,ure From Tannhauser.
The fifth and last Of the Historical
Lecture Recit,s hv the faculty Of
he school of Music at Commence
mcnt Hall Tuesday was nothing
les than bl,Iliant triumph for the
artists who participated. The audi
ence nearly flied The hall. Every
pumbtr was listened to with rapt
attention and the applause was Of
the spontaneous, persistent kind
that indicates the genuine pleasure
felt at an excellent production.
Dean Wrightson in opening the
program made some very important
announcements. To the audience,
the most important one was, that
Mr.. Lawrence and Mr.. Kaspar would
return to Morgantown next summer
This came as surprise, and was
greeted with applause Dean Wright
son said that an effort would be
made TO get Richard Strauss and
his orchestra here fer one OF the
four faculty concerts during the
coming year. This was a big under
taking, but the attempt would be
made nevertheless. The course, ex-
elusive Of Strauss, would cost over
$500, and he hoped that when the
season tickets were placed on sale at
$3.50 each. the public would buy
literally.
For the first time during the sum
mer recitals, an American composer
was introduced. Mr. Lawrence
played two selections from Edward
MacDowell, the witches Dance"
and the "Shadow Dance" Both were
greatly enjoyed by the audience, the
latter especially receiving ringing
applause.
Mr.. Anton Kaspar exceeded all his
former achievements here with his
magnificent rendition Of "Gypsy Airs,
by Sarasati. although the rule was mo
encores," the applause was SO gen.
eral and persistent that an exception
was made In this instance, and Mr.
Kaspar repeated the last air His
playing was a revelyt ion OF what can
be done with violin, even to those
who bold that instrument as their
favorite.
Dean Wrightson sang dreams"
aud "Anathema" from Eliland, by
Alexander Won Fielltz and the Prologue
from Leoncavallo's "Pa0liacci." His
singing OF the old ballad, when the
Bloom is on the Rye" and "Ob, that
we two we're MayiDg," was exception
ally fine. The latter, especially, show
ed the Deans voice and powers at
their best. He sang the old song with
fine spirit, and was roundly applauded.
Mr.. Lawrence closed the program
most fIttingly by rendering the grand
overture from Tannhauser, on the
pipe organ.

Growth OF Our Railroads,

From little wooden track over which
the first locomotive had its trial in 1929
the railroad systems OF the United States
have grown to such an extent that the
tracks if placed together would extend
eight times around the world. There is
also wonderful growth behind the cell
ebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t was first presented over fifty years
ago. and during those years has made
such an upequalled record of cures that
to-day finds it foremost IN its class as a
reliable family medicine. 1t will cure

Chas. Miles Cussed him.

The case of the city against Cbas.
Miles motorman, was heard by Mayor
McGrew Wednesday evening. The
motorman was arrested on warrant
sworn out by August Weller, In which
it was charged that Miles had pro.
fanely cursed and swore, and applied
opprobrious epithets TO the said
Weller. The details were given in The
NEW DOMINION Tuesday.
Mayor McGrew heard the evidences
and this morning rendered his deci'
sion dismissing the suit. The evidenct
was not sufficient to sustain the
charge. Miles testified that he had
not used an oath since last March.

The STAR Line
New Road Of B. & o. Has Been
So Named

I'll ACCUBut Vi inc AltJtuue at NuICu IL
Passes Through This COunty-Road
Will be Used as Main Trunk Line OF
the Great System from Wheeling
Eastward.
That the b. IL O. is in earnest in
regard to the short line from Wheel
ing to Cumberland may be learned
from facts which have come to the
surface in this and other counties
recently. Many people have ex-
pressed doubts as to the route being
constructed.
Those who are conversant with
the movements of the company have
no doubt that the line will be built
and that very soon.
Final locations of the road have
been made and the route has been
selected. Rev. M. 0. Wilson OF
Cheat Haven is in the county. He
does not talk for publication but 1t
is learned from reliable sources that
he is here to buy rights of way for
the road.
That it is to be through trunk
line may be seen, when it is stated
that the right of way is to be 100
feet wide instead OF GO feet as usual
when the line is not of the first
class. This will give the road room
for double tracks and for all passing
sidings which may be needed.
After the right of way is purchas-
ed there will be no need in the future
to get additional room.
The route from here to Confluence
passes from point near West Run
through the farm of the late Thom-
as Haldeman and thence by way of
Easton 70 a point near Squirrel Rock
where it crosses Cheat River over a
very high bridge. From there it
goes by direct line to Confluence.
The bridge over the Monongahela
below town will also be very high
one.
The road runs from here west
ward to point near Cameron and
then into Wheeling. From its
elevated appearance it. has beer
dubbed the "Star Line"
AS stated in this paper heretofore
the road will cut off about sixty
miles in the distance between Wheel
ing and Cumberland. This is NJ
small item when it is known thai
the present route is but 200 miles il
length. 1t will also eliminate man,
OF the heavy grades and SHARP
curves of the old route.
The road will be used for al
through business from east an(
west which does not have to go by
way of Plttsbure.

The report is in circulation that
many neighbors of Mrs. Coleman Shu-
man, of McCurdysvlile, who was found
dead and reported as a suicide Satur-
day, believe that she was murdered
and tsat she did not fire the fatal shot
herself. DR.. LeBlond, who examined
the remains stated that he did not
see how the woman could have fired
the shot herself, as her scalp around
the bullet hole was not IL the least
powder burnt.
Judge Google, who held the coro-
ner's inquest, thinks that the suicide
theory is the correct one. 1t is rumor-

her people telling them that she was
