11OS massachusetts Avenue. after an ILL
ness Of ten days. Mrs. Lane had been
Ill such n short time. that few of her
friends In Washington and other cities
were aware of her condition, and the
news of her death Will undoubtedly
prove severe shock to them. The
cause Of her death was brain fever and
nervous exhaustion, and for a week pre-
ceding her death she was unconscious.

tractive young women of Kentucky, and
was a great belle wherever - resided.

two years ago. owing to the fact that

prosperous and happy, Mrs. Lane con-
tinued to occupy the K Street home un-
til last fall, when she leased and fur
nished the Massachusetts Avenue resi-
dence, only to sublet 1t, and live at La
Normandie through the winter. Later
she took possession OF the house, and
lived there until her death yesterday.

only few weeks, when Mrs. Lane in
formed her friends that 1t had been
broken.

tons action which, without precedent,

the several counties in the district have
been so uniformly kind and generous
to me throughout many years OF politi-
cal association and personal contact
with them, that | will not assume to de-
eide questions of personal fitness in such
counties, as there may be a friendly RI
valry among party friends for the place

other provision for the selection Of the

above reasons, TO name this committee,

if, when this committee will have been
named, may ask you to notify the gen.
tlemen selected and ask them to ar
range an early meeting for the purpose
of organization. Very truly yours,

NOTES FROM NEARBY.

The water supply Of Hagerstown is
shorter than has ever before been
known. Engines on the N. & W.
come to Sbepherdstown to FIJI their
tanks.
The city council of Hagerstown has
rescinded the ordinance requiring the
trolley company to discontinue fur
nishing light and power to private
consumers, it having been shown that
the ordinance would cause loss and
inconvenience to citizens. Now let
the Shepherdstown council go and do
likewise.
Rev. C. c. Wainwright, colored,
who had been pastor of the Freewill
Baptist Church of Charles Town for
81 years, died last Saturday in Ha-
gerstown, where he was visiting. He
was 60 years old. The deceased was
prominent in the denomination to
which he belonged. His body was
taken to Charles Town for burial.
Another company has been formed,
composed principally of Ohio capital
ists, for mining slate in Berkeley coun-
ty, and tract of 60 acres owned by
Frank Bowers in a section Of poor
slate land that has heretofore sold at
S. an acre was sold Monday at 800
an acre and the deed recorded. The
new company announces that it will
be selling a fair No. 2 roofing slate in
less than 60 days.
There have been exciting times over
the prices of provisions in Luray, Va,
this week. One butcher came out with
handbills advertising "All kinds of
steaks, 10 cents per pound, other beef
proportionately low" Another i'm
mediately cut prices to the same fig
ures. Another sent out bills, printed
in red ink, to the effect that his prices
were three pounds for % cents for
steak, and best roast 6 and 7 cents
per pound. Immediately the first
man sent dodgers over town with the
proclamation that beef was six cents,
and that ifone did not have the money
he would give itaway. We wish such
a war would strike Shepherdstown.

Epworth League Conference.

The sixth annual meeting of the
Shepherdstown Circuit League Con-
ference was held at Bethesda last
Thursday. Though the morning was
inclement, a good representation Of
leaguers from the different parts Of
the circuit were present. After devo-
tional services of fifteen minutes, led
by M. M. Skinner, Miss Laura Knode,
in well-chosen and fitting words, well
coined the conference to Bethesda.
w. P. Licklider responded in his usu-
al pleasing manner. The programme
was then taken up, and all seemed to
throw themselves into the spirit Of the
conference from the beginning to end,
only more 80 at the end than at the
beginning, for the interest steadily in
creased during the whole day. The
ladies hospitality committee Of Be-
thesda must be numbered up-to-date.
The tables spread in the grove groaned
beneath their burden, and when re-
lieved some one else groaned. After
a precious season of song and prayer,
the conference adjourned, we believe
with new courage and faith for the
great work to which they have been
called. J. G. THRAsHER.

Through Goshen Pass.
RAPHINE, Va,

RAPHINE, VA,
August IS, 1902.
Mr.. EDIToR:-In the following lines
you will enjoy reading the description
of an ENJOYABLE tour through the noted
Goshen Pass" given in honor Of Miss
Sallie Miller of your town.
On the morning of August 10Th
merry party OF young people, accompa-
MED by the writer, left the quiet little
town OF Raphine on an excursion to and
through the far-famed Goshen Pass. "
After d merry ride in the cool and brac-
ing morning air, we arrived at Cedar
Grove, once the mart of trade of ante
bellum days" where we were joined by
another merry party. We proceeded
on our way, passing that delightful
Spa" the Rockbridge Baths; then on
to Wilson's Sulphur Springs, that
strange spring, throwing forth its
health-giving waters from the midst OF
an island. After refreshing ourselves
with delicious draught OF the spark
ling waters of this old spring, we en-
tered the Pass" The pen of the flu
ent writer cannot describe the plctur-
esque scenery, nor can it portray the
modesty of the tiny fern and the lonely
pine on the mountain top, as it waves
it's sombre boughs to the passing tour
ist, nor can the brush of an artist paint
the beauty Of the little flower as it
whispered to this merry party OF the
grandeur of nature. To appreciate the
grandeur of this Pass" one must see
it. The great Maury said OF it that it
was one Of the grandest, widest, as
well as one OF the most beautiful OF all
the mountain passes in Virginia. AS
the traveller advances, he sees mighty
walls of rock piled one upon another, as
if the Great Architect" intended these
mighty walls to stand as sentinels. On
and on we go, new beauties Of nature
breaking forth at every turn. Again
we see thousands and thousands of tons
Of rocks in massive piles, as If nature
had become tired and had deposited
them. The picture painted there by
the hand of nature is transferred TO the
mind and heart Of the beholder, sub
lime thoughts take possession Of the
mind. and we raise our hearts to Him,
the Creator and Builder OF these mighty
walls. Is it possible for our minds to
go back to the time when the waters OF
North River first began the work of ero-
sion, wearing its way through this bull
wark of earth and stone? II is a grand
sight to see the waters rushing along,
plunging in cascades, and still rush on
to join the water of the James at BAL
cony Falls" After passing on through
this noted Pass" the party partook
of sumptuous dinner, near a sparkling
spring, and as the pleasant hours of the
evening passed swiftly by, in shady
nook beside the brook" the song of
"Homeward Bound" came to our minds,
and with the silvery beams of the moon
as our companion we returned, delight
ed with our trip through Goshen Pass"

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is making
trip through New England, and in his
public speeches devotes himself al
most entirely to the question of trusts
and great commercial corporations.
He says he is in favor of government
regulation of these vast aggregations
Of capital, and seems honestly to de-
sire 10 restrict them. He still sticks
to his idea that publicity of their op-
erations will be effective in restraining
them, and proposes to be very con-
sentative and cautious in efforts to
control or regulate them.
We give the President credit for all
sincerity in his expressions about the
trusts, but we do not have great hope
that be will accomplish much. His
party is too firmly bound to the very
principles that enables them to -four
ish, and the big men Of the party are
too closely identified personally with
the trusts and making too much out
of them, to permit any reasonable hope
that this administration will ever do
anything against them. The people
for the past several years have been
crying out against trusts, yet Con-
gress at its recent session failed to
put on the statute books one line seek
ing to regulate them. And all that
the administration has done has been
to get out one forlorn injunction
against the Meat Trust that was ride
ulously ineffective and long ago got
lost. y
1t will take a Democratic admins
tration to bring the trusts to book
and even then it will be big job.
