NEW ENTERPRISE.
$50, 600 Monongahela River Stone
Company Organized.
VIII Build Factory at Randall-C. l.
Edmund the Principal Stakeholder
Much Local Capital interested.

A new stone company has just
been organized at Morgantown for
the manufacture of artificial build
ing stone. 1t is capitalized at $780,
600, and will begin work right away.
Mr.. G.. L. Edmund of Clarksburg
is the promoter and principal stock
holder in the enterprise He is also
the inventor or diseoverer of the
process of manufacture. Sand and
the best Portland cement are the
principal ingredients of manufac-
ture,
The factory will he located at
Randall on the Monongahela river,
and the B. & o. Railroad. 1t will
start with six or eight hands, and
the number will be increased to 20
or 80 as the business grows.
Mr.. Edmund states that the de-
mand for artificial stone and cement
goods of all kinds is constantly in
creasing all over the country. By
recent discoveries in the process of
manufacture, it is made so near like
natural stone in appearance that it
is growing IN favor of builders all
the time, and taking the place ofthe
natural product. Its durability has
long been known to be equal to a
high quality stone, and the cost is
much less.
Mr.. Edmund is the sole owner of
the secret process of manufacture,
which he values at $4,000. This will
be transferred to the Monongahela
River Company. He owns small
factory at Clarksburg nov, and finds
the business very profitable. The
new public school building and the
residence of Mr.. /. G. Lazzelle in
South Park were built by Mr. Ed
mund

pany are c. l.. Edmund, S. NJ. Prince,

When "Is"; When Are, ,.
New York Commercial.

New York Commercial.
 Writers have noticed the growing in cllnati0n to drop the plural verb when ever possible with such subjects as com mittee," John Smith x O." and so on. and use only the singular verb. Lovers or correct usage are often puzzled as to which is correct, and in the big news paper offices varying styles are de- manded, the singular prevailing.
 That those authorities on English, the instructors of youth in the universities, might contribute to the direction of those deSirous of being correct inquiry was de- livcred tc, Harvard, Columbia and Johns Hopkins. Questions were put as follows:
 Please inform me whether this sen tence Is correct: J. P. Morgan x Co.,, is going to move April l.. Can J. P. Mor- When Is the singular verb to be used and when the plural verb?"
 Johns Hopkins University replied to the questions as follows:
 Both forms are correct. If you use J. P. Morgan Co., as equivalent to the firm doing business under the style of J. F. M. X Co., 1t Is singular noun.
 If you have in mind the several per- sons composing the firm, 1t is plural.
 Tn such a phrase as J. Smith & Co. is one of the strongest houses in the trade the singular would be positively indicated
 "on the other hand, J. Smith Go. are as honorable men as you can find anywhere should be plural"
 Harvard makes this reply: Whatever logic there may be in calling J. P. Nor gan and Company collective noun, good use-so far as l can judge-is wholly on the side of a plural verb for such a com bination. The question when to use a plural verb Is, with such a subject, deli cate. We may say The committee are of one mind,' when we think of the mem- bers individually as coming to the same conclusion; we may say. The committee is of the same opinion,' when we think of the committee is unit and nothing else. Similarly there are occasions for saying The United States are and oc- casiOns for saying the United States is.' Personally l do not object to a man say ing either The committee is of the opin- ion or The committee are of the opin- ion, if he is careful to make his pronouns consistent with his verbs"
 The instructor of English at Columbia University replies, Yes" to the ques- ton, 'Is the sentence, J. P. Morgan & Co Is going to move April l. correct?"
 To the question, When is the singular verb to be used and when the plural verb?" he replies:
 When the subject is. or is considered as, one person or thing or collective of persons or things; the plural verb could possibly also he used in this instance, but it would imply that the writer thought of the mmebers of J. P. Morgan & Co. as individuals" "

WILL WARN EUROPE.
Pcrtugal's Capital Must Yield to
 Mimic Blockade.

