THE YALE DRAMATIC CLUB.
.,, r The Second Shepherds Play to be PrC
 1I1CaJ m Nav %

The Second Shepherds Play to be Pro-
 duced on May 23,
 The amount of keen interest taken in Yale's new dramatic club by men prom inent in the dramatic profession is un- usually marked. President Clark re- ceived the following letter yesterday from Augustus Thomas the well known playwright and author:
 My Dear MT. Clark-I have had the pleasure of seeing the sheet poster which the Yale Dramatic association ls- sued proclaiming their forthcoming production of the Second Shepherd s play. May I wish them and you sue cess in the venture and at the same time say that any performance will be sue cess, for to my mind the hopeful side of the attempt appears not so much in the prospective applause as in the fact itself that the intelligent element of a newer generation is taking organized interest in the drama.
 The momentum of the endeavcr of a lot of clear-eyed, fair minded, upstand- ing boys, such as any class of Yale must be, is factor for good in my profession lHdl l ilcui lily CiltSl. idiS ypuiSb
 AUGUSTUS THOMAS.
 May 16, 1900.
 The reading of this letter before the club last night was greeted with glo- rious round of genuine applause; and the officers of the association feel cer- tain that the performance of Wednes- day next will demonstrate that MT. Thomas belief in their ability will be realized. All is in readiness to give the audience an entertaining and instruc- tive evening.
 Frank Lea Short has drilled the casts and representative audience most ad- Every function of the produc- tion he has taken entire charge of and has handled the situation not only in masterful way but in way that has been pleasant and interesting to the Yale actors.

pRor. 81. agoasE r. BROOKE
Suggested as "A Candidate tor the su-
preme Court Judgship.

MoRGANrowN, w. Va, May rs
The many friends of Prof st. George
t. Brooke, of the University Law
Faculty feel that IN casting ABOUT for
candidates for the Supreme bench of
this State, no better or wiser selection
could be made by the State conven-
ton than Of this able and talented
jurist for one OF these judgships.
As the founder OF the University
law school his scholarly attachments,
profound knowledge OF the law and
untiring industry have contributed 10
no small degree TO the euviable repu-
tation which the law school now en-
joys, and it would be but fitting
recognition Of his services to the legal
profession of the State to accord him
this honor. From expressions from
leading members OF the bar over the
State it is believed that irrespective
of party affiliations his candidacy
would receive enthusiastic support
from the legal fraternity large NUM-
Der of whom received their legal equip
ment at the hands of DR.. Brooke and
his associates on the faculty and who
recognize and admire his distinguish
ed attachments, conspicuous ability
absolute impartiality, and eminent y
judicial mind
Such nomination would add
strength to the Democratic ticket and
would inspire confidence o. success
among party workers everywhere. 1t
is to be hoped that the State conyen-
tion will honor itself by honoring one

ing sons. Lex 10 Wheeling Register.

COL. Sims RETIREs
From Adiutant Generals Office to Re-
engage In Business.

Col. G. \. Simms. who has for the
past few years been closely identified
with the military affairs of the State
first as acting assistant adiutant
general and subsequently on special
details, has severed his active con.
neetion with the office and will re.
turn, with the family, to Ronceverte,
where he has an extensive hardware
business saws the Charleston Ga
zette.
Col Simms came from Ronceverte,
partially sacrificing his business in
terests to do SO, upon the first call
BY the President for volunteers for
the Spanish AmerIcan war. He as
sisted Adjutant General Casteel in
the arduous duties that developed
upon The office during those stirring
times, and when Col Casteel accept
ed the command OF the second West
Virginia volunteers Col Simms be-
came acting assistant adjutant gen
eral. When Co. Casteei finally sew
cred his connection with the office
to accept a commission as captain
in the 9th volunteers Col
Simms was urged to take his place
as assistant atjutant general but
declined it on account of his bust
ness interests and the place went to
the present efficient incumbent, A
S. Huston.
Col. Sinms was then detailed to
make an inspection of the guard.
This completed, he was detailed on
military board of survey. After
that be was detailed on another in
spection. and in this way was kept
actively at work He has just com
pleted his reports for the last in
spection.
Col. Simms retires with record
such as has been made by few mill
tary officials in the State. Careful,
methodieal, and painstaking, he has
done much towards recognizing
the guard and placing in it sys
ten such as it has not been able tC
boast before
Col Simms still retains his com
mission of lieutenant colonel OF the
Second infantry.

