WOT HER MEETING 3ILD BY THE STRIKING STREET CAR EM PLOYES. i'ney Caul & Special Meeting of the Trades As sembly to Consider the Matter—The Meeting Ordered. There is no prospect of an early re sumption of street railway tratlic. The conference of Monday night, or rather Tuesday morning, having failed, on the question of hours of work and wages, the Committee of employes and the representatives of the Company separated without providing for a re sumption of negotiations, and were thus as far apart, as far as actual re sults were concerned, as though they had never met. True, the Company in dicated its willingness to acquiesce in most of the demands of the men, giving assurances that the bad treatment com plained of would be slopped, that the matter of the discharge of Conductor O'Brien would In- satisfactorily settled, and that other minor matters would bo conceded; but on the wage question, and the hours the men were to work, the Company flatly refused to grant the de mand, alleging, as stated yesterday morning, that the business would not warrant the increase. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the employes was held in Trades’ Assembly Hail, at which the Committee of Con ference reported the results of the meet ing with the representatives of the Com pany. Among other tilings, the corn mat* -• stated that they were willing, and had announced their purpose to ac cept the proposition made by Mr. l’pte-j graff to work nine hours a day for SI.80, hut that President Sweeney's refusal to acquiesce in Mr. I'ptegraff’s offer pre vented what, up to that time, promised to be a settlement of tho whole trouble. After the report of the committee had been received, the course of tin* com mittee was unanimously approved by the meeting, and the committee cuntin-j ued. but without any instructions to call, another conference with the representa tives of the company. A resolution was then adopted by the ; meeting, asking tin* President of tin-' Trades Assembly to call that body j together for Sunday afternoon, and dl-j reeling that the facts regarding the -trike be laid before that body, with tin view of securing tin* active aid and eo-1 .p. ration of all tic organized bodies of | workmen In the city and neighboring : towns. This action was communicated to the President of the Assembly, who it once issued the call for Sunday morn ing. Alter tin1 adjournment ui me mg, a nuiidwr of the employ.-s were seen t>y a Reoistku reporter. They were a unit in saying that had Mr. I'ptegraff's [>r<>[»»itlon of nine hours’work for -SI .SO Keen agreed to hy Mr. Sweeney, tin' men would have gone to work at once, and the trouble U-en at an end. j Asked how that proposition eame to he made, one of the strikers said; ••The representatives of the company | seemed to have the Idea that our com- j in it tee had no power to effect a settle ment of the matter. We assured them that we had full power, and invited j them to make a test by offering some- i thing like a fair proposition on the) nuestion of wages and hours. Mr. I’p- | tegraff then submitted Ills proposition, and our committee went to one side and I ■on side red it. In a short time we an nounced we would accept it. when j President Sweeney interposed his ob- ( jeetion, and we fell apart.” The Company, on the other hand, say j to have granted tke proposition would have resulted in increasing the outlay; about 30 |>er cent. tine <>f the men seemed to represent llu' other* when lie said: "Of course, i we don’t like the Idea of a reduction of wages, but we would give up the ten L-euts a day very willingly in return for) three hours' le>s work. 1 hat I* the hlg tiling we are after—that, and having to j work an hour or two extra every day j for nothing. Mr. I ptegraffs action i was square, ami we would have accept- | cd it as such, had we been given the chance.” __ audi t reoi'LK Dally (hreutrie of tl.e Movements of In dividual* Miss Marv Tucker returned last evening from New York.

