Roanoke College.

The last session of Roanoke College
was a successful one. The students
came from fifteen States, Japan, Korea,
Cuba, Porto Rico, Nova Scotia, and the
Oneida Indians of Wisconsin. The grad
uating class was the largest the college
ever had. Roanoke offers many advan-
tages at small cost. The faculty is an
especially able one. The library of
$4,000 volumes and the reading room
are much used by the students. The
instruction is practical The location is
beautiful and healthful, and Salem has
six churches and no bar-rooms Stu
dents receive friendly welcome to the

Notes From the University.

There are now two hundred and
thirty students enrolled at the West
Virginia University. Of these, fifty
one are in the preparatory and COM
mercial departments. The others are
regular college students, teachers and
special students, not few taking up
work in which they find themselves
lacking in other colleges. Though the
number is small when compared with
the regular college terms, nearly all
classes are well represented.
DR.. Raymond is attending the Ma
tional Educational Association at Los
Angeles. During his absence his class
room work is in the hands of DR.. Ham
ilton, of Syracuse University, and his
Office work is in charge Of Mr.. Barbe.
Prof. S. B. Brown is taking an ex-
tended trip through Wyoming and
other regions of geologic interest.
In the absence of DR.. P. B. Rey-
nolds, chapel is conducted by Prof.
Thos. E. Hodges and Prof. R. A. Arm

OUT GOES ALGER.

Hon. Russell A. Alger, Secretary
of War, yesterday rendered his resig-
nation to the President, to be accept
ed at his pleasure. He will probably
quit the first of August. 1t is said
that Secretary Alger requested the
President to publicly endorse his man
agement of the War Department.
Mr.. Mckinley declined to do this,
and the resignation was at once ten
dered. 1t will be accepted with pleas
ure.
The public is well acquainted with
the causes that led up to the rupture
between the President and the Sec
rotary. The notorious mismanage-
ment Of the War Department, the de-
Tending and whitewashing of officials
like Eagan, the antagonism to men
like Miles, the scandals with contrac-
tors, have all indicated the unftne,s
of General Alger for the position.
Then when he made his political al
lance with Governor Pingree, an an
administration man, the last straw
was added and the break became in
evitable.

A Woman in Uniform.

The Pittsburg newspapers tell an
interesting story of how a soldier of
the United States army tried to take
his wife, Martinsburg girl, with him
to Manila. The Nineteenth Infantry
recently started from Camp Meade,
near Harrisburg, for San Fancisco,
bound for Manila. They travelled on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and when
the train was going over the mountains
near Altoona it was discovered that
there was one more man on the train
than transportation had been provided
for. After much figuring it was final
" narrowed down to Company K.
The train conductor wired the officials,
and Ticket Receiver Nesbitt met him
when the train pulled into Pittsburg.
1t was a pair of shoes that gave
away the disguised traveller. Had
the soldier-husband provided regula-
ton army brogans all might have
been well. An officer who accom-
panied the conductor through the car,
however, noticed that one Of the men
wore light shoes. He looked a little
closer and saw that his feet were re-
markedly small. Then he inspected
the figure carefully and he began to
be puzzled. Finally he did some
sharp questioning and eventually elic-
tied story which fairly made him
gasp. -,
its all right, conductor" he said,
1--WE found that extra man. Then
to the figure before him:
I'm sorry, madam, but l must ask
you to leave this train.
Every well, sir" was the prompt
reply. The pseudo soldier got up
iauntily and turned to her companion:
~ guess it's all up, VIII, she said,
laughingly. "Never mind, though,
I'll get there yet, Goodbye, dear.
They kissed each other and the wo-
man marched out of the car and down
the steps. She chatted for moment
with her husband at the window, and
then, as the train moved out, moved
slowly down the platform waving her
handkerchief. She did not cry and
never finched when the other soldiers
crowded at the car windows, cheered
her and shriekingly waved their car
fridge belts.
Assistant Depot Master Hapenny
met the woman at the gates. She
said she lived in Martinsburg, W. Va,
and asked about trains. She then
announced her intention of going to
the Baltimore and Ohio depot and
taking the first train home She did
not make her appearance at that sta
ton, however, up to the time the last
Martinsburg train left last night.
Every effort was made to learn her
identity, but the woman resolutely re-
fused to give her name. She had
boarded the train at Harrisburg, and
in some way passed unnoticed over
the middle division. She was about
25 years old, with black hair and
eyes, rosy cheeks, and very good look
ing.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only possible cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and

Mr.. BRYAN.

