comment:
There is probably no other woman
in the world occupying the unique
position of Mrs. S. B. Etkins. Have
yen ever thought of it? She is
the daughter of a United States
senator, was the wife OF a United

a senatorial experience for one wo-
man and in this respect she is I'M

doubt If any other woman in the
United States has occupied a similar
position.-Kingwood Argus.
How about Mrs. Blaine Elkins, of
Morgantown? Before her marriage
she was Miss Mary Kenna, daugh-
ter of the late United States Senator
Kenna, of Charleston. Her uncle,
the Hon. William E. Chiffon, of
Charleston, is now United States
senator. Her husbands. brother,
the Hon. Davis Elkins, was United

father, the late Hon. S. B. Elktns,

the Hon. Heary G. Davis, was a'so

INC Exponent Is .busy today te

The Exponentis busy today tell
ing what Democratic candidates for
council will do, II elected to the city
council. 1t was just as busy last
fall telling what Democrats would
do, If elected to the legislature.
Everyone knows how that panned
out. Even the chairman of the
Democratic city committee promised
the night before the fall election to
vote for the prohibition amendment.
If elected to the legislature. but in
stead of doing that the Exponent
says he oversight 1t is a very
easy manner to tell what candidates
would do hut an entirely different
matter,r when it comes to doing it..
The Exponent need have no worry,
however, as the people will attend
to the matter and it will not lie by
ele2ting the Sommers ticket to office
either.

The Exponent has finally sum
naoned up courage enough to say
something OF the candidacy Of e. j..

The Exponent wants to know
whether the people are willing to
continue the present state of affairs.
Evidently, the Exponent is very well
satisfied, Judging from the high
tributes it has paid various depart
nents of the city government. Per-
haps. 1t has been persuaded to DE
lieve that Harrisburg does not want
the services longer of the best mayor
Clarksburg ever had as it says. Per-
haps, it has grown weary of an alert
chief. OF police such sit says Harry
Brooks is.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1911-03-28

For some reason the Exponent
clings to the idea OF political ma
chine, 1t is quite familiar with the
fact that is own party has one at
this time that the rank and file Of
the Democratic party have declared
war against, but 1t will be q cold
day down South, when the Exponent
is found even whfm2ering against

STREETS BEING IMPROVED.
Several Squares are Nearing Com

Held up Until Spring.

The work OF laying vitritied brick on
Duke street, between Fairfax and
Royal, has been commenced, and in 4
short time another squares OF that
modern roadway will have been added
to Alexandria. The square on Alfred
street, between King and Prince, is now
ready for the brickiayers. The square
south, upon which there is now an i'm
proved and substantial mackadam road,
has been in use fora short time. 1t
has proved highly satisfactory to resl-
dents as we'll as 10 all whose vehicles
pass over ii.
All legal arrangements for placing a
vitrified brick roadway on Fairfax
street. between Prince and Duke, have
been made, but this improvement will
not be commenced until spring, when
there will be no danger OF frost inter-
fering with the work. The ordinance
providing for the roadway passed the
Board Of Aldermen in July, but did not
come up 10 the Common Council until
October by reason OF the summer re-
cess. Had it not been for the delay the
city would have bad three more r!tri.
fed brick squares by the time the
snow begins to fly.

ForctoId by Spirits.

Friends of DR.. WI Tin.Fang when
they read yesterday in Washington
that the former minister from China to
the United States had been chosen min
lister OF foreign relations in the new
Chinese republic, recalled with cousld.
erable interest, spiritualistic seance
in which he took part two years ago
when the events OF the past few weeks
were foretold to marked degree. DIR.
Wu's penchant for investigation while
he was accredited to the United States
won for him the name Of being the
human Interrogation mark" During
his inquiry into spirtuaIism he attended
a seance at which the medium" con-
veyed his messages from the spirit
world"
The striking part OF the message,
which is now mentioned as having
heen confirmed by the recent events
in China was that the spirits foresaw for
DR.. WI "a terrible war in the Chinese
empire" They told DR.. WI that
during this war he would occupy a
place OF great importance and iniu-
cnce."
In connection with the prophecy, a
spirit purporting to be that OF Presl-
dent Mckinley conversed with DIR.
WI Saying he hoped the prediction
of war would never come true, the
!"spirit" remarked through the med
ium: II am for peace, and I know
you, also, are for peace, Are you not:
To this question this distinguished
Chinaman replied; Yes | am for
peace always"
Continuing the spirit said; | am
sure you will do all you can to prevent
this great war, my brother, and |, too
will work for peace. !"

thousand Blankenburg supporters in-
vaded the City Hall early today and
stormed the doors OF Safety Director
Clay's private Office, yelling and boot
ing him. Blocked and finally dis
persed by the combined efforts OF the
reserve and motor squad of police, the
same men formed a parade and started
a demonstration on North Broad street
which ended in free .for-all fight
when the paraders ran into crowd
from the leeds Club. The two fac

many of the fighters had received cuts

Conspiracy to Shoot Teacher.

Berlin. Nov. 7.-Conditions for
which it is hard to find any other adj
jective than horrible" have come to
light in a German school. These con-
d!lions cloak conspiracy among GER
tain boys to murder the principal OF
their gymnasium. The ages OF the
conspirators ranged from Is to 10 years.
They had bound themselves in writing
and lots we're to be drawn as to who
should do the shooting.
The murder would surely have taken
place had not teacher come across a
letter which put the authorities on
guard. What il still more disquieting
is that the instance has brought to
light several instances that point to the
innocent looking German schoplboy as
a dangerous criminal.
At a school IN Halleon Saale some
lad attempted to bribe the owner OF
restaurant to allow them to supply one
of the teachers with a glass Of liquor
such as he drank nightly. The man
pretended to consent, but reported the
matter to the police. 1t was found that
the liquor supplied by the lads con-
tanned a heavy dose OF arsenic.
A director OF another gymnasium Is
reported as declaring that in his institu'
tion 'uone OF US are sure OF our
lives" No doubt, such cases are ex.
ceptioual, and as the minister Of educa-
ton says, do not occur through any
fault OF the teachers" but it is alarm
lug that it should occur at all.
