HOW GIRLS DRESS. REV. MR. ASH SAYS SOCIETY PEOPLE RIG UP TOO MUCH. Rev. Mr. H. pk.n3 Jumps os Dancing—Rev. C. W. Cushing Sets an Example for Young Women of To-Day—Other Sermons. At the Wesley M. D. Cliapellast even ing, Eev. D. L. Ash preached before the Lady Washington Camp Xo. 1. Daugh ters of Liberty. The pastor started out by saying that everything loves liberty. It is the great boon of life. This is true of the animal creation. It is certainly j none the less true of mankind, every where, of every name and every clime. After speaking of the various phases of ; liberty, the preacher came more directly to woman, of whom he said:— Under the mighty, crushing influence of sin, woman, undoubtedly lias been the createst sufferer. This may be at tributed to two causes, lir't, she is the weaker of the two: second, she is gentler 1 and less belligerant than her companion ! in strength. Woman is rising step by step, as the great king of light and liberty ascends the political, social and moral heavens, and ere long she will take her place where- she properly belongs, the erowu ' log ligure in the great work of Hod. There are great and formidable enc mies in this world to every phase of I liberty. First, there is the rum trallie. An other formidable foe to liberty is fashion. No heathen god or goddess ■ has ever had more zealous devotees than fashion. It is one thing to dress for j . beauty and comfort: quite another - thing to dress for fashion’s sake and be I uncomfortable. One has said that wo get our fashions from New York, Sew York gets them from Paris, Paris gets , them from the devil, and we suppose j the devil manufactures them in llades. I The surest and best way to get out of; the world is to follow strictly the fash ion. It will take you there every time. It ha' a wonderful hold on the world. We have fashionable societies, fashion able saloons, fashionable houses of pros titution. fashionable courts, fashionable ' rogues, and, worst of all, fashionable churches. All these fashionable ones are in the same boat, goiug down into I the jaws of hell. About one year ago a thousand or j more working girls of New York city 'organized an anti-fashion society. After i ! they came out once on dress parade in j : their modest attire we never heard any-1 thing more from this little army. We I suppose mother fashion frowned, the lioys laughed, and the dear girls sur rendered. Oh! for a great cru sader’s movement against these monstrous foes of liberty. We would I like to organize, at the head of this great army of crusaders, all the Daugh ter' of Liberty in the laud, then muster i in all the Sons of Liberty, all the <>p pressi-d. down-trodden and ’.lie slaves to all these vices, with Christ Jesus as the captain of our salvation, then with one 'olid phalanx strike the enemy, strike j for victory and for liberty. GROWING IN INTEREST. Evangelistic Hull Packed with Enthusi astic Hearers. Kvangelistic Hall was full of men on Saturday night, and on Sunday evening ' the hall was packed with people largely composed of the nun-church going ele ment. It i- dearly evident that tin good in lluence is having a marked ef fect. us tin- meetings are orderly and a j deep interest manifest w hich is a radi cal change for the belter since the work i began three months ago, and without j exaggeration it can lie said that many staggering under the influence of drink are now uuder the influence of some thing better. Mr. Sawyer's remarks evening after j evening have been practical and sea ! sowed with common sense. The music rendered by the Aeolian Male Quartette and Mr. Kasley lias been of great us \ sistance. having had a heart-softening effect, thereby preparing the way and giving Inroads to Truth. It is to be hoped that this good work will become a fixture and carried on with increased | facilities. T.Yl KS TO YOl'NG WOMEN. Ke\. 'lr. Cii»hli R «iive- Them an Kinuiplt to Emulate. There w as a larg • assembly of hearers at the Fourth Street Methodist Church la-t evening, a large majority of whom were of the fair sex, drawn there to hear wtuu the pastor, Kev. C. W. Cush ing. might -ay in his special sermon on their sex. Considering tiie fact that Mr. Cushing's evening discourses of late have contained startling local revela tions every one present naturally expect ed tiie sermou to young women to be in tie* -ante line, and all were wondering what statistics would be read, and with extended orlis and wide-open ears were waiting to see in what novel and origi nal manner the subject would be dis posed of. And the congregation was naturally somewhat surprised when the pastor began his discourse by taking a book and reading the life of that noted his torical heroine in ecclesiastical warfare, Jean d’Aubert, tiucen of Navarre. While only a synopsis of herlifeeould be given with the limited time, enough was re cited to take up the hour of the service, and tso allusions whatever were made to loeal affairs. Still the life of this celebrated character could not but