we record the death of Mr.. John 81.
Bane, which occurred early last Mon
day morning at his home near Shep-
herdstown. He had been i'll for some
time with typhoid fever, but refused
to give up and take to his bed as long
as he could stand. Peritonitis set in
and he grew rapidly worse, death re-
sulting soon after. Mr.. Bane's age
was so years, l month and 10 days.
He was never married, but devoted
his life to his father and sisters, whose
mainstay he has been for many years.
Kind-hearted, genial, industrious, he
will not only be sadly missed in his
home and by his friends. but the whole
community sustains a loss in his death.
For years he has lived on the Butler
place, and was a thoroughly good
farmer. He is survived by his father,
Mr.. James Bane, and by four sisters
and two brothers. The funeral was
held at his late home on Tuesday after
noon, Rev. ]. G. Thrasher officiating,
and the body was buried in Elmwood
Cemetery. A very large concourse
of relatives and friends attended the
funeral.

the last, as she did not take to her bed
until the day she died. Her home had
been in Washington, but she came to
the country with the hope that her
health might be restored. She was
a Christian scientist and had little or
no faith in the ordinary effects Of med

her late home by Rev. j. G. Thrasher
and she was buried in Elmwood Gem
etery.

Electric Light Rates.

At a meeting of the town council
on Tuesday evening the question OF
fxinga rate for electric lights was
pretty thoroughly discussed, in view
of the approaching installation of the
towns electric light plant. Rates
were obtained from neighboring towns,
and the following schedule was adopt
ed for Shepherdstown: For business
places per month, Is cents for the first
light, 60 cents for the second, 50 cents
for the third, and 40 cents for each
additional light thereafter. For res
licences it was decided to charge 5O
cents for the first light and IS cents
tor',each additional light. For churches
it was decided to charge dollar a
year for each light, and for manufac-
turing plants Is per month for each
light. These rates are lower, we be-
lieve, than those of any town in this
section, and it is to be hoped that
there may be a general use ofthe lights

Our New Music Teacher.

Miss A. Salome Wingate, of Wash
ington, who has accepted the position
of music teacher at Shepherd College,
is DESTROYS of adding additional pupils
to her classes, and we hope that those
who contemplate taking lessons in
either vocal or instrumental music
may apply to her at once. A gentle
man whose musical knowledge is of
the highest order, and who comes
from city noted for its talented mu-
sicians, says of her that she is as well
equipped for teaching as any person
of his acquaintance, and he adds that
Shepherdstown is extremely fortunate
to have so excellent an opportunity
for musical culture. Miss Wingate has
studied under such well-known in
structors as DR.. ]. w. Bischoff, of
Washington, Mrs. II. H. Mills, of New
York, and Prof. W. Edward Heimen-
dahl, of Germany, later of Baltimore
and Washington. We think she may be
unreservedly recommended both as a
vocal and instrumental teacher, and
we hope that her classes may soon be
entirely filled. Miss Wingate has &C.
ceptably held the position of contralto
soloist in the First Baptist Church
and Wesley Memorial Church in Wash
ington, and had been selected for the
same place in Foundry Church in that
city. She was also a member of the
Mills Ladies Quartet and of the
Euterpe Ladies Quartet. Added to
musical ability, she is a young lady
whose agreeable personality and high
character will make her a welcome
acquisition to Shepherdstown society.
Miss Wingate has arranged for
musicale in the town hall which will be
treat for lovers of good music. 1t
will be held Friday evening of next
week, October 4th. She will have to
assist her in this entertainment Mrs.
Frank Byram, pianist, Miss Florence
Stevens, violinist, and Miss Florence
Wiser, 'cellist-all from Washington.
These ladies are among the most &C
complished artists IN that city, and
Mrs. Byram is particularly noted as a
brilliant pianist. With the addition
of Miss Wingate's cultivated contralto
voice, it may be safely promised that
this musicale will be an entertainment
such as is not often excelled in Shop
herdstown. The price Of admission
will be simply nominal one-proba-
blY fifteen cents.

There was a large audience at Music

Wyman. Those present on the stage
were Father Reynolds, Thomas Heany.
J. w. O'Brien. and Prof. E. E. Caine
who acted as chairman OF the meeting.
The first number on the program was
a solo BY James Dillon. 1t was well
rendered and well received. Miss Nell
lie Anley favored those present with a
solo. She is a sweet singer. Miss
Francis Bliyan followed with a wsll
chosen selection which was pleasure
giving. Patrick McCarran recited
That old sweetheart OF mine" and his
recompense was hearty applause. He
is we'll worth listening to as a recita-

covered the ground with simple rea.
soning that a child could follow The

FISH AND GAME.
Test Cases to Prove Legislators We're
Asses.

1t takes legislator who lives forty
miles from stream on canned sardines
to make fish law and a pinheaded
henpecked husband to draft statute to
preserve Nevada game for California
shooters. Every ass who goes to the
legislature and doesn't know what else
to do monkeys with fish and game laws
to get his betters into trouble and to
provide the only means of totally des-
troying the fish. Our fish laws as
they stand are simply idiotic. Men
who unthinkingy violate them are only
following common sense in natural
way. If there is punishment It ought
to be bestowed upon the legislators for
forcing men to injure the fish. We
are told that the better class Of sports
men in Reno and WadsWorth who do
know something about fish habits have
subscribed to a fund to take the matter
before the Supreme Court for adjust
ment. The game law will be tested
this week The newspapers suggested
before the legislature met that any
member thereof interfering with these
matters be taken out once and hanged.
Its pity the advice was not acted
upon.
