DIR. RIKER
Nakes Brilliant Address, Thoroughly
American, to the Young Mems
Christian Association.

DR.. a. B. Riker, president of Mt. Tn.
ion college of Ohio, addressed the Young
Mems Christian association Sunday af.
ternoon in the Grand opera house. The
address was one Of the most profound
and brilliant that has ever been deliy.
cred here and large and intelligent all.
Hence highly appreciated it. The dis
tinguished speaker is both brainy and
ortoriCHl and a man of strong and mag
.netic personality. He discussed in very
logical and forceful manner the condi.
lions prevailing in America as to wealth
and society, reviewing graphically the
phenomenal strides made the last decade
in the production and accumulation of
wealth and the dangers attendant. Spec.
ial stress was placed by him on turning
leisure to good use, developing mind and
character. He thought little of modern
society" believing its main anxiety to
be the possession of a new fad. His sug.
gestiOn was that young American man.
hood, fully developed, should take pos
session Of society and be its guiding
star, bringing it to a state of purity
and intelligence. His auditors generally
were deeply impressed with his line Of
thought and the address was replete with
instruction that will have a favorable
result on all who listened to him.

visit her sister, Martha Kinney, who had
been staying at the boarding house OF

she inquired for Martha, she was told
that,3Iartha was there no more and had
not been for some time. 1t appears that
Martha was taken by an Interested friend
to a Pittsburg hospital. This was the
first inklng her people had Of her being
sent away. The little girl could not nm
derstand why Martha had gone and was
all the more grief-strieken on that ac-
count. II was a surprise to persons here
that the parents had not been informed
Of AIartha's whereabouts. 1t seems they
thought all the she was here, and
with that belief the little sister came
here to visit her. After it was l,Srned
here that Nlartha's people knew nothing
about her having left Clarksburg per-
sons here sent them word that it would
