Using Pet Names.

pet names and pretty diminutivcs
should DO kept strictly for home use. They
belong to the same realm with kisses, ca
resscs and endearing expressions sacred to
family life and love and inappropriate in
the cars of tho public.
Darling Love Baby and other
caressing home names arc for home USE
Us arc the Authorizations OF Christian
names-Bad, Sadie, Eta, Lulu, etc. Bar
bara and Sarah are worthy of being hon
ored by use in public places and before
others than the family Such is the die
tum Of so good authority as Harper's Ba-
EAR which adds: a wife, in addressing her
husband, naturally says John or Mark
or Theodore, bus in speaking of him to
friends says, My husband" or Mr.. -.
If no has title, as judge or doctor or
professor, she will do well to observe this
in writing Of or mentioning him. The
married woman consults her husbands in
terests and maintains his and her own
dignity by this formality of Speech which
becomes her better than 1ippant familiar
ity in the eyes Of the world.

NEW HOME FOR THE REGISTER.
An Eligible Site Purchased and a New Build
ing to be Erected.

The REGISTER will soon have new
and permanent home for itself H. l..
Snyder has bought Of Mr. Jacob Win
termoyer the lot adjoining tn latter's
store on Main street, paying for it
the sum of 81 $50 cash. The lot is a
little over forty feet in width and runs
back depth OF 127 feet. 1t is per-
haps the most desirable location for
business house in the town-on the
Main street, in the centre OF the town,
Immediately opposite Shepherd Col
lege grounds. 1t is the intention Of
the new owner to at once erect a sub
stantial brick business block, about
forty by fifty feet in size. On the
ground floor there will be two store
rooms. On the second floor there will
be three offices in front, one Of which
will be for the use Of the REGISTER
and the others for rent. In the rear
OF these Offices will be large room
occupied by the printing office.
The lot referred TO is the larger part
Of the old tannery that was establish
ed there over a hundred years ago
just when, no one now living can re-
member. In the early part OF this
century it was conducted by John
Mottsr, from whom it passed to John
A. Marmaduke, who managed it until
after the war. Then Mr. G. I. Butler
took charge OF the tannery, finally
disposing of it to Mr.. w. A. Chapline.
Mr.. Chapline ran it for awhile, and
then discontinued the tanning bust
ness altogether-probsbly the last OF
thatindustry that Shspherdstown will
ever know. The old bark house
everybody who has ever lived in Shep-
herdstown will remember the old
bark-house-which Mr.. Joseph Wei
shans says was not Il new building
when he was a boy over eighty years
ago, remained an eyesore in the heart
of The town until last summer, when
Mr.. Jacob Wintermoyer bought the
property from Mr.. Chapline for 81 500
He tore down the old weather-b beaten
structure, and used about % feet OF
the frontage of the lot for site Tor
his clothing store. Now the remain
der OF the historic old property at last
gives way to the march OF modern i'm
provement, and where years ago great
ranks of bark were piled merchandise
will be sold, and instead Of the monot
onous rounds Of the well.remembered
old horse as he turned the bark mill
and ground out the tan, the hum Of
modern printing presses will be heard.

Tom Gregory and Dan Dayton, the
two convicted meat thieves, were
taken to the peniteDtiary at Mounds
vile last week-not, however, until
Gregory had made an effort to obtain
some chloroform aud an acid with
which be had planned to escape from
the Martinsburg Jail. On tn. way TO
the penitentiary Gregory and Dayton
made clean breast OF their crimes TO
Sheriff Gerling aud his deputies, and
told all about the robberies. They
also acknowledged that they had
robbed the meat-house OF Mr.. Thomas
Files, near Kearneysville, an account
OF which was published in the REGIS
TER at the tune. They said the door
was very securely TASTE ned, aud they
couldn't break the lock. They there

noise they used the post a. a sort of
battering rain TO smash in the door.
The farmers Of Berkeley aud Jeffer-

A Cold Bath.


Last Monday evening number Of
boys and girls were skating on the
ice on Reynolds pond, near the rail
road station. The ice was not very
strong at best, and it was no pIac e
for foolishness. But Clements Legge
went where there was crowd aud
began to cut up some didos and jump
ed and pranced until the ice gave
way and let them all into the water
all except Clements, who managed to
get ashore. The water was a couple
of feet deep, so there WAS no danger,
but there was wind scramble for
dry land This, however, was some
what difficult, for as fast as the vic
tins would step on the ice it would
break and drop them into the water.
1t was very funny-that is to those
who were not in it-and the girls are
mad because the boys on the bank
laughed SO much that they couldn't
help the victims out. Asfor Clements
Legge, the author of the trouble, they
all feel like shaking him to pieces,
especially as he didn't get wet.
Our friend George Beltzhoover was
one of tho victims. II we could only
publish the story as he tells it our
reputation as a journalist would be
made.

BARRED FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
Commercial Alliance Life Com
pany's License Revoked There.
Action Said to BE Due TO New York
State Advices.

The action of Superintendent OF In
surance James f. Pierce in requesting
the Acknowledgement to begin proceed
ings for the appointment of a receiver
for the Commercial Alliance Life In
surance Company, of this city, has re-
suited in Insurance Commissioner
Tuper, of Pennsylvania, revoking the
license of the Company to do business
in that State.
a telegram from Harrisburg, Pa, to-
day states that Commissioner Tuper, in
revoking the license and notifying the
Company to at once cease doing business
In that State, acted upon advice from the
Insurance Department of the State OF
New York that the Company Is insol-
vent.
William II. Pierce, Vice-President of
the Commercial Alliance Life Insurance
Company, was seen at his Office in the
Postal Telegraph Building to-day by
an Evening World" reporter. Regard
ing the RnIrisburg despatch Vice
the Company had been notified that its
license in Pennsylvania had been re-
voked.
sylvania large enough to make this ac-
ton disastrous to the Company" asked
the reporter.
Not necessarily So" replied Mr..
Pierce. I'VE have done very large
and prosperous business in that State.
better even than in New York, and, of
course, 1t will be a great loss to us. If,
however, we make good the deficiency
that the Superintendent of Insurance
says exists, the Pennsylvania authori-
ties will have to renew our license"
Continuing, Mr.. Pierce said that he had
not seen the President of his Company
to-day, but that when he saw him last
night the President said that the money
to cover the deficiency would be deposit
ed. The question of a deficiency Is dis
puted by the Company's officials.
The controversy arises over the fact
that the Company holds It has right
to treat unpaid premiums, which are
to be paid in monthly, bi-monthly and
semi monthly payments, as assets. The
, Company has heretofore in its state
ments treated such premiums as as
sets.
The officials of the Company claim
that their legal advice is that they
could beat the State Insurance officers
If they took the question into. the
courts, but that the business of the
Company would be injured before de-
cision could be reached.
