Business at the post-offiee has in
creased tremendously in the last
year. The annual reports have just
been made and they show that the
business Of the office now amounts
TO SIG, 565.64 for the year. This Is
an increase over the business done
last year of So, SS640 The increase
is nearly 40 per cent. of the total
business done five years ago when
postmaster J p. Fitch took charge.
At that time the amount of bust
ness done in the office during the
entire year was about $4,000 The
increase for the past year is nearly
double what it has been for any
previous year and as a result of it
the postmaster salary will be in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year.
Or. j. J. Hail. the assistant post
master was asked about the volume
of business done and he gave the
above facts to New DOMINION man.
He said that the money order bust,
ness amounted to over 5000, 600 dur
ing the past year.
About II 900 people are served
from the local post office exclusive
OF those who get their mail over the
rural delivery. Nearly two thousand
more are served in this manner.
Four deliveries are made in the
business section of town and those
living in the outskirts get two de-
llveries day while other residence
sections get three deliveries each
day. This is as often as people in
much larger towns are served by
carriers.
During the past year there has
been one additional route establish
ed. This is the one that William
II. Courtney has under his charge.
The clerks have received an IN.
crease of 500 in pay which goes
into effect on July first. This affects
ali who have been on the force for
more than one year.
Two more clerks and one carrier
are needed. These will be appointed
after the examination which is to be
held n May 2nd under civil service
rules. Information about the ex-
animation may be obtained by those
who are interested on inquiry at the
post. office
Many people hinder the post
office force II failing to have their
correspondents place their proper
street addresses on mail sent here
If this were done in every instance
the delivery of mail would be great
ly facilitated Special attention is
called to this fact.
Another fruitful source of delay
is the fact that many people persist
in mailing letters and packages in
she laundry boxes over town. Mil
ieF's Laundry has number Of boxes

CONGREGATIONAL MEETING.
Presbyterians Get Together on
Wednesday Night.


Its Entire Indebtedness Incurred by
Reason of the New Building Salary
for Pastor Raised Large Increase in
Membership Shown Social Hour
Enjoyed.
The Presbyterian congregation has
money enough TO pay off the entire
debt of the church. This amounts to
about 81, 600. The reports made at
the congregational meeting held last
night showed this TO be the case, and
some money will be left in the treas
ury after the debt is paid.
No arrangements in connection with
the payment were made last night,
but the payment viii be made in the
next few DAYS, and the church will
then be fully paid for. Ii was built
six years ago at cost OF less than
$50, 000 1t would take a great deal
more to build such a house at the
present time at the prices which must
be paid for labor and material
ASIDE from the material prosperity
Of the church in a money sense, it has
prospered greatly 10 other directions
during the year. Nearly one hundred
new members were added to the roll,
and the membership is now in excess
of three hundred.
Out of appreciation Of the efforts
of DR.. A. NJ. Buchanan, the pastor, it
was unanimously decided to increase
his salary 5000 year. This is very
much appreciated by him, and is a
substantial recognition of his worth.
He has been with the church for
years, and has proven TO be most sue
cessful in every department Of the
church work.
Following the business meeting a
social hour was passed in which re-
freshments were served and a general
good time enjoyed by the members
and their friends. The affair was
thoroughly delightful to all. The
new year is entered with every indlca-
tion of continued success and prosper
ity.
Morgantown has right to be proud
of her churches, which have kept pace
with the development in every
avenue of the towns activity, and
they are proving to be factor of
untold good in the upbuilding Of the
city. None of them has taken higher
rank than the Presbyterian church,
and its friends are very much pleased
and encouraged over the record which
it is making up.

\ MEDICAL COLLEGE
Is Now Affiliated with West Virginia
University--An Important Step.

For some time past a movement has been
on foot to affiliate the College Of Physicians
and Surgeons at Baltimore with West yir-
ginia University in suck a way that the med
ical college shall become a part Of the Uni
versity. At the last meeting of the Tniyer-
sity Board Of Regents plan Of afifliation
was effected
The laboratory courses in medicine for
West Virginia students viii be done in Nor
gautown and the clinical work will be done
in Baltimore. In other words, the work of
| the first and second years in medicine will be
done at Morgantown and the work of the
third and fourth years at Baltimore
This gives to West Virginia the advantages
of a fully equipped medical college with
very light expense to the medical student
for the first two years.
The clinical facilities of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons are not exeelled in
Baltimore, being located in the heart Of the
city with hospital of five hundred beds. It
has the accident work of all the railroads
and the electric railways in Baltimore.
which furnish very large amount of surgi-
cal material.
Particulars of this important new step in
the progress of the University may be had
upon application to the President.

DIR. Powers Don't Need
Minneapolis Times,


Minneapolis Times,
Here is man who would delight
especially that large class of who, since
the times of DR.. Johnson and Charles
Lamb, have deprecated the theatre
and asserted that acting is suhordinat-
ed TO spectacle, and that the bare
stages of Shakespeare day were bet
ter. Ia the unexcelled imper sona-
tious OF Mr.. Powers there is no map
propriate scenery or costuming to di-
vert attention from the thought and
soul of dramatic representation. Nor
need play goers expect to miss any of
the stage accessories which ordinarily
seem essential to dramatic effect. Mr..
Powers has so mastered the parts be
takes, has so grasped the spirit and
varied characteristics Of these parts,
as to body them forth completely and
make one see them in his face and
hear them in his voice He interprets
the humor of Dickens, or the wit, or
an epigram of Sheridan with delicate
appreciation and fine sympathy which
canEot fail to impress people who
have the slightest love for the pietur-
esque In literature and life.

people any of the valuable property

LARGE DRILL GROUNDS

Among Memberships TO Recommends
tiOn of Board.

There is much speculation among
the members of the West Virginia
Nat ional Guard and those indirectly
interested about the probable result OF
the recommendation OF the board Sc
lected to suggest a suitable drilling
ground for the troops of West Vir-
ginia, and several surrounding states.
One or the sites recommended was
Mount Gretna, the state drill grounds
for the Pennsylvania troops. Chick
amauga Park was another. The war
department has taken no decisive
steps as yet, but it is expected that it
will soon be announced what the de-
cision is regarding drill grounds. AT
any rate it is certain that the troops
of several states will hold joint en-
campment once a year and be drilled
under regular army regulations.
