P. B. Ross Spent In q Tree.
Bob Davis, whose boat was upset
Friday night while attempting to res
cue Pearl Ross from tree in the
river and who was forced to take
refuge in the same tree, describes his
experience as follows: when !
reached the tree Ross was shaking
from cold and exposure. We took
refuge in the limbs about twelve feet
above the water. Catching some
drift wood we laid 1t between two
forks In the trees and made fairly
comfortable seats. Swapping our
selves to the limbs with our suspend
ers and boat chain we settled down
for the night. As l was bareheaded
/ made hat out Of cottonwood leaves
and l really appreciated that bat
more than any one I ever had. Our
only means Of keeping warm was BY
sitting back to back. We suffered
terribly from cold and every hour
Of the night seemed an age. People
on the south Of the river built q fire
and kept Us awake BY calling 70 rs
sysry hour. About II O'Clock feared

worry sick but the III feeling soon
passed away and We wsathsrsd the

erS within its gates. There are COM
paratively few statues here and most
Of these are counterfeit presenJments

gle one Of the great merchant princes
or manufacturers who have made the
great American metropolis. True,
there is William E. Dodge, but this is
due to his philanthropy and not to
his business success. Ericsson,
Greeley, Bennett and Arthur are so
distinguished. but none of these was
native of New York. From a patri-
otto point Of view those to Washing

Lincoln are most cOmmendable, but
one finds it hard to explain why one
should see statues to Burns. Mozart,
Garibaldi, Wagner, Scott, Verdi, ETC.,

be not a commercial city and the COM
mercial city of the earth, then it is
nothing; and it is crying shame

because of his audacity. He, least OF

than offset the detection from the fu

Mahattan enjoys singular exemption
from burglary and sneak-thief oper-
alton. This is due more probably to
the absence of allies than to the eff
ticiency of the police. 1t requires
more courage than is possessed by the
ordinary criminal TO make fOrcibfe
erry into a house under the full
glare OF an electric light.
Referring to allies. people from
other cities find more or less to COM
ment upon in the almost continuous
blockade Of sidewalks in the business
districts. In most of the down town
streets one finds it necessary every
block or two to take to the street in
order to escape unloading and loading
wagons. Another strange as we'll as
lnartlsuc practice, is that of having
the garbage cans in front of palaces
as We'll as tenement houses. Nor are
the contents of those emptied so fire.
HuentIy as simple sanitary laws
would suggest.

just Now is the Time.

With the approach of spring,
why is it that our citizens do not
take an active part in. and encour-
age the beautifying of our park at
the mouth of the great Kanawha?
This spot of ground can be niade
most delightful resort during
the sultry summer evenings and
an effort on the part of our citi-
zens will bring this to bear.
We are ell interested in the
identifying of this park. and in
making it a spot of beauty to be
enjoyed by ourselves, it is doubly
appreciated by the hundreds from
our sister state, who visit us at
this time.
Seated in the Park one has a
view up the Ohio river some 4 or
5 miles aud down the stream. more
or less the same distance.
While the old historic Kanawha,
one of the Ohio's largest feeders,
presents valley rich in soil and
farming lands and a more beauti-
full stream. navig bile as it now lie,
with it's locks and dams, is not to
be found in the country.
AS We have stated above, why
not put our shoulders to the wheel
and make this historic spot re-
corded in our state history as we'll
as in the history of our union, the
most inviting one to be found in
this section?

Prost1tutlon OF cine STAGE.

Reformers and even those with
less Imagination and more genuine
purposes in life from time immem-

Frank James, Cole Younger and
other badits and murderers are
touring the country-one of them
having given an exhibition in
Wheeling-in theatrical perform-
ances in which they are exhibited
as heroes. These attractions are
largely attended by the many with
maudlin tastes.
It does not seem right that the
stage should be turned over to such
law. breakers in order that they
may exploit their former misdeeds.
Many shows of this character are
touring the country. In some the
characters described do not take
part, but their places are taken by
"actors" who assume their names
and perform the same deeds on the
stage. They hold up innocent par
ties in the play, wreck trains, pill.
lage mail and express cars, compel
passengers to surrender their mon-
ey and valuables, fight sheriffs and
officers, kill many and commit all
manner of evil deeds. The audi
ence applauds the success of the
bandits and appear to be pleased
when the officers are slain.
The stage should not be prosti-
tuted to such iniquitous presenta-
tions. 1t serves to make criminals
more numerous.-Wheeling News.

a Sad BLOW to Ten Mem.

Rev. Sam Jones on one occasion
delivered his sermon called "Wives
and Husbands" before an immense
gathering in Birmingham. Ala. He
dwelt particularly on the beauty
and utility of mutual forbearance
between husbands and wives. and
then as though desirous of show
ing the rarity of that quality said:
eff there is a woman in this vast
gathering who has never said an
unkind word to her husband, she
will please stand up"
A woman arose as though she
had bsen challenged, and Jones,
beokoning her with both arms,
called out:
"Come here. sisterl Come right
up here to the PLATFORM
The woman did as hidden, and
when she reached the preachers
side was presented to the throng
as the most beautiful woman in
Birmingham" Jones, continued
his address, asked any man who
had never spoken an unkind word
to his wife to make himself known.
Promptly arose ten big, strapping
self-conscious chaps. who started
for the platform without bidding,
and with an air that suggested the
anticipation of praise from the
preacher, who, as they neared him.
said:
"That's right. my men! Come
right up; want everybody here
to gaze on ten of the most hope
less liars in the United States."-