From Washington to Chicago Chronicle
 The plans for sending the powerful bat tleship squadron into European waters next May contemplate more impressive object lesson on the growing strength oi the United States navy than has been supposed. Behind the shield of a "prac- tice cruise" with the most friendly if1ten. tions 1t is proposed to demonstrate forci- war to the doors of any country in Europe. To prove this In emphatic style tho port of Lisbon, Portugal, is to be 'blockaded" at the end of the long tsip across the ocean.
 Portugal was selected for the unioue test because the impossibilty of the Uni ted States ever becoming involved in a war with that country is well recognised. Representations will be made that will prevent any Portuguese suspicious of an who will command the fleet, win enter tain the nobility and naval officers of Portugal in lavish style on his flagship and visitors will be welcomed on all the ships.
 The fleet will be grouped off Lisbon long enough to prove that United States war ships can cross the ocean and take suffi- cient coal along to assume offensive op- erations on an extensive scale. Europe has considered this impossible
 The fleet will consist of the Kearsarge, Admiral Barker's flagship: the Illinois, Indiana, Maine. Iowa, Massachusetts and possibly the second class battleship Tex as. the cruisers San Francisco and All bany and coliiers and supply ships.
 In the lee of the Azores the fighting ships will be coaled and provisioned So that they will reach Portugal in readiness For action. The fleet will proceed as though war was actually on. The cruis- CTS will scout in advance and the sup ply ships will be protected by the battle ships.
 While the operations are intended as A lesson to all Europe, 1t is known that the Navy Department is especially anx- ious to let the Kaiser see just what its ships can do. When Prince Henry WAS in Washington last year he asked Chief Constructor Bowles as to the relative ef- ttciency of German and American war ships.
 We build our ships to carry coal as well as to fight" replied Bowles. "They can cross the ocean. and some of them can return without recoaling Your ships cannot do that"
 The Kaiser has regarded this as some thing of boast. He is to be shown that 1t is not.
 Naval attaches of European countries are displaying great interest in the trans- Atlantic maneuvers and many of them have asked to be allowed to accompany the fleet. Their requests probably will be granted, as the Navy Department wants to make the case complete.
 The Department Is constantly working to increase the coal capacity of the war ships and extend their steaming radius.
 The Texas can steam only 2,900 miles, The kearsarge can steam more than 5000 miles without recoaling, which Is half as far again as the Iowa, Indiana and Mas sachusetts, while the latest addltion-the Mainc-carries 2,000 tons of coal, as com pared with the 1.ei5 tons of the Rear sarge.

du chance to sneeze while he Is going through his peculiar ablution practices in the Ganges he will make a kind of sign over his face, stop in his ritual and begin all over again.
 In ancient times the Romans holding the idea that sneezing between noon and midnight was a good omen, believed that between midnight and noon 1t was most unlucky, and If they should chance to sneeze while getting up in the morning they would at once get into bed again. There must be something in this, espe- cially on very cold mornings. but boys home for their holidays are not as a rule superstitious and 1t might be difficult for them to impress their parents with sav- ing belief in this happy superstation.
 The Germans say Good health!' be- cause they maintain, and not without req son, that sneeZing is warning of ap- preaching catarrh and also marks the moment when a charm, a wish or a sug gestion may drive it away. The Per sians go further in this idea; they say what practically amounts to Thank God!" because they consider that the sneeze has actually driven away some evil spirit that has attempted to get into a mans body to feed upon his sacred fires.
 The people of the Amazulu go even fur ther than this into superstition and ar~ rive at the stage of actual devil worship No doubt they would style it angel wor- called angels are supposed to lend them selves put that high-sounding name quite out of the question.

