The M. G. BAND AND IRooUoTs
CLUB.-On Friday noon last, the
Martinsburg City Band left Martins
burg for Baltimore, where they were
engaged by the Iroquois, Demo
cratic Club, to accompany them to
the Inaugural ceremonies at Wash
lngton. The Band was met at the
train by Mr.. John F. Staub, one Of
the Clubs committee men, and es-
corted to the Howard House, where
entertainment was provided for them
until the next day. After supper,
the Band gave promenade concert
at the club-rooms, on tie corner Of
Mosher and McCulloh streets. The
Iroquois live in their own quarters,
have splendidly furnished rooms, and
entertain most royalty. We can
truthfully say that the Band never
played with more success nor more
accurately and acceptably than at the
club rooms. Prof. Brockenshire is
to be congratulated on having by
his training of the members, covered
himself all over with glory. The
next morning found Baltimore a
binding sheet of snow, but the bra
yes, in spite of it all, marched to the
depot and embarked for Washing
ton, where they were taken charge
of by an assistant marshall who led
them from street to street in the cold
and driving snow in which they were
compelled to stand several Eours,
and finally, deeming health more pre-
scious than politics, they disbanded
and did not participate in the par
ade. Many other clubs did the same,
and detracted from both the length
and beauty ofthe parade. The Band
returned to Martinsburg at once, ar
irving here after considerably block
ing of trains, at 5 o'clock Sunday
morning.

THEIR TENTH Anniversary I

THEIR TENTH ANNIVERSARY Rev.
and Mrs. Chas. S. Trump celebrated
the tenth anniversary of their we'd
ding, on Monday evening last. The
guests present were the members of
the Christian Endeavor and Luther
an Alliance of the Lutheran Church,

Pennsylvania. The bride and groom
were the recipients of many presents.
The evening was spent very enjoya-
bly, by the young people who hold

highest esteem. At late hour the
guests were invited 70 the DINING

served, composed of all the daintles
of the season, to which they did full
justice. We extend our congratu-
lations and hope they may live to

Auctioneer D0dd.

Mr.. John w. Dodd continues the
auctioneering business all over this
and adjoining counties. Without
mentioning his wide experience and
unparalleled success in the past he
claims no other merit than to get
the biggest prices in the shortest
time, and that is what the people
want. Terms moderate, and will
cry sales either by Humping the
job " or on percentage. A postal
card to MartiRsburg will reach him
at any time, or you may call at his

1t May be Interesting to Know

That when excursion rates are
made to Chicago for people who
live in the East, to enable them to
attend the Worlds Fair next year.
it is contemplated by the Western
roads to also make excursion rates
from Chicago to all principal bust
ness and tourist points in West,
Northwest and Southwest, so that
those who desire to spend few
weeks among their friends in the
Great West, may have an opportun-
ity of so doing without mourning
much additional expense. 1t may

New FIELDS OF LABOR FOR METH
oDIsTs MINIsTERs.--On Tuesday even
ing the Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, which has been IN
session for several days, at Hagers-
town, was finally brought to close
by the appointments made by Bish-
OPP Newman for the ensuing year. A
great many surprising changes were
made among the ministers we'll known
at this place. We note the follow
ing: Rev. John Edwards remains at
Woodberry; Rev. j. E. Amos goes
to Canton Street, in East Baltimore
District; Rev. John w. Hedges is
named for Homestead Rev. j. W.
Cornelius is supernumerary for North
Baltimore; Rev. E. FL Lamar is
again assigned to Mitchell; Rey. E.
G. Gallaher goes to West Falls, Nd.
Among the ministers stationed in
this vicinity: Rev. P. r. Murphy
goes to Berkeley Springs; Rev. G..
j. Price is returned to Bunker Hill;
Rev. W. I. L. Leech goes to Har-
pers Ferry circuit; Rev. C. M. Yost,
to Hedgesville; Revt j. r. Shultz,
to Shepherdstown and Sharpsburg
circuit. We note, with pleasure, the
return to Martinsburg of Rev. W.
I'll. Chapman. His labors and inter
course with us have been of great
good, and he has hosts of friends
who will learn of his return with
great pleasure.
The closing session of the Confer
ence was taken up almost entirely
with the reading of the committee
reports. Impotence to hear the APP
pointments created a disposition to
rush through business and there was
little debate. The last devotional
exercises of the session were con-
Quoted by the Rev. w. S. Norlis, of
Baltimore. Reports on Sabbath OBJ.
servance, publication interests and
educational institutions were read.
BY rising vote the Conference pas
sed resolution thanking its presid
ing officer, Bishop j. P. Newman.
for the justice and courtesy he had
shown in mis- position, and for the
helpful and cultured addresses deliv-
cred during the session.
Even In its dying moments an at.
tempt was made to revive The wo-
man question resolutions, and an eff
fort was made to reconsider the ac-
ton OF the day before. Later the
Conference changed its action, de-
string to affirm one of the sections of
the resolution on which there was
diversity Of opinion.

