Deaths.-Mr George X. YontZ, one
of the most respected of Shepherdstown
young men, died at his home in this
place last Thursday morning. His death
was not unexpected, as he had been
suffering for some months from threat
consumption. Mr.. YOntz had been EN-
ployed as superintendent in the New
Dominion Paper Mill since it has been in
charge of Van Alstyne & Ryan, bat was
obliged to give up work there early Ia
the fall. His death in the prime of life
being but 81 years old-is shock to
his many friends and his own family.
He leaves a wife and an infant girl,
who have the sympathy of the entire
community. The funeral services took
place in the Lutheran Church, and Il
very large number of persons were
present as a mark of respect to the de-
ceased.
The people of Shepherdstown and vi
cinity were again shocked on Monday
by learning of the death of Mr.. John
X. Hill, a well-known and worthy
young farmer of this neighbOrhood.
Mr.. Hills death was very sudden one.
He had had an affection Of the heart for
several years, but had recently grown
much better, and, in fact, wis feeling
so well that lie had made arrangements
to pay visit this week to his sister in
Pennsylvania. Monday morning he
seemed to be as well as usual, and the
members of the family had no idea Of
the shock that awaited them. He was
left alone i'm his room for minute, and
the next person that entered found him
lying upon the floor, dead. His death
had occurred instantaneously. OfcourSe
his family are overwhelmed with grief
at their great loss, but they know they
have the heartfelt sympathy Of every
one in the neighborhood, who knew and
loved him. He leaves wife and three
children and large circle of relatives
to mourn his loss. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. ID. NJ. Moser,
and the remains were inferred in Elm
wood Cemetery. May he rest in peace.

ADVICE TO GENTLEMEN.
To Be Read With the Hope That 1t Does
Not Apply to Yourself, Your Friends or
Your Relatives.

To Be Read With the Hope That 1t Does
Not Apply to Yourself, Your Friends or
Your Relatives.
The following article has been sent us
with the request to publish it. We trust
it does not apply to any of the relatives
or friends of our readers: Allow me to
give some advice to gentlemen from
twenty to forty years of age, who can
see so many faults in the opposite sex
and none in their own. As it has now
become fashionable for gentlemen to
express publicly their disapprobation of
the dress, manners, habits and educa-
ton of the female community at large,
think we ladies, in justice to ourselves,
are now called upon to retaliate, and
also should be permitted to make public
our opinions of the sort of men which
we would, and would not like to marry.
The moral, sensible, steady, industrious,
honorable man, who can work for
living, besides putting his hand to any
little manly job about his own house,
such as mend a chair or table, paint
a door, plaster a fire-grate, white
wash the ceiling, paper the bedlsom,
clean his own boots, and be a
gentleman withal in company, is just
the sort of man for me or any sensible
lass to marry. But your empty
headed, self-conceited, starch-necked,
cigar-smoking, brandy-drinking, money
hunting, lady-killing, lazy, lounging,
selfish, plotting. scheming, mean, de-
ceiving, pomatum plastered animals,
who call yourselves Lords of Creation,
you're no more fit for matrimony than
spider is to command a regiment.
The fact is, my dear fellows, you want,
generally speaking, more common
sense and less puppyism. more knowl-
edge and less foppery, more manliness
and less impudence, more honor and
less falsehood, more brains and less
mustache! Shave off your mustaches
and be more like men and less like
monkeys; throw away your cigars and
walking-sticks. take useful book into
your fingers and try if you can pick up
a bit of common knowledge, so that in
time you may learn to be what the God
of Nature designed. | submit the above
to the Albert-chained, wash-pinned,
brass-ringed, false-fronted, gambling,
horse-betting paragons of wit, fashion
and frivolity, who are looking out to
catch any rich woman who could be
fool enough to marry them. And, Sc
riously speaking, it is much to be de-
plored that such creatures as these,
without affection, knowledge, means,
or useful capability whatever, should be
selected for husbands, and change in
this order of things is contamination
devoutly to be wished for Western

WIND AGAINST STEAM.
A Race Between an Ice-Boat and r.
Railway Express Train.

