Work Is Now About Done.

The new opera house is now assum-
ing an appearance that give an idea,of
how it will look when completed. The
flooring is about all down, the gallery
up and other parts of the building
are rapidly nearing completion.
While the work is being done with
all possible haste, 1t is not being done
with haste that makes waste.
Architect Whitson is giving the work
his personal attention and there is no
plan that escapes his eve. A large
force of carpenters is al work and the
din of the hammer and saw make 1T
almost impossible TO talk laudibly on
the inside.
: By the middle of this month it is
expected that the work of the carDen-
tiers ON the opera house will be about
completed and the building ready for
the seats and the paint. 1t Will take
about two weeks to arrange the seats
and for the painter to get IN his work.

THEY ARE JAILED HERE.
Conductor Geary Locked the Men I'm the
Car and Photographed from North
Branch, Md, for Officers
10 Meet HIS Train In
Martinsburg.

After having enjoyed long ride in
side door palace car loaded with
freight on through east bound freight
train, three strange men were taken
out of the car upon its arrival here by
Officers Fulk and Freeze. They gave
their ma nes as Oluf Beck, Harry Ross
and M. Thomas Shelly. Conductor
Gearv saw the men in the car in Mary
land and locked them in and then tel
egraphed to Martinsburg from North
Branch for officers to meet the train
when it arrived here.
The men were taken before Justice
S lyder and sentenced to jail for thir-
ty DAYS for stealing rides on trains.
In order to get into the car the tn ee
men or someone else must have bro
ken the seal. While they are in Jail
that charge will be investigated by
the detectives and if enough evidence
can be worked up against them they
will have to a. swer that charge.
If, as all the facts tend to show,
the seal was broken in Maryland, it
looks as if the b. q O. officers are
working Berkeley county for too
much of good thing in bringing
prisoners here from Maryland to be
prosecuted for an otfense committed
in that State.

md the commissioners. brought on by
motion submitted by Commissioner
PauldinR.
Commissioner pauld1ng submitted
in writing a motion that the use OF
the Public School Arithmetic By j..
A. Mcclellan, A. M. L. L. D., aud
A II. Ames, a.. b. be discontinued ~
once in the b" classes OF the princi-
pals room in each of the wari schools
for the remainder Of the year and
that the the use of Public School
Arithmetic be discontinued IN the re.
mainder of the schools at the exDiIa.
ton of this school year.
After the secretary finished reading
the notion, Superintendent Cole arose
and said that such motion WAS rath-
er sudden and unexpected by him and
rhat he thought that action should not
be taken on the motion without full
investigation by the board and re-
port of the teachers. He asked as
favor to him that the board POSTPONE
action until after thorough conslde-
ration of the matter.
Commissioner Paulding spoke in ia
vor Of his motion, stating that ne
had heard considerable complaint
about the books and that after
a lengthy observation he had
reached the cen fusion that they
had not given acknowledgements.
The statements of Prof. Cole and
Commissioner Paulding brought forth
discussion Of the arithmetic ques-
ton. especially between those two.
who occupied the floor at intervals at
the same time.
The two continually asserted their
friendliness towardss,ea ,h other. but
at frequent intervals the argument
became so heated that break OF
friendly feeling was imminent. The
bomb came very near exploding when
Mr. Paulding said MY children are
doarer to me than the vanity of any
man - then again when Prof. Cole
said And are the children all liars,
which brought forth the reply 'Then
am | liar?'
The words of one of the other COM
missioners at that juncture poured
oil ON the troubled waters.
Commissioners Gerhardt and Whet-
eel were with Commissioner Pauld-
ing in his efforts to abolish the use
of Mcclellan and Ames' arithmetics
in the schools, while Commissioned
Evans advocated thorough investi
cation of the question, securing the
opinions of all the teachers who
taught the books. before action was
taken.
Commissioner Evans moved that
the matter be laid on the table and
taken up at future meeting called
that purpose.
There was no second TO this motion.
Mr.. Paulding's motion, which had
been seconded was called for aud
carried, Commissioners Paulding,
Gerhardt and Whetzel voting for and
Commissioners Evans against it.
On motion of Commissioner Ger
hardt the original motion was recon-
sidored and changed so that it provid
ed for the discontiuuance of the Nc
Lcllan and Ames arithmetlcs to Feb
ruary 10, instead of at once and Rays
arlthmetics used i'll their place.
The board then adjourned.

