HallOW Fen Entertainment.

The music club, had a very enjoya-
bic meeting last Thursday night in the
town hall, and a number ofthe friends
Of the members participated in the
festivities of the occasion. The club
and the invited guests were entertained
by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. D. Muldoon, Mr..
John Byers, Miss Johnston, Miss Win
gate and Miss Woolery. The hall had
been appropriately decorated in Hal
low Zen style. Shocks of fodder
stood here and there, fall flowers dec.
grated the walls, and the floor was
covered with autumn leaves with red
apples strewn among them. Numer-
Gus dishes of popcorn were placed
at convenient places, and opportunity
was provided to fish apples from pans
of water. The musical programme Of
the evening was one of the best that
the club has yet given. Included
were two numbers by the quartette,
one of which, Gail Hallow Zen" was
especially composed for the occasion
by Mr.. John Byers. 1t was sung by
Miss Lutte Allstadt, Miss Margaret
Byers, Mr.. Byers and Il. L. Snyder.
The words and music were bright and
catchy and the author and the singers
were complimented by liberal applause.
Miss Amanda Titus sang with fine eff
feet charming song, Roses" with
either accompaniment, and Miss Lutte
Allstadt rendered vocal solo in her
usual pleasing style. Miss Genevieve
Waldron gave as piano solo a COM
position of her own that was brilliant
and effective and most exquisitely
rendered. Miss Lalla Reynolds also
had piano solo which was beautiful
ly executed. Miss Mary Wyvllle
Syme, teacher of elocution at Shep-
nerd College, gave two recltatlons,
1.-The Chariot Race From Ben Hur"
and Little Boy Blue, andwe think we
have never heard more effective rem
ditions. Miss Syme was warmly ap-
plauded, as she deserved to be, for her
recitations were beautiful. The pro-
gramme was opened and closed with
very creditable selections by the or
chestra.
The refreshments were unique-de-
licious pumpkin pies and coffee and
cocoa. Everybody seemed to like pie
and enjoy it. After several i'm
promptu additions to the musical pro-
gramme had been enjoyed, the festiv-
tiles were ended with the Virginia
reel. 1t was an altogether pleasant
entertainment, and the hope was gen.
orally expressed that it might be re-
peated often.

The B. & O. to Touch shepherdstown.

Telegraphic dispatches from Mar.
tinsburg state that Major Goldsborough
and corps Of Baltimore & Ohio civ
ii engineers have begun the work Of
surveying a route from Tabs Cross
ing, couple of miles west of Martins
burg, to point on the main line
mile west Of Harper's Ferry, by way
of Shepherdstown. The proposed new
route is chiefly to facilitate the hand
ling of freight trains, by avoiding the
steep grades between Martinsburg and
Harper's Ferry, particularly the hill
which east-bound trains have to climb
between Tabs and Hobbs's. The
grade is so heavy that helper engines
are required for all freight trains, and
even then progress is slow. The new
line would be about % miles in length,
and for most of the distance would
follow the easy grade of the Potomac
river. 1t would provide the sort of
route that the railroads are now gen.
orally seeking for the speedy and eco
nomical hauling of trains, and with
the other improvements now in prog
ress would give downhill road from
the Alleghanies to tidewater 1t will
be remembered that a few years ago
this route was surveyed by B. & 0,
engineers with the same end in view
but nothing came of it.
The building of this line would
doubtless be of much benefit to Shep-
herdstown and this part Of the county.
1t would give railroad facilities to the
cement mill below this place and
doubtless cause resumption Of work
there on a large scale; it would also
pass the Knott and Flanagan lime
stone quarries and the Virginia ore
bank and probably induce considera-
bic development there.
Perhaps one of the main rea sons
why the line may be built, however,
is that it would serve a useful purpose
in shutting out the possible construc-
ton of a railroad along this eide of
the river by the Davis-Elkips inter
ests. With the canal on the Mary
land side and the B. & o. pre-empting
the Virginia shore, any other railroad
would have difficulty in making its
way eastward.
The route now proposed was that
which was originally contemplated
when tue Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
was first constructed more than
half century ago. Shepherdstown
would have gotten the road then had
it not been for the shortsightedness Of
some of the business men Of the town,
who sturdily opposed the Improvement
for fear it would take from them a
part of their trade. Those who had
teams on the highways and boats on
the canal for hauling goods wanted no
railroad to compete with them in their
business, and this spirit actually lost
US the railroad.
Railroad construction doe. not al
ways follow surveys. There is reason
to hope, however, that the line re-
ferred to above may actually be con-
structed.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
President Roosevelt has issued the
following proclamation:

following proclamation:
The season is nigh when, according
to the time hallowed custom Of our peo-
pie, the President appoints day as the
especial occasion for praise and thanks
giving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death OF
great and good President. We mourn
President Mckinley because we loved
and honored him; and the manner OF
his death should awaken in the breasts
of our people a keen anxiety for the
country, and at the same time reso-
Lutte purpose not TO be driven by any
calamity from the path of strong, or
derby, popular liberty which as nation
we have thus far safely trod.
Yet, in spite of this great disaster, II
is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one OF peace
and plenty. We have prospered in
things material and have been able TO
work for our own uplifting in things in
tellectual and spiritual. Let us remem-
Der that, as much has been given us,
much will be expected from US; and
that true homage comes from the hearts
as well as from the lips, and shows it
self III deeds. We can best prove our
thankfulness to the Almighty by the
way in which on this earth and at this
time each Of us does his duty to his fell
low men.
Now, therefore, |, Theodore Roose-
Welt, President of the United States, do
hereby designate as day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the 18th day
of this present November and do recon-
mend that throughout the land the peo-
pie cease from their wonted occupa-
tions, and at their several homes and
places of worship reverently thank the
Giver of all good for the countless bless
ings Of our national life.
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States TO be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
second day of November, in the year Of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and one, and Of the independence OF
the United States the one hundred and
twenty-sixth.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
BY the President:
JOHN HAY,
Secretary Of State.
