The Charles Town BurIesque
Company,


Whose first entertainment will take
place Monday evening, September
10th. in Washington Hall, is already
the talk Of the town. The company $
original and well composed show
bills can be seen everywhere, old and
Young people are all reading them
with great amusement and eager to
know .all about it, We could sup
Div our readers with all the interest
inc details, Eut we are not at liberty
to do so. Mr.. Frank Johnson, the
clerk of Watson House, and the
manager of this entertainment, wants
to keep people in suspense, TO give
them all pleasant surprise on the
evening of September 10th. All we
can say is that the entertainment is
burlesque or parody on a Coney
Island Concert Garden, with the
latest bright songs and plenty of good
up-to-date fun, which will be, at the
same time, both entertaining and
amusing, and if the people will enjoy
the entertainment as much as the
show bills seem to amuse them, they
will certainly not go home disappoint-
ed. And don't forget tits all for the
benefit of the Charles Town Band,
which deserves all the financial sup
port it can possibly get.

q Memorial Work Without q
Parallel.

1T was our pleasure recently 10 cai.
attention to the fact that the ladies OF
New orleans had determined to inter
oct themselves actively in the Work OF
establishing a grand National oon1 l,sa,
crate Memorial Association, ana thas
IN this end they would endeayor 10 Sc
c NJ r the cooperation of the women OF
fine entire South. Although TINS
Movement has not yet had time to
deyelop into definite and substantial
shane. il is gratifying to record that
every indication points to complete
and magnificent success. From all
norts of the country assurances have
been received from our noble women
of their earnest and eager desire 70
participate in this labor of love.
Recurring to what they have accom-
nIished in memorial work during
the past thirty years, when acting
individually or in small organizations,
what may we not expect when their
efforts are moulded into united ana
harmonious action?
We owe to our patriotic women the
beautiful and impressive ceremony
of decorating the graves OF our dead
upon an appointed day each year.
These floral tributes, while they are
expressive of sentiments of reverence
and regret, are perishable and require
renewal. The memorial edifice which
il is now proposed to erect VIII MUS
trate these sentiments in constant
and enduring form.
/ nnnaCInn TO
say History presents no more strlk-
ing examples of courage, devotlon
and self sacrifice than were exhibited
by our noble women during the war,
and no record of ancient or modern
times show such loyalty as theirs to
cause that went down in the gloom
of defeat. - More than quarter OF
a century has elapsed since the oyer
throw of our hopes at Appomattox,
vet the fires of love and patriotism
glow as warmly in the hearts OF the
wives and daughters of our gallant
soldiers as in the trying times OF war.
If the men of the South have COM
PEELED the admiration of the world by
the industry, zeal and courage which
they have displayed in relieving their
section from the disastrous effects OF
the war, what should limit the need OF
praise to our women? They have
shared the tolls, privations and sacri-
fees ;they have sympathizedand COM
forted, and they have inspired to exer-
ton by keeping actively alive those
sentiments with which The Southern
| heart is imbued.
i In all ages and in all countries
there have been examples of women
impressing themselves upon history
by acts of patriotic devotion, but
there is no record of the women of
nation that had suffered disastrous
defeat uniting in action to preserve
and honor the memory of the cause
Of the contest. To the wives and
daughters of the gallnt Confederate
soldiers will belong the imperishable
honor of having inaugurated patri-
otto precedent that will commend it,
self to the world.

Swept by a Cyclone

OF appreciation to the pinnacle of popularity,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has acquired q
commanding position. which has occasionally
made it bright and shining mark for knaves
who seek to foist upon the comm unity spurious
compounds in the guise akin to that of the
real article. These are most local bitters or
tones of great inipurity, and of course, devoid
of medicinal efficacy. Beware of them and
get the genuine .Bitters, real remedy for
malaria, rheumatism, kidney trouble, dyspep-
sin, nervousness. constipation and biliousncss.
Physicians of eminence everywhere commend
the great invigorant. both for its remedial
properties and its purity. A wineglass thrice a
day will soon bring rigor and regularity TO
disordered and enfeebled system.

Gormanism in Maryland is doubt
less bad, but Republican rule would
be infinitely worse. Marylanders
who call themselves Democrats
should, therefore, consider well ere
they decide TO cast their ballots
against their party. More especially
should they not surrender their State

prospect of sweeping Democratic
victory in 1896, with continued DEM

One local cause of the unex pected
defeat of VIM. l.. Wilson for congress
in the Second West Virginia district
was the appeal made by the Elkins
gang that the Wilson tariff, with its
reduction of the duty on bituminous
coal from Is cents ton TO 40 cents,
would send the mines to bankruptcy
and starve the miners by "pauper'
mined coal from Nova Scotia. The
changes were rung on this. with ire
mendous lying power, and besides
that many of the weak miners were
lntimidated and the corrupt ones pur-
,hased. Recent facts make an in
ieresting commentary on this cleo
pioneering dishonesty. The Nova
Scotia miners have not secured a
firm grip upon their own near by
market, fornearly 5000 tons of coal
went out of New York last week to
Canadian ports. Iu that one week
1,095 tons went to New Brunswick,
$500 tons to Nova Scotia, and 235
tons to Newfoundland-in all A, $50
tons. Little reason as there was
for the old duty of IS cents per ton on
bituminous'coal, there is less excuse
for the present duty of 40 cents a
ton. The only effect of any duty on
coal is to increase the cost of fuel on
the Pacific coast without any benefit
TO any interest at home or abroad
