CaStleman and Payne Reelected

Supt. John r. Castleman. of the
Charles Town road, and W. L.
Payne, toll-cOllector of the Castle
mans Ferry bridge, were re-
elected at the Monday meeting of
the Board Of Supervisors.
Against both of these officials there
developed some opposition. Su-
pervisOr Grigsby opposed the re-
election of Mr.. Payne. He con
tended that while he does not con-
slider Mr.. Payne in any way dis
honest the receipts from the
CaStleman'S Ferry bridge should
show larger returns in comparison
with the Berry's Ferry bridge.
there being only 4 difference of
5000 between the collections ut the
two bridges. He thougot the Cas-
tleman bridge should show much
larger receipts than the other
bridge, as the travel Is about four
times as great over it, and the fac'
it is not much larger. Mr.. GrigSby
held, was due To miSmanagement
and a new man should be toll-col-
lector. When the vote was taken
it stood a tie MeSSrS. Pierce and
Barnett voting for Payne, and
Grigsby and Carver against
Major Moore, the tie breaker
of the board, voted for Payne, ans
he was duly reelected.
The reelection of Mr.. Castle
man as Superintendent of H.,
Charles Town road. When Mr.
Castleman finished filing his report
Mr.. Grigsby complimented it anl
promptly nominated him for re
election. He said he understood
there would be opposition. Al
eyes turned on Supervisor Barnett,
He said he had heard some of the
patrons of the road say they would
Ike 10 have Josiah Mcdonald fol
Superintendent. Mr.. Grigs b y
promptly responded We'll. let
your patrons come in and say So. '
One thing led To another until Mr..
/ CaStleman made statement.
/ which implicated Superintendent
Harry Warden, of the Frederick
4 Clarke Telephone Company a
the one leading the fight on him
for reelection. Mr.. CaStlemau
said that Mr.. Warden was mad
because he had made him remove
telephone pole, which had not
beer placed near enough the fence.
= MIR. Barnett insisted, however,
: that he had heard complaints about
the condition of the road from
other patrons. but finally vote
was taken and Mr.. CaStleman wa.
reelected without candidat,
being placed against him. Boil
elections resulted in heated argu

and friend.
DR.. Williams was for years sem

in Hanover, and often a delegate
to the Episcopal Councils, and wss
also a Mason. He married Miss
Wilanna Overton Pollard, of
Buckeye" Hanover county, dur
ing the last year of the war. He
was Confederate officer, being at
tached to the staff of General J. T..
Il. Stuart, and was near General
Stuart when the latter was killed.
He had lived i'm Hanover county
ever since the war. except few
years in Tennessee and Maryland.
He was an activc, practicing ply
sician for over forty five Years.
He was one of the old time ccur try
practitioners.
He was never known To decline
to respond to a call ON his profcs-
sionsl services, regardless Of
weather, night or day. The poor
of his neighborhood were we'll at
tended, the question of compensa-
tion never being considered. his
motto being to relieve the dis
tressed." " He was generally eS-
teemed for his high character,
charity and modesty. His cheery
laugh aided in curing many case
where medicine seemed not to
reach.
He leaves three sons, j. NJ.

Miss Agnes and her brother
William were badly burned, and
also cut by glass, in futile endeav-
orS to reach their father in the
burning building.
The latest account of his tragic
death indicates that DR.. Williams
went into the room, trying to locate
the flames, and was sufrocated be-
fore the flames, which minute
later, completely enveloped this
room from floor To ceiling, struck
him.
The flames were famed by the
severe windstorm of Monday night.
and in less than twenty minutes
the dwelling was consumed, to-
gether with its contents.
SOrrowing friends secured from
the ruins only few charred bones
and the heart of the noble physi-
clan, which we're buried beside his
wife.

White Lead. They then set about
familfartzing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity

Old Idea Revived.

A pretty way of trimming muslin
and lace frock is by heading the deep
insertion Of lace on the skirt (the band
OF dentelle so beloved of Paris) with a
beading wide enough to admit a soft
satin ribbon, some two or three inches
In width, this ribbon being threaded
through it at intervals of about a foot
tied into pretty bows, but these are
not left on level with the beading.
They are pulled through so that the
bow hangs down over the lace, the it,
tie ends having a ball of floss silk to
finish them off, with bunch of fringe
falling from the center of each ball.
These loosely hanging bows look very
quaint against the lace BACKGROUND.

