ER STATE TELL INTEREST
ING STONY.

aUnder the impulse Of develop
ment, West Virginia has become as
dtfernt from the parent State as II
she we're separated therefrom by
barriers Of the most pronounced
type. Contrary to the Impressions
Of many, especially those of the
north who are wont to regard West
Virginia as a southern State, we have
passed forever from the character
istics Of Virginia The mountains
that divide mark at once the natural
division of the States, and the per
soaal distinctions Of the populations.
The colonial disposition fades be
You'd PERCEPTION when one crosses
the Alleghanies.
The new blood that has been in
fused into the young commonwealth
came largely from Ohio and Penn
syivania, and West Virginia is now
more like those great subdivisions
OF the Union, both in spirit and in
general community Of interest. The
Ohio dividing US from the State Of
presidential aspirations is not a
barrier but a common tie. and with
Pennsylvania industrial enthusiasm
has made us close nelghbors-almost
one."-R. +. Murphy in Progressive
West Virginia"
The above is an extract from the
preface to Progressive West Vir
elnians," edited and compiled by R
Il. Murphy, and published in 1905 by
the Wheeling News.
In this work there Is about 73G
cuts and brief sketches of the mos
prominent men all over the State
politically. professional and finan
cially. OF this 1872, there are 32i
who give their nativity as West Vir
ginia and los the sketches were
born outside of the State. OF this
4O5 the sketches show that lis were
born within the present boundaries o.
Virginia, CO from Pennsylvania, 81
not stated, Sc from Ohio, 80 of for
eign birth, 81 from Maryland, - from
New York, Z from Kentucky, 6 Cana
dlans. from Indiana, 3 each from
michigan, New Jersey, Georgia, ant
Illinois, each from Vermont. Mis-
souri,, Wisconsin, New hampshire, AMI
the District of Columbia, and one each
from Maine, Texas, North Carolina
Louisiana, and Connecticut.
From the above figures taken from
the sketches themselves, It will be
sen that nearly 80 per cent of those
coming from beyond the borders Of
the State are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

An Englishman, travelling in Ireland

A little later he encountered a pea

which E. H. sothern brought out two
seasons ago with tremendous success,
and which has never been seen out.
side of the very large cities. When
Messrs. Nixon and Zimmerman assum'
ed the control Of Mr.. Whites tours
they Immediately began the search foE
vehicle which would give that emil
nent tragedian's powers full scope
One play after the other was discard
ed until "The Proud Prince" was
though of. Upon Investigation 1t was
found that the part Of Robert the Bad,
King of Sicily, was just the one to
give Mr.. White the opportunities he
desired. The part is one which re-
ouires the actor to sound the depths
Of all human emotions, love, hatred
happiness. joy. anger, jealousy, con
tempt and despair; and an early de-
cslon as to the selection Of the play
was reached by managers and star
Messrs. Nixon & Zimerman immedi'
ately set about securing the drama
from Mr.. Sothern, and after many
weeks Of negotiation the contracts
we're signed which gave them the
right to present Mr.. White in 1.-THE
Proud Prince" An elaborate produc'
ltlon was prepared, a strong cast en-
gagged and local theatergoers may rest
assured that the performance will be
enc worthy of their patronage
The story of the play has to do with
ire pursuit of an innocent mountain
girl, Perpetua, by Robert, the bad
king. He fitst wooes hernas a simple
hunter, and wins FER love. He next
appears before her as the king and
commands her to come to his palace
Pernetua's love is Of the purest, and
she seeks refuge in the mountain
chanel to which spot Robert pursues
her. When he attempts to tare her
from her sacred refuge, and defies God
and his angels, he is transformed by
the archangel Gabriel into the horrld
face and form Of his court fool, do
genes. In this shape Robert is com
pelled to appear and suffer the taunts
and bices of !f1oce Of his subjects to
whom he afTirms he is the actual king
Roberts love for Perpetua become a
pure and holy passion and he sets
abu;t 1cscd.ns her from the network
of blot and intrigue which his former
pursuit had entangled her. Roberts
final restoration to his own face AMI
form occurs in the fourth and last
act Of the play when he rescues her
from the stake where she is to be
burned at witch. Upon this proof OF
his love and devotion. the Archange
Gabriel changes lin back to his orig
inal form and from Robert the bad, be
becomes Robert the Good, the idol Of
his subjects.
