To Get More Pay.


1t is quite likely that the rural
mail carriers will have their pay in
creased from 5000 year to 1920 a
year, a. the House of Representatives
has passed the following as part Of
the Postofice appropriation bill:
ION and after July l, 1904, letter car
riers of the rural free-delivery service
shall receive a salary not exceeding Sl2O
per annum, and no other further allow
ance or salary shall be made TO said
carriers: and on and after said date
said carriers shall not solicit business or
receive orders of any kind for any per
son, firm or other corporation, and shall
not. during their hours of employment,
carry any merchandise for hire pro-
yided. that said carriers may carry
merchandise for and upon request OF
patrons residing upon their respective
routes, whenever the same shall not IN
terfere with the proper discharge OF
their official duties, and under such
regulations as the Postmaster-General
may prescribe.
The Senate will undoubtedly con-
cur and the increase will be allowed
for the next fiscal year. The increase
ought to be made, for the rural mail
carriers are kept busy all day and
have to keep up team besides.

Two Youthful Literary Persons.

The REGISTER has the pleasure of
presenting to its readers this week
productions from two OF its youthful
literary friends. The first is an orig
inal poem by Miss Dorothea Dan
bridge, aged eight years. 1t Is astOl-
lows:
The soldier stood on the battlefield
And looked at the dying men;
He turned his thoughts to his own true
love,
And then to the battle again.
But now the winds may howl,
And the wolves may prowl,
And the shepherds may call their
sheep
The lion with his yellow name,
May roar above the soldier slain,
But cannot wake his sleep.
Master Withrow Legge, the youth
full son of Mr. and Mrs J F Legge,
is the author of the following compo-
sition on Tennyson
TENNYsoN.
He had a beautiful country house.
Tennyson is a very great man.
Tennyson was boy although he
liked poets.
The first poet he wrote he received -
dollars aud half FOR il.
Tennyson was very man.
He was a poet.
He wrote poetry for Queen Victoria.
At his house so many people came TO
see him he moved.
At night when the stars come out he
would climb up on his houseroof
He wrote many poets.
The people in the place where Ten
nyson lived the people said that there
were great monster keeping gard over
some gold.
Tennyson knew these stories were not
true.
But he never tryed to find the gold.
He made his own gold by writeing
poet.
Two Of Tennyson best poets he got
more than so dollars fore one line.
He had a school nate and he died and
II teen years after he died Tennyson
wrote poet about hin.
In side of his house that Tennyson
was in it was bright and cheerful.
Tennyson became very great man.

A Fine Entertainment.

Perhaps the most enjoyable, as 1t
was undoubtedly the most artistic,
musical entertainment ever given IN
Shepherdstown was that of the Amer
lean Ssxophone Quartette Concert
Company. 1t was the last entertain
ment Of the Shepherd College course
for this season, and large and aP-
preciative audience was present. The
programme offered by the concert
company was ofthe highest excellence,
including the classic favorites, and
every number was rendered with an
artistic perfection that appealed to the
most cultivated musical taste. Miss
Helen Winslow, the soprano sololst,
sang several selections She has a
clear soprano voice under perfect con-
troll, and she captivated the audience.
Her rendition of "Infammatus" was
superb, while the song, For All
Eternity" with clarionet obligato by
Mr.. S Schaich, was very beautiful.
Mr.. Vim. F. Schensley, the director,
brought down the house with his sax
ophone solo, Bohemian Girl, and a
duet by Messrs. Schensley and Paul,
mon E Yer" was exquisitely per-
formed. A bass saxophone solo, 1.-The
Lighthouse Bell, by Mr. R Becker,
was splendid, and brought prolonged
applause. Perhaps the most enjoy
able numbers of the evening were the
Sextette from Lucia de Lammermoor
and selection from I'll Trovatore
by the saxophone quartette and harp
ist. The harpist, Signor Francesca
Cortese, it must be said, was An artist
>of high merit. He handled the beau
tiful instrument with delicate precis-
ION, and whether in solo work or as
accompanist he always pleased the
audience. Indeed, the audience was
delighted with the entire performance
and it will be heartily welcomed
again next year. The agreeable
good nature with which the perfor-
mers responded to encores was not
among the least Of the things that
made them so popular in such a short
time with the audience.

The people of our community are
gratifed at the announcement made
by Prof. Knutti, that the college ex-
poets to present another course of
lectures and entertainments next sea-
son. The course just ended was a
splendid one. The lectures and the
concerts have undoubtedly had most
elevating and refining influence upon
our community, and very happily
supplement the educational work of
Shepherd College. Such lectures as
those of DR.. Frank Bristol and John
Temple Graves are inspiring to our
young people and helpful to all who
hear them. They have been greatly
appreciated by the community and
well supported, for although this
years couee was an expensive one,
there was a deficit of less than ten
dollars. The thanks of our people
are due to the faculty Of Shepherd
College for the intellectual treats that
they have given us.

The Russian regiments are camped
on high ground. Signal fires from
the hill tops are constantly haring,
lighting up the bivouacS and the horse
lines of the cavalry regiments. Long
trains of soldiers are constantly pass
ing and repassing. The Russian troops
are in excellent condition. General
Kuropatkin and his staff are apparent
~ quite easy in their minds. The
Japanese have given the Russians time

while General Kuroki is not as secure
as formerly from a flank attack. Gen
eral Kuroki cannot get around the
Russian position without forcing
