TWO CENTS
FROM THE OUTSIDE
How Dean Wrightson's Work
Looks to from Distance.

Progress Remarkable students From
Eyerywhere-Th Thousand Dollar in
Decorations-0ne of best in America
Concerts for the Year.
The Musical Leader and Concert
Goer published in Chicago and
edited by Florence French, one OF
the best known musical journals in
the country has the following to say
about Dean Sydney Lloyd Wright
son and his work in connection
with the University school OF Music:
The progress that Sydney Lloyd
Wrightson has made in the south
eastern portion of the county in less
than year is certainly remarkable.
In the state of West Virginia he has
with indomitable energy become
known in all parts of the state. Not
only in West Virginia but in other
states Mr.. Wrightson has succeeded
in making the West Virginia I'm
iversity music department known.
This is apparent when students from
Maine, Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
District of Columbia, Pennsylvania.
Virginia, Maryland, and others, are
this year enrolling themselves as
students in the school of music of
which Mr. Wrightson is dean.
During the past year he has, it is
said, made his department the lead
ing one of the university, having
more students enrolled than any
other He has made the School OF
Music pay, with salary list treble
as large as ever before, and has say
ed enough out of the fund TO be able
to expend over one thousand dollars
in decorations during the summer
This summer he has started a sum
mer course, engaging John Porter
Lawrence and Anton Kaspar of
Washington as teachers, and there
has been large attendance. Mr..
Wrightson has just engaged Rudolf
Wertime of Boston as the senior
piano teacher and Miss susan Moore
of Dennison University as an assist,
ant. The school promises to be one
of the leading institutions of its
kind in America. Very large audi.
ences attend faculty concerts, of
which there have been several in
Morgantown.
This year VIM Sherwood and
Anton Kaspar have been engaged
for the first faculty concert and at
the Second EMrs. Jenny Osborn
Hannah and Frank Hannah of Chic
ago and Mary Louise Clary of New
York have been engaged as soloists
for the oratorio of 'St. Pau" which
Mr.. Wrightson will conduct, and
which his choral society of $50 voices
will give. His third concert caps
the climax, as he is negotiating to
get Richard Strauss and his wife,
the latter to give song recital.

WATER OFF.
South Park People Have a
Genuine Thirst.
Baths are at Premium in That Sec
tion of T0wn-Rem0va of Pump
Caused the Lack of Mater-Will
Soon be Remedied Drinking Feun-
tain Out of Business.

A pretty general and vigorous
kick has been made by the people of
South Park Hill for the past few
DAYS, on account of their water sup
ply being cut off.
Many people have been carrying
water for long distances and are
getting very tired of the exercise.
The supply Of water being cut of
just when the hottest weather of the
summer is upon us and streams and
springs drying up makes the hard
ship more irritating to the thirsty
ones.
Most of the trouble is with the
people supplied from the small tank
on top of the South Park hill The
hydrant and the drinking trough for
horses at the court house have also
been scantily supplied and today,
the fountain was nearly dried up.
Inquiry was made at the Gas and
Water Companv's office, as to the
cause of the trouble. Mr.. Grant said
that the Utility Company is chang
ing the location of the pump that
supplies the South Park wooden
tank. The pump is torn UP, and is
being removed to q new place. An
attempt was made to supply this
tank with water, by the use of two
smaller pumps but this seemed not
to have proven successful. He said
the changes would be completed,
and they hoped to have the pump in
working order again in few hours
perhaps today.
The lack of a sufficient supply OF
water at the court house is not ex-
planned by the tearing up of the
pump at the water station, but is
supposed to be caused by some OBJ
struction in the pipe that supplies
these hydrants.
Some of the South Park people
have been much aggrieyed that nj
notice was given them that the water
would be turned Off so they could
make preparation for the interval.
There being no warning, water bell
ers were liable to burn out before il
was discovered that they we're dry
Eand closets and bath rooms were
affected by the absence of water be
fore it was known the supply was
cut off.
Probably by tomorrow supply
of water will again be turned into
the pipes leading to the South Park
Reservoir.

