PROF. ARMsrRoNG's LECTURE.
Very Complimentary Reference to the
Address Delivered at Shepherds
town.

One of the very best lectures that
has ever been delivered in Shepherds
town was the address last Friday
evening by Prof. Robert A. Arm
strong, head of the department Of 1T
erature OF the West Virginia Uniyer-
'sity says the Shepherdstown Register.
The lecture was under the auspices of
Shepherd College, and was attended
by large and appreciative audience
of the college people and residents Of
the town and vicinity. Prof. Arm
strong's subject was ''The Friendship
of Books. His partly humorous
opening remarks put him and his audi
ence in instant sympathy, and until
the last word OF his thrilling beauti
full peroration he held the undivided
attention Of his hearers. The speak
er told of the comfort in books and
the pleasures in their companionship,
how the great souls Of this aud other
ages Of the worlds history were
brought TO us in close communion
through their writings, aud how we
may be elevated and guided into truth
and purity by sharing the thoughts Of
the good men and women who have
expressed themselves in the printed
page. He discussed the manner IN
which books should be chosen and the
way in which they should be read,
giving practical advice that was as
grateful as his eloquent flights. In
closing his lecture Prof. Armstrong
told of the beauty and the value OF the
great Book of books-the Holy Bible
and his apostrophe to that sacred
volume was So eloquent and impress
sive as to hold in breathless attention
the people who sat before him. The
applause that rewarded him was quail
flied only by the regret that the hour
had passed so swiftly The speaker
was warmly congratulated by the peo-
pie at the conclusion Of the address.
The opinion was expressed by many
that with such men in our State Uni
versity parents may feel safe In en-
trusting their sons stherey where the
precept and example OF strong char
acters are before them.
Prof. Armstrong was the guest Of
WI. duu WITS, II. Ii buyuef Wu1lt ue
was In Shepherdstown Friday night
after the lecture an informal reception
was rendered him at the Virginia
House by Prof. Muldoon and Miss
Johnson, and q number Of invited
guests enjoyed the balance of the
evening. which was enlivened with
musical and literary efforts. Satur-
I day he was entertained at dinner by
Prof. and Mrs. Kimler, with the
teachers of Shepherd College.
Prof. Armstrong is candidate for
the Democratic nomination for State
Superintendent Of Free Schools. 1t
may be needless to remark that Shep-

Her Papa's stock In Trade.

The Rev. Joseph Whyte, a promi-
nent Methodist divine. now stationed
in northern California, has an excep.
tionally bright little daughter. One
day himself and wife, with this little
lassie, aged years, were riding 10
the cars. Two little boys, the sons
of commercial travellers, were talking
to the little girl about their respec-
tive papas and what they did.
One little lad said, my papa sells
shoes, and the other said, milne
sells paper and, turning to the little
girl, what does your papa sell?"
For moment the child hesitated,
but, not to be outdone by boys, she re-
piled with the air OF a duchess, my
papa sells talk. Los Angeles Times.

skilled laborers at $50 month,
work for the money they get. They
work harder than any clerks in
Washington. They really render an
equivalent for the salary they draw.
1t is, also notorious that Mr.. Mer-
RAM is terror in insisting on clean
and accurate clerical work, and if
as many as dozen letters come
back in a day as the result of mis-
takes in directing them there must
be an overhanling in that division.
It Is all business in that office, and
Mr.. Merriam takes pride in the fact
that he was able to select such a
good force.

ONLY TWO MORE
Counties Yet to Report Reyaluation to
the Auditor.

The report,ofthe revaluation commits
sioner for Raleigh county was receiy-
ed at the auditors Office yesterday
The revaluation is $2,676, 487 an IN
crense over the assessment of 1899 of
1854, 173.
There are only four counties which
have not reported. These are Wood,
Marshall, Mercer and Tyler. 1t is
understood that neither of the two
latter will report, no one having ac-
cepted the possibility in either of
these counties. Each Of them en-
braces only one district, which is so
large, it is claimed, that one man can.
not undertake the work.
The reports of Wood and Marshall
are expected within a few days, when
the list will be complete except for
the two counties that will not report.
For Mercer and Tyler the board Of
equalization will probably have to ap-
proximate revaluation.

Great Big Difference Between That and
the Old Plan.

''In the neck" is where you feel 1t
when your collars are sent home from
the laundry with a s'raw edge"
When this happens to you, you say
to YOURSELF 81 am tired Of this. Be-
lieve I'll make change. I'll try an
other place..
You will like the way do up your
collars, cuffs and shirts! Returned
to you clean and white.
An careful of your linen, handle 1t
gently, use machinery that won't tear
it, also guarantee your linen will not
be dampened by water sprayed from
the mouth. Don't you know some

mouths?

ed again after Darkness Of Several
Weeks.
The town of South Morgantown and
the Gas Company have gotten together
and there will be street lamps replac-
ed in that town. The orders have
been issued to place them on the
streets again. There are to be thir-
teen lights aud they are to be OF the
fambeau pattern instead of the Wells
back as used in Morgantown.
South Morgantown did not want
that form of light and she protested.
The gas company refused at first to
put in any other kind but the agree
ment has finally been reached to put
back the old ones. The Gas people
keep up the lights and the town pays
so much for the service.

REPORTER DETECTIVES.

The chief of police of Chicago sug-s gests that newspaper reporters in that ciVs be placed upon the munic- jpal detective staff SO that the work they do in their regular routine of business and that their findings may be in shape to be legal evidence i,. courts.
 The suggestion shows that Chica- go's chief of police appreciates the ork of the newspapers in unearth- ing crime and wrongdoing aud the fact that the newspapers, without calling upon the public treasury, confer distinct service ill terroriz- ing evil doers.
 The suggestion would not, how ever, in practice realize it's promise. The objection is that no man can serve two masters. The duty of the newspaper is to give publicity to neglect and wrong doing. The newspape man would be hampered in bis best work ny being under the or ders of pol'ca department.
