tor Gray Silver, of Berkeley county,
leader of the Democrats in the upper
branch of the Legislature at the last
session, will be a candidate for president
of the State Senate. according to
statements made by his friends. While
the strength OF the two great parties in
the Senate will be equal, under the
provisions of the State Constitution, Sen
ator Kidd, a Democrat, and the ranking
member ID point of service. will preside
1ntil the Senate is organized; conse-
quently, the Democrats will organize the
Senate and elect all the officers. AS
Senator Silver was the minority caucus
nominee for president of the Senate at
the last session. and. by reason of this
side of the chamber. his friends urge
that be is the logical man for president
of the Senate at the coming session. 1t

that his services to both his party and
the state should be rewarded by his cleo
ton to this Office by the unanimous
Democratic vote of the Senate; and it is
predicted that the honor will be given
him by practically the full strength of
his party in the upper house. He was
member of recent sessions.

Miss Barley DEED

After severe illness of a complication
OF diseases. Miss Ssllie c Barley, men,
Der of one of the Oldest and best-kuown
families of Winchester, passed away at
Is minutes to o'clock this morning at
her home. on North Braddock street. at
the age Of S. years. Miss Barley's health
had been failing for the past year, but it
was only a few months ago that her con-
ditlon became such as to alarm her
kinsfok and lifelong friends and as
sociates. She was taken to the Memorial
Hospital, where she submitted to a
surgical operation which gave temporary
relief. The nature of her illness. how
ever, precluded any hope of ultimate re-
coverv. Despite the fact that she
realized this herself, and also that she
suffered much pain, she was patient
under sff1iction. and the same happy and
cheerful disposition which was one of
her most notable characteristics was
maintained by her almost to the moment
of dissolution. MISS Barley was a
d 4ughter of the late Capt. Lewis Barley,
who was for many years widely known
passenger conductor OH the Baltim ore
and Ohio Railroad. She was held in the
highest esteem by wide circle of friends
and acquahtauces. and she made friends
readily wherever she gathered with peo-
pie by her bright and sunny nature and
cordially toward all. She possessed
that trait Of character which brought Joy
and gladness and comfort into many
darkened places. and none knew her but
to like her and find pleasure and happi-
ness III her co npany. She is survived
by one sister, Mrs Kate Bush. aud one
bro her. Cspt. Lewis Barley, who now
hol : the railroad position so long occu-
p ed d, his late father -Winchester Star.

Especial to the Wheeling Register. [

Kiagwood w. Va. Nov. IA
representative of the Register called on
Hon. William G. Brown. IT.. at histome
in Kingwood today and asked him if he
had any expression to make for the
Register in relation to the unexpectedly
large vote which he received in the late
election. Mr.. Brown expressed himself
as highly delighted and as grateful to all
his people. Republicans and Democrats
alike. He was especially pleased with
the magnificent vote which he received
in his own county and with the unusual
evidence of good feeling which all his
neighbors, without regard to politics,
have manifested toward him. both dur
ing the campaign and since.
Mr.. Brown referred with especial
pleasure to the remarkable coincidence
that this is the first time that the voters
of Preston county have given majority
of their votes to any Democrat since
their fathers gave to Mr.. Browns father
similar majority when he was candi-
datr for congress in 1861.
Mr.. Brown showed to the correspondent
the official notification which his father
received from the committee of the
national Democratic convention of his
nomination as Its candidate for congress
IN the Tenth Congressional District of
Virginia. This notification was dated
Wheeling. Va. April 20. 1861. and was
signed by A. Wilson and George Forbes,
of the committee. and is treasured by
Mr.. Brown as one of his cherished
possessions.
AS to the senatorship Mr.. Brown said:
Il do not want to be understood as
speaking in disparagement of the other
able. well equipped and deserving as
pirants for this position, for we have a
splendid field to select from, and in the
election OF any gentleman named. so far
IN this connection, no mistake would be
made, but Colonel McGraw is my first
choice"

Medical Temperance.

The object of the Medical Temper
ance Department. of the Woman's Chris
tain Temperance Union is to see that
physicians receive literature prepared
by those who have made a scientific
study of the effects of alcohol and
narcotics upon the human system, to
appeal to physicians to use their infiu-
ence as well as personal example Sin
the great fight against that destroyer
of homes and of women's happiness,
alcoholic drink" Women are taught
through this department, of the in
furious effect of drugs contained in
patent medicines, as well as the use of
alcohol upon themselves and families.
When the American Medical Associ-
alton held its annual meeting this year
at st Louis, delegation of white rib
boners arranged themselves at the door
of the Odeon, 1.-THE building where the
main meeting was held), and presented
to each physicians an envelope con-
tanning the three leaflets especially pre-
pared for this years work among ply
sicians and printed letter prepared to
accompany these leaflets by Mrs.
Martha M. Allen, superintendent of
the department of medical temperance
for the Worlds and Nationals W G.
T. U. About $500 doctors received
these envelopes. The leaflets given
out were; "The Alcohol-a-F Food in the
light of Recent Researches, 1.-THE Use
of Alcohol in Hospitals Declining" and
'Some opinions of Alcohol as Medicine
from Professors in Medical Colleges "
In the above mentioned letter Mrs.
Allen said, "Were all good physicians
as outspoken as DR.. Frederick Peter
son, of New York and DR.. Matthew
Woods of Philadelphia, for example,
the liquor traffic, with all its attendant
evils of immortality, poverty, misery
and crime, would receive a greater
check than can be given to it by all
other forces combined" She then re- |
lates incidents where physicians con-
vince persons of the harm drinking did
their health when nothing else could
convince them.
