Shepherd College.


The fall term of Shepherd College
State Normal School will begin in
Shepherdstown on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 18th. We are glad to note
the fact that the outlook for a large
attendance and year of good work
is extremely bright, considerable
number of new students having ap-
piled for entrance. We think that
Shepherd College will have faculty
this year second to no Normal School
in West Virginia. Every branch will
be taught by competent instructor,
and each department will be capably
managed. The school will be COM
fortably located in the original college
building, and it will work in the pleas
ant prospect this year of having next
year the best normal school building
in West Virginia. The people of JEFF
ferson and Berkeley counties and Of
this section of the State ought to ap-
preciate the great advantage OF having
this school so conveniently located for
the education Of their children.
Young men and young women can be
fitted here for any ordinary station in
life, or they may be prepared for the
universities and higher colleges if they
desire a professional career. Tuition
is free to all students from this State,
and low rate is offered to those from
other States. Boarding is cheap in
Shepherdstown, and its surroundings
are such as to make it very desira-
bic place for comfortable and happy
living. The people of this section will
do well to send their sons and daugh-
tiers to Shepherd College.

Bass Getting Scarce.

The local fishermen in this section
have become thoroughly convinced that
so far as this section is concerned the
black bass have almost entirely diSap-
peared. They have tried every bait
known to the angler, and while some
large fish have occasionally been cap
tured, yet they are so scarce that the
boys have hung up their tackle and de-
termined to wait until the late fall, with
a hope that the bass may return. The
scarcity Of fish IS attributed TO various
causes. Some contend that during the
weeks of muddy water last spring and
in the early summer the bass worked
their way to the head waters of the
stream, hunting clear water. What
ever the cause may be, it is evident that
the bass have departed.
We take the above from the Hamp-
shire Review. What it says about
the scarcity of bass in the South Branch
is true of this part of the Potomac. 1t
is mighty hard to catch a string Of
bass these days, even when the water
is clear, though it has been clear only
a couple of weeks since last spring
We do not believe that the bass have
gone to the headwaters, for we are
pretty sure that none have gotten over
Dam No 4-unless they flew. We are
rather inclined to the theory that the
carp have made them scarce by eating
the spawn from year to year. The
South Branch is an ideal stream for
bass, and if they are scarce there it
is not much use to fish for them else
where. We hope that Fish Commits
sioner Bowers may look into this sub
ject and help us out by restocking the
Potomac with its best Of all fishes.

Administration Hopeful That Il Will Accept
Amendment.

Washington, June 10.-The cabi-
net was in session over two hours
today discussing the Cuban and
Philippine situations A communi-
cation has been received from Cover
nor General Wood III regard to the
prospect for the unconditional accept
ance of the Platt amendment, but its
contents are not made public. 1t can
be stated, however, that there is a
hopeful feeling in administrative
circles that after the first soreness
wears off the convention will see the
wisdom of accepting the terms of
the amendment. The answer to Gen
eral Wood to be sent and the language
of the communication was under
consideration today. Meanwhile the
status in Cuba is to be maintained.
No action looking to the calling of
another convention is contemplated
if the present convention should de-
cline to accede to our terms.
The program looking to the estab-
lishment of civil government in the
Philippines is being formulated in
the shape OF an order which is to be
promulgated shortly. 1t is said that
there is no definite conclusion as to
whether the powers of the civil ad-
ministration will be exercised under
the general war powers of the presi-
dent or the power vested in him by
the Spooner amendment. That, how
ever, is considered matter of detail.
The main point is that the civil ad-
mnistration, which will be confined
largely to the municipalities. will be
vested in the head of the Taft COM
mission and such other officials as
may be designated, and that they
will exercise their functions subject
to the direct authority of the seere-
tary of war, to whom all reports will
be made. Civil administration un-
der. military supervision, such as is
contemplated, is said not to be anom-
alous, and the civil government in
New Mexico and che Southern states
during the early stages of the recon-
struction period are pointed to as be-
ing substantially analogous to what is
proposed in the Philippines.
