A Big Barn Burned.

a great light in the west about ten
o'clock last Wednesday night was an
evidence to the people OF this vicinity
who saw it OF an extensive fire In
Berkeley county. News sfterward
came that it was the fine large barn
of Mr.. William T. Noll, about three
miles from Martinsburg, that was
burned. 1t is not known how the
fire originated, but when it was dis
covered it had already made great
headway. In the barn were nearly
1 900 bushels of wheat, 200 bushels OF
corn, 25 tons OF hay, farming imple-
ments and other articles, all of which
were destroyed. Five cows, four
calves and eleven hogs were burned
to death. The total loss is about
$4,000, upon which there was not a
cent Of insurance.

The Concert Last Week.

The Concert Last Week.
There was large and fashionable
audience in the town hall last Thurs
day night at the concert given by Mr..
Leo Wheat, who was assisted by Mis-
Matthaei aud Miss ChapmaH The
performance was in some respects
quite enjoyable in some respects IL
was not. The musical genius OF Mr..
Wheat is. of course, unquestiened
and unuuestionabe His ability 10
draw the sweetest expressions from
the piano seems to be a natural gilt
TO which really but little may be add
ed by cultivation. His performance
on Thursday night, however, was
hopelessly married by his ''eccentrici-
ties The dignity and beauty OF his
selections was, in the opinion OF many
persons, spoiled by tendency to
righteousness that certainly could
not appeal to the better nature OF a
cultivated audience. The people
who had come to hear the best Of the
well-known pianist felt as though
they were not treated fairly. What
was good in the music was almost
overcome by that which was objec-
tionable otherwise. Lecturing is diff
ferent from piano playing.
Mis-. Matthaei, OF Martinsburg, won
the audience completely. 1t was her
first appearance here, and she sus-
tanned all expectations Of her. Her
finish and skill as pianist, her grace
full manner, her conscientious per
Torrance, her thorough cultivation,
place her i'm the front rank Of plan
lists, and brilliant future may be pre-
dicted for her. Miss Chapman, also
Of Martinsburg, who has pleased
Shepherdstown audiences before,
rendered several vocal solos in her
best style, and was heartily encored.

4 BIO Sale.

~ O'S OdSs
The sale OF Mr.. G. d. Wysong'S per-
sonal property attracted very large
crowd to his place near Shepherds
town last Monday. The day was a
perfect one so far as the weather was
concerned, and bidders came from
MARYLAND and the adjoining counties
OF Virginia aud West Virginia. Good

erty sold, and some things went very
high. Auctioneer Dodd wheedled
4.1sO out of the crowd as the total
result OF the sale. Hogs brought
enormous prices-seyen sows sold for
$l77 so; shoats went as high as so
apiece; little pigs sold at So 10 each

One cow brought S64, and the others
ranged on down to $50, S45, and S35,
inferior animals selling at lower
prices. 4 pair of Percheron mares
sold for S4Ol. Mr.. j. \. Trussel !
bought pair OF black mares at about

The Peanut Fisn6.

inc Fedhut JeHu'
The peanut fisnd was at all enter
tainment in the town hall the other
night. There were several Of him
there, in fact. He brought his pea
nuts in a paper bag. At the most inter
esting part of the performance, when
everyone but himself was straining
his ears TO listen to the artist on the
stsge, the peanut fend dipped down
into the bag, drew forth his peanuts,
crushed the shells loudly and began
to chew audibly. Then as the music
went on he crunched and crunched, he
broke the shells, he scraped them over
the floor with his feet, he ratified the
paper bag, he spat, he chewed, he
ground. while the peanut flavor per
meated the building from end TO end.
The peanuts lasted as long as the en-
tertaiument, and the peanutter was
satisfied, if no one else was. May we
venture to suggest that this peanut
fiend reserve his next exhibition until
a circus comes to town?

grew to juicy shad-hood. Mr.. Leslie
was very proud Of his catch and at
first thought he would send it to

afraid the President might not APP

The Good of 1t.