be interesting and instructive, and all present gave close attention. The idea of the pastor was to place a model before the young women of to day to emulate. .Mr. Cushing gave the various lessons taught by the career of th:> heroine, among other- being that in regard to the sanctity of marriage. Jaen d’Aubert taught that it was a -acred relation, and that when entered into for any other purpose titan love, marriage was only another name for prostitution. The pastor then spoke of the flimsy excuses some people gave for neglecting to enter into religious life. How selti-h it seems when we only neglect our sacred duty simply because we will have to -acrillcea little social religion. How many women there are in society to-day whose* judgments and consciences tell them thut they ought to Ik* devoted to Christian duties, but who are mere baubles of an hour of pleasure. What an Influence the wo men of Wheeling as a whole might ex ert. if they would, upon the society of ; this city. 1 fancy young women do not know the power within their reach. 1 | ant glad the great majority of women arc more nearly right than society as a whole, but what we need is the great j aggregate of forces to combat this so-j dal evil. YK GIDDY DA.XCKliS, UK VD. Ke*. Mr. Frown* on tke Waltz anti Da nor* in Urnrrwl. Kev. F. A. Hopkins delivered two spe cial sermons yesterday, at the Disciples Church, and the edifice was well tilled on both occasions. In the morning, the j subject of his discourse was “The Devil in Modern Society." In the evening the congregation was composed largely of yon eg men and women. Following is a synopsis of the sermon on “Dancing:”' “\\*e need amusements. Man is the only animal that laughs, and Cod must have intended when Ho gave him that faculty that he should use it. It is a mistake to suppose that religion i* dark ; and forbidding, and restrains us from doing all those things to which our in-1 clinations lead. “There are some amusements in which we cannot indulge without danger of being contaminated. I do not say you 'hall or shall not engage in popular amusements— the responsibility lies en tirely with you. ‘ The character of our amusements - :■ salt th< fashion id the times. Tio gladiatorial combats and bull lights nave siveu place to theatrical pleasures, progressive euchre, tiddlely winks and dancing, all of which are relies of bar barism. These in turn must give way, for they Hill not stand the light of the scripture test. “Do l say dancing is wrong? It may mean the mere play of children, or tho exercising of the feet alone, accompa nied by music. L'uder such conditions it is not: it is the modern round dance, y the giddy waltz, to which wo object. i>r. Lyman Beecher says that the danc ins spoken of In the Bible was a relig ious act. practised exclusively on joyous occasions in the open air by maklon3 only, and that no record can be iound in Scripture of dancing indulged in by both sexes. ,, ., , ••Dancing could be properly divided into three classes—the parlor dance, the ball, and the stage, one loading to the other The tendencv in all dancing is toward evil. Many indulge In dancing, goinst lrorn bad to worse, who would not do that which would immediately take them away from the church. They do not realize their danger. No city is >o given up to dancing as Wheeling. “There is something in the dance mu sic. which in itself will stir and thr.il you, and arouse tiie passions. Then there is the barroom, which is connect ed with almost every ball room, and is ouc of the most potent influences for evil. The hand of the man whom you would not touch on the street, swing your daughter in the dance, lhe dane t ing master also is there. Would you invite him to your home? Would you permit your daughter to marry him? Would it not be considered an incongruous match? That the grat ification of the passions is the princi pal charm and attraction of dancing, is admitted by all dancers. The attitudes in some of the dances arc such that a man would be arrested if caught on the street in the same posi tion. A great many ladies ar«' injured in health by the gauzy dresses tlisy wear, which ar<' positively indecent. No lady should dress in public in a way she would not be found in her home. Im agine a man praying in the midst of women, at a full dress ball! The late hours at which the crowds at the balls disperse, and the dancing itself, which Is usually carried to the extreme, are unhralthful. The average young man attends balls for the gratification of his sensual feelings. Shall we dance? My answer to that question is thi>: If, before you go to a ballroom, you get down on your knees, and when you leave the intoxications of the ballr.. and in your chamber lay a-ide your gaudy robes, and can drop down on your knees and thank tlod that He led you to this place of amusement, then my answer is. yes. If this is not the cast*, then keep away from those haunts of sin and vice. SMALL TALK. Minor Matter* of Interest llrletly ami Pithily Told. In H. E.

