M. AND K. AGAIN BUILDING.
Extension is Now Being Made
by The Owners.

Ibey VIII go 10 the Splash Dam THIS
Fall and TO Reedsville Next Year
One Hundred Men will be Employed
on the Work Coon Hollow Trestie
to go mp at Once.
General Manager Martin OF the
M. & *. stated to the New DOMINION
this morning that large force of
men had started to work on the ex-
tension Of the road into Preston
county and that by Monday nearly
100 men would be on the ground.
The road is to be completed TO the
splash dam by the first of January
and as much farther as NAV be per-
mitted by the state of the weather
Here it will enter the lower end Of
the Glades and will be sent to Reeds
vile during the coming Summer
Plans for the rest of the building
that may be done later are not de-
veloped sufficiently to be discussed
The Coon Hollow trestle will be
built Immediately. The foundations
for this have been put in and the
timbers required in the work are on
the ground. Expert workmen will
be placed on the structure and it
will be erected as fast as it can &C
up.
1t is the intention of the road tc
enter the Falls tract which is to have
its timber taken off and this has
caused the present move forward. Il
will be remembered that this timber
has been purchased recently by
Fairmont and Connellsville men who
will put in some big mills to cut the
timber.
Sometime ago the bonds were
voted by the people for the exten
sion of the road lapsed under the
provisions under which they were
voted Mr.. Martin did not say any
thing about them and whether the
road expected to get any support
from this source.
The curves on the extension will
not be as sharp as they have been
surveyed but the road is being built
in first class manner regardless ei
the expense. There are now 2 miles
OF road way. tits 6 miles to Reeds

UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Yale Visitors Bring Home
Beautiful Souvenir.
ProIs. Barbe and Green Come Back
Miss Clark and Mr.. Spence GaYe a
Recital at Pafkersburg -Preiiminafy
Oratorical Contest Other Interest
ing Matters From the Big School.


Miss Julia Ailleen Clark. teacher
of Voice in the University School Of
Music, and MIR. Ross Spence, In
structor on the Violin, have gone to
Parkersburg, where they gave re-
cital under the direction of Mr..
Chas A. Bukey, Organist of Trim
ity Episcopal Church. Mr.. Bukey,
who is one of the musical leaders of
the state, is giving series of con
certs this winter in Parkersburg.
1t is probable that Miss McMurphy,
Director of the University School of
Music, will assist at one of these
concerts.
Profs. Green and Barbe, the official
representative of West Virginia
University at the Yale Bi-Centen-
NAL, brought home with them a
beautiful bronze medallion, the gift
of Yale to West Virginia University
which commentaries the 200th an
niversary of the founding of Yale
College, and it is a very attractive
bit of art 1t has been turned over
to President Purinton
The Semi Centennial of Waynes
burg College, November 6 and Z.
will be attended by President Pur-
inton who will deliver an address on
the evening Of November 7.
The first preliminary contest to
decide who shall represent West
Virginia University in the Central
Oratorical League will be held Nov
ember 22nd. The Oratorical League
is composed of Cornell University.
Ohio State University, Ohio Yves
leyan University, the University OF
Illinois, the University of Indiana,
and West Virginia University. The
annual contest of the League will
not be held until next May.
The Department of Fine Arts has
eighty students this fall term, and
is in very fourishing condition.
The instructors, Mrs. Hubbard and
Mr.. Leonard, are crowded with
work. This department is attact-
ing many promising students, and
is securing admirable results.
1t was predicted a good while ago
that the Greek letter fraternities
would smother out the two regular
old fashioned Literary Societies, the
Columbian and Parthenon, which
have been in existence ever since
the founding OF the University. For
a time after the Greek chapters
came here, it did look as though the
Literary Societies would be crippled
but this has turned out not to be
true The fact of the matter is that
more interest seems to be taken In
the Literary SOCIETIES this year than
for long time. The membership
of each of them is large, and the
programs are interesting and of a
high character. All students with
literary tastes, and those. interested
in public speaking, join one or the
other Of these Societies, and they
doubtless get as much benefit from
their connection with the Literary
SOCIETIES as they do from any other
part of the University life. A great
majority of the graduates of the
University who have achieved dis
tinction have been members of one
or.the other Of the old Literary So
cieties, and have taken active part
in it's proceedings.

