A Noble Wife.

The wife OF Senator Faulkner, of West Vir
ginia, who died last week, was noble woman
with the charming manners women OF noble
character sometimes lack which had endear-
| ed her in the short time of her residence here
! to large mum Der OF friends. 1t is not gener-
ally known, l believe, that during that
! famous night I'm the Force bill fight last win
! ter, when her husband, VINO was Senator
! Germans first lieutenant, held the floor
| from sunset until nearly noon, she played
] part as heroic as that Of any Roman matron.
When the senator left his home on Capitol
Hill. facing the Capitol, the morning of that
dav. he told his wife that he would probably
have ITO hold the fort, just as he afterward
did. His wife fully appreciated the situation
and so when their little child, who was per-
fectly well in the morning, fell suddenly
i'll towards evening, and got worse and
worse until from midnight till morning the
little life seemed trembling In the balaIce,
she would not let her husband know, lest lie
might feel that he must leave his post OF
duty and go home and see the loved one die.
After she had done everything that she could
for the child she stood at the window look
ing across ut the Capitol. where the flag over
from the Senate chamber, hoping that she
might see It pulled down so that, the Senate
having adjourned and the battle being over.
she might soon see her husband coming.
The Senate did not adjourn though and the
flag was not pulled down, and she did not
see her husband until afternoon. By that
time the balance had turned In the child's
favor. and it was well on the way 10 recoy-
cry Philadelphia Record.
We have learned that the Senator
had been informed that the child, lit
tie Sallie, was somewhat unwell and
late in the evening sent Mr.. Sinms,
his private secretary, 10 ascertain and
report her correct condition. Mr..
Simms upon his arrival at the house
found two physicians in attendance
and the child dangerously i'll, but he
was instructed by the heroic mother
to report that the child was getting
along nicely and that he, the Senator,
should give himself no concern.
But replied Mr.. Simms, Il am
afraid to bear such a message under
the circumstances. Il alone AIN re-
sponsibe for the message, Mr.. Simms,
replied Mrs. Faulkner There was
nothing therefore left for him to do
but rs he had been instructed. Thus
the noble wife played part always
as heroic as her husband in the defeat
of the Force bill.-AGtnSbarg States

School Election.


The election for County Superinten-
dent of schools will be held May 10Th.
There are two candidates, Messrs
George w. Banks and George Ii.
Ramsburg. Both are experienced
teachers and are much interested in
the school work, and we trust the
best man will be chosen. There will
be a President of the Board of Educa-
ton, and one Commissioners in each
district, but we have heard of no can
didates in Shepherdstown district.
These positions do not seem to be
very desirable and are not much
sought after, though the very best
school men-men who are interested
in our public schools and are familiar
with school work and the wants of
the schools, should be selected for
these offices. The success fromscholars
depend very much upon the interest
taken In them by the officers and
patrons of the schools.

at the Entler Hotel as James Loeber,
of Philadelphia. He visited most OF
the business men and offered to col
lect their Lills in a novel and snowy
style, charging 80 per centum for his
labor. The appearance Of the man.
his peculiar methods of collecting and
his assurance, deferred all from en-
gaging In his enterprise. After re-
manning several days, he left with
ont notice" and failed to pay Mr..
Trussell his hotel bill. The man
with tn, scarlet uniform" will have

Difference of Opinion.

We notice by the advertisements in
the county papers that some OF the
Boards of Education have only in
cluded in their notices a vote for
power to levy" which authorizes the
board to make levy for four months
school only, and nothing is said about
additional months. Under the amend-
ed Section Al of the school law, the
board has no authority to submit the
question to the voters of the district,
as was formerly the case.
The Boards that do not submit the
question of additional months
school, at the May election, may
limit their school year to four months.
The opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral and the order of the State Super
intendent based upon 1t, directs the
Board OF Education to submit the
question of more than four months
school at the coming May election.
