The Famous Liar Outdone.

This is what the Wheeling News
says Of once famous correspondent
who dated his dispatches at Par
kersburg: ''The Parkersbug news
paper liar has been distanced. He
has been sent to the bleachers full of
sorrow and Of the disappointment
that cometh of vain striving. A man
out at Rowlesburg, w. Va, has risen,
spector-like from the laurel and is ril-
ing the soul of the Parkersburg gen.
tleman. Here is what the genius
knocked out the Parkersburg imita-
tion with:
"Ben Johnson, handler Of nitro
glycerin, had hog running about his
place that was constantly licking
waste glycerine from the empty cans.
The other evening the brute got too
familiar with half-filled pail OF the
stuff and johnson hit him with a
stone. The pig blew up, and not
even an ear has been found"

FRUIT CROP
VIII be Small one According to
Dealers Statements.

According to the statements of
the dealers in fruit, the crop this
summer is going to be rather small
one and will by no means come up
to that of year ago. Since this is
so it would be an excellent idea for
those who are lovers of the juicy APP
pie, the delicious peach and the
tasty pear to curb their appetites.
As is perfectly natural, if fruit is
scarcer than usual it will be Of course
higher priced The outlook for the
local apple crop is far from being
what could be called excellent. The
majority for this market will come
from the west and York state. The
reason of the failure is that the cold
weather of several weeks back had
killing effect, and then the proper
attention was not given the trees
Many of the orchards have become
old and some of the trees have ceas-
ed to bear.
The fact is if new orchards are
not planted very soon in few years
this section of the country will be
without apple trees, The western
crop is good, but in York state,
where generally there is an excellent
one, there will only be about fifty
per cent of the usual growth.

MEN ONLY
Can be StenOgraphers for the B. and
O. Railway.

The rule on the Baltimore IL Ohio
that all stenographers on the road
must hereafter be men is being
strictly enforced. 1t was made after
President Loree came into power.
The intention to bar women from
this one department is because men
are said to be more qualified for pro-
motions, and the lower positions are
places where men are trained. The
position of clerk is the stepping stone
for big offices in the operating de
partmenGs. To thoroughly instruct
the men it is thought best to have
them begin at the bottom. 1t is al
so true that women are not able to
grasp the railroad business in tn lie
way that man seems fitted to do. 1t
is not the intention to get rid of any
of the present women employees, but
in the future the rule barring wo-
man, as stenographers in the opera
ting departments, will be strictly
enforced.

TWO CENTS
JULES VERNE
Thinks the Novel will Cease to
be Written
And the Newspaper will Take Its
Plaee-The Paper win Give Better
Idea of History than the Novel.

Auea VI htct0fy THAN tue SVfets
LONDON, July 1s-An interesting
interview with Jules Verne is print
ed in the Daily Mail.
The famous writer of around the
World in Eighty DAYS" is now at
work on his hnndredth volume
With such record it seems strange
that Verne should declare it to be
his belief that in so or 100 years
there will be no more novels written.
"They will all disappear said NJ
Verne. They are not necessary and
even now their merit and their inter
est are fast declining.
Newspaper writer's have learned
to color every day events so well
that to read them will give posterity
truer picture than the historic or
descriptive novel could do. As for
the novel psychologically, that will
soon cease to be and will die of imam
ition in your own life time.
sThe De Maupassants who will
delight the world in years to come
will do so in the newspapers of the
day and not in volumes They will
crystalize the psychology of the
world in which they i've by writing
up the day to day events.
"The real psychology of life is in
it's news. More truth--truth with
big T--ean be gathered from the
police court story, the railway acct
dent, from the every day doings of
the crowd and from the battles of the
future than can be obtained if an at
tempt is made to clothe the psychol-
ogical moral in garb of fiction"
"And in your own line, M. Verne
was asked, "where will the magma
tive iantasists of the future go for
their plots9"
81 do not think there will be many
of Them said Jules Verne. II be
lieve that the fantastic novel is on
its last legs. The writer OF the fu
ture, even if he peoples Mars, the
moon and other planets, can only do
SO upon human data.
"One day, perhaps, communica-
ton with the other planets will be
possible, and then You will have, not
novels about Mars and the moon,
but your lunar and your Marian
newspaper correspondence. Their
work will be more interesting read
ing than my own"

Prof. Sydney Lloyd Wrightson
of Chicago Elected Dean.

