CATHOLIC HOME
FOR The AGED

Wheeling, W. va, May 1.-THE
Rev. Bishop D6nohueis making ey-
cry effort to establish a Home for
the Aged in this community, and
ropes to be able to realize the great
desire for such much Reeded 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-
sideration, and 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 abodt 175 girls from all parts
of the state at the latter institution.
This means that the capacity of both
institutions viii shortly be material
" increased. The diocese recently
opened a small orphan asylum at
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 be
cared for, and it has been necessary
to turn away many applicants for
the reasons stated.

lin Erie, Pa. He expressed himself,
| to a reporter of this paper, as hav-

visits among his many friends here
that it has ever been his pleasure t.

lThis was not only a pleasure, but a
cuisines trip as well, for while here
he builta fence around his property,
beautifed it with paint, and Mr.
llyilkinssn has just completed a
handsome porch 90 feet long on the
front of the house. He says, also,
that he was glad that it was his for
tune to visit Clarksburg when he
did, for he believes it is an oppor-
Itunity that only comes to men once
lin life. to invest in lots like those
sold by the Clarksburg Industrial
Company which are located in East
Clarksburg, 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 ofits size in the Union, and
that Clarksburg is Attracting more
attention today than any other city
lin the State,
He was pleased with the condition
lof the churches Of his race here, and
said from what he could CLEAN, they
were all doing good work and from
Fthe mutual friendship that prevail
led among the ministers and mem.
Ibsrs Of the three denominations
there waahope for still greater work
He in particular spoke very highly
of the Rev. E. R. Bazier, and his
reason rally on last Sunday-a-week
lin which he raised over 1920 among
his own people alone, and said that
III was the best financial effort made
in any one rally in tho 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 obedieit 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

ETRICAL APPLIANCES

Within the next few months, the
Local coal companies are expecting
to purchase and put into service
large amount OF machinery. includ-
Ing electrical plants, yentilating
fans; pumps, electric haulage loco

Of various weights; the smallest %
which will be 8 l-s tons and the
largest 10 tons.
In order to supply power Tor mes
many locomotives at mines which,
at present, have no generating sta
lions. arrangements have been made
TO utilize the current generated at
the central plant of the Fairmont
& Clarlzsburg, Traction Company
In order to do this, it is necessary to
place sub-stations at the mines US
ing this current.
These snb-ststions are 50 arrang-
ed with transformers, rotary con-
yerters. etc, to take the current
from the lines of the Traction COM
pany at the high voltage OF 2sooo
and deliver it into the 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 #.
Several local coal operators will
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 will be
done by the Maderia- Hill Clark Coal
COMPANY at their Waldo mine the
Meadowbrook Coal and Coke Com

sent this message to Congress to-day
The Senate and House Of Representatives.:
| herewith enclose communications from
the Navy Department and the War Depart
ment in reference to communication from
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco and from
other representatives of California. With a
courage and self-rellance Of which we cannot
as Americans be sufficiently proud the people
Of San Francisco have already started, in
orderly and resolute fashion, to rebuild the
city. Immediate aid In this enterprise should
be Civ en- by the Federal Government.
One of the crying needs Of the situation is
employment for the scores OF thousands OF
men who have lost everything. IL the appro-
~priation of $500. 600 for the Mare Island Navy
Yard be at once passed, over two thousand
mrn will Immediately be put TO work. for this
appropriation will be expended only in en-
ploying labor. The appropriation Is urgently
needed as a means Of contributing toward
the reestablishment of affairs In San Francisco,
IL will also be Of material use to the navy. .
Furthermore, | recommend that the Con-
1ress act on the recommendations of the
War Department and appropriate the money
necessary to establish a building as a gen eral
supply and storage depot for the supply de-
partments OF the army and the transport
service on a part OF the military reservation at
Fort Mason. This project Is set forth in
Senate bill 4475 OF the present session. | have
requested the Treasury and Post Oflce Depart
ments to prepare their stimates for replacing
or repairing the other Government buildings
in San Francisco. These stimates will be
ready in a short while and will then be laid
before you. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
