WILL BE RE-ORGANIZED.

Choral Society Will Meet Next Monday
Night-What 1t Has Accomplished
Should Receive Enthusiastic Sup.
port.
The Choral Society will resume
its work and be re-organized, on
Monday evening next, October 9Th,
at eight O'Clock in Commencement
Hall.
This Society has done more toward
appealing to the musical tastes, and
cultlvating desire for higher clas-
steal music, than any other thing
that we have ever had in Morgan
town. 1t is by no means an easy
task, TO keep up the enthusiasm of
one hundred and fifty singers, as
was shown possible last year.
rhe Faculty Concerts owe their
existence to the assistance and
energy of the members ofthe Choral
Society, so there are two classes of
people that should be interested in
it's organization.
First: The citizens of our town
who appreciate good music and who
desire to assist in bringing here the
artists of culture that came last year.
There is no need to repeat the names
of the artists that have been engaged
fol- this years Faculty Concerts.
This paper has enthusiastically
commented on these facts before.
The other class of people who
should become interested in the re-
organization of the Choral Society
are the singers of our city and the
students who are blessed with good
voices. Any body possessing a good
voice can belong to the Choral Soci-
ETY. and will be cordially welcomed
at the meeting ON Monday night.
Any registered student of the Uni
versity can belong to the Society
without extra charge. Any citizen,
not registered student, is only
asked to pay the registration fee of
$500, in return for which they re-
ceive all the benefits of the Society,
the excellent training in the highest
class of music, which alone, is worth
considerable.
Last year the Choral Society did
excellent work. Let us move step
forward this year and take up the
work enthusiastically and give our
loyal support to those who are work
ing SO strenuously to make success
of this popular branch of the Uni
varsity work

; The Boston Herald, independent
politically, thinks the best name
with which the Democrats could
conjure next year is that of Richard
Olney. "Let us assume" it says.
that the two parties respectively
presented, the one Theodore Roose-
welt, the other Richard Olnev.
Leaving politics aside, is there any
doubt in the minds of thoughtful
and rejecting men as to which OF the
two is the better fitted for the office?
Mr. Olney is man of mature mind,
of large experience in connection
with men and courts, who has had
for generation the fullest confidenc
of those with whom he has been as
ISOLATED, who has been tested in
connection with two of the most
important offices of the governmen MT
and who has come out of the trial
with distinguished success and the
most eminent reputation. Nobody
questions any OF the statements we
have made in the above sentence,
and admitting them 30 be true and
leaving politics aside, here is an
ideal character tor the presidency
of the United States Discussion
OF candidates is a sort of taking ac-
count of stock of material, and it
will be helpful when the party in
convention assembled IS ready to
decide upon the best that is availa-
Bile.

IN A BAD FIX.
County Courts up Against the
Real Thing.
The Ellington Road has Put them to
the Bad They will Sue the Govern
ment for Damages In Building Lock
IL so that the Old Road has Been
Closed.


Commissioner Harner WAS asked
this morning about The road from
Clinton district into inwn from Uf
fington lie said that damage
suit has been brought against the
government for destroying the old
road at lock IL and that pending the
settlement Of this there would be
nothing done about the road
The commissioners are up against
the real thing in this connection.
They have had surveys made and dc
not know exactly what to do about
it. They may decide to raise the
old road and build around the lock
out OF the reach of the river.
1t has been suggested that they
bridge the river and come down on
the west side but they think that
this would be impracticabie. The
roads on the west side are in an
impossible condition for a greater
part of every winter.
There is no place for a road on
the hill above the railroad and the
cost of building one along that way
will be enormous.
For the present people of that sec
ton must take a long detour which
takes them about two miles out OF
their way in coming to town.
There seems to he no remedy at
present hut the court will >ao its
uest to solve the problem when it
gets together on Monday.
Mr.. Harner will present his resig
nation al the meeting which begins
on Monday morning.

Attempts to get Away did not Dam
per Their Arder-Coupie have Re-
turned Home.
Love laughs at lock smiths, lock
ups and other discouragements in
the form Of those who oppose the
course of the tender passion. This
liz exemplified in the case OF Edward
Bower and Miss Nina Mccormick
who state that they have finally
eluded all efforts OF their relatives
and have been united in marriage.
They went to Oakland where the
knot was tied and now back at home
1t will be remembered that some
time ago a plan for an elopement
was spoiled by the father of the
young man. He locked the lad up
and refused to let him 90 out of the
house. This was thought to have
diverted the flow of his thoughts.
Within the last few days it was
discovered that the couple we're bent
on another fight to hymen's altar.
The brother of the girl had an argu-
pent with Edward which prevented
his elopement at that stage of the
game.
However the couple got to the
depot to take the six o'clock tram
out Of town Mrs. Mccormick went
down and captured the girl and took
her home. :
Nothing daunted the couple hied
to livery stable and procuring
rid drove to Fairmont where they
took train. Then at Oakland they
were married and came home for
parental forgiveness Whether this
has been granted is not vouch safed
by Ed who gave the story to this
paper in response to questions re-
gardiDg it.

vote.
He says that the kick is on a grade

would promise TO locate the shops
there and to make Grafton the end OF

for whatever they wanted. They de-
cllned to make any promises.
The b. & 0. made the statement

DEWEY TO COMMAND
FLEET IN CARIBBEAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.--Now that it
has been definitely settled that Admiral
Dewey and Rear Admiral Henry G. lay
lor, chief of the bureau of navigation. will
attend the maneuvers in the Caribbean,
the officers and men of the fleet destined
to take part know that they have their
work cut out for them, for both officers
are the opposite of drawing room sailors.
Owing to the important naval matters
before congress, Rear Admiral Taylor can
not leave for the south until the last Of
january. Indeed, the plan now consid-
cred is to have him go south in the May
flower in February, after the search prob
lem has been concluded.
At this time the entire feet will as
semble off Guantanamo fer extensive tao
tical drills and maneuvers. During this
time Admiral Dewey will command per-
sonally Following this part of the pro
gram the Maytlower will accompany the
fleet to Pensacola, Fla, off which port the
target practice will be held.
The rules for the maneuvers have been
prepared by the general board of the
navy, but the important details are known
to but three men: Rear Admiral Taylor,
Captain John Pillsbury, assistant chief
Of the bureau of navigation, and Captain
William Swift.
1t is generally understood that Culebra
will be the starting point for the attack
ing and defending squadrons in the search
problem, and that the finish of the prob
lem will be somewhere off Guantanamo,
which has been coded by Cuba as a coal
ing station
