Death of DR.. M. Efhnger.

The Lancaster, Ohio, Eagle, of the
9th. contains a notice of the death of
DIR. Michael Ef1inger of that place, in
which is embraced high tribute to his
character and attachments. He was one
of the oldest citizens of that place, and
after suffering for nine years from the
the effects of paralysis, he passed away
in the list year of his age. His father
Samuel Effinger. was born in Shenan-
doah county. Va, and his mother, Mary
Noble, in Maryland, and settled in Ian
caster in 1915, where he accumulated a
handsome property at his business of
tin and copper smith. DR.. Michael
Ef1inger, the son of Samuel, was given q
finished education, and became quite
eminent in his chosen profession of med
icine. He was a first cousin of Secretary
of the Interior J. w. Noble. and also
first cousin of the late Michael Harvey
Eflinger, of this place. He died rs he
had lived, a consistent member of the
Methodist church, in which denomina-
ton his father was a communicate, as
was his uncle, John Ef1inger, decd, of
Harrisonburg, the grandfather of j.
Fred. Effinger, of Staunton.

Death of Judge III. McCue

Judge J. H. McCue died at his resi-
denee in this place, on the 18th, after a
protracted illness, in the 9th year of his
age. He was born in Augusta county,
where his father. John McCue, ESQ.,,
held high place in the esteem and con-
fidence of the people. Judge McCue
was educated at Washington College,
studied law and practiced the profession
in Virginia during his entire life He re-
sided in Nelson county for a number of
years, and served as County Judge of
that county for several terms. He was a
gentleman of extensive reading, pro-
found legal attachments, and the soul of
honor. He enjoyed the confidence and
friendship of the community in a re-
markable degree, and probably no man
ever numbered more true and sincere
friends than he did.
His wife, who survives him, was Miss
Wills, of Amherst county. His living
children are thu ee sons and four daugh-
tiers, all of them single save one, and four
of them. w. T. McCue and three sisters,
reside with the family.
The late hour at which we heard of the
death of our old and much esteeme1
friend compels us to defer fuller and
more appropriate reference to his char.
acter and life.

The Photograph.

The Edison photograph is the most
wonderful machine yet in use. 1t is q
very simple looking piece of machinery
1t looks like an oldfashioned sewing
machine and is worked by a treadle. A
part OF the very simple works is a spring
catch, into which is placed a cylinder
inches long and about an inch in diane
ter, covered with a black waxy substance.
Attached to the machine, and when ad-
justed. resting on the cylinder. is a cir
cular piece of metal, containing the deli
cate mechanism by which the sounds
and words of the human voice are in
delibIy fixed on the surface of the cylin-
der. When the machine is properly fixed
the speaker talks through tube attach
ed to the metal piece above described In
this piece of metal is pointed instrument
which, when the machine is put in rapid
motion by the treadle, makes indenta-
lions on the wax surface of the cylinder,
which are made corresponding to the
wave sound of the human voice. lust as
the sound is produced in the human ear.
w l1tu tIIc COI1N CTSitllOn mas DGeQ con-
veyed to the cylinders the speaking tube
is removed, the metal piece containing
the knife is turned back and off the evil
Under and another attachment with a
brush-like termination is turned down on
the cylinder. By the rapid revolution
of the cylinder again the new attach
ment reproduces the exact words and
sounds which have been made on the
cylinder. Two lawyers sat at the ma
chine and took dispositions by asking
and answering some of the usual cues
tions. The exact tones of the voices
were thus reproduced, and each word
! was clear and distinct. The cylinders
when once charged with their messages
may be used indefinitely. and NAV be
boxed up and sent any distance, where
the exact words and tones of the voice
may be reproduced. Music, messages of
affection, or of business, may thus be
made without the possibility of mistake.

Beautiful New Music.

