rlLE FENCE oRArroNs.
Sacred Rails Presented to the Freshmen
 by the Sophomores.

by the Sophomores.
 The Yale freshmen, or as the mem bers of the class of 1900 are already beginning to style themselves, the Yale sophomores, are very happy now or at least should be. for, ill accordance with a long established rule of Yale common law, the class of 1900 was duly presented with several lengths of the sacred pine Yale fence last evening.
 As usual on such occasions an orator was selected from each of the two classes to poke fun and crack Jokes at the expense of the other class, while the freshmen and sophomores who thronged about jeered or cheered as the case might be.
 After the orations the class of 1900 rushed for the coveted rail and when safely upon the perch proceeded to en- certain the crowd with selections by their glee club and an attempted dis play of sophomoric airs. The freshmen were happy of course and the sopho- mores were also gladdened by the thought that they had made others happy.
 The orations were, as usual, made up in large part of ''grinds" upon the other class taken collectively or some indi- vidual member being selected as the butt of ridicule.
 The presentation speech in behalf of the sophomores was made by Edward Theodore Noble. He patronizingly con- graduated the class of 1900 on having one man-Camp-who had made a de- cided hit.
 Sophomore class orators in by-gone years had always felt it their duty to describe the freshman class as the freshest of freshmen classes, and as applied to the class of 1900 the descrip- tion was totally inadequate. He referred to the attempt made by the freshmen class a while ago, to capture the fence under the lead of the "Cataline' Winter and said that they ought to have known that such an attempt would end in a freeze-out.
 The sophomores when they first wit messed the kinetic energy of the fresh- men class had high hopes that out of such an aggregation of beef they might do something in athletics.
 Referring to the crews the orator said that the freshmen seemed to take well to water, and it was about the only thing they did take well to, although they had tried several things.
 The freshmen glee club came in also for it's full share of ridicule. The fence was presented to the fresh men as the Yale synonym for equality and democracy.
 Jesse Dwight Dana, the freshman orator, responded. He reminded the sophomores that in the race at Lake Whitney their crew had been conspicu- ous at the close Of the race by their absence.
 The joker of the sophomore class had referred to them as one in hundred They were glad to hear that there was but ore class in a hundred like them | for few more such classes would pros- trate Yale college. At the close he thanked the sophomore class on behalf | of the class of 1900 for the fence.

yard boat, Jagged frequently this after noon and did not seem to be pulling his share of the side. It was said tonight in the city that Goodrich was little too finely trained and might have to be taken out of the boat. The Har- ward freshmen crew has decided to row in the English shell built by Caspar They rowed in it to-day and it was mo- ticeable that with the higher rigging, higher seats, the ''freshies' seemed to be able to take a longer stroke than the varsity.

 Seth l.. MiIIiken,

Seth l.. MiIliken.
 Augusta, Me, June 1.-Hon. E. c. Burleigh of this city has been elected to congress from the Third district to succeed Seth L. Milliken, recently de- ceased. The victory was an easy one over Frederick w. Plaisted, the demo- cratic candidate. The populist vote was meagre. Returns from fifty-eight cities and towns, received up to 10:3G D. m., give Burleigh, rep, 6,656; Plais- ted, dem., 2.055. The same relative vote in the remaining towns would give Burleigh total of Il, ,0S6 and Plaisted a total of 3,2S1.

THE YACHT CLUB REGATTA
HEED UNDER MOST FAVORABLE
 CONDITIONS YESTERDAY.

W. K. Dunham's Volsung Finished First
 With Drusilla Close Behind-The Steam-
 CT Margaret Carried Large Party-Re-
 suit of the Races, Which Were Competed
 in by Local Flyers.
 The annual regatta of the New Ha- ven Yacht club was held yesterday un- der weather conditions the most fav- orable. When the boats crossed the line the wind was south southwest. The breeze, while not strong enough to cause a choppy sea, was heavy enough to well fill the sails. For most of the yachts this was just right, but the Dor othy. F. M Wilson's cabin catboat, does not fit these conditions. She wants to show her speed powers plenty of sea, and stout wind, then with a sail set she can make good race for any boat in her class.
 When the start was made the Marga- ret, with large party of ladies and gentlemen aboard, was anchored a lit tie to the east of the buoy and after the start she followed along with the yachts, keeping within good seeing dis tance during the entire race. As the yachts crossed the line and sped away over the course Nike a flock of huge gulls, they presented beautiful sight.
 Most of the boats had been newly painted and their sails were fresh and white from the wash. All went well with the yachts until John N. Cham pion's Nit had sailed to within about mile and half of the buoy at Charles Island, when she sprung her main mast She kept pluckily on, however, and hobbled over the rest of the course in this crippled condition, finishing ahead of some of the other boats and not far behind the leaders.
 The wind through the entire course was pronounced by yachtsmen the. best that could have prevailed, giving the boats chance to try the dead beat going out and to run before the west wind which prevailed on the return. The boats finished as follows:

COLLECTOR WHITE ENJoINED.

