This community was surprised and saddened Monday morning to learn that Miss Violet l.. Barnes, only daughter of Calvin B. Barnes, had died of typhoid fever, at o'clock on Sunday evening, at her home between this village land Clayton. She was 13 years of age. Her birthday occurred within the past week. For the past seven months she has attended school at Greenville, N. J., and returned home only eight days before her death. Violet was beloved by all who knew her and she was as gentle and unassuming as the lovely flower of the same name She was 0 delicate but beautiful child and her friends have always affectionately called her "Dolly." She was not considered dangerously i'll until the day before her death. Her parents have unlimited sympathy in their great and sudden bereavement. The funeral will be atten- ded at the Pilgrim church at 2.3O o'clock this Wednesday, afternoon. Interment at the lower cemetery.

HUncle Jack.o

Last Thursday night good sized
audience assembled at Academy
Hall to witness the production of
"Uncle Jack; or Testing Hearts,,
which was given under the auspices
of the young ladies of the Presby-
terrain church. Messrs. H. G. Stoetz-
err, A. B. Smith, j. E. Peck and
Misses Mary Casselberry, Madge
Brown, Bessie Murphy. Edna Hough
and several children constituted the
dramatis persona. 1t is a comedy
in three acts, representing many diff
ferent phases and circumstances in
life, with great moral and warning
to those putting money value on
everything, character and esteem
included The selection of partici-
pants was good, each doing his
particular role in approved style, in
fact the acting of all was very COM
mendable and at many times the APP
plause was most vociferous and en-
thusiatic. The stage was probably
arranged in better style than ever
was known before, which proved to
be an attractive acquisition to the
entertainment. After the conclu-
sion Of tile comedy one act farce,
entitled "a Pretty Piece of Bust
ness" was given, participated in by
J. b. Clark, A. i. Thayer and Misses
Edna Hough, Mary Ollie and Nettie
Nye. 1t was a success and produc-
ed roar after roar of laughter.
About $50 was cleared, which was
presented to the church. 1t had
been long time since "home talent
had done anything on the stage and
the talent displayed on this occasion
was highly appreciated by the de-
lighted audience.

Might Have Been Worse.

Monday at noon A. G. Magruder
and Miss Irene Myers returned from
horseback ride, and stopping at
Prof. Myers they were importuned
by Ralph Davis and Fannie Berke-
ley to take the horses to the livery
stable. The little people mounted
and when near DIR. Casselberry's res
idence the horses started off in trot.
This seemed to scare the riders and
both let go the reins and held to their
saddles, the horses increasing their
speed and when passing the Wallace
house were tearing down street as
hard as they could 60. Arriving at
the Court house the horses got on
the pavement to make a near cut
down the alley to Caracas stable
and in turning the corner. miracu-
lous as it is, both the youthful riders
were tumbled on the sand pile there,
neither, fortunately, being much
hurt Fannie rolled out of the sand
pile into the gutter and about the
only injury she sustained was from
being we'll plastered with mud.
Ralph got up and walked home. 1t
is fortunate that the fall was where
it happened.

University Notes.
By our Regular Reporter

There is talk of terracing the river
front of the campus. This would all
be very nice, but it would seem more
consistent to keep the briars cut off
the entire lot, and the grounds about
the building better cared for. Some
body is either in the wrong place or
not in the right place.
Prof Myers is displaying some
aesthetic taste in the arrangement of
the new building and its appurten-
ances.
The Sophs. made move in the
right direction Saturday evening, by

who has the honor to be called the

have heard of things being organized

The contest in defamation of the

Because some ill-bred students
were caught tearing upside down a
fellow students room, by the owner
of the house and reported by him,
others fully as thoughtless in their
views of propriety join in ridicule.
Such actions merit, and we are glad
to say, receive the condemnation of
every thoughtful student who has a
feeling of respect for his fellowmen.
A short rule for spelling was given

The most difficult sentence the
French class has dealt with recently,
to get it into good French is, "who

