pepsia. Ifshe drinks hot water favored
with lemon and sweetened with sugar
when she has been out in the cold she
will ward off chills. The same agree

A Mystery of the Great Deep.

The American ship Morris, Captain
John A. Marstow, sailed from Newport
News, Va, for Barcelona, Spain, on
October 18th last, with cargo of coal,
She carried, besides her crew, the cap
tain's wife and daughter and his two
nephews, and DR.. John P. Hubbard, of
Philadelphia, and Mr.. Edward Hane-
wickle, of Richmond. Although the
ship should have reached port many
weeks ago, nothing has been heard of
her since she sailed, and it is believed
that she has been lost with all on board
-twenty-one souls. DIR. Hubbard is
a son of Rev. J. P. Hubbard, who was
for several years rector of Trinity Epls-
copal Church in Shepherdstown. He
is well remembered here as a quiet,
studious young man of most lovable
character, esteemed by all who knew
him. His friends and the friends OF

A Life Sentence for a Small Theft.

William Banks was tried in the
circuit court at Martinsburg last week
for stealing waste from the boxes of
B. & O. cars. The jury declared him
guilty as found in the indictment,
which set forth the fact that this was
the fourth time he had been before
the court, that he had been convicted
three times previously of petit larceny
and had already served two terms in
the penitentiary, the last being for
six years. Judge Faulkner thereupon
sentenced Banks to the penitentiary
for life, the law allowing him no dis
erection in the matter. The Judge re-
GREETED deeply the painful duty OF
pronouncing so heavy sentence for
so trivial a crime, but the law Is man
datory and he could do nothing else.
It is the first time life sentence has
ever been passed in that court. 1t is
probable that a petition will be pre-
sented to the Governor asking for the
pardon of the unfortunate man.

been let to contract, and the contracts
for the tunnels have also been made.
