Advice About the Eye.

The man or woman whose sight
is good forgets all about the pre-
cious sense of sight, and such a cat
astrophe as impaired vision of blind
ness is never dreampt of.
Even when because of age glasses
become necessary a most foolhardy
economy will prevent the posssssor
to have the proper glasses fitted and
for the sake of few dollars or in
deed few cents The eyes are put of
to do the best they can with pair of
glasses wich are totally unsuitable.
The eye in health is capable of won
derful work, but it must have a rea-
sonable amount of care or its capaci
ty to help its owner may be greatly
reduced IN years to come. When it
warns you that something is wrong,
pay attention to it, and consult com.
petent advice, in order to satisfy
your mind whether any trouble more
serious is to follow. The question
arises ITO whom shall / go?n The
wisest plan is to consult your family
physician first. He will probably
after examination find that glasses
are needed, and for these will refer
you to Leech, Stiles & Co.'S repre-
sentative who is making regular Wis
its to this city. Leech, Styles 4
Co., formerly with Queen & Co., OF
Philadelphia, are reliable irm who
thoroughly understand how glasses
should be fitted. Your eyes will be
safe with them. The next visit to
Martinsburg will be Thursday, Feb
Is, at the st. Clair Hotel parlors,

A Coon PLAY.-The citizens of
Martinsburg will be afforded an op-
portunity of seeing the beautiful do
nestle comedy drama, "Only a Far
mer's Daughter" produced by a
Metropolitan company of players, di-
rect from their 800 nights run in N,
Y. City. The piece has earned a firm
place in the admiration of the Amer
lean people blending in a most effec-
tive way a great diversity of dramat-
lc elements, comedy pathos and emo
tional drama, with a good sprinkling
of melo-drama. II abounds in strong
situations and pretty stage pictures
and its appearance Is sure to create
great interest here. 1t includes in
the cast such well known people as
w. K. Melville, the funny comedian;
j. r. Collins, the young heroine &C.
tor; Miss Constance Davenport, as
Mdme. Laroot, the adventures S.
Lester Wallack, as Jack Hartley, the
william; Miss Maria Douglass. the

BERKELEY SPRINGS NEws.-Mr. L
L. Bender, Of Martinsburg, was here
Tuesday on business.
Our Bank is cozier than ever, and
we don't believe there is one in the
State more systematic.
Pleased to meet Mr.. Jas. B. Fish.
er of Martinsburg, Bishops we'll
known salesman, here Tuesday. He
is quite pleasant gentleman. He
was accompanied by Mr.. Sprague
Bishop.
Rev. Mr.. Wrightson, formerly the
Methodist circuit minister here, was
married Wednesday evening to Miss
Annie Fisher, of Sir Johns Run.
Miss Fisher is the accomplished
daughter of Mr.. Jules Fisher. And
her many friends wish her long life
and happiness.
On Sunday morning as everybody
was getting ready for Sunday school
the tannery whistle began to blow
and the people began to wonder
whether they had mistaken the day,
but on second thought it came to
them that it was an alarm of fire. 1t
did not take long for the bucket bri-
gade to get to the scene of confla
grafton which proved to be the kitch-
en- roof of the building occupied by
Chas. Cunningham. The flames were
soon put out, and very little damage
was done. We presume it caught
from the stove pipe.

BUSINESS MEN RALLY.-In a few
days there will be meeting of the
business men of Martinsburg at
which the future welfare of Martins
burg and how to obtain it will be
discussed. We hope the meeting
will be attended by every merchant
and business man in Martinsburg.
We believe the renewal of the pat.
ronage of the B. & 0. R. r. at Mar
tinsburg is blow that should cause
Martinsburg Ito commonly express
it) to "get hump on herself" We
have plenty of good and worthy .un-
employed that need work, and upon
them depend plenty of good and
worthy families that will have to be
taken care OF by their labor. Mar
tinsburg wants few industries of a
substantial kind, like those now run
by the Middlesex and Kilburn Knit
ting companies. We would not be
surprised within two months that
Martinsburg will be completely cut
off from B. & 0. patronage and when
that occurs we should have some
thing else to depend on.

