minister at Cettinje. When his sis

feel the effects Of his quarrel with her.
He lost all his appointments and fell
into disgrace.
In revenge he seems to have
used his influence to inflame his
brother officers against the king and
queen, and when the conspiracy against
them was organized he was the chief
mover. His activity was not confined
to organizing the plot. All accounts Of
the tragedy agree in stating that hesac-.

One Of the most terrible features Of
the bloody drama played out in the
royal palace Of Belgrade, so recently, is
that the chief OF the band Of assassins
was a brother-in-law of the murdered
queen. This person is Col. Maschin,;
whose brother, an engineer, was the
first husband of Queen Draga. ss,.
Col. Maschin seems to have quar-

AS quickly as his apartment at Coney

board of health have prevented any ep-
idemic outbreak therefrom.
"The sanitary results obtained in the
past four years through American con-
troll have been accomplished" says DR..
Munson, despite the naturally insa-
lubrious location of Manila, and it's total
lack of sanitation under the former
sovereignty, which-from the level site
interfering with drainage, the many
foul canals ramifying through the city,
the absence Of any sewerage system and
the existence of an impure and insult
ficient water supply and many old, un-
healthful habitations - have created
sanitary problems of the greatest diff
ficulty. The board of health has there
fore been unable to turn previously ex-
listing methods and conditions to SAM
tary advantage and has found it neces-
sary not only to develop entirely new
plans of improvement, but at the same
time to combat the results of conditions
inherited from the Spanish administra-
ton: The mixed character of the in
habitants, with their prejudices, super
stitions and largely primitive habits
Of life, has also been a constant obsta-
Gle in sanitary work, as evidence of
which 1t may be mentioned that circu-
lars Of the board of health are neces-
sarily>>p4blished in English, Spanish,
Tagalog and Chinese languages"
Attention is invited to the fact that
sthe present annual mortality in Manila,
22.17, is lower than that of many cities
not commonly regarded as unhealthful
situated in the United States and else
where. Washington city is included
in this list, with an annual death rate
per 1000 in 1900 of $3.50. According to
Dr.. Munson the present death rate of
Manila compares not unfavorably with
that of many representative cities
throughout the world which possess
all modern sanitary conveniences. a
long established government and a
highly educated population, such as San
Francisco, Boston and New York, Glas-
gov, Paris, Vienna and Havana.

of hounds, after the hunters had feast
ed on juicy steak.
Mr.. Scot and Mr.. Thockmorton, says
the Denver Post, went to Meeker and en-
gagged the services of John Golf, the
guide of President Roosevelt, when he
hunted in Colorado two years ago last
winter. With Golf and his noted dogs
they hunted the country between the
White and Bear rivers for ten days.
One morning the dogs trailed and cap
tured porcupine, and the sportsmen
spent two hours picking quilts from the
dogs after the fight. j,
On the last day of the hunt the party
followed the dogs on a bear trail for
about two hours, and were about to give
up when they heard a yelping in the
distance, and knew that something was
doing in the bear line. Mr.. Throckmor-
ton was skirting along the edge of a
mesa, and after dragging his horse down
the rock run, he rode a short distance
when he met a big bear hiking" up
the hill. He yelled and the bear turned
and the dogs soon came up and followed
the quarry, finally freeing him. The
bear was in an open IS feet from the
ground, and Mr.. Throckmorton was
eager for shot.
IF you think you can kill him, blaze
away" said Mr.. Golf, ''but if YOU only
wound him he'll drop down and there
will be fight which is liable to make
sausage of some of my dogs, and they
are valuable pack"
Mr.. Throckmorton took careful aim
and fired. The bear, lurched and then
stuck in the fork of the tree. Apparent
ly he was dead one. Mr. Throckmorton
put his hunting knife in his mouth and
climbed up, finding the bear dead. The
branches were cut, and Bruin fell to the
ground, when it was discovered that the
shot had gone through his heart. The
dogs had plenty of fresh meat, and the
successful hunter had the skin of $50
pound cinnamon to bring home as a
trophy. Later in the season the bear
would have weighed 700 pounds.
The other three bears killed on the
trip weighed 4S5, 500 and 200 pounds re-
sDectively.