We note some sensible remarks con-
corning Mr.. Bryan in the Wetzel
Democrat. Referring to the REGIS
TIERS remarks on the subject of his
denomination, the Democrat says:
While partly from our admiration for
the man, and partly because we find no.
body else in sight who seems able to
hold candle to him, we feel inclined
to believe that Bryan will be nominated
on the first ballot. Still we have GER
tain sympathy with the sentiments OF
| the REGISTER, and object to sure WIN
! ners on principle. We like TO see Dem
! ocratic conventions assemble for the
purpose of finding out who is the best
man for the times and then of putting
him in nomination, and not for the pur-
pose of sending some popular leader
through with a wild yell.
These are orr sentiments. We
don't like to see any man, or his
friends for him, act as though he had
mortgage on an office, whether it be
for the presidency or a crossroads
constable. 1t will be to the interest
of the Democratic party to send to
the next national convention its most
conservative and sensible men-not
unreasonable supporters Of some par
ticular candidate or policy whose en-
thusiasm is likely to run away with
their Judgment. The man who shall
be the nominee of such a convention
will suit US. We further agree with
the Democrat that Mr.. Bryan is a
much ADLER man than he gets credit
for being. We also believe that he is
an honest, incorruptible man, with
positive ideas and the courage of his
convictions. In our opinion he would
make a most excellent President, and
that so far as his influence could con-
troll affairs, many Of the evils Of the
present would be remedied entirely
or materially mitigated. With Mr..
Bryan as President there would be
no dallying with trusts and corpora
tons, no surrender to the capitalists,
no quarter given rascally contractors,
no shielding Of incapable or dishonest
officials, no evasions Of duty and re-
sponsibility. We believe Mr.. Bryan
stands head and shoulders over the
average statesman Of today. There
are certain circumstances under which
we believe his nomination may be wise
and his election a strong probability.
There are also other circumstances
which may make his nomination a
colossal mistake and his defeat inevi-
table. These contingencies may not
be dogmatically settled now. They
should be properly discussed and then
when the convention meets let the
combined wisdom of the delegates de-
tegmine on the man and the policy.
We want to see the party win next
year. An angel from Heaven should
not be nominated if the signs all plain
" pointed to his defeat

The editor of the Shepherdstown REG
IsTER would illuminate the Philippines
as much with the brilliancy of his beau
ty and the tenderness of his gaze as
Governor Atkinson. If it is good rea-
son, as the REGISTER seems to think,
that the Governor should attend the war
proceedings in person because he wants
to send couple of regiments over, IL is
equally apparent the editor of the REG
IsTER should go, because he wants the
Governor to go,-ParksrS6nrg State
Journal
IT is very embarrassing to reply to
such toast, or roast. But the logic
of the Journal is wrong. The Gov
ernor should volunteer because he
thinks the war is all right and exudes
patriotism at every pore. The editor
of the REGISTER is opposed to this
political war and he doesn't feel as
though he ought to go until conscrip-
ton begins, Br'er Morris can have
our place.

THE Treasury Department at Wash
ington is formulating measures by
which an increased revenue may be
obtained to meet the growing expenses
of the war in the Philippines. One
plan is to put a direct tax on tele-
graph, telephone and express compa-
MES. 1t is conceded that the law re-
quiring a stamp on each message Of the
telegraph and telephone companies
and on each package Of the express
companies is evaded by the companies,
who compel their patrons to pay for
the stamp, and it is hoped a new
scheme may be devised to make the
corporations yield up. Of course it
will never amount to anything. II
the usually obliging courts should fail
to declare such law unconstitutional,
the companies would certainly find
some means to evade the tax and
place it on the people. The humble
citizen, not the wealthy capitalist, is
the fellow who bears the burden Of
war tax.

AS the days 80 by there is no abate-
ment in the enthusiasm of Editor
Pitzer, of the Martinsburg Herald.
In the last issue he says that
1.-The Democratic party will hear some
thing drop next year. 1t will be an ava
lanche of ballots, dropping from the fin
gers of patriotic voters, and will bury
the Democratic party so everlastingly
out of sight, that the world will wonder
if such party ever existed"
We doubt if friend Pitzer will live to
see the humiliation OF the Democratic
party, and certainly he will long have
cause to remember it, if for nothing
else than the drubbing it gave him
last year. Long years before his in
fantile wall echoed among the slate
hills of Berkeley the Democracy was
a living, vital force in the nation, and
long after he has been gathered to his
fathers-and may this be far, far in
the future-it will still exist as a bar
rier against oppression and the very
embodiment of freedom and justice.
We can make the eagle scream a
little, too, when we try.

An American Railroad in China.

Moneyed men from the United States
have secured franchise for building a
railroad from Hong Kong to Han Kow,
China, distance of nearly 700 miles.
While railroads are necessary to ma
tons prosperity, health is still more
necessary. a sick man can't make mon
ey if there are a thousand railroads.
One of the reasons why American is SO
progressive is the fact that in every
drug store is sold Hostetters Stomach
Btters, that celebrated tonic for the
weak, appetizer for the dyspeptic and
sedative for the nervous. 1t is taken
with great success by thousands Of men
and women who are run down, pale and
weak 1t increases the weight, and the
gain is permanent and substantial.

R. P. Scott, a wealthy manufacturer
of Cadiz, Ohio, who wants to 80 to
Congress, is out in a card in which he
presents what he terms practical
solution" of the question. He makes
a proposition that the nomination be
put up at auction and knocked down
to the highest bidder. He says: Il
will lead off with bid of $4,000,
and in order to beat the Garfield law
will not give anything to be elected,
but in case Of election will agree to
donate the salary Of the office to the
purpose of sending four students from
each county to college, giving them
$500 each, or $3.50 per year, or ifany
county prefers it may have two stu
dents at $500 per year each. If it be
true that Congressman should pay
for the honor, why not do it in this
straightforward, legitimate way and
render a great good to the communi-
ty, and not prostitute our ideas of
liberty and constitutional government
by buying votes. If we want bossism
and corruption let US be honest and
cut sham out"

is It Right
FOR AN EDITOR TO RECOMMEND PATENT
MEDICINES:

FOR AN EDITOR TO RECOMMEND PATENT
MEDICINES?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard' n. c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which food the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer
ing we feel it duty to say good
word for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
ofsufering while physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending I'M
plicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that if bottle OF
Chamberlain Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence Of a physician would
not be required. At least this has
been our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale at Remnants
