MERRY WIDOWS TOO BIG
Rev. Dame Goes So Far AS 10 say
They Are Unconstitutional.

Merry Widow hats are unconstitu-
tlonal. A man Is guaranteed life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness by
the constitution. No man can be hap
py when anywhere in the vicinity Of
a hat as big as an umbrella
This is what Rev William NJ Dame,
rector OF Memorial Episcopal church
Baltimore said when asked about the
Dig hats and the suggestion of Mr.
Richard j. Biggs that women be re-
auested to take them off in church.
THE hats as big as an umbrella are
the fashion he said, land / reckon
there is nothing more to do about the
matter. There is no use arguing with
woman about her wearing apparel.
In the course of time we may become
more sensible and have the women
wear small head coverings. Maybe
they will wear some little ornament
to obey the Biblical rule that women
shall not appear with uncoverea,
heads in the churches. But then, you
might as we'll argue with a stone wall
us try to Rave them wear smaller
hats. A woman will make all kinds
of fun of her neighbours big hat and
then go and buy one twice as big.
Then she goes walking down the
street with her chin In the air be-
cause of the size of her tErt. There IS
NO use talking about them, 30 use
complaining about them, no use max
ing fun of them--the women want
them and they will wear them Mere
man cannot influence them. the
hope lies in the future"

W. 7. GAVER A CANDIDATE
FOR SECRETARY or THE c. v.
FIREMEN's ASSOCIATION
Martinsburs Man Announces His
Candidacy Today in The Evening
World.

This paper announced few days
! ago that Mr. John A. Rowe, of
Waynesboro, was candidate for pres
ident of the Cumberland Valley volun-
teer Firemen's association, wfrich will
hold its annual convention in Martins
burg on May 20, and that in all prob
ability he will be elected.
Now, Mr. w. T. Gaver, of this city,
announces himself as candidate for
secretary of the association. The
present secretary is Mr. Wellington
Jones, of Harrisburg, who has held the
the Office for the last four or five
years and, though he has been very
efficient officer, many think it is time
for a cnange. If the majority of the
association should think the same
way, better choice, perhaps, could
not be found than Mr.. Gaver.
The gentleman is in every way quail
flied for the position. He is vice pres
ident of Ryneal Co. No. 1, is capable
and enthusiastic fireman and pop
ular and respected in the community
and outside of it. He has been men,
Der of the G. V. association for years.
1t is intimated that the Martfnsburg
delegates to the convention will sup
port Mr.. Rowe for president, and if the
Waynesboro delegates don't return
the favor by supporting Mr.. Gaver.
they won't be doing the fair thing.
AS Chambersburg now has the pres
ident mt A. L. Shaffer), it would
hardly be expected that he secretary
ship will go there
As Waynesboro has never had one
of the officers mentioned and Martins
burg not for years, let it be, it is here
lEugges ted John A. Rowe for president
and w. T. Gayer for secretary of the
Cumberland Valley Volunteer Fire
mems association.

Go. r VIII Soon Be Mustered
Into Service.
FULL QUOTA or SIXTY MEN
Assigned to First Regiment, West
Virginia National Guard-Camp
at Plattsburq, NJ. Y.
at Plattsburg, N. Y.

The military company being organ
lied at this place is at last practically
reality and within short time the
.mustering officer viii be on hand to
gut on the finishing touches.
The application for the company
was forwarded to the adjutant general
of the state, last Monday and the in.
dications are that the company VIII
be mustered into service In the very
near future, by Major Henry S. Lively
who Is wei known in this city. It has
saken considerable work and manoev-
rering to land this company fer the
old Burg there being quite title
opposition from other points where
companies were wanted.
The new company VIII probably be
designated Company f, and will be
ass gned to the First regiment. The
old company that was mustered out
of service several years ago was Co.
y, First regiment.
With the mastering in of this com
pany Martinsburg will have a military
scompany she can point to with pride
and one which will push forward until
the highest grade Of, efficiency is
reached. It Is composed of the very
best material and more enthusiastic
bunch you could not find in day 5
hunt.
General Order No. 16, A. G. o. pro-
vided that from the list of January
ls0S, all members Of the guard wi BIO
paid for attending drills which will be
held once week. This is an innova-
lion that is favored BY all members of
shs guard and will no doubt greatly
stimulate the attendance at weekly
drills. e~
IN addition to this there are other
Inducements to young men to enlis..