HI1ITIII.K IKK Hi: llRimJiOf A Mont KeiuarkaWc louiiuuiilcatiou-II the SUtnueiiti are True, Tlien Council Is of no Other l ie Than to Dee.l Away the Property of the City and the Kiglits ol Her Citizens. To tli f Kditor of thi Rtguttr: Each Council seems to be trying to excel its predecessor in it# disregard for the city charter.:Parliamentary law. and in some instances ordinary common honesty. It was reserved for the pres ent Council to institute a new departure in the transaction of city business, in this way: A chartered company 01 private citizen w i>hing to obtain a grant of the use of the streets or placing ob struction# on the sidewalk has a stand ing committee of Council called to gether, presents the ease to the committee, and after cajoling and flattering tin* members for a sufficient time, the Solicitor i# or dered to prepare an ordinance embody ing the wishes of the petitioner: which ordinance i# presented to Council with a recommendation sufficiently strong tc secure its passage, and the first knowl edge the public ha# of the giving away of franchises belonging to the whole city is the announcement of the passage of the ordinance. Is this right? lias any standing com mittee of Council the right to consider any business not sent to it by Council for a report? If the committees have the right to make business for Council, why not abolish Council? The last and by odds the most in famous business of the above kind i> now being put through. An attorney of the It. & 0. Co. has had the Committee on Contracts called together, announced to the Committee that the north abutment of the stone bridge on Main street would re-t in part on a piece of ground belonging to that company, and otter ing to give the city the privilege of placing the abutment on the ground, if the city will give the company the right to lav another track on Sixteenth street west of Market to its bridge over the creek. The Committee on Contractshas agreed to I’ccomineiul the passajc of on ordinance ijirlnp the rhjht to place this second hi ok on Sixteenth street. Think of it! A standing committee of Council willing to forever fasten that infernal nuisance on Sixteenth street, and at the same time destroy in part the usefulness of an improvement the city has contracted to pay more than one hundred thousand dollars for. Will the people stand this? Can the Democratic party carry a Council ca pable of working such an injury to our city's interests? Ought not the passage of this measure to be tin- political death knell of every member of Council who votes for it? Timm Waiii». SMALL TALK. Minor Matters of Interest Itrlelly and Pithily Told.

AND BE CONVINCED—EXPRESS YOUa OPINION TO THE SCHOOL fommissuner cf Your District Tbit Yon TAatd Manual Training ;n the Public Schools, and You TV ant It Quick. Dr. N. K. Sehaeffer, of theKuiztown, Pa., Normal School, is 011c of the dis tinguished educators whose services have been secured during the sessions of the Wheeling Teachers’ Institute. No man stands higher in the State of Penn sylvania us an educator or lias given more careful study to the problems of public school work. Dr. SehaefTer was a member of the commission of five ap pointed by Governor Beaver some two years ago, to investigate the subject of manual training. After long and care ful study of the various systems in ope ration, the commission reported with r -markable unanimity in favor of the introduction of manual training into the Pennsylvania public schools. Dr. Schaeffer was one of the most enthusiastic advocates of the idea, and bore an important part in the pre paration of the commission’s report. To a representative of the Rmjisti'ii last evening, be accorded a brief inter view on the subject, in which lie is so deeply interested, lie saiii: “There is no longer a reasonable question of the advantages of manual training. We train our boys and girls to make clerks and accountants; young men and women arc trained to make physicians, lawyers and educators, and both reason and justice indicate that the mechanic and artisan i should receive their share of !educational benefits. It was a part of the eode of the old .lews that every boy should be taught a trade. Peter was a lisherinan and Paul was a tent-maker, and their apostate work was doubtless more thorough and effective because J of the lessons they had learned in j the days spent at their trades. Manual ; training is to-day an outgrowth of the practieai spirit of the age. The aver age girl growing up in a city is liifin ‘ itely more interested in a knowledge of serving and cooking than -he is in square root or cubic root. 1 understand that you have a street car strike here in Wheeling. The men receive *1.75 a . day. Multiply that by 365 and you have a very meagre income for the year. Wliat can be of more importance to these workingmen and to the thousands j of others like them than tlie thorough training of their wives and daughters ; in the useful works of domestic life? TIC ,\ I \ HAM* Av wil.l. -\> lir.Ai*. What do you think of the objection | that the public school is not the place for making mechanics'.' "The friends of manual training have never said that It was; what we do say is this, boys and girls are given hands as well as heads; nine-tenths of them will be compelled to earn their bread by the use of their hands. Why not train the hand then as well as the head'.’ Why shall not the public schools lay the foundation for the mechanic to build on, as well as for the lawyer or doctor? What are the advantages of the school over the apprentice system?" Our old apprentice system was the best thing ever invented to crush out 'ambition and skill. 