MR.. PAUL. misoUOTEO
M THE WHEELING REGISTER

To the Editor of the Intelligencer:
| have sent the following communi.
cation to the Wheeling Register:
In your accoun Of the meeting held
Monday night al the Trades Assembly
Hall. your reporter incorrectly quoted
me as saying Mayor Kirk questioned
the constitutionality OF the Recall
Provision in the charter. This is in
error. however. as I did not quote
Mayor Kirk directly OF Indirectly. nor
have ever heard my expression
from him on the subject.
/ would state that Mr.. Maher had
stated that the provision was not con
stitutional and / think probably the
error occurred through the similarity
n the pronunciation OF the names
Mahrer and Mayor.
I trust you will do Mr.. Kirk the jus.
tice 20 print this.
Yours truly.

:
DISCUSSING A BOYS CLUB.
Informal Consideration of Project Was
Held Last Night.

An informal meeting of some fifty
young men in this city, together with a
number of business men and others, was
held in the city court room last evening
for the purpose of considering plans for
the formation of a boys club TO be con-
Quoted along the lines of Y NJ. G.. A.
Al. II. Gerhardt acted as chairman of
the meeting and with City Clerk james
Mackay he outlined some of the tenta-
tive plans that have occurred to the men
and boys who are interested in the liroj-
ect. No attempt at organization was
made and after a short discussion, the
meeting was adjourned until next Tues
day evening, when it is expected that q
larger gathering will be held and speak
ers from a distance provided.
The plan, which had its inception
among the members and the teacher of
a class of young men at the Congrega-
tional Sunday school, embraces an ambi-
tious and altogether worthy scheme for
providing place for boys of sixteen
and upwards. Already it has been sug-
gested that the Camp residence, so
called, on Washington street, be convert
ed into club Tor boys, and it is under
stood that the men who are hoping that
the plans reach fruition have already OBJ
tanned an option on the lease of the
property. Proposals made last evening
included provisions for reading room,
and music rooms. II is hoped
that large number of young men will
be interested in the plan and an effort
will be made to hold the next meeting
in the opera house. Among several
speakers suggested is Byron w. Clark
of Burlington, well known in state Y. NJ.
G. A. circles, as well as prominent local
business and professional man. Unusual
enthusiasm attended last evenings dis
cussion of the proposed club. 1t is sug-
gested that the new organization be
modelled along the lines of the Vincitia
club, with officers to be chosen from
among the members, with a governing
board Of elders. Several business men
