RoTHwELL & LovETT cANNERY
Largest and fiost Complete in the
Country New Ice Plant.

It was our pleasure Monday after
noon in company with Hon. Alexan-
der Parks, Col. James G. Frazer, Hon.
d. w. Shaffer and Mr.. II. c. Berry to
visit and thoroughly inspect the i'm
mense cannery of Messrs. Rothwell
& Lovett. The party was chaperoned
by Mr.. Lovett who courteously ex-
planned the various processes required
to prepare for market their already
Justly celebrated canned goods.
After looking through the conve-
nient office start was made from the
washer and scalder, located on the
commodious porches on the east and
south sides of the building, where
fruits and vegetables are received from
wagons after being weighed at the Of
fee. Thence the course of tomatoes
was followed to the pairing table, with
room for 500 parers; to the sorting
table; to the filters. with capacity OF
90, 600 cans a day; through the brush
ing machine; to the Gaping table;
through the soldering machines;
through a hot-water tank which ex-
pels the air; to the table where the
"pips" are soldered; through the
cooker and cooler to the packing room.
The cold storage rooms, with a ca
pacity of IS, 900 barrels of fruit, and
the tin shop were next visited. All
of the latest and best machinery for
making cans is up or being put in
place and it is expected they will
make 1000, 600 cans this year. A
crimping and soldering machine, the
invention OF Mr. Lovett, is curiosity
and was examined with much inter
est.
The boiler room, engine room and
ice plant (nearly complete), with con-
densers and all necessary parapher-
MALTA for manufacturing rs tons of ice
per day, elected many favorable COM
ments.
Among other features to be added
are cider mill and cooper shop. The
cider mill will be used for making
cider from parings, cores, ETC., which
will be boiled down to one-eighth its
bulk as it leaves the press, for use in
making applebutter. The press will
also be utilized for extracting pulp
from tomato rinds tor catsups.
In the cooper shop will be made all
kinds of barrels, tight and slack, and
it will not be one of the least adjuncts
to the immense plant as at least 49,,
900 barrels will be required each year.
The corn and pea machinery will
soon be in place. The manufacture
of cans will be begun in a short time,
a large amount of American tin plate
now being i'll stock
The wonderfully favorable reputa-
ton gained last year will be main
tanned, and as farmers have contracted
to grow all of the tomatoes, corn, etc,
that can be utilized, the "Tuscarora
Cannery. as it will hereafter be
known, bids fair to be one Of the
busiest places in this region of coun-
try this summer.
All OF the visitors were both sur
prised and delighted. Surprised at
the magnitude OF the establishment
and delighted at our good fortune in
securing as citizens and fellow work
ers such energetic and thorough
going business men.

Mr.. ]. M. Schryver, for many years
Assistant, has been appointed General
Passenger Agent of the Baltimore and
Ohio lines east of the Ohio river. 1t
is needless to say that the appoint
ment is one that will be most heartily
commended not only by the editorial
fraternity but by the public generally.
Mr.. Schryver has been connected with
the road for many years and has
earned his promotion. The Herald
ventures the assertion that Mr.. Martin
will never have cause to regret his
action.

Matters about the B. & 0. shops are
anything but satisfactory at this time
1t is clear that change is to occur
and that a wholly different line of
work will be done here. The COM
mittee which recently visited the Re-
ceivers were assured that it is not their
intention h. discriminate against this
city. On the contrary there is every
reason for believing that in the very
near future more men will be employed
in the shops than now. We are able
to state on what we believe to be the
very best authority that this city has
been selected as headquarters for the
department of maintenance of way
and that in the very near future we
shall see all OF the shops filled with
busy men. Let all possess their souls
in patience even though the present
does not look propitious

Mayor Henshaw' letter to the chair
men of the city committees informing
them that voters in the lookup on
election day will not be liberated ex-
cept upon payment of fines and costs
and not upon security of any candi-
date, and remarks that "this will do
very we'll provided the officers per-
form their duty faithfully and honest

beginning that crooked work will
not be submitted to. The Herald
would suggest that the officers will
DO their duty and if Pops wish to vote
they will do well to keep duly sober.

MUNICIPAL nATTERS.

From reports submitted to the
Council, it is evident that the finan
cial condition of this municipality is
very good.
The Mayor commends all of the Of
ficers for their faithful performance O
duty and his report indicates that he
was not slack by any means. There
were 275 arrests and "a commitments
to Jail.
The total of fines imposed and
collected from June I, 1896, to May
8, 1897, was $I,or3.o7, which is far
in excess of any previous year
Treasurer's receipts were $24,I5S.-
rs, and disbursements $40, 4s7. 20,
leaving balance in bank subject to
check of $3,7oI.75. The Sergeant
has collected $50, 357.7S and has taxes
and water rent on hand for collection,
$I3, 600. 10. The Clerk as weigh and
market master collected $253.3I.
1t is very gratifying to know that
the city is in frst-class condition;
that important Improvements have
been made in various departments
during the past year, and that all
officers have been faithful and dill.
gent. We shall publish the reports
in full in our next issue.

