sUCCEss-PERsONALN NOTES, &C.
reported for the Staunton V1NDIcAToR.]
FIsHERsvILLE.-Apri 27.-According
to announcement the Kings Daughters
Circle repeated their entertainment ia the
depot at this place last night, following,
with one OF two exceptions, their previous
programme, with the additional attraction
of Capt. J. E. Fitz and his accomplished
wife, who gave several piano and violin
duets, which were heartily encored and re-
encored. Capt. Fitz also favored the au-
marvels of ''banjo skill7 and took the
house by storm. Mrs. Fitz is pianist Of
State reputation and it was an intense
qualification to our people to have an OPP
portunity of hearing her.
Miss Cora Turner also gave several of
her pretty solos. The orchestra was COM
posed OF the Freed Brothers, sons of our
MI. W. A. Freed, and DR.. J. M. Watson
and MI. Jas. r. Kemper, who gave in the
intervals choice and well rendered selections.
The Freed Brothers are musical prodigies.
playing any instrument almost at first
sight. In my account of the entertain
ment on the 18th, should have stated that
MI. Frank Freed took the part of the dude
in 'Aunt Hannah'S Valentine, in place Of
Dr.. Burkholder who was unavoidably alb
sent. Mr.. Freed also personated this char
acter last night with most thorough and
amusing conception of the part.
Mr.. r. W. Mcclure with Mrs. W. E.
Gilkeson gave laughable impromptu cha
rade. The large audience present expressed
themselves as charmed and surprised at the
high character of the performance from
beginning to end. Aside from the other
attractions, Capt. and Mrs. Fitz
in their charming duets, our accom-
plished violinist, Miss Kate Koiner,
in her violin solos, Miss Turner s
grand vocal solos, and the sweet mus
ic of the Freed brothers, was ample recon-
pense for a ten mile midnight ride, and it
will bear repetition to say that Mrs. Capt.
G. B. Coiner, who SO theoretically and skill
fully arranged this treat, deserves and will
receive the thanks of the community.
Mrs. S. j. Schumacher has been critically
i'll, and while still in aprecarious condition
is reported by her physician, Dr.. S. H.
bold. as something better.
DR.. D. W. Hanger has been quite sick,
but is now rapidly improving.
Messrs. Arch Kinney and Andrew Sheets
of Staunton. spent Wednesday in Fishers
vile on official business.
Mr.. W. F. Gilkesor left for Richmond
this morning to attend the convention of
Presbyterian Elders now in session.

liable service to the Democratic party. Of

liable service to the Democratic party. Ut
the IA States that had SO far sent delega-
tions to the National convention, 10 had
sent delegations for Grover Cleveland (great
cheering) and I believe that of the Demo-
Gratis of the country nineteen out OF twenty
are for Grover Cleveland (great applause.)
The man who ought to be nominated is the
man who the people want, and that man is
Cleveland. He had the courage, the grand
courage, to recognize the South. Not rec
ognize it as it had been under Republican
administrations, where men had to change
their life long party relations and crawl in
the dust to get recognition, but Clev Gland
had recognized it standing up straight with
it's head up like man (great applause) like
every other section of the country. He was
a man who knew no fear in public duty,
and he showed it when he vetoed the de-
pendant pension bill which was to cost him
thousands of votes. Capt. Bumgardner
closed with a ringing compliment to Cleve-
land, coupled with the hearty promise that
the Democrats Of Virginia would support
whoever the National convention in it's wis
dom might nominate.
The club was then adjourned by the
President in a high good humor.

A Busy Interior.

The interior of the Virginia Hotel pre-
sents a busy scene. Nh. J. G. Scheffer, the
new owner, has from thirty to forty me-
chanics at work and there is everything
going on-new floors being laid; every room
papered and painted; new furniture all over
the house; electric bells in every room;
steel ceiling. iron pillars, cherry wainscot-
ing, new floor, buffet and mirrors in the
dining room; marble toilet rooms-it is so
turned topsy turvey with the work going
on that it is hard to recognize the old To-
cal1ties in it, Instead of spending $4,000
on repairs and changes as at first proposed,
MI. Scheffer will spend 5000 and has en-
larged his plans accordingly.

Tl.n Eatlcrlcss aud the Widow.

The car stopped With the usual lurch,
and the conductor assisted to the plat
form tail lady, evidently young, but
whose face was hidden by the heavy
folds of a long Grape veil. Her gown
and gloves We're of the same somber hue
as the veil. She was followed by little
girl, also dressed i'll black. AS the car
started on its way down town the lady
and the little girl took seats in the cor
her. Neither spoke for some time, and
then the little girl looked mp, and in a
voice that was heard above the rattle of
the car exclaimed:
mammal"
''Yes, my dear"
81 want to see papa"
"Hush, dearest" and black gloved
hand reached over and took one of the
tiny hands of the child. Then there was
silence fora minute. Suddenly the child
ish voice was heard again:
''But do want to see papa Why
won't you let me see him?"
"Don't, darling; please DON'T" came
the answer, as the head of the little girl
was tenderly drawn over until it rested
against the folds of the Grape veil.
''But why won't you let me 500 papa?'
persisted the child.
There was no answer, but the shroud
ed head of the black figure in the corne,
was bent low and the black gloved hant
was reaching for something evidentl,
hidden in the folds Of the black gown.
s'Mammar
eyes, DEAR" answered a tremulou
voice.
''Can l see papa tonight?'
Almost fiercely the little figure wa
drawn 10 that of the larger one, and
whisper-more a sob-was heard to say
''Oh, Elsie, dear, hush. Don't 80
know that papa lies say off there on til
Litchfeid hills! You cant seem hi,
tonight, darling, and may God help yo
and help me-
And the Car ratified on; but the bi:
