The Jamestown exposition when IL
closes its gates tonight, will, in all

year, when the financial failure that
came this year will, it Is expected
be succeeded by successful run OF
several months, which it is believed
will produce sufficient revenue not on

the $1,O00,000 loan made but the entire

The exposition is said to be in, debt
to the extent of $2,50O.O0O, which was
borrowed from the government, rail
roads and bankers. The average daily
attendance has been only about 1900
while the daily salary expense is said
to have been $4,000. rhe property is
valued at $5,0O0,0O0-
The financial failure of the exposi-
ton can be attributed almost directly
to its incompleteness on the opening
day, April rs last. The black eye CIV
en- it by disgruntled visitors, who, by
some misfortune on the opening day
failed to receive what they considered
proper attention, together with the

err from. The fact, too, that the gov

enterprise.
The exposition has been declared by
critics well able to pass judgment,
to be one of the finest expositions
ever held. and with its many beauties
and attractive features, it is thought
that next year, when it can be said
that everything is complete, great
attendance and great financial sue
cess will be assured.
The fact that President Roosevelt
and his cabinet have been ,ough inn
pressed to order the retention of the
government exhibit at jamestown un-
til congress shall say whether or not
the government will continue its par
ticipation next year is taken to mean
that the administration will give its
support to an additional appropriation
to warrant this continued participa-
ton.

Expired In Baltimore Hospital as
The Result Of Injuries.
WAS A NATIVE OF MART|NsBURG
Fell From Burke Street Bridge In
August and Never Recovered
From Injuries = Was Balti-
more & Ohio Machinist.

Mr.. John T. Garvey, a native of this
city and well-known and popular
young man, died in the City hospital
in Baltimore at $50 o'clock this morn
ing as the result Of injuries received
from fall on August last at the
East Burke street bridge of the Bal
tirnore & Ohio railroad. Immediately
after the accident Mr.. Garvey was taxi
en- to the Kings Daughters hospital
in this city. where 1T was found that
the hip joint had been dislocated
After several fruitless efforts on
the part of the surgeons to replace
the bone in the socket, an incision
was made to determine the cause of
that the rim of the hip socket had
been broken, and that the joint could
not be kept in place. The case was
an extremely difficult one, and 1t was
determined after several days to re-
move Mr.. Garvey to Baltimore.
The surgeons there, however, were
unable to accomplish any more for
the unfortunate young man than those
in this city and as the condition Of
Mr.. Garvey grew more serious it was
determined to amputate the leg at the
hip This was done Friday, but his
weakened condition would not permit
him to rally from the shock, and he
died the following morning.
Mr.. Carver spent his entire life in
Martinsburg. For several years he
was employed as a machinist in the
Baltimore & Ohio shops here, but la
ter was engaged in concrete work with
Contractor William Cummisky. He
was aged 20 years, and was unmar-
ried.
Surviving him are his father, Mr..
John Garvey, now residing in Frost
burg, Md, and the following sisters:
Mrs. w. s. Little, East Liberty street,
this city; Miss Wayne Garvey and Miss
Theresa Garvey, of Cumberland. The
remains will be brought to this city
Sunday night and taken to the home
OF his sister, ON East Liberty street.

ASPLEND|DADDRESS
Or. Purlnton Spoke 10 Interested
Audience Friday Night.
SUBJECT, ETHICS IN THE SCHOOL
Some Striking Passages Delivered
BY the President of West vir-
ginia University : Reception
Followed Address.

In connection with the meeting OF
the Potomac Valley Round Table,
which came to a cloe this afternoon,
DR.. ID. 3. Purinton, president OF the
West Virginia state university, deliv-
cred a notable address upon the sub
ject of Ethics In the School, before
a good-sized audience in Christ Re-
formed chapel Friday evening.
1t was a matter OF genuine regret
to the teachers that larger audience
was not present, as the address OF
DR.. Purinton vas not only brilliant.
but Of an intensely practical nature,
and displayed remarkable mastery
of the subject. Those who heard the
address, however, were greatly inn
pressed, and listened with the closest
attention and interest. Some of the
more striking remarks made by DR..
Purinton were:
Some Striking Passages.
Ethics is that subject which treats
of the moral qualities which hold
us. Anything not commanding as-s
sent of the people is not ethical.
How many things in the school
room must be right to be done, how
many must be wrong, how many are
Indifferent? i believe every concious
act Of a moral being is moral act.
1t does not make any difference
whether we are guilty or innocent, we
are responsible for the act. Every
thing in the school room is an ethical
duty. 1t is just as much my duty to
eat my dinner as 1t is to say my pray
ers. No man has any right to teach
all he knows Truth is one---all truth
is, and you can't attempt to teach me
truth in mathematics without teach-
ing other related truths.
There are other methods OF teach
ing, I think the method has more to..
do with teaching than any other
thing.
What is your motive In teaching?
Us 1t for money? If you we're you
would not be teaching at all. Why
there is more money in saving wood.
I venture that the most OF you are
teaching for the good you can do.
II teacher does not like her work
she had better resign. DO not teach
the subject but the pupil. / wonder
II we are all interested in the people
we are teaching. or in the subjects
we are teaching. We must recognize
