rave Matter Under Consideration,
But Have Taken no Definite
Action as Yet.

An effort has been made by the
ONO and Mississippi Transportation
company TO secure possession OF
wharf landings along the Ohio and
Mississippi. but their efforts failed
IN this city short time ago. when
Captain John Crockard, owner of the
local wharf boat. was approached bv
representative of the company 10
sell and he refused. This action was
looked upon by many as a show OF
hght. and soon thereafter "A rumor
was circulated 70 the effect that the
company seeking the landings would
erect a river front warehouse and
elevators for handling ffeight and
compete for the trade. The rumor
gained ground to such an extent that
many were Of the opinion that work
would be started Immediately.
In conversation with The Intelli.

Hubbard. Of the Ohio and Mississippi
transportation Company. said. The
matter CO erecting warehouse and
elevators in Wheeling has been dis.
cussed by the board OF directors OF

Would Be Advantage.
The company owns n large number
or the steamers plying on the two
rivers and desire 10 ket possession OF
vharfs in many OF the larger cities.
Efforts have been made TO purchase.

iidt nothing definite has been done
toward making improvements here.

Symphony to Observe
WaQneridn Centenary
FESTIVAL AUDIENCE WILL HEAR
FAMOUS MEiSTERSiNGINC
PRELUDE

Wagner, Prince of Music Masters,
will be honored next Tuesday in the
Normal auditorium, when the Sym
phony orchestra will present his pre-.
Jude to die Meistersinger". This num-
Der will be given by special request
inasmuch as this is the hundredth an
niversary of the birth Of the great
composer. .,
The wonderfully beautiful and
sumptuous introduction to die Meis-
tersinger Won Nurnberg" ("The Mas.
tersingers of Nuremberg"), Wagner's
only comic and satirical opera, is con-
structed from a number of the prin-
cipal themes Of the opera. It opens
with the Mastersinger's motive, a
pompous march, followed by a short
development Of the tranquil motive Of
Awakening Love-" which leads to
the entrance Of another march.theme
known as the "Bannar' or king
David" motive. The latter, which re-
appears at all the important functions
Of the Mastersingers, is treated at
considerable length.
A return to the opening theme and
short interlude then lead to the
melody Ct Love Confessed" in which
will be recognized one of the exquisite
trains Of the familiar prize Song"
The restless motive, Impatient Ar
DOR" follows Immediately and is sue
ceeded by the parody on the ostenta-
tious Mastersingers' motive, develop
ed by the woodwinds, staccato, in
conjunction with the droll counter-ig-
ure Of the apprentices derision Of
Beckmesser, borrowed from the song
contest of the last act.
Wagner's brilliant musicianship and
phenomenal technical facility are
forcibly illustrated in the conclusion
of this composition, where the three
principal motives are worked up in
combination the "Mastersingers"
coming in the string-basses and tuba,
the Banner" in the woodwinds and
the Love Confessed" in the orches-
sta supplies ornate embellishments
and the whole mounts to a gorgeous
closing first violins, violoncellos and
a part of the wind instruments.

Roosevelt On Stand
Defends Reputation
LIBEL TRIAL is NOW ON BEFORE
JURY IN COURT AT MAR
QUETTE.

Marquette, Mich, May 2S.-Theo
dore Roosevelt picture of ruddy vigol
and perfect health, turned a square
head and a square jaw in the direction
of twelve farmers, transfers, miners
and woodsmen in court today, and
gave his character for sObriety as
mot a total abstainer," but never in
toxicated in his life. His testimony
and that of others which followed, cor
roborated such a description Of alb
stemiousness. Roosevelt is plaintiff
in libel suit against George A. New
EFT, who in an alleged libelous editor.
ial charged the ex-president with be.
ing a drunkard.
AT public dinners l sometimes
drink a glass Of champaign, perhaps
two. On the average l may say,
may say l drink one glass of cham
paign a month" He first testified,
adding, "and l do that in public"
He said there is fine bed of mint
at the White House, and he said he
may have drunk half dozen Mint
Juleps in year."
A light supply of wines and liquors
were taken on the African expedition,
and of this bottle of brandy was
taken along for the Colonel. The ply
stefan of the outfit measured it out
to him from time to time for chills or
for other reasons.
Il touched nothing else in eleven
months" continued the witness and
he said at the end Of his trip he had
consumed just seven ounces.
Attorney Horace Andrews Of the de-
Tense devoted little time to cross ex-
animation. Roosevelt was tractable
witness and Andrews made no great
attempt to change his testimony.
The witness expressed destation for
whiskey and beer. OF the latter he
could remember of having taken only
one mouthful in his whole life. AS
for whiskey he only took it when the
doctors prescribed it for him.
His testimony showed he drank IL
quor or wine only when compelled to
do so for indisposition or when the
conventionalities of public occasions
required.
Important witnesses to indicate the
plaintiffs physical vigor, and his
fundamental perfection were DR.. Alex.
ander Lambert, family physician and
intimate friend of 80 years and DR..
T. N. Rixey, surgeon general Of the
u. S. A. retired, whose official duties
during the Mckinley and Roosevelt
terms of Office included little else
than to guard the presidents physical
we'll being. Their testimony tended
to indicate, "he IS extremely temper
ate."
Jacob A. Riis testified he had never
seen the president under the influence
Of liquor. Robert Bacon, James R.
Garfield and Clifford Pinchott will prob.
ably be called tomorrow.

Some of the state papers are urging

matter was started as joke, yet
yet there may be serious grounds for
consideration of the matter. Too many

for purposes of furnishing cloak for
speculation and while it is hoped that
the present administration may put a
stop to this, still the farmers might
"butt in" and help.

The Pace That Kills.

X youth of i5 whose father wa, occasionally given to the use Oi profanity in his home, contracted the same habit, much to the dis turbance of both his parents.
 His mother, concluding that something must be done to prevent it becoming an established habit, made rule that after a certain date. fine of two cents should be paid her for every profane word used. Owing, however, to the fact that all the family were good Uni versalists, a compromise was reached on the words devil and hell" the fine for these being placed at one cent.
 The first nights settlement found the father owing two cents and the son five cents, but nobody had any pennies. The son refused to pay his part unless his father paid also. Finally, when all hope of an ad- iustment had passed, the son spoke up: Say, dad, be a sport. Go to it; make it even cents-you can get two damns and a hell for nickel. Life.

Put on the Defensive.

A distinguished novelist recently found himself travelling in a train with two very talkative women. Having recognized him from his published portraits, they opened fire upon him in regard to his nov els, praising them in a manner which was uncomfortable to the sen sitive author.
 Presently the train entered tun- nel, and in the darkness the novel, ist raised the back of his hand to his lips and kissed it soundly. When light had returned he found the two women regarding one another in icy silence.
 Addressing them with great suavity, he said: "Ah, ladies, the one regret of my life will be that l shall never know which of you if was that kissed me.l"-Ideas.
