MOONSHINERS.

The Wetzel Democrat had an edl-
torial last week in defense Of the
moonshiner. Col. McEldowney has
been reading magazine articles and
Charles Egbert Craddock's charming
stories of this peculiar class Of noun
taineers, evidently, and his big heart
has been touched by these romances.
A short time ago, in talking on this
subject, Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. Joseph S. Miller said that there
was a vast difference between the ro-
mantle stories in the magazines and
the reality. Moonshining, he said,
was a vicious and degrading occupa-
ton. The moonshiners themselves are
usually a mighty hard set. They
make whiskey more for their own con-
sumption than as a means of livel-
hood, and having plenty of it about
them they soon fall victims to the evil
habit of drinking and become the worst
sort of drunkards. Their illicit dis
ulleries are the rendezvous Of the viler
sort of people, and idleness and dunk
enness, with the kindred evils they
hatch out, are the inevitable result.
Mr.. Miller says that a very large pro-
portion of the information given the
government concerning moOnshlmng
operations is furnished by the suffering
families of those who get into bad habits
by this free whiskey-often the wives
of the illicit distillers, knowing the
only way to break up the dens Is a
government raid, will themselves give
the clues to the officers, We have no
doubt that Mr.. Miller is right. Whis-
key drinking is bad enough in any
case. When it is INDUCED in by men
whose habits of self-control are at best
not great, and the fiery stuff distilled
in mountain caverns is cheap and plen-
tiful, the result is not hard to guess.

Joined Church and Spilled the Liquor.


A dispatch from Frederick, Nd, to
the Baltimore Sun of Tuesday says ::
"a novel scene was witnessed at the
North East saloon, on East Patrick
street, VIM. L. Gilbert, proprietor, this
afternoon. Last week Mr.. Gilbert
professed religion and joined the Meth
odist Episcopal church during the re-
vival services which are being con-
Quoted by Rev. A. H. Zimmerman.
On Saturday Gilbert, who says he IN
tends leading a moral life and assist
others to do so, informed his pastor
that he was offered $3.50 for his liquor
license and the stock of goods he had
on hand, and while he was DESTROYS OF
waging war against the traffic yet he
was sorely in need of funds for the
support of his family. Sunday at his
gospel meeting exercises, Rev. Mr..
Zimmerman set forth the case of the
new convert to his audience in the City
Opera House and requested that the
amount be raised to start the young
man in a more legitimate business and
to enable him to obtain possession OF
the license and stock for destruction.
The sum was soon raised, and at 4
o'clock this afternoon Rev. thinner
man, accompanied by committee,
proceeded to Gilbert's saloon, and in
the presence of a crowd of several hum
dred people, who had congregated
there, loaded two barrels Of liquor and
one keg of gin and slot-machine on
a dray and wagon, and, driving out
on lot on the gas-house road, dumped
the liquor into a large hole. The
whiskey cortege was followed by at
least three hundred people. Gilbert,
who is about twenty-seven years OF age,
has been member of several different
churches of this city and also Of the
Salvation Army

There is much excitement in Parkers-
burg over the numerous heinous crimes
committed in that city. The latest is
an attempted assault upon little girl
eight years old by Charles Russell, her
stepfather. There is talk Of lynch

guarded.
The faculty of the West Virginia

dents caught playing poker by Presi-
dent Goodnight. Two of them,

other one will be requested, through
his father, to go home, and the sixth
will be reprimanded.
A short time ago a child was born

Completely Subjugated.

A remarkable case Of complete sub
iugation of a wild animal is reported
from the South Fork of the Potomac,
Pendleton county, W. Va. Mr.. Val
entine Swadley, a prominent citizen,
while seated at a window overlooking
the river, saw deer run into the wa
ter, closely followed by some dogs
A dog belonging to Mr.. Swadley set
in, and soon brought the deer to bay,
the other dogs joining in and giving
the game rough tussle. The deer fl
nally lay quiet as if dead, until Mr.
Swadley approached very close, when,
to his surprise, it sprang up and re-
newed the attack, including Mr.. Swad-
ley in the onslaught.
The deer was very large buck,
with immense antlers, to which Mr.
Swadley promptly fastened his grip.
The struggle was pretty even for a
while, but the buck finally gave up
completely conquered, and permitted
his captor to fondle him at his will
Mr.. Swadley, who was not seriously
hurt in the tussle, led his prize to the
stable, ard tied him UP with "a rope
halter. The buck seems reconciled tc
his new quarters, remaining perfectly
quiet and docile, and will make fine
pet.

