WAS A QUIET SUNDAY.
BUT DRUG AND NEWS STORES
WERE OPEN AS USUAL.
Tobacco and Confectionery Places
Closed as Tight as Wsx--News-
paper Agent Here.

As a result OF the Sunday closing
movement here. the tobacco and coz
fectionery stores were closed as tight
as wax on Sunday. while the drug and
news stores confined their sales to
the lines that have not been put under
the ban by the authorities. The drug
stores sold drugs and filled prescrip-
tons as usual, while The news stores
sold only papers. The agents distribut-
cd their papers as on former Sundays,
and there was no one to gainsay them.
An interesting incident in connec-
ton with the effort 20 stop the sale
of Sunday papers came to light Sat
urday. when representative of Phil
adelpha paper came here to see that
his paper was offered for sale as usual
Finding that his local agent proposed
to sell the papers on Sunday, he return
ed to Philadelphia. While here he de-
clared that he came for the purpose
of selling his papers IN person, II the
local agent did not care to do so. and
was prepared to be arrested and fined
and then to carry the case to the state
supreme court in the interest Of his pa
per He found that this would not be
necessary, however.
II Is believed that the movement
against Sunday selling has come to -
end and that the newsdealers. milk
men. icemen and others who Distribute
what are classed as necessities will
not be molested in their business,
The law cannot be said to be a popu-
lar one, and II is altogether probable
that It will be relegated to state OF
innocuous desuetude in Martinsburg,
except In extreme or fragrant cases.

Other Great Games Will Be Arranged
During the Preliminary Practice
Work of Altoona.

Secretary w. A. Breth, of the Mar
tinsburg Aethletic club, received a tel
ephone message from the president of
the Altoona (Pa.) Tri-State base ball
club to the effect that the opening

ton National league team. The Tri-
State team will arrive in Martinsburg

The coming of the Altoona club will
prove of great benefit TO the local man
agement as it will serve to arouse the
base ball fever in this city and pave
the way for good club to represent
Martinsburg this. season. The mem
bers of the club, about % in number
will remain here about three weeks,
and will return to Altoona for the OPP
ening of the league season, about
April 90 Games will be arranged with
one or two other National and Ameri-
can league teams, as well as with all
the strong independent and college
clubs in this section.
The local management has offered
every inducement to secure the AL
toona club, and it was chiefly through
the efforts of Secretary Broth that the
club will be brought here for its pre-
liminary training work. 1t is hoped
that they will be so well received that
they will make Martinsburg their reg.
.ular training ground each spring.

Il Need Not by Any Means Point to

great worry and fright to the laity as

The Sunken Rock and the Legend OF

After the hole had been mended the
nigel vanished, and St Patrick con-

lived so long that his tusks protruded
from his mouth like horns. This mon
