Organization of an Episcopal
Church in Clifton Forge.

On Tuesday evening last, pursuant to
notice, the Episcopalians of Clifton
Forge, held meeting in the Parrish
rooms, for the purpose of electing the
necessary officers.
There was fairly good attendance.
in brief the object of the meeting and
proceeded to ask for nominations, with
the following results, in election by bal
lot:
For Wardens-Mr Fred O'Mara, Dr.
W. f. Miller.
For Vestrymen--Messrs. Lewis Har-
man, James A. Frazier, D. S. Eichelber>
ger, W. R. Duerson, R. NJ Berkeley.
DR. Miller and Mr. Eichelberger were
subsequently, appointed Treasurer and
Secretary, respectively, and also as COM
mittee on Supplies, &c.
A committee of Ladies, Mrs. Hartman,
Mrs Taylor, Mrs Moseley and Mrs. Coy
ner, were appointed to wait upon the
Town Council to further the laying
down of sidewalk to and from the Par
IRISH rooms.
1t was decided to hold regular weekly
Sunday morning services forthwith, be>
ginning with Lay services on Sunday
next at II A. M.
1t only needs the heart cooperation
of all interested in order to soon advance
the interests of this young town, by the
addition of a rrattv oh +, rcb in a daSira-
BILE street. The. Episcopalians have too
long been inactive, and now that a Rec
tor lin the person of the Rev. H. L.
Wood has come to reside here, it is to
be hoped that all will rally and make
it telling success. Nothing will speak
so well for this place, as the interest it
displays in erecting sanctuaries in which
to praise and render Thanksgiving to a
God for all His benefits.

to discount all these favorable feat.
ures. There is truth in this view,
and it would be prudent for thos Q
whose accounts show profits to realize
on them and walt for reaction. But,
at the same time, it may properly be
kept in mind that, in periods of spec
ulative activity, prices are not apt to
be adjusted, even approximately,
to the intrinsic value Of
the properties. The speculative
spirit is the most impulsive and un-
comfortable element that influences
prices; and, when fairly aroused, it
does not stop at the line OF intrinsic
value, but Is guided by the limit to
which its own force can carry quota
tions. Experience shows that, when
once the outside public enters the
market in force, the line Of real value
is easily passed; and, from present in.
dications and the nature of the gener.
al situation, it seems not improbable
that the present campaign may at
later stage develop into that exiting
phase. That, however, is not the
present state of the market. For the
time being, operators have some re.
gard for the intrinsic value of stocks,
and there is limit OF prices at which
they are willing to sell; and therefore
it is prudent to be satisfied with mod,
crate profits and take into account
the possibility of reactions.

The board Of public works, with Mr.. Van
Brockin acting instead of Mr. Hebron
yesterday made clean sweep of the offices
directly under its control. An omnibus
motion declaring all the Offices vacant was
carried by vote of two to one, MAJOR
Rinehart voting against it. Of course this
was done in the interest of municipal re-
form alone. 1t is not done in order that
party service may be rewarded. 1t is not
done in order that Democratic political
machine may be built up. OF course not
1t only happens that the new appointees
are all Democrats.
This, of course, must end the NOM par
tisan pretensions which Mayor Ronald
has avowed 80 loudly since his election
He claims TO have been elected "a q reform
candidate, and his idea o. reform IL to put
Republicans out of Office and Democrats
an. This is good enough reform from
Democratic standpoint, but it shows what
q humbug the Democratic non-partisan
prctense was.
The whole effort of Mayor Ronald and
his party appears to be to get a hold upon
the municipal machine in order that they
may use it To assist them in their attempt
to give the electoral votes of Washington
to the Democratic candidate for the pres-
deuev
