Copenhayer wasgiven the first hear

case of grand larceny. This, how
ever. was abandoned, and efforts were
confined to proving petit larceny. the
amount of the stuff alleged to have
been stolen being too small to come
under the head OF the graver offense.
Mr.. Matthews testified that he had

feature OF the first trial was the
attempt of the state TO introduce wit
nesses to show that the lads had con-
fessed their guilt but the court
promptly sat down upon this manner
of securing evidence.
In tue first case the jury returQed a
verdict of not guilty in short time

the kearns case rendered a verdict
of acquittal without leaving the box.
The two lads, both Young and Of re-

EQUIPMENT FOR SCHOOL
Laboratory to Be Added to Appli-

TWO VACANCIES TO BE FILLED

will be held on FRIDAY and Saturday
next. and there will be specia
meeting Of the board on Saturday
evening to make the appointments
from among those who are successful
in the examination.
1t has been determined BY the board
to appoint only those whose qnalfica-
tions are snch as TO enable them to
push the work at the Hieh school to
an even higher plane than it now oc.
cupies. The board will pursue the
most liberal policy toward the schools.
and will cooperate with the teachers
in every possible way. in order that
the best results NAV be obtained. In
pursuance of this idea, President
Russler last evening introduced the
subject of equipping the High school
with laboratory for conducting
experiments, and the board thought
so we'll of the proposition that it was
decided to place the equipment at
once. This will enable the High
school graduates to enter many col
leges which demand a course of
laboratory work as one OF the qnalifi-
cations for admission, and from which
thew have heretofore been barred by
reason of the absence of opportunity
for this work.

The following new text books were
adopted for use in the High school :

these books are for use in classes

A few nights ago cross tie was plac-

IS A HANDSOME HOTEL
WORK ON THE BERKELEY NOW
PRACTICALLY CoMPL ETED.
Remodeled and Refurnished at Consid-
orabIe Expense, It Is Now One of
the Best In the state.

The work of remodeliDg aud return.
ishing the Berkeley hotel, which has
been in progress since Mr.. Thomas w.
Martin took charge several months
ago, has been about completed, and
the result makes that popular hostelry
one of the handsolest and best-ap-
pointed in the state.
Some thousands of dollars have been
expended on the interior work alone,
and the entire place bears unmistaka-
BILE evidence of good taste in the
selection of materials. in the harmony
of colors and the refurnishings.
Throughout the whole there is an at
mosphere Of richness and comfort that
is distiuctively pleasing. and which
gives an air of individuality to the
Berkeley that it perhaps has never en-
joved before.
Each room in the building has been
reprinted. repapered and refurnisb ed,
while entirely new and up.to-date
electric light and steam heating plants
have been installed. A number of
new bath rooms have been added to
the guest chambers on the second and
third floors. giving much better
accommodation to guests
Two particularly handsome rooms
are the psrlor and dining room. liz
the former every inch of space reoeiv

treatment of the wall, woodwork and
ceiling give a decidedly handsome
effect The dining room is a model
of quiet elegance and comfort with
some very unique features. The
wainscoting. is of dark red rubber,
while the walls abov are in green
panelled paper. The ceiling is of
yellow toned paper. panelled in dark
green, with narrow gilt monldings.
This room is fixed for the accommo-
dation of so guests at one time. but
the space permits the seating of 175
persons without discomfort.
The treatment of the lobby is also
handsomely unique. The arches are
of dark wood, richly stained, the cell.

100 shaded incandescent lamps give
a splendid effect after night. There

SEEOLESS APPLE TREES.
Postmaster CIohan Visited the
Nurseries at Point Pleasant,
ABOUT 100000 NOW GROWING
Demands For Them are Numerous,
But Orders Will Not Be Filled
Until Next Summer.

Postmaster Alex. Clohan. president
of the West Virginia horticultural
society. who is well-known fruit
grower and member of the Spencer
Seedless Apple Co.. has just returned
from visit to the nurseries of that
company, located along the Ohio river,
near Poiat Pleasant. w. Va. Mr..
Clohan is the manager OF the COM
pany, and reports everything in first
class condition at the nurseries. This
company was organized in this city
less than year ago, but already such
progress has been made that its future
is practical assured.
There was great deal of soothing
ON the part of skeptics and jealous
nurseryuIen over the seedless apple,
but those in position to know tie
real merits of the new method of fruit
culture went quietly ahead with their
work, and are giving practical
demonstration of the success of the
venture. About 30U. 900 seedless apple
trees are now furnishing at the nurs-
cries at Point Pleasant, and these are
now being rapidly budded by skilled
nurservmen. About 5000 young trees
were budded this spring, but no sales
were permitted. as il has been decided
to accumulate large stock of the
trees before filling any order. Under
the arrangement with the originators
of the seedless apple the local COM
PAW cannot sell trees in West Vir.

In order that the expenses incident

less apples in this state may be met,
the company is offering limited a.
mount of stock for sale. Mr.. Henry
J. Seibert, of this city, is president of
the company, and Mr.. Wilbur H..
Thomas is secretary. Inquiries address
ed to them or to Manager Clohan will
receive prompt attention, and they
will give all information concerning
the business and method of culture.
Mr.. Clohan states that the corn crop
of Berkeley county is fully as good as
the Ohio river bottom corn, which is
rated as the best in this section. He
also says that when it comes to apples,
Berkeley will produce more of this
fruit than the rest of the state, with
the exception of jefferson and Han
cock countries, and that the prices
will be good
