UNIVERSITY DRAMATIC CLUB
Coming to CIarkshurg. At Opera House
Saturday Night. April 3Oth.

Probably the last event at the
Opera House for the season will
be the appearance of the Uni
versity Dramatic Club, which the
Opera House management have
secured for Saturday night April
Both.
The Dramatic Club is one of
the new features of University
life this year, and its services are
always in demand among the
Morgantown people for popular
entertainments.
The Club was organized at the
beginning Of the year by Prof. j..
P. Whyte, of Chicago, the popu-
lar professor of Elocution and
Rhetoric at the University.
Requests have been made of
the Club to appear before Union
town, Pa, Fairmont and other
audiences, and Clarksburg people
are fortunate in having an oppor-
tunity to witness them present
john Hare's popular play,
Caste"
Among those who will appear
in the play are some of Morgan
towns elite society people, among
them being Miss Daisy Wood and
Miss Jessie Morehead, of Morgan,
town; Mr.. E. d. Baker Of Bever
w; Mr.. Earl H. Smith, son Of
Col. Smith, of Fairmont; Mr..
Odell Mckinney, of Fairmont
Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Frazier and
Phil A. Shatfer, of MartiRsbafg
A number of Clarksburg pao
pie at the University will accom-
pany the club.
Music will be furnished for the
occasion by Prof. Keene, instruc
tor OF stringed instruments at the
University.
Considerable interest is being
shown in local circles, and the
Club will, in all probability, be
given a warm reception, as tn.
play is said to be an interesting
one.

Governor of a State will appoint
the regimental and company
officers. Should but half a regi-
ment be raised in a State, the
regiment will be completed by
those from other, States. This
will place the appointment of
regimental officers with the
President. This order caused a
lot of trouble in West Virginia
and at one time our boys had
decided to refuse to enlist for the
war. The trouble is general all
over the United States, as the
State organizations desire to

of a ratio Of % TO would have the ef-

Landon. Aug. 1.-THE Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times says: Though
peace is regarded as assured IL may not
be obtained so early as is generally ex-
pected. Senor Sagasta objects to being

TO have full and satisfactory explana-
tions as to all doubtful points in order
to enable him TO best protect the ma
tional interests against the aggressive
tendencies of the Washington cabinet.
He has to examine very minutely the
exigencies Of the internal situation and
home politics, so as to avoid popular
dissa tisfaction and political unrest. The
Spanish people, though sincerely desr-
Gus of peace, are disposed to admire
this hesitancy and tenacious holding out

plies greater sacrifices. As an illustra-
tion of this feeling. while General Toral

To be a popular hero. 1t would be pre-
mature to suppose that the political
consultations now proceeding fore

cabinet when peace is concluded. The
conservatives have so constantly and
Loyalty supported Sagasta throughout
the war that no factious opposition need
be feared from them.
