The ceremony was performed by
Rev. J. H. Howard, pastor of St.
Mathews church, at the rectory.
Only a few of the very near rela.
tlves and friends of the contracting
parties were present. Immediately
after the ceremony had been per
formed and congratulations ex-
tended the happy couple, they re.
paired to the Mcclure House where
a sumptuous wedding breakfast was
served. The newly welded couple
lett the same evening for points
east on a wedding tour, which will
cover a period of two weeks.
They will make their home at
Marietta where Mr.. Campbell Is
engaged In business, and Is num-
bered with the most prosperous
business men of the Ohio city.
The bride Is the only daughter of
Mrs. Clara Jones of this city, and Is
a handsome and accomplished lady.
Only very recently Mrs. Whiting
graduated from a prominent con-
servatory of music, of New York
City, with high honors.
The Review joins with the large
circle of friends here OF the bride In
extending congratulations and best
wishes to the happy couple for a
long and useful life of welded bliss.

addition to our city. The firm Is
we'll known here, has large trade,
plenty of capital to keep the plant
moving and will give employment
to many men who will move here
and make this city their home.
This Is an other new enterprise that
has been deciding upon a location

Preachers Changing and
Wanting To Change.

The many friends of Rev. VIM.
Burkhardt will sincerely regret to
learn that although he announced
only few days since that he would
remain here and not accept the call
he had received from Philadelphia,
he has again changed his mind and
has decided to accept the call and
will leave for his charge In few
days. Many of his congregation
are very much displeased with this
action on his part and think he
should have remained here a while
yet at least. A new rectory has Just
been completed for his use, the
church enlarged at considerable ex.
pense at his request; he has not
been here a year, although en-
ployed for at least that length Of
time and taking everything into
consideration they feel they are en-
titled to at least one years service.
We also understand that Rev. 7.
A. Anderson, of the Presbyterian
church, has placed an application
to fill vacancy In a Presbyterian
church at Marietta, Ohio, and viii
move to that city If hts application

HONORS TO THE
OLD YEAR

TheSAmerican people In passing
from the year 1909 to 1903 find
every reason for coueratu'ation and
rejoicing over the achievements oi
the old year. The present year
has been one of bounty, blessings
and progress.
The benetactions to education,
mainly to the higher branches, have
reached upwards Of one hundred
millions of dollars, which Is double
that of any preceding year. The
churches have been more fortunate
than they have ever been before,
and their gifts will reach many
millions In the way of religious be-
|nevolence. Coming to more, ma.
terial things our advancement has
been without precedent and places
the United States In the undlsputed
leadership Of the commercial
world. Our crops have been abun.
dant and we received good prices
for them. The progress Of the rail-
roads has been extraordinary, but
has failed to meet the demands OF
the great strides made In manufac-
turing products. The country has
been spared epidemics and contagi.
Gus disease. Our material advance.
ment has exacted a heavy penalty
In human life, bat all experience
teaches we must pay for what we
absorb of the powers Of nature.
Great In the aggregate 1t Is small
In proportion when results are con-
sidered.
We can dof our hats In grateful
parting with the old year, and enter
on the ew one with undiminished
hopes and assurances of continued
prosperity. With a spice Of ego
tism and bombast, we can all unite
In the loud acclaim that ours Is a
great country and we are a great
people, judged from every point OF
view. A Happy New Year to all.

r. J. Mays Injured.

Mr.. R. ]. Mays, who resides in
Garry Owen, was seriously injured
a few days since. He was riding
horse back and being quite old and
the weather being wet and cold he
was numb and very stiff. He was
coming down the river hill oppo-
site the city when a team came
along driving at a rapid rate. Mr..
Mays pulled his horse to one side
to let the team pass and In doing
50 the horse he was riding put Its
forefeet into very deep mud hole
at the side af the road and fell for
ward throwing Mr.. Mays into the
mud hole. The team that was COM
ing down the road drove right over
Mr.. Mays breaking his ribs over
his heart. He was brought to his
home and is now lying In very
critical condition. The team that
drove over him was from Stealy's
barn and the driver after running
over Mr.. Mays drove on and paid
no attention TO the old gentleman.
It was a cruel act and the drive:
deserves severe punishment. Mr..
Mays is very old man and his re
covery is doubtful.

The man who was killed by an.
Ohio River train below Mounds!
Vile on Monday night, has been
identified as Chris Pagan, a laborer
employed by the Hope Gas COM
pauy. Yesterday evening Mr.. Hast
ings. superint sndent of the Hope
company, arrived in Moundsville
and arranged for the burial of the
remains. If the relatives of the de
ceased can be located the body will
be forwarded to lhem, otherwise 1t
will be buried at Moundsville. 1t
was thought that his relatives were
at jamestown, N. Y, but they can
not be located there. It Is said
that Fagan came from New Castle.
Pa. %r
Justice T. w. Manning, who In
vestigated the matter, does not
credit the murderer theory ad.
vanced by the evening papers. He
says there Is nothing at all to sup.
port the theory. 1t was shown that
Pagan had no money, so robbery
could not have been the motive.
TACK Horan left Moundsville with
Pagan they intending to walk
down to their boarding house. Fa'
gan was very drunk, so Horan left
him and walked on down to the
hOuse.

