Extending.

The linemen of the Winchester Tele-
phone Company are now engaged in
extending the telephone line through
North Martinsburg, thence to Will
Transport to connect with the Mary
land Telephone Company.
The Company has never had a line
in North Martinsburg, except one
line, which connects with Snodgrass'
Drug Store. The line will be extend
ed out N. Queen street and on down
the Williamsport pike. When this line
is completed the county will be about
covered by the telephone lines.
The new line will connect with all
small places along the route, such as
Falling Waters and Bedington, and
also place the main section of the city
in closer communication with North
Martinsburg.

rIInce pie.

Mince pies are an ancient institution
probably originating, it has been
claimed, in the sweetmeats presented
to the fathers in the Vatican en- the
vigil Of the Nativity, and known in
England under the name Of mutton
pies as early Is 1896.
Except the mutton or meat. tongues,
of which they are composed,
these pies are practically the same
as the mince pies of today the ingre-
dents having a supposed reference
to the offerings of the wise men.
According to Selden, mince pies were
in his time baked in a coffin shaped
crust, intended to represent the
"cratch" or manger, in which the
Holy Child was laid. This, how
ever, is doubtful. as in old English
cookery books the crust of a pie is
always styled the coffin.
An amusing anecdote is told
against himself by James /, He says I:
II, being in the kitchen of my lord,
my fathers house, the cook was max
ing mince pies: so, sir, ], standing
by the dresser, there lay a heap of
plums. Here was he mincing, what
did me? /, Sir, being a notable little
witty coxcomb, popp'd my hand just
under his chopping knife to snatch
some raisins and so was cut Ger the
hand, and never since could / endure
the sight of any edge tool. One won
ders whether the royal delinquent had
an equal objection to theEpies which
led to the disaster, but history does
not relate.

PLENTY of Ice.

The cold snap has ended all fear OF
a short ice supply for next summer.
There would probably have been sufi-
cient in any event for good ice has
been gathered for weeks from the sur
rounding steams. Great wagon loads
of ice have been seen going through
the streets, with chunks all the way
from eight inches thick mp. Many
ice houses are mostly filed. The
excellence of crop and its abundance
should make the ice cheap and plenty
throughout the year. Cold weather
always has its compensations. While
we have to sit by the fire to keep out
the cold in winter we know next sum
mer we can sit on the lawn comfort
ably enjoying the frozen block of the
previous winter.

Baptized in Icy Water.

Eight of the converts at the recent
revival held in the United Brethren
church, Williamsport, were miners
ed in the icy waters of the Potomac
river at Williamsport Sunday after
noon at A 80 O'Clock, by the pastor,
Rev. Fl. w. Richardson. Before the
exercises could take place it was neces-
sary to cut the ice, covering the river
to a thickness ranging from four to
eight inches. The converts were TAX

water was about three feet deep.
Fully 1000 people including visitors
from Hagerstown, Martinsburg and
other places gathered along the banks
of the river and witnessed the INNER
sion, which was at a point near where
the ferry crosses. Although shiver-
ing from having been immersed in the
ice cold water they remained until the
laat one had been baptized. Then the
eight quietly departed for their re
spective homes.

Nearly Completed.

The new short line railroad from
the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio
to the quarry fields, to be opened by
the Bessemer Limestone Company is
nearing compilation.
If good weather prevails the road
will be completed and the quarries
opened by the end of the month. The
contractors have been considerably
hampered in their work by the ex-
treme cold and disagreeable weather
during the past several weeks. One
hundred and ninety men are on the
pay rolls, but half of these have not
been working lately on account of the
weather.
The good weather which now pre-,
walls will be taken advantage of,
however, and it is thought. that the
road will be completed in ten days.
The company is now ssmaking exten.
sive preparations for the opening OF
the quarries.

Bold Thieves.

A bold robbery was committed In
the house Of Mr.. J. III. Lyeth, the
ticket broker, residing next to the b.
g. 0. depot, Friday night. The burglars
carried off three two-and -a-half gold
pieces belonging to Mrs. Lyeth and
about five dollars in small change
ont of q small bank belonging to the
young son.
The thieves gained entrance by the
window on the west side of the house.
The blinds had NOT been fasened at
night and they were easily opened
and the window raised.
After entering the house the thieves
went into the kitchen and there
found a lamp, which they lighted and
used in their search of the first floor
of the house. In a drawer in the safe
in the kitchen they found a pocket
book belonging to Mrs. Lyeth contain
ing 81. 80 in gold, which they appro-
priated and then proceeded into the
dining room.
In the dining room apparently the
only thing they found which would
be of any value to them was a small
iron bank belonging to Mr.. Lythes'
son, which contained about five dol
lars in pennies. nickles and dimes.
They carried this into the parlor
and. there smashed it. They took all
the money out of the bank and left
the pieces on the parlor floor.
The thieves were evidently looking
for money and nothing else has been
missed. They did not go up stairs or
into the store room.
Nh. Lyeth thinks the robbery was
committed at a late hour in the morn
ing, as the burglars were not even
kind enough to put out the light when
they left and very little oil was burn
ed out of it.
The police are working on the case,
but no clues have been found.

