sue with today's paper, tells of the the ter
rible fate that has betallen the oity Of
San Francisco. with visitatlons by earth

coast. A pecuniary loss OF from $780,.
900, 900 to $500, 600, 900 has been en-.
tailed. large number of lives have been
lost and thousands of people are homeless.

Our community was highly favored
last week in hearing two very interesting
and scholarly lectures by Prof. Waitmap
T. Barbe, of the West Virginia Univer-
lsity. On Thursday night large au-
deuce composed of the best cultivation
and taste of Charles Town assembled IN
| the court house and heard with great
pleasure and interest his lecture OIL ouI
Educational Inheritance" .Fhe gist OF
this lecture was that human life is more
of quest than pilgrimage, as it Is
popularity regarded, and that the youth
of our land have the inalienable right to
opportunities for obtaining the very best
that the race has thought. felt, said OF,
done. and to be prepared for the fellow
ship of educated men. On Friday
afternoon an audience smaller in number
but equal in quality enjoyed another lee
ture by him in the chapel of Powhatan
College, on History, as revealed by litera-
ture. He nedliterature as the lasting
expression in words OF what is true to
life, and showed that the literature of all
ages had survived only SO far as it had
been true to the spirit of its times. In
our own country New England life.
Southern life and Western life, can be
understood only by reading the pages of
literary men who were imbued with the
sentiments of these localities and faith
tull expressed them in words. We think
he was not quite accurate in his ideas of
our national songs. In our humble
opinion we have no national song worthy
OF the name, but do have some excellent
poetry of patriotism and freedom. The
Star Spangled Banner is only a fine des-
criptlon of local fight set to a not oriqi
nal tune as unmusical as evel irritated
the ears OF : patient public Dixie is
jolly. rollicking tune. that puts every
person with Southern sentiments in
good humor. and comes near to the heart
of the old Confederate veteran. but its
words are rubbish from the pen of an
Ohio negro minstrel. not worthy of the
dignity of the Southern cause. Mary
land, my MARYLAND is beautiful song
tor only one little Southern State, and
the tune is borrowed from the old college
song Lauriger Horatius. Our nearest
approach to worthy national song is S.
r. Smiths American Hymn, my Coun-
try. It's of Three, but SO far as we
know is sung only to an old English
tune. Fame and immortality for the
authorship of national song are prizes
yet to be won by some future poet like
the author of the Marseilleise or The
Watch on the Rhine.

year lease which begins on June 10Th of

the fact that under his management the
hotel has prospered and gained a good
reputation throughout this section the
owners of the property gave him the
preference. The dining room of the

A Munchausen Story.

The Chicago Record Herald of Apri
IS contains the following. purportipg te
be a telegram from Charles Town:
The city of Charles Town was thrown
into panic today by the discovery of 6
gigantic cave directly beneath the town
the top of which is near enough the sur
face of the earth to make the situation
precarious to the inhabitants. Man,
residents have fled from the city and
others are preparing to leave soon for q
place of safety. 1t is feared the entire
city must be abandoned"
The author of the above Munchausen
story should have the premium for lying.
That there has been discovered a large
cave under a portion of Charles Town,
with lake of clear, pure water, is true,
but that auy one is alarmed thereat or
that people are fleeing from the town, is
false in toto and the sheerest rubbish.

Mr.. Frank Young went in the boat to
the northern end of the lake in the
Myers cave last week, and found another
chamber seemingly larger than the. first
its floor covered with water connected
with the first body of water through the
opening between them. He estimates
the length of the second chamber at two
hundred feet. A magnetic needle take n
i ito the cavern showed that the exten.
slve underground passageway runs al
most directly north from the entrance,
and a surface tracing of the course of
the tavern indicates that it passes under

LOSE DEER
Herd of Reindeer Get Adrift
 in Wilderness

Panama, Dec. 2-From a letter from Frank Decker at Bettles the intorma- tion has been received by Rev. J. L.. Provost, superintendent of the govern ment reindeer herd, that 300 of the deer wandered of and after some con- siderable searching 25O were found and returned to the herd. Hopes are en- tertaiued that the remaining 50 may be found. The Lap sent with Decker re- ports the country between here and the Koyukuk to be splendid pastur- age for the deer. The trip to Bettles was made in F days over an unbroken trail heavy with drifts. The return will soon be started, and the deer will be held at a point most suitable for suc- ceSsfull wintering.