'As soon as the boy : became able to make anything, it be camo the interest of the masters to keep him making that, instead of wast ing time und materials In learning something new. 1 know of a case near my own home, in which a boy, appren ticed to learn the stone cutter’s trade, was kept rubbing stone for over six months, a thing that he could learn in half a day. In the manual training -t-hnol, after a boy has learned to do lone thing well lie drops that and goes ahead to something new, until he learns all the important principles of median i ics, and is thoroughly skilled as an art]-1 j sail. l*KOTKt TIOX l ot: l ilt: AMEltlf AN HOY, 1 ••The conditions of life arc always ' .' hanging. A man may have a trade to day. and a new invention will destroy it; a machine will take his place and do his | work. Give a boy a thorough training ' | in the fundamental principles of hand 1 work, and if he loses one trade, in nine ! leases out of ten his versatility will enable him topiek up another one in a j short time. In addition to this, every ' I year we are importing from Europe over 50,000 skilled work- i ! men. They occupy remunerative j ■ position- which justly belong to onr j | American boys. The cause is easy to j ] line!, (jermany and France have per | feet systems of mg mini training. Their | young men become skilled in their trades, and they easily command posi tions which a raw and unskilled Ameri can boy, whose head is tilled with logarithms and cube roots, cannot fill. We talk about protecting Ameri can labor. The manual training school will bo the greatest protection wo can give to the American workingman.” I “What lias been the experience of manual training schools in your knowl | edge?” , “In IST.'l the system was introduced in the Philadelphia schools, over sixty per I eent. of the girls that applied for ad mission were not able to thread a needle mr si'w a seam. To-day there are 30,000 : in the sewing classes alone in that city. In all the departments of the school i there are too many applicants for even ; their enormous facilities to accommo date. The Spring Garden Institute is j located opposite the lialdwin’s Locotno i live Works, and almost the entire plant is manned by uien trained in the Insti tute. If the managers of the works have no position for the boy when he grad uates from the Institute they make A I’HAf TICAIU.K SYSTKM KOIt WIIU.LINli. I - llow do yon think manual training • should bo introduced into a city the size , of Wheeling?" [ “Well, I think you ought to have a separate school building, with especial instructors. I am informed that a suit able building could be easily obtained here. You would probably hate from a hundred to two hundred or more pupils the first year, and l am confident tin- expense, aside from furnishing the building, would not be more than S.t.OOO. Such a school could easily be run in con nection with a high school, and would prove of inestimable benefit." “What do you think the proper age for the pupil to enter the school?" “Well, I believe the average high school age is about the right one. I know that manual training has been at tempted in primary schools, but I do not think its advantages are as marked as where reserved for older pupils. Six hours constitute an average sehool day. In Chicago and Philadelphia this plan is to give one hour to mathematics, one to languages, one to drawing, and one to other studies, while the remaining txyo are spent In the work rooms. 1 think this is probably Jthe best division of. the day. I feel confident that the time is not far distant when an institution; conducted on tho plan I have outlined, or one similar to it, will be established in every important city in the country.” When the Prinoo Comes. If the Prince of Wales comes to Amer ica next winter, one of his chief delights will be a luncheon of Marvin's famous Stanley Cakes. He will likely take sev eral boxes of the delicious dainty home to his royal mother, Queen Vie.

Horses Arriving on the Fair Ground*. Horses are arriving on the Fair Grouuds almost daily. Yesterday, Mr. Shorpneclc, of Youngstown, brought in two running horses, and Mr. Holliday of Pt. Pleasant, three runners. The running entries cjose next Monday evening, and there promises to be a big list of good horses. The entries in the trotting and pacing races will likely be printed in a day or two. Kim Grove Road Tax. The Board of Commissioners’ Committee on Finance met yesterday and after consid ering the |H‘tition of the town officers of Kim Grove to have the people of that town relieved of the district road tax, or as an alternative have the tax collected paid into the town treasury, recommended to the Board that the tax be collected by the Sheriff on the levy for W«>, and paid over to the town, the Sheriff’s commission and advances to bo deducted. Accidental Shooting. I A telephone message received here from Kosbv's Rock says that yesterday a son of ! Mr. .fessc Bonar, an influential farmer re siding on Bowman, shot and instantly killed his cousin, Everett Bouar. The boys, both of whom arc aged about ten years, j were playing with an old gun which was not known to be loaded, when one of them picked it up and snapped it at the other, with the result above stated. The shooting was purely accidental. Hill I Notes* The base hall enthusiasts are antici pating with much pleasure a great contest between tbe celebrated Red Cross Oil club and the Fort Henry club, both of this place.
