Rev. Frank Dlxon,s Lecture.

Rev. Frank Dixon, of Di1ondale,
Va, delivered the third of the series
of lectures IN the Shepherd College
course last Friday night, in the pres
ence of large and intelligent audi
ence. 1t was splendid lecture, and
everybody was delighted with it. Mr.
Di1on's subject was Threats OF So
ciahsm." He introduced his theme
very gracefully, and then for two
hours held the undivided attention of
his audience by the eloquent and ear
nest way in which he presented his or
iginal and striking views. His snee-
dotes were bright and humorous, his
illustrations attractive, and altogether
he pleased and edited the people. The
lecture could not but do good to those
who heard it-indeed it must be help
full to the community generally. He
advocates gospel of bOpefulness and
tolerance, making the best of every
thing, looking on the bright side, and
urged broadnes, of view and deprecated
narrowness of action so convincingly
that his hearers were Involuntary
lifted to a higher plane. Mr.. Dixon
is to be congratulated on having done
more than entertain and please an au-
dlence-be elevated and instructed,
he gave brighter views of life, and
made one see more of the beautiful
and good and less of the evil in the
world. Shepherdstown folks will re-
member his lecture with pleasure and
profit.

Meeting of the Board of Regents.

A meeting of the Board Of Regents
of the State Normal Schools was held
at Shepherd College in Shepherds
town last Thursday and Friday.
Those present were President Thcs. G.
Miller, Secretary VIM. NJ. Straus, Ira
Z. Robinson, E. L. Dunn and H. L.
Snyder. The board inspected the
new college building, and they all ex-
pressed the utmost satisfaction with it,
IN every respect. An order was passed
to at once advertise for bids for the
heating, plumbing and electric light
wiring and the board will meet in
Shepherdstown on April 10th to re-
ceive bids and award the contracts.
The action of the Governor in vetoing
an item of $4,000 for the completion
of the building gave the board a good
deal of anxiety, and as it is thought the
item was rejected through misappre-
hension, it is hoped that arrangements
may be made By which the amount
can be provided Tor IN another way.
A committee was appointed to confer
with the Governor and the Board OF
Public Works in regard to the matter.
1t is the desire of the regents to push
the building to completion as soon as
possible. 1t is hoped to have the au-
ditorium ready by June and the en-
tire building finished by next Septem-
Der, when the next school year begins.
The board is earnest in its efforts to
advance the welfare of Shepherd Col
lege, and our school will have every
consideration from the members.
Vacancies in the faculties of Mar
shall College, the Fairmont school and
the Chenille school were filled, and
other routine business was transacted.

In the Railroad World.

A considerable number of land
owners in the vicinity of Shepherds
town have been paid the money al.
lowed them by the B. & o. Railroad
Company as damages fol- the construc-
ton of the new line through this Sec
ton. Last Thursday Forrest " Brown,
the companys attorney, paid out near
ly $4,000 ct Charles Town to those
who were ready to sign up the deeds,
and as a consequence there's money
afoat in this neighborhOOd. In ad-
dition to the settlements named in last
week REGISTER, the following awards
have been made between Shepherds
town and Harpers Ferry:
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1903-03-19

J.E. Thropp, owner of the Virginia
Ore Bank property near Bakerton, has
bought from Jacob S. Moler eight
acres of land, near the river, for which
he paid 5000 an acre cash. He will
construct a settling pond on the tract,
into which will be run the water from
the ore washer. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Harper's Ferry Pulp
Company brought suit against Mr.
Thropp in the United States Court to
restrain him from running the muddy
water from the ore bank into the Po-
tomac river. The case was decided
against Mr.. Thropp finally, and he
will now build settling pond. The
water that is made so muddy from the
washing of the ore will be run into
this pool instead of into the river, and
the damage to the pulp mill avoided.
We understand that work will be
pushed with renewed vigor at the ore
bank, and large force Of men will be
employed.
When two hearts become so loving
that they beat as one in perfect unison,
nor time nor space shall be permitted
to Illustrate the consummation of mat
rimonial bliss. Therefore Miss Fife
Lee Mills, of Shepherdstown, and Mr..
Edward Lee Boyd, of Myerstown, this
county, were not to be restrained
When prospective cOnjugal felicity
shed its rosy light upon them. The
divine atIlatus struck them simulta-
neously last Wednesday, and without
waiting for trains or wheeled vehicles
they struck out for Charles Town, a
walk of ten miles in such mutually
good company being simply trife.
Arrived at Charles Town, license
was procured, and soon afterward, in
the presence of a score of witnesses at
the Carter House, Rev. j. H. Wolff
pronounced them man and wife. Hap,
pier than ever, they walked back home
and loves fulfllment makes life one
grand, sweet song. Incidentally, the
family of Mr.. E. Hayward Bowly has
lost pretty good cook.

A CRYING ABUSE
Is to Be Corrected in Administration
of New York Custom House.

New York. July 2S.-The commission
appointed by President Roosevelt some
time ago to examine into affairs in the
custom house at this port has nearly
completed its labors and it is said
report will be made to the secretary of
the treasury probably within a week
Among the many abuses that an
effort will be made to correct is the
long swing around the circle taken in
the regular course of examination into
complaints At present, in the first
place. the complaint is referred to the
secretary of the treasury. If it con-
Germs differentiation it is referred by
the secretary to the assistant secretary
of the treasury having charge of Gus
toms. He in turn refers it to the SUI
pervising special agent. who passes it
along to the agent in charge, from
which it goes to the gent, then to the
appraiser, who passes it over to the
man who originally makes the exami-
nation
Thus complaint after passing all
around this CIRCLE, comes back to the
man who made the original examina
ton. and he is asked to pass judgment
upon himself.
