The centennial celebration of the Presbyterian church at Mount Pleasant, Ohio, which holds the honor for being the third church of this denomination organised west of the Ohio river, was observed yesterday %and large crowds attended eacii of the three special services. Rev. Joseph Anderson, who had the euvmvie nunor w uc inc iiibi terlan minister ordained weit of the Ohio, served as pastor from the time of the organisation until 1829. Rev. Benjamin Mitchell was pastor from 1829 to 1876 and from the latter 4ate until his death In 1884. was paator emeritus. Rev. S. W. Prlngle served from 1877 to 1896, and Rev. B. J. Brown, the present paator. was Installed In May, 1897. The church was organized In a grove on Short creek, by Scotch-Irish settlers from Pennsylvania settlements. The pastor and precenton stood on o covered platform. A log church was built and the people worshipped In it for twenty years; next for eleven years In the Associate Reformed church. A church building was erected in 1830 and the present building lit 1855. Rev. D. L. Dickey presided over yeslorH o R .T Pmivn. the pastor, delivered the address of welcome and T. M. McConnaughcy read the history of the church. Other addresses were made by Rev. "W. V. MllllHan. D. D.. of Cambridge, O., on "Early Recollections;" Rev. . Robert Alexander, D. D., of St. Clalrsvllle, on "Character of Early Settlers;" Rev. J. D. Moffat, D. D? Lb. D., of Washlngton-Jefferson College, on "Presbyterlanlsm." The organiser of this church, which was called Short Creek at flrst and of Richland church (now St Clalrsvllle), was Dr. John McMillan, a pioneer Presbyterian minister of Western Pennsylvania. THE SOMMERNACHTSFEST Of the Opera House Orchestra Drew a Large Audience. A large crowd, representative of Wheeling society, attended (he concert and Bommernachtsfest given by the Opera House orchestra, at Wheeling | Park, last evening. Two special trains | left the Sixteenth street station at 7:30 . o'clock, conveying a large number of music-loving and pleasure-seekers to the casino station. The crowd was handled with ease by the Wheeling & Elm Grove force, under the efficient supervision of Capt Weisgerber. A more appropriate night could not have been desired. The change from the oppressive heat of the city to the cool air of Wheeling's chief pleasure resort, was delightful. And the park?the pride of the valley?never looked prettier. The numerous llght9 gleaming amidst luxuriant foliage added to the luminous effect produced by a full moon. An exemplification of perfect harmony Is a terse description of the concert. The programme, covering a wide range? from the martial air of "Our Nation's Guard" to the classic strain of "Luciadi Sammermoor"?was one to test the mettle of the most competent musician, and the orchestra demonstrated their position as the pioneer concert organ! zation of this vicinity. The guiding hand of Prof. E. W. Spoil was plainly evident, and to him a great measure of praise is due. The sweet tenor voice of Mr. fi. Emerson was heard to advantage In his solo, "The Flight of Ages." Mr. Emerson responded to an encore. The fact that the musicians were in the open air was not calculated to aid the vocal soloists. Mr. Charles Zulauf, Wheeling's favorite basso, rendered "The Bandolero" in artistic style. Mr. Zulaufs effort was received with such enthusiasm that ho was compelled to respond to an encore. "Sweet Birdie," piccalo solo, by Mr. John Huml, was given with an harmonious precision that betokened the truo artist. Of the popular music on the programme "Georgia Camp Meeting," a rollicking, rag-time melody, made the tilt of the evening. At the conclusion of the concert, a short intermission ensued, after which flnnHnir on the rnslno floor commenced. Special motors left the casino station at 12 and 1 o'clock. The one regrettable feature In connection with lost nisht's concert was the reallxation that It was the last of the season. The PamIoii Play. There will be a representation! of the Passion Play at the Carroll club auditorium through fair week, with performances afternoon and evening. Says Lhe Boston Transcript: "Time was when the Passion Plays of the European peasants were only possible to those who made the voyage across the Atlantic, and also took the long, tedious Journey across tho mountains to the village where. In their simplicity, the humble actors gave their representations with awful earnestness. Now modern invention makes It posslkla lA Btnu In llAetnn. and con fho Bfl mo play, described by Professor Ernest Lacy In his lecture In a manner well calculate*! to heighten the effect. There was a large audience, and the Impressive silence throughout testified' to the deep Impression created by the exhibition." Itchier Walla for Pnrto Rico. NEW YORK, August 31.?Admiral W.

