Rostonian Appreciation.

From the New GOrk Times.
DR.. David Starr Jordan told a story
on his last Brooklyn visit of John Muir
leading a cultured Bostonian up the
mountains that overlook the Yosemite
valley. Muir said that he led the Bos-
tonian along devious ways, so that the
great, splendid valley would burst all
on a sudden upon his astonished eyes.
Finally, at a turn of the road, the
vast, multicolored panorama was
spread out before them. The Boston
ian's ejaculation was as sudden as
Muir could desire; but il was this:
We'll, now, how can we get across
thai damn gap?"

And the skillet song, Itself. is growing

A Significant Straw.

That was quite 4 comment on
Republican ridicule of the Demo-
cratic demand for guarantee of
bank deposits which was furnished
by the convention ofPennsylvania
bankers in session at Bedford
Springs last Thursday. The Taft
managers thought the opportunity
too good to be lost for making q
campaign stroke, so they prompted
the introduction of a resolution
cOndemning as vicious and unSOund
that plank in the Denver platform;
never dreaming that the Demo-
cratic policy would have advocates
in an assembly composed alto
gether of bankers and largely
members of the Republican party.
But no sooner was the resolution
read than angry opposition de-
veloped, led by the president of the
leading financial institution of
Pittsburg and backed by the
officials of some of the soundest
banks in the State. So warm and
exciting was the debate. and 50
evident the disinclination of the
body To go on record as antagoniz-
ing the scheme for safeguarding
the people S money, that the author
of the motion was glad to withdraw

Mr.. Moore Injured by Fall.

Hon. a. Moore, Jr. was severe
ly yesterday morning by falling
on one of the terraces in his front
yard and twisting the ligaments of
his leg, hip and back. DR.. Tucker
was quickly summoned and Mr..
Moore was placed in bed. DR..
Tucker says that he does not think
the injury will be of a permanent
nature, but that is extremely
painful.
Mr.. Moore was walking through
the yard and it is supposed that
the dew upon the grass caused him
to lose his footing. with the result
that he fell in a twisted position
with his spine across one of the
edges of the terrace. 1t was a
dangerous fall, and might have
resulted in shattered spine; but
we nope that the INJURY Will be
found only slight and that the
patient will soon recover.
Mr.. Moore had promised to de-
liver the principal address al
the Bryan and Kern Club meeting
on Saturday, but is now more
than likely that some other speaker
will have to be substituted, on &C
count of his injury.

morning, and the attendance and
enrolment thus far is exceedingly
encouraging and gratifying to the
friends of the School.
Practically all Of this week will

number of changes have been made
in the books used in the various
grades, although the books in the
High School department remain
the same.

flying to the teachers. as many Of
the new pupils have heretofore at
tended other schools.

4 Spectacular Blaze.

The frame residence in Jose
phine City, owned by the estate of
the late Mahala Williams, and oc-
cupid by Paul Williams, was COM
pletely destroyed Saturday night
by a fire which is said to have
originated in an overturned lamp.
Shortly after I O'Clock the alarm
of fire sounded, but the house was
old and as dry as tinder, and was
practically a mass of flames before
the firemen could reach the scene.
The new church being erected
by the colored people of the Bap-
tist faith, which is located on the
adjoining lot, was in danger for
awhile, but the arrival of the fire
fighters saved that structure. The
church building was badly scorched
and several windows we're broken
by the intese heat. The loss falls
upon the contractor, who has not
yet completed the building and
turned it over TO the congregation.
Located as it was upon a high
hill, the blazing house lighted up
the entire surrounding section, and
was spectacular in the extreme.

Board of Trade Organized.

The public meeting which was
held at the Courthouse last Thurs
day evening at 80 O'Clock resulted
IN the organization of the Berry
vile Board of Trade.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Blackburn Smith, and Mr..
John b. Neill was made Secretary.
Mr.. Smith stated briefly that
the purpose of the meeting was
the organization of Board of
Trade for the Town Of Berryville:
that such an organization was badly
needed TO advertise the advantages
of the Town; that similar organiza-
tions IN neighboring towns had
resulted advantageousIy to the
towns, and asked for expressions
from those present as to manner
of procedure etc.
After remaks by number of
l"ading citizens it was, on motion.
resolved to proceed at once with
the organization, and to that end
all Interested were requested to
~igu - PAPER Nignifying their will

community were quickly enrolled.
The following officers were then
elected for the ensuing year:
President, w. 4. Macomb.
Nice-President, d. II. Jones.
Secretary-Treasurer, J. W. Bar
ringer.
On motion, it was decided to
name an Executive Committee of
Ten, and the following were
elected: j. Ed. Ogden. W. T.
Lewis, f. G.. Coiner. Louis
Scheuer, John b. Neill. j. ID.

Jones, NJ. B. Pulliam and r. :. b.
Smith.
Messrs. j. w. Barringer. j. r.
l.. Jones, Eugene Glover and John
b. Neill were appointed COM
mittee to solicit new members.
1t is expected that the new Board
of Trade will do much to advertise
the advantages of the Town and
to secure new enterprises and re-
sidents for the Town: and it iS be-
lieved that the officers and the
executive committee represent the
most progressive element of the
Town.
1t is more than probable that the
Executive Committee will, in a
short time, draft a plan for the
purpose of laying the advantages
of the Town before prospective
business men in an attractive form.
and the best results are expected
to accrue from the work of the
new body.
