Date Of july, 3.

On Monday last The Hon w. IL.
Glover OF Terra Alta. who Is can.
dIdAte for House Of Delegates on
the East SIDE, was IN runnelton.
looking after his interests in this
section. Knowing that Mr.. Glover
had already had some experience as
legislator aud believing it was due
the people to know npon what plat
form he now stood ia seeking TO
again represent them in the State
Legislature, your correspondent in
terviewed him upon certain ques-
tions. He was first asked IN regard
to his position on tax laws.
" Equal and just taxation is what
the people want and what they
should have" replied Mr.. Glover.
"The present tax laws aim to secure
this and in most respects are good,
but there are some imperfections in
them which should be speedily
remedied, and no doubt will be at
the next session of the legislature. "
1t was then suggested to him that
the people here had been thinking
seriously about the two-cent rate OF
fare on the railroad and unjust dis
elimination in freight rates.
al am decidedly in favor of the
two cent rate, and of reasonable
regulation of freight charges in this
State, and, ii l should be elected as
a member OF the legislature, will do
all l can to secure such legislation
at the next session."
In the conversation it was stated
that owing to his popularity and
prominence, and the fact that he
was largely interested in local en-.
terprises in this county, that ther c
was a strong feeling of friendship
among our people for Senator FL
kins and desire to see him succeed
himself in the U. S. Senate.
al am heartily in accord with
that sentiment, replied Mr.. Glover.
"Why, do you know I was one OF
the original Elkins men, and helE
elect him to that position when the
first entered the Senator | wrote
and circulated call for the caucus
to make the vote unanimous for
Elkins, and was one Of his most
hearty and enthusiastic supporters.
have had no cause TO change my
views since"
When Mr.. Glover was member
of the State Senate in 1897 % he
was acknowledged as one of the
leading men in that body, being as.
signed to the chairmanship of the
committee on haance, chairman OF
the committee appointed to investi-
gate the Auditors and Treasurer's
Office, member of the committee
appointed TO revise the State Con-
stituuon, Chairman of the special
committee to investigate the public
printing and bindery, whose work
saved the State $25 900 or more on
the State printing. He also served
in various other important positions
always giving that careful attention
to public duties which has made his
private business success.

land the scheme Of government, though
rather complex has worked out very well.
Every person who pays as much as $40 per
month in rental also pays taxes, and each
taxpayer, man and woman alike has a vote.
At the elections twelve councillors are
chosen, and the council in turn elects one
of its number as chairman, and this man
Is mayor of the foreign colony In all but
name. Laws are made by the council as
need occurs, and all go to the foreign con-
suls for approval. Final appeal in all legis-
lative matters can be taken to the ambaS-
SadOrial court at Peking.
Policing in Shanghai said DR.. Ransom,
is done by native Chinese and by Slkhs
from the north of India, the latter making
excellent o1ncerS. In cases where arrests
are made the prisoners are taken before
their own consular courts, which, for all
practical purposes, are police courts A
Chinese magistrate sits at the hearing of
cases of all natives with a representative
of the council, known locally as an asses
scr, on the oench to see that justice is
melted out to all.
Living Expenses.
Concerning living expenses in Shanghai,
DR.. Ransom said prices are very little diff
ferent from those in this country. Meats
are somewhat cheaper, but the only butter
obtainable is imported in Theoretically
sealed cans, and costs on an average of 81
per pound More than in anything else the
residents of Shanghai affected by f1uc-
tuations in the foreign exchange because,
with sived the standard the value of gold
coin is constantly changing. and when it is
low there Is no corresponding change in the
purchase price of necessary commodities

Chinese and Japanese, and the whole forms

600 NEW STEEL CARS.
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
Orders Them-To Cost Sc, OOO, 900.

A dispatch from Philadelphia, Pa, says:
Six hundred steel passenger cars are to be
built for the Pennsylvania railroad next
year. Space for $50 cars has been reserved
with the American Car and Foundry Com
pany, and fifty cars or more will be con-
structed at the Altoona shops of the rail-
road. The total cost is estimated at Sc, Co., =
600, or $4,000 a car.
The order to the American Car and Foun-
dry Company will be divided so as to in
clude passenger coaches, baggage, express
and mail cars. The Pullman company is
building a consignment of steel sleeping
cars, which probably will be assigned to
service on the Pennsylvania system.
The Pennsylvania railroads passenger
equipment has not been increased in the
announced intention to adopt a steel car
for it's standard as soon as one could be de-
veloped. Three experimental cars were
built recently at the Altoona shops.
The railroad company has also directed
its motive power department at Altoona to
build twenty-five freight locomotives the
largest and heaviest that the company has
ever constructed. They will be of the con-
solidation type. and will have a heating
surface of $3.50 square feet, as compares
with 2,S42 square feet in the largest loco
motives now running on the road. They
will have a tractive power of $1,000 pounds
and will weigh about 225 600 pounds The
locomotives are intended for fast freight
service to be inaugurated on the Pennsyl-
vania low-grade freight line.

 Dr Kilmartin made the presenta- tfon speech and he handled the sub- ject in a manner which pleased ey- erybody. Dr Mcdonald will soon sail for a trip to Ireland and in present. ing to him the token of esteem from his associates in the medical profess sion, Dr Kilmartin referred to his intended visit to the country of his birth-the land that cradled che speakers own. father--and hoped to see him return and live for many years to come in the enjoyment of the respect and esteem of the community where he has been so long one of the most prominent and successful of our professional men. Dr Mcdonald was deeply touched by this manifestation of good will on the part of his so- ciety associates. He thanked them for the offering and assured them that he should always regard it as one of the most precious articles in his pos- session.
 It was the biggest day the physi- clans had in years and they won't be through telling about 1t this sum- mer. The members made the return trip by trolley, reaching here some time before o'clock this morning.
