When, after many trying days,
With waning hopes and shattered will,
We lift our weary heads and gaze.
And like the far-off hill that through
The softening haze shows gentle slopes
The clouds oft hide il from his view
That in the darkened valley gropes;
The road winds much in leading to

A "Reminiscences of the War.

Major and Mrs. Joseph Ashbrook,
of Philadelphia, visited the battlefield
at the cement mill below Shepherds
town last week, and spent some time
looking over the cliffs and the old
ford and dam at that place. Major
Ashbrook was a member of the Corn
Exchange Regiment, which had such
terrible experience on the cement
mill cliffs IN 1862. He was wounded
while scrambling down the bluff and
rolled down 80 feet, but regaining his
feet, he went to the dam, where he
received another bullet wound. He
then made his way to Blackford z
barn, and thence to Sharpsburg. His
father came from Philadelphia to take
the body of his son home, as he sup
posed after receiving the message
that he was dead. Mayberry Beeler
hauled the two to Hagerstown, which
trip Mr.. Beeler and Major Ashbrook
remembered well. He called on Mr..
Beeler at his home opposite Shep-
herdstown last week, and the two
were glad to see each other again.
After being away from his regiment
five months Major Ashbrook returned
and happened to be in Sharpsburg
about year afterward with a num-
Der Of convalescent soldiers on the
way to the front, and called on Mr..
Beeler to get permission to sleep in
his barn, but Mr.. Beeler said, mo,
you cant sleep in the barn, but you
can sleep in the house." Mr.. Ash
brook preferred the barn, as there
were a number Of them. The old
Beeler barn stood just in the rear OF
the NJ. Z. church, and during the
night some loud rapping was heard
at the door for admission. Mr.. Ash
brook, supposing they were soldiers,
opened the door to admit them, bat
they said they were going to burn
the barn, as the owner was a Rebel
sympathizer. Mr.. Ashbrook, feeling
grateful for the kindness Mr.. Beeler
had done him, talked them out of it.

After making two unsuccessful at
tempts to secure a franchise from Lu-
ray to erect telephone poles on its
streets, the Bell Telephone Company
has large force Of men at work re-
moving its poles from Page county.
Surprising it would experience no dit
fculty in securing the franchise, the
company strewed its poles almost the
entire distance from Front Royal to
Luray. Fear that the Bell Telephone
would force the local companies from
the field is the reason given by the
Luray council for refusing to grant the
franchise.

The New College Building Occupied.

Shepherd College moved into the
handsome new building last Monday
and is now comfortably established in
what is hoped is its permanent home.
Faculty and students alike were re-
joiced to get into the building, after
three years in the cramped quarters Of
the old structure which they have &C.
cupied since the destruction by fire Of
the former college building.
The last of the new furniture was
received and put in place last week,
the necessary things from the old rooms
taken to the new, a final cleaning CIV
en- the waiting home, and then an
nouncement was made that the school
would move. Bright and early Mon
day morning the happy students and
the interested teachers and friends
were busy preparing to change quar-
tiers, and when all was ready, with the
band playing gaily and flags hutterlng,
the cadet corps, the school and the
officials connected with it marched to
the new home and entered in aud took
possession with enthusiastic cheers and
college yells. There was great rejoic-
ing over the happy event.
After the students had been assign
ed seats and few necessary prelimi-
nary matters had been attended to,
the school and number of visitors
assembled in the auditorium. Rev.
DR.. H. G. Haithcox, at the request Of
Principal Knutti, conducted the de-
votional exercises. Geo. NJ. Beltz-
hoover, Esq, who has been officially
connected with Shepherd College for
thirty years, made happy speech
appropriate to the occasion, and the
resident Regent, H. L. Snyder, also
made brief address, speaking of the
history of the building and commend
ing it to the care and safe keeping OF
those who are to occupy it. Miss
Winifred South, Of Morgantown, spoke
very entertainingly, and brief remarks
were made by other visitors who were
present.
The new building for Shepherd Col
lege is decidedly the handsomest and
best arranged of the normal schools
of the State-indeed there are few
school buildings in West Virginia OF
in this section that can be classed with
it. Built Of buff brick and Ohio stone,
after the Corinthian style of archi-
lecture, with beautiful and imposing
portico in the front and handsome
entrances at each end, it impresses
with its classic elegance all who see it.
The arrangement Of the interior is as
convenient and satisfactory as could
be desired, and there seems to be nc
fault in it. 1t is heated by hot water
has a fine system Of plumbing, Is light
ed with electricity, and has every
convenience and comfort. Each room
is well lighted. A considerable guam
tity of new furniture of latest design
and best quality has been installed
and altogether the building and its
equipment and furnishings are uP-to-
date. Some additional furniture is
needed, but it is hoped that this may
be provided for by the next Legisla-
ture.
The new building is to be dedicated
on June 9th with proper ceremonies
when we will give full description
of it, with interesting facts concerning
its history.
We understand that the school peo'
pie will shortly give reception to the
public, when the new building will be
thrown wide open for inspection.

Baseball.

Baseball.
A game of baseball was played here
on Saturday last between the Shop
herdstown and Summit Point teams.
The home team was very much elated
over their initial game, the score being
Shepherdstown 9, Summit Point 4.
Bonham and Davis composed the bat
terry for the visitors, and Miller and
Rogers were the battery for Shop
herdstown. Bonham pitched a good
game, but the support given him was
poor. Miller and Rogers did effective
work, which was supplemented by
good work in the field. Weaver did
some clever playing, making six catch
er of fly balls and no errors. The
college team will play at st. James on
Saturday. Several games will be
played on the home grounds in the
near future.

Wn.:d Melt Silver Dollars.

Tho secretary of the treasury. in his
annual report, says: November l.
1904, the amount Of bullion in the
treasury purchased under the act OF
July IA, 1900. was 2.742,5S9.T fine
ounces, which has a coming value in
subsidiary money of $3.7s1. .3sO24.
THE coinage OF subsidiary coin dur
ing the last five fiscal years was $780,
SOC. O.049.35.
From this it is apparent that steps
must soon be taken to provide bullion
for the subsidiary coinage.
In this connection it may be pointed
out that no provision now exists for
the recoinage OF standard silver dollars
which by natural wear have become
unfit for circulation. Many such are
now in the treasury. They can not be
recoined into dollars without loss, and
there is no authority to reimburse such
loss. AS the subsidiary coins are of
lighter proportionate weight than the
standard silver dollars. these abraded
and uncurrent coins might be recoined
into subsidiary silver coin without loss.
The small contraction. in the circula-
ton of dollars would be Offset by the
increase In the subsidiary coin, and the
net result Of the operation would leave
the total money circulation unchanged.
l recommend that the secretary of the
treasury be given authority for such
recOinage"