Race Between an Ice-Boat and a Fast
Railway Express Train.
E. Vinton Blake contributed a capital
story of ice-yachting on the Hudson to
the 81. Nicholas, from which we print
the following vivid account of trial of
speed between an ice-yacht and the fast
express.
There is roar and rush behind
them. What nextP
THE down train! The boys look over
their shoulders as the big black monster
shoots past. The whistle blows sharp
| ly; there are handkerchiefs waving
from the windows. The ice-yacht is
just now holding nearly across the
river.
as A race! a race, boysn cries the
skipper, as he gives quick turn of his
hand, with sheer and a spring they
are off after the train.
''Now the race-the race, boys!
Steam against wind! How they fly!
Everything is blurred and melted to-
gether and indistinct The ice is all a
| BLUSH white haze, with that diamond
| sparkle from the runners blazing up.
1.-The windows of the train are filled
with heads; they seem to shout to the
party on the ice-yacht, who hear only
the rush of the wind and the runners.
| The wind increases; the boat rears
| higher; the windward rnnner cut fierce
ly through the air, and the crushed ice
flies in shower. Almost up with the
train, now; and creeping on!
''Will the wind hold? But never fear;
this is no flaw, but a steady gale. 1t
seems as if the black train was slowing
up; yet not is the yacht which is fly
ing faster, literally on the wings of the
wind. And nova crack in the ice
ahead!
THE skipper raises himself and scans
the ice with eagle eye. An old hand at
ice-yachting is he.
1--we can do it, think, he says.
sNow, brave 'Rondinan And the
train sees the crack, too; the ears seem
alive all their long length with
heads and gestures and warning shouts.
Do they think everybody is asleep there
on that light, flying, feathery wanderer?
higher by full six inches than the lower;
and between swirls the black, treach-
erous water. They are upon it.
"Whiz!-Splash-as the edge-ice says
and the runner catches the cold tide.
There is wild, tremulous swing and
sway a toss of the windward runner,
and the crack is far asteru. How the
train cheers! And look, now, the black,
snorting engine falls behind! Wind
against steam! Give them three cheers,
boys, and swing your caps, and hold
fast while you are about it. The traci
is clear ahead; the locomotive whistle.
the yachts victory. Faster-faster-
ftill there is only the ring of the runners,
the roar and rush of the wind, the
tremble and leap and swing and swa3
of the hayward craft

Dutch Sign-Boards.

The Dutch have the reputation Of
being commonplace and wholly i'm
mersed in business. Yet Holland has
produced learned scholars, great paint
ers and noble champions of human
rights. A traveller found even the sign.
on Dutch streets interesting, because
indicative of the originality of the PEG
pie. He says:
1t was some time before l understood
what was meant when l read fire and

people make no fires, but buy boiling
water and red-hot turf With which tc
prepare their tea and coffee.
If baby is born small placard Of
red satin and white lace is hung upon the
door; if some one is sick, his symptoms
are daily recorded on a little bulletin
board affixed to the house. thus saving
those interested the trouble Of making
and replying to inquiries.
The country houses are decorated
with legends. The retired gentleman
seems anxious that all the world should
know of his content. So he paints in
huge letters on the front of his house
such sentiments as these: without

The Art of Making Gifts.

In giving gifts let us consult minds
and moods. 1t is not always literally
the thing itself which is given that tells.
1t is the temper and domain of its re-
ception. Ii there is not the proper
breadth in the mind or potentially for
it, we must mediate to the condition
with which we are to communicate.
We can prompt and stimulate the slow
mind, but we must not go beyond its
possible approach. In gifts, as in elo-
quence and thoughts, the pc arl of value
lies in adaptation. One must mingle
his thought and his personality some
how and in some way with his success

Elder Toota Meets with an Accident, and
Brother Gardner Philosophers.
AS the meeting opened there was
strong smell of burning meat in the hall,
and the echoes of the triangle had
scarcely died away when Elder Toots
made break for the door in . way to
upset half dozen different members and
bring down another large piece of plas-
ter from the ceiling. He had gone TO
sleep with his foot on the hot stove 10
thaw ont the chilblains. They had
thawed, and the heat had worked down
through five years layers of cement and
got at the real flesh. When the excite
ment had been allayed, and the keeper
of the outer door had reported that the
Elder was down in the alley with both
feet in a barrel of ice water, Brother
Gardner said:
