The Baltimore and Richmond Chris
tan Advocate, speaking of the recent
death of Mrs. Cackley, wife of Rev. Dr.
A. NJ. Cackley, former pastor of Jeffer-
son Circuit NJ. E. Church South, SAYS:
We learn with great regret of the
death of Mrs. Cackley, wife of DR.. A. M.
Cackley, of our Conference, on Saturday
last, in hospital at Washington City.
Mrs. Cackley had been an invalid for
years past. Some months ago her illness
assumed a more critical type, and has at
last terminated fatally. During her long
period of indisposition she exhibited in a
very striking degree those gentler attri-
butes of the Christian character which
sanctified suffering is so well fitted to de-
develop.
More and more has she been matur-
ing for the rest upon which she has enter
ed made perfect through suffering.
Through all her years of weakness and
pain she has had the most delicate atten-
ton and untiring ministries of love from
devoted husband. These were recip-
rocated with equal fondness and fidelity
on her part. Our brother has our warm
est sympathy in this hour of bereave-
ment "

GobeIin Tapestry,

So important are their artistic merit
and historic value that no history OF
tapestry is complete that does not in
clude description of their design and
execution. For more than 200 years
the existence of the papal manufac-
tory OF tapestries was unknown to the
modern world Documents relating to
its origin and productions were buried
and forgotten in the mass of manu-
script in the famous Barberini library
until very recent date. when they
were unearthed by Eugene Muntz, di-
rector of the National Ecole des Beaux
Arts at Paris. In the popular mind
all tapestries are associated with the
Gobelin factories of France.
Curious to relate, not yard of tap
estry was ever woven by member of
the Gobelin family. Immortality came
to them from the fact that in the mid
die of the fifteenth century the founder
of the family established a dyehouse
which became famous and brought
the proprietors fortune. Descendants
shrewdly transported skilled tapestry
weavers from Flanders, whose work
they directed and marketed until tap
estry and Gobelin became then, as now
synonymous throughout the world

An Excellent Selection

Miss Grace NORRIS. of this place, has been
appointed teache of the Myerstown public
school. She received her education at the
Graded School here, where she was always
looked upon as diligent and pains taking
student, one that was bending every effort
to equip herself tor the higher ideals in life
Being well grounded then in the studies of
oar public school system. and with one
years teaching in East Virginia, she will
assume the duties of her new position as one
not without experience. Compent, deserv-
ing and in every way worthy of the honor
conferred, the trustees of the school are to
be congratulated on the selection made.
Miss Grace is quite popular among all class
es, who will learn with much pleasure and
satisfaction that her ability and accomplish
ments have been justly recognized in this
the home of her nativity. We can we'll i'm

Messrs. Walker Bros, of this place,
have contract for the erection of an iron
bridge to take the place of the old stone
arch bridge on the Valley Turnpike over
Tumbling Run, at the foot of Fishers
Hill. Thus this well-known structure,
familiar doubtless in the recollection of
every soldier who in the early sixties
tramped up and down the Shenandoah
Valley, gives way to the new century
march of progress and yet there appears
to remain in Charles Town some few
who, for a sickly sentiment, would main
tain on the principal street OF an other
wise go-ahead young city an unsightly
and now useless wall in the midst of the
highway-an obstruction to the same and
so situated as to be a contributory nui-
sance in that locality. Messrs. Walker
Bros. have also contracted for the cree
ton of several other iron bridges, among
them one over Rattlesnake Run near its
mouth on the Potomac in this county,
one at Bristol, Virginia Tennessee, and
one at Pocahcntas, Va.

Sleep and Dreams.

A German physician says: THE fact
is women require larger amount OF
sleep than men. The nervous excita-
bility of the female constitution is gen
stronger sex, and a woman's sleep is
consequently lighter. Her dreams are
more vivid and leave a more lasting
impression on the memory. Women
addicted to dreaming usually sleep al
hour longer than those who do not
dream, for dreams induce WEAKNESS
Any one who sleeps without dreaming
rises on the morrow refreshed from his
couch, which is otherwise not the
case"

Rouss' Big Gift Confirmed.

The announcement made last week
that Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss, the
blind New York millionaire, would give
five thousand dollars to the Winchester
sdemorial Hospital fund, was confirmed
by letter received from Mr.. Rouss by
Mayor Barton authorizing him to draw
on Mr.. Rouss for the money at such times
as 1t may be needed IN the construction
of the hospital building. The letter from
Mr.. Rouss is as follows:
New York City, July "a, 1901.
= Hon. K. T. Barton,
Winchester, Va,
My valued friend Replying to vors
of the nth, inst. concur fully with the
sentiment of the good pepl of the dear
old town as to the worthines of the hos
pital enterprise, and consider it priv
ilege to contribute lords its futheranc. |
therefore authorize U to draw on me for
the sum of FIVE thousand dollars (S5, ooo),
at such time or times that it may be need
ed in the construction of the bilding de-
signed
Trusting that thos in charg of the
good work may find no difficulty in rails
ing al that is required for the complete
success of the undertaking, with best
wishse. Very truly yors,
&c. B. RoUss."
This latest manifestation of Mr.. Rouss'
love for Winchester. says the Star, is a
distinct refutation of the story WHICH has
frequently been told of him and has been
printed that he never gives anything to
purely charitable institutions. On the
other hand it is but another substantial
evidence that a heart more loyal to his
old friends and more responsive to the
appeals of deserving objects never
throbbed within the breast of any man.

Mr.. James W. League, of Martinsburg,
is rusticating at Middleway for the re-
cuperation of his health. Jim has been
our fast friend since we were boys in our
teens. Coming from Clip to Charles
Town in ante-bellum days, he was prob
ably the most popular and highly es-
teemed store-boy in town. Later he did
loyal service for the Confederacy in the
memorable four years bloody struggle.
and after the war became the trusted and
worthy business lieutenant of the late
Hon. John w. Grantham, A few wears
ago he was appointed to position in the
Internal Revenue Service under Presl
dent Cleveland, and well and faithfully
performed his duties. We hope his stay
at his boyhood home will do him much
good, and that he will soon be restored
to his former robust health.

and well wishers of this popular couple.