WHEELING FIGURED IN THE GAM AS'THE TOWN TO WHICH THE "PEARL" OP THE STORT WAS GOING-IT WAS AN OLD GAME UNDER NEW AND NOVEL GUISE-MANY ARE SAID TO ------ wnmnrtwun mtits A1AV c; ULA.f titliAiACU-iUC ALLEGED SWINDLER UNDER ARREST. Incidentally, Wheeling figures In the clever swindle that was unearthed ut Cleveland on Tuesday, as detailed in the Associated Press dispatch printed in the Intelligencer yesterday morning. The "decoy" letter, represents "Pearl" us coming to Wheeling. Of course there is no "Pearl" and she never saw Wheeling. The swindle Is considered very clever by the police. James W. Beeman is now under arrest at Cleveland, charged with the swindle. The Leader gives the following particulars of the scheme: Two days ago Chief of Police Corner received a letter from the chief of police at Buffalo. It contained several other letters, an tne same ana in iinsame handwriting. On each a pawn check was pinned. The Buffalo chief explained that the letters were found on the streets of Buffalo and turned over to him. They were addressed to Mr. Edward Paxton, but dJd not give any city or street address. The letters were written in a woman's handwriting, and all read as follows: 'CLEVELAND, Wednesday, 4 p. m. "My Dear Ed:?Have been waiting to see you at the old place for nearly three weeks, nnd oh! darling, how I have longed for you. I must go on to Wheeling in the morning, and send this in haste by Mr. Hill, as he tells me he will see you. I enclose you ticket for my Bolltaire, and please don't scold, dear, i for I had to have it, and It was not exI travagant. as you see I only got $15 on I it, when I could have gotten $75. Redeem the ring at once, Ed, and try to I send me 125 nt Wheeling. I will tell | mamma you have the ring, as she will ; surely notice its absence. Will expect I you first of the month In Wheeling. Bessie is going through with me. "In haste and lovingly, "PEARL." |* Pinned to the above letter was the I pawn ticket of Julius W. Beemnn, broker, made out in the name of Mrs. i I "Pearl" Cramp. I Upon reading the letters the Cleveland police concluded nt once that a clever swindle was being perpetrated under their very noses, and Detective Doran and McMillen were put upon the case. As the pawn check pinned to each letter found on the street gave the name of "Julius W. Heeman.broker, Beckman block." the officers watched : the building, located the office, and then | bided their -time. From all appear- ; ances Beeman was doing a rushing business from out of town patrons, as the letter carrier never passed the door without leaving mall for him. Tuesday afternoon Detective Doran concluded that the time was ripe for action, and he started to Beeman's office, armed with one of the letters .to which the pawn check as described, was , attached. Outside the door he stopped and then learned that a representative of the American Express Company was Inside making application for the $75 solitaire. He, too, *ras armed with a 1 letter signed hy the unknown "Pearl," and which had been forwarded, together with $16 50, by a citizen of Buffalo, who asked the express company to i redeem the diamond. To the express man Beeman was overheard to eay that he had no Jewelry, and he denied knowing anything about the letter or pawn check. The express man left and Doran stepped In. He presented one of the letters forwarded by Buffalo's chief of . police nnd asked to redeem the diamond. The detective was told the same a.H was the express man. that the office represented a medical firm and had no Jewelry. Beeman was then placed under arrest. He denied all knowledge of the pawn checks or letters, and claimed that he never saw either before. A Ht-arch of his office revealed n stack of the checks attached to a smaJl medical circular of the same size. Scraps of paper found In his wastebanket, when put together by Captain Lohrer, proved to be one of the delusive letters. Even then Beeman denied any guilt. but hinted that possibly others might throw some light on the affair. Captain Lohrer later said to a reporter: "It la an old swindle, but in a new and novel shape. A woman accomplice wrote the letters and dropped them on the streets of Buffalo. Scrupulous people turned the ones they found in to the police. Unscrupulous people forwarded money, hoping to get a valuable ring that did not belong to them. The originator of the game knew that when no ring was sent, for the money received, the- sender dared not complain. "Evidently he did not believe that there was on honest mnn In Buffalo or that the letters would fall Into the hands of the police. Neither did he calculate on money being sent to express companies to representatives of which he would have to make an cxplunntion. Many people undoubtedly lost money through trying to play the game." THE United Slates Is fast becoming 1 the great grape-crowlnsr country of the 1 world.