Another sensation was sprung or
this community, Thursday, when it
became known that Attorney George
w Johnson, had gone before Judge
Jackson, Of the u S. District Court,
at Wheeling, and secured an order re.
straining Collector A. B. White from
removing William Butter, store
keeper at the Hannis Distillery, from
the position Of gauger. Just how such
an incongruous order was secured is
one ofthose applicable, unexplainable
situations that arises from the attempt
to control the affairs of this country
by injunction.
Mr.. Butler is store keeper. The
order proposes to hold him as gaug-
err The VIII cling Intelligencer ex-
plains that there are several other
plaintiffs in prospective, and that in
the original bill the matter was pre-
scented in collective form This the
court could not pass upon, and it was
ordered that the matter be presented
in separate cases. SO it appears that
Mr. Johnson, who is co-editor of the
Democrat as we'll as attorney, got
mixed on his vocabulary and wrote
Mr.. Buffers name in a paper that had
been prepared for Mr.. II. c. Berry,
who is a gauger, therefore, when the
case comes before Judge Jackson on
the 9th inst, at Clarksburg, he will
be in sorry plight.
Another trouble that will be en-
countered will be the fact that APP
pointments are not made by the Col
lector but by the Department. The
Collector is named as defendant when
he has no power over the matter. All
in all, it is sorry mess, pretty ket-
tie of fish.
1t seems that a few days since Mr..
Butler received notice that Mr.. john
d. Sutton would be assigned to duty,
as a store keeper, at the distillery on
the Ist He at once arrived at the
conclusion that he was to be ousted
and decided to endeavor to hold his
place as stated above. 1t further ap-
pears that A. l.. Hoult, of Fairmont,
was offered place here as gauger,
but declined That stirred Mr.. Berry
to action. What the end will be can
only be surmised. Mr.. White will
not relish being dragged into court,
and fair prediction is that it will
end with the parties who have enjoin
ed him finding themselves out of a
job.

IGNORANT OR A SCOUNDREL

Some one, presumably resident of
this city, misinformed or desiring to
misrepresent and injure this commu-
nifty sent dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, which in turn
gave it to the Associated Press, which
sent report all over the country,
that the assignmentof the Improve
ment, Loan and Building Association
carried with it two banks and dozen
Of the wealthiest men in the city.
Nothing could possibly be farther
from the truth. All of the banks are
in a most prosperous condition. They
have money in abundance and bust
ness was never better. The determi-
nation to wind up the affairs Of the
Association was the voluntary act of
the Directors, and as the assets are
considerably more than the liabilities,
with proper management there will
be but Slight, if any, losses.
The Herald is making an effort to
ascertain who sent the dispatch and ii
successful, we shall take pleasure in
exposing him. 1t is due the CONNER
cial-Tribune to note that Immediately
upon receipt of information that state
ments in the dispatch were false,
correction was made, which, in a
measure, repaired the damage that
was done.

ANOTHER APOLOGY.

The Statesman makes fine distinc-
ton when it charges the Herald with
repeating
The Authorization of an idiot that
the Statesman had referred to Gold
Democrats as ours. The Herald OF
no one else ever saw any intimation
or insinuation in the Statesman to
that effect 1t is an epithet we have
never applied to any one through our
columns. The assertion is false and
was circulated with the malicious pur.
pose of injuring our business"
The Herald begs pardon. We only
gave the gist of the following para
graph which appeared in the States.
man Of Sept. 9, as follows:
ave ask no favors from the Mayo1
and expect nothing and desire moth.
ing but opposition from him. A man
who will with such villainy and peri
dy turn against the friends who have
given him the benefit OF their time,
their labor and their money don't de-
serve the respect of the meanest cur
in the town The pity is. that the
Council has men in it elected by the
people whom the Mayor opposes and
despises, who are weak enough to be
thetool Of such thing as our Mayor. I"

In the present fufore it is not amiss
to revert to the failure of the old Ber-
kelley Savings Bank, nearly twenty
years ago. Many of the depositors
would have been satisfied with so cents
on dollar. When final settlement
was made, it paid 95 cents on the dol
lar. The best opinion is that the I'm
provement and Loan Association will
do as we'll or better.