DANGER OF EATING SNow.-The
disposition of children as we'll as of
boys and girls of larger growth to
eat snow, carries with it danger
which few Of them can properly esti-
mate. In many cases diptheria and
scarlet fever are produced by indul-
gence in such eating, as the germs of
both diseases are largely contained
in snow, the flakes being impregnat-
ed by them as they exist in the at
mosphere. For these reasons it is
always dangerous to eat snow, and
parents should so instruct their chill
dren, as well as teachers in the school
should not fail to prevent pupils
from INDUCING in the same rash
habit.

TIT FOR TAT.-This pleasing and
eminently successful comedy was
given by Mr.. Wilfred Clarke and his
company at the New Opera House,
on Wednesday night last. The per,
formers are all experts. Mr.. Clarke
is from family of royal stage talent
and is a good comedian. His facial
expressions are marvellous, his HUI
NOR spontaneous and refreshing.
The comedy is pure and chaste, yet
abounded in fun making from be-
ginning to end. The attendance
was small, not what it ought to
have been, as the play was a good
one.

LOOKING FOR A STABLE.-On Tues
day night last two fellows in two
horse wagon drove from the old
freight depot to the South round
house of the B. & O. r. r. Co., and
never broke bone or a spring
Two freight trains were passing, one
going east the other west at the
time and how they ever escaped be-
ing killed is mystery. When they
got across the tracks they were very
indignant because the railroad men
would not allow them to stable their
horses in the round house. They
were safely towed up street and
started on the Hampshire grade for
destination. Both were full of

TARA-RA M-DE-AY.--Little Lot
tie Briscoe is one of the sweetest of
stage children. She is always per-
fectlv at ease, acts well. and sings
and dances in addition. She is quite
an accomplished little lady. Her
childish lisp alone is worth the price
of admission. Lottie is one of Lot
tie Collins smallest and youngest
imitators. Her attempt at the song
and dance made famous by the Lon
don concert hall singer is decidedly
funny. She has the third act of "The
Burglar quite to herself and makes
it one of the most simple and effec-
tive scenes in dramas of this sort.
We all know the strong, dramatic
incident which occurs IN tkis act.
There is no need to repeat it now.
The cast of 'The Burglar" this year
is strong and evenly balanced. The
performance is the most commenda-
BILE that has been given at the Bijou
this season.-Euening Wisconsin.

BARN BURNED.-The large frame
barn owned by Mr.. VIM. 7. NoI. on
his farm was discovered to be in
flames on Wednesday night about 10
O'Clock, and in a short time the
whole building and contents we're
destroyed. We could not learn
whether the same was insured or
not. The fire was discovered by
some members of the family who
were sitting in the house and hap
pened to glance in the direction of
the barn, but their discovery was
too late to save anything but some
of the live stock. There were in the
barn 900 bushels of wheat, about 25
tons of hay which were totally de-
stroyed. Some of the stock, includ-
ing 5 cows, calves and ii hogs
were burned to death. All of Mr..
Willis Noll's agricultural nipple
ments we're also burned. The cause
of the fire is unknown. The loss
will reach a large sum and we are
exceedingly sorry for the losers.

A MIGHTY MAN.-Topham, the
prince of English strong men, had
knots of muscles where the armpits
are in the ordinary man. He could
take bar of iron Ii inches in di-
ameter and S feet long, place the
ends of it over the back of his neck
and then force the ends forward I'M
til they met before his face. On one
occasion he called upon a village
blacksmith and made of him an ever
lasting enemy by picking up num-
Der of horseshoes and swapping them
in two as easily as if they had been
pine sticks.-iS. Louis Republic.

A CLEVER CHILD AcTREss.-Lottie
Briscoe, who plays the part of the
little girl, Editha, in "The Burglar"
surprised the audience at Jacobs
Theatre, last night, by her skill as
an actress, and the rare strength and
quality of her voice. For child of
her apparent age, her appreciation of
the role and her delivery of the lines
were surprising, and showed that she
is one of the most remarkable of the
infant prodigies that have appeared
in this and other plays. The naive
ly humorous conversation of Editha
and her burglar father, in the third
act, was especially well enacted. In
the second act, her singing com
pletely took the house by Storm