Oil Operations in the Interior—Fatal Accidents— Death of a Soldier of Napoleon—A Gang of Robbers Come to Grief. It is rumored that Donnally, Hogue, and Patrick, the recent purchasers or the property of the . Riverside Iron i Works Co., in Kanawha county, will probably commence operating the same at an early day. A thorough examina tion of this property by experts, under the direction of the present owners, | shows it to be a very valuable one. It j consists of about five hundred acres of j bottom land. The hill land is under* 1 laid by the celebrated Campbell’s creek j vein of coal, showing an average thick ness of over seven feet of pure coal. This is the same vein worked on the north side of the river by the Pioneer j Coal Company and the Campbells Creek Coal Company, whose output lias established an enviable reputation, j and is considered one of the best of the Kanawha coals. Sections of the vein on this property have been taken at va ] rious points by the present owners; and it is fully demonstrated that it under lies the entire body of their hill land and has its floor on a level with the base of the hill, thus covering the entire av erage. The royalty value of their seam I of coal alone on this five hundred acres ; figures up something over eight hun dred thousand dollars. Besides it is | said there are other minor veins higher up in the Hill, one about four feet thick. ( Tlie oil well on Mill Creek, of Elk, lo cated on the Wiseman farm, some six ! miles up Elk, has been abandoned. Mr. j Ward, who has been superintending the [ work of drilling there, told a Gazette re ; porter last night that they had con cluded there was no oil there and had given up the well. “We have gone I fifty feet into the sand," said he, “and have found no oil to speak of. I thought: at first we would get a paying well, but i I was mistaken. I had about concluded I to take out the casing, but will j wait to consult other members of the company before doing so." Mr. Ward says the well is now down 57.1 feet, .Ml of which is in the sand. The company which Mr. Ward | is at the head of lias the derricks ready ; for another well on little Sandy. Work ! was begun there last Monday and a well will be sunk at once. The llukill Com pany of Oil City, Pa., of which W. M. Lccky is manager, is also putting down a well on Sandy. The Hatch Oil Com pany, which abandoned the well at Winfield, is now drilling on Hon. C. W. | Cargill's land a few miles back of Win field. The Augusta Oil Co. is now drilling near Red House just opposite Winfield. The well oil the Ilmen farm, I twenty-live miles from Winfield, has (come, and oil is running over the top of j the well. Governor Fleming has pardoned Rob ert Sidebottom, who is serving n two years’ sentence in liie penitentiary. I Robert was an orphan, a mere boy of about 13 years, and stole about $000 from a man in Boone county, who had been his father’s partner, and who, lie ■ was told, owed him some money. He i was convicted in Boone county in 1888 and sentenced to two years in the pen. The application for pardon was sup ported by eight of the jurors who tried the case, by .1. E. Chilton, who was Prosecuting Attorney at the time, by the Clerks of both the courts of Boone -county, by th«- person from whom he stole the money, by a number of mem bers of the liar and by 150 citizens. The Governor thinks the case one de serving of Executive clemency and has granted a pardon. From the confession of Convict Frey ' made to Superintendent Van Pelt and Detective Lucas, and in talk with some of the Penitentiary guards.it appears that the Jefferson county band of rob bers was well organized and operated extensively in this State and Maryland. There were from eighteen to twenty of them, all young men, and some of them I being of respectable families and appar ently above suspicion. They would steal in this State and dispose of their plun der in Maryland. Then they would i steal in that State and bring their booty ! into this State and dispose of it. Five i»f the band are already in the Peniten tiary, and Detective Lucas says at least ; ten more will be sent up. On last Saturday evening John Per kins was killed by being thrown from a mule he was riding near his home on Steer Creek, lie was on his return home from town and was accompanied by two of his sons. Night overtook them on the way. Mr. Perkins was carrying a cross-cut saw on his shoulder | and the saw catching in some brush scared the mule and it started to run away. He was thrown from the mule, falling on his head. His sons, who were riding in front, came to where their Jatln r had been thrown and found that he was dead. The fall broke his skull and killed him instantly. It is thought that his neck was also broken.
