Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1894-11-10

Mrs. Colston was born in Moutgoin-
cry county, Maryland, November S,
1850. She was the daughter of Dir.
Reuben Summers, who came to Mar
tinsburg about the year 1913, and was
f'r the rest of his lif- prominently
identified with Martinsburg, as a ply
stefan OF large practice.
Miss Summers was married the year
after the war to Capt. w. B. Colston,
a wounded veteran, who is now editor
Of the World and clerk of the Circuit
Court Of Berkeley County
During her last illness she was at
tended by her only surviving sister,
Mrs Sophia Hunter, the wife of Dr.. J..
Il. Hunter, Of Berkeley Springs, Mrs.
Robert Lemon, Mrs. Mary w Leigh,
ard other relatives.
She leaves a family of four children;
Susan Summers, Jane Brockebrough,
Lizzie W., and Sophia Hunter Colston.
She WAS the aunt of Mrs. Robert Lam
on, Miss Leah Burkhart and Summers
Burkhart, the children of her sister,
Mamie S. Burkhart.
Mrs. Colston was a devoted wife and
mother, and cummuuicant Of Trinity
Episcopal Church. Her funeral was
given from that church on Sunday
evening, and she was buried in the
family lot in Norborne cemetery.
Capt, Colston and family have the
sympathy of the public generally and
the newspaper fraternity specially in
their sad bereavement.
The campaign OH the part of the
Republicans closed with a rousing
meeting at the Opera IIonse, Saturday
night. Hon. w. H. H. Flick made
the opening address, followed by Hon
L. S. G. Pitzer in a speech Of two
hours duration, which gave unbound
ed satisfaction. All agree in saying
that the meeting was a great success.

One fact that advertisers should

that it is read by more people in

they read it, and many who will not

do not complain but cite the fact to

PATHS FARMLAND.

Craig-y-nos castle, situated at the
base of THE Rock of Night, ono OF
the many high hills which stretch
away from the Brecon Beacons to-
ward Swansea bay, from which the
diva's homo takes its name, appears
to the weary and footsore traveller
to whom a hearty meal and ample
rest is never denied to be as an oasis
amid tho desert plains. Built in the
center of a wildly romantic expanse
of scenery and traversed by tho
Tawc, a bright little river which
hurries seward, babbling and rip
ping as it flows, the castle stands re-
splcndent, with an almost regal air,
commanding an impressive view OF
the broad valley and it's picturesque
surroundings.
To the left of tho chateau are sit
uated the Conservatives, wineries,
peachhouses etc, and last, but not
least, the magnificent winter garden,
which has lately been erected and
stocked with rare palms and Australi-
an ferns. Here the diva takes her daily
walk when fierce gales and drench-
ing showers deter her from Drawing
the elements. The castle and winter
garden are brilliantly illuminated by
electric light, so that the effect of the
cattle at night, when viewed from
the somber valley, is that of an en-.
chanted palace situated in Fairyland.

No Blanks I'm this Competition.

This is competition Of rather an unusual
nature 1t Is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose COM
petitive plan for club house on certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something of very little use to him. But the
person who patents simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
tition, ne d not worry if he fail to secure The
prize He has substantial result TO show
for his work-one that win command its val
Tie in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the rid of the idea that an
Improvement can be too SIMPLE to be worth
pa'enting. TIE simbler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol
lars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from The fact that Its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.

Sewing In Public Schools.

The course Of study in sewing in
the Boston public schools is interest
ing for an amateur Of sewing to con-
slider. To read of "thimble, emery,
scissors" set off neatly as articles Of
study, and to gaze upon a printed
curriculum of Blasting, backstitch-
ing, overcasting, half backstitching
and combination Of one running and
one-half backstitch" is to realize
most intensely the advantages Bos-
ton offers to her daughters. In the
fourth year are taught, among other
things, stocking darning, straight
and bias telling, whipping and sew
ing on ruffles, hemstitching, blind
stitching, tucking if not taught pre-
viously, gathers overhanded to
band, sewing on hooks and eyes and
buttons, eyelets, loops, and in the
fifth year there is system Of dress
cutting by which girls are taught to
take measures, draft, cut and fit
a dress waist. Boston Transcript.

COLLECTING DEBTS IN FRANCE.
Points of Difference Between the System
There and In This Country.