IN Memory of Miss Anne James.

Miss Anne James passed from earth to
heaven last Wednesday, January 10,
about noon, at the home of her niece
Mrs. Crawn. near Mt Crawford, Va.
Her last illness was a severe attack oil
ia grippe" Everything that loving
hands could do was done, but after
weeks suffering, in full possession OF
her faculties, conscious of her approach
ing end, and fully prepared for it, she
fell asleep in Jesus.
Thus passed away the last member OF
a family whose name was once we'll
known and highly esteemed in this com
munity.
Her father, Mr. Thomas James, came
in early life from New York, and settled
in Shepherdstown. Here he married
Miss Elizabeth Weltzheimer, and to
them were born one son and five daugh-
tiers. The son, Mr.. Thomas James, died
in Young manhood in Selma, Alabama,
and his body was brought here and bur-
led in Elmwood Cemetery. Sarah died
child. eleven years of age Mary was
married to Mr.. David Hensell, and Ellen
to DR.. Thomas Hunter.
Miss Anne was the third daughter.
She removed from Shepherdstown to
Martinsburg and became a member OF
her sister, Mrs Hunters family; and
with them she went after the War be
tween the States to Tennessee.
Her early life and long residence in
this community made her well known
to the people, and her simple, natural,
unaffected kindness endeared her to all
who knew her, the young and the old,
the white and the cOlored as well. When
she spent the winter three years ago at
Mrs. Markets. in Shepherdstown, all
her friends were delighted to renew their
oldtime acquaintance, and she formed
many new friendships then besides.
She had one of those gentle, sanity
dispositions that seem suited best for
heaven, and when by suffering and grace
her character was ripened, God took her
suddenly away and placed her with His
gloriied ones.
The funeral services were held Friday
afternoon at four o'clock in the Episco-
pal church, of which she was a member,
and were conducted by DR.. Nelson. the
rector
Her nephews, Mr.. Samuel Hensell, of
Knoxville. and Mr. Hunter Doll, of
Chattanooga, with flial affection and
reverent hands assisted in bearing the
body of their beloved aunt to its last
resting place where it sleeps beside her
brothers in the family lot in Elmwood
Cemetery.
The floral tributes sent from Knox
vile were exquisltely beautiful and rare
white roses and hyacinths and pinks.
For more than two years past Miss
Anne James had made her home with
her niece, Mrs. Crawn, whose love has
ministered to her aunt in her advancing
age and failing health.
Mr. Samuel Hensell, to whom Miss
Anne did a mothers part when in his
childhood his own mother was taken
away, has returned her affection with
an untiring devotion, that was beauti-
full to behold, and that has made pleas
ant and peaceful her declining years on
earth. THE righteous shall be in ever
lasting remembrance. y

Notes..

The reason why kissing Is so pleas
ant is explained by an inquisitive Shep-
herdstown girl. She saysit is because
the teeth, jawbones and lips are full
of nerves, and when the lips of persons
meet, an electric current is generated.
Josh Billings says: when you

BATTLE ABBEY OF THE SOUTH.


We desire to call especial attention
to General Order No. 155 of Gen. j.
B. Gordon, printed on the first page
of the REGISTER this week. 1t will
be remembered that the generous and
noble-hearted merchant prince of New
York, Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss,
recently offered to give the magnif-
cent contribution of 100000 for the
establishment of IA grand memorial hall
where Confederate relics and memen-
toes of the late war may be preserved,
provided the people of the South
would raise a similar amount for the
same object. The splendid offer Of
Mr.. Rouss has been accepted on these
terms by the United Confederate Vet
Grams. and General Gordon makes his
appeal for help in the order referred
to. He desires that Friday, May LIST,
be set apart as memorial festival
day, and that the ladies OF the South
devote this date to raising funds for
the object named. 1t ought only be
necessary to refer to this request to
have it earnestly taken hold Of by
the daughters of the South. We want
Shepherdstown to have It's share in the
work and its portion of the honor, and
we appeal to our women to interest
themselves in the project. We haven t
a doubt that the money will be raised,
and when the Battle Abbey of the
South shall have been completed as
designed it Will not only be a source
of satisfaction to the people Of the
South and their descendants, but it
will ever stand as a monument to the
generosity and devotion of the man
who has made its establishment and
maintenance a certainty by his own
splendid gift.