IS IT A M1sEoRruNEp

'It is a terrible misfortune to be born rich," declares President Elliott. We have noticed that such philosophy usually and have managed to hold their own. Not knowing how 1t would feel to be bern rich, or to be rich in any other way. they try to make the world believe that they are satisfied with their condition and have no patience with those who are more fortunate with regard to this worlds goods. It is probable that if President Elliott had been born in the millionaire class, he would not now entertain the views that he does.
 On the other hand. there is Andrew Carnegie, who says 1t is a sin to die rich. When the Savior said to the young man, -a'Go and sell that thou hast and give to the poor" we are told that the man went away sorrowful, for he had great Possessions" MT. Carnegie is noted for his benefactions, but certainly he can rid himself of all his wealth before death, if he chooses to do so, and bestOw 1t in a way that will do good. No ono will claim ltlhb JIG Ao OhnoA hIly OpiSdAOu tO BlN6 away all his possessions. unless he is willing to adopt literally the advice given by the Savior. but no one doubts that 1t depends altogether on himself whether he goes down to his grave with the burden of great wealth on his shoulders or re- neves himself of 1t and dies poor.
 But we do not agree with either Mir. Elliott or MT. Carnegie. Men have been born rich to whom riches proved a bless Ing and whose use of wealth has been blessing to others. On the other hand, if . man has made his wealth by honest methods, and has used that wealth for the betterment of others. there is no dis grace in the fact that he dies in posses sion of what many would look on as great riches. If he has made the world and his fellow creatures happier and has done his duty. he need have no regrets over the fact that he lays down the burdens and duties of life without having gotten rid of his wealth. The inheriting. get ting or leaving of riches Is not of itself a misfortune or a sin.

The Presidents Object.

Hartford (Conn.) Times
 Fresident Roosevelt's renomination Of the mulatto, Dr. Crum, as collector or the port of Charleston in opposition to the wishes of the white business men or the city, and also In opposition to the expressed judgment of a majority of the members of the Senate Committee on commerce. was to De expected, since It IS apparent that MT. Roosevelt Is pur- suing well considered plan in the nam Ing Of colored men in the South to con- spicuous Federal offices.
 Had the purpose been merely to rec ognize the right of colored men to hold Federai offices, a dozen places might nave been found for this Southern Re- publican which would not have excited the opposition caused by making him collector of the port of Charleston. We
 do the President no injustice in assuming that he has understood perfectly what ne was doing in this case. He means 10 nave the support of the colored dele gates in the next Republican National Convention. Nothing was certain to bring him this support as to make an appointment like that of Dr. Crum Whlch was sure to arouse the antagontsm Of the white men of the South The delay in ac- ton by the Senate, and the sending or Crum's name second time to that body, 1t is safe to assume, has not interfered with the Presidents original plan in the slightest. We hear now of the organiZa- ton of negro clubs and societies to pro- lfioSc tiie ana tleCtlOH Ol MI Roosevelt in 1904 name has already been found for them. They are to be called Roosevelt Invincibles' There will be from fifty to hundred negro delegates in the next National Republican ConVen- ton, and every one of them will be an enthusiastic supporter of the President. We think this Crum incident also tends to explain the Presidents anxiety to se- cure the election to the Senate of two strict party men, not unfaVorable to Ad- dicks, from Delaware. The President can undoubtedly depend on Messrs. Alice and Ball to vote to confirm Dr. Crum as col lector of Charleston. The Republican Party is considerably stronger in the Seh- ate this week than 1t was last week, and a determined effort will be made to se- cure Crun's confirmation. The chances are that it win be successful. as MT. Hanna is no less anxious to cater to the colored vote than is President Roose- welt.
 The whole affair Is to be labeled ''pol- itics." and personal politics. rather than party politics. MT. Roosevelt is leaY- ing no stone unturned to make sure of a nomination in 1904 Had he wished merely to help the colored men in the South he would never have sought to force the ap- pointment of colored collector of GUS toms in Charleston. The interests of the colored men in the South have been harmed far more than they have been helped by the Presidents course in this
 case. But he will get the votes of the black men in the convention and that is what he went after when he pirked out Crum for the Charleston colleetorship.
