Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and Sc
cured a large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that the
average person would never suspect
them of being spurious. Things OF
great value are always selected by coun-
terfeiters for imitation, notably the Gel
ebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which has many imitators but no equals
for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
nervousness and general debility. The
BitterS sets things right in the stom-
ach, and when the stomach is in good
order, it makes good blood and plenty
of it. In this manner the BitterS get
at the seat of strength and vitality, and
restore vigor TO the weak and debilitated.
Beware of counterfeits when buying.

THE MARYLAND BALLOT LAW.

The Legislature of Maryland has
passed the new election law for which
it was called in special session. A
great deal of comment has been caused
by the passage of the measure, the Re-
publicans charging that it is simply
an attempt to disfranchise the negro
voter. The law is almost identical
with that of Massachusetts,, but there
seems to be vast deal of difference
between the Acknowledgement of illit-
crates in New England and curtailing
the privileges of colored people in
the Southern States. Maryland's new
law provides that the names Of can
didates on the ballots shall not be
marked by any distinctive emblem as
heretofore nor shall the voter have as
sistance in preparing his ballot. Its
effect is, of course, to prevent any per-
son from voting who has not sufficient
intelligence to read the names OF those
who are candidates for the respective
offices. The Republicans are bitter
in their opposition to the law, because
they jump at once to the conclusion
that as the great bulk Of illiterates,
mostly negroes, are in that party they
will thel efore suffer the most. They
assert that the new law is a scheme
of that prince of politicians, Arthur
P. German, who hopes to ride back
into the Senate upon it.
Whatever may be the merits or de-
merits of the new law, it simply en-
phasizes the fact than an educational
qualification is gradually but surely
becoming recognized as necessity.
1t is the law in Massachusetts, and in
Louisiana, and now Maryland as
representative State of the Middle
East falls into line with other States
that recognize the desirability Of such
a provision, Such law may be the
desire of politicians for their own per-
sonal ends, but this does net destroy
the fact that it is backed up by a
large element of the most thoughtful
students of public policy. We believe
the law has come to stay in Maryland
and that it will be adopted by almost
all the other States sooner or later.
Because the party which gets hit the
hardest does not like it will not stop
the movement.

A remarkable case of self-mutila-
ton is reported from Toledo, Ohio.
About 5 O'Clock last Saturday eve
ming Mrs. G. Brunschueider, with an
ordinary pair Of scissors cut off all
toes of her left foot, both her ears
close to the head, and about an inch
of her nose. She then cut out a por-
ton Of her right cheek, inflicted FIVE
gashes in the left cheek and finally
began on her arms. Beginning at
her left forearm, she removed every
vestige of skin, laying bare the muscles.
She also lacerated the right arm in a
horrible manner. Mrs. Brunschneider
is about so years of age, 1t is thought
she was temporarily insane on account
of domestic troubles. Her recovery
is doubtful.

The fine spring at the north end of
the grove at Berkeley Springs was
wrecked with dynamite one night last
week. The masonry on the top and
sides was blown away and the ground
deeply furrowed. The spring belongs
to the State. The authorities are max
ing every effort to run down the van
dals. There has been much contro-
versy and illfeeling over the leasing
of the spring, the matter having been
before the Legislature, and the mud
die is said to be responsible for the
dynamiting.

treatment. Hall S Catarrh Cure is taken

Reuben S. Keller, Of Hagerstown,
and Miss Jennie L. Young, of Jefer-
son county, were married in Martins
burg Monday at the Lutheran parson-
age by Rev. c. S. Trump.

Republicans elected but one. The
mayor is Democrat and the council
will have four Democrats and one Re-
publican.

last Sunday night ]. F. Kearns, a
young farmer, was confronted by a
mountaineer named William Smeltzer
who, with the words, "You don't know
me and 1 don't you and 1 might as
well kill you" struck him in the head
with large stone, rendering him un-
conscious and inAicting an ugly wound.
Smeltzer escaped, but the officers are
on his track.

DR.. JEROME H. RAYMOND, the
president of the State University, has
shaken the dust of West Virginia
from his feet forever, and after as Bit
ter experience as usually falls to the
lot of decent man he has retired de-
feated and Inundated and disappoint-
ed in what he had fondly hoped
would be the worthiest ambition Of
his life. AS stated last week, DR..
Raymond's resignation as president
of the University was accepted by the
board of regents, and Thursday morn
ing he left Morgantown for New York
to take steamer for Europe, where,
with the ocean between him and his
enemies, he will try to forget the
troubles of the past few years. His
prosecutors were unrelenting to the
last, and DR.. Hartigan, who is suing
him for alleged SANDER, went so far
as to get out an attachment against
and tried to hold his clothes and
household effects, though without
avail. 1t seems to US that DR.. Hart
igan could with propriety have for
borne this last indignity. The Uni
versity is now in charge Of Prof. P.
B. Reynolds, who will be acting pres
ident during the indefinite period that
may be required to find a head for the
institution. The selection of presi-
dent will be the most important duty
that the new board of regents will
have to perform, and though several
names have been mentioned for the
place it is of course impossible to tell
who will be called to fill the vacancy.
With the experience of previous pres
idents, 1t is probable that few persons
who are really worthy will rashly
jump at the place.
The final session of the regents was
marked by some warm expressions OF
opinion between the two factions in
the board. Regent Davis accused
Regent Sturgiss of altering certain
records, and the bitterness shown in
the meeting is conclusive evidence
that an entire new board of regents is
a necessity.

many more in the outlying country.
Half a hundred persons were badly
hurt and some of these will probably
die. The property loss is estimated
to be over a quarter of million dol
lars. The force Of the tornado was
such that houses, trees and stones
were torn up from the ground and
carried some distance. The storm
came without warning and had passed
almost before its presence was realized.
A negro was caught stealing from
the wreck of a Birmingham building

The people of the towns in the Val
ley of Virginia along the line Of the
Southern Railway are taking active
steps to interest the Baltimore & Ohio
RAILROAD in building It's own line be-
tween Strasburg and Harrisonburg,
thus closing the gap between those
two places and providing competition
against the Southern Railway, which
has made its freight charges so exor-
bitant. We hope that the people of
this beautiful valley may be success
full, but the chances are against them,
for the tendency Of these times is not
to provide competing lines but on the
contrary to smother competition by
consolidating. As long as small cote

ONE crowned head in Europe is

Car of Russia are plotting against
him continually, and though he has
had the rooms in his palace lined with
steel plates and has an attendant to
taste every particle of food that he
puts in his mouth, yet he lives in con-
tinual fear OF his life. Recently an
underground mine was discovered be-
meath his palace, and he dares not
move outside his apartments unless
surrounded by swarm Of soldiers
and he fears to even trust them. Being