To Hear About the "Burninq Issues" !"

of course, all confidence men are not
politicians. Needless to say, no sug-
gestiOn is here made to Statesmen"
These gentlemen do not mix with vul-
gar municipal politics, but get elected
to senatorial and other Offices and
never get their names mixed up in any
scandal save one bet1tting their hon
orable positions. Politics loOsens the
action of the pecuniary nerve, for no
successful politician can be tight
wad." He may think he can be eco
nomical, but he can't be. He may fig
ure on what it is going to cost as to
main outlay, but "perQuisites'' will eat
him up quicker than nitric acid will
cook an angleworm The hardened
professional politicians know this only
too we'll, and the result implants in
their bosoms pardonable curiosity
in the question of what there is in it
for them if any political proposition
is unfolded to their longing gaze.
Politics as profession has evolved
the boss" He is not always the
coarse creature of the cartoonists
fancy, nor the devouring lion of the
muck-rake romancer. Often he
dresses elegantly, and quite often he
is gentle-spoken and of few words at
that. He just controls the delegates" !"

FROckS FOR THE TUB.
Blue and Brown GaIatea Among the
Best Of Materials.

Among the cheapest of the good
looking tub jumper frocks are those
made of blue and brown galatea. The
material sells at a very small price
everywhere and washes like collar.
1t comes in good tones that do not
show soil and comes out of the tub
without being faded
Linen makes charming ones, but
every woman does not care to afford
many linen frocks. The good quality
is the only one worth buying, and a
frock of it amounts up.
When girl feels she can afford
only one, she should get it in rose
pink or nile green in order that it may
be dressy enough for afternoon wear.
This is the ideal costume for church
this summer, at home or on a vaca-
tion.
The reason most of these materials
were not comfortable before for sum-
mer frocks was because of their heat
around the neck and arms.

WAY TO MAKE NEAT HEM.
Accomplishment Few Women Seem ia
Have at Command.

1t is really surprising how few wo-
men know how to make neat hem,
although this was considered a neces-
sary accomplishment in the days of
our grandmothers. 1t is used to finish
the raw edges Of goods and it is most
important that it be evenly and neatly
turned down; always turn it toward
you. To do this, turn down one-quar-
ter of an inch all along the edge and
baste it on the crease with even bast-
ing stitches.
Take stiff piece of cardboard and
mark on 1t the exact width of the
hem. Place the edge of the creased
cardboard at the creased edge of the
goods and mark the desired width
with a thread, using the short and
long basting stitch. Fold the hem on
this line of thread and baste to the
material along the upper edge with an
even basting. In hemming do not use
knot. Hold the hem across the end
of the forefinger of the left hand.
Point the needle toward you, to the
right, and insert 1t under the edge Of
the hem close t0 the right, hand. Draw
the needle through, leaving an end
of the thread to be tucked under the
| edge.
To begin the hemming stitch, point
the needle toward the middle OF the
left thumb and take up one thread of
the cloth and the same of the fold. To
have the thread slant in the right di.
rection, see that each time a stitch is
taken that the needle points directly
across the middle of the left thumb
To have the hem appear we'll when
finished care must be taken to have
the distance between each stitch ex.

A Betting jumper.

Embroidered linen betting, in white
and color, may be bought by the yard,
and very clever little lady has used
it to make herself a jumper A double
thickness over each shoulder, from the
waist line in the front to the waist line
in the back, is the foundation of the
garment, while few strips across the
back and front give the whole a very
jumper-like appearance.
The four loops at the waist line
formed by the shoulder straps are used
to slip the belt through, so, when it is
worn with white skirt and blouse,
the effect is of one of the popular one
piece dresses.
1t is Just such an arrangement that
makes it possible to wear a blouse and
skirt without coat.

Novelty in Skirts.

The really new" skirt, which we

front from bust to ankles, the ten
deocy of the lines being to mount
to- ward the back, perhaps crossing
over obliquely there and ending under
a buckle on one hip, or at the shoulder