MEET in which all participate and
which will be held this year at Plattss

If It Does Not Furnish Money
For BattIeships.
THE PRESIDENT IS AROUSED
Senator Hale Frames 100000 Al
experimentation BattIeship
Fight Sure To Fail.

Washington, April 23.-Presiden,
| Roosevelt has announced to the lead
ers Oh the senate that, should tie sen.
ate pass the naval bill as passed by
the house, providing for the construc
ton OF only two battleshlps, bur with
out making appropriations for them
he viii veto the bill The president
insists that his friends in congress
continue TO fight for the four battle
ships. The prompt announcement of
this fact to the senate leaders yester-
day is regarded as respons. BILE for the
announcement by Mr.. Hale that he
will propose an amendment, appropri-
ating s7,000,000 toward the construc-
ton of these ships so that work may
be begun on them at an early date.
The president stated his pos.ti on
this point with equal emphasis and
suddenness yesterday, upon learning
that the BILL as passed by the house
was simply a paper" provision for
naval increase. Authorization of the
ships was made, but no money appro
priated to make the provision effec-
tive. Such legislation as this, the
president said to his numerous con-
gressional callers, was travesty. and
bore al the ear-marks of legislative
legerdemain intended to make ridicu-
lous his campaign for greater navy.
That the presidents quick and Wig
curious action is to be effective is ev
idenced by the action of chairman
Hale, of the senate naval committee
dn announcing that at the proper time
he Win propose the s7,00Oy000 amend
ment AS to his threat of veto, the
president made it plain that should
the wisdom of congress result In the
passage of bill providing for no ma
val increase whatever, he would have
no ground on which to veto the
measure. Amy attempt at what he
regards as a travesty on Legislation by
authorizing but not appropriating Tor
ships. he declares he WIFI defeat by
the exercise of his constitutional pow
er of veto.
There is not the slightest mdlcatiodS
that the president has ceased MS hgnt
for four new battleships. Senators
who uphold the president in Ids f1sns
an, taiis proposition adndt that after .
careful survey of their strength IN
the senate gives but vote OF 70 IN
aat body in favor of the press dents
naval program for four ships
This indicates that the president
has lost some of his former stannch
in that body. SeifaDor
Lodge is understood to have quit the
fight for the full naval program aa-
yocasedl by the president, and ora one
president his reasons.

Hypnotist Lee PIeases Audience,


 One of the chief features of the enter- tainment offered by Prof. Sylvian Lee, the hypnotist, at the Jefferson theatre all this week is the pleased expression on the faces of the people who go to see him night after night. The crowd last night was one of the largest and most representative of the week and fun reigned supreme from the beginning un- til the end of the performance, which proved to be one of the most successful since the engagement opened. Subjects from all parts of the house volunteered to go upon the stage and the programme was diversified as it was entertaining At no time did interest lag and Professor Lee proved himself to be more than equal to every proposition suggested to him by anyone in the audience. The talk on sug- gestion proved to be instructive and en- tertaining and threw out many new ideas to the hearers. 5f

A H. Woods attraction at the Bijou this week is the sensational melodrama, Convict 999," which has achieved suc- cess with press and public alike wher- ever it has been presented, by reason of it's originality of plot and it's realism. .Convict 999' is an elaborate scenic pro- duction of unusual pretentiousness in four acts and no less than 13 stage settings and Is acted by company of strength. A unique feature Is the presence of O troupe of zouaves who are seen in their daring feats of wall sealing and ladder climbing in the prison breaking scene in the second act of the play The usual performance will be given tonight. There will also be a matinee this afternoon.
