COMMITTED TO JAIL.-Geo. Green
a white youth from Martinsburg, w.
Va, aged % years, was committed to
Jail by Constable James Stottlemyer on
Sunday, charged with disturbing public
worship at Hopewell meeting. A pre-
liminary trial was had at the Jail on
Monday morning, and the case was sent
ON to the grand jury.
Every business house and manufac-
turing establishment in and around this
city signed a petition last week to the
President and Directors of the Cumber
laad Valley Railroad, asking that the
road may be extended from Martins
burg to Winchester. Tue petition sets
forth that said extension will be of mu-
tual benefit to the company and to Win
chester generally, but especially to its
commercial and manufacturing inter
ests. We hear the principle obstruction
to the extension has been removed by a
decision favorable to the road made by
the West Virginia Court of Appeals in
q case which has been pending for some
time Winchester Times.

BROKEN OPEN. = Early Sunday

BROKEN OPEN. Early Sunday
morning last the barber shop of Mr..
Lewis Lambert was broken open, and
about twenty razors stolen. The
shop had been kept open uutil II O'Clock
on Saturday night. On entering the
shop the next morning, it was quite a
surprise to Mr.. Lambert to find the
doors standing open and the glass brok-
en- out. Officer O'Neal, who has ever
watchful eye, caught the four thieves
on the same day. Tramps have been
plentiful in our city, for several weeks
past, and the four connected in the
stealing were certainly fine specimens
of that tribe.

THE INDI4N PRoRLEM.

The demonstration of the Indian
problem was again theoretically given
at the seventh annual commencement
of the Carlisle Industrial Training
School Each succeeding year
strengthens and substantiates the be
lief that the only method of solving
this question is that which operates
through the medium of education-if
the younger generations are allowed |
to roam over the track of the buffa-
10, if they are permitted to grow up
in the vestiges Of their fathers, assu-
redly the United States government
is amendable for their acts of violence
which must necessarily follow from
such conditions but fortunately the
downward tendency has been check
ed, the children are being trained in
education and taught various trades.
The mind is receiving attention as
we'll as the body-the greater the IA
cilities afforded for rounding the for
mer, the greater the benefits that will
accrue from the mechanical part of
the latter.
The opponents of the educational
method, however, are apprehensive of
the future results, in proof of which
they are won't to adduce the theory
that mental improvement tends to
make the Indian more formidable in
the strategam of war, fashions him q
more astute creature and renders him
in every respect a ''foeman worthy
of his steel" but the history of the
Indians who have graduated from the
training schools, answer and refutt
the adherents of this theory, The
educated Indian, loathing his former
barbarous haunts, has stemmed tht
tide of his nations propensites anC
converted it into generous, well
meaning humanity. Ee has forsaker
his pristine enjoyments and now aims
his blows for the amelioration of hi
fast failing race. He has created
schools, established churches, anC
transformed the miserable wigwan
into a habitalble log house.
BY disseminating the doctrines in
culcated at school he thereby, in
measure, moulds and shapes the fu
ture of his brethren, for the child i
father to the man, and as the nation
must either advance or recede, there
fore, by instilling into the younge
generations the advantages of train
ed mind, he makes the race more ca
pable of self government, on accoun
of the lack Of which manifold evil
have resulted, and by thus creating
a desire for instruction after tn
"white mans method" one stride j
taken toward the great goal Of civil
zation

THE following was sent i'll among

Well, Hart comes and auntie thanks
him, and SO do l, and Ethel, too, poor:
child, with tears in her blue eyes. 1t.
is strange how ones mind can altar!
/ can scarcely believe that / ever
could have considered Hart Holman,
much the same as any gentleman of
my acquaintance. He Is hero i'm my
eyes now. He laughs when intimate,
as much TO him, for he says his laurels
were gained in very unheroic man
ner; but he Is pleased at my avowal,
nevertheless. and taking courage, re-
ours to former conversation that
once took place between Us.
First l was q friend 20 you, Joan,
then q brother, now hero--dear, do
you not think it possible that the
future may bring still further changes,
that you may grow to care for me-if
only littlep"
mot at all. Hart" l say impetu-
ously, laying both hands in his.
Never n little, for 4 care Tor you
more than that.now. 1T is true, Hart,
and l have known it ever since you
took oflense at me and punished me
for my indifference by staying away.
1t was punishment, and through
missing you first learned how much,
very much, dearer than either friend
or brother you were to me.
So, after all, / am married before
my beautiful cousin, much TO every
ones surprise.
Ethel vows she will be an old maid
that she has lost all confidence in
the truth and honor of the other sex
Hart being excepted. But girls have
vowed that before, end eighteen is
prone to rash prophecies.
1t is good, as i have found il, to
have friend in need; but it is better
still, as L find it every day l live, to
have a true hearted husband, within
the shelter OF whose love earthly ills
lose half their sting, and joys seem all
the sweeter for being shared.

THE WINTER SEA.

From horizon to horizon
The mountt d waves come madlv on.
Their FURNISHED armor CLEANS afar.
IDey leap across the out bar,
Aud o'er the oceans level plan
In one long furious gallop strain
Up, up the st and the dark blue ranks
With plumed helms, and foam Hecked aanks,
And to the onset plunge and leap
Ihe aimed coursers Of the deep.
But knight and steed 90 down bofore
The solid lines that ho.d the shore.
They rally even as they fall
AT the winds whistling bu lie call.
Again they come All, never yet
Were words to such wild music set.
With faunting guidous of the foam,
And white-capped sabres on they come.
But see the squadrons fall away
ehivered against that rampant gray,
And grasping tight to shivered blade
The knights fall back; but undismayed
Return, and, giving blow for blow,
All the long winter charging so.

A FRIEND IN NEED.

Ethel and / are cousins, and both or
phans; but, as is frequently the case
with daughters of one race" we are
as unlike as we we'll can be, for while
she is decidedly ''farer in the face"
she is an heiiess as well. AS to dis
position, there we differ, too; for,
while am spunky-so aunty mildly

own which is frequently asserted, she
is yielding, gentle-amiabilty itself.

Piled, without hesitation.
Now, nothing had been further from

fused five offers of marriage, although
she has just passed her eighteenth
birthday. l am twenty, and have had
as yet not one single proposal.

elegant equipagc draws up at the gate,
and the veritable individual under dis
cussion alights. He has come to take

drive off with sensation of discom-
fort strong in my mind.
Not because l am jealous OF her SUI
perior attractiveness-a thousand
times no! l love my cousin and an
prouder of her beauty than she is her

that of all her admirers Ethel likes hin
the best, and that he Is not the true

the happiness her tender loving hear
deserves. Seeking auntie | pour ou