Englishman BY Birth-COncert Singer

Here With His Family September
Ist-COmes With Highest Recon-
mendati0ns.
Professor Sydney Lloyd Wrightson

Director OF the University School of
Music, and has accepted the position.
Mr.. Wrightson is a thorough must
clan, and has had large experience in
teaching and conducting choral and

he has studied as with other European

son now has a rank among the very
first vocal teachers of Chicago. He is
man of fine address, and full Of en-
thusiastic energy. He is in the prime
of life, and comes to us with the best
of records and the highest testimonials.
The University is fortunate indeed in
securing the services Of such an able
Director.
Prof. Wrightson is native En-
glishman, but has resided in this
country for the past twelve or fifteen
years. His musical education was
completed before coming to this coun-
try. For the past five or six years he
has conducted private studio in Chi
cage where his prices are 81 per lesson
of half hour each day or $500 per
quarter For the same time, one
quarter in the University here the
charges are $1,000. He is also an ex-
pert singer and for concerts outside
of the city of Chicago his prices have
been $3.50 per night. Within the
city he got 800 each night for con-
cert work.
Mr.. Wrightson has wife and one
son now residing in Chicago. He
married a lady of Washington, d. G.
He expects to move here with his fam
lily as soon as he can get house, prob
ably September 1st, and they will
make their home in Morgantown
The limit of salary fixed by the
Board of Regents was $4,000. Mr.
Wrightson could not be gotten for
this amount, and in order to secure
such an able man, DR.. Purinton, with
the Regents e. M. Grant and DR..
Hawofth became responsible for $500
more, making his salary $500. He
will teach vocal classes and be the
leader of the orchestra and choral
society but will not teach instrument
al music. He will also have entire
control and direction OF the music
department as Dean Of Music. He
will have the privilege of making
concert tours over this state and adj
joining states. 1t is desired that he
shall do this in order to advertise the
facilities of the University for teach
ing vocal music.
Those who heard Prof. Wrightson
sing while he was here during the
past week say that he has wonder
full voice, and they were much pleased
with The impression he made. He is
member of the Protestant Episco-
pal church.

DOMESTIC UNHAPPINESS
In a Marion County Family gets
into Court.
Samuel Corrothers and wife Have Sep
arated The Case now on Trial for
Possession of two Interesting Chill
dren.
Fairmont Times.

4luttrs
The case of Samuel Cnrrothers
against his wife Helen to recover con-
troll and possession of their two chill
dren was partially heard before Judge
q. S. Kendall in intermediate Court
Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Corroth-
ers was the first witness called, and
her testimony occupied the greater
part Of the afternoon. The case is
evidently considered as one not good
for the public to hear, as reporters
and the people in general were denied
admission to the court room while it
was in progress. 1t was learned, how
ever, that Mrs. Corrothers, story OF
her unhappy married life was not only
exceedingly interesting, but most pa
thetic and almost tragic.
In very modest manner she relat-
ed in detail the causes which, she
claims, led to her separation, and the
reasons why, as she AYERS, her hus-
band Is unfit to care for their two
pretty children. The portions of her
evidence which threw light on the be
ginning of their difficulties were touch
ingly sad given in Mrs. Corrothers'
own quiet, yet occasionally dramatic
way, and had the public been allowed
to hear her it is said much sympathy
would have been aroused in her be-
half. After Mrs. Corrothers had con-
cluded her testimony the case was adj
journed until Friday morning at nine
O'Clock.
