A TOWN
Built and Populated By a Hendricks

Built and Populated BY a Hendricks
Saloon Man.
The following article written by
some Cumberland man gives In a
small way the position being rapid
ly gained by the saloon business of
this country. 1t might be difficult
to tell exactly just how many other
towns and officers are virtually
owned and controlled by the
whiskey men In them. There are
some places In our State, acting
far more dishonoyable because this
man is at least complying with the
law. The writer says, Gillispie,
of Hendricks, Tucker county, w.
Va, tried for six years to get a
liquor license and was refused by
the town corporation of Hendricks
He offered $1,000 year and was
still refused. Thereupon he bought
FIVE acres of land across the Cheat
river, directly opposite Hendricks,
and built twelve large tenement
houses and moved In families large
enough to represent Io8 souls, a
sufficient population for incorpora-
ton.
All this transplled since the 9th
of January. A few days ago he
had his town incorporate under
the name of Brooklyn Heights.
On the 18th of July he elected a
mayor and town council and early
this week applied to the county
commissioners for license 10 sell
liquors 10 the corporation of Brook
Ign Heights, which was granted.
He Immediately started to build
a saloon building, and In 4S hours
the building was completed, and he
was distributing beverages gratis
before the roof was on.
He has now contracted for a new
cable ACROSS the Cheat river at the
expense of $500 and has also built
a village lookup. The saloon with
open door faces Hendricks and Is
but a minutes walk from the town.
He is now selling liquor In his own
town and under his own mayor and
CITY uncil.
Great crowds flock ilto Giles
pies town from Hendricks and
Hemble on, AMI he Is doing a land
Office business.
To sum the matter up he owns
the town collects the rents and can
contro. he corporation taxes and
\ fines OF those who are drunk and
dlsorderly through the liquor be
sells and lodge them In his lookup.

ARRANGING FOR MAY FESTIVAL
Vote of Thanks for F. o. Goss, Sco-

VIII ana NdIcn COHpdHleS.
 The St Joseph's T. A. society held q largely attended meeting yesterday af- ternoon. Twelve new members were added to the roll. The Rev Father O'Brien of the Immaculate Conception church administered the pledge and in few pointed remarks showed .the good work the society was doing, and urged forcibly upon the members the necessity of keeping their pledge. The remarks were received with applause and the reverend gentleman was re4 quested to call again. The entertain ment committee reported that they had engaged the iron steamboat Sirius for their annual excursion to Coney Island, Saturday, August 9. They also report ed that arrangements are completed for the annual May festival of the so- ciety at City hall, May to 10. and an- nounced that Miss Stacia Cavanaugh and Miss Anna Donahue would contest in the combination book sale and rhat James Crane and J. Conroy would en- deavor to carry off the honors in the gentlemens contest. A vote of thanks
 was rendered to ID. o. Goss, the Sco- will Manufacturing Go and the New England Watch Go for favors received. President J. T. Mcdonald presented to ex-President T. IT. Freney, ex-Vice- President w. r. Guilfoile and W. IT. Ryder handsome gold buttons as tokens of respect from the society. Andrew Cavanaugh and J. H. Halpin Were elected members of the visiting com mittee. Altogether it was one of the most pleasant meetings held by the so- ciety and speaks well for the success of the various entertainments to be
 given by the society. H. A. Hayden
 was appointed to visit the different parts of the state in the interest of the May festival and no doubt he will give fine account of himself
