pointment of a marshal until the trees
could be planted. assumed personal
direction of the work.
The trees we're received and on last
Saturday the work of planting began
Shortly afternoon the anti-tree alder
men marched in a body to Seventh
street where the men were at work
and notified them that they would get
no pay from the town for their work
The men quit work and started up
town but were met by the mayor who,
after personally guaranteeing their
pay, set them to work again.
All day Monday there was talk of
an injunction being served. but, mean
while, the mayor had crew
of from Is to 80 men at work
and by Tuesday noon the bulk
of the trees had been set and
were being irrigated. All through the
fracas Mayor Romney enjoyed the
hearty support and cooperation of
Mayor-Elect McMurry, who is con-

him while carrying on the work.
The cost of the trees was $4985 and
the wages of the men who dug the
trees and planted them and plowed the
bitches will amount to about $11O, MAX
ing q total of $15o.85. Of this amount
$50 was worked out in poll tax. leaving
a balance of about 500 to be paid out
of the city treasury. At the present
time there is credit balance of $1o4
in the street and alley fund and be-
tween $500 and $500 in poll tax is due
and available:
The long-cherished plan of per-
fecting an irrigation system and hav-
ing running water along the streets,of
necessity, had to be abandoned on ac-
count of the expense, but it will
probably come in time. Ia the long
run it would prove more economical
and satisfactory system. For the pres
ent the trees will be watered from the
city fire plugs. In the water company's
franchise it is stipulated that the town
shall receive all the water needed for
hre and other purposes and for which
$500 per year is paid and has been paid
for meager service during the past ten
years.
The great majority of the people of
Hamilton express themselves as being
immensely pleased that this splendid
Improvement has been started nicely.
They feel that it is a step in the right
direction and may lead to other i'm

interior of Wetzel county few
days ago for unlawful cohabita-

with the matter are rather inter

1t appears that William Sa-

was the subject Of Miss Sara Ag-
news paper, given with precision
and showing evidence of careful
preparation of her part. Miss Ag-
new took her listeners with the
delegates to the great Sunday
school convention in Jerusalem,
stopping with them as they stop
ped to visit some old ruin or
place of historic interest, resting
with them, as they rested in the
peaceful Mediterranean, and
dwelling with them as they dwelt
in that famous Biblical city, Je-
rusalem. Next she took them to
st. Louis, where the Democratic
and Republican conventions will
convene, then to San Francisco,
the city of the Golden Gate, where
for the twenty-ninth time the gal
liant Sir Knights and their ladies
will come together in conclave,
then back again to Boston, to be
with the old soldiers in their G. a.
R. encampment, and lastly to the
great exposition in st. Louis. Miss
Agnew is certainly to be congrat-
ulated upon the successful way
in which she treated her subject
and the reward she commanded
from an appreciative audience.
Adjournment for two weeks
then followed.

The regular semi-monthly meet
ing Of the Woman's Literary club
was held yesterday afternoon in
the City building, and proved one
of the most interesting, as well as
instructive, that this recent or
ganization has yet enjoyed.
After a short business session
the delegates, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs.
Bowden, Mrs. Anderson and Miss
|Bitans, who attended the first con-
vention of wOman's clubs in West
Virginia, at Wheeling, reported
that the Sistersville Literary Club
now belongs to the State FEEDER
alton, and gave an instructive rep
| ition of the various lectures and
dicussions that took place.
The program proper for the
afternoon opened by roll-call re-
sponded to by quotations from
President Roosevelt, followed by a
paper on James Russell Lowell
and his contemporaries, present
ed by Mrs. Sutherland. The char
acters and histories of these i'll

Gus poets were splendidly set
forth and the paper was well de-
livered and thoroughly apprecia-

The Parish Priest. "
sISTERSVILLE, W. VA.
tate Rank-Incorporated 1892.

"The Parish Priest" with the
strongest company yet engaged in
its production, comes to the Aud
itorium theater on Saturday even
ing. This beautiful play is des-
tined for many years Of life. 1t
seems strange that a play with a
title so peculiar glides through
three acts without even bordering
on religion, but this drama does.
Father Whalen is the man rather
than the clergyman, and han
dies his wit, wisdom and philoso-
ply as would man Of the world.
He talks to his people rather than
at them, and uses quiet methods
to accomplish his aims, which are
to bring together two warning
couples. The fact that the same
people 90 night after night to see
this play is an evidence Of the fas-
cinatiOn and charm. 1t is distinct
ly American, as the scene is laid
in Pennsylvania. and the charac-
ters taken from life in the beau
tiful valley Of Wyoming. The au-
thor has employed new methods
in the building of his play, and
succeeds in obtaining results
without the strain so apparent in
even great plays. The plot is
simple, yet the interest is sustain
ed by a chain of incidents which
are natural, powerful and anus
ing. There is sentiment in abun-
dance punctuated here and there
with laughter honestly created.
No comedy scene Of recent years
has produced laughter as genuine
as the scenes in which Jim Welsh
and Katherine Corrigan figure.
The Irish girl with her dash and
vivacity contrasts amusingly with
the modesty and slowness Of Big
Jim, who is inexperienced in love,
and yet in his blunt way makes
himself understood.

! SALOONS

is doing business with his own
money. He has less to lose and he
has powerful backing in money
and legal talent if he gets into
trouble.
We do not know if such a law
would be constitutional o, not,
but measure forbidding brewer
les to advance money for leases,
fixtures, or stock in saloons would
knock out perhaps one third or
even more Of the saloons III this
State. This Of itself is desirable
end. The fewer saloons the fewer
temptations to the foolish, to
spend their money, the fewer
places to watch and the easier
therefore to watch them. Compe-
tition in the saloon business would
be less fierce than it is now. The
saloon-keepers would find it un-
necessary to offer dangerous in
ducements to draw trade and to
keep it.
Preventing the brewers and
wholesalers from invading the ro-
tail field would do wonders to-
ward keeping the worst part Of
the traffic within bounds. If
these establishments want to 90
into the retail trade of intOxi-
cants, let them do so only under
their own names and on their own
responsibility. There will be less
evasion of the law because less
evasion of responsibility. Let ev-
try saloon stand in its own name
and on it's own bottom.

One of the conditions of the u
quor traffic against which enlight-
ened public sentiment is certain
to very soon enter a forcible pro-
test is in reference to brewing
companies throughout the coup-
try backing the saloons. We refer
to no particular individual WHO
may be engaged in the saloon bus
mess, but, generally speaking it is
not an edifying spectacle to see
one or more breweries paying the
tax of scores of saloons
All he has to do is to give a
brewery satisfactory evidence
that he is man who will push
the sale of their product, and they
at once set him up in business.
This is wholly contrary to pub
lie policy, as it tends to demoral-
ize the traffic in liquors if such be
possible. A saloonist thus estab-
| lished in business has commonly
no real responsibilities. His prof
it-taking liabilities are much
hampered by his dependence upon
the single brewery which has
starts him up mad which charges
him roundly for it's favor and sup
port. He must often take greater
chances to make money and hence
countenances practises that are
too defiant Of moral sentiment or
too dangerous for the men who
have their own money invested in
the business to risk engaging.
The brewery agent always takes
longer chances than the man who

arrived at his home the pony laid
down and died, and all that re-

Courts No jurisdiction over Primaries.

Judges Lea and Winfield Of the
sixth judicial circuit, in deciding a
Perry county primary election case,
held that the courts have 10 jurisdic-

mine that there is no appeal from the
action of county central committee.

ty over John HUE and w. A. Harp,

asked for a writ of certiorari alleg-
ng that in cases Of that character the
courts had no jurisdiction. The
