STRAY TOPICS FROM

was over, they all tried the waltz.
Brian showed them some of the diff.

not acquired. A little later Mrs.
Harry Payne whitney gave tea, to
which Brian was invited, and another
waltz rehearsal took place.
The crusade against unnecessary

APPEAL TURNED DOWN.

Messrs. s. Fl. Hapsbrough, Robert
NJ. Ward and N. T. Barton, a subcom-
miltee of the general committee ap-
pointed st massmeetiDg held by the
business men Of Winchester, to pro.
test against the order of the Virginia
Corporation Commission requiring
through service by the Southern Rail-
way over the lines of the Baltimore and
Ohio, and the Southern, from LexiDg-
t)n, t) Alexandra, via Strasburg; and
slsO against the more recent action OF
the commission refusing application Of
he Baltimore and Ohio for an order
permitting it to establish through
schedule OF trains from Lexington, via
5trssburg and Winchester as far as tue
state line, have submitted their case to
the commission.
In their pet ton the representatives OF
Winchester say:
"We respectfully represent that the
city and citizens of Winchester, Va,
feel that In granting the privileges, or
requiring this through service over both
lines of those two railroads from Lexing-
ton, Va, to Alexandra, Va, our cili-
zsos are being Disseminated against TO
their serious disadvantage.
"The effect of these orders, as they
sand, ia manifestly to force the IraVel
and business of The upper valley in one
favored direction, that is to say, to the
] own of Alexandra, or rather through
the town of Alexandria and thence
northwsrd, and to divert II from its
natural channel through the Valley of
Virginia, via Strasburg and Winchester
"Our citizens earnestly insist that
they should he offered. st least, ah equal
opportunity TO secure u this section Of

planned OF, seems 10 be taken away from
them and turned unnsturally into
another channel.

Company Is willing or can lawfully be
required to inaugurate n through sched-
ule from Lexington via StrasDurg, Win
chester, to its northern connections, 1t
would certainly seem that the right to
do 81 should not be denied.
"Both the interests of the company
and The interests of the community, for
which il is the chief carrier, combine in
asking a change Of the orders complained
of, 10 this respect.
"We think thsr sfore, that to the
order of January 2S, 1908, this supple
ment should be made: That what Is
known as the passenger, baggage and
express transfer at Strssburg Junction
shOnld be discontinued and a through
schedule between Lexington, Vs. and
the Virginia and West Virginia State
line, via st-asburg Junction (but not
to inttrare with the existing order re-
quiring all trains of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company % run into
Srrasbure) and Winchester shall be iD
augursted by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company as soon as practicable
and not less than 60 days from the date
of this ORDER"
Judge Prents, of the commission, has
notified the commiltse that the complaint
is not specific enough.

STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE SKY,

STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE SKY.
Dispatches from Berlin say that re-
markable lights were observed in the
northern heavens on Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights, the bright difnsed white
and yellow illumination continuing
throughout the night, until 1t dissp-
peared at dawn. Director Archenhold,
OF the Treptow observatory, says that
because of the phenomena's particular
briliancy he thinks it may be connected
with important changes on the suns
surface, causing electrical discharges.
Director Archenhold, however, mem
tinus q somewhat similar phenomena In
1883, which was directly traceable 10
an outbreak OF the KrAkatos volcano,
10 the Straits Of Sunds. Reports from
Copenhagen and Koenlgsberg tell OF
the ssme great lights being visible in
those cities, aud It Is presumed that
they were visible throughout northern
Europe.

COWBOYS HAD LITTLE
TROUBLE; HORSES TAME.

The wild west show given at Amuse
ment Park yesterday afternoon was
attended by a great crowd of people.
most of whom were disappointed for
the reason that the horses did not
prove to be as wild as anticipated.
The riders had no trouble to speak
of in retaining their saddles, none be
ing thrown and none losing their
seats for the space of a second. -Four
or five of the horses and the mule
pitched across the dot once or twice,
but were content to let their Sders
remain undisturbed after that. Most
of the horses preferred to run rather
than pitch. The show consisted in
roping the various wild horses that
had been collected for the occasion
and in sadding them and riding them
before the grand stand. Every horse
in the community that had a bad rep
ltation was secured for the day, but
none proved bad enough to throw
any of the cowboys that mounted
them. The riders were Ish Shields.
Johnnie Wilson, Willie Babb, Ray
mold Meeks and Lee Drury. Wilson
rode the pitching mule after taking
up a special collection. This was
what might be called the concert
Of the circus, being mainly a joke.
Henry Russell was Judge and gave
the first prize for the best riding to
Lee Drury and second to Shields.
