A Fine Exhibition.

The stereopticon exhibition and lee
ture given in the town hall Tuesday
evening by Mr.. and Mrs G. G. Bur-
nett, of San Francisco, entitled Sights
and Scenes in Europe" was undoubt-
edlv the best thing of the kind ever
seen in Shepherdstown. Over hun
dred views, selected with the greatest
good taste and showing the highest
degree of art, were thrown upon the
canvas by splendid instrument, and
each picture was produced with life
like clearness and beauty. Mrs. Bur-
nett operated the stereopticon, while
Prof. Burnett commented upon and
explained the views. The most inter
esting objects in nature and art IN
England, France and Italy were shown,
and the closest attention of the large
audience was held from beginning to
end. The exhibition was a genuine
treat, and we should like to see a re-
turn visit. Prof. and Mrs. Burnett
donated the entire proceeds to the
Lutheran Church, not even charging
for travelling expenses. 1t is way
they have of doing charitable and be-
nevolent work.

A Cantata in the Town Hall.

Prof. E. Stanton Field, of Philadel-
phia, recently professor of modern Ian
guages and director of music at the
Ohio Military Institute, Cincinnati,
and now visiting at "Rockland," the
old Schley homestead, has been per-
suaded to conduct Christmas cantata
to be given on Friday evening, De-
cember Goth, for the benefit of the
town hall. The cantata is entitled
Bethlehem, is very melodious, and
was composed by George Root, who
considers it his best work. It has
been produced three times in Phila-
delphia by Prof. Field with great sue
cess. Much enthusiasm has been
shown in the project, and a great
number of those in this vicinity, must
cally inclined, will take part and look
forward to the event with much pleas
ure. Anyone wishing to join in the
chorus can do so by communicating
with Mrs. Kate Reynolds, president
of the town hall association, who has
willingly undertaken the management
of the affair. A nominal fee of twen-
ty-fve cents is assessed each member
for enrolment. The first rehearsal was
held Monday night.

Two Boys in a Very Bad Fix.

Florence Donovan, son of Baltimore
and Ohio Engineer J. William Dono-
van, and young man by the name of
Singafoose, had narrow escape from
drowning and freezing to death in the
Potomac river near Weverton on We'd
nesday night of last week. They got
into boat and started to visit a fish
pot owned by Singafooses father.
When in the middle of the stream the
boat capsized and the boys were thrown
into the water. Singafoose could not
swim and Donovan went to his rescue.
The water was deep and they could
not touch bottom. The day was bit
terly cold and the boys were nearly
frozen. They finally landed on a
small island in the river, where they
became unconscious from three o'clock
in the afternoon until midnight. Sing
afoose's father saw the empty boat
floating down stream, and, fearing dan
ger, set out to hunt the boys. He
found them both on the island uncOn-
scious and chnging tightly to each
other. They were both finally restored
to consciousness. Their clothes had
frozen upon them.

A Few Railroad Notes.

There will likely be a change OF
schedule on the Norfolk & Western
Railroad on Sunday. The hight tram
for the south will be a couple of hours
earlier; No. 6, north-bound, will be
due here about 7.2O a. N, and No. 4,
north bound about $40 P. m. No 9TH
er changes are anticipated.
The Norfolk & Western Railroad
will sell tickets to Atlanta and return
on the night of December Sd and the
morning of December 4th, good for
ten days, for $18.O5. This is a very
low rate and the route is the most at
tractive that leads to Atlanta.
DAVID Bailey was struck by B. &
O. train near Martinsburg last Friday
and received injuries from which he
died a few hours later. He came to
this country from London six years
ago. He was So years old.
Jacob Lashorn, B. & 0. brakeman
who lives near Kearneysville, fell from
his train near Hancock a few days ago
and was pretty badly scratched and
bruised.
The suit of Engineer William Hoov-
er against the Norfolk & Western Rail-
road, which has been in court for a
couple of years. has been compromised.
B. & 0. engines will hereafter take
water at Cherry Run instead Of at
Martinsburg. The water at the latter

Damages, One Cent.

There was an interesting trial be-
fore Magistrate NJ. L. Eichelberger,
near Uvilla, last Saturday. Mr.. John
w. Welsh sued Mr.. Jesse A. Engle
for 800 damages for whipping his
(Welsh's) son. Mr.. Englei is the teach
er of the public school at Bakerton,
For some misbehavior of young Welsh
Mr.. Engle gave the lad sound whip
ping. His parents thought the casti-
cation too severe, and brought suit
against the teacher A jury trial was
demanded and granted, and after hear
ing the evidence and carefully consid-
ering the matter the jury returned a
verdict granting one cent damage to
Mr.. Welsh. This, Of course, put the
costs upon Mr.. Engle. Lawyer J, F.
Engle, of Charlestown, represented Mr.
Engle, and G. W. Graham, OF Har-
per's Ferry, Mr.. Welsh. Eleven wit
nesses testified at the trial, and num-
Der of interested spectators attended
the hearing.

Deserved Compliment to Judge Faulkner.

The Charlestown Advocate Of last
Friday pays the following deserved
compliment to Judge E, Boyd Faulk-
ner: The work Of the circuit court Is
hustling along and the docket promis-
es to be well cleared up by the middle
of December. The same dihgent con-
sideration of the interest Of the tax
payer is evident in the administration
Of Judge Faulkner. Not dollar is
wasted on juries that can be saved,
On yesterday nine dollars were saved
in about one-ninth of as many minutes.
A full jury was empaneled for today
and the remainder of the jury dis
charged till Monday. Judge Faulk-
ner has already saved the taxpayers
more than his judicial salary in jury
fees alone, besides the expedition of
business which could yet go to his cred
it, leaving the people very handsome
balance. Economy and facility are
the watchwords that are yielding
splendid results.

Dwelling-HOuSe Burned.

The Westinghouse Of DR.. Edward
Strobe at Swan Pond, Berkeley coun-
ty, about five miles west of Shepherds
town, was entirely destroyed by fire
Monday afternoon. The family were
in the house and smelt the smoke, but
were unable to locate the fire. Final
" closet door was opened and a mass
of flame and smoke broke forth. In
an incredibly short time the whole
house was ablaze, and with nearly every
thing in it was consumed. The only
things that could be saved were DR..
Strode's books, bed and few chairs.
The house, which was a neat and COM
Portable frame cottage, comparatively
new, was insured for about $500. The
many friends of DR.. Strobe greatly re-
greet his misfortune. The fire Is sup
posed to have originated from defec-
tive fue.

Music Teacher Appointed.

State Superintendent Of Schools
Virgil A. Lewis has appointed Mrs.
NJ. f. Butler, of this place, to be music
teacher at Shepherd College. Mrs.
Butler filled the position Of vocal
teacher last year, and has been inde-
fatigable in her work since she has
been connected with the school 1t IS
a source of regret, however, that Su-
perintendent Lewis postponed the ap-
pointment of a teacher so long. I'M
der the efficient management of Miss
Ella Fordyce and Miss Agnes Beltz-
hoover the music department of the
school had been worked up until it was
a most creditable and popular depart
ment of the college. Mr.. Lewiss de-
lay in making an appointment has
allowed the classes to disintegrate, and
it may be long time until they can
be reorganized.
