HEY Will Look Nice in TLahts.

Among the advertisements which
recently appeared in local paper
was one to the effect that young la
dy. upon sending % cents and her pho
tograph to a certain address in Tren-
ton, y. j., would have returned to her
i'm few days thereafter the photo
graph with one dozen miniatures
mounted upon cardboard. The bait
was eagerly swallowed by several
young ladies, and great was their de-
light at the miniatures thus to be OBJ
tanned at the nominal outlay of a
quarter of dollar The rejoicing,
however, has been brief, for it trans
pires upon investigation that the like
nesses so obtained by the New Jersey
firm will be attached to the bodies of
opera comique actresses in tights and
scant attire generally. and used as adj
vertisements for new brand of cigar
cites placed OH the market.
We copy the above item from an e1-
change. Quite a number of young
ladies from Shepherdstown sent their
photographs to the firm referred to,
and to say that they are now Mortified
but family expresses their feelings.
The boys are anXiously awaiting the
appearance of the new cigarette pic
lures, for they think it will be an in

of our most dignified young ladies set

Bold Robbers.

Bold Robbers.
The report o. most audacious rob
berry comes from Vanclevesville, in
Berkeley county. Last Saturday night
about o'clock three strangers enter
ed the store of Mr. James NJ. Billmyer,
just about the time he was ready to
close up. They asked for crackers
and cheese, which were furnished
them They then asked to see some
boots, and when Mr.. Billmyer stopped
over box to get pair one of the
villains struck him back of the head
with sand-bag, Telling him to the
floor. Two of the men then jumped
on him, while the third guarded the
door. They then took the money that
Mr.. Billmyer had in his pockets, which
only amounted to few dollars, and
demanded that he should tell them
where to get more. This he refused
to do, when they beat him about the
head in a most brutal manner. They
maltreated him for some time, en-
deavoring to extort money from him,
but finally left him when they found he
could not or would not yield up any
more. The rascals have not been APP
pretended, and it is supposed they
jumped a train and went on their way.

Old Hutch's Secret.

B.P. Hutchison, better known as Old
Hutch, astonished the world by the
manner in which he manipulated the
Chicago wheat matchmaking, tbs
said, the enormous sum of $4,000, 900
on his wheat deals, in less than q
month. Eccentric, possessed of little
education, his success seemed mar
veIlousl
His friends and those who know him
best were not surprised.
A prominent resident broker Of
Chicago, who knows him well, tersely
sums up Hu5chison in these words:
What he knows, he knows well, and
that's Old Hutch's secret"
We once heard prominent stock
operator, speaking of Jay Gould,
remark: He knew year ago what
the balance of us are just finding out.
Gould knows his business thoroughly
and we don't, else we, too, would be
Goulds.n
A noted manufacturer of certain
medicinal remedies has achieved a
world wide reputation simply because
he possessed thorough kowledge of
his business.
Enterprising and progressive, he was
not disposed TO rest content with the
introduction of the only genuine rem
edy for the prevention and cure of all
kidney and liver disorders, the name
and character of Warmers Safe Cure
being familiary known in every house
hold throughout the entire civilized
world-but he concluded TO further
benefit the world and revive some old
fashioned remedies which have, for a
period, been lost.
discovered, they are the Oldest,
the newest and the best.
Used when the Pilgrim Fathers land
ed, they have been much improved
upon and are now known as War
ner's Log Cabin Remedies" Chief
among them being Log Cabin Sarsa-
parilla," for the blood, and Log
Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy" a
tonic and stomach remedy.
Old Hutch's secret is worth its mil
lions of dollars to him, and millions Of
people in the United States will re-
joice that they are now enabled to
secure the best of those old time Log
Cabin Remedies through the use of
which our grandparents attained and
enjoyed rugged, healthy old age.

A Bio Break in the Canal.

Last Sunday night about midnight
there was bad break in the towpath
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal on the
five-mile level, about a mile above
Shepherdstown. A hole big enough to
put house in was washed out, the
break extending far below the bottom
of the canal. A leak had started along
a ledge of limestone rock that formed
the bottom of the canal, and after find
ingits way under the towpath itquick-
ly undermined a big section and car
ried it off with rush. The break was
about 80 feet wide and 25 feet deep.
Superintendent Biser soon had force
of men at work, but it was an awk-
ward piece of work to handle, and a
representative of the REGISTER was
informed that it. would take all of
this week to repair the damage.