Some misunderstanding has
arisen as to the date OF the appear
ance Of the Deemster here 1t will
come on Saturday evening Novem-

out of the fact that the show people
have changed the date three times.
Manager Swisher informs us that
it will be Saturday and that they

the performance as given in Wheel

Years ago, when animals of pure
breed were scarce in this country. farmers
used to grow some very good cows,
although both the parents were of such
mixed breeds that it would have been
difficult to tell what predomin ted Why
was this. and if it was so why do we so
often insist on the use of pure bred
sire? Because such animals were acct
aents that did not often occur, while we
desire In breeding not to take chances,
but to know with a certain degree Of
surety what we are to expect. Those
animals OF our fathers days had strain
of pure blood in them. and perhaps of
more than one breed, and they were
liable to breed back TO the hes, when
they we're from the best animals they
could select, as now we find one of So
called pure breed revert back to some
unknown and far-away ancestor of in
terior blood. The care in selecting the
best to breed from had as much to do in
determining the character of the off
spring as the length of the pedigree,

Literary Notes.

In the editorial comment on current
affairs in the February Review of
Reviews, the death OF Queen Victoria
and the accession of King Edward, as
the overshadowing events of the past
month, demand first place. Excellent
portraits Of the lamented Queen, the
new King, Queen Alexandra, and
other members of the British royal
family accompany the text. The
editor analy yes the remarkable influence
of Victoria as a sovereign, reviews her
long and splendid reign, and points
out the elements OF strength and
stability In the monarchy "a 1t will be
administered by Edward VII.
The destruction of the Catholic
convent at Charlestown, Massachusetts,,
by Boston mob, early in the century,
WAS one of the worst exhibitions OF
bigotry which has ever disgraced
New England. The general facts are
well remembered; but in the February
number of the New England is a
critical study by Mr.. James p. Munro
of the causes and incidents OF the
deplorable affair In full detail The
subject has never before been 80 well
treated; and the article, with it's many
careful illustrations, is n distinct con.
tribution to New England history.
Thomas F. Willard, the WAT CORES
pondendent Of Scribner's magazine
sends from China a remarkable summary
of the international conditions prevail
ing there at present. and very shrewd
analysis OF the part played by the
various armies and the representatives
OF their governments. Mr.. Willard is
the first man to make proper allow
ance in his writing for the very biased
statements of the foreign resident" in
China. He also fully reveals the cam
paign of revenge and plumber which
has been promoted by the Germans
and shows how they have been making
cruel expeditions against people who
have shown no resistance whatever
Mr.. Willard also shows how fortunate
are the United States in escaping from
the whole difficulty, and how honorable
their attitude has heen.

National Grange Convention.

The Lewiston Journal states that
Estate Master Obadiah Gardiner, L.
of II. has announced that the next
session of the National Grange, Z. of H.,
Will be held In that city next November
1t is expected that ten thousand patrons
will be present. The session will last
about two weeks.
State Master Gardner says regarding
the decision as to the place of meeting !:
~ had given notice to representatives
of the cities Of Portland, Augusta, and
Lewiston early In January that | had
concluded on account of the competition
for the honor of entertaining the
sessions, to have each city submit such
propositions as 1t cared to. | further
told them that the propositions must
he In on or before January is, at which
time the executive committee of the
Maine State Grange would refer the
whole matter to them for the selection
of place.
"At the time of the meeting the only
square business proposition covering
all the points at issue was from Lewis
ton as represented by It's Board of
Trade. That proposition covered all
the essentials we had in mind and
was eminently satisfactory to us
The purpose of getting the National
Grange to hold its sessions in Maine
WAS primarily to benefit our own mem
bership and we came to the conclusion
that we could convene IA greater number
In Lewiston than anywhere else.
after duly considering all the
propositions the executive committee
voted unanimously in favor of Lew
iston.'

Christian Endeayorers.

