The Coast Defenses.

One-half of the number of improved
cannon, mortars and emplacements
will be located and placed in suitable
position ere the expiration of 1898.
The artillery board is constantly max
ing practical surveys, so far as these
relate to the army, and the establish
ment of adequate military protection
of our sea board, frequently urged
upon the government by the cham
bers of commerce of our maritime
cities is receiving strong reinforce
ment from this source. Meanwhile
there is means of defence from
greater physical calamity which no one
afflicted with nervousness or dyspepsia
should neglect, and that is the use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which by
restoring the tone of the nerves and
stomach invigorates the entire system.
1t also remedies and prevents malar-
ial, kidney and rheumatic ailments,
and cures billiousness and constipa-
tion. 1t is capital appetizer, and
promotes sound repose. Those who
have been cured by it speak in no un-
certain tones as to the effectiveness of
this celebrated medicine In disease
and as medical stimulant.

THE UNIVERSITY.
Very Large Increase in the At
tendance for this Term.

The Enrolment is Nearly Six Hundred
and will Have no trouble in Making
up the Rest--lncrease due to Num-
Der of Causes is Very satisfactory
to Every Body Concerned Prospects
Are Very Good for the summer term.
College Professors will be here in
numbers There will be no cessation
as Usual inauguration Of the New
system---Town can take care Of lot
More students without duch trouble.
The spring quarter at the Uni
versity opened on the 14th and the
students have been pouring in at a
rapid rate all week. The enroll
ment is now greater than it has ever
been in the history of the institu-
ton. There are 591 names on the
register and several more are to fol-
low Before Commencement is here
the six hundred mark will have been
passed with plenty to spare. The
increase is much greater than it was
last year and in fact mnch greater
than in any year that the school has
ever seen
DIR. Raymond is jnbilant over the
outlook and the number Of students
that are here. He is disposed to
give much of the credit for the in
crease to the hustling abilities of
Mr.. Barbe the travelling representa-
tive. A lot of the credit should be
given to the board of regents who
have created new departments and
strengthened old ones until there
are many different Influences at
work drawing men here to be edu-
Gated.
The University and it's possibili-
ties are being letter understood and
as the people find ouss lat is here
they are anxious to have their sons
and daughters have the advantage
of them. Consequently the great
influx of students.
The effect on the town is very
good. Beside having the advantage
of association with SO many bright
fellows the money advantage is not
to be sneezed at and in large meas
ure the steady prosperity which
Morgantown has enjoyed may be
traced to the students. Some years
ago the fear was expressed that
should there be $50 students there
would be no room for them. There
are now nearly twice that many and
there is room for many more of them.
We can take care of any number of
them and do it right.
The outlook for the summer quar-
ter is very good. Letters are re-
ceived in every mail from people who
are anxious to get some of the good
things that are offered to students
here this summer. These inquiries
come from all over the United States
and among the many who will be
here a number of college professors
in other states will attend. The
enrolment for the summer term will
not add the number counted for this
year. In any event however the en-
rollment for this year is monument
to what can be done here if the state
will properly support the institu-
ton.

SAN JOSE SCALE
Doing Serious Damage in Berkeley
County Many Fruit Trees Ruined,
and Many More Beyond Hope,

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, March lS.-
The horticulturists of this county met
to-day to take steps to eradicate the
San Sose scale, the pernicious fruit
tree peet, which made its appearance
In this county about two years ago,
and is spreading to an alarming ex-
tent.
State Entomologist A. d. Hopkins,
Of the experiment station at Morgan
town, who had been on tour of in
spection through the county, reported
that he had found the insect in five
out of sixteen orchards visited The
large orchards belonging to ]. It.
Janey, he said, was so thoroughly in
tested that the only way to get rid of
the pests there is to destroy all the
trees, many of which had already been
killed by the insect. Indeed he
thought this was the only safe method
in any instance. To those who
wanted to save their infested trees by
treating them, he suggested the use
of pure kerosene in thin applications
when the weather was most favorable
to it's evaporation. r. G. Burkhart
was appointed committee of one to
seee what the owners of the trees
would do respecting their infected
trees, and report to the meeting next
week.

