Cleveland. Ohio. has begun an expert
cnce similar to that now being enjoyed
by Wheeling. Over 900 street car men
are on strike. The employees Of the
consolidated lines are asking recogn.-
ton Of the union, and 1t has been re-
fused. The result Is tie-up of all the
systems. while the companies are scour-
ing the state for new men. An attempt
to run The cars was unsuccessful, and
another attempt will be, made to-day.
The situation Is very similar to that
which has prevailed in this city. though
upon very much larger scale.

Correspondence Of the Beacon }


Last week very enjoyable dance was
given by the students of Charlotte Hall
Academy, and judging from the interest
manifested we infer that all had a very
pleasant time. Among those present
were Misses Margaret Mcbride. Jalie
Petherbridge, Mary Thomss. Lille and
and Ella Shaw, Lucy Chesiey, Ethel
Canter, Frances Briscoe, Matte Harri-
son and Mrs. Coad. Among the gentle
men present were Majors G. VI. Thorn
as aud W. s. Weeden, Messrs. Harrison.
Waring. Pesherbridge. Shaw. De Lash
mutt, Wilmer, Young. Hull and vertner
The music. which was exceedinglycharm-
ing, was furnished by the Glee Club of
Charlotte Hall. Mr.. Winans, who went
TO Santiago as bugler, but l. at this time
a Cadet at Charlotte Hall, added greatly
to the enjoyment Of the occasion by a
display of his musical talents Ae.
acknowledgements are also due TO Major
Weeden and Mr.. Chiswell for valuable
assistance. But enjoyable as the dance
was, it does not compare with the enter
tainment TO be held in the School Hall
by the Glee Clab on February Is. This
entertainment Is expected to surpass
anything of n similar character held in
the county for many years. The many
talented musicians aad graceful dancers
of this historic village sill make any en-
tertainEent that they undertake bril-
liant success Uncle Jack hopes in fu.
ture issue of the Beacon to give is read
ers more extended description of the
great educational advantages of this his
toric school. Hoping the Editors will
pardon me for encroaching upon their
space. remain correspondent of yous
valuable paper.

Well, little readers, as you seem de-
sirous to hear from your old friend he
will again endeavor to give you the ben
eft Of his pen with the hope that the
years of labor in your behalf Is not
thrown away. We stand upon an emf
nencc that overlooks the momentous
events of the past-the future before us
unwritten and untold. Silence does not
always mean forgetfulness, and it is not
his fault that you have not heard from
him before now. Il sometimes means a
return like that of the prodigal SON

the legacy of Mother Eve. and to such q
fate must We bow in submission, regard

meetings upon the threshold, and thus

existence is supplied. Some wise one