Portland extended a hearty welcome
to the Young Peoples Society Of
Christian Endeavor, whose dele
gates assembled In that city for the
double purpose Of holding the annual
convention and of celebrating in the
place of its origin the twentieth ami.
versary of the society. Portland feels
peculiar interest in this society.
With glow of maternal pride she has
seen 1t grow and prosper. Here it was
born. Here movement began, which
WAS destined In the short space of n
score of years to sweep over the world
and to be stamped as the most remark
able moral and religious movement of
modern times.
The story of the origin of the Chris
tlan Endeavor has often been told
The Idea sprang from the brain of Rev
Francis <. Clark, who was the pastor
of Wiliston church 10 1881, and who In
January OF that year organized In his
sfadv soct"'v or young members of
hl parish, lind themselves to
- The name OF the organization
expresses, that Is, eDdesyor to live up
10 the principles of Christianity. 1t
was an inspired thought. Mr.. Clark
buIlded better than he knew. A
society formed 90 such lines seemed to
fill real want, TO supply lack in
the agencies OF church and parish work
That Is shown by its phenomenal spread.
In twenty years It has grown from the
single parent society TO 60,750 societies
and from a membership of 81 to a
membership OF $500, 600 Beginning
In the Congregational denomination.
1t now includes representatives OF more
than forty denominations.
Beginning In Portland 1t has reached
practically all countries In the world,
and its literature is printed In all the
chief languages on earth and In
many dialects. II publishes periodicals
In many countries, and issues large
numbers of books, pamphlets and arti-
Giles.
Out of the main organization have
grown branch and auxiliary societies
like the Junior, intermediate and Senior
Endeavor, floating societies, prison
societies, travellers societies, etc. 1t
has gradually become a highly organ
lied instrument Of work in the moral
and social field, through many commit.
tees whose duties reach out TO all de-
partments of benevolent activity. No
review of the history of the 10Th Gen.
fury will be complete without some
account of the rise and progress of
this most remarkable movement in the
religious world. 1t has done and is
doing great good in the world, and it is
still growing, and is apparently a long
way yet from having reached the
ma ximum Of growth and well doing.

Nearly every farmer wife and other
good housekeepers know that when a
potato has turned green by exposure to
the sun ard wind it is neither pleasant
nor wholesome for food. and in TACT. it is
very poisonous Fortunately the taste
is such that no one is likely to eat enough
to get fatal dose. This is due to the
presence of solanin. an active vegetable
poison, which probably exists in all
potatoes, but more abundant in the
white sorts than the red. ii is claimed.
In some German experiments, it was
founc that old pots;oes contain more
soanin than those freshly dug. perhaps
three times as much. and if they have
sprouted five times az much and with
very much more in the sprouts If
peeled before boiling the water extracts
much or the poisonous solanin. but this
is not the case if boiled with the skin.
Potatoes when sprouted should not be
given to animals. it is stated, as the
boiling does not not remove the poison.
II fed with them animals become lame
in the knees or other joints and some-
times they die.

Women who Won Medals,


In view Of the encouragement given
In Chicago and the impetus given to
their enthusiasm at that time, 1t Is
remarkable that they have failed to
achieve distinction at Paris. Out of
over 100 gold medals awarded for oil
and water color paintings, French and
foreign. only four have been accorded
to women artists. Miss Cecilia Beaux,
an American, was one of the fortunate
and distinguished quartet, the other
medals going to Nine. DumOnt-B Breton,
daughter Of Jules Breton; Mile. Bailey
sof Paris and Mile. Breslau of Switzer-
land
1t may be deemed a matter of con-
gsar6tatIoti that the four prizes went

Frenchwomen received silver medals,
among them Madeline Lemalre and
Mile. Dufau, both well known outside
their own country.
Women failed to achieve first dis
tinction In the classes of engraving
and TYPOGRAPHY, sculpture, engraving
on medallions and precious stones and
architecture. Two silver and seven
bronze medals went to Frenchwomen
and one bronze medal to Hungarian
for engraving. For sculpture, silver
medals were awarded to three French,
one japanese and one Finnish artist
the latter, Nine. Vallgren, wife OF the
celebrated sculptor. Eight bronze med
ais were awarded to women scuip-
tors. among them Mile. Camille Clau-
del, the only pupil whom Rodin ever
consented to teach. In architecture no
medals were awarded to women. Med
ais of gold and silver were awarded to
two Russian women for embroideries
and tapestries.

Latest Luncheon Cloths.

A new wrinkle in luncheon cloths is
to have them woven In two tints, yell
low and white pink and white or green
and white. With gold banded china
the yellow and white combination is
remarkably effective. Nothing, how
ever, Is In better taste than the rich,
thick, solid linen which is usually
handsomely decorated by hand en-
broidery of border sprays and center
garland large enough to surround a
vase of flowers or fruit piece. The
pure white affords capital back
ground for crystal and silver as well
as fancy doilies and pretty dishes.
