WINDOW, visible to every woman on a hunt for bar
gains Over the heap of dollar bills this tempting
legend was placed: ,"Come in and get a dollar bill
1or ninety cents" And they did go in and so many
others waited lmpatiently and struggled with the
men outside to obtain entrance, that it was found
necessary to employ big policeman to preserve
order' There was time when Butte would not
cross muddy street to save a dollar When we

as sign of the blight the appearance of copper
pennies would bring to the great camp.

The Catholic Universe of Cleveland insists that
the debt of the United States 10 the Catholic church
for educating its children out Of its own funds
does not by any means cancel even the financial
Obligations of the state 10 the church. Thus it is
interesting to learn that in the city of New York
alone the home bureau Of the st. Vincent de Paul
society established six years ago has so far placed
937 abandoned children in homes at an outlay of
s31.S34.75. The secretary of the bureau estimates
that this has already saved the city nearly half
million dollars.

The CreduIous Protestant.

A correspondent of the Catholic Universe, Clevs-
land, writing from Washington, D. c., furnishes
this information:
"Some few years ago, when all kinds of charges
and especially of immorality-were made against
the Philippine friars, Protestants held up their
hands in holy horror and with solemn shake of
the head, much as to say: What else could you
expect? 1t was hardly to be supposed, however,
that Protestants of intelligence would entertain
these charges as applying to the friars generally

CARD FROM BISHOP scANLAN.

feel ii my duty to protect Catholics and the pub
lie generally from fraud and imposition by notifying
them from time to time that person bearing the
name and garb of priest or sister or anyone else,

From the True Voice of Omaha we note that
another department of the rapidly developing
Creighton university auspiciously inaugurated
last Monday in the formal opening of the new law
school. Nothing needs now be said of the manner
il which the department of arts and the medical
college have carved their way to the front rank of
the higher educational Institutions The brilliant
success of these departments has accentuated the
demand for the law department. The energy of
Father Bowling and the munifcence of Mr. John
A. Creighton are never appealed to in vain.

The Ladies of the Maccabees
of this city, held their first me-
mortal services Sunday afternoon
at the Auditorium theater at 2 80

State Bank-Incorporated 1892.

AS a precautionary measure
against a possible epidemic of
smallpox, l earnestly request that
all the people of Sistersville be
vaccinated at their earliest op-
portunity, and that this way of
prevention be promptly taken by
the residents of neighboring towns
which were represented at the
carnival here last week. A young
man named Benedum, from Wet
eel county, was taken in custody
here Saturday evening after havr
ing, through ignorance or crimi-
nal negligence, mixed with the
carnival crowds for two days
while suffering from the disease
in an advanced stage. The pa
tient was Immediately quaran-
tined, and every preeaution is be-
ing taken by City Physician Dye
and the Board of Health Of Coun-
ell against the spread of the dis
ease.

The black cloud of the hOodoo
has dropped down over the Park
ersburg baseball team, which has
been hired by the Sistersville Ath-
letic association, like pail, and
the players seem to be expert
encing some ailment on the order
of nervous prostration.
Saturday, again the Midgets
gave game to Marietta, the third
in succession, and they were
whitewashed. Seven men on the
Ohio team scored, and not a sin
gle West Virginia man crossed
the fourth corner in the nine in
nings of play.
The Parkersburg boys were up
against hard luck and team that
clearly outclassed them. And the
local fans who saw the games
were as much disappointed over
the bitter defeat of the West Vir-
ginians as the Parkersburg root
ers would have been had they
seen the game played. ;

The Robinson. Amusement COM
pany closed a weeks engagement
here Saturday night. The COM
pany divided when it left this
city, some of the shows going to
Maysville, KY, and some to Allie
cheney City, Pa. Owing to the
Indictment weather during the ear
| lier part Of the week the COM
pany exhibited here the entertain
ment was not very literally pat
ronized. However, the latter OF
the week proved more favorable
with reference to the weather and
Friday and Saturday the attend
ance was all that could be desired.
Especially was this true of Sat-
urday, as on that day the atmos-
phere was clear and the sun
shone in all it's brilliancy, making
it an ideal day for the occasion.
On Saturday afternoon and even
ing the streets were thronged,
and the shows were crowded con-
stantly. The managers and show
people were by far the most or
derly and genteel of any similar
| entertainment that had ever
visited Sistersyille. Everybody
that attended the shows were
treated with all possible courtesy,
and the attractions were of a

the goods, allowing only six safe
ties, most of which came in the
early part of the game. When he
got warmed up he was an enigma
and the Midgets failed to connect
with his twisters. In the first in
ming it looked like Parkersburg
would score at least two men.
Bero was on third and Farson at
second, but Bero. tried to get
home and was killed, retiring the
side.

CLOSE OF CARNIVAL

Eacter. The large crowd that came
Ito the city Saturday afternoon and
Eevening to witness the sights of
THE carnival were also very order
|ly and all gave evidence that they
enjoyed the attractions to the
very utmost degree. Nothing
Itranspired throughout the entire
week of the entertainment to mar
the pleasures of a single individ-
ual, which is an unusual occur
renee at carnivals. There were
few intoxicated persons seen up
on the streets at any time during
the entire week, and the order
was remarkably good.
The entertainment was given
under the auspices of the military
company of this city, and when
everything is taken into consider
alton the company will realize a
very snug sum from the affair.
Just what the amount will be can
not be stated at this writing.
The high diver met with slight
accident Saturday afternoon while
making his daring leap. The
wind, which was quite strong at
the time he jumped from the lad
der caused him to strike against
the side of the tank. Fortunately
however, he was not seriously in
jured, and will not be laid up but
few days.
