to this paper by Mr.. Baker:
TO the Editor of the NEW DOMINION.
Insert the foregoing advertisement

tions, aud wish you would also, as
an editorial call attention to the fact
that the officers OF the corporation are
going to epxend large amounts of
money during the year in building
new fences and constructing nice
cottage on the grounds, paving the
drive-waya and running water and gas
on the grounds and otherwise improv-
ing the same, and that lots are now
selling for $3.50, where they formerly
sold-for half the money, and that it is
time for all parties who have purehas-
ed lots TO make report Of The purchase

TWO CENTS
SEVERAL STRIKES.
Morgantown Workmen Quit
Work for Various Reasons.

Seneca Glass Factory Tied up Over
Discharge Of a Cutter Factory
People have Nothing to Say-taiass
Worker Official here to Try to Set
tie strike Painters and Timers
Strike.
A strike has been on at the Sem
eca Glass factory for day or so.
1t grew out OF trouble over ware in
the cutting shop. Here the men
have jobs which pay them various
prices and they have been in the
habit of taking turn about on cut
ting it. Some friction arose about
this and man was discharged He
refused TO accept this and the man
agement would not re-instate him.
In consequence the whole force of
cutters'and blowers were called out.
Word was sent to headquarters
and Milton Donley of Wheeling
who represents the official board of
the union OF glass workers came
here on Tuesday afternoon to see
what could be done TO fix the mat
ter up and get the men back in their
places on a basis satisfactory to
them
Many of the glass workers are
contemplating leaving town. A
representative Of the Rochester, Pa.
branch of the American Glass com
pany has been here and has offered
places to fifty men. Several left
today to have look at the places
and il they like them there will be
general exodus of glass workers to
that city.
1t is stated that it is the intention
Of the Seneca 10 shut down the cut
ting sl for good. They are Said
to be rlensiv cleaning up. the ware
and as soon as they work up what
they have they will let this branch
of th, tsade lapse.
Inquiry at the Seneca factory
Gillette sery little information. The
factory people had nothing to say.
They stated that no efforts at com
promise had been made to them and
that they knew nothing to be done
They refused to discuss the reason
for the existing shut down Of the
factory.
The painters Of town have insti-
tuted a strike against the Master
Painters who have refused to sign
the scale. The men want thirty
cents an hour day. The Master
painters have refused this.
Five independent contractors have
signed che scale. They are T., +.
Wells, L. W. Morgan, S. d. Siddons,
James Sprouse, and the First Ward
Planning Mill Company. Their .men
are at work but the men working
for the Master painters have omit.
About twenty men are involved.
The scale INVOLVING the timers
andslaters went into effect today. All
the contractors in town have signed
the scale except G. r. Huston and
three members of the union who
worked for him have walked out of
the shop.
1t is expected to have both the
painters and the roofeis in line be-
lore very long and the troubles ar
ranged so that no more time than
necessary shall be lost.

ORIGIN OF DAY.
Some Very Curious Information
About All Fools DAY.

a
People Have Many Explanations Some
of Which Sound Rather far Fecthed
for Universal Observance of First OF
April as the Patron Day for Fools
Some of the Explanations Offered.
What was the origin of All Fools
Day?
Authorities differ and no one can
say positively The beginning OF
the day is hid in the mist and dust
of antiquity.
There is tie authority who refers
you back to the Romans and would
have you believe that in character
If not in point of time. All Fools Day
corresponds with the Roman Satur-
malta. when Calus and Manlius and
the rest oil the us's bent their classic
wits to the task of tooling one
another.
Another authority brings forward
a different Roman theory and says
the All before Fools day is cor
ruption of auld or old, thereby
making it Old Fools Day, and goes
back to an ancient Roman calendar,
which, referring to the LIST of Novem-
Der, states.
"rhe feast of old fools is removed
to this day"
Not a bit of il" says the man
who has been to India, and forth
with proceeds to unroll his theory
as to the origin Of this singular kind
of an anniversary, finding the nearest
and most startling analogy not only
in kind, but almost in actual date,
IN the ancient feast of Hull in Hin
doostan. The last day of this feast
is March 81, when the chief diver
sion it to send people on errands
and expeditions that are to end in
disappointment for the latter and
merriment for those sending them.
Not to be outdone in finding an
ancient prototype tor the day, there
is the Spectator who goes back to
Noah and the Ark. The April Fool
custom says the London Public Ad
vertiser of March ID, 1909. "arose
from the mistake of Noah sending
the dove out of the ark before the
water had abated on.the first day of
the month among the Hebrews
which answers to our lst OF April,
and to perpetrate the memory of
this deliverance it was thought
proper, whoever forgot go remarka
bic circumstance, to punish them
by sending them upon some sleeve
less errand similar to that lnetfect-
uaI message upon which the bird
was sent by the patriarch. "
All sorts Of conjectures have been
advanced to account for the day, but
the generally, although by no means
unanimously, accepted theory is that
which assigns the origin Of the GUS
tom to France. Marcn IS used to be
New Years Day. France took the
lead 10 commencing the new year on
January ! instead Of March 25. Be-
fore the change was made the festivi-
ties of the season eliminated on the
octave of the feast, April /, when WIS.,
its were paid and gifts bestowed With
the adoption of the reformed calendar
in 1864 New Years Day was carried
back to January l, and only pretended
gifts and mock ceremonial visits were
made on April l, with the intention
of making fools of those who had for
gotten the change of date. The Gus
tom once started was kept up after its
origin had been forgotten.