Roosevelt Accepts Invitation to
Be Present at Unveil-
ing Of Monument.
KOHLSAAT CALLS ON PRESIDENT
Gays Visit Has No Public Significance.
Does Not Desire Public office-Dis-
cussed Financial Legislation With
Chief Magistrate.

Oyster Bay, Aug Ex-Governor Muir
ply, of New Jersey. and Senator's
Kean and Dryden, of the same state,
visited President Roosevelt at Saga.
more Hill On behalf of the people OF
New Jersey Governor Murphy and the
senators invited the president to at
tend the ceremonies incident to the
unwilling of the monument erected on
the battlefield of Antietam in memory
Of the New Jersey soldiers who fell in
that historic engagement. The cere-
monies are to take place on Sept. IL,
the fortieth anniversary of the battle.
After some consideration the presi-
cent accepted the invitation and
agreed to make an address at the I'M
yelling. Arrangements for the event
have not been completed yet, but It
promises to be one of the most notable
occasions of the kind in recent years,
KohIsaat a Guest.
H. H. Kohlsaat, of Chicago, was a
guest of the president and Mrs. Roose-
welt at luncheon. AS the visit was
Mr.. Kohlsaat's third to Sycamore Hill
In two months, the announcement or
his coming created some comment.
Upon his arrival he assured the news
paper men that his call was OF no
public significance. After his confer
ence with the president Mr.. Kohlsaat
said in response to direct inquiry
that his call had nothing whatever to
do with any contemplated change in
the cabinet.
ut has been rumored," said Mr..
Kohlsaat, that I might be appointed
postmaster general, but there is abso-
lutely nothing in that story. The
president contemplates no change in
that office. In fact, he desires that his
cabinet should remain intact at least
until the close of the present admin
istration Personally, I do not desire
public office and the president has no
office in his gift which l would &C
cept."
West Is Wonderfully Prosperous.
Mr. Kohlsaat did discuss with the
president the subject of financial leg
islation. For several weeks he has
been gathering information for the
president bearing upon the subject
His researches have been in both the
east and in the west and the net re-
suits he has laid before the president
81 think some legislation of q
remedial character may be enacted at
the approaching session of congress
he said, but there is wide diverg
ence of opinion among authorities as
to what if anything ought to be done
The demand for financial legislation
comes principally from the east, but
even here financiers are not in accord
In the west our people are not think
ing much about the matter. The west
is wonderfully prosperous and all OF
our banks have so mitch money they
are discounting eastern commercial
paper every day. The best judgment
is that whatever financial legislation is
undertaken should be purely remedial
and very brief, covering perhaps not
more than 25 lines"

Too Hot For Council.

There was no council meeting last
night on account of the oppressivelY
hot weather. The few members who
gathered on time would not wait for a
quorum to gather. On hot night
the council chamber is more like a
brick kiln than a refrigerator. When
there is no excitement, and when ordf-
nance discussion arises, it would take
stronger comparisons to desert be the
heat.
Not a great deal OF business was on
the docket last night, and none Of it
was very pressing During the hot
season Of previous years council held
only bi-weekly meetings.

Restaurant Strike a Failure.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-The attempt Of
the officials of the hotel and restaurant
employees union to tie up the Chicago
restaurants proved a failure, not a
single establishment having been COM
PEELED to close for lack of help. Out
of the 5000 members of the different
unions ordered on strike not over 10
per cent responded to the summons,
and the places of those who did quit
work were quickly filled with non
union employees The indications are
that the strike will be Of short dura-
ton and will end disastrously to the
unions

RATE CUTTING.
Going on Among Hack Drivers From
MasOntOwn to KingwOod.

A rate cutting competition has been
on for some time between the back
drivers from Masontown to Kingwood,
Heretofore there was one hack line
only, and the fares were 800 one way
or $3.50 for the round trip. A second
proprietor has put hack into service
on the route, and enstead of the two
firms combining as perrallell railroads
do to prevent rate cutting, eacn otner
is trying to get all the traffic, AS a
result Of the rivalry, fares have been
reduced by one Of the haekmen to so
cents one way, or 500 for the round
trip. AS the distance is only miles
this rate is more than 5cts per mile.