TABLER-MINGHINI.-No prettier
wedding was ever solemnized in the
quiet little hamlet of Middleway, at
the NJ. E. Church South, than that
Mr.. A. Howard Tabler, youngest
son of Mr.. James W. Tabler, of Der
kelley county, and Miss Irene Lee
Minghini, the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
L. Minghini.
The bride was elegantly attired in
beautifully fitting costume Of green
broadcloth, trimmed with bengaline
and jewel trimming, with hat and
gloves to match, and carried a pearl
prayer book. Miss Kate Tabler,
sister of the groom, was maid of
honor handsomely dressed in green
broadcloth. trimmed with silk and
velvet. She carried a bouquet of
La France roses. DR.. w. E. Min
ghini, brother of the bride, was best
man. Messrs. Bates Minghini,
Claude Stewart, ]. Deane Ziler and
Charles Pine acted as ushers. The
wedding march was rendered by
Prof. Gold Miller, accompanied by
his brother with the cornet. On en-
tering the church one would imagine
that he was in the tropical region.
Beautiful flowers, artistically arran-
ged, presented an enhancing scene.
The bridal party proceeded up the
aisle passed under an arch of ever
greens, from which was suspended
the letter M and approached the altar
where the wedding ceremony was
performed by the Rev. j. P.
Stump, of Woodstock, Va. cousin
of the bride, in solemn and impress
siye manner. Upon leaving the
church the bridal party passed under
another arch from which the letter
7 was suspended, thus completing
the monogram. After the wedding
an elegant lunch was served at the
home of the bride at which about one
hundred and fifty guests were pres
ent after which the bride and groom
drove to the city and took the 1880
p. m. train on their wedding tour.
They were the recipients of many
handsome and useful presents, which
carried with them the love and good
wishes of their numerous friends.
May joy and happiness atsend them
through life World.

ed in Gettysburg for the murder of
Emanuel Nom, in Adams county,
Pa, Feb. 3, 1893. Nom was about
80 years old and was engaged in
chopping wood the winter of 1892
SO. With him in a hut on the noun
tain lived Hest Nom was killed
and his body was buried under pile
of rocks. The heavy snowfall helped
hide his body until March IL, when,
his absence being noted, searching
party was made up and he was found
near his hut. His death had evil
IDENTIFY been caused by blows upon
the head with a Ratchet. Hest was
Immediately suspected, because of
the facts that he lived with Nom,
that he had sold some of Monn's be-
longings and that he had told con
Trajectory stories as to Monn's
whereabouts, one being that Nom
had gone to Seven Stars and said he
would not return. His suspicious
and nervous actions led to his arrest

from the Philadelphia Times man
agement informing her of the death
of her husband, which occurred in
Philadelphia at noon that day. For
almost ten years Col. Burr was con-
nected with the staff of the Times

His literary career has been unusual
ly interesting, and some able articles
in the leading magazines of the coun-
try have come from his pen. For
several years he was suffering from
Bright's disease, the ravages ofwhich
finally caused his death. Mrs. Burr

CoRBETT vs.. MIToHELL.-John l..
Sullivan says relative to the fight be-
tween the American and Englishman:
" think the fight will be long
drawn out because neither of the
men will go right in and fight.
| expect the early rounds in the fight
to be decidedly tame. Mitchell will
naturally want to try short arm
fighting and Corbett will want to
keep the fighting at his best point,
which is long arm work. His play
will be to get Mitchell to do the
leading. If Mitchell does so then
Corbett's superior reach win tell.
Mitchell has not done any fighting
for long time, and has cared for
his broken hands. lie has not been
so far out OF condition as it is claim
ed, and l think be will fight at very
much lighter we light than. most peo-
pie think he will.n

"THE STRUGGLE OF LIFE. The
gFandest scenic production ever put
on any stage is Walter Sanford s
"The Struggle Of Life" which will be
at the Central Opera House, Jan. %.
This is one Of the many attractions
that Mr.. Sanford has on the road
and he considers it the best. ''The
Struggle of Life" is certainly a good
play, and much better than the ordi-
nary melodrama. The company
playing the piece is one of Mr.. San.
fords strongest, and the best that
money could get. This powerful
melodrama is Illustrated by the fol
lowing scenes: Battery Park in win

with view of the shipping on East

What Became of a Lie.

First somebody told it;
Then the room wouldn't hold 1t
So the busy tongues rolled it
Till they got it outside;
When the crowd came across 1t
To and fro all must toss it.
Till it grew long and wide.
From very small lie,
It grew deep and high,
Till it reached to the sky,
And frightened the moon;
For she hid her sweet face.
At the dreadful disgrace,
That had happened at noon.
This lie brought forth others,
Dark sisters and brothers,
And fathers aud mothers
A terrible crew;
And while headlone they hurried,
The people they flurricd
And troubled and worried;
As lies always do.
And so, evil bodied,
This monstrous lie goaded,
Till at last it exploded
In smoke and in shame,
While from mud and from mire
The pieces few higher
And hit the sad liar,
And killed the good name. j. B.
