One DR.. Reyburn, of Washington,
ID. c., quoting from one DR.. Laney,
of Cumberland, seems to think there
is something of paramount right in
seniority of settlement on the Potomac
1t is pleasant to record the fact that
doctors sometimes agree.
But discordant to note the other
fact that if there is any aptitude IN
their diagnosis of this case it does not
seem to apply to this generation.
There are residents of Westernport
as old on the average as those of Cum
berland.
The Walpoles of Cumberland should
have twitted the Pitts of Westernport

than nearly one hundred years ago.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
Bids Opened.

BiuS opened.
The State Board of Education met
Monday and opened bids for the con-
struction of State Normal School No.
,, at this place.
Concerning which the Baltimore
SIN stated:
This is the second time bids have been re-
ceived for the building the first bids being
returned because all were far above the appro-
priation made by the State.
The last bids are also above the appropri-
alton, which Is S20,OOO but not to the extent
Of the former. Alterations in the plans of the
building have been made to conform to the
appropriation, but unless there is an increase
in the appropriation it is difficult to see how
the board is to solve the problem of erecting
a suitable building. The bids opened are for
the building alone and do not include heat
ing, ventilation or plumbing They are as
follows.

The bidders explained to the board that the
increased cost of building materials made
their bids higher than they would have been
several weeks ago. Governor Lowndes pre-
sided at the meeting with Prof +. b. Pretty
man, secretary.
1t is expected the contract for the building
will be awarded in a few days.

General Joseph Carroll, of South
Carolina, is not only the hero of Mr..
Clements "A Southern Gentleman,
dainty, iyllic romance, but he is the
head and front, the central figure, the
life, the motive, the color and the char
acter of the play. His surroundings
are fitting and artistically appropriate,
but, after all, they are but the setting
of the jewel, a condition that is aptly
suggested in the title of the play.
Joseph Carroll is distinguished no less
for his gentleness than for his brav-
cry. His splendid qualities are so in
grained in his nature as innate quail
ties that he cannot help displaying
them, this being aptly illustrated in
the care he takes to avoid wounding
the Feelings of his servant While
his heart is fairly consumed by great
speechless love, he would let it break
rather than bring pain or sorrow to
the woman he loves.
In the portrayal of this beautiful
character Mr.. Clement proves himself
a master of his profession. The grace
lul IGDOS6 VI IuduHSl anu CLS ulil uILiCo
courtesy with which he meets his dead
ly enemy, whom he heartily despises,
were characteristic of the cool headed,
stout hearted, old school gentlemen,
who would never for an instant hest
tate between the alternatives of death
and dishOnOr.
Mr.. Clement has surrounded his hero
with bright and harmonious settings.
Miss Arzelia Thompson, the sweetheart
of the hero and the heroine of the
play, is a strong womanly character,
tender, loyal and loving, and is ad-
mirably presented by Mrs. Clay Glenn
ent. Miss Grace Standish, bewitch-
ing little Yankee beauty, affords Miss
Nell MacEwan excellent opportunities,
of which she fully avails herself. The
play will be at the Opera House Satur-
day evening.

A PLEA FOR OUR GIRLS.

1t was considered a great advance
ment in the progress of our State when
the doors of our West Virginia Univers-
lty We're so justly thrown open to wo-
men. That there was no mistake
made in this decision was fully
shown by the number of girls who
availed themselves of this opportunity.
West Virginia is sometimes rather
slightingly spoken of as the Mountain
GERS State, and as an undeveloped
State, but the grand success of our
University proves that we are not be-
hind other States in desire for cul-
ture. The women of our State have
shown their love for education in it's
highest form. Just here arises a prob
lem in the college experiment. Pa
rents are anxious for their daughters
to be educated equally as well as their
sons, but while they may trust a boy
to look out for himself and endure the
varieties of boarding houses he may
meet in a college town, or trust him
to be true TO home training in the
many drawbacks of the clubs. knowing
that any boyish misbehavior will be
passed over and forgotten with his
college days, with the girl all is diff
ferent. She cannot pass from boarding
house to club and be thrown with all
varieties of people. Her very inno-
cence may be the cause of a lasting
scandal against her fair name and
which may follow her through life
after she leaves college. No, the girl
must be under care that will protect
her at all times. Must not the State
see its duty in this line, that after adj
hitting the girls it must care for them?
This can be done only in one way. We
all know how much better it would be
for the boys if they were all under the
same roof and same care after school
hours. Then how absolutely necessary
is it for the girls?
We plead for a plan OF dormitories
such as other State colleges provide.
such as parents are begging may be
given their daughters. Education is
the safeguard of a nation"
We must use every allurement to
persuade people to be educated. Then
why not provide a safe plan for those
who long to come but who are re-
strained by the fact that no provision
has been made for a home shelter for
the girls? F.

NO FIGHT OF OURS.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Is it possible that the Republi-
can members of the Legislature of this
State seriously contemplate electing as
the representative of the State to the
United States Senate such man as
N. B. Scott? Here at his home, where
Mr.. Scott is best known, it is generally
and most sincerely hoped that his per
sonally conducted" campaign will fail.
To have it fail would be triumph for
the people; to have him succeed would
merely be another selfish advancement
of Mr.. Scott, and we should have sad
died upon the State a man who in no
sense could possibly represent the peo-
pie.
Mere wealth alone is not a sufficient
reason for comforting the high honor
of United States Senator upon any
man. Ability, personal worth and a
high and just regard for the interests
and welfare of fellow citizens, are fac
tors much more to be considered than
mere dollars, or a soul welded to self
interest at the expense of the many
Men who succeed" in life through the
methods pursued with such persistency

to the people: and when such a man,
conscious that the Office would never
seek him, as office sometimes does seek
men of worth, enters upon personal
solicitation for an honor which would
never come to him otherwise, it is time
for those who know him well to shower
protests upon the State capitol until
those having power to elect a Senator
awaken to the truth and forever rule
Mr.. Scott out of the game.

At the Grand for three nights and

Monday, January 10th, will be the sixth
annual review of John w. Ishams Oc-
toroons in an entirely new style OF
entertainment, consisting of an orig
inal musical farce, entitled "A Ten
derloin Coon" which excels any of
the performances given by this ceIe-
brated company before. The attraction
is sure of seasons success, many well
known and capable performers having
been enrolled under the new title and
unite forces i'll producing an enter
tainment which claims undivided at
tention throughout. The farce is pre-
scented with the finest scenery and
most gorgeous costumes that could be
devised. The singing and dancing en-
semble is all that could be desired, and
as for the comedy, that is well taken
care of. 1t has already been decided
by the fastidious critics of New York
City that the Octoroon programme
this season is beyond all doubt the
very best of its kind on the road to-
day.
