Blind Tnm

Blind Tom.
blind Tom," the wonderful negro
pianist, gave an excellent performances
in the new town hall last Thursday
evening before a crowded house.
There can be no reasonable doubt,
we think, that it was the only origina
Blind Tom-no longer, of course, a
boy in rou ndabout, but a big,
broad shouldered, portly man, in the
proper dress suit. He went through
with his usual programme, the CLASH
cal as well as the simpler forms OF
music, and his own compositions, in
Guiding his famous Battle of Ma
nassas." 1t was Toms first appear
ance in Shepherdstown, and though
some of those present had heard him
before, all were equally well pleased.
Tom introduced himself and made his
own announcements, speaking OF
himself lin the third person" His
voice was well modulated, his language
OF the best, and no one would have
accused him OF lacking any OF the at
tributes of the most cultivated mind.
His remarks, however, it is said
were simply the result OF his initiative
faculty, he having learned them as
a parrot would by having heard them
repeated. A young lady in the au-
dience played piece for him TO imi-
tate, which he did with remarka BILE
accuracy. He appIauded himself
whenever the audience did, owing,
he said, to the fact that he could not
help but initiate the hand clapping.
1t was noticeable, however, that he
did not initiate the clapping when
the young lady was applauded.
The performance OF Blind Tom was
all that could be desired. His man
agement, however, was noted and
will long be remembered for mean
ness. The woman who managed the
show was a person with whom the
people here are not pining TO have
any further business relations. The
Spirit says the management had the
hearty contempt of some of the cit
liens OF Charlestown. Hearty con-
tempt does not express the sentiments
of some OF the citizens OF Shepherds
town.

the nervous invalid meets from the unfeelng

Secretary Blaine has made n per
sonal statement relating TO the mar
rage Of his son, James q. Blaine, Jr.,
to Miss Marie Nevins. Mr. Blaine
says his family have so far borne
quietly every publication inspired by
the young wife, but the decision OF
the Judge at Dead wood, s. d., makes
it impossible for them longer to re-
main silent Mr.. Blaine quotes letter
which he wrote to Rev Thomas |.
Ducey, the Catholic priest who per
formed the ceremony, criticising the
priests course in marrying the young
couple without communicating with
the young mans parents. Mr.. Blaine
charges that Miss Nevins, who was
twenty-one years old, tempted his
son, who was under eighteen. from
his books, and led him bIindly TO the
altar. Mr.. Blaine asserts that the
young mans mother did all in her
power to promote the happiness of
the young couple.
