Our Museum is Growing.

Our museum has received some new
attractions this week. Mr.. W. W.
Winters, of Harper's Ferry, through
DR.. T. c. Stotler, has sent us an old
bell-mouthed dueling pistol made in
Belgium in 1912, which is a real culi-
osity. DR.. Stotler adds to it block
of wood from Maryland Heights, with
a bullet in it as a reminder of the war.
Capt. John Grow sent US war relic in
the shape of an old U, S. cavalry bit
that has hung in his cellar third of
century, and Mr.. c. W. Andrews
contributed a trio of the smallest
chicken eggs we have ever seen. We
thank our friends for these gifts to our
collection. With the help of those
who have curiosities Of various sorts
we will be able to get together fine
museum, which we intend to be a sort
of public affair We will greatly APP
preciate anything of general or local
interest in the way of relics or curiosi-
ties.
Our friend Joseph E. Yontz sent US
some Indian arrow-heads and pottery
this morning.
Thanks all around.

Starvation Rates on the Canal.

The wave of prosperity that is roll
ing backward over the country has
struck the Chesapeake & Ohio canal,
and according 10 an agreement be-
tween the shippers and canal mana
gers there is to be a reduction OF
about fifteen cents a ton in the rate
allowed the boatmen. 1t is stated
that the freight rate from Cumber-
land to Georgetown is to be cut from
60 to 45 cents, and from Cumberland
to Williamsport from 80 to 80 cents.
We do not know of any boatmen who
have been getting wealthy at the old
rate, and many of them say that they
will lose money at the reduction UNI
less there are concessions in other
matters.
A meeting of boatmen was held at
Williamsport Tuesday night to protest
against the reduction. Frank I. God
dard was chairman and Geo. W. Nc
Cardell was secretary. A committee
reported that the expense to boatmen
of transporting ton of coal from Cum
berland to Williamsport was more than
80 cents, and they showed that boat
man who made on an average of four
trips a month and hauled lis tons at
a trip at 80 cents a ton would, after
paying all expenses, be $65.78 in debt.
A suggestion was made to cut down
the wages of the captain, steersman
and driver, but even then and with
five trips per month made, the boat
man would still lose $18.28 month.
The following committee was appoint
ed to arrange for the holding of apub-
lie meeting next Tuesday night for the
purpose Of entering a formal protest
against the reduction: Samuel Kelley,
John Tice, Alexander McKelvey, John
Malotte, Henry T. Singer, Wesley
Bear and Samuel l. Preston.

Jefferson Circuit Court.

a special term of the Circuit Court
of Jefferson county was begun in
Charlestown Tuesday, Judge E. Boyd
Faulkner presiding,..for the purpose of
disposing of some cases which went
over from the regular term. In the
case of the First National Bank of JEFF
ferson against Marshall Mccormick
and R. o. Allen, Oh negotiable note
drawn by W. B. Page and alleged to
have been Endorsed by them, Judge
Faulkner decided the case in favor of
Mccormick and Allen, releasing them
from payment on the ground that it
was admitted that Aliens name had
been forged on the original note and
the two renewals and that McCor-
mick name was forged on the renewals
and on the original note it was his
genuine signature, but this note not
having been protested, he was not la
bic. When a renewal note with a
forged Endorsement is accepted in place
of a genuine note which was not pro-
tested the indorser is released An
other case by the same plaintiff against
Page, with other indorsers, involving
a somewhat similar question, which
was submitted at the last term, was
held over by the Judge for further con-
sideration.
The injunction suit of Mrs Rebecca
Hunter against the corporation Of

New Bakery.


Mr.. J. N. Trussell, whose enterprise
in business has caused him to be re-
garded as one of our most valuable
citizens, has made arrangements to
establish frst-class bakery in Shep-
herdstown. He has engaged the SER
vices of Mr.. Rimbach, of Baltimore
a practical baker of years experience,
to conduct it, and he is expected here
today. Material for the ovens, etc.,
is on hand, and the enterprise will
soon be in operation. 1t is Mr.. Trus-
sells purpose to make bread, rolls,
biscuits, pastry, plain and fancy cakes
in short, everything pertaining to
this line of business-all of the very
best, for home consumption as well as
outside trade. He has bought a hand
some new delivery wagon, and will
make every effort to supply the wants
of the public and please his customers.
A really good bakery is something
greatly needed here, and We hope the
patronage given Mr.. Trussell will be
ample to support one Of the very best,

OUR MERCHANT TAILORING DEPARTMENT.

Gen. Dabney l.. Maury recently
wrote a letter to Mr.. Charles Broad
way Rouss, Of New York, in which he
eloquently set forth the claims Of
Richmond to the establishment within
her bounds of the proposed memorial
institute, towards the erection Of which
Mr.. Rouss has promised to contribute
the sum of 100000 under certain
conditions In reply Mr.. Rouss has
written General Maury a long letter,
the purport of which is that he (Rouss)
has no voice in choosing the location
for the institute, that duty having
been devolved upon a board chosen at
the reunion of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, in Richmond, in June
last Mr.. Rouss says New Orleans,
Nashville, Atlanta and Washington
are all willing to put up money as

The Shepherdstown Specially Band
has been fully organized, with J. c.
Hanger as president, Charles F. Kru-
ger secretary and treasurer, and o. E.
Spohn leader. The band has sixteen
members, and meets in the basement
of the town hall for practice. a sub
scription has been taken up for new
instruments, repairs to the old ones,
new music, etc. We hope the band
may be literally supported by our
people and that it may show an ac-
commodating spirit in return. If
these two suggestions are followed the
organization will flourish and the town
will have pleasure in it.

President Fink intends to reduce oper-

at Roanoke $50, and at all points the
force has been or will be reduced.
Rumor says that this is part of a
scheme to enable the road to carry out
a big project of purchasing the Mari
eta and North Georgia Road and
buildinga line from Bristol to Knox
vile, Tenn, thus enabling them to
have line through from Norfolk to

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The sugar schedule was considered
last week by the Republican members
of the ways and means committee. 1t
was decided to increase the rate of duty
so as to provide for additional revenues
to the amount of $20,0O0,0OO. Present
appearances indicate that the duty on
raw sugar will be about IL cents
pound, scaling this to II cents a
pound in the case of countries which
gives us equal reciprocal advantag es.
The purpose is to reduce the differen-
tial to the lowest possible rate, not ex-
ceeding of a cent a pound.
