Judge Bell.

An especial bit of good news to Charles
Town people out of last Tuesdays cleo
ton is the announcement that Mr. Joseph
H. Beall, former Charles Town boy,
has been elected City Judge in Yonkers,
N. Y. by the largest majority ever given
any candidate in Yonkers for any office.
Mr.. Beall is an honored son of the late
Benz. F, Beall, former editor of the
SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON, and nephew OF
Mrs c. Frank Gallaher of this place.
The Yonkers Herald, in noticing Mr..
Bealls election, says
s To that distinguished citizen of the
Seventh Ward, the Hon. Joseph H Beall,
hats off. If ever public acknowledge
ment was made of mans services, it is
this vote of the people. The better the
people of Yonkers know Mr.. Beall the
more they will admire him. Mr.. Beall
has pledged his word to divorce the local
court from politics. 1t is high time that
this devoutly to be desired condition OBJ
tanned. Learned in the law, dignified
and capable, the city will have a judge
who will bear his honors in keeping with
the splendid services that all who know
him expect him to render"

At the recent annual banquet of the
Board of Trade of Elkins, former Sena-
tor Henry G. Davis was the principal
speaker. There has been a good deal
of discussion lately on the subject of rate
making and railroad ownership by the
Government" said the ex-senator.
''One seems to be step toward the
other. Should the Government under
take to regulate the revenue of rail-
roads, the power to do which is denied
by many OF the best legal minds of the
country it would practically be one set
of people managing the property of
anothdr. and would discourage the fur
Their building of roads The ownership
of railroads by the Government would
be detrimental to the interests of the
whole people. 1t would stifle COMPETE
ton and retard the development of the
country, which is SO dependent upon
the activity of private capital. 1t
would also create a great political ma
chine of over a million workers to be
used by the party in power. Gin cinnati
owned the Cincinnati Southern railroad,
tried to operate it. lost money and then
sold it; and Baltimore. after many years
of futile attempt to run 1t at a profit,
sold the Western Maryland railroad"

Largest Dramatic Production Ever
Made.

Mr.. Wright Lorimer and his company
have begun the sixth week at the Acad-
envy of Music in Baltimore, in, The
Shepherd King" the largest dramatic
production ever made, and which tells
the story of David, the shepherd-poet-
king of Israel. in his younger days, and
shows the gradual rise Of the boy from {.
low estate to the monarchy of Israel.
The good old Bible story of David and
Goliath is splendidly exemplifed. and
the character of Saul, the mad king of
Israel, is made a striking figure in this
historically correct drama of those
ancient times. There are twenty-five
speaking characters, and each is presen-
ted by an artist with reverence and abil-
ity. Mr.. Lorimer's David is high form
of dramatic art At Bethlehem, under
the protection of the roof. he is truthful
as he is brave, with arms strong enough
to break bow of steel. and with heart
unconscious of his great mission in life
1t is not until the second scene, when he
finds his king Knocked, and the armies of
Israel defied by ths heather Philistines.
that the shepherd boy realizes the
strength of his manhood Then it is he
goes forth in the inspiration of Jehovah
with a sling and a stone" and returns
to the camp a victor over the mighty
Goliath of Gath. The scenes of David's
youth amid the Hills of Bethlehem, the
camp of Saul IN the Vale of Elah with
the armies OF Israel in full armor of brass
and steel. the palace of Saul at Gbeah
with the golden throne room magnificent
with the rich coloring of Oriental cos
tunes and hangings, the Cave of Endor,
with weird gloominess. and the court
yard of the palace overlooking the city.
where the impressive death of Saul oc-
ours, are all scenes that will stand the
closest criticism of both the Orientalist
and the Biblical scholar.

bees go in strong bands to pillage ana
are able to storm and sack hive. ATt-
err the slaughter they carry all the pro-
visions home. Some colonies of bees
never work; they live entirely by rob-
berry and murder.
There are also thieves who creep I'M
perceived into strange hives to steal
honey. If successful they return after

break open the honey safes and carry
