The EIocutIonary Recital.

The public recital and musical held
in Shepherdstown last Saturday night
closed the summer term of the elocu-
ton school.
The program was opened by a beau
tifully rendered piano solo by Miss Lal-
la L. Reynolds. The first number in
the contest, THE Gypsy Flower Girl,
was given by Miss katharyn Donley in
natural and graceful manner. Miss
Julia Reinhart followed with the pa
thetic story of jamie, which did not
fail 10 win appreciation from the au-
dience. Miss Welshans then sang the
translation of the little German song.
Last Night" Miss Bessie Butler pre-
scented the dangers and temptations OF
College life in the tragic story of Col
lege Oil Cans" and Miss Belle Sim
mons sang in q sweet, expressive voice
the beautiful contralto solo, sleep
Well. Sweet Angel" She was heartily
encored and replied with the waltz
song, dream Faces. At this juno
ture Prof. Hines entertained the au-
dience with pathetic story Of the race
track entitled 'Skimpsey.' He was
followed by Miss Daisy Myers, who in
telling the "Old Actors Story, won the
choice of three months scholarship
or the gold medal. Miss Myers Is 10 DC
congratulated, not only on her success
in winning first place, and her wonder
full improvement in voice work, but al
so on her good judgment IN choosing
the scholarship. Miss Allstadt sang IN
her usual. charming manner, a CLASH
cal solo. and responded 10 a hearty APP
plause with Lady Lou" Miss Maud
cross gave the "Octoroon" in a manner
which convinced the people as well as
the Judges that she was thoroughly IN
sympathy with her selection, and lead
a true conception of elocution as an art.
Although we enjoyed Miss Louise Ten
ants well told story OF How Jimmy
Watched the Baby" we could not help
wondering how the baby felt-just i'm
agine having yourself blackened with
shoe polish. The program was closed
by several humorous sketches and The
Shadow of Song, monologue, by
Prof. Hines. The Shadow song, floating
out over the darkened stage, came TO
the huShed audience as voice from out
the mysterious past The gold medal
fell TO the share of Miss Maud Cross,
who won second place.
Besides the other musicians men
toned, thanks are due TO Mrs. J. ID.
Billmyer and Miss Lorraine Turner for
the sympathetic manner in which they
rendered the Accomplishments.
Prof. Hines will begin the fall term Of
his school of elocution on Wednesday,
September 18th. X.

MIR. Whitmore's Adventures.

The fact that fellow who is des-
tined to drown Will never be shot is
emphasized in the case of VIM. Il.
Whitmore, of this vicinity. A few
weeks ago Mr.. Whitmcre and negro
hand were thinning corn and took
refuge under a tree from shower.
A bolt of lightning struck the tree
and killed the negro, standing right
beside Mr.. Whitmore, and so stunned
the latter that his life was despaired of.
He subsequently recovered, however,to
make another miraculous escape. On
Monday of last week he was hauling
in sheaf wheat a part of the load
slipped. A three prong fork on the
wagon slid off with its business end
upward. AS Mr.. Whitmore was falling
from the wagon, the fork falling to-
wards him, one tine caught him in the
shoulder, the middle prong grazed his
neck and the third tine caught him
about the collar button, piercing the
windpipe and throttle and came out
the back of the neck just below the
base of the skull. One tine also passed
through the shoulder, coming out be-
hind. Thus impaled, against the side
of the wagon, with his feet several feet
from resting place, he was COM
PEELED by sheer strength, to grasp the
handle of the fork and withdraw it by
raising the whole weight of his body
upward-a remarkable feat. The ac-
cident was fortunately without any
serious disadvantage to Mr.. Whitmore'
as he was in town the Friday after
noon following. 1t is one of the most
remarkable accidents we ever heard Of,
-Charle8towu Advocate.

A Sad Drowning Affair.

A dispatch from Martinsburg to the
Baltimore Sun yesterday says Earl
Henshaw, popular young man, son
of Mr.. Hamilton Henshaw, a prosper
Gus farmer of near Darkesville, Berke-
ley county, was drowned in the Po-
tomac river, near Falling Waters,
this afternoon. The young man, who
is about 20 years of age, this morning
accompanied party Of young people
from Martinsburg and vicinity to the
clubhouse Of the Wetumpka Outing
Club, which is situated near Falling
Waters. He was with some Of the
younger members of the party in a
boat when, without a word to make
known his intentions, he deliberately
jumped from the boat into the water,
which is at least Is feet at that point.
He never came up, A boat was put
out from shore and the other boat
with its occupants brought back.
Several ladies along the shore tainted
when the occurrence was made known
to them. What the young mans in
tention for doing the rash deed was
is not known. 1t is said that he was
unable to swim, but it is thought he
jumped out merely to scare the occu-
pants of the boat, and was caught by
a bush or something under the water.
The river is being dragged for his
body, but so far without success. He
could have had no intention of suicide,
for no known cause existed for such
an act.
Young Henshaw is well-known
here, where he attended Shepherd
College for several terms.
