TIE Sun DO MovE.-John Jasper,
the negro preacher, always stuck to
it that the sun do move, and Jasper
was right. In fact. so far as has
been discovered, it has not only one
motion, but three. First, it revolves
on its axis. Astronomers know this
by the regular recurrence and dis
appearance of the sun spots. Its next
motion is not so well understood.
But it has been found that our great
sun itself revolyes slowly around the
centre of gravity of the whole solar
system, wherever and whatever that
is, just as the magnetic pole of the
earth is believed to have a motion
around in a small circle. Besides
these two there is another motion
which would be calculated to Off
right the timid if its goal and aim
were not so very far of. Wise men
have discovered that the sun, with
all its planets trailing after it, is
rushing at breakneek speed into the
constellation Hercules, in due time
to be swallowed up by that constel-
lation. The speed at which we are
lhfying toward Hercules is consid-
cred by the best authorities on the
subject to be at least 150,000,000
miles a year. But this universe
shall not get there in our lifetime
norour children's.

DEATH OF Miss VIRGINIA CHEW
Christmas this year, as last year and
other years, is mysteriously mixed
with gladness and with gloom. Be-
fore noon there seemed to be peace
and gladness everywhere; later on
the sympathetic heart of the COM
munity was touched by the an
nouncement that death invaded the
happy home of Col. r. P. Chew and
took from it a beloved daughter.
The story is briefly told Virginia,
second daughter of Col. and Mrs. R.
P. Chew, died suddenly at noon yes
.terday (Christmas) after three days
sickness. SheSwas sixteen years of
age last May. Lovely in disposition
of charming manner and intellectual.
She won friends and kept them. She
was a grand daughter of the late
Col. John Augustine Washington,
who was a grand nephew of General
Washington and the last private
owner of Mt. Vernon.-C Charles

MUSICALE AT Mr.. W. O.. N1cKLA

MUSICALE AT Mr.. w. O. NIcKLAs.
The musicale given by some of the
ladies of the Presbyterian church at
the residence of Mr.. W. o. Nicklas
on Thursday night was delightful
event. The proceeds were for the
benefit of the church, and. a snug
sum was realized The programme
consisted entirely of musical num-
bers, each of which brought forth
merited applause. The Triple Trio
Mandolin Club opened and closed
the entertainments, and acquitted
themselves with much credit. Mr.. S.
w. Walkers solo, Last Night was
excellently rendered, as we'll as the
instrumental solo of Miss Myrs
Cline, but both. of them declined the
hearty encores made to them. The
quartette, Miss Wisner, soprano,
Mrs. Morrison alto, S. w. Walker
tenor and Mr.. Melcher bass, sang a
double number, the pleasing old
time melodies, "Annie Laurie" and
"Flow Gently, Sweet Alton"
"Chrstmas," a baritone solo by Mr..
Melcher, merited and received lib
eral share of the applause. The Rev.
Dr. Woods, Prof. Andrew Woods,
and Messrs. David Woods and VIC.
Melcher, with their two serenades,
were full of feeling, and met with
great favor by the audience. Few
knew that DR.. Woods was such an
excellent tenor. The violin solos of
Miss Appleby. of Washington, form
ed the most interesting part of the
numbers. She was accompanied by
by Miss Wisner. Miss Appleby has
technique, together with true art.

Deafness Cannes, be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have q
rumbling sound orimperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in-
Aammation can be taken out and this
tube restored toits normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
face. @

the entertainment she gave in that

know that we appreciated MissE lda's
kindness if she appreciated the JUS

HAaERsToWN Has A SHOOTING
CAsE.-Tuesday evening at I O'Clock
a half dozen shots were fred in Court
Place. Shortly after the shooting,
Van L. Wolff, saloon keeper of

Justice Bitner heard two shots in
rapid succession and hurrying to the

his door with revolver in his hand.
There were no officers around just at
that time and Justice Bitner called
to q crowd to arrest the man Taken
before Justice Bitner, he was com

A sUeeEsr1oN TO OUR Co1LEars.

A SUGGESTION TO Our COLLEGES
The price of instruction at the col
lege is higher than the price of many
secondary or even primary private
schools One hundred and fifty dol
lars is an extreme price for tuition
at certain priyste schools. But there
are two special reasons for the in
crease of fees. The one of less force
is that not a few rich men are not
willing to give their money to afford
the sons of other rich men an educa-
tion at less than its cost. A friend
of mine with whom / was recently
conversing said to me, 81 can give
you, if you wish, large amount of
money would would go for the
benefit of the son of Mr.. A. or
Mr.. b., who is perfectly able to pay
all his sons fees at their full
amount" The force of the reason
ing cannot be easily set aside, as the
truth of the fact cannot be denied.
But the special reason for this in
crease lies in the fact that money
would thus be had for the benefit of
men who could not pay tor college
education. If the American college
could increase its tuition fee to $500
there are not a few men in the col
lege who would be willing and able
to pay this fee, for the fee represents
simply what the education costs.
With the present endowments and
with the increase of endowmentssure
to be made, these payments would
allow each college to offer an educa-
tion to men who are not able to pay
for it at very small cost. Thus,
every poor boy in America who
wants an education could receive it.
