We give in the general election
news an account of the elections IN

about West Virginia and especially
Berkeley county. Such a sweep of
the State was never heard of, never
dreamed of, and the enemy is ours,
OURS, OURS. West Virginia has
thrown off the maracles of Demo-
cratic thraldom, and the echo of the
Democratic ROSTERS crow is rot
even a shadow. In the State every
Republican Congressman is elected
and the Republican majority is a.
600, gain of over $4,000 for Repub-
licanism over Democracy. The most
gallant fight ever made and the most
glorious victory ever achieved was
that OF Hon. Aston G. Dayton, the
Little King Pepin, over VIM. L. Will
son, the British Free Trade Giant,
by a majority of 2,142. North Car

FoRTHE WORLDS BENEFIT the
edification of our esteemed contemp
orary we rehash few of his state
ments clipped,from his last few issues,
May he read and reflect on what
might have been. Get your little
boat:
Wilson is the real friend of the
laboring man.
The laboring man cannot trust the
republican any longer.
You are beat and badly beat. The
speaking Saturday night did it.
Mr.. Mckinley can be Justly re-
garded as the most lonesome figure
in American politics.
1t will take but a glance to fine
that not only have the democrats
by far the best men but by tar tn,
best principles.
They realize they are beat, and
like drownding man they are grasp
ing at every little thing to keel
their heads above water.
1t was truly said that Saturday
nights speaking at the Central Oper,
House made more democratic vote,
than any speech made here during
the campaign.
Republican speakers Throughout
this congressional district have taller
before the great arguments and plail
facts OF the democratic speakers lik
the blade of grass before the scythe
And yet the World says we hav'
nothing to retract nor no recanta
tions to make.

QUEEN EsTHER-THE ORAToRIo
ExoELLENTLY RENDERED. AS an
nounced in our last issue we give
this week an account Of the rendi-
ton of "Queen Esther" the oratorio
by local talent under the direction of
Prof. G. W. Clary. There was a
large audience to hear the first per-
Torrance on Monday night of last
week, and almost as large one when
the second rendition was given on
the Thursday night following. Prof.
Clary may we'll feel proud of the ex-
cellent support each performer gave
him and Martinsburg has much to
boast of in her local talent. The
plot of the oratorio is familiar to all,
and Miss Beulah Evans, as "Queen
Esther" with J. 0. Brockenshire as
"King Ahasuerus," were exceedingly
happy in their interpretations. Mr..
A. D. Darby, as "Haman," Mrs. DR..
Morrison as "Zeresch." Miss Rose
Cunningham, as "Mordecai's Sister,
Miss Belle Martin, as "Prophetess, +"
Prof. D. Gold Miller. as aScribe, !"
Mr.. Chas. Amey, as Illegal" Mr.. o.
car Sprinkle, as "High PRIEST" and
Mr.. John L. Bateman, as Herald
with solos were each cordially re-.
ceived, the applause rounding up
each act showing how favorably the
audience was impressed. Miss Mar
tina Little, as first maid of honor, in
the solo, "Thou wilt keep him in per.
feet peace" was to us one of the
most impressive parts of the even
ing's entertainments, but the solos
of the Queen, Mordecai's Sister and
Mordecai in act second were none
the less beautiful. Not detracting,
however, to the success of the 9TH
ers, we think Mr.. r. Frank Barr, as
Mordecai, especially his interview
with the Queen and other solos and
Duets in act second were the best
features of the oratorio.
The costumes were furnished by
Prof. Clary and the stage settings
were very nice. The Martinsburg
City Band aided with its attendance,
and Thompson's Orchestra of twelve
pieces also assisted and added great
ly to the pleasure of the occasion.
Prof. Clary returns his thanks to all
who helped him, and especially te
the orchestra for their kindly ser
vices.
1t was expected that Prof. Clary
would respect the performance fol
the benefit of the Chambersburg PEG
pie at that place, bnt the proposed
trip has been abandoned.

laughing festival, Lord Rooney
The company comprises Matt
Josie and Master Pat Rooney, and
several other well-known New York
favorites, all of whom have won a
deservedly prominent place on the
farce comedy stage. "Lord Rooney
is one of the most successful comedy
attractions on the road. The dialogue
in Lord Rooney" is said TO possess
more literary merit than is usually
found in farce comedies. 1t is spark
lingly witty, and without plot or
play would of itself be exceedingly
enjoyable. The story of the skit.
though, is interesting and we'll told
The incidents follow each other with
rush, and there is "gon to the
piece that is irresistible. The vivac.

accompanying the performance that
is refreshing and promoting.

list when it was produced in N. Y.
by the Madison Square Stock Co.
some years ago. The scene in the
third act between the burglar and
little Editha, which has been pro-
nounced one of the most beautiful
and pathetic on the modern stage

titled "Edith's Burglar" written by
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, au-
thoress of that famous play Little
Lord Fauntleroy." The cast Is
headed by the wonderful child ac-
tress, little Lottie Briscoe, who has
established for herself a great repu-
tation. AS Editba throughout the
country little Lottie is the posses
sor of a wonderful voice in addition
to her talent as an actress and nc
one should fail TO hear her Swiss
yodeling songs. The leading part
of "The Burglar" is in tie hands OIL
the clever young romantic actor
