BISMARCK DENIES IT.
lie Says the Diary Of Frederick as Pub
Iished is Not Authentic.

BERLIN, Sept 27-The Reichsanzerger
publishes this report to Emperor William
prepared by Prince Bismarck. l do not
consider the dairy in the form published
genuine The crown prince in 1870 did not
share in the political discussion. did
not have the kings permission to discuss
with the crown prince the more intimate
question of our policy because the king
feared it might lead to indlscretlon at ths
English court and harm our relations with
the German federated allies. 1t seems as
if the daily notes, or at any rate their
elaboration, were the work oil some
person in the crown princes retlnue.
listing the diary's accuracy especially re
markable is the chronological error made
in referring to warm discussion between
the future of Germany and the relations
between the emperor and the German
prince as occurring at Versailles.
This conversation occurred on September
3 at Donchory. The assertion in the
diary that the crown prince enter
tanned the idea of using force
against our federal allies and
violating the treaty is ca
lumny against our departed sovereign.
Just as little in accordance with the
fact is what the dairy says concerning
his attitude toward the imperial question
in 1866. The crown prince doubted whether
imperial federation would have been pos
sible or even useful in 1866 The declara-
ton of the popes infallibility was always
regarded by me with indifference.
This was less the case with the crown
prince [ considered it false move on the
part of the people and begged the crown
prince to let question rest. at any rate dur,
ing the war. The crown prince could
never have had that impression nor entered
that statement in his diary. l pursued
the question after the war. In view OF
these facts, do not consider the dairy as
published in the Deusch Rundsithan gen.
uine. Therefore, pray your majesty to
empower me to instruct the minister or
Justice to order public prosecution.

GRAND PARADE OF l. o. OF o. F.

Shepherdstown was treated, last
Thursday, April Goth, to one of the
most imposing scenes she has ever
witnessed, by the grand parade of
Odd Fellows. The occasion was the
celebration of the siXty-ninth anniver-
sary of this noble order The day was
well suited for the parade, clear and
warm, and after the cold weather
which proceeded was well fitted to
awaken the drowsy natures OF man
and fill our streets with anxious spec
tators. The |. O. of 0. F. of this place
has not been before the public for so
long that most every one was eager TO
see something of this part of our com
munity. At an early hour its mem-
bers were busy making preparations,
and at 100 p. III. the Marshal of the
dav, Jacob Wintermoyer, and his AS
sistant. ID. L. Rentch, began to form
the procession on King Street. 1t was
headed by our Silver Cornet Band, of
which our people may well be proud;
followed by Eureka Canton, of Mar
tinsburg. in full uniform, which was
admired by all for their beauty and
uniuueness; the other visiting Lodges
in procession were La Grange, of
Boonsboro, Md, Widely, of Charles
town, Virginia, of Harpers Ferry.
Gratitude. of Leetown, and Tuscoro-
ra. of Martinsburg After a parade
through the town the procession pro
ceeded to the NJ. +. Church, where
the large audience assembled were
treated to an excellent address by p.
Gano. p. Ct. NJ. OF Washington, ID. G.
Notable among the visiting brethren
was Ct. L. Hensell p G.. NJ, of Mar
tinsburg, who assisted in conducting
the ceremonies. The celebration was
grand success in every particular
and will be of benefit to Caledonia
Lodge of this place. The town was
well filled with our own people and
strangers and made us think that our
town would be alive and things would
be brighter if we had more celebra-
tions and music. II.

The Horse Market is Good.

For the past few weeks horse-buyers
from Maryland and Pennsylvania
have been purchasing many horses
from the farmers OF jefferson county,
especially in the neighborhood of
Shepherdstown. During the last
couple of years there has been nota-
BILE improvement in the horses raised
in this locality, and our farmers are
now reaping the benefit by the high
prices they obtain for the animals.
The number of buyers and the lively
demand for West Virginia horses has
the tendency to make the market bet
Ter than it has been for some time.

He Slaves Clean Enouqh Now.

About twenty years ago Dir. James
Dunn, of Martinsburg, made a VOW
that he would not shave until the
election of Democratic President.
When Cleveland was elected he was
not exactly convinced that his Democ-
racy was of the right stripe, and de
ferred the operation until he was sat
isfied of that fact On last Friday he
went to the barber shop OF Messrs-
Mann and Bell and said that he was
satisfied with Cleveland and expected
to see him elected again, and that the
beard might come off. His most init
mate friends hardly knew him after
the tonsorial operation had been per
formed,

that place, April oath. The hall was
filled to overfiowing with an intellect

" at eight o'clock the orchestra, con-
sisting of violins with organ accompa-
niment, played a beautiful overture,
after which at the ringing OF the bell
the curtain was drawn, disclosing the
school, banked upon the stage, whose
happy faces reminded us OF an I'M
mense bouquet of bright flowers.
Master Frank Trump stepped for
ward and delivered an impressive lit
tie prayer, after which the Salutatory
was read by Miss Pearl Thomas. The
programme consisted of recitations, so
finely rendered "a TO fully display the
natural talents for elocution, and also
the careful training which they had re-
ceived. Music, instrumental, vocal
solos. duets, and choruses.
Master Edward Turner and Miss
Sallie Ellis in their quaint, old-fash-
toned costumes, sang ''Dost Thou Love
me Sister RUTH so sweetly and with
so much earnestness that we half be-
lieved Edward meant his proposal TO
be not "only in fun The charades,
Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works and The
Lvceum.n were particularly good,
each part being perfectly adapted to
its impersonator, and acted in an easy,
natural manner John Trostle, as
president Burns could not be beat.
Before the closing of the exercises,
the President of the Board of Educa-
ton stepped forward and requested
the presence OF Miss Daisy 1antis, the
principal of the school, who was made
the recipient of two beautiful volumes
of poems in behalf of the officers and
patrons of the school, as testimonial
of the high appreciation in which she
is held by them, and also for the sat
isfact6rv manner in which she has
conducted the school.
We must certainly congratulate her
upon the perfect success of her work
in Kearnevsville. SPECTATOR.