So much has been said that the at

TWO CENTS
HER THIRD TIME Ur.
A Romatic Episode Found in the Coi-
umps of the Johnstown Dem.
oerat,

The Johnstown Democrat of Thurs
day. says: Mrs. William Laird lives at
No. 523 South Street. That is she
used TO, but doesn't any more. The
Mrs. Laird OF this narrative was 4
widow when she married one of Johns
towns best known citizens. He aud
the Mrs. were loving couple, and
though upwards OF 20 years of age,
were seen on The street together q
thousand times oftener than the av-
errge couple III greater pretensiens
dear little gray couple going cheerily
down the bill OF life together.
And then, about one year ago, Mr..
Laird died, and the little woman
mourned him with unfeigned sinceri-
ty till a very recent date, whensa conn
paratively young man came upon the
scene and paid his court TO her, she q
widow OF 10 and made blushiug one
by his ardent wnoing, and he sigh
ing swain Of rs, who admired the
gray hairs and the still trim figure Of
his lady love.
As ever, the course of true love did
not run smoothly at trst, for the little
widow could not believe her senses,
although it was her third experience
of the kind. TO neighbor She com
tided the interesting information that
Farmer John De Croft, of Westinore-
land county, was calling upon her,
and sometimes staying almost TOO late
she thought. His visits worried her,
she said She wondered what no
meant. And then, a short time later
She told to the same neighbor the
story of her new-found happiness.
For John had asked her 10 he bis wife,
and his wooing had been SO nice and
tender that when he came TO the point
~ just jumped up from my chair,
She said. shouted Glory to Godi' and
fell into his waiting arms.
Last Tuesday they left No 52a to-
gether and took a trip down TO the
farm. John wanted her to see that
he was not fooling, and She well. she
wanted TO see John S place. 1t Just
suited her, the house aud the cows,
and the dear little pigs and the baby
chickens and all that so she told John
she was his for keeps, ard Sunday
they went to the preachers and the
knot was tied.
Upon their return to JohnstoWn the
boys, who had heard the good natured
gossip OF their mothers, turned out in
droyes, and the greatest calithumpIan
serenade that the city has known In
years came off right there. But the
| little wife only smiled. and when the
boys grew tired and took rest she
carried them out plate OF cakes and
peanuts, which soon vanished, and
then the serenade began again and
continued till shower Of nickles and
silver was thrown to them. Aud this
ended the evenings fun.
And now Mrs De Croft isn't certain
that she prefers the farm TO her own
pleasant little home, but she and
John are expected TO settle their first
disagreement in few days and live
happily ever after.

PARDON is DELAYED.
Judge Brann0n of the Pardon Board re-
servesOpinion In the Vale Boughner
Case Pending the Decision of the SUI
Dreme Court,

MoUNDsvILLE, w. Va, May %
The session of the State Pardon Board
has been devoted almost exclusively
to the application for pardon in
the case of Vale Boughner, of Clarks-
burg, who was convicted in the cir
cult court of Harrison county of MUIR
der in the second degree, for shooting
with fatal effect man named Young
at Clarksburg, last fall, and who was
sentenced to seven years in the peni-
oentiary. The case was taken to the
supreme court on writ of error, and
Boughner has not entered on his penal
sentence, pending the decision of the
court.
The evidence was revised carefully
by the Board with the result that Mr..
Brannon reserves his opinion until the
supreme court passes on the case.
The case will be taken up at the
next term Of the supreme court, and
while it is believed that there will be
a pardon for the accused, whose in
Docence is believed in by hundreds of
people familiar with every feature of
the case, liberation is delayed until
the court gives its opinion one way or
the other, when Mr.. Brannon will be
prepared to pass on the question.