Points of Difference Between the System
There and In This Country.
The matter practiced in the collec
ton of debts in France and in the
United States does not differ materi-
ally save in the collection and the
mode of procedure. The first step
which is necessary for creditor In
France to take before he can use To-
gal means to collect debt due HIM
Is to obtain Judgment against the
debtor, which is rendered by a JUS
tice of the peace, provided the
amount does not exceed $40. The de-
fendant is required toappear in court
on a certain day and arrange for a
settlement Of the account and pay a
part or the whole of it or show cause
why.
If this arrangement is not made,
the defendant is a second time sum-
moned to appear, and should he
then fatty refuse payment Judgment
is rendered against him. The cost
of Judgment, together with that of
the summons, is betrayed by the
plaintiff and a copy Of the former
sent to the debtor. He then has
three months grace to appeal beforea
civil court from the judgment already
handed down. Failing to exercise
this privilege, the matter is put in
the hands Of a "huissier," whose
functions partake of those of both
the bailiff and process server, but his
methods as well as his perogatives
resemble neithertone nor the other.
Tho huissier upon request of the
creditor makes M abstract state
ment of the condition of the debt,
the fee for preparing and serving the
same varying according to the
length of the instrument and not ac-
cording to the Importance OF the
debt. Its average cost, however, may
be placed at $3.50.
In case the debtor ignores the doc
ument an "assignation" is served
upon him, and eight days thereafter
his furniture is seized and placed in
the hands of the huissier. The ex-
pense entailed in the preparation OF
these notices is betrayed by the cred
} itor, but if at any moment the debt
or agrees to liquidate in full he is not
only required by law to discharge
his original obligation, but to add to
it the costs of the judgment and fees
of the huissier. Whether this sys-
tenn is better than the plan pursued
In tho United States is a matter Of
opinion. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Reputation.

The value Of reputation is almost
cynically set forth by the case of q
young literary man whose rejected
story came back to him from a great
publishing house with few words
of praise qualified by the declaration
that it showed traces of the amateur.
Encouraged by this he set to work
and produced a novel. This he sent
to the same house, and it was &C.
cepted. 1t succeeded, and the young
author soon afterward sold to the
same publisher the rejected story at
double the price he had originally
asked. New York Sun.

the wants of the people, to undertake the
direction of their thought and amuse-
ment, to bring them in all these things
under christian rather than to leave them
under immoral influence is being serious
ly undertaken in all our cities. 1t has
given rise to the now common "institu-
tional church." Such churches scattered
up and down through our large cities are
doing an amount of good which only the
future can enable us to measure. There
is not less need of such work in smaller
cities; not less need in Owosso. With all
the successes of the past this Y. nj. Q. A.
has not yet begun to realize its possibili-
ties. Institutional churches in city like
this would involve an enormous waste OF
resources. Such work in such cities
must be done, if at all, by combined
effort. The christian union we all hope
for and dream about must come, ii at all,
this way. Not by adjusting doctrinal
differences and harmonizing theological
divergences but by learning to practically
cooperate in christian work.
There is one institution which offers
itself as forming the natural center about
which such endeavors may properly be
grouped. 1t is already attempting some
thing in these directions. 1t should be
made the center through which in Owos-
so this work be attempted. That institu--
ton is the Y. M. G. A. The success of
the last year has been most encouraging.
A new year of work is opening. It calls
for push, energy, determination. Do not
be satisfied with present attainment-at-
tempt greater things. Do not be satisfied
to work only in the old lines-fnd and
utilize others.

SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC cATARRH
AS Described by DR.. Hartman, one Of the
Greatest Authorities and Writers
on Catarrh.

The symptoms of chronic catarrh vary
according to the stage and exact location of
the disease. The first stage of catarrh of
the nose and head produces discharge from
the nose, sneezing, pain in The eyes and
forehead, weak, and sometimes watery eyes,
occasionally loss of memory. In the last
stage the discharge ceases, and dry, often
sive scabs form in the nose; polpyi growths
sometimes form I'm one or both nostrils, and
the pain in the head and eyes is much less.
Unless something is done to prevent, the
catarrh will follow the mucous membrane
into the lungs, where 1t will be followed by
cough, night sweats, rapid loss of flesh, and
the other dread symptoms of consumption.
Pe-ru-na Is specific for every case of ca
tarrh, whether the disease is located In the
lungs, kidneys or stomach. The dose of
Pe-ru-na should be large tablespoonful of
before each meal and at bedtime. Women
and some delicate men should begin with a
q teaspoonful, and slowly and gradually in
crease to the above full dose.
Free books on chronic catarrh la grippe,
coughs, colds and consumption are being
sent to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Company of Columbus,
