The county court met in special ses-
sion Friday to talk over the matter
OF remodeling the court house and to
consider such plans as might be pre-
scented by architects. The morning

proposed improvements but no defin-
lite conclusion was reached as to just
what those Improvements should be,
except in more or less general way.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Frank
p. Milburn, a Washington architect
was present. and showed the commits
sioners photographs of several court
houses in various parts of the country
that he had planned and built. He
then gave tha court a two-bours talk
and the upshot of 1t was that he was
selected to make several sets of de-
signs and specifications from which
the court will make a selection. the
court indicating, as far as possible,
abott what is wanted to make a new
building out Of an old one.
The court appointed Architect Geo.
D. WIlitson, of this city, as superintens
dent of construction and TO supervise
the work in general and to see that
the plans and Specifications adopted
are fully complied with
Now that the county court has chos-
en- architect to make the drawings for
remodeling the court house, the first
step has been taken for one OF the
most important public Improvements
undertaken in Berkeley county for
years and 1t will not be long before
the work is under way. The public
will await with keen interest a de-
scription of the final plans and the
probable cost of the work proposed.
The county court, as committee OF
viewers, reported favorably for a
steel bridge over Back Creek, near

tract will soon be let and the work

CAT STEALS RIDE
Put of Baltimore and Ohio Freight
Train But Hoped On
Again.

That hoboes and some other people
will steal rides on railroad trains
when they get a cilance Is q we'll
known fact, but seldom il ever per-
haps, has a cat been guilty OF this
lawless act. yet such thing occurred
Sunday on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.
AS an eastbound freight train was
about to PUN out of Keyser early Sun
day morning large spotted cat was
noticed sitting on the truck of a car
near the engine. The cat was chased
from his perch ana the train started.
When Patterson's Greek was reached
the cat was still on board the train
and again was chased off. The same
thing was tried by ONE OF the crew at
Green Spring and Magnolia. bit every
time the train pulled out from the
station the four-legged hobo would
hop up on the truck When the train
got to Sir Johns Run the conductor
said that cat showing such persis-
tency in gaining free ride ought to
be allowed to do so, and SO ne rode to
the Martinsburg yards where he dis
appeared. having come to his jour
neys end and. doubtless, his horne.
Conductor Eutzy and Engineer Bar
rick, of the train, vouch for the truth
fitness of the above story, which is a
remarkable example OF animal in
stinct.

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR

The best rule about bringing UP
your children IS not to have any.
Half the time the reason girl
wants to marry a man is he doesn't
want her to.
Anyway, 4 woman does as we'll at
obeying her husband as he does at
cherishing her.
There never was a thin woman who
would admit that she was that way
all over.
You don't find any widows willing
to BELIEF that lightning will never
strike twice in the same place.

A constitutional lawyer of exceptional ability 1t was said of him by Senator Orville H. Platt of this state, when he resigned from the upper chamber of congress, that the country could not afford to lose his services In honoring such men as MT. Morgan, Mir Barnard, Mir Stevens and Mir. Spooner, Yale uni- versity again lives up to her democratic powers of discrimination.
 Late last night two other names were added to the list of those that are to be honored
 The degree of LID. Is to be con ferred upon Samuel J. Elder, '73, dis tinguished lawyer of Boston and a del- egate to the recent republican conven- tion in Chicago.
 The other man Is William Kent, Yale Sl, of Chicago who is distinguished for his interest in the conservation of American forests and other national re- sources. Some time ago he bought large tracts of california timber land and turned them over to the govern ment. He was also a leader in the Chi cago municipal reform movement. An M.

HILLS NEW HOMESTEAD.
John St. Lawrence Runs Both the
 Old and the New,

The cut on this page shows the An santawae as remodeled by MT. St, Lawrence and now opened for guests,
 On the left of the building Is the driveway to side entrance. It con tlnues back to the large auto garage (holding twenty or more autos). tho carriage-house and stable, and auto supply station, which Is in charge of an expert chauffeur and mechanic. The stock includes all kinds of auto supplies.
 On the right Is shown the new dln- ing room and veranda. This is an ideal summer dining hall-windows opening on three sides, with broad verandas front and end, and keeping up the Idea and sentiment of the Old Homestead. The old Hill grape vine has been replanted and promises to thrive In It's new abode.
 On main floor front is the regular dining hall, with beautiful hand painted frieze, depicting scenes in Germany. France, Holland, Sicily Russia. Ireland and New York city. Back of this on the side Is a gentle- mems Dutch barroom. There is also one large party dining room on this floor and the various other rooms in- cident to the needs of hotel, fine kitchen, large ice-box, etc, all modern and complete.
 The ladies' parlor is on second floor to the left of stairway-beautifull | furnished, nice wash-room adjoining and fine outlook from windows and veranda. Lady touring parties will find 1t desirable adjunct while awaiting dinners. On this floor are also three large party dining rooms. On the third or upper floor are the living apart ments of Mir, St. Lawrence and family,
 It is Mir. St. Lawrence's intention, at the end of this season, 10 remove the old original Hills Homestead to his large lawn on the east or right of pie ture. It is purely matter of sentiment. It will be used then for occasional par ty dinners. Up 10 that time its cuisine and service will be kept up to it's pres ent standard-when 1t goes 1t will go with honor.
 The new Hills Homestead is one of the most beautiful locations on the west shore. The surroundings are quiet and spacious. and the outlook over the harbor exceptionally fine. The entire waterfront is clear. with the exception of the long pier belonging to the house, which will be reserved for guests as a promenade.

likely he might not reach the national capital until Monday morning,
 At the conference with the president Secretary Taft and his successor, Gen, Wright, will consider pending matters before the war department and In ad- dltlon the secretary will discuss with President Roosevelt the selection of republican national chairman,
 The change In his plans made nec- essary by the presidents attendance upon the boat race was quite satisfac- tory to Secretary Taft, as he desires to meet in conference some friends in New York city on Friday, He prob ably will go to New York on Friday morning, Whom he will meet there has not yet been disclosed, but 1t Is certain that the conference will relate to the selection of chairman of the republican national committee Sec retary Taft has Indicated his desire to obtain from republican leaders and his own Intimate political friends a consensus of opinion as to the selec- ton of chairman. 1t Is not unlikely that he may meet Frank H. Hitch cock, the Washington manager of his preliminary campaign for the nomn- ation, as 1t Is known that 1t is Mir, IIitchcock's intention to come east for at least q brief vacation.
 The secretary said last night that he expected to take dinner with some friends in New York on Friday night. At that dinner 1t is assured that the national chalrmanship will be consic cred In all its phases. The secretary indicated definitely that no intimation of an announcement concerning the selection of a chairman would be made until after the meeting of the sub committee of the national com mittee in Washington on the first of July.
 T am not discussing politics these days" said the secretary, laughingly "I am here to enjoy myself and for the next three or four days shall be once more purely a Yale man."
 With all the joy of an photographic ate and all the dignity of a member of the corporation Secretary Taft has entered into the formal exercises and informal festivities incident to com. mencement week at his alma mater He has been asked to dine and to de- liver addresses on numberless occas. ions during the week, but has beer compelled to decline many of the in- vltatlons on account of lack of time.
 'I am not omnipresent," he re- marked, although I should like to b' for commencement week"
 During his stay here MT Taft has been given the use of John Da! Jackson's automobile, and to-day vii probably ride out to the game in 1t.