That part of Governor Whites mes

caused a great deal of comment among
the friends of Shepherd College. VIII
| the State. so rich in natural resources,
strike blow at her most usetul lnstltu-
tions of learning? The alumni OF these
schools may be found in nearly every
county in the State and their influence
has contributed largely TO our educa-
tional advancement and material pros
perity. These ''so-called normal
schools" have educated some OF West
VirgInia's most successful teachers,
lawyers. physicians, ministers and ousi-
ness men.
Have not these schools, established
more than quarter Of a century ago,
proved a good investment for the State
Are they not doing better work today
than ever before, and is not the State
more able to support themE Then why
deprive certain localities OF academic
or normal instruction and favor two
small sections Of the State!
The people of the Eastern Panhandle,
in fact, the people east of the noun
tains. will be deprived OF their
only school of high grade If this
school is not maintained as a State
institution. There is but one high
school, and no academies or colleges of
importance in this part OF the State,
doing academic work. Until county
high schools can be established, which
will require several years. our students
who wish academic training must cross
the mountains over two hundred miles,
or attend schools in other States.
For good reasons the attendance in a
few of the normal schools is not as large
as last year, but our enrolment has
steadily increased for several years and
Shepherd College has bright prospects
for the future. We expect to count In
our enrolment this year students from
every county east of and including
Randolph. We have four students from
Monongalia county and one from Brooke
county. A faculty seldom has the
pleasure of working among more stu
dious and loyal body Of students than
we find here, and the alumni and friends
of the school are enthusiastic in its sup

schools for several years, and believe
that one or two technical normal schools

called normal schools at this time would
be unjust to the people in the sections
of the State where these institutions are

Church Notes.


The series Of sermons preached in
the Presbyterian church in Shepherds
town last week by Rev. a. G. Link,
of Strasburg, Va, attracted good
deal of attention, and the services were
largely attended each night. Mr..
Link is a preacher Of ability and force,
and his earnest, practical sermons
made deep impression upon our peo-
pie. There was much regret that he
could not remain longer. Five new
members were received into the church
on Sunday by the pastor, Rev. DR..
Charles Ghiseliu, who is one of the
best loved ministers who has ever
lived in ShepheIdstown.
Rev. H. G. Haithcox, D. D., of Co.

churches are urged to attend these
services. A congregational meeting
will be held at Uvilla Immediately
after the service.

The Concert Friday Night.

The first of the series OF entertain
ments of the Shepherd College lecture
course was given in the town hall last
Friday evening, when the Ernest Gam
BILE Recital Company made It's ap-
pearance. The concert was one OF
the best ever given here-a refined
and enjoyable entertainment that by
its classic perfection compelled the
instant attention and interest Of the
large audience before whom the pro-
gramme was rendered. All OF the
performers were so talented and ac-
ceptable that each had his advocates
as the star of the occasion. Mr.. Ern-
est Gamble is fine singer, whose rich
voice has been carefully trained, and
nature and art unite in endowing him
splendidly. Both in his classic num-
bers and his ballad singing he was ac-
corded the heartiest applause. Miss
Ednah Dow, the violinist, is delight
full performer on one of the sweetest
of instruments, and her graceful and
artistic performance captured the au-
dience. Mr.. Frederick Morley, the
accomplished pianist, was a faultless
player, and his part of the programme
was brilliantly rendered. The con-
cert as a whole was Of the highest or
der, and appealed to the finer feelings
of the people in marked contrast to SO
many Of the performances that are IN
ficted upon the people of inland towns.
1t was appreciated by the audience
who gave every number the closest
attention.
The success of the lecture course Is
now assured. Sufficient season tick
cts have been sold to insure the fnan-
cial part of it, and the support of our
people is appreciated by those who ar
ranged the course. The next enter
tainment will be a lecture by Hon.
Walter NJ. Chandler on February
18th.
