MORRIS BOOSTS
THIS CITY.

Rev. J. E. Morris, who has been
visiting in the city for the last two
weeks, left today for his home
in Erie, Pa. He expressed himself,
to reporter of this paper, as lav-
ing spent one of the most delightful
visits among his many friends here;
that it has ever been his pleasure to
have spent heretofore anywhere.
This was not only a pleasure, but a
business trip as we'll, for while here
he built afence around his property.
tbeautifed it with paint, and Mr..
Wilkinson has just completed a
handsome porch 20 feet long on the
front of the house. He SAYS. also,
that he was glad that it was his for
tune TO visit olarksburg when he
did, for he believes it is an oppor-
ltuuity that only comes to men once
in life, to invest inslots like those
sold by the Clarksburg Industrial
Company which are located in East
GlarRsburg,; for the prices that they
are now selling at. He says that
the leading men of the State OF
Pennsylvania have their attention
turned toward West Virginia, which
they believe is one of the richest
States of its size in the Union, and
that Clarksburg is attracting more
attention today than any other city
in the State.
He was pleased with the condition
of the churches of his race here, and
said from what he could CLEAN, they
were all doing good work and from
the mutual friendship that prevail
ed among the ministers and mem
bers of the three denominations,
there was hope for still greater work.
He in particular spoke very highly
of the Rev. E. R. Baxter, and his
reason rally on last Sunday-a-week
in which he raised over 1920 among
his own people alone, and said that
| it was the best financial effort made
in any one rally in the history of
the church in this city.
Wednesday morning Mr.. Morris
visited the school and made an adj
dress to the children in which he
told them to be obedient to their
parents and their instructors. He
tried to encourage the children by
telling them that his two children,
who had their start in this school,
are equal if not superior to the
children of their age of the mixed
schools Of the city of Erie.

CATHOLIC HOME
FOR THE AGED

Wheeling, W. Va, May 17-The
REV. bishop Donohue is making ev-
cry effort to establish a Home for
the Aged in this community, and
hopes to be able to realize the great
desire for such much needed in
stitution before long. The difficulty
in procuring sisters to, take charge
of the institution is said to be about
the only cause delaying the enter
prise. Several sites are under con-
lsideration, and a deal can be closed
for any one of them when other
matters are perfected.
! The Good Shepherd convent at
Edgewood and the Orphans Home
at Elm Grove, are greatly over
crowded at the present time, there
being about 175 girls from all parts
of the state at the latter institution.
This means that the capacity of both
institutions viii shortly be material
ly increased. The diocese recently
opened small orphan asylum al
Huntington from the Southern part
of the state. The building, how
ever, has proved too small, and
plans are now being drawn for q
much larger structure, which will
accommodate at least rs children
AT present not over fifteen can b.
cared for, and it has been necessary

SUPERSTITION
IN A LETTER

The following letter containing a
colossal amount of superstition has
been received by a Clarksburg party,
who wants to know through the
columns of the Telegram if any one
else received such letter, which
bore no date and had no name sign
ed to it:
"0h, Lord Jesus, we ever love
thee. Oh, Eternal One have mercy
upon us and all mankind. Purify
US from sin by thy precious blood
and take usyto be with thee eternally.
Oh, Jesus Christ, We ever love thee.
Oh, Eternal Lord, have mercy upon
,us and deliver us from all evil
through thy precious blood. Amen.
"At Jerusalem during holy mass
a voice was heard to say: Those
who write this prayer shall be de-
lirered from every calamity. This
prayer was sent by bishop service
and recommended to be sent to nine
persons. Those who do not write
this prayer shall be afflicted by a
great calamity and he who pays nc
attention TO it shall be punished BY
an accident. Those who write this
prayer for nine days and deliver tc
nine persons by mail beginning thc
day they receive it sending one only
each day shall receive great JOY af.
ter nine days. Write these instruc.
tons with every prayer. Amen"

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
ARE ITO Be INSTALLED

Within the next few months, the
local coal companies are expecting
to purchase and put into service .
large amount of machinery, inelud-
ing electrical plants, yentilatine
fans, pumps, electric haulage loco
motives and the many small aces
sories necessary for the proper in
stallation of the same.
Ii Is understood that the Fair
mont Coal Co. expects to install
something like twenty electrical
locomotives for inside haulage pur-
poses. These locomotives are to be
Of various weights, the smallest d
which will be 3 1-2 tons and the
largest is tons.
In order to supply power for these
many locomotives at mines which,
at present, have no generating sta
tons, arrangements have been made
10 utilize the current generated at
the central plant of the Fairmont
4 Clarksburg Traction Company
In order to this, is necessary Ia
place ssb-stations at the mines us
ing this current.
These sub-stations are so arrang-
ed with transformers, rotary con-
yerters etc, to take the current
from the lines ot-the Traction COM
pany at the singh voltage of 22 600
and deliver it into tile mine at a
safe working voltage of $50. The
machinery contained in these sub
stations, while not very extensive,
of necessity has to be Of the very
best, ON account of the very high
pressure of current delivered to it.
Several local coal operators viii
take advantage of the low price Of
current named them by the Traction
company and install Transforming
and converter sets at their mines.
1t is understood that this viii be
done by the Maderia-Hill- Clark Coal
Company at their Waldo mine; the
Meadowbrook Coal and Coke Com
panv at their Erie mine, and the
Virginia & Pittsburg Coal & Coke
Company at their Kingmont mine.
We understand that the Eairmont
Coal Company will place convert
ing plant at each of the following
points
One $50 K. W. Unit at Highland
70 furnish current for Highland and
Anderson mines.
One $50 K. W. Unit at Middleton
20 furnish current for Middleton
and Chiefton mines.
Two $50 X. W. Unit at Fall Run
mine, to supply current for Pin
nickinnick, Fall Run, Dunham and
Globe mines.
Electrical hauling and mining
machinery is rapidly supplanting all
other forms and classes in this
region. The operating Of small
generating plants is very expensive
and now that the big power station
81 the Traction company which will
generate over 5000 h. p., is about
completed, all manufacturers and
operators, expecting to use electrical
current, can buy power from their
lines a great deal cheaper than they
can make it themselves.
This is due to the fact that the
new power plant contains machinery
Of the highest efficiency and will
generate such a large amount OF
current as to cut down the general
expenses per Ii. p to a very low figure
This plant is fitted with Steam
Turbo-G -Generators of the General
Electric Type, with combined
capacity of over 5000 h. p.
The boilers are the Babcock and
Willcoek type of 500 h. p. each and
at present, six of these are being in
