course, with new jokes and the greatest
collection of songs any one actress ever
gathered together
For several months Miss Irwin has been
collecting new songs. Many OF these have
been written by Cecilia LOTUS, her close
friend and the author of several ballads
which she has sung with great success.
FRITZ Scheff has hit upon a novel way
of pleasing her family and friends at home
by giving them some idea OF her opera,
"Babette.' and her part in it. She sent
by the steamship Deutschland the other
day a collection of photograph records
bearing selections from the opera.
She was out for a walk one day in Bos-
ton when the familiar strains of one of
Victor HerDert's melodies in "Babette"
reached her ears from big funnel hang
ing in front of a photograph shop. The
selection was announced as rendered by
herself. At first she was indignant and
gave the shopkeeper lively five minutes de-
nouncing the fraud but wound UP by de-
lighting him with an offer to sing the song
herself. Then she bought a machine and
spent the afternoon at her hotel register
ing her solos in the records with snatches
of the dialogue between, so that when the
records are revolved in proper sequence
the photograph gives a very good idea of
the opera and all its principal numbers.
The package was shipped to Miss Scheff s
mother, who for thirteen years has been
the popular prima donna of the opera COM

The Republican National Conven-
ton at Chicago last week was town
affair. The lack of enthusiasm was
painful to every admirer OF the admi n
istration. Attempt after attempt was
made to rouse some noise but to no
avail. Even the noise which followed
the nominating speeches was of a
forced or manufactured ature. The
cause was all too plain The whole
convention from start to finish was
after the most approved style OF the
P esident and his wishes were carried
out in every particular. The platform
was written at the White House ard
approved by Roosevelt and as no one
dared to object the whole program
went through without hitch. Every
thing was cut and dried and there
was nothing TO arouse enthusiasm.
We give elsewhere some interesting
comments upon the platform by the
leading newspapers of New York and
Philadelphia

Deaths.
PATTERSON.

Mr.. Robert Patterson, father OF Mr..
A. II. Patterson and Mr.. John w.
Patterson. of near Martinsburg, died
at his home near Uniontown Pa. few
days ago, at the advanced age of 90
years. Mr.. Patterson was the most
widely known and highly respected
resident of that county, and up UNI il
a short ago was remarkably active and
robust for a man of his age. He was
born in Manor Cunningham, Donegal
county, Ireland. and removed to this
country with his widowed mother at
an early age. He removed to Fayette
county, Pa, in 1S42, and resided there
until he died. He was a prominent
farmer and business man, and at one
time owned many hundred acres of
land in Fayette county.
HART.
Intelligence was received in Win
chester OF the death of Miss Evelyn
M. Hart, a native of Winchester and
a fnrmer well-known resident of Mar
tinsburg, which occurred on Thurs
day in Pasadena, California, where
she had been some months for her
health. Miss Hart had been a sufferer
from pulmonary trouble for some
wears and her death was due to this
cause.
She was out riding alone and was
seized with hemorrhage. When as
sistance reached her she was dead.
Her maid who was her constant com
panion. had just gone on a two weeks
visit, leaving her alone when death
overlook her. The body will be brought
east and will probably be inferred in
Mount Hebron cemetery, Winchester
by the side OF her parents.
Miss Hart was the youngest daugh
ter of the late Maj. Camillus S. Hart,
who was former resident of Witt
chester, and she was born there %
years ago. With the exception of
few years. Miss Hart had lived with
her sister, Mrs. Irvine, wife of DR.. VIM
NJ. Irvine, president of Mercercers-
burg Academy, Mercersburg Pa. Miss
Hart was for time a teacher In the
Women's college, at Frederick, Nd,
and she was possessed of considerable
literary talent. She contributed to sew
eral of the leading magazines and was
well known as a writer of short stories
The remains will be inferred at Mer-
cersburg Pa.

A Fictitious Statement.

The New Dominion, of date June
Goth, contains len gthy editrial in
advocacy of the nomination of Mr.
Joseph Mooreland, of Monongalia coun
ty, as a candidate for Congress, from
the Second district, to oppose Mr..
Dayton, marked copies OF which have
been industriously distributed over
the district. In the course of the afore-
said article, the Hon. Stuart w. Walk
er is mentioned in very compliment
tary terms, as strong candidate, but
alleged factional strife in the ranks of
the Democratic party,in the Eastern
panhandle, and that Mr.. Walker is a
member of one of the factions, is adj
duced as an argument why he should
not be nominated.
We are on the ground and in con
dition to know whereof we speak. yet
we are not aware of any factions in
the party in this section of the State,
and emphatically deny that any such
exist. We do not know where the
Dominion got its information on this
subject, bat we assert without fear of
successful contradiction, that the SEN
timent, In favor OF Mr.. Walker S nom-
ination, is practically unanimous, in
the Eastern panhandle.
We do not deny Mr.. Moreland's right
tocome before the convection, and we
also admit that is perfectly natural
that the Dominion should advocate
the claims OF its fellow countyman, but
we do insist that it is grossly unjust
to use fctitions arguments against
other meritorious gentlemen, who as
pire to the honor of being the stand
ard bearer of the party in this district
especially one who, in the inception
of the canvass when the prospects of
success were not nearly so bright as
they are now, was the first to signify
his willingness to make the fight. For
that reason, and the further one that
Mr.. Walker would make an excep-
tionally strong fight. all over the dis
trict, we submit that he has the pri-
ma facie right to the nomination.