We have received just fresh from the
4 publishers hands three very striking
/ musical compositions by q. w. Bryant
musical instructor at the w. L. l. Prof
Bryant's ability in this direction has
been Enthusiastically proven in past ef-
| forts, but nothing he has vet composed
/ breathes the same dainty lovliness as
1.-THE Brook" dedicated to his mother.
/ 1t is a veritable little musical, babbling
brook-the shrill, eddying murlnur of
/ it's treble made replete and given pur-
pose and meaning by the swelling minor
melody of the base breathing note here
and there and the chatter of it's little
sharps and trebles. The crescendoes.
too, are very fine and well wrought out,
producing the delightful effect of a
meandering streamlet which now chases
you down with its merry laughter, and
now barely audible in the haZy distance.
1.-THE Brook" is charming and not only
charming but striking in its originality,
demonstrating clearly the skill and talent
of the composer.
'sDawnng Shadows" and "Merri-
ment," both dedicated to Miss Allie M.
Iost, are two bewitching little gems.
The former u perpetual play Of light
and shadow, wierd as strain from elf
land. 1t is written in the form of a
tarantelle, and makes Il fine study The
latter is u striking contrast, and fairly
bubbles over with widest glee These
two are companion pieces, and are true
tone poems both in color, form and eX-
preston. The day of realistic compost
ton has at last arrived and G. w. Bryant
is undoubtedly q noteworthy exponent
of the art. He combines poetic i,nagi-
nation with a thorough mastery of the
science of music, thereby tempering
justice with mercy. He stands high in
the estimation of the first critics of the
day, and we predict for him brilliant
future.

r. L. Stratton & Co.

49, ~
The casual passer-by on north Augusta
street would hardly note the large stock
OF goods carried by r. L. Stratton & Co.,
at Nos. % and IS, SO quietly and syste-
matically is the extensive business of the
house carried on. This firm occupies
the ground floor and easements of the
two large storehouses in the Hamer
building. On the basement floors are
wet goods-molasses, fish, vinegar, &c.
On the first floor of No. % is a large
salt, flour, hay, mill feed and bacon.
The retail and jobbng business is done
on the first floor of No. 90 north Angus
ia street As you enter this room, which
is one of the largest in the city, your
attention is at once arrested by the inn
mense stacks of goods of all kinds, and
the large line of sample shelf goods. 1t
is worthy of note that neatness and Or
der prevail everywhere here to a re-
markable degree for a house carrying
this line of goods-canned goods of
every kind, sugars, coffees, teas, spices,
candies. nuts. and huge piles of peanuts,
cigars, smoking and chewing tobacco,
cotton yarns, wooden-ware and willow
ware of all kinds-in fact, everything
that is essential to Il complete line of
choice and select first-class groceries.
Mr. Robert l.. Stratton, the head of the
house, is Staunton boy, born and raised
here, and is a sef-made man. He has
the confidence and esteem of the entire
community in q marked degree, and his
successful business career points to him
as one of our best citizens-reliable, up
right, just and fair in all his dealings-of
whom our people can speak with conf
dence and pride, at home or abroad.
Mr.. Stratton is efficiently assisted in the
details of his business by Mr.. Jno Landes,
an Augusta county boy and favorably
known to all our people. The trade of
this, house is very large. 1t extends
along the lines of both the G. & O. and
b. Il .. r. r. s east and west, north and
south, and also to the counties of Au-
gusta, Rockingham, Rockbridge and
Highland of Virginia. and Pendleton, of
territory Mr.. Stratton sells to nearly
every country store. His business in
this direction is not the resultant of q
spasnodic effort but is of steady growth
from fair dealing, handling only the best
line of goods and a steady application to
business which carries with it at all
times the confidence of dealers, which
assures success. Orders sent to this
filled with a care and fidelity marked
solely by the interest of the purchaser
Mr.. Stratton gives special attention to
the jobbing business. and country mer-
chants will find it to their interest to call
on him or to send in their orders, which
will be executed with the same attention
as though purchased in person. In addi-
ton to the wholesale and jobbing bust
retail business. His delivery wagon is
seen at all times on our streets, deliver
ing packages. His arrangements for
meeting the wants of the city retail
interfered with by his wholesale and
jobbinS business The systematic or
dering of the whole establishment is
such that all the departments of trade
try merchants visiting Staunton should
not fail to call on Mr.. Stratton at No %