1t is evident that the end of repair
work at the B. & o. shops, in this
city, is here. Orders have been re-
ceived for the removal of 10 machines
and by the end of this month all will
besilent where industry should thrive.
During all of the depression of bust
ness during the past four years while
revenues were falling off all along the
line, Martinsburg not only did not
recede but gave the road more bust
ness and therefore more money than
ever before. 1t would seem like poor
policy on the part of the road to de-
sert us now that there is promise of
a return of prosperity. The Herald
hopes for better times and ample rec
ognition by those in authority.

are the most fashionable. Sometimes these
boas are mixed with down; sometimes they
are divided into tails, or rather tassel, at
the ends. The gray shades are becoming
only to women having color.
Openwork black Isle and silk stockings
are much worn with slippers and low
shoes. Plaid stockings are beginning to
be seen, but are not likely to attain the
popularity here that they enjoy in France
There is revival Of clicked hosiery, which
is always pretty.
Felt hats are seen in all the colors of the
rainbow and in a great variety of shapes
Handkerchiefs with wide hemstitched
borders are out of date this year Borders
are narrower, seldom exceeding an inch
in width. The newest thing in mourning
handkerchiefs is a square of dead black
linen embroidered with white.
An illustration is given which shows a
decidedly new jacket. The material is
deep blue cloth, and the body of the jacket
is close fitting, being quite smooth below
the waist as well as above. The lower
edge, the corners, the back and the shawl
collar are ornamental with black passe-
menterie. The sleeves, "a La juive," are
open in front and are likewise enriched
with black passementerie, and are lined
with white silk. The jacket is closed by
two large steel buttons

MUM. Bought silk stockings are unsub-
stantial things but hand knitted ones last
Indefinitely. Bought silk mittens are al
ways too broad and too short and are like
wise too loose in the wrist
Knitting is pretty work and has many
poetical associations. Add to those recon-
mendations the more practical one that
there are numerous knitted articles which
are attractive presents, and there seems
to be quite sufficient reason for the revival
of the popularity of the art. Our grand
mothers would have been as ashamed Of
being unable to knit as of being unable to
sew, and every woman sews
Today's illustration shows a gown of
green taffeta. The skirt is trimmed on
each side with three oblique bands Of
black guipure insertion, which meet In
points at the back. The bands of insertion
are edged with black velvet The close
fitting bodice has sailor collar and revers
covered with an application of black
guipure. The front opens over crossed
chemisette of black guipure over green
taffeta. The belt is of black velvet en-
broidered with steel The hat, Of black
velvet with steel embroidery, is trimmed
with mauye flowers and green foliage.

are worn to match the gown and hosiery
for evening occasions and everyday recep
tions
Spangled and beaded gauze, illusion
and tulle are seen iii profusion for use in
ball and other evening costumes. A nov
city in transparent fabrics is entirely COM
posed of tiny ruffles of fine white net edged
and studded with spangles Closely shirred
gauzes are also something new, and are to
be had by the yard.
Many of the new moire silks are very
beautiful There are several novelties in
watered effects, which show to especial adj
vantage in pale, delicate colors
Belts of gold or silver webbing, or else
embroidered with gold, silver or steel, are
much worn and brighten up a quiet cos
tune very prettily. a high collar to match
sometimes finishes the neck of the gown.
The picture given today illustrates a
loose sack with vatican plait falling
from the neck at the back, but having a
perfectly plain front. 1t is of black cloth,
the lower edge being cut in scallops. The
flaring collar is composed of rounded tabs,
which are heavily embroidered as are the
straps fastened over the shoulders by horn
buttons The sleeves are of a bell shape
and are scallopcd and embroidered. The
front closes with square horn buttons and
is finished by jabot of lace

revers, panels and plated quilles. The
silk is usually of a contrasting color, or at
least of different shade.
Greens and blues still keep the lead as
fashionable colors. Perhaps purple, in it's
various shades, should be mentioned in
the same category. Other colors also are
worn, but not so universally. Red seems to
be coming forward in favor.
The illustration shows formal costume
of green taffeta The skirt, which has q
slight train, is trimmed in front with two
quilles of cream guipure embroidered with
gold, which forms the tablier. The close
bodice has plastron, back and front, of
gold embroidered guipure over mauve
silk. The plastron, which is full in front,
is framed by bretelles composed of dou-
BILE, plated frill of green taffeta. The close
sleeves of green taffeta open over crosswise
plaitings of the same material and have a
small puff at the shoulder The collar is
of mauve tatfeta. The toque is of mauve
flowers and gold embroidered lace

cloth costume embodies the very spirit of
the mode and leaves nothing to be desired
as an exposition of fashion. Wooden goods
which are not, strictly speaking, CLOTH
but have its thickness, softness and gen
eral qualities, are treated in the same way
and ornamented after the same method.
Now that skirts are becoming more dec
orative in character there is fancy for dis
tinguishing the front in some way. The
tablier is often framed in panels or quilles
or it is arranged to button on one or both
sides The edges may be straight or cut
into fanciful shapes or elongated into
straps, which are fastened in place by but
tons or buckles.
Some of the new models of jackets are
Cnly half fitting instead of being close
This style is never really pleasing, being
neither one thing nor another, but every
now and then it returns to favor temporari-
ly, as change probably, for there is moth
ing to recommend it otherwise
The illustration shows a wedding cos
tune of white satin. The skirt has long
train, the fullncss being gathered in at
the waistband at the back. The bodice is
tight at the back and draped crosswise in
front, having a guimpe of white NOUS
seine de sole trimmed with plaitings of
mousselino. Tho close sleeves are slightly
gathered and open at the shoulders over
plaitings of white mousseline de sole, u
| knot of orange flowers being placed at the
opening. Orange blossoms are likewise
arranged at the left shoulder, with white
satin bow. The collarette and sleeve frills
are of lace, the veil of illusion.
