well entertained is paying the high

wonder and surprise when the We
hicles rolled up and were found to
contain nine young "bipeds," curl
ously attired in the latest style of
mems clothing. 1t seems that some
of the dry goods merchants of Nor
gantown had sent them out as adver-
Using mediums. The queer little
creatures, by their antic movements,
created quite good deal Of amuse
mcnts for the children, and as they
somewhat resembled men they were
closely observed by the young ladies
of the town, but admired" by only
few. The other girls seeming to
think five dollar hats on ten cents
worth of brains were not compatible.

BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.
The new flag pole was raised last

The Armory is undergoing som,

The lonely tread Of the sentinel is
nightly heard at the University, and

turbs the sweet slumber of the neigh
bors.
The cadets had artillery practice
with blank cartridges Friday even

Ed. S. Elliott returned to Morgan.

Prof. White examined his class

This was the last examination of the

The coming performances of the
Seniors and Juniors are undergoing
the customary rehearsal, and at any
time Of day tones of eloquence may
be heard issuing from the college
hall We suppose that Greece and
Rome will receive the usual atten-
ton from them.
The Professors have at last an
nounced the standing of the students
for the year. At the report some
faces are smiling and others are very
long.
A joke, in the shape of bogus
program, even if it is little cutting.
if it is of the proper kind, is not I'M
pleasant. But the case is quite diff
fereht when the lack of wit is made
up in vulgarity and the very essence
of depravty. The students from
whose foul brains emsnated the in.
decent and repulsive ehusion of
blackguardism that was scattered
through the town Monday morning,
doubtless thought they were giveing
the public something wonderfully
witty. But the production was so
fiat, foul and loathsome that all
condemned it. 1t bore several marks
that made its authorship not uncer-
tain. An application of the cleansing
waters of the Monongahela might do
the foul mouthed creatures good.

PAsTRY WITHOUT BUrrER.-ZThe
American pie has been subjected to
more unjust abpNse srasY foreign writ
ers thsh any other of our distinctive
prkMucts, if we except the recent til
Fade against the Anglican hog. And
yet we cannot say has been alto
gether undeserved, because OF the
villainous compound thick, hardIand
heavy, that is too oflen madeto do
duty as ''crust,' and which by
courtesy is called pastry" Light,
tender, faky, and digestible pie.crust
and all kinds of pastry can be made
most readily by the useAof ROYAL
Baking Powder without any butter
or with half the usual portion, If pre-
ferred, or with small quantity OF
lard or other shortening as desired
Pie-crust thus made is much more
wholesome and digestible, besides
being more economical and easily
prepared. La--addition to saving
all the batter il desired, onc:tfiird
the-hour is also dispensed with, as
the crust is rolled that much thinner,
the leavening qualities of the Royal
Baking Powder remove any unpleas-
ant taste, rendering the crust as short,
sweet and pleasant rs if made from
the finest butter. Those who know
the appetizing qualities of the gen.
uine homemade American pie will
rejoice that by the aid of Royal Bak-
ing Powder in the pastry it can be
made quite as digestible as it is de
iicious.

This community was shocked on
Sunday upon the announcement of
the death of John W. Johnson, oldest
son of George W. johnson, which sad
event occurred at an early hour on
that morning. Although John had
been sick with fever for about three
weeks his death was not expected
until the solemn hour was at hand.
When informed that his end was
near, he looked up into his fathers
face and said: "Papa l have never
committed an act of which l am now
ashamed" He soon after became
unconscious and at 3 o'clock on Sun
day morning his spirit passed from
earth. John had always been good
boy. Among his associates he was
regarded as model of propriety in
everything He was Is years and 10
months old. The remains were
laid to rest in Oak Grove Cemetery
on Monday afternoon, followed by
large concourse of stricken relatives
and friends. The many floral trib-
utes were beautiful and appropriate
and showed to great degree the
high esteem in which the deceased
youth was held by all who knew him.
