portance.

Personals A Sociable - Runa-
way Match.

Mr.. Henry Myers has returned home
from pleasant visit to relatives near
New Franklin, Pa.
Miss Selma Byers has returned to
Shepherd College since the vacation.
Prof D. Gold Miller has flourish
ing singing school of thirty scholars
at the U. B. church.
Miss Fannie Byers and brother have
returned from Hagerstown, much
pleased with their visit.
The school at this place, taught by
Miss Mollie Wolf, is progressing nice
ly.
Miss Lille McQuilkin, of your city,
was the charming guest of Miss Gertie
Myers several days during the holt
days.
Miss Mable McQuilkin, of your city,
is the guest of Miss Bessie Daily.
The lovely home of Mrs. Daily was
brilliantly illuminated onF riday night,
4th inst, whilst grand social was
being held, participated in by large
number of young folks. The family
being religiously inclined, dancing
was not INDUCED in; but games of all
kinds were played until a late hour
when refreshments were served. After
which delightful music, both vocal
and instrumental, was the order of the
night. The organ was presided over
by Miss Minnie Daily in her usual
graceful style which, together with
the sweet voices of herself and Miss
Blanche Foltz, was almost divine.
After which the company dispersed,
much to the regret of all, hoping to
soon meet again.
There is always the attraction of
romance about runaway marriage,
but it is not often that a young couple
runs away for the sake of the romance
and the excitement alone. There was
such case IN Hagerstown, Monday,
however. Two young people of this
place, with whom the course of true
love had been running too smooth,
went up to Hagerstown to be married
as they had parental objections at
home. They thought to give the old
folks surprise Mr. David c. Horn
had been for some time keeping COM
pany with Miss Emma Estella, daugh-
ter of Mr.. T. H. Staley, of this place
Miss Staley was visiting friends in
Martinsburg and on Monday morning
she talked matters over with her hus-
band-elect and they went up to Hag-
erstown in search of a matrimonial
adventure. They did not know ii e
matrimonial ropes of the city very
well, SO they called on an old acquain-
lance, Mr.. Rust, clerk, at Hotel Ham
ilton, who offered to act as cicerone,
and under his guidance they started
out to get license. Clerk Osweld
was found in his office and made out
a license. Then came lengthy chase
after minister Rev. S. W. Owen,
pastor of ST. Johns Lutheran church.
was finally carrolled in his study, and
after matters were explained to him he
performed the ceremony in the parlor
of Hotel Hamilton. The newly-made
Mr. and Mrs. Horn then started out
on their bridal trip homeward.

The luckiest escape silver ever
made was the repeal of the so-called
Sherman law. Had it remained in
force, all of the woes which have be-
fallen the Nation would have been at
tributed to it. The experiences of the
past sixteen months prove conclu-
sively that it was not the increased
use of silver, but fear of that which
has been clearly shown-Democratic
incompetency-which precipitated the
panic Of 1895.

Fleeing the Wrath to Come.

No other recent event depicts so
clearly the utterly demoralized condi-
ton of the Democratic party as the at
tempt on the part of Hill and Cleve-
land to patch up truce. Had either
faith in the future of the party,
neither would have yielded. 1t is
much like the tabled song of the dy-
ing swan or the deathbed repentance
of an infidel.
Cleveland has been for the past year
repudiated by the people in a manner
heretofore unknown in this country
Hill tested his strength in the State
which he had ruled as despot for
years, and was crushed beneath an
adverse majority of so, 600.
Neither of these heretofore popular
men has any political assets and when
nothing is added to nothing, nothing
is the sum.
1t is too late for them to repent.
They have sinned away their day Of
grace and will soon pass out of the
sight and minds of the people. 1t is
well that they should. The corrup-
ton which has been unearthed in New
York is directly attributable to David
B. Hill and his methods. The devas-
tation and ruin which has blighted
the industries and wrecked the bust
ness of the Nation are the sure results
of the attempt to enforce the theories
of Cleveland.
1t will not avail then to profess
friendship for each other. Their po-
litical doom is sealed The people
want no more of them Weighed in
the balances, they are fonnd wanting.

OF course not. No one should op-
pose anything Cleveland proposes. It
should be creased and slipped through

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Notwithstanding Mr.. McKenze's defense
of the contractors work. it does not change
the fact that our streets are not swept and
cleaned as they should be. nor as they have
been in the past. Let any person watch
the machine brooms skip along, jumping
over depressions and falling, because of
their lightness, to take up dirt that shows
the slightest tendency to adhere to the
pavement; and then see how imperfectly
the sprlnkling is done, and how slovenly
the men who clean up the dirt in the gut
ters do their work and 1t does not require
the knowledge of an expert to discover
that the whole work of sprinkling, sweep
ing and cleaning is improperly done. If
the contractor has proper outfit. the
superintendent labors hard to convince
your readers he has, then, as 1 asked some
time ago: What is our street department
for and what is 1t doing all this tme?"
ETC.. If it cannot prevent work that you call

"cruei to the individuals and discreditable

whether the contractor receives $4,000 or
Sl1 600 more this year than he did in 1884,
the work should be done great deal better
than it is being done, and l still contend
that Cur citizens have a right to expect
it, and the street sweeping department or
the Commissioners should lose no time in
seeing that it is Mr.. Mckenzie says: The
work of cleaning the streets is well done"
and yet in the next breath admits that it
is not by acknowledging that while some
times the street is only sprinlkled enough
ito enable the machines to sweep up the
dirt yet, at other times, 1t is SO saturated
with water that "the machine brooms
not remove the dirt to the gutter.bu smear
it on the pavement, which, drying, leaves
the dirt in the shape of dust to annoy the
residents and passersby next day" Pre-
csely. And that is the kind of work that
justly causes complaint. There is too much
of it. The smearing and dust-rasing are
the result of eXcaseless carelessness on the
part of the person who manipu!ates the
sprinkling machine. and there should be
power enough somewhere to stop it. Don't
tell US that you deduct from the pay of
the contractor for work badly performed"
OF course, that is taken for granted.
Neither expect any one to come to.the Of
