being in Charles Town. The meetings were
very encouraging, and gave promise of a
rapid growth of the League in Jefferson

are understood by our people, who are enc
mics of the saloon, we cannot see how they
can be unfriendly to this movement. We
ask for the hearty cooperation of all our
pastors and churches, and good citizens
generally, and we expect to have it sooner
or later. l.. r. MELBOURNE

Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss the mil
ionaire merchant of New York, whose
name is closely identified with Charles
Town on account of his phiIanthropic
gifts to our fireman and other worthy OBJ
jects, is about to be made defendent in a
suit instituted by DIR. George Cassidy, of
New York, specialist, who will sue Mr.
Rouss to recover 500, 600 damages for
injuries alleged to have been done to his
business as an expert on the treatment
for the blind. DIR. Cassidy says after he
had improved the vision of John F. Mar
tin, upon whom tests were made in be-
half of Mr.. Rouss. the merchant refused
to submit to treatment and warned per-
sons against him. We agree with the
Winchester Star that if Mr.. Rouss warn
ed persons against DR.. Cassidy he must
have had excellent reasons for dong so,
and are constrained to believe that the
doctor will lose his suit.
