A BIT OF HISTORY.
Germantown, Pm, Was Once Called the
Capital of the Country.

Germantown, Pm, Was Once Called the
Capital of the Country.
A pupil in the Boys Grammar school.
on Lafayette street, Germantown. was
asked by his teacher "whon the first
congress occupied the Germantown
academy, located on West School lane. "
1t was puzzle, of course, to the young
scholar, who was at a loss TO find any
thing in print verifying suth an event
Tho facts, however from which the
false impression has frequently obtained
are as follows: The government of the
United States was first inaugurated in
New York in 1889, but by act of con-
gress Philadelphia was made the capital
of the nation from 1890 until 1900. In
l703 the yellow fever became epidemic
in this city, and it was i'll October of
that year that the governor of Pennsyl-
vania asked the board of trustees to &C
commodute the house of assembly, and
similar request for quarters came from
congress.
AT the November meeting following
the board proffered to congress the
choice of the school building, but there
Is no minute evidence to show that CON
gress accepted the generous offer. AT
this tiino Washington resided in German
town, and the town was spoken of as
the government place of the state, and
also of the United States. jefferson,
then secretary of state, and Randolph,
attorney general, occupied the building,
some years ago torn down to extend the
site on which the National bank now
stands, at Main street and School lane.
So, with Washington, Thomas Jefier-
son and John Randolph residing is Ger.
mantown, it is not strange that the CON
clusion should be formed that congress
was in session at the same time. AL
though the Germantown academy never
had the honor of accommodating con-
gress, a few years later, in 1898, when
the yellow fever made its appearance
again in this city, the banks Of North
America and of Pennsylvania did find a
temporary place Of SAFETY in the old /
academy. -Philadelphia Record.

Charleston Gazette.

Prof. A. d. Hopkins, of Morgan
town, entomoiogist at the West Vir-
ginia agricultural experiment station,
is in the city, guest at the Ruffner.
1t was he who spent several months
in the Black Forests in Germany,
studying the insects to be found there,
and returned to West Virginia with
millions of little beetles which he
turned loose in the pine forest Of our
State to make war on the pine de.
stroying insects which we're killing
the pine trees. BY the introduction
Of this little insect millions OF feet
of lumber were saved, and the destruc-
tive insect was almost exterminated.
Prof. Hopkins has also discovered
several other beetles which are harm
less in themselves, but Of great ser.
vice to mankind, in that they are the
enemies and exterminators of several
other insect species which are destruc.
tive to vegetable growths of several
kinds.
There is no more faithful student
at the university than Prof. Hopkins,
nor one more devoted to his special
line of work. He is always among
bis bugs, and has splendid collect

A Large Crowd at Harris.

MARrINsBURG, w. Va, Nov. g.
(The World. In spite of the en-
tertainment at the other house last
night Harris Comedy Co. played to
a large audience in the new Opera
House. The program was entirely
different from the night before and
the audience which was composed
of people who knew how to appreci-
ate good show was highly pleased.
1t was kept in laughter from begin
ming to end. The honorable way in
which the company have acted by
making correct statements in regard
to their show and giving only
clean, refined high class comedy has
won for it many friends 1t is be-
yond doubt the best comedy com
pany that has been in Martinsbnrg
this season and too much praise
can not be given 1T. 1t is one of the
few shows that believe in doing ali
things we'll. Each player is worthy
of special mention and there is not
a poor actor or weak point in the
whole performance.
The management deserves credit
for the excellent order which waf
maintained without an effort. The
company will make their last ap
pearance tonight in triple bill
giving three comedies which have
never before been played here. This
is their strongest program and will
not be cut. If you are aloyer Of
good comedy and good specialtiei
they can not fail to please you Al

SOME COMMENTS.
The work of the ot-ball team Re-
yiewed-A Glorious record.

The football season of 80 locally
has been a most interesting one
Facing discouragements that would
have appalled, other teams the boys
got down to earnest work and made
the proudest record yet established
by university team. Without coach
they met and conquered bigger
teams who had the advantage of
coaches. They closed the season
with the balance but a little way on
the wrong side Of the ledger.
But few defeats were experienced
These were without disgrace and
only make their conduct seem the
brighter Their victories were many
and some of them were brilliant in
deed The conduct of the team has
been its most gratifying feature
The members are students above
the average. They are gentlemen
and have everywhere conducted
themselves as such. Only strict
amateurs have been played No one
has been injured during the season
For these and many other reasons
We are proud of its record
Next year it is expected that ev-
cry man will re-enter scnool. Should
this occur with the new blood which
we are bound to get still more
glorious season is assured. Perhaps,
who can tell, we may be able to get
w. d J on neutral ground and
avenge ourselves on them for many
things done to us in the past. At
any rate the past is full of glory and
the future is full of hope.
The management this year has
been wise and conservative. We
need not blush as we have done that
part of the story. Manager Romine
deserves and is receiving a great deal
OF credit for his part in the teams
work. Captain White has proven
good leader. He has always con-
Quoted himself as gentleman and
has won the plaudits of every one
with whom he has come in contact.
To them and to the team but one
thing can be said and that is com
prised in two words, "Well done"

SaNE WONDERFUL TESTS.
A Large audience sees Boone do Some
Curious things-The subjects say it
isno Fake-No Fraud can be discoy
cred in any thing.

Boone the hynotist delighted u
large crowd t Music Hall Friday
night. Since the advent of Boone
there had been much speculation as
to whether what he claimed to be
able to do was done by fraudulent
cans. His subject Mr.. John l..
Douglass who spent fifty hours in a
hypnotic sleep in Hirschman's win
dow attracted large crowd but this
was nothing to be compared to the
throng which assembled to watch
his carriage drive test which has
been described fully in these col
umns. Promptly at $50 the curtain
arose; in the rear of stage was u
glass coffin in which was the still
sleeping Douglass A committee
YVES chosen from the audience to in
vestigate each particular act of
Boone "All right" said Boone at
the same time swapping his fingers.
Instantly Douglass showed signs of
waking up and in minute or so was
walking naturally about the stage
Boones mind reading tests while
simply wonderful consumed SO much
time that the audience showed signs
of uneasiness. After this came a
short intermission
The second half of the program
was given up to hypnotism and cat
alepsy. Having placed his assistant,
Gladys Livingtone, in a cataleptic
state, he called for subjects for his
hypnotic tests. About a dozen re-
sponded mostly students. After put
ting them in his power they obeyed
his commands like clock work.
They ate potates imagining them to
be apples. When told to wash their
faces in pan of water every one
went to basin filed with -four and
went through all the motions of a
man performing his ablutions. They
were truly good class to work on.
Their antics proved to be source
of much merriment to the audience
His finale consisted of placing Mr.
Douglass in state Of catalepsy, his
head on one chair his feet on another.
A stone feet by 3 feet 6 inches
weighing 275 pounds being placed

wonder. The Other claiming he is a

claimed they were without the pow

rangements to carry kim with the
troupe
