West Point Lost Its Glamour for
Wyndmoor Boy.

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-Diligent
investigation last evening failed to
elicit either from the Campbells or the
Schaffers official confirmation OF the
story that young John NJ. Campbell had
thrust aside an opportunity of winning
military glory for love of pretty Ethel
Schaffer.
For reasons best known to themselves
the fathers Of the pair seemed loath to
be interviewed on the subject. All of
the facts appeared to be in possession Of
the neighbors, who were not so reticent.
Campbell is a son of John F. Camp

Sohaffer. and is now, according to the
best information obtainable in Wynd-
moor, Mrs. Campbell. is a daughter of
William Schaffer, a clerk in the Office of
the comptroller of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway.
Campbell is eighteen years old and
Mrs. Campbell has attained the same
mature age.
The Campbells and the Schaffers live a
square apart. Congressman Wanger, OF
Montgomery county, not long ago OBJ

The enthusiasm Of Simon Wolf was so
great that he pawned his evening suit
TO help defray the expenses, at least
that Is what be said And he added, in
a more serious vein, that German sing
ers had met with success after forty
years hard struggle. He said their
music portrayed those civic virtues for
which all things German and American
stood at home and abroad.
In all these addresses the speakers
were loud in their praise Of Henry
Xander, who led the singers to victory.
At the conclusion of the speechmaking
he was presented with a number of
icral gifts from the German societies
and the citizens. Henry Pfster. formerly
superintendent OF the Conservatives al
the White House, presented him with a
magnificent floral design, and the women
IF the United Singers invested him with
a wreath. As a final recognition Of his
services the crowd gave him "ein must,

Victory Given to Henry
Xander.

II was a glorious welcome that Wash

singers last night on their home coming
from Baltimore, the scene of victory.
Hilarious Teuton pride and cordial
American enthusiasm were intermingled
in the general rejoicing The combina-
ton made the returning singers feel
like conuuering heroes fresh from the
field OF battle.
The secret of the hearty reception
was the notable victory of the United
Singers Of Washington in winning the
first prize in the intercity contest at
the Baltimore saengerfest The trophy
was a double-life size bronze bust Of
Handel.
AS soon as the news OF their success
reached here arrangements were made
hastily for the celebration. The Com
missioners, Chief Of Police Sylvester.
and the Hon. Simon Wolf accepted in
vitations to speak. and the Commits
sioners, in the course Of their addresses,
promised to urge an appropriation for
a pedestal for the bust and have it
placed in front of the Carnegie Library.
Welcomed With Cheers.
With round after round % cheers the
singers were greeted as they stepped
from the 1850 Baltimore express at the
Baltimore and Ohio station. Having
been informed of the greeting, the vic

A procession was quickly formed, with
the full Marine Band at the head. Next
in line were Officers Of the United

Valuable Read to Pine Bluff

A new epoch has been marked in
the history of Sheridan and Grant
county by the completion of the Pine
Bluff and Western railway to that
place on the 10th inst. Citizens of that
vicinity are jubilant over the fact that
henceforth they will not be shut off
from the outside world. A telephone
line will be completed to that place
within few days. There are sew
eral camps located between Sheridan
and Benton engaged in construction
work of the Pine Bluff and Western.
The line was to have been completed
to Benton by March I, but owing to an
unexpected amount of rain for the
past few months, it is hardly probable
that it will be finished by that time
