Tuesday night demonstrated his alb
solute control Of the Pipe Organ, and
a large and enthusiastic audience filed
the auditoriumof the Baptist church
and thoroughly enjoyed DR.. Baldwin's
second recital, which was a marvel in
harmony. Noone questions his ability.
A perfect master OF the instrument,
he interpreted with delicate shading
and exquisite feeling each selection on
the program. The Organ Concert was
a success in every way. A good audi
ence is assuredto DR.. Baldwin when
ever he visits Clarksburg again.

Captain Shields a Candidate.

captainP. II. Shields informs the
Telegram that, upon the urgent re-
quest of his many friends, he has de-
cided to make the race for city
clerk, subject, of course, to the repub-
lican convention. Mr.. Shields put up
a strong fight last year and came
within a very few votes OF being elect
ed city clerk. His friends think he
will make much stronger race this
wear and feel confident Of his election.
He possesses all the requisite qualifica-
lions for the office and would, doubt
less, make a very satisfactory city
clerk.

his hometo Wilsonburg station that
morning, and, after doing some trad
ing at Francis store, started to walk
up the railroad track to the post Office
at Strothers store, n quarter of a mile
west OF the station. At midway
point he heard the express coming and
stepped from the main line, evidently
mistaking one for the other He had
scarcely stepped on to the main track,
when thecngine struck him. Engin-
eer Harry Cook did not see him in
time to reverse his engine and resort
ed to blowing his whistle, the only
alternative left him. The killing oc-
Cured shortly after 10 o'clock, the
express being about 40 minutes late.
Mr.. Ash'sremains were taken to Fran

puts forth
The tender leaves of ope,tomorrow
blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick
upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing
frost,
And-when he thinks, good easy
man, full surely
His greatness is a ripening-nips
his root,
And then he falls, as I do. have
ventured,
Like little wanton boys that swim
on bladders.
This many summers in a sea of
glory;
But far beyond my depth; my high
blown pride
At length broke under me, and now
has left me
Weary, and old with service, to the
mercy
Of a rude stream that must forever
hide me.
Vain pomp and glory Of this world,
hate ye;
I feel my heart new open'd.
This wonderful outburst of ell
cquence, accredited to Woisey by
a greater than he, is very like
what he might have said, if we
know anything Of the man. And
it tells, as no other utterance has
ever told, Of the evanescence of
mere human glory, lust for power
and pelf, and that vain ambition
which would march over the
bones Of poverty to the palace Of
the rich, or over murdered men
to the throne of the great.
Wolsey, himself the offspring of
poverty and ignorance, schemed
and lied and swindled his way to
that sea of glory in which he did
swim through many fair sum-
mers, the envied Of the earth.
In the end nothing was left him
but his robe when he came to beg
as charity his little six feet of
vile earth. That he did not bare
his great cx-neck to the heads
man was due to the momentary
tenderness Of the royal murder
er whom he had served. "Crom-

ambition; by that sin fell the an

his ruin he could advise others
