David viii be here in Person.

So much interest is being taken in
the forth coming presentation of
"David Harumn at Swisher's Theatre,
Friday September Goth, that the as
sumption seems warranted that the
safe Of seats which begins this morn
ing will be unusually heavy. AT all
events arrangements have been made
to handle very large crowd when the
sale opens. The success of the play
has been of unusual proportions In
fact none of the bookmade plays Of
the past three seasons has had so great
a measure of success and the work
possesses lasting qualities which will
give it life for many years. Mr..
Turner who heads the cast, made a
very close study of "David Harum"
and before the production of the play
went to Homer, n. Y, and visited
all of the places mentioned In the
book. In making up as Harum be
adheres closely to the description OF
the man given by Westeott and he
certainly "looks the part. Great
care was taken in giving the play the
necessary atmosphere and the produc-
tion is most complete one. The
first act setting is an exterior scene
and is pretty. The second act shows
Harum's Office in the bank and the
third shows the old fashioned sitting
room in Aunt Polly's house.

THE most successful play taken
from a book in the last twenty years
is said to be the dramatization OF
David Harum." Last season it
headed the list of profitable Amer
lean comedies.

A cordial invitation is extended to
the ladies' of town to attend and see

An attraction that has made ire
mendous amount of success through
out the country is the dram atization
of Westeott's David Harum." The
drawing powers of this play are said
to be extraordinary and it is Meth
er hard or difficult to understand
why Westcott's book appealed to ali
classes of people who had any sense
of humor and its readers possibly
number several millions. 1t stands
to reason that good play made out
of this book would enjoy success
commensurate with the success of
the story. From reports more
than good play was made cut Of the
book and hence 1T is being heralded
as the greatest comedy success of
modern times. 1t will please any
number OF people to know that
"David Harum" will be presented at
Swisher's Theatre Friday Sept 9th.

pRINGELY GIFT OF pHIppS.
Pittsburser Gave 100000 For Benefit
of the Widows and Orphans
of Boer Victims of War.

Amsterdam, Sept. 25.-The Boer
generals, Botha, DeWet and Delarey,
have issued a manifesto in the shape
of an appeal to the civilized world.
This document recalls how, after the
terrible struggle in South Africa, the
Beers were compelled to accept the
British terms of peace, the generals
were commissioned to proceed to
England and appeal to the new gov
eminent to allay the distress which
is devastating the colonies and, in the
appeal to the civilized world for char
liable contributions.
Must Appeal to Europe and America.
Continuing, the generals say that,
having failed to induce Great Britain
to grant further assistance, it only
remains for them to address them
selves to the people of Europe and
America.
simultaneously with the issue of the
appeal for assistance comes the state
ment that the boer funds have re-
ceived the enormous accession of
100000, the gift of Henry Phipps, the
well-known Pittsburg steel man.
To Relieve Widows and Orphans.
In notifying General Botha of the
gift Mr.. Phipps wrote from Beaufort
castle, Scotland, Sept 20, that he and
his family had followed the course of
the war with anxious hearts and were
eager for the sake of both sides that
just ending might be made. Now
that the war is over" continued Mr..
Phipps. it is a privilege, and. be-
lieve, a duty. to do something to re-
lieve the sufferings caused by the
war. | feel that the best service T
could render would be to provide
100000 for the relief of the Boer
widows and young orphans fund, to
be disbursed by you and two others
My desire is that the temporary mis-
cry Of the women and children should
be relieved, and at the same time I
trust nothing will be done which
could justly be described as unfriend.
ly to Great Britain"
General Botha, in his reply, dated
from Brussels, Sept. 81, asknowledg-
ing this most generous and unex.
pected gift" adds. in part:
No Hostility to England.
Il have not the slightest hesitation
in giving you assurance that the
money will be used solely and en-
tirely philanthropically and that 1t
will in no way be applied to do any.
Thing which could be justly described
rs unfriendly to Great Britain.
Your generosity will always be
most thankfully remembered by me
and all those who are to benefit
thereby In behalf of them, as well as
General Delarey and myself, | tender
you our deepest thanks. and may the
Lord reward you"
Tart Comment From Chamberlain.
Attached to the correspondence is
a letter from Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain to Arnold White, saying
that as he understands Mr.. Phipps'
gift is purely philanthropic he will be
willing to render any assistance in
his power to secure its proper admin
istration, even though the fund is con.
fined to assisting the Beers. Mr..
Chamberlain points out that the
fund naturally. would appeal more
strongly to English sympathy II its
object was to assist all the widows
and orphans who have suffered
through the war. without distinction
OF races or politics.

ABOUT BRIDGES.
Two of Them need Repairing Another
one Needs Building.

Both the Pump station bridge and
the one leading to South Morgan
town are in bad condition. The
South Morgantown bridge has not
been repaired since it was damaged
early in the summer The other
one is in bad shape. The county
should see to it that these structures
are fixed before big bulls for damages
begin to come in.
In this connection it is well to
state that nothing is doing on the
Falling Run bridge. There is some
thing wrong about the shipment of
the iron. An investigation as to
what is the matter is in order There
is going to be row if this bridge
does not get placed pretty soon.

100000 PENSIONERS.
The Next Report Will Show That Mark
Has Been Passed.

The United States pension list has
passed the 1000, 900 mark.
Pensions growing out of the Spanish
American War have had a great deal
to do with the increase, although the
number actually pensioned is small in
proportion to the entire number of
men-something like 800, 000-who
served during that conflict.
At the end of the last fiscal year, on
June 80 last, the pension rolls lacked
554 names of being 1000, 900. Dur
ing July 2,051 pensioners were added,
bringing the grand total to l,001, 497
on July 81 last. At the end OF the
fiscal year the list exceeded all previ-
Gus records OF the total number of
pensioners at the close of any fiscal
year.

join it. Residences to accommodate
the employees of these plants are in
great demand The lots are sold on
easy terms making it possible for
every one to purchase one or more
of them. No addition in town will
prove more profitable to investors.

NEW MAIL ROUTES.
Ones to be Established for Country
People.

Nothing has been heard at the post
office relative to the establishment Of
the new rural mail routes 10 this sec
tion. That they will be established
before very long however goes without
saying. Mr.. Smith of the postofiice
department has recommended them
and they will come.
A new route is to start from Nor
gantown. This will 60 out through
the Flats country. Mr. Raker's route
will be changed somewhat. He will
not go across Cheat river any more
and will take in more territory on this
side of the river than he has had.
A new route is to start up Cheat
from Cheat Haven. This will supply
those who are now reached by Mr. Ba-
ker on the east side of Cheat and will
also reach many others. These
changes are all expected to be made
before very long.
