No License for ShepheroStoWh.
There will be no licensed liquor sa-
looms in Shepherdstown the ensuing
year.
When the County Court met at
Cbarlestown last Monday Mr.. j. G.
Lambert made application for license
to sell spirtuous and malt liquors IN
Shepherdstown, having recommen-
dation from the town council of this
place for the privilege. The appli-
cation was met with petition, pre-
sented by Revs J. K. Van Horne and
H. c.. Mcdaniel and Messrs. +. l. Lee
and f. II. Licklider, and signed by 81
voters of Shepherdstown, praying the
| court to refuse the license. The 81
names embraced many Of the largest
Taxpayers and foremost business men
of this community, and at once COM
manded the respect and attention OF
the court. Mr.. Van Horne and Mr..
Lee addressed the court, asking that
the application be denied, stating
that there was no personal objection
| to Mr.. Lambert, but that the opposi-
ton was to the sale of liquor by any
man in Shepherdstown. The court
thereupon decided by a vote OF four
to one 10 refuse the license, Col. John
T. Gibson casting the only vote IN
| favor of il.
There is a general expression OF
satisfaction here that our town Is to
! enjoy for another year freedom from
the evils of the open saloons. We
congratulate the people on the fact
that our County Court is composed OF
gentlemen who are so approachable
and so willing to do right.

TAUNTON.

The Taunton Sunday school picnic was not held. last week Wednesday, as ex- pected, on account of the rain. The fol lowing day being as fine as could be wished for, the Sunday school and their friends turned out in full force and changed fhe usually quiet Lakeside into a scene of life and activity. A long ta- ble built for the occasion fairly groaned under the weight of good things which the good wives of Taunton had prepared for the occasion and, after all present had in turn helped to lessen the imagin- ary groans of this particular table and transferred share of the good things to themselves. the younger folks scampered off to row or swing or some other form of amusement, while the older ones sat down in groups and spent the time in quiet enjoyment by talking of the times that used to be. Everything must have an end and so this picnic closed by all going home feeling that they had enjoy ed the day and hoping that all may meet again in like manner when another year rolls around.

Prevention Of Cholera.

Healthy persons ''catch" cholera by taking into their systems through the mouth, as in their food or drink, or from their hands. knives, forks, plates. tum- blers, clothing, etc., the germs of the disease, which are always present in the discharges from the stomach and bowels of those sick with cholera.
 Thorough cooking destroys the chol- era germs.
 Don't eat raw, uncooked articles of any kind, not even milk.
 Don't eat or drink to excess. Use plain, wholesome, digestible food, as in- digestion and diarrhea favor an attack of cholera.
 Don't drink unboiled water.
 Don't eat or drink articles unless they have been thoroughly and recently cook ed or boiled and the more recent and hotter they are the safer.
 Don't employ utensils in eating or drinking unless they have been recently put in boiling water; the more recent the safer.
 Don't eat or handle food OF drink with unwashed hands, or receive it from the unwashed hands of others.
 Don't use the hands for any purpose when soiled with cholera discharges; thoroughly clense them at once.
 Personal cleanliness and cleanliness of the living and sleeping rooms and their contents and thorough ventilation should be rigidly enforced. Foul water closets, sinks, cellars, etc., should be avoided and when present should be remedied.
 Don't permit vomit or diarrheal dis charges to come in contact with food, drink or clothing. These discharges should be received in proper vessels and kept covered until removed under com petent direction. Pour boiling water on them, put strong solution of carbol- ic acid in them (not less than one part of acid to 20 of hot soap studs or water.)
 Don't wear, handle or use any articles of clothing or furniture that are soiled with cholera discharges. Pour boiling water on them or put them into it and scrub them with the carbolic acid solu- tion and promptly request the board of health to remove them.
 Don't be frightened, but do be eau tious and avoid excesses and unnecessary exposure of every kind.-[New York Board of Health.

George J. Signor got into difficulty, Sunday, August 2s, with Albert, son of Ole Olson, hitting him beside the head with stone, rendering him unconscious and requiring doctors services. As MT Signor tells the story, Albert has been in his house for months and re- gently bought S1 worth of cider of him, taking it away by installments. We'd nesday, August 24, Albert, who is a stocky young fellow of IS or 20 years, drew knife on his brother Ole. Mir Signor remarked that no one would ever draw knife or pistol on him without suffering for it. Sunday morning early, August 2s, Mr Signor woke up to find Albert and a mate by his bed. Albert said that he was drunk and was after the Signor cider, then less than week old. After wrestling with others, Al- bert hit MT Signor on the head, who choked him until he begged for mercy. Albert then drew knife, when MT Sig nor felled him to the ground with a stone and it was 12 hours before Albert regained consciousness. It seems that a Sunday school was started none too soon on Hull's hill. Mir Signor.s wife left him in May

gauntlet of healthy stomach. The gastric juice, when sufficiently acid, is an antiseptic. It destroys the comma bacillus.

George William Curtis, who died, last week. though generally recognized as the editor of Harper's Weekly, had noth- ing to do with the selection of the gener- al reading matter or the illustrations. Nor did he have anything to do with the reading of manuscripts submitted. He was really the political editor. All po- litical matter intended for the paper went through his hands. He generally filled the six columns of space devoted to editorial matter. It was only at inter- vals that articles of other authors were permitted on those pages.

The sanitary officials announce that the spread of cholera in Hamburg is di- rectly traceable to the use of the Elbe water for drinking. The water is filthy, they say and so impregnated with pois- onous matter that it constantly menaces the city with epidemics. The presence of Russian emigrants in the city is pro nounced to have been of secondary im- portanee in spreading the plague. Had the health of the people not already been undermined by impure drinking water, it is said, little or no danger would have att tended the transport through the city of families from the infected districts of Russia.
