BIC CROWD AT THE FAIR
People Flock to Inwood Thursday
BY Thousands.
WAS HOT ANc UNCOMFORTABLE
Crowd Was Good-Natured However,
and Accepted Situation Fair
Will Close on Friday.

The third and biggest day of the
Inwood fair attracted one of this larg- |
est crowds in the history of the as
ISOLATION to the park. and almost
every available inch of space in the
enclosure was occupied by the swelter
ing people from this and adjoining
counties. The people began to arrive
early in the day. and By noon streams
were pouring in by rail, in carriges,
automobiles, horseback and afoot.
the scene being all interesting and
animated one.
The early train on the Cumberland
Valley took number of persons who
wished to put in foil dav Mt the
fair, and much larger crowd went
down or the II O'Clock train. A
crowd that packed the seats and aisles
and hung onto the steps of the cars
went on the special that left here at
o'clock this afternoon, while many
more will take advantage of the even
ing train to spend few hours at the
park. A number of those who went
down on the special train, continued
to Winchester. where the base ball
club is playing this afternoon. and
this number was augmented by the
crowd that went from Iuwood. Re-
turning this evening the train Will
stop at the park. and will arrive in
Martinsburg about II o'clock to-
night.
BY far the greater number of those
at the park came in carriages, and
there was jam OF vehicles both in-
side aud outside the grounds The
icrowd was so large that II was un-
comfortable, and the oppressive heat
of the afternoon served to make mat
tiers much worse The people were
good -natored. however and accep.ed
the situation with the best grace
| possible under the circumstances.
This year the judges have adopted
| a new plan of awarding premiums,
keeping the names of the exhibitors
secret and giving out the prizes by
numbers only. While an ATTEMPT has
been made in prAvious years to carry
out this plan, it had only been par
TALLY successful. and it has been
stated that favoritism had bsen
shown in certain departments. The
judges this year. however. determined
to eliminate this feature, and in
rigidly enforcing the rule some
persons were offended. especially in
| that DEPARTMENT where the ladies
formed tie greater number of eXhi-
bitors. and where the judges were
| members of the gentier sex. How
ever. the fair officials have adhef' d
to their rule. with the result thai
the premiums this year will be
| awarded solely upon merit. In the
greater number of cases the winners
| Will not be announced until tae com.
| nlete lists have been made mp.
| Visitors to the fair this year express
| surprise ct the excellence of the show
ing in the different departments, and
| many persons have tended the
exhibition year after year declare the
exhibits are far ahead of anything in
the history of the association. This is
particularly true of the live stock,
fruit and poultry departments.
Friday will be the las day of the
fair, and manv peIs m who were
kept away by the oppressive heat to-
day will visit the park on the closing
day.

he must depend on himself. 1t is
not with the negro race question; /;
1t is a personal question. The race
may not be exterminated, but idle
ness and dissipation and ignorance
and crime will themselves carry n
large part of the race to destruction.
Let the Industrious negro. the
sober, thrifty, self-controlled negro
separate himself from black crimi-
nails as from white criminals. Let
him build himself home and close
its doors to the idle and to the un-
worthy, aud in time men will see
that all negroes are not alike, and
they will not visit on the race the
crimes even of large part of the
race.
The negroes must themselves
mark the distinction between good
and evil; between law abiding men
and lawless men; between crimi-
nails and good citizens. When that
is done the community will accord
justice to the negro.

The Pyramid and the Vase.

Those were remarkable figures of
speech which Edward Everett Hale
buried in long Brooklyn speech
last week in describing the differ
ence in the character of American
civilization under Republican insti-
tutions end the civilization of con-
tinentai Europe. He said the latter
was like a pyramid, very broad ct
the base, but steadily tapering to
narrow point at the top, and the
top was ever struggling to control
the vast population at the base.
Our civilization he likened to vase,
which was narrow at the base but
swelled out to large proportions in
the middle and then narrowed at
the top. In other words, it was the
middle which governed the body
polite in the United States, over
shadowIng aud overwhelming both
the top and the bottom.
There is a great thought in this
and one which constitutes the best
promise of the salvation of our in
stitutions. Our strength is neither
In the top or in the bottom. Against
this middle class power neither aris-
tocracy of wealth at the top nor the
ignorance ard passion of the brute
strength at the bottom can prevail.
With this great average of moral
character, material prosperity and
education at the middle neither the
power of plutocracy at the top nor
the power of demagogy at the bot
tom can gain ascendancy.-Wall
