As will be seen In another column,
the city council met last night very
properly granted right of way to
the Pure OIL company for a tele-
graph line through the city. The
Pure Oh company Is the indepen-
dent pipe line, with Its head quarters
In Philadelphia. 1t Is the corpora
ton which fought the Standard for
so many years. and finally sue
ceeded in laying a competing line
to the sea board. From that time
to the present. it has continually
and successfully broadened Its
sphere of operations, finally iuvad-
ing West Virginia fields. The main
line In this State comes straight
from Philadelphia, and Its terminus
now Is In the vicinity of Smith6eld
In Wetzel county. From there a
line Is being constructed to Woods
feld, from where branches will ex-

tend through the Monroe county
and other Ohio fields. This Is a
six inch line, and will cross the
river at Paden's Valley. The tele-
graph line follows the pipe line, and
Is constructed as the other Is laid.
The company desiring to locate an
Office in this portion of the West
Virginia field, naturally looked to
ward Sistersville as being the most
desirable point. The act on last
night practically assures the foca-
don of the Office in this city. At
first 1t will be used by the COM
pany for operating purposes, but
later will be increased into pur
chasing agency for this company.
The Review Is pleased with this
recognition OF Sistersville as the
center of this zelda fact which has
always been we'll recognized by the
operators In the Mountain State.

The entertainment given under

the Auditorium last night was a
success In every particular. The
house was we'll filled up the gross
receipts from sale of tickets being
$2o5.. which was a very large sale.
The play was staged and man
aged entirely by Mr.. Charles Cush-

saying 1t was the best ametuer
performance ever given at the Au-
ditorium. Mr.. Gushing Is not only a
professional himself, but as an In.

S R. Clawson, as a farmer had a
prominent part and he sustained it

brave when there was nothing to

In the World.

The king Of England has shown spe-
cial interest in the promotion Of re-
searches as to the causes and the treat
ment of cancer, and generous subscrip-
tons have been made for thorough in
vest1gstions and experiments. SAYS the
New York Tribune. Every step for

human suiferings from this mysterious
disease will be welcomed eagerly. Can
Ger, advanced tuberculosis, Iaprosy and
rheumatism n its worst forms still baf-
lie the skill Of the ablest doctors in
the world. 1t is of interest to note,
however, that Prof. Hutchinson, Of Eng
land. who has given many years of ex-
haustiye study to the origin and deyel~
opment OF leprosy, is now even more
positive than yer before in his con-
viction that the eating of fish which
has become putrid. or in least in part
spoiled. is a prolific agency in the in
OF the number Of lepers. He
sets forth arguments in support Of his
contention which are 80 plausible, at
least, that health officials all v c the
globe ought to be persuaded to adopt
the most rigorous measures to prevent
the sale and consumption of sea food
which is in the least degree tainted.

Not only in the actual playing of golf,
but in the etiquette Of the game, the
American players, or some Of them,
might well learn something from the
visiting Englishmen, says the Boston
Transcript. An observer of all the
games, and a participant in the practice
rounds, states that there was a marked
difference between the Americans and
the Englishmen in their bearing toward
the caddies. The Americans, especially
the college boys, were~impatient il the
caddie did not at once find the ball after
the drive. The Englisnmen did not
hurry or worry at ell. They almost in
variably said Thank you" when the
caddie did a service for which he was be-
ing paid. They consulted with the caddie
and usually accepted his judgment as Of
value, ever if it was sometimes in error.
And they did not run. One Of the caddies
was sent up the hill at Myopia to indicate
the direction of the hole. He started to
u up the hill with his heavy bag Of
clubs, after q sharp command from one
OF the college boys.
Don't run, my lad" called out the
Englishman for whom he was doing the
service, we've got ali the time that there