Next summer two more expeditions
will seek the north pole. In Norway
DR.. Nansen is preparing for an expedi-
ton which will require perhaps five
years for completion, certainly two. 1t
has been thought there is Il current run
ming eastward from Behring straits, pos
sibly around the pole itself, DR.. Nansen
will make his voyage by water, striving
first of all to get into this current, which
he believes in. He also believes it will
take him to the north pole, and perhaps
to the jumping off place on the other
side.
In this country Lieutenant Peary will
start out as early as possible in the COM
ing season, backed again by the generous
Philadelphia Academy of Sciences prob
ably. By careful planning as to time
and supplies he hopes to be able toreach
the pole itself, camping for winter as
before near Mccormick bay, and leav-
ing it for the pole at the return of day
light in February. He will travel across
the sea after leaving the northernmost
point of land.
He believes he can make the journey
from Mccormick bay to the pole and
back between February and July. There
is land to the north of Greenland.
Whether Peary reaches the pole or not,
he will certainly settle definitely the
boundaries of this land.
The good of it all? Well, this adven-
turous exploration will continue till
there is not square mile Of the globe
which the white man has not trodden
and measured, not region anywhere
that we do not know about and classify,
geographically and economically. The
triumph OF achievement and conquest
is the explorers reward, and it is reward
enough.

Dirty Money.

1t is not the money Hunks received for
voting for t'other candidate at the late
election, but literally soiled, mutilated
paper currency, so offensive that nobody
would willingly touch it with pair of
tongs. There is far too much of it in
circulation-so much that one frequent
ly runs actual risk of getting cholera or
something worse when he handles it.
For his own comfort one shuns speculat-
ing on the probable history of that grimy,
foul smelling dollar bill he has received
in change from the grocer or meat man.
Congressman Cultivate, from Ohio,
proposes if possible to give the people
clean, crisp bills, by making it less ex-
pensive for banks and business corpora
tons to return dirty money to the treas
ury ut Washington and get bright new
bills in exchange for it, At present al
most the only people who give us nice
clean bills in exchange for our tattered
rags are the great dry goods firms. In
first class dry goods establishment one
never gets filthy bank bills.
At present anybody can get old money
exchanged for new by simply sending it
to the Treasurer of the United States,
Washington, D. G." But he must pay
the postage or expressage on it himself
and take the risks himself. 1t can be
sent by mail, registered without charge.
But the sender must pay the postage.
Congressman Cultivate will propose
that the government pay the expenses Of
shipping the money both ways. In view
Of the paper money annually lost and
destroyed and which is consequently SC
much gain to the government, it is
thought the government could well af
ford this expense.
At present the directions concerning
the shipping of mutilated currency foi
exchange are as follows:
United States notes, gold certificates, silver
! certificates, treasury notes of 1880 and nationH
| bank notes should be forwarded in separate
remittances. The notes should be assorted BY
denominations and incloscd in paper straps
not more than 10 notes in each strap, and the
! straps should be- marked with the amount Of
| their contents Not more than 5000 notes
! should be Dln Ia one package.

what the Homestead Strike Cost.

1t lasted five months, and the strikers
had to give i'll at last. The loss in wages
was $2,000.000. The less to the state
and to Allegheny county in maintaining
the soldiers and making good the dam
age from the riot will be half million
dollars. 1t was the most disastrous,
most barbarous strike ever known in
this country. Ten thousand men were
involved at one time. Ruin and bank
ruptcy to many business men at Home
stead was another of the results. "If
the strike had continued much longer it
would have ruined the town." says one
report. The loss to the firm is not
known.
Thirty-fve deaths are directly trace
able to the strike. One of these was
murder, another was a suicide. That
the number was not thirty-six, and that
assassination was not added to murder
and suicide was only due to the robust
constitution of Superintendent H. G.
Frick.
The strike came because the Carnegie
company refused to sign what is called
the sliding scale of wages, which con-
cerned certain departments of their
works in which members of the Anal
gamated Iron and Steel association were
employed. 1t is called sliding scale"
because the wages slide up or down
with the price paid in the market for
steel billets.
All the millions of loss, the deaths
and destruction could have been avoided
by the application of one single word
arbitration. Even when your opponent
is dead wrong it is better to meet him in
a conciliatory spirit and convince him
that he is wrong.
