"a Beneiactor of His Day and
Genera ton.

Winchester, Va, may well feel
proud of a former citizen ike MIR.
Clas. Broadway Rouss, of lew ! ork,
who has so often shown his interest
in the welfare of his native town.
He has made many valuable dona-
tions TO the city for objects that were
of general benefit. Years ago he
made handsome donations to the FIRE
department, placing it among the
finest equipped in the country. a
few days ago lie sent them a check
for 81 600 with " bich 10 assist them
in purchasing hook and ladder
truck. But this was the least of his
gifts, for Ibis spring he gave the city
$50, 600 with which to improve the
city's water supply. He also sent
the Agricultural Society 81, 600 which
he gives annually TO assist i'll making
the fair a success.
What is most conmendable and
worthy of imitation is, that Mr.. Rouss
does not wait until death takes him
off to make his benefactions, hui
gives of his means during life, so
that he can see the good they do and
enjoy the happiness they bring to
his feIlowmen. Such philanthropists
are few, but their acts are worthy OF
imitation. II must surely be plea
sure to the truly benevolent TO see
what pleasures their gifts bring TO
tue recipients. and why more of them
do not make their requests during
their lifetime, and while they can
see that their desires are carried out,
is beyond explanation. Past history
should teach oil benevolent inclined,
that so many requests have failed to
do their object through legal techni-
calities or other instructions, whilst
had they made them before death all
these would have been avoided. The
ReVs hopes to hear of many more
following AIR. Ropss' commendable
acts.-Shippensburg, (Pn.) Ne,os.

The annual picnic of the baptist
Sunday School was held at Island
Park, last Thursday. The special
train left promptly at 9 A. NJ. with
over two hundred people aboard,
and arriving at Harper's Ferry were
met by the special train from layers
town, continuing five hundred people.
At the Island the tgo trains were
greeted by the Martinsburg and
Shenandoah junction schools, num-
beriDg considerably over two hun
dred teachers, scholars and friends of
the schools. At eleven O'Clock the
gathering congregated in the large
pavilion, where an interesting pro-
gram was gone through with, con-
sistingof singing and short addresses.
A most enjoyable feature of the ex-
ercises was the music rendered by a
male quartette from Hagerstown.
Then came the dinner hour, and all
over the Island could be found groups
of men women and children supply
ing the inner man most beautifully
with the good things spread before
them. After dinner every one pro-
ceeded to enjoy themselves as best
they might, by engaging in boating,
swinging. see-sawing, base ball,
promenading, children wading in the
water, riding the merrY=go-round,
&c. AT three o'clock came the chief
amusement of the day. After the
rendering of several pieces of music,
it was announced that gentlemen
would be called upon to speak, not
knowing the subject to be talked
about until the speaker had taken his
place before the audience. This
proved 10 he a very pleasing and
most enjoyable affair to the audience
as well as very embarrassing stu
alton to some of the speakers.
Among those called upon for speech
was Mr. A. d. Barr, and having
taken his stand was told to inform
the audience what lie knew about
Sugar" This lie did in manner
which caused roars of laughter and
rounds of applause. Another speak
or, Mr.. LickIider, of Hagerstown,
was told TO tell IS whether or not n
Sunday school picnic was the proper
place to pop the question. Another
had to talk about "rat traps"
Another had 10 :" describe the differ
encc between horse and a mule"
and so on until quite n number had
spoken. After more music, short
and earnest talks were made upon
the Sunday school work in general.
Altogether, the day was a most pleas
urahIe one, not single incident oc-
curing to mar the happiness which
was so greatly manifested in every
orc present. The thanks of the
sthco! are G,:e 10 Mr.. Barr, Superin.
tcndcnt, and Mr.. ID. y. Phillips,
chairman of the committee. for their
unsparing efforts TO make the day
one long 10 he remembered.

THE STAMP OF STYLE.

A stylishly made dress Of PEiestly silk
warp clairottp, with either satin or moire
trimming, will be found one OF the most
satisfactory additions to tho summer ward
robe.
A stylish waist is of india silk. The
front and back are shirred full at the waist
line, a shirred collar and enormous bow
finish the neck, and the sleeves arc made
of black and white striped satin.
A much admired waist is OF velvet and
embroidery. The sides and back arc very
nearly close fitting The front is slightly
loose, the sleeves arc in full bishop style
and shoulder ruffles and suggestion of a
figaro jacket are of embroidery.
The sash is am institution by itself, and
the young woman of means invests in one
almost every time she goes shopping.
Sashes aro in all styles, from stiff moIre
ribbon to soft silk, depending largely on
the dresses with which they arc worn.
Cotton satcens are again coming into
favor. 1t is to be hoped that some way
will be devised to weave them so that they
will not get stringy us soon as they are
worn. Most of these dresses, after a few
hours use, look as untidy as a tIImbled
pocket handkerchief.
Draperies nre growing moro eccentric.
Ono of the latest is nm overskirt cut In
very wide scallops. A largo sized milkpan
must have furnished the model for the
scallop. This skirt is draped quite full
at the sides and very scant in front over
a plain skirt of embroidery or some fig
urcd material. The waist is of the figured
goods Tho enormous sleeves arc plain,
to match the draperies,-N York Led
