WILL BUY SWEEPER
City to Gel Machine For Use on
The Brick Pavement.
H|TCHING PROBLEM NOT TAKEN UP
Members of Street Committee Defer
Action on This Question Until

osition to Handle.

The street committee Of the city
council held meeting Monday night
and decided to purchase a sweeper for
use on the paved portion Of Queen
street, and today City Clerk Letter
ordered the machine for immed'ate
shipment.
The sweeper will be of the rotary
pattern. which sweeps and gathers up
the dirt as 1t goes along, and being
of light but strong construction, will
be easily operated without the use of
horses.
The machine will be used every
night under direction of Janitor joe
Blake, who has been keeping the pave
ment clean by thorough washing
three times per week. Janitor Blake
will operate the machine under the
same terms to merchants that now OBJ
tain, collecting a small fee each week
from chem.
The street committee was to have
takensup and disposed of the question
of hiehing horses on the paved por-
ton Of Queen street, but owing to
the fact that all of the members Of
the committee were not present, n
was decided to defer this matter until
another time when full attendance
can be secured.
The members of the committee feel
that they have decidedly hard pro-
position to solve in the hitching ques-
ton, and they propose to exercise
the utmost caution as to how they
tackle 1t.
They easily recognize the sentiment
against hitching animals on the main
street, but there are also people, es-
peclally the country folk, who will con-
slider an order to move to a side
street and infringement on their
rights. 1t is probable that the street
committee will discuss the plan of
establishing hitching yard at some
convenient point, although this would
prove a pretty hard proposition to
handle, owing to the expense involved

mess Transacted at Meeting
on Monday Night.

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the board of education was held
Monday night, and proved to he .
short and unimportant session, there
being little business before the COM
missioners for transaction.
President Russler occupied the chair
and Commissioners Young, Snowden
and Whetzel and Secretary Pitzer were
present.
Secretary Pitzer stated that he lad
received number of inquiries con-
corning the school bonds, and had
replied to them, but was unable to
give the firms any definite informa.
ton. He asked for instructions on
this point, and this brough out gen.
eral discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY OF
trying to place the bonds at Il fs lime.
The commissioners seemed to be Of
the opinion that 1t would be better
to wait for awhile, until financial con
ditions improved, before trying to sell
the bonds. Mr.. Seibert stated that
three Martinsburg gentlemen had AK
ed him for information concerning
the bonds, saying they. wished to lille
applications at the proper time. One
man wanted to invest $4,000, another
$4,000, while the other did not state
the amount he wished to invest II
was finally decided to hold the matter
off for a few weeks, when the bonds
will be properly advertised.
Mr.. Snowden brought up the matter
Of plans for the new building in the
third ward, saying that Architect Ste
wart had asked for some definite in
formation; but this was also held up
until some time in December, when
the matter will be settled.
Mr.. Pitzer reported that the fur
mace in the second ward building was
not giving entire satisfaction, and the
board ordered an investigation.
Superintendent Brindle reported
that the schools are in good condi-
ton, with everything running smooth
ly, especially at the high school.

Governor WarfieId Names Him as
Judge McSherry's Successor.
HAS RELATIVES IN MART|NSBURG
First Cousin of Senator Faulkner
and Judge Faulkner, and Uncle of
Mrs. P. R. Harrison - Native
of Winchester.

Governor Warneld, Of Maryland, on
Monday night announced the appoint
ment of Judge A. Hunter Boyd, Of Cum
berland chief justice Of the Maryland
Court of Appeals, TO succeed the late
Chief Justice James McSherry, of
Frederick Judge Boyd will qualify
Immediately and assume his
new duties, as the court will then re-
sumo It's sittings.
The appointment of Judge Boyd was a
surprise and came Unexpectedly to
Judge Boyd.
In Annapolis the appointment of
Judge Boyd was very favorably re-
ceived and will undoubtedly meet with
approval throughout the state. Gov
ernor Warfield stated that he
had not decided as to whom he would
appoint chief judge of the sixth judi
cial circuit In place of Judge McSher-
ry.
Last July the name OF Judge Boyd
was brought forward for the demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination, and
although sentiment did not crystalise
for him at the time, his wide popular-
ity was attested by the compliments
that were passed upon him as a judge.
1t was urged then that he was man
of high character and that his record
on the bench was unassailable. At
the same time 1t was pointed out by
those who were reluctant to see him
retire to private life or return to the
practice of his profession that 1t
would be difficult for him to be re-
elected in 1908, because the Fourth
district is heavily republican.
The son Of Presbyterian minister,
Judge Boyd was born in Winchester,
Va, July Is, 1S49. After receiving
his elementary education there he en-
tered Washington College, now Wash
ington and Lee university, at Lexing-
ton, Va, in 1865 He remained two
sessions at this institution and then
spent one session In the University
of Virginia. In 1869 he began the
study of law in Winchester, and was
deputy clerk Of the county court I'M
til 1870, when he entered the law
school at Lexington. He received the
degree of bachelor OF law in June, 1871
In the August following he settled per-
in Cumberland, Md, and be-
gan the practice of his profession. In
1875 he was elected states attorney