The Statesman wants to know why
Sugar Trust stock has recently ad-
vanced from $II6 to $3.50. If our
neighbor was not wholly daft he would
know that all stocks have advanced,
but the real cause, in the case of the
Sugar Trust is the advance importa-
tons OF sugar under the Wilson bill
which afforded immense profits. The
same thing was done with wool and
other commodities. We trust this Elk
PLANTATION is satisfactory If it is not
We shall take pleasure in further eluci-
dating the point.

AN APOLOGY.

The Democrat demands of us an
apology for stating that Mr.. johnson
would be editor under the new dis.
pensation. That was our first infor.
nation and so we wrote it. Later we
learned that be was to be co. editor
and in reading the proof marked in
the Co" The compositor who at
tempted to correct the proof over
looked the 'co" and let it stand "edi-
tor. But judging from the tone and
get-up Of our interesting countempor-
AIRY, this explanation is unnecessary
as the same old ear-1nark Ks were plainly
visible.

During the month OF April 95,559,.
933 pounds of wool were imported
The Wilson bill was then in force.
During August, the first full month
since the enactment Of the Dingley
law, but 2,875,S97 pounds were i'm
ported. Farmers should readily de-
eide from this whether it is to their
interest to vote for Protection or Free
Trade.

One of the distressing features of
the failure of the Building and Loan
Association is the inability of share
holders to realize on their savings.
Many are comparatively poor. They
have denied themselves the necessa-
ries of lite in order to lay aside some
thing for rainy day Whether they
actually suffer a loss or not-and it is
to be hoped there will be no losses
the long time that must necessarily
elapse until they realize, will give
them great worry. All these things
emphasize the necessity Tor the estab-
lishment of government savings
banks in connection with the post.
Offices. 1t is not so much the high
rate Of interest that is demanded as
absolute safety
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1897-10-02

Excess OF assets over liabilities SlO,UOO
From the above it is evident that
with prudent management there need
be no losses to anyone. And, as the
trustees are men OF integrity AMI bus
mess ability, it is safe to predict that
the losses will be light if any. OF
course, it is scarcely to be expected
that any of the share holders will re-
ceive in return more than the money
invested But if they get back what
they have invested, or something
near it, we feel quite sure that they
will be satisfied.
The Association has been instru-
mental in securing the Kilbourn and
Middlesex Hosiery Mills, the Craw-
ford Wooden Mills, the Auburn Wag-
on Works, the Brooklyn Brass Works,
and in addition has aided many per-
sons to secure homes and business
property Formed at the time the B.
& O. removed the Division to Bruins
wick, the Association has done more
to maintain and build up the city
than any other institution in it. 1t
is the center around which all of our
industries have revolved as it were.
Contrary to the experience of many
towns, We pulled through the panic
in fair shape making steady advance
ment and today the industries fostered
by the Association are in better con-
dition than ever before. Tie hosiery
and wooden mills are absolutely SOL
vent, the Brass Works and Auburn
Wagon Co., though both are con-
trolled by receivers, are doing splen-
did business-better than ever before
with flattering prospects for the fu-
ture.
OF course many persons will be in
convenienced, some, possibly, seri-
ously, but there is no occasion for
anyone to lose his head The banks
are all right, and amply secured, and
so far as is known the general run of
business is better than for years past
Let all stand firm and do not forget
to always hold up our staunch little
city as the best in the world.

The futility of a multiplicity of. vo-
cations and professions is clearly ex-
emplified in the case Of Lawyer George
w. johnson, who is also co-editor of
the Berkeley Democrat, who, as a
lawyer, COMPOUNDED the position of
store-keeper with that of gauger, and
thus proves that Jack of all trades
is rarely a success in any.

We hear of few parties who are
talking about sueing the Improve
ment and Loan Association. 1t would
be we'll before doing so to remember
that he who sues, sues himself He
puts himself in the position of hiring
a lawyer and at the same time com
pels the Association to do likewise,
and then pays not only his own, law
yer but helps to pay the Association
lawyer and costs. There is not much
business in such course.
