A Fine Attraction.

The Port Jervis Gazette of Octo-
Der 18th says: "The Andrews Opera
company, which deservedly has the
reputation Of being one OF the best
companies Of the kind travelling in
this country at present, made its
bow to the music loving people Of
this city last evening in that fine old
romantic opera, Martha" Yes
add the Emusic loving people" were
present in goodly numbers, and they
were unanimous in their approval
and delighted appreciation of the
efforts OF the soloists and choruses
They were present even though at
eight o'clock the rain was descend
in thick, great sheets, but they
braved the weather because they
knew that they were going to have
treat, and all were glad that they
were present
The opera of Martha" is as ssold
as the hills" bnt it has never lost
it's beauty, and, III fact, we like it all
the better because our parents
hummed its sweet old airs to us
when we were children. This com
pany of vocalists inter- .esed parts
with excellent aptness and spirit,
and the fine old airs were sung in a
manner that thrilled and charmed
the audience, and there were many
able critics present
Each and all of the principal parts
were well taken and the choruses
were magnificent. 1t is an excellent
company throughout and our city
is very fortunate in securing it for
three operas" This company will
appear at the Opera House in Nor
gantown, November End.

WATCH THEM.
Farmers should see to it that Quail are
not Killed this Full.

The past few days of cool.weather
have been the signal for hunters to
go into business. Already the rab-
bit hunter is doing business, for
this kind of game is plentiful. Squir-
rels are very scarce and quail are
just beginning to get foot hold in
this vicinity. The legislature of
West Virginia passed law at it's
last session prohibiting the killing
of quail for two years. This includL
ed last year and this. Now, farmers
let's see to it that this law is re-
spected. tits in your power to COM
pei trespassers to obey this law, and
you should do so. Especially is this
true of foreign hunters who come in
and kill game, and not for the sport
there is in it, but for gain, or in 9th
er words, ''meat hunters" who ship
our game out of the State, when our
own native hunters are forbidden
upon the hunting grounds which
the foreigner ransacks. They are
here now; fire them of likewise our
native hunters who pursue qhail
with intent to kill.

McGraM Is Elected.

A careful poll of the Second dis
trict discloses an unquestioned ma
jority for McGraw, not counting the
discontinued republicans who refuse
to say how they intend to vote. Some
democrats are SO pleased at the gener-
al outlook that they are sanguine of
carrying the state for all the congress-
men, and the legislature as we'll.
That the republicans are disheartened
over the outlook is apparent on every
hand. They seem to anticipate a
landslide whose dimensions they fear tc
undertake to calculate. -Sentinel

THE VALUE OF SHAM.

Sometimes i'm this life IL seems as
though the sham and pretense were of
more value than the open-and- above
board policy that we from childhood
have been taught to regard as best.
The world apparently delights in being
humbugged. says the Philadelphia
Times. Just as soon as the how" of
a mystery is explained all charm is
gone, and the wise individual who de-
termines upon a secret course which,
if not exactly honest, appears to please
more than revelation of the real con-
dition of affairs.
The theatreging public wakes enthu-
siastic over a display Of magic. but
when the so-called magician shows
them the mechanical devices by which
he helped To fool them. or the artist
reveals the secret of strings, buttons
and numerous layers Of clothing, the
act losses it's charm and the ones fooled
are sorry to have their eyes opened.
Thus it goes always; preserve an illusion
and the resultant happiness all around
will be much greater than when the
prosaic actually is forced to view Espe-
cially il this true in married life. II
