END OF FIRST YEAR
Stone Settlement Home to Observe
First Anniversary.
RECEPTION TO Be HELD THURSDAY
People of the City Cordially Invited
to Call on That Day Work Has
Grown Wonderfully Through
Efforts of Ladies.

Efforts of Ladies.
The first anniversary of the Stone
Settlement home will be observed on
Thursday next by reception from
to o'clock in the afternoon and pro-
misses to be an interesting event Plans
for the reception have been under way
for some time past under direction
of Mrs. Guy Hetzel, Mrs. C. w. Link,
Mrs. l. L. Bender. Miss Loomis and
the other ladies in charge of this work,
and large number of visitors are
expected on Thursday.
As will be remembered by readers
of The Evening Journal, this home was
established one year ago through the
efforts of several charitable ladies of
this city, and named for the late ia
Their of Mrs. Hetzel, through whose
generosity much of the expense of
maintenance is borne. During the year
of its existence it has accomplished a
splendid work, and has grown in use
fulness beyond the expectations of
its promoters.
Starting in a small way, it has
gradually enlarged it's sphere of use
fulness, until today its work is both
wide and important. The home fills
its own peculiar niche in the religious
and charitable work of this city, and
1t is doubtful If any like institution
in the state has accomplished more
real benefit in its particular sphere
than has the Stone Settlement hone
Like all eleemosynary institutions,
this home has been compelled to fight
for funds with which to carry Oh it's
work. Thus far the ladies in ch ,c e.
have been enabled to carry their bur-
den with but slight help from the pub
lic But the work has bee )E.e 50 en-
Iarged and important that tbs need
of outside assistance is acu.ely felt,
and The Evening Journal is constrain-
ed to express the hope that the first
annual reception will bring to thu
home enough charitable persons who
will take such interest in its work
as to relieve the managers, in part,
of some of the financial burden.
The program for the day will be
entirely informal. There will be a
display OF the work of the different
classes, some music by friends of
the institution, etc. The occasion,
however, will be a decidedly interest
ing one, and it is hoped that all who
are interested in this character of
charitable work will visit the home
during the afternoon.
The work is entirely undenomina-
tional in character. Members of
every church in the city,
as we'll as those who are not members
of any church have been helped
through the efforts of the ladies in
charge. At present more than 100
persons, adults as we'll as children,
are members of the different classes
maintained, and everything from reli-
gion to mechanics is taught.
The work has proved so popular
that the ladies have been unable to
accommodate the great number of
applicants. Particularly is this true
in the classes. 1t is hoped however,
that the interest of the public may b.
aroused to that point where the mana
gers will be enabled to care for all

Queen Street This Afternoon.
WAS A NATIVE OF PENNSYLVANIA
But Had Resided Here For Two
Score Years Was Well-Known
and Respected Resident The
Other Deaths Reported.

Other Deaths Reported.
Mr.. John F. Roberts, one of the
best known residents of this city, and
for the past 40 years respected resi-
dent of Martinsburg. died at his home
on North Queen street this afternoon
at $50 o'clock, following an illness
Of about four weeks. Death was due
to kidney trouble and neuralgia of
the heart. .
Squire Roberts, as he was best
known among his hundreds of friends
in this city, was stricken with his
last illness while on visit to his
brother, Mr.. Charles Roberts, during
the old home week in Baltimore. He
was brought to his home in this city
in a precarious condition, in which
he remained until death ensued
Monday night his condition became
alarming, and it was decided that an
operation was necessary to prolong
his life. The operation was perform
ed this afternoon at l o'clock, but
Mr.. Roberts failed to rally, and his
death ensued in short time.
Mr.. Roberts was in his 74th year.
He was born in Philadelphia, but
removed to Woodstock, va, where he
was married. Later he removed to
Martinsburg, where he continuously
resided until his death.
During his long life here, Mr.. Rob
erts was conspicuous figure. He
was a justice of the peace for a
number of years, serving out the I'M
expired term of Justice John Martin.
During his encumbency of this Office
he was regarded as an unusually cru
dite and conscientious official, and his
decisions were invariably upheld by
the higher courts.
After his retirement from this Office
Mr.. Roberts devoted his energies to
the pension business, and it is a note
worthy fact that his business In this
line was greater than all the other
pension attorneys in this section. A
Union soldier himself, he enjoyed the
confidence of all the Union soldiers
throughout this section, and was large
ly instrumental in securing pensions
for number of the veterans of the
Union army.
Mr.. Roberts was a member of a
Pennsylvania regiment of Union sol
diers during the Civil war, and was
a gallant and brave soldier. He re-
moved to Woodstock, Va, after the
war, and later came to Martinsburg
Surviving him are his widow, Mrs.
Ellen Roberts, and two children--Mr.
Charles Roberts, of Baltimore, and
Mrs. Charles Hobby, of Cumberland
The funeral arrangements will be
announced tomorrow.

a MOTHER vision Of fairyland may
~ be tucked away in the memories
~ of the happy little folks assembled
Il at the home of Capt and Mrs.
Richardson Clover yesterday after
noon at the annual fancy dress ball for the
contemporaries of the two young daughters
of the household, Miss Eudora Clover and
Miss Beatrice Clover, as well as younger
members of many important resident and
official families of the capital In all there
were about one hundred and sixty-five chill
dren present to take part in the pageant,
and decoration at once original and dis
tinctive formed the setting for the beauti-
full scene. The central hall had a section
given up to the stringed orchestra, but the
rest of the space was taken by the merry
assemblage. The eastern room, which is at
the right of the main hall, had its ceiling
covered by garlands of green, in which hung
myriads Of Chinese lanterns, in each OF
which an electric light cleaned. The din
ing room, adjoining, presented woodland
spring scene, being a bower Of dogwood
blossoms. The drawing room, however, was
the wonderland, as Dutch windmill scene
was arranged in the bay window. The mill
was house big enough for four-year-
to enter, and the slowly revolving wheel
was agleam with electric lights under red,
white and blue tiny globes. A forest loomed
up in the background, with bits of snow in
the trees. Snow covered the ground and
the top of the mill. AS a finish to this WIN
ter scene three large sleighs were side by
side in another part of the room, amid
row of cedar bushes. In these se1ghs were
piled gifts for the guests. For the smallest
there were toys, dolls and animals and 1or
the older children souvenirs in such inter-
esting forms fountain pens, magic Ian
terms and sleight- of-hand boxes for the
boys and bags, belts and burnt leather ar
ticles, such as postal card albums and
magazine covers for the girls. The dis
tribution of all these pretty things was the
very last thing before the party broke up
and followed the serving of refreshments
downstairs in the supper room.
Mrs. Glover stood with her two handsome
young daughters in the main hall to receive
the guests The elder, Miss Eudora Clover,
impersonated Art Nouveau," her costume
being composed of folds of different colored
chiffons. making a beautiful shimmering
effect From the neck, front and back
hung strip of cloth of gold, on which were
appliqued flower petals. Curious gilt orna-
mentS and roses were in her hair.
Miss Beatrice Clover was a peacock, the

from her shoulders to the edge of her short
skirt. The head of the bird formed head
dress. and The no less wonderful tail could
be manipulated that it could be thrown
straight up over the head in the pose the
bird assumes.
