FOR ARMY HOSPITAL.
War Department Considering Site on
Soldiers Home Grounds.

In view of the apparent indisposition of
Congress TO authorize the purchase of a
site for the proposed general army hospi-
tai, in this city, the officials of the War
Department are considering the advisable
ity and possibility of utilizing a portion of
the grounds of the Soldiers Home for
that purpose. There being some doubt as
TO the authority of the government to
make such use OF the Soldiers Home
grounds, Gen. Davis, judge advocate general
of the army. has been asked to consider the
legal questions involved. Should his opin-
Ion be favorable to the proposition Con-
gIess will be asked to provide a sum suf-
ncient for the erection of the proposed hos
pital there The army appropriation bill
reported to the House contained an ap-
preparation of 500. 600 for the purchase OF
a site and the erection of a building, but
IL was stricken out in the House on a
point of order. If the Soldiers Home site
is agreed upon il will only be necessary
for Congress to provide for the building,
which 1t is estimated, can be erected for
about S2JO. coo 100000.

Tomorrow evening. at 6 o'clock

to the daily sacrifices and the

were offered young bullock. a

is said: "Happy are the people

NEWS NOTES

The greatest puzzle for the tele-
graph editors of the Wheeling
newspapers just now is how much
stuff to print about the Eastern
war. All the papers are getting
full reports from the different
press associations but, as rule,
are getting out large part OF it.
Once in while, utter disgust
takes hold on the telegraph edi-
tor and he proceeds to cut out all
but short paragraph, consider
ing even that not worth the print
ing. 1t raises the question: Are the
people interested in the Eastern
war to the extent of demanding
all the details of the struggle OBJ
tainable! A little observation has
shown that they are. Let the tel
egraph editor cut down the war
stuff one day and on the very
next the complains will begin to
be heard. 1t is a fact that the
mass of the people read every
line of war news printed, no mat
ter how unsatisfactory, magma
tive, or contradictory it may be.
After a few futile attempts to sat-
isfy the people with the bare facts
of the progress of the struggle,
the telegraph editors have at last
come to the realization that the
people demand war news and
more war news, and have bowed
in meek obedience to this de-
mand.

be smile on anybody's face and
a joke is frowned down with alb

departing one will be pulled to

whether a couple dollars mightn't

is no hesitation about accepting
such a loan. and the times are
rare indeed when it is not repaid.
w. |. McCausland has returned
to Wheeling after many years abb
sence. Mr.. McCausland's father
helped build the suspension
bridge here, and recalls the incl
dents of it's opening "When the
first steel thread was stretched
across the Ohio river in 1850, the
people of Wheeling almost went
crazy" he says. "That evening
an immense heap of empty
boxes, tar barrels and kindling
wood was piled up and at night
fall was ignited. 1t certainly
made a great blaze. Dan Edging-
ton called the people to order at
ter the bonfire was over and
made a speech. He told the peo-
pie that one step more had been
taken for civilization in Wheeling,
and that henceforth, commerce,
like a released bird, would go
forth, in and out, and possess the
great West just beyond the Ohio
that George Rogers Clarke and
others had carved from the say
ages and their allies. y
The theatrical season has now
opened in Wheeling. Edward
Franzheim. manager of the Court,
said the other day that the lro-
ouois theater horror in Chicago
last winter would not affect the
season this year-that it had been
pretty well erased from memory
bv this time. 10th theaters IN
Wheeling have asb"ytos curtains,
however. Among the good things
that will be seen at the Court
this winter are Richard Mans
field and Maude Adams, probably
the most popular actor and act
ress in America today. The an
nouncement of the full bookings
and dates for the Court has not
vet been made.
Wheeling seems to be getting
the slot machine fever. All the
saloons and most OF the cigar
stands and restaurants as well,
have them, and they buz away
all day long. 1t brings up an IN
teresting comparison. In Cincln-
natl all the machines are for pen
MES. In Wheeling. on the other
hand, they are all for nickels.
WHAT the reason? 1t takes a lot
of money to play the nickel ma
chimes satisfactorily. Is there
more money in Wheeling than IN
Cincinnati! Or, on the other hand
and this seems to be the cor
rect reason-do the people OF
Wheeling not know how to take
care of their money?
In spite of the stringency IN
money said to exist in this coun-
try at present, the people OF
Wheeling have been travelling
this summer practically as much
as ever. Atlantic City has taken
a thousand or more, and all the
other resorts, not to mention the
World S fair. have been visited by
hundreds. 1t is noteworthy tact
that Atlantic City remains one OF
the most popular resorts IN the
country.
