.Publie Idbraly Movement.

0&rksburg is to have at last a
public library and reading room,
thastks to the most commemorate eff
forts Of the members of the woman's
Civic Club. Announcement has
been made that the club will throw
open the room 1t has engaged in the
Jacobs building to the public We'd
lesday and the members cordially
invite all citizens to visit 1t and take
advantage OF the privileges that it
affords The project is intended as
a nucleus for free public library
such as city of the size Of Clarks-
burg ought by all means to have. It
is'I1ot opened as free institution as
there is no endowment nor perman-
emit income to warrant such but a
small subscription fee will be asked
for the purpose of maintaining it.
This subscription or membership fee
has been fixed at only 81 for which
is given a ticket that entities the
holder to the privileges of the
library for a year. 1t is the idea of
the promoters to keep the movement
going until the institution can be
turned into free public library.
me library starts with only a
comparatively small number of books
and small membership but with the
hearty cooperation Of the good citi-
zeus of the city 1t is hoped to large
ly increase both within short time.
The scheme is an excellent one and
deserves the cordial support and en-
couragement OF all. The benefits
that may be derived from a public
library are many and the possibilities
in a community that has been depriv.
ed of them are too obvious to require
any especial delineation. Much
praise is due to the members of the
W5hmn's Civic Club and citizens
should show appreciation Of their
good efforts by assisting them in this
most s0mmendable movement.

hairbreadth escapes that is told with
charm that captivates every reader

This feature is only one Of the many
new ones that the Telegram has been
giving and expects to give its read
ers as the opportunities warrant.

The decrease in the earnings o.
the Baltimore G Ohio railroad last
month is not barometer of business.
The company suffered greatly from
floods and expended much money in
repairs. What is a barometer of
business is the demand for cars for
shipping purposes and the company
knows well enough that the demand
has been greater than it has been
able to meet, at least greater than it
has mt. So. none need conclude
that business has gone to the bow
vows because the net earnings Of
the railroad company are not as
much as they were for a prior like
period.

Il has been suggested that it
would be the proper thing for the
street car company to sprinkle the
paved streets and even other streets
1t traverses. The method would be
a quick one and doubtless a very
cheap one after. the proper applian-
ces had been secured. Why should
not the street car company try 1t as
an experiment? The cars certainly
do raise enough dust for it to be de-
manded of the company that it
should take the action suggested.

exhausters Of natural gas

greatest exhausters of natural gas
known. The gas fields around
clarksburg should be preserved as
much as possible as their product
will not last forever, though there is
every indication that it will be many
years before the supply is exhausted.
It pays to practice economy in this
particular and certainly its cheap
ness does not warrant or justify
wastefulness, especially SO, when 1T
is shown that the globe light is
cheaper to the consumer than the
fambeau and just as serviceable.

And now the Telegram finds that
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad has
promoted a man for the good work
he did in getting the bridges back in
shape after the recent Hood. This
is a little out of the ordinary in most
lines of business, for 1t is an accept
ed principle with some that the bet
ter the work done by the fellow the
more desirable it is to keep him
there. Hence, promotion never
comes.