RALPH HEAVIER DEAD.
His Spirit gave up the unequal
struggle.

gallant fight against enormous odds
The flesh could not stand II and
gave 1t up appropriate action on the
part Of the tsei,syf Ciaas g4a re Lit
erary society to which he belonged :
The body will be taken home tO-mor-
row--A sad ending Of a bright career
at the very opening Of it, First death
eyer occurring among the students
here.
From Saturdays Daily.
This morning at seven o'clock the
spirit OF Ralph Heavier gave up the
unequal fight which it had been
making against disease and quilted
its tenement of clay. For more than
five weeks he had been very i'll, in
fact the physicians would not have
been surprised at any time had he
died, but with tenacity which in
many respects was wonderful he
held out against the assaults of the
memorable enemy. Typhoid fever
complicated with pneumonia, and
finally when that was broken up
cerebro-s spinal Inflammation made
the struggle possible to end
ia only one way Flesh and blood
could rot stand the ordeal and that
gave Ssy.
For several years Ralph has been
a student and is known by almost
every one in town and they have
watched the course of tie battle
with intense interest. To them all
his death caused a feeling of deep
sadness they are glad to know that
his sufferings are over and that We
is now at rest. He was member OF
the senior class at the University
and would have graduated with hon
or in June. The members of the
class feel in his death a personal be-
reavement and will meet sometime
to-day to take proper action on the
sad event. They are now in mourn
ing for the dead comrade, testifying
mutely to the esteem in which they
held him.
The Columbian literary society
of which he was for long time a
faithful member met this morning
and appointed a committee to ac-
company the remains to Buckhan-
non where the funeral will take
place on Monday. This is composed
of Messrs. Grille and j. M. G Brown.
On Monday evening the society will
hold memorial services in their hall
at 7o'clock.
The body will be taken to Buck
harmon tomorrow morning where
the funeral will take place on Mon
day Mr.. and Mrs. Heavier the
parents of the dead student have
been at the bedside of the sick boy
and have done all they could to
soothe his last moments. Their care
has been unremitting for the entire
time of his sickness
This death is the first one in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant to
take place among the student body
since the establishment of the Uni
versitv.
To the bereaved family we extend
the sympathy of the entire town and
student body in their sad bereave-
ment.

Vow For Business .
AS matter Of economy we must
pave our streets.

pave our streets.
1t is not mere matter OF taste OF
pride, but business necessity to
save the public revenues from waste
and the town from perpetual power
ty.
Therefore, every citizen of Nor
gantown has felt deep concern in
the action of the Town Council, lest
that action might be rejected by the
voters and this needed improvement
thereby indefinitely postponed.
We are glad to believe that the
action Of the council is the wisest
they could have taken and that it is
the one course that could and will
receive the requisite endorsement at
the polls.
However equitable the other prop
osition may be Of the property hold
ers paying twothirds the cost, 1t is
morally certain that it would have
been defeated-not because all vo-
tiers think it unjust, but becuase
many who do not object to the plan,
do not feel able to contribute that
amount t the enterprise.
The plan adopted by council is
the easiest for everybody 1t is just
as fair in the long run 1t distributes
the debt over longer period of time
and makes everybody contribute in
proportion to his property interests.
Nobody will feel the burden, and
while it may delay the paving of all
the streets for two or three wears, it
is not matter of life and death
that IL should all be done this wear.
1t is absolutely certain that it will
be done when tits once begun. The
money derived from bonds will not
be sufficient, but after the main
streets ere paved, they will be no
expense to the town for many years,
and the revenues thus saved from
the usual repairs will continue the
paving until the whole town is coy
cred
We congratulate the Town Coun-
Gil, and the friends of the enterprise
on the promising outlook tor this
enterprise. The pending proposition
is one that every citizen car support.
1t would be mulish for anybody to
oppose this now because he was in
favor OF the other He might have
reasonably opposed the other if he
was not in condition to pay the
price. But the proposition to be
submitted by council is so far unob-
jectionable to anyone who really de-
sires the town paved, that no man
can consequently vote against it.
1t ought to receive the unanimous
vote of the people.
We venture to say that there is
not voter in the town who would
have the temerity to cast an open
ballot against it.