ARRESTED BY A u. S. MARSHAL
GILBERT BRAxToN TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY BY DEPUTY PAULDING.
Iating the U. b. Internal Revenue
Laws-Capfas sent Here from
CIarksburU.
CIarksburg.

Gilbert Braxton, a negro, was taken
into custody Friday night by United
States Deputy Marshall Jno T. Pauld-
ing on caDias sent here from the
United States Court at Clarksburg.
The instructions to Deputy Marshall
Pauldlng were to arrest him and bold
him in Jail here until May 49,, when
he should be taken to Clarksbrug for
trial iii the United States Court for a
misdemeanor.
Although the nature of the offense
was not mentioned in the capias. 9TH
er than it was misdemeanor, it is
believed that Braxton is charged with
selling liquor on the streets without
license. The prisoner vows that he
doesn' know what he is arrested for.
1t is probable that complaint was
made before the grand jury at Clarks-
burg and he was indicted for that
offense as it is alleged that he has
been guilty of the habit of dispersl ng
liquor on SUNDAYS.
ARRESTED FOR SWEARING.
Edward Murphy was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Officer Fulk on
the charge of using profaDe language
and cursing Mira Norris. He was
given hearing before Justice Snyder,
who found him guilty and imposed
fine of 81 and costs, in default of

Pennsyivania, who conducted the eeo- homie investigation, would naturally drop cut This would leave no vacancies in case the President should continue the old Commission. and that he will make large number of changes seems irn- probable, Rear-Admiraf Walker, Presi- dent of the old Commission, has had so much experience in canal investigation, having headed the Walker Commission which investigated the Nicaraguan route exclusively, that his appointment is talk en for granted.

 The Herald has an abiding confidence in the sound sense and good Judgment of the people, and feels assured that they proclaim their devotion to the great prin- ciples of legislative reformvand of white supremacy through a wise suffrage sys- tenn, which are now imbedded in the fun damental law of the land. tThey will do this by voting for the nominations of those who had a part in ,and are in full accord with the sentiments and aspira- tions which though often disappointed at last found their fruiti0n in new con- stitution that places Alabama on far higher plane than she occupied under the old one. The present admirable chief ex- ecutive of the State. Governor W. D. Jelks. Is the concrete embodiment of those sentiments and aspirations; he stands for the constitution and all that It implies.

CREAM of the SPECIALS
PRESIDENTS ORDER
Retiring General Smith Severely
 Criticised.

Washington Special to New York Times.
 A sensation was created in army cir cies today by the publication of Presl- dent Rooseveits decision In the case of General Jacob H. Smith. serving in the Philippines. retiring that officer from the army. This was done although the. eour. sentenced him o'be "admonished by the reviewing authority" The President. however. retired as we'll as reprimanded him.
 The belief Is general among army ofi- cers here that If the court which tried General Smith had had any idea that the President would exceed the sentence in- posed 1t would not have convicted the General at all. General Smith has spent his record Is excellent. He is near to the retiring age. To retire voluntarily with the stain of a reprtmand is severe pun ishment, according to army ideas. But to a compulsory retirement from fservice. instead of allowing him to walt for the regular retirement for age was. m the opinion of army officers. beyond what the court martial expected
 General Smith, 1t will be remembered. was sent to punish the massacre of Ba- langiga. That massacre was so fragrant that the soldiers in the Philippines felt that the offenders must be made an ex- ample of. General Smith was convicted of having used language.in an oral inter view with one of his subordinates which exceeded the spirit of his own written or. ders General Smitb's friends in the arr my say that his habit of language is well known.
 He acquired the sobriquet of "Heli- Roaring Jake" not because of violence (which he showed in war. but because of the extravasnnce of his language. which is habituai with him. In his written or ders General Smith has always been care ful to observe the proprieties. but he is an eccentric man, who in conversation de- lights In Abiood-cnrdling epigrams and fantastic oaths His friends in the army laugh at these and never take them in any other way than as a joke, and that this habit af language should have led the old soldier to a. disgraeefui ending of his career Is { matter of sincere sorrow to them.
 It Is pointed out by officers friendly to General Smith that Secretary Root in his letter to the President, expressly points out that nobody obeyed the Generals or- ders. It Is argued that Major Waller knew as well as any officer that General Smiths eccentric violence of language was not intended to be taken seriously. The belief is growing among army ofi- cers that most of the Administrations g recent acts toward the army are dictated by political ends. and the effect upon the discipline and morale of the army is said to be anything but wholesome.
