Edward Herd of Morgantown was
here between trains yesterday on his
way home from Donora, where he is
located for the present as the proprie-
tor of merry go-round. Ed is well
known here and ia Brownsville, his
former home. He is the proprietor
of toby factory in Morgantown and
became involved with the merry-go-
round quite by accident. Six weeks
ago his seventeen year old son Frank,
who is law student in the West Vir-
ginia university, proposed to his faith
er that he would run a merry round
through the summer vacation, If he
would get him one which he did forth
with and went out with the young
man to help him get a start. Then
Frank got sick with typhoid fever, and
is just now recovering so the merry-go-
round was left on his fathers hands
But he is making a success of it just
as he has made success of making
toties, and raising oranges in Florida
and just as he would make a success
of anything requiring push and vim

LITTLE PROSPECT OF HARMONY.
Said that Proposed Conference will
Fail TO Bring About Agreement Be-
tween Glass Manufacturers.

CLEVELAND, July u.-There
seems to be little prospect of an
agreement being reached by the
Glass manufacturers, who win meet
in this city Thursday The fight
between the American Window
Glass company and the Independent
has been long one, and the confer
ence is the idea of James A. Cham
bers, OF the former company, who
hoped that some understanding
could be reached by calling all of
the manufacturers together
Failure to accomplish much, If
anything, at the conference is pre-
dicted because of the statement au
thoritatively made today that no of
fetal of the Independent will attend
the meeting Thursday If any
should attend it will simply be out
of personal curiosity. The indie
pendent claims that in order to
strengthen the market an effort will
be made to create the impression
that there is large attendance at
the meeting and that all interests are
represented. Formal notification Of
this has been issued by an official of
the Independent company. If the
meeting here fails the American will
doubtless enter upon fierce rate
war
The Glass Workers of America,
who began their meeting yesterday,
held their sessions behind closed
doors today They refused to give
any information regarding their
meeting, BUTT is understood that
wage scale is being discussed and
that the manufacturers will be asked
to sign new scale.

Mines Friday.
Much Pleased With the Development
Here-Aceompained by His Sons.

Senator Stephen B. Elkins and
his sons who arrived here Thursday
and went up the M. d X. road re-
turned at o'clock same evening
much pleased with the industry
along Deckers creek valley. The
Senator has large blocks of coal
land along this valley and the de-
velopment there is adding to the
value of his holdings every day.
Friday Mr.. Sturgiss drove Senator
Elkins out to the new Fulmer coal
mines on the Sturgiss farm, returning
about noon. There is probability
of his greatly increasing his already
important holdings in this county.
He is an energetic man with good
head and an eye for business.
The Senator and his sons travel in
his private car. dining and sleeping
on board so that the public gets to see
little Of them when they come to the
city. Mr.. Pence spoke in the highest
terms of Mr.. Elkius as business
man.

TWO CENTS
OUT OF DEBT.
Baptist Church Raised Last
Dollar for New Edifice.
Great Increase in Five Years of Rev.
MeCuteheon's Passionate New
Members so in the past year $1,000
Gift by j. w. Holland $500 BY L.
II. Runner. "a


Out of debt and ready to burn mort
gage is the handsome new Baptist
church. This announcement was
made at the beginning of the sixth
year OF Rev. j. l.. MeCntcheons pas
torate last Sunday.
The Congregation has been very pros
porous for the past few years. More
than two hundred new members have
been added under Rev. McCutcheon
pastorate. Fifty OF these additions
have been made in the past year.
The church has great reason for en-
couragement and hope. The new
ediflee is one of the prettiest in the
city and is roomy enough to aceomo-
date very large congregation.
The following facts are quoted from
one who is intimate with the affairs
Of the church:
''On last Sunday Rev. j. L. Nc
Cutcheon began the sixth year of his
pastorate of the Morgantown Baptist
church.
The last five years have witnessed
great advancement in all directions
fer the congregation. From a weak
discouraged membership OF about one
hundred, having no church home and
burdened with debt, they have grown
to be strong organization Of over
$50, with handsome house OF wor-
ship and able to meet all their Imam
cial obligations. They are now pay
ing $500 more per year on pastors
salary than they did five years ago,
and during this time have paid about
$500 on church debt. Good subscrip-
tions covering the last $4,000 are now
in hand. Half of this amount will
be paid over by Saturday and the
remainder On or before Dec. 1st. This
will put the church entirely out OF
debt, and ready for advance along
new lines.
The entire membership have given
willingly and literally. Especial mem
tion should be made of the handsome
gifts fMr.J. w Holland and Mr. Lewis
Runner although not member of
the church has given $500 on the an
nuity plan.
Mr.. Runner who gives this $500
was formerly a member of Pleasant
Hill church near here. About twenty
years ago be brought his church let
ter here to unite with the Morgan
town congregation.
There was some objection to
the letter which hurt the feelings of
Mr.. Runner offended him so Sc
verely that he has never again APP
piled for admission to the church,
though he still retains his loyalty to
the organization. He IS now a very
old man. The gift made by him
will be formally received on Satur-.
day of this week.

Charity and Blackmail.

In this city, there is merchant
who has on his ledger a charity
and black mail account. Under
this head comes the amounts he has
expended for advertisements On the
hotel clock, the hotel cabinet, the
hotel rules and regulations, the
church program, the benefit perform
ance adj and things of like nature.
To make these notations under the
head of expense would cause a
false entry and might confuse the
bookkeeper. But such advertising
schemes, to certain extent, seem
necessary evils and for the present
generation must be tolerated, it
seems.

Hicks Hit it.

Here is what the Rev. Iri Hicks
says of the weather for this very day.
He predicted the worst storms of the
season for the first half OF July: "The
10th day of July is not strictly with
in the limits of a storm period. but it
is the date on which the moon crosses
the celestial equator and is covered
by the combined influences OF the
Venus and Mercury periods. Hence
the reactionary storms due about the
18th TO 18th will most probably de-
yelop on and touching the 10th. Ex-
cessively warm weather will exist
prior to storm EXAMINATIONS at this
time.n