There are many pleasant landmarks along the highway of the order that I remerr.ber with some satisfaction to mjyself. while the many kind-hearted brothers who have put up with my shortcomings, and as the years rolled around, given me their support, has caused me to form ties that are not easily severed. I am satisfied that the brotherhood will wish me well in the new field that I may enter. It will be tny purpose to do ail in my power as a humble member of the order to advance its interests whenever I can.

C., August 3L?At noon to-morrow there will be opened in Lhe office of the secretary of the navy the proposals for building three great battleships authorized by the last naval appropriation bill. These vessels will represent the very latest developments in naval construction, in many respects being improvements upon the Illinois class of battleships upon which they are generally patterned. The speiflcatlons are for vessels of 11,500 tons Jisplacemont, about the size of the Ioiva .but the batteries will be more formidable, consisting in the turrets of 13Inch guns wnile the Iowa has only 12inch guns. The speed is fixed at sixteen inots with provision for reductions in price in case of deficiency, but with no premiums lor excess speed. The llmiatlon of the speed, to this figure was pnly placed after a long controversy between the bureau chiefs and it is possible that some of the bidders may propose to raise the limit even as high is eighteen knots, knowing that the department will take into favorable conitderatlon any such tender making the ?wards. The department will permit bidders to submit their own plana or to ^id on those of the department uud it is ixpected that the result will be that j lome of the bidders will avail of t?oth I irivileces. One feature of thn deslunn I hat is likely to Rive rise to criticism is :he provision for a full equipment of orpedo tubes, both above and under vnter. This Is directly opposed to the ludgment of some of the naval experts vho witnessed the "battle of July 3 and cported to their home governments hat the torpedo outfits on battleships vere a source of jrreat danger <o the ships and that their presence was of >nly questionable volue.

ALOEB PAYS A VISIT To the Hospital m Fort Sljrer?Pattenla Well Treated. WASHINGTON. D. C.. Auoust JL? Secretary Alger with Mrs. Alger, paid a visit to the hospital at Fort Myer last evening and inspected the arrangements there for the 'treatment of the cases of fever coming from Camp Alger. These were found to be of the fi| first order. The surgeons Id charge are supplied with everything conducive Co the comfort of the patients that many can buy. It was a noticeable fact that many of the soldiers complained of hunger and this in spite of the fact that they are given all of the food that the nature of the ailments will admit of. Few of the visitors to the army hospitals would see the typhoid patients emaciated in appearance calling for food, realize that to grant their desire for solid food would be to condemn the patients to death; that the Immediate result of the administration of anything more than limited quantities of liquid food would cause perforation of the inflamed Intestines, hemorrhage and death. Secretary Alger's attention has been strongly directed toward this fact by the reports that come to him from the medical officers of the field and garrison hospitals. Major Taylor, the surgeon in charge at Fort McPherson. Ga., hospital. has suffered from adverse criticism, bast-d on the observation of inexperienced visitors and while he has refrained from answering criticisms published In the newspapers, he has suomittod the facts to the war department. ? Ills statements exactly bear out the ob- I sensations of Secretary Alger as to th?! il I mistakes made in assuming that pa- j v tientH were under fed. Moreover, Major Taylor takes occa- = slon to show by figures just what he has done for the patients In the matter of ? food and attention. His bill for milk C alone is JSOO per month; he has more ^ Ice than can be used either for drinking 1 purposes or for ice bags and caps for the patients. He provides a special diet c0 in specially arranged kitchens; he has th< seventy-one trained nurses, over one Be hundred hospital attendants and em- up ploys numerous laborers to clean the mess hall and tents. The female (jj, nurses are indignant at the criticisms tin that have been passed upon the hospit- ca al and Major Taylor pays a high trlb- as ute to the untiring devotion shown by these nurses to their charges. ! Secretary Alger says these state- ?*| ments nre but samples of those that sh. come from all of <he hospitals and 2 from unprejudiced observers whose experience enables them to give a fair S|t opinion.