Coffman had it, Corbly bit it, Gal

took it, Jolliffe replaced it, Lemley
removed it, Post examined it, Ross
analized it, Shafier carried it off and
Sivey told it. At last account the
ink bottle was smoking a cigar and
Alexander's room had an extra plug

What an attentive geology class!
Delightful study! Would not miss

so great, that he is doubtless devel-

the other day, shat wherever you
go in this State you smeet young
man frem Morgantown, either ma
tive, or student, who is leading
citizen.
"He generally meets you at the
depot and seems to have the keys OF
the town and is ready to show you
through. His introduction gives
you the entree to whatever circle of
society you want to meet. He is al
ways respectable, always thrifty and
always on top.

first man / saw was Eliza Sheets, who
five years ago, left Morgantown q

chandizing, that he is member Of

Der of the leading church, lives in
his own house in first-class style,
and in a greater or less degree runs
the town.
"That's not surprising" continued
the Professor, "when you reflect that
he is a Morgantown boy, but it would
be exceptional in any boy from any
other place.
"The fact is that in few years
more Morgantown, with the aid OF
the University, will have sent out
enough young men to take the State.
What they don't gobble up won't

/ Below is an account Of the caper.
cut at various points in the East BY
q fly Young man whose home war
formerly in this county. His name
is Z. w. Hildebrand, instead Of Hill.
debron as given on his card, one Of
which was sent to this Office by q
gentleman from Wilmington. Del,
who had suffered from young Hide
brands sharp practices. He is a
son of the late Henry Hildebrand
who was quite an honest and respect
able man. 1t is very much to be re-
GREETED that he has brought such re-
proach upon his friends. The story
is clipped from the Wilmington,
Delaware, Republican of April 8.
Here it is:
Some time ago young man came
TO this city and secured board with
Mrs. c. L. Story. No. 703 King street.
He represented himself as belonging
at Morgantown, West Virginia, and
said that he was a student at the
West Virginia University. He gave
his name as w. Z. Hildebron, and
said that he was an agent for pal
mer's Guide to Muscular Movement
in Penmanship." To all appear
ances he was "a very nice young
man." and he formed number of
acquaintance, among them being
the Rev. William I. Tull. The lat
ter is the agent for the book entitled
"Why Priests Should We'd" and as
Hildebron expressed desire to be
come sub-agent, and exhibited let
tiers of recommendation from several
prominent men, Mr.. Tull concluded
to let him have stock of the books.
Hildebron left here Saturday,
March 9th, and few days later Mr..
Tull sent him $50 worth of books.
He afterwards commenced to get an
inkling of the fellows true charac-
ter, and upon learning that he owed
Mrs. Storey $40 and DIR. Smith IS,
made an Intellectual attempt to re-
cover his books. Upon pursuing his
Investigations Mr.. Tull found that
when Hildebron reached Philadel-
phia he secured board, through rec
ommendation from the Y. M. G. A.,
at Mrs. L. j. Kunitz's, No. 222
North Thirteenth street, but after
remaining there two weeks at rs a
week suddenly decamped without
paying his bill From Philadelphia
Mr.. Tull traced him to West Chess
ter, where he obtained board with
Mrs. j. Lear ON Saturday, March
23d. While he was in that town
Mr.. Tull wrote to the chief of police,
who replied that he saw him every
day and that Mr.. Tull could get him
by coming there. Hildebron re-
NAMED in West Chester about one
week, and then left as suddenly as
he came, and as usual forgot to pay
his board bill, which amounted to
$40. He also took the key of ward
robe along with him.
This was last Saturday, and yes
terday Mr.. Tull learned that he is,
or was at that time, in Philadelphia,
but it is scarcely probable that he
will remain there long.
Mr.. Tull wrote to the President of
the West Virginia University, and
has received reply, stating that he
does not know the man, and is posi-
tive that he was never student at
that institution. While in this city
he tried to obtain suit Of clothes
from p. J. Walsh d Co., but was un-
successful. Hildebron is about %
years Of ago, 5 feet 81 inches in
height, light complexion, and has an
impediment in his speech. While
in this city he wore light clothes,
but did not wear an overcoat.
