DEATH or 4 roPuLAR MAS.

Mr.. John Lee Fout, highly re-
spected and estimable man, of this
city, died at the residence Of his uncle,
Mr.. j. H. Gettinger, West Burke St.,
last night, after q long and painful i'll
ness, aged thirty years. Mr.. Fout
was engaged in the drug business on
North Queen street, five years, but
was compelled to reGnquish this on ac-
count Of failing health. When appris-
ed Of his condition several days ago,
his reply was .'if / cannot get well may
it be Gods will to take me away soon,
that may be relieved of my pain,
and my friends and others of their care
and anxiety" He was perfectly con-
scious that his end was near and was
resigned.
Thus useful and promising young
man was cut down in the prime of life.
He was universally loved and respect
ed for his manly qualities of heart.
Requium Mass will be held at st.
Joseph's Catholic Church Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock. The remains
will then be taken to St. Mary's Gene
terry, near Buckeystown, Frederick

wILFRED CLARKE.

The style of entertainment that Mr..
Clarke and his excellent company win
present at the Opera House next
Thursday evening is something decid-
edly new and novel to a Martinsburg
audience but none the less delightful
and artistic on account of its novelty.
The evenings entertainment will con-
sist Of three great comedies. A Morn
ing Call, Violin Maker, and Poor Pilli-
coddy.
A morning Call is delightful light
comedy and gives Mr.. Clarke q
splendid opportunity to display the
highest order Of light, graceful, polish
ed comedy.
Violin Maker is pathetic play with
touch Of sentiment in which Mr..
Clarke portrays the part of poor,
crippled, deforIned violin apprentice
who has successfully won the prize in
a contest and then afterwards, to secure
the happiness Of those he loves, DELHI
erately changing his violin in the max
ing Of which he has spent SO much time
and thought and by this sacrifice de-
liberately resigning all claims to the
prize and also the hand Of the woman
he loves, so as to make her and 4 fellow
apprentice happy. 1t gives Mr.. Clarke
a splendid opportunity to display his
versatility. The evenings bill will
close with the farce Poor Pillicoddy, q
screamingly funny comedy in which
the interest and fun Is never for q
minute allowed to drag.

rAcINArloNs OF THE HING.

People who witnessed the perform
ance of Burke's show in our city last
Saturday were not laudatory in their
praise, and were quite astounded this
morning to hear that two of our young
ladies had decamped from the city to
join the company. 1t is alleged that
some of the gay fellows of the ring
offered flattering inducements to seven
of our girls, who had all the comforts
Of home furnished that their highly
respected parents could provide, but
were not satisfied. When the hour
came, however. only two could sum
mon courage sufficient to face the
hardships they were sure to encounter.
Last night two of them spent the night
away from home, and this morning
took the early train over the G. v. r.
R. for Hagerstown to join the show.
They We're, however foiled in their
efforts. THEN parents got onto the
matter in time to board their train
with an officer. At Bedington they
were taken off and brought back to
this city on the next train, arriving
here at11:27 this morning. A crowd
Of curious people, who had learned Of
the affair, congregated at the depot to
witness their arrival. The girls par
ents are highly respected peoplesin this
community, and for that reason we
withhold their names, and believing
too, that the occurrence has taught them
a lesson.
