HICKMAN. Mrs. Catharine Hick-
man, widow of Captain William Hick-

MAKE A HIT.
Fairmont Gives Caste Crowded house
-Of for CIarksburg.

Editor DAILY New DOMINION.
FAIRMoNT, April 30.-Last night
the University Dramatic Club
attracted large crowd to the opera
house and pleased all by their mas
terful presentation of ''Caste. " The
performance was for the benefit of
the athletic club and Melted the or
ganization neat sum. Mr.. Earl
II. Smith, in mustache fitted for
the part of "Bad Jim" in Number
Seven" or some other reportorial
chestnut was all right in the lead
and took the part of Capt. D'Alroy
very creditably. Ed Baker, as the
drunkard, had more hiccoughs in his
feet than was necessary, but was an
amusing character. Miss Jessie
Moorhead as Mrs. D'Alroy was par
ticularly fine and Miss Daise Wood
in the soubrette part was natural
and charming. ]. c. Frazier was a
good dude and wca his share of the
applause while Mrs. Frazier made an
admirable aristocratic mother. Sam
Eldridge was the funny character
and it made distinct hit with the
gallery gods.
The small stage made the compa-
ny appear to disadvantage but did
not detract from the merit of the
performance.
The orchestra made excellent mu-
sic and Prot. Whyte's recitation was
periodically and enthusiastically
received John Hoffman, the whist
Ter was also encored.
The company left at 1880 for
Clarksburg where they will appear
tonight.

THE RICHIE INSTITUTE.
Some References Cleaned from the
News RepOrt.

Some members of the Experiment
Station staff accompanied by DR..
Hartigan and Prof. Atkeson held an
institute at Pennsbor last week. We
append some paragraphs taken from
the report of the Pennsboro News:
"Some Mistakes We Farmers
Make" was handsomely handled by
Prof. L. c. Atkeson, OF the Expert
ment Station, practical farmer and
a witty speaker He outlined at
least a dozen mistakes apparent in
common life and no man listened to
him without learning something of
value.
The event of the session, however,
was the lecture of DR.. Hartigan. He
gave scientific and analytical ex-
PLANTATION Of the origin ard develop
ment of plant life, an elementary
lesson we might say in agricultural
botany. While purely technical and
scientific, Dr. Hartigan accompanied
all his expressions with such expla-
nations and illustrations that he was
easily understood, and such words
as protoplasm, bioplasm, etc, were
as readily comprehended as any
common term. We have never known
a scientific lecturer to be given as
close attention as Dr. Hartigan re-
ceived or to meet with as much pop
ular appreciation and compliments
ry mention.
Prof. Atkeson filled in two extra
breathing spells during this session
by practical addresses upon "Educa-
ton" and Organization" as applied
to those interested in farming. Only
those who heard him can appreciate
him; intensely practical and yet
keenly entertaining, his remarks
were always welcome, and of con-
vincing style that set folks to think
ing.
This report would be incomplete
without the proper mention of the
different efforts OF Prof. j. H. Stew
art, the genial director of the Exper
iment Station at the University. A
practical West Virginia farmer him
self, profound student and thor
oughly scientific, Mr. Stewart was
prepared to furnish valuable infor-
nation upon many topics and in re-
Spouse to frequent questions gave
the Institute one of its most profita-
BILE features. Mr.. Stewart made
many friends among our people and
invited all who feel interested in the
work of the Experiment Station to
send their addresses to him and
receive the Stations bulletins which
contain much information of value
to farmers.
MI. G. H. A. Kunst, one of the
microscopes of the Station, had
charge Of very interesting feature.
Under powerful glasses several thou
sand specimens, magnified to i'm
mense proportions, we're shown. A
drop of water magnitied 1000 times,
revealed bacteria as lively as Yam
kee navy and looking as big as tur-
ties, when in realty five millions OF
them could occupy cubic inch. A
drop of milk from j. B. McMullen's
Durham COW. put under glasses by
Mr.. Kunst made some startling rev.

Valuable Horse Drowned near
MannIngton---Peri of the Deep
which Hauling there Entails. True
Story From the Advocate.
Residents of the county who do all
their travelling over the sidewalks and
on the railroad have no idea of the
terrible condition of the country roads
at the present time. All talk about
it being muddy but few realize just
how muddy and how bad the roads
are.
The teamsters who do the heavy
hauling know, however, and the story
of some Of their experiences, although
true in every particular, almost sur
passes belief. Last Monday while a
team, owned by John Hopkins, was
at work in the Flat Run district one
of the horses slipped and fell into the
mud. The other horse fell on top of
the first one and before they could be
cut loose the under horse was smoth-
cred to death by the mud. /. was a
fine animal and valued at $175.
In the same neighborhood, a. few
days since, a team hauling casing be-
came stuck in the mud and the horses
had to be unhitched and pulled out
by second team.

He is back from Philadelphia-he will
enter the Navy just where he would
have been had he remained there
since his Graduation.

SfuCc HIS UiuuuuelVus
Prof Aldrich is back from Phila-
delphia where he went to take an
examination preparatory to entering
the naval service again. He is a
member of the class of 10 from An
napolis who led the class when he
graduated.
The examination was a very hard
one but was passed with flying col
ors by Prof. Aldrich who is one of
the best equipped men in the coun-
try. He will have the same rank
when he re-enters the service that
he would have had had he remained
in the navy ever since his gradua-
tion. This has been decided by the
navy department. He will rank all
his classmates and will take rather
high standing in the navy at once.
His position will be that of past as
sistant engineer with the rank OF
naval lieutenant. This corresponds
to the rank of captain in the army
and the pay is large.
The position is very responsible
one and one full of honor to the man
holding it. We congratulate Pro-
fessor on the success which has at
tended his efforts to get his chance
to defend his country and wish for
him much more glory from the ex-
periences to come.
He does not know when he will
be called upon to go but if there is
not decisive battle soon and Spain
gets badly licked to start on he will
probably have to 60 pretty soon.

be nothing more in his department

OF some more land at number ten

SUITS BROUGHT.

Rev. Il. Price sues severe, nefghbOrs
for grading their lots and causing his
Hill to Slide Three thousand wanted
from each.
Rev. E. Price is having trouble
with the hill that he owns east of
town. Great slides are taking place
on it and parts of it are over flowing
the lots of property owners near it.
Many of the latter have had their
lots graded and he alleges that by
this means he has experienced great
damage as the tendency to slide has
been greatly helped. Be that as it
may the hill is in terrible condi-
ton and the slides are very bad.
Consequently Mr.. Price has sought
refuge in the solace accorded by
the law and he has sued his neigh
bors for three thousand dollars EACH
Judge Johnson, Prof. Corbett and
Mrs. R. F. Naret are the defendants
in three suits which have been
brought within a few days. Cox
and Baker will represent the plain
tiff. The suits will come up in June
and will attract considerable atten-
ton.