CAPTAIN Mehen Relieved.

Captain James R. Meheu will not
be connected with the B. &. O.
Railroad compauy In the capacity
of detective after today. He was
served with a notice yesterday that
his services were no longer required
and that his salary would cease
with the arrival of the new year.
No reason for the action of the
Officials was given, and it Is the
presumption that the dismissal was
due to the method that Is being
employed by the company in de-
creasing Its expenses.
Captain Mehen is'perhaps as we'll
known as any man In the State,
He has been In the secret service
for many years aud has reputa-
ton that Is not that of any other
detective In the country. His
term OF service with the railroad Is
supposed to have been satisfactory
to all concerned. 1t Is not known
what vocation he will follow.

A correspondent writing from St.
Pierre warns the people of the United
States against being too liberal in their
assistance. He says that though help
is urgently needed just now it should
not be continued as its only effect is to
pauperize the negro population. He
cites the case Of Porto Rico after the
great hurricane, when help poured in
literally from all directions. He was
present on the island and acted as enc
of the distributors. When cottages and
huts had been rebuilt and small planta-
lions put in order, it was next 10 I'M

that 1t was the duty of the United
States to support them for the rest of

the West Indies IS far in excess of the
white population, and forms a problem
which each country strives to solve in
its own way. Hayu and San Domingo

the negro manages his own affairs.

ILLICIT DrQuoR

The Illicit disuuer has a very differ
cnt proposition to come M against now
to what he used to have. Coming up
against the Internal Revenue officers of
the Federal Government is an entirely
upon a different basis to coming up
former have nothing else to do except
&c follow up those who are violating
the regulations of the Internal Rev
enue. They settle on their trail and bag
their prisoners in the long run. 1t may
take years, but the place is located at
last, the raid made, and the moon
sinners spend some time i'm Jail. On the
other hand the country police have
many other duties to perform and can
not devote the whole of their attention
to capturing or hunting people who
2ye engaged in Illicit dlstillation.
If the Internal Revenue people keep
steadily after the Illicit distillers they
ought to be able to put an end to the
business almost entirely. 1t is true
that many, if not most of the stills, are
well hidden awTy. in the mountains,
but there are PATHS to these places and
there is always the tell-tale smoke
The difficulties of obtaining access to
these places are not nearly so great as
the locating of the mOonshiners' stills
in the Blue Ridge and other mountain
Businesses in the same direction.
Moreover there is nothing like the
risk in making captures. The moon
sinners of the Southern mountains are
vindictive and fearless They do not
hesitate to fight for their liquor, and
the means of its manufacture. Our
moonshiners. unless reinforced from
the mainland, acquiesce in the newt
aOle and are only too glad if they es-
cape with a light sentence.
Should the hunt after the Illicit stills
be kept up unremittingly, and should
the market for the sale of olIolehao be
closed the solution of the problem
would be reached But it is the latter
part of the problem which is the most
difHcult Here a small schooner with
a couple of gallons of Illicit liquor on
board was seized on Saturday night
and the vessel stands a good chance of
be ing forfeited, but if Honolulu is
watched closely, there is nothing to
prevent the liquor being run to one OF
the other islands and thence shipped
IL Honolulu by one of the coasting
steamers under some innocent guise. Ii
our illicit liquor maker is mild and not
aggressive, he is fun of wles and tricks
some of which have been played before
and some which new circumstances will
develop. But the Federal officers vii.
gather him.

But now there is no law which will
Keep out reptiles from coming from any
part of the United States, or from it's
dependencies, and the Customs officials
cannot take the responsibility of pre-
venting their landing. we stand some
danger Of having snakes introduced
either maliciously or through careless
ness. or course there is no law to pro-
tect snakes when they get ashore, and
every mans hand would be against
them, but once they got into the woods
they would thrive and multiply. The
charm Of our woodland life would be
gene, and picnics up our charming val
lcys would no longer be popular.
Some people have an idea that if
snakes wandered into our valleys they
would die of starvation. This is de-
cidedly not the case. The thick grass
of the mountain slopes simply swarm
with field mice, and snakes would grow
fat upon a generous diet provided by
the juicy mice, varied by the stronger
meat of a rat or a wild cat while there
are many small birds which can be fas-
cinated by the basilsk gaze and drawn
towards the voracious NAV.
Reasoning from analogy snakes would
doubtless do well here Hilo grass has
driven away the many excellent native
grasses. Lantana has spread till it
has become an expensive pest, costing
thousands of dollars to eradicate. The
japanese beetle has increased and null
jiplied exceedingly and we have not

Snakes, however, might meet with an

goose would go back to his primitive
habits and take to eating snakes. The
mongoose despises the rodent he was
imported to fight, and has devoted him
self to the contents Of our poultry
yards and the eggs and young of all
game birds which rest on the ground.
Now is snake more palatable than
spring chicken, very young ducks or
tender turkeys? If it is, the mongoose
would Immediately nose out Mr.. Snake,
and would keep him down. But the
best plan. far better than trusting to
the mongoose, is to have the introduc-
ton of snakes made an offence. Pre-
vention is far better than cure.
