source Of regret not only to the resi-
dents OF Martinsburg. but to many
citizens OF the state. Scarcely ever
has a young man brought himself to
such a high standing in the commu-
nity as did Mr.. Lindsay. His per-
gonal magnetism and mis- untiring per
severance gained for him a reputation
that might well be envied. The way
was open for him t. go on and I'D
and be a leader among the people Of
his county and state, but the posi-

was cut off and his death has brought
an end to a are which had in IL

The Flight of Birds.

To the average observer OF the
flight of birds everything Is deceptive.
To compare the flight Of a large bird
with a smaller one is especially so.
The cormorant of the sea coast seems
to be a slow flier, yet he does a mile
in n minute and ten seconds. The
honey bee seem to travel like a bull
let, yet it takes him two minutes to
fly one mile. The humming bird
does not fly as fast as many slow
Tapping birds OF ungainly bulk The
quail appears to get away 0 rap
lily than does the mallard but he
'ces not do it.

MR.. ANSWER

Hon. George c. Sturgiss member of congress from the Sec
ond district, has replied to Chairman Matthews tnpudent de-
mand, that he declares himself for Swlshec, In language that
leaves no mistake as to Mr.. Sturgiss attitude. Plainly and en-
phaucauy ne says that he is a candidate for a national Office
and on national issues; that It is not only not his duty to be-
come involved in the local diff cuties in West VIRGINIA but it
is his duty to avoid such difficulties
M. Matthews has not seen fit tonake Mr. stureiss, nsUer
public, but here is a part Of it:
The national committee and the national congressional com
mhtee will probably pass upon the question whether the names
OF the Taft electors and the republican nominees for congress
snail be permitted to go on the Scherr ticket or not. and until
action shaAl be taken by one or both OF those bodies it would
be premature for congressional candidates to pass upon the ques-
ton. These candidates were regularly nominated upon national
issues, and not state nratters, with which their official duties have
nothing to DO, and before the conventions were held that nomi-
mated MT. Swisher and Mr.. Scherr.
Both these gentlemen, their committees and supporters are
Taft republicans and desire his election, and Just as earnestly
desire that he shall be supporte ed by a republican congress-, and
ahould be glad that the electors and congressional candidates get
as large majortties as possible, whether the votes come from
Swisher or Scherr followers, democrats or prohbtionists.
mo state issues are involved in the election of Taft and
Sherman, or Of congressman. and no national issues are involved
in the contest between swisher scnerr. The voters will not be
deceived or mised as to the line of separation between state and
national issues and tickets.
Every republican should desire to limit the differences that
unfortunately divided the party to the state ticket, without
widening it 50 as to threaten the national Or congressional tick

WAS WELL ATTENDED
Athletic Events at the Young Mems
Christian Association Saturday
Night Were Well Attended.

The Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium was al
most filled with spectators to wit
ness the athletic events scheduled for
Saturday night, and judging from the
vociferous applause that proceeded
from the gallery there was not an I'M
interesting moment during the whole
entertainment.
The opening event was the glove
contest between Mr. viii Keller and
Mr.. Jas. Green, who We're evenly
matched in every respect. The con-
test lasted for three rounds of two
minutes each, with an intermission of
one and one-half minutes. Judges
were not selected and no record kept
of the points made. 1t is therefore
impossible to say who had the best of
the match.
The girls basket ball game was per-
haps the most interesting feature of
the program, participated in by the
girls of the high school and the girls
of the grammar school department.
Everybody was surprised at the swift
manner in which the girls handled the
ball In many respects they play as
good game as the boys and all are
agreed that basket ball is not entirely
boys game. While their game was
not so rough and spectacular as that
played by, the boys later in the eve
ming, still they played splendid
game, resulting in a score of 3 to 2
in favor of the grammar school girls.
Mr.. Earl Maughmer won in the
cempetitiye athletic event. clearing a
distance OF 80 feet and 10 inches in
the running hop, skip and jump. Mr..
NJ. R. Shelton was second, with rec
ord of 80 feet and inches, and Mr..
Robert Crawford was third, making 80
feet.
The basket ball games between the
league teams were swift and very ex-
citing. The Painters won over the
Cubs by score of to 5, while the
Tigers won by margin of one score
over the Sand Crabs, the game stand
ing IL to 10.
The proceeds from the entertain
ment will be applied on new symna-
stun apparatus.

Fads and Fashions.
BY Florence Fairbanks.

cloth and the wings extending over
them of black satin. This form of red
ingote is quite sure of continued favor
during the winter, even after the ul-
ira styles from Paris have established
themselves. The skirt is made per-
fectly tight, opening at the side
back under coarst stitching of black
One seam is turned over another and
decorated with small black crochet
buttons. Some of the tight-fitting
skirts accompanying the redingote
have bias seam down the front, but
these are usually a sad failure, as
they are sure to sag at the sides, and
the grand chic of the short skirt is
to have it hang evenly all around.
Many of the new skirts are faced for
ten or twelve inches with silk, but
no lining is used and no petticoat is
worn with them, if the owner wishes
to follow the dictates of fashion.
Paris milliners have introduced the
new fad of pertaining the hats with
the scent of the flowers with which
they are decorated. AS this is flow
er year in millinery, and the differ
ent kinds of perfume are easily OBJ
tanned, the fad is becoming quite pop
ular. 1t is not probable, however, that
| it will last long, as it is sure to be
overdone
Soutache braid is used as much as
ever but it is arranged on fabrics in
new designs. Every one is quite de-
lighted with the Egyptian patterns,
for they give character to frock and
are easy to do. Old bIouses of chit
fon cloth, which is more exclusiSal
than net, are covered with soutaehe
patterns in the form of Egyptian hero
glyphics and the effect is invariably
pleasing and attractive.
Extremely large hats are no longer
used by smart dressers of good taste
and conservative ideas. They are af
fected mostly by women of the stage
and those anxious to initiate their
style for the purpose of being con-
spicuous. Among the women of re-
finement toques are far more popular
at present than big hats. These toques
are rather large, but there is decid-
ed tendency to diminish their size.
A great deal of marabout Is used,
although of course, not the very fine,
real marabout, which is too delicate a
material of which to make hats.
Barocque pearls are often used as
trimmings on large hats, and on
toques they are placed all around the
crown and on the edge.
Wings are so arranged that they
stand straight up. Ostrich plumes in
white, faced with gray, or white faced
with blue, are much enjoyed as trim
ming for swansdown or black fox
toques.
1t is extremely fad form to wear
soft crushed silk girdle with plain
tailored shirtwaist. A stitched belt,
matching the skirt, should be worn
with it, or plain leather belt not
over an inch and half in width.
