The MESSAGE editor aud ia mily
enjoyed the day on Bean Creek
last Sunday, attending the GiIca d
Baptist Church dedication service.
A large hearted people out that
way aud all were made to enjoy
themselves. The sermon by Rev
Armstrong, one of MexicO's for,
mer pastors, was a great treat and
the whole service was most enjoy
able. The last dollar of indebte d.
ness against the beautiful churc Il
house was raised, and of course il
makes the little band of faithful
workers at that place happy,
and, too, the whole community re-
jOices with them. As DR.. Arm
strong said, better for any com
munity to build churches aud
school houses than jails. The good
ladies' put up a dinner-never saw
so many good things to eat spread
out on one table. The largest
gathering Of people ever before as
seinbled ID that midst, every body
got plenty TO ear and there we're
basketfuls left We shall noi soon
forget the day Long live The
good people Of Bean Creek aud
adjoining LeigLb0rhoOds.

TEAM
AGAINST CENTURY
(BY Lon Cara

One of the greatest ball games to
be seen in this vicinity will take
place tomorrow on the Wilsonbur2
diamond, when the Francis Mineral
Water team meets Century.
Jim Ward is the manager of the
Century team and has left nothing
undone to make this great game.
Fourteen years ago he was the
originator of baseball at Wilsonburg
and at that time common coal
miner Now he is general superin-
tendent of both coal plants at Cen
fury and has provided Century with
a ball ground second to none in the
state.
A special train of four coaches
will bring four hundred loyal root
ers to Wilsonburg. The rooters will
also be accompanied by a brass
band. The train will arrive at
10 80 A. NJ. and then they proceed
to WiIsonburg, where it will wait
until after the game. The Strother
band, of Wilsonburg, will also turn
out for the occasion. F. M. w.
played Century several weeks ago at
Century defeating the latter by the
score of to 2. Manager Francis
has spared no expense to put the
Wilsonburg diamond in tip-top con-
dition. A canvass wall has been
erected around the field and seats.
having capacity to seat six humid
red have been erected. The admis-
sion to the grounds will be twenty
five cents. Manager Francis is
surely due the support of the sport
loving element of Clarksburg for
his efforts in trying to give this
city some real good baseball.
The F. NJ. w. team will Probab-
" line up as follows: Wickenhofer.
C.. Keener, p; Koontz, ID; Kyle.
Oh: sharps, S.; sackett, 8b; Mall.
orv. rf: Fowler, CT; and Moran, OF
the Collegians, left field. Jones
and Polling will be the battery for
Century.

EXPLANATION
ABOUT BUILDING

Editors Telegram =
Mayor Shields has stated to both
the owner and manager of the build
ing referred to in your police court
report of last Wednesday, in the
presence of both of us, that he was
not correctly quoted in that report
as specially censuring those who CON
troll that building as to laxity in Its
management in respect to renters,
etc. but his remarks applied to all
office buildings and hotels in the
CITY where immoral practices might
be unearthed, and he promised to
have a correction appear in your
paper, but we have seen none such
up to this writing.
The owner and manager desire to
saw, further. that they exercise great
care in renting rooms, and that the
building is watched by them day
and night to keep it clean and cred
table. physically and morally. In
both this case and the previous in
stance of immortality referred to, the
evidence was obtained by great vigil
lance upon our part and all the ar
rests were made at our instance, the
police being looked up and brought
into the building for the purpose.
In the first instance both parties
were outsiders and not entitled to
any privileges in the building, the
woman living on Mechanic street
and the man on Pike street. In
the last case a man and woman rep
resenting themselves as husband and
wife and presenting what seemed
plausible evidence of the same, rent
ed room in the building and it was
only by diligence on the part of the
manager that evidence to the con-
trary was obtained and the arrests
followed within a few minutes at Il
late hour of the night
1t is probable that such practices
are of daily occurrence in various
buildings of the city, but our vigil
ance in this building has resulted in
drawing undue attention to this one
building and that the differences de
ducible from the report referred to
places us III an unfair light.
But regardless of such injustice.
it is our determination to continue
to keep a ceaseless watch of the
building and all that pertains to its
welfare even if it requires frequent
arrests and much unfortunate pub
licity.
We trust that. in the interest Of
justice and fair play, YOU will per-
NIT us to make this explanation
through the columns Of your paper

METHODIST HYMNAL.
Only Half Of the Old Hymns
Retained In the New
Edition.

People of the Methodist faith will
regret to lear that the old Method
list hymn book that for nearly
thirty years has furnished the music
for the followers of John Wesley has
been put aside. A new hymn book
has been printed in its place, and
already the presses are running of
carloads of them to supply the de.
mand.
The new hymnal will be used by
both the Methodist Episcopal church
and the Methodist Episcopal church
South, and it is the hope of many
persons in both churches that the
use OF the common hymnal will build
up sentiment that will eventually
bring the two organizations togeth-
er under one head, as was the con-
dition before the civil war, when the
churches in the South seeded from
the mother body.
The new book was prepared by a
joint commission of both churches.
On this commission Professor C. M.
Stuart, head of the department of
divine rhetoric at North western
University, was one of the leading
members. The commission was an.
pointed in 1902, and for nearly two
years the work of preparing the
nymnal was under consideration.
Where the old hymnal had LILY
hymns, besides doxologies and
'hants, the new book has only III
'ymns, reduction OF more than
ne-third. These figures, however,
o not show how many OF the old
ymns were taken out, for while
here are 400 less hymns in the pres
Mt vol ume there are too.
20 new hymns that
ere not in the old volume. This
