STRIKE:

Serious trouble was threatened at
the plant Of the West Fork Glass Co.
at Industrial durig the past
several days, but everything is
sinoothed over now and things are
moving as rapidly as formerly. The
men had been working on one sort
of ware for along time and when
the management decided to change
to another the first of this. week
there was a protest from tie men
that resulted in every union man at
the works stopping work at mid
night Sunday.
The president of the union was
sent for from Cleveland and arrlv-
ed Tuesday. The union and the
company have agreements and con-
tracts and these were thought to have
been violated by the latter but the
president passed on the matter and
found that all was right. Conse-
quently the men returned to work
last midnight.

BOARD
OF TRADE
STARTS


What was supposed to be a big
meeting for the purpose of organic
ing a board of trade in Clarksburg
did not materialize Tuesday night
in the court house, but it was no
fault of the editor of the Telegram,
since he would have been glad to see
the house packed with enthusiasts,
and especially because of the fact
that for years his best efforts have
been devoted to industrial and com
mercial promotion without thought
of recompensc. Instead there were,
perhaps, fifty persons there, several
of whom were attracted by idle cur
iosity.
The meeting was called for eight
o'clock sharp, but for some reason
unknown it was bordering well onto
8 o'clock before ex-State Senator S.
F. Reed called the meeting to order,
upon request. He made a very earn
est, clever and instructive speech,
which was very well received, and
then N. B. McCarty was called to
the chair and Frank Dennison was
named as secretary. They were only
temporary officers.
After more or less plunging in
the dark a motion prevailed that a
committee of ten be appointed to
draft a constitution and bylaws.
The presiding officer was given
twenty-four hours, in which to ap-
point the committee and was in
structed to publish their names in
the newspapers.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet next Friday week.

BOLD
TOUCH
is MADE

The shades of the night hide a
good many wicked indulgences these
times and crime is becoming more
or less rampant. Much. of it never
gets revealed, but, when 1t does per-
chance come to light, it is usually
rich, rare and racey.
The latest and most sensational
along this line occurred Tuesday
night and was pulled off in closed
cab. Enjoying the hilarity Of tour
ing the city in cab with two fc-
male companions and another man,
Sam Proudfoot was the victim OF a
touch by the deft hand of his lady
friend, Emma Green, or, at least that
Is his sworn complaint to Justice
e. III. Gordon, who issued a war
rant at his instance against the
Green woman, charging her with
stealing Proudfoot's pocketbook,
containing fifty dollars in money
and two keys. Upon this. warrant
the woman was regularly arrested
and jailed to await hearing at
80 o'clock this evening before JUS
tice Gordon.
Their companions on the occasion
were b. i. Vincent and Edna Sny-
der. From Proudfoot's story it was
learned that he becames weary and
fell asleep in the cab as they were
driving, and, when he was released
from the arms of Morpheus, his wad
was gone. 1t is Thought the Green
woman applied her deyterity as the
cab passed over some shaded spot,
and thus avoided detection at the
time.

season comes the annual revival of
interest in outdoor athletic sports.
Baseball, tennis and the ike are al
ready in full sway and the exponents
Of these games are already arrang-
ing their plans for busy season.

ton to be inaugurated is known as

society has just been formed with a
small membership already enrolled,
but the prospects of a number of
"ioiners" in the near future. This
club, of which Mr.. Patricius Kig-
gins is the president, assemblies each
morning at 6 a. m. and take FIVE
mile spring across country before
breakfast. The object is to pro-
mote health and to enjoy compan-
ionship and society in a manner that
is unequalled, for the beneficial re-
suits that it brings to both mind and
body. A new route is selected each
morning for the club in order to
avoid monotony.
The colors of the club are green,
yellow and red, but each member
can suit his own taste in regard to
which one of the three he allows to
predominant. The heavy marching
gear includes a cap, sweater, Eng
lish walking boots, heavy cane,
pedometer, camera, field glasses,
collapsiblc drinking cup and a flask
of cold tea. After the walk the
club takes shower and needle both,
followed by a rub down, and a hear
ty breakfast.
A committee under the supervision
of President Higgins are complet-
ing a code Of rules for diet and other
training exercises. The charter
members who have taken the first
preliminary runs are filed with en-
thusiasm regarding the movement
and they expect after this week to
charge small initiation fee for
membership in order to have the
club on "A business working basis. !.

ORGAN RECITAL

The organ and song recital at the
Episcopal church Friday evening
promises to be an interesting event
for music lovers. Mr.. Gilbert, the
organist, is known to Clarksburg
people; as he played here last year.
His program is classic and includes
such well known favorites as Dubois
'March of the Magi Kings"
Miss Budd, who accompanies Mr..
Gilbert on his concert four, is a
highly cultivated soprano. Re
ferring to recital recently given in
Wheeling, the Intelligencer says
Miss Budd has fine soprano voice
of much power and brilliancy. Her
rendering of With yerdure Clad
was noteworthy for clear phrasing
and fine intonation. A beautiful
little bit was the Bach -Gounod Ave
Maria, faultlessly sung" Miss
Budd will include both of these in
her program here on Friday.
The recital, being given in the
ichurch, there will be no charge for
admission. All who viii come are
welcome. 1t is expected, however,
that an offering win be made to
sufficiently meet the expenses Of the
recital and to leave good margin
for the benefit of the choir Of Christ
church.

CHOP
SUEY
HOUSE.

Ever in the van of progress and
Industry Clarksburg Is to have i
new nterprise. This latest effort
to ensnare the wary dollar and eater
to the public demand for newness
and novelty will come as direct
surprise to many Of the residents Of
the fuel city. For quite a long time
persons with a cultivated palate who
reside within our confines but
who have at sandry times Travelled
to regions where the electric lights
ard not turned off az IL 80, have
felt an aching void, as it were, a
tickling Of the palate, that even home
cooking or the celebrated Clarks-
burg beer would not satisfy. 1t
was akin to the feeling that one
philosopher described as thus, ''an
itching that could not be scratched"
The cause of this unsatisied long
ing TO give it It's celestial or oriental
name was "chop sueyY WlAt Wis
ions did that magic name conjure to
the initiated of New York, Frisco,
Chicago, Pittsburg, or IN fact any
large city where the skill of the in
comparable almond eyed cook is APP
preciated. For bear it in mind, the
Chinese, although yulgarly called
"chinks" are no tyros at the culinary
art Of cooking. Probably some Of
olr elders will only remember the
Of ..the land Of the
dragon, as he was pictured in the
Biographies Of twenty years ago:
with a String of an animal upon his
back that is not considered de
yigeur in polite society. This same
animal by the way, has done greaf
deal to advertise the latest designs
in spring hosiery for years past, IN
To return to our muttons or
rather chop suey, this is a dish that
once discussed will always leave
pleasant memory. A number of Me
deyotees at the fire Of the CelestiM
chefs altar have, for The past SIX
received their portion or
this dainty from Pittsburg, rcceiy-
ing the same at eleven p. m. on The
fast train from that city. But now
this method is to be done away with.
Those who have touched and tasted
and who are willing to make CON
verts, have formed small company
and are in negotiation for a suitable
room to install frst-class Chinese
Two Of the most fam
ous chefs of a certain large city viii
shortly arrive here and set up their
kitchen, lares and penates.
The rooms will be fitted out in
the most approved oriental fashion,
and all the delicacies for which the
Chinese are famous viii be served at
prices, and in faultIesz
style. For the benefit Of the ladies
might be mentioned the tea--but
that's another story.
According to the Chinese rules all
patrons are allowed to inspect the

enough to convince the most skeptic
