GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
Parthenons Expect to Give Brilliant
Performance this Evening at the
University.

One OF the leading members of
the Parthenon Society was asked
about the public performance of his
Literary Society this evening at
Commencement Hall and he de
livered himself of the following
spell in replay:
Never before in the history of the
University have the Literary Soci-
cites shown more rivalry and antag
onism than now The Parthenons
are literally boiling over with enthu-
siasm. They have completed their
final arrangements for the attractive
public program to be given this
evening in Commencement Hall at
s o'clock
Every effort has been sustained to
its utmost capacity to make this
performance the literary feature of
the scholastic year. Every Parthe-
non is awake The hall has been
beautifully and artistically decorat-
ed with bunting, flags, palms, etc.
The decorating committee has work
ed with untiring energy in adjoining
and identifying the stage and audi
forum. 1t fact, the whole thing will
be an unriyaled affair; the program is
of high literary and musical char
acter. The School of Music and the
Students guitar and mandolin Club
will furnish an excellent musical
program.
Everybody is going. Everybody
will be there. Admission free. The
weather cannot daunt them; nothing
can dishearten.
Hi-rickety roo-de doc,

NO DOUBT ABOUT TT.

MOrgantOwn and Greenmont Bridge
will be Done by the First Day OF
April.
We heard some one speak in refer
ence to the proposed Morgantown
and Greenmont bridge as if it were
in doubt whether it would ever be
built. Inquiry of Mr.. Lazzelle who
is interested in the matter brought
out most emphatic statement that
it would be built. ct will be done
by the first day of April This is
the way that he put it. There is
absolutely no foundation for any
other report. There is nothing in
the way of the completion of the
structure The contract is let and
the contractors are under heavy bond
to get it done on time. There will
be no funny business about it."
This is certainly strong enough to
convince the most skeptical that the
bridge will be built as announced in
this paper sometime ago. A few
people around here will not believe
any of the wonderful things that are
in store for the town and perhaps
feel somewhat doubtful over what
has already been done

MIGHTY GOOD STORY

"A Butts, residing in Berkeley

Hedgesville to have Dr. E. a. Ward,
to lance a carbucle on his neck,
Mr.. Butts and the doctor were much
surprised when bullet dropped out
after the incision had been made.
Mr.. Butts was a member of Com
pany B, First Maryland Cavalry,
and in 1862 was shot, near Upper

the stomach, and he was left on the
field for dead. Four days afterward
he was found barely alive by friends
who searched for him. He was re-

freah Air Cure

1t is matter Of common knowledge
that the late Sir Andrew Clarke cured
himself of consumption by living as
much as possible in the open air. The
principle involved has since been gen.
orally recognized by the medical pro-
fession, with the result that the bad
old practice OF keeping consumptves
in warm. s.uffy rooms has been almost
entirely abandoned. II is fresh air
which is mainly responsible for the
cures worked at such places as Dawes,
where the patients spend fourteen
hours day out of doors, breathing
cold. bracing mountain air, while they
are exhilarated by bright sunshine.
The result is that each diseased spot
in the lungs is cut of from the healthy
tissue by ring of stretched cells,
across which disease germs can not
pass, and so the malady 10 arrested