might possibly justify such a display
Of individuality might lie with the flu

But Notwithstanding these indica-
Ions Of battle the early portion of the
proceedings was unmarked by excite
nent, being tingcd with the purposeless
lack of vitality that had Of late marked
ali affairs of the scarborough ministry,
md it was not until the adjournment
If the house for the Easter recess had
1t last been moved that the spirit of
activity lowering in the air descended
and galvanized the assembly into life.
It was then, amid a stir of interest,
that Loder slowly rose.
Many curious Incidents have marked
the speechmaking annals Of the house
Of commons, but it Is doubtful whether
It has evcr been the lot Of IL member
to hcar his own voice raised for the
first time on n subject of.~ital interest
to his party, having been denied all
initial assistance of minor questions
asked or unimportant amendments
made. OF all those gathered together
In the great building on that day, only
one mar appreciated the difficulty of
Loder's position, and that man was
Loder himself.
He rose slowly and stood silent for
a couple of seconds, his body braced,
his fingers touching the shcaf of notes
that lay in front of him. To the wait.
ing house tine silence was effective. 1t
might mean overassurance or ii might
mean Il failure of nerve mt a critical
moment. Either possibility had Il tinge
OF %plquancy. Moved by the same inn
pulse, fifty pairs Of eyes turned upon
him with new interest, but up In the
ladies' gallery Eve clasped her hands
in sudden apprehension, and Fraide,
sitting stiiily in his seat, turned and
shot one swift glance at the man on
whom, against prudence and precedent,
he had pinned his faith. The glance
was swift, but very searching. and with
a characteristic movement of his wlry
shoulders he resumed his position and
his usual grave, attentive attitude. vt
the same moment Loder lifted his head
and began to speak.
Here at the outset his inexperlepcc
met him. His voice, pitched too low,
only reached those directly near him.
1t was a moment of great strain. Eve,
listening intently, drew a long breath
Of suspense and let her fingers drop
apart. The skeptical, watchful eyes
that faced him, line upon line, seemed
to flash and brighten with critical in
terest. Only Fraide made no change OF
expression. He sat placid. serious, at
tentive. with the shadow Of a sni.le be-

gravity Of the popularity of his posi-
ton, and perhaps IL was this uncon-
scious and u%nstudled seriousness that
lent him the tone of weight and judg-
ment so essential to the cause he had
In hand. IL has always been difficult
TO arouse the interest of the house on
matters of British policy in Persia.
Once aroused It may, 1t IL true, reach
fever heat with remarkable rapidly,
but the Introductory stages offer that
worst danger TO the earnest speaker
the dread of an apathetic audience.
But from this consideration Loder. by
his sharp consciousness of personal
difficulties, was given immunity.
Pitching his voice In that quietly
masterful tone that beyond all Others
compcls attention, he took up his sub
ject and dealt with 1t with dispassion-
ate force. With great skill he tnncha"
its own importance bal established h
precision of his forecast.
Infinitely watchful of Russians atti-
tude, Fraide quietly organized his
forces and strengthened his position
with a statesmanlike grasp Of opportu-
nifty, and to LOder the attributes dis
played by his leader during those try
ing days formed an endless and alb
sorbing study. Setting the thought OF
I Chllcote aside, ignoring his own posi-
ton and the risks he daily ran, he had
fully yielded TO the glamour Of the mo-
ment and in the first freedom of a
loose rein he had given unreservedly
all that he possessed Of activity, capac-
ity and determination to the cause that
had claimed him.
Singularly privileged in n constant
personal contact with Fralde, he learn
ed many valuable lessons of tact and
organization in those five vital days
during which the tactics OF q whole
party hung upon one item OF news from
a country thousands OF miles away.
For should Russia subdue the insur-
gent Hazaras and, laden with the hon
ors of the peacemaker, retire across
the frontier, then the political arena
would remain u~ndlsturbed; but should
the all important movement predicted
by Lakelcy become Al accepted fact be-
fore parliament rose for the Easter re-
cess, then the first blow in the fight

session must inevitably be struck. In
