita-.
ton to address the Chautauqua of
that city, and upon his statement
that it would be necessary for him
to decline the invitation, a member of
the delegation insisted that NO
would not be taken for an answer.
I'VE will get our governor and sen
ators and congressman after you,
said the Kansan.
They will have no more influence
than you, for am not in politics and
do not expect to be-" the admiral re-
piled.
Saturday for the admiral was a
round of receptions, at each of which
he expressed his gratitude for tokens
Of esteem and appreciation. He was
feted by city and county authorities
and presented with resolutions of es-
TEEN. The demonstrations reached
their climax in the banquet given in
his honor by the Hamilton club in the
banquet hall Of the Auditorium Satur-
day evening. approximately $50
guests were present.
Mrs. Schley seemed to enjoy the
demonstration even more than her
distinguished husband.
At the Hamilton club banquet Ad-
miral Schley said in part:
Il have no aspiration for any civil
office, however high it may be. CAP
plause.) My one ambition has been
to serve you faithfully, Loyalty, devot
eddy (applause), and if l have sue
ceeded in doing that the measure OF
my ambition is full, and my only
other ambition is that l may retain
for the rest of the years that may be
vouchsafed for me your love, your es,
TEEN and your respect. r(Cheers.) |

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Lunar II. Holmes, of Springfield,
Mo-, has refused to adopt the name of
Frisbie, though for doing so he would
have received $4,000. Louise Frisbie,
his aunt, left him that sum on condi-
ton that he make the change, but he
refused to do so. He had year to
consider the matter.
John w. Donegan, a justice of the
peace in Jersey City, has established
his claim to being considered man of
his word. Some months ago he an
nounced that he would give hand
some suit of parlor furniture to the
twenty-frst couple for whom he tied
the nuptial knot. After officiating at
90 weddings he calmly took unto him
self a bride, to whom he has now given
the promised parlor suit.
Hillaire Belloc, whose peculiarly
vivid method of presenting history has
made his "Robespierre'' so talked
about, was once French artillery
man. He belonged to the Eighth reg
iment, and his post of duty was the
drivers seat of gun carriage, where
he is said to have handled the reins
with conspicuous ability. What this
means in point of nerve and skill will
be apparent to anyone who has seen
rapid artillery maneuvers.
Some of the greatest men England
has produced have resolutely refused
to accept titles, even when urged to
do so. Carlyle was notable instance
in the field of letters. Mr.. Glad
stone in the field of politics. The or
der of merit will meet cases of this
kind, and will be a higher badge of
honor than any title. Carlyle ac-
cepted the Prussian order of merit.
Lord Kelvin is now the holder of both
the Prussian and British orders.
It is noticeable that newspaper and
book writers have good deal of infu-
ence at the white house of late. Booth
Harrington, William Allen White, a
Kansas City editor; William Marion
teidy, a Missouri newspaper man; Al
bert Shaw, editor of the Review of Re-
views; Jacob Riis and Henry Loomis
Nelson may be mentioned as among
those whose influence has contributed
to appointments. Then Henry Cabot
Lodge was historian before he be-
came senator and Dudley Foulke is a
writer as well as civil service re-
former.
Gabrielle D'Annunzio, the distin-
guished italian writer, has been re-
celylng during the last few months so
many requests for his autograph from
collectors and admirers, not only in
italy, but throughout Europe, that he
has at last grown tired of signing his
name and has adopted novel method
Of notifying the public that he is un-
able to comply with any such requests
IN future In the hotel at Bologna
where he is staying this notice may
now be read: "Gabriele D'Annunzio's
right hand is injured, and therefore
he regrets to say that he cannot write
his name IN albums or OF postal cards, .

SHAVED THACKERAY's BUST.
American COLLECTORS Didn't Like the
Mhiskers and Had Them
Taken on. -


The bust of Thackeray in Westmin-
ster abbey had several years ago upon
its cheeks those pendant whiskers
that are called "weepers" from their
resemblance to the foliage of the will
low To-day the whiskers are no
longer there, says a London paper.
Their destruction was due to William
n Lambert, of Philadelphia, the great
est collector of Thackerayana in this
country, who has many portraits in
oil and many in ink, pencil and wash
sketches of Thackeray, and hence
should know how the novelist looked
at every stage of his life. Mr.. Lambert
is sure that Thackeray never wore
asweepers,'' and. therefore, he volun-
Eeered not long since to stand the ex-
pense of the removal of the objection
able whiskers from the otherwise ac-
curate and spirited Marochetti bust.
Mrs. Thackeray Richie arranged the
matter; the bust was taken for brief
space out of Westminster and the
mhiskers were trimmed down to the
proper length. Mr.. Lambert wa per-
mitted to have a replica made of the
Westminster bust, and it now stands
on one of the landings of the stairway
of his house in Germantown.