A Narrow Escape.

A strange woman came within an
inch of being killed on the platform in
front of the B & O. station in this
city Saturday. She was standing
on the main south track waiting for a
west bound freight train to pass SO
that she could cross to the other side
of the yard, when passenger train No
2 approached. The woman had her
back toward the approaching train.
The people on the platform screamed
at the top of their voices, the engine
whistle shrieked, but all, it appeared,
to no avail, and many closed their
eyes to avoid seeing the woman hurl-
ed through the air. But as the en-
CINE was about to strike her she
awakened to the situation and step
ped off the track just as the pilot of
the engine grazed her clothing.

Opening OF the Canal.

Extensive preparations are being
made for the opening of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio canal and for the in
creased business that is expected to
be handled by the old waterway this
season. The indications at present
point to the biggest seasons shipments
that have been made since the canal
has been in operation. The old Con-
solidated Coal Company's wharf at
the end of Winoew street has been
orr ont and is being replaced by a
new and better arranged wharf. The
old wharf was condemned some
time & and large ears were not al
lowed to stand on over night.
The new wharf is composed of double
the timbers of the old one. 1t will
be ready for use by the first Of March.
Mr.. Peter Kelly, the supplemental
ent of the western division of the canal
has a force of men at work repairing
the locks and doing other repair
work. The boat builders are also ac-
lively engaged in building and repair
ing boats for this seasons traffic.
Mertens' Sons have four new boats
ON their dry docks, which are nearly
completed and one has just been finish
ed. Each of them has a capacity of
over 100 tons Mr.. Nelson G. Read,
agent for Mearedith, Winship q Co.,
of Georgetown says the outlooks.for
the season is very good. His company
are rebuilding eight boats for the coal
trade.

Dined Under Four Monarchs.

How many ladies in English society
saws the Onlooker, have lived under
five monarchs it is difficult to say
without reference books. But old
Lady Carew and Lady Sophia Cecil,
the surviving sisters Of Lady Louisa
Tighe, have lived in the reigns of
George LII, George ~, William ~.
Victoria and Edward VII. Lady So
phia Celcil has certainly conversed
with them all. She is now rather in
firm for her tally drive ina four
wheeler but in her quiet dignifed
manner of the old school and she re-
collects her old friends even if she
has not seer them for years.

The Pope,s Wardrohe.

1t is little known that the aged &C.
clesiastical prince, Pope Leo XIII,
employees perhaps a greater mum
Der of chambermaids and s~eamstresses
than any royal or imperial princess.
But this is the case in the vatican, for
the wardrobe of the holy father re-
quires constant attention and care
Each of the numerous dresses has,
after being worm a few hours, TO
be most carefully cleaned and smooth
ed over again. AS His Holiness wears
always white dresses made of very
sensitive stuffs, it is not surprising
that after a few hours of use they need
a cleaning. Mans hands could not
be entrusted to handle these precious
stuffs, and thus it was necessary tC
employ women for this purpose. The
chambermaids of the Pope have also
TO care for the prompt replacement Of
his Holiness wardrobe. Generally,
the Pope appears in an ordinary
white dress, which during the sum
mer months, consists of silk, and dur
ing.the winter of fine white cloth. l
is held around the waist by a white
sash embroidered with gold.

trouble, and Mr.. Cahill is more than
pleased with his experiment. Sew
eral months ago a small circus broke
up at Martins Ferry and its property
was sold at auction. Mr.. Cahill, who
was at the sale bid in a few donkeys
the elephant and a tent, and took them
home, expecting to start a small
show himself. His father, Patrick
Cahill, a frugal Irishman, decided
that a beast Of the size of an elephant
could not remain on the farm and be
fed unless it paid for its board with
labor, so he harnessed it up and the
animal worked nicely. He did so well
that they have given up the idea Of
starting a circus, and will keep the
elephant on the farm.
