Nearly 5000 persons, men and women
of all conditions from apparent prosper
ity TO evident poverty, gathered in front
Of the offices of the Civil Service COM
mission in Washington on Saturday TO ap-
ply for blanks for the examination OF such
mental positions in the government SER
vice there as char-women, cleaners, Ia
borers and other humble positions which
pay from 50 to sl2 per week. Many OF
those in line were apparently men and
women of education. The mob OF hun
CRY and almost desperate men and women
who gathered Saturday was a revelation
OF want and suffering in the capital OF the
nation, which surprised the authorities.

Baseball Warming Up.

An interesting game Of baseball was
played here last Saturday between Shep-
herd College and St. James College teams,
the visitors winning by score of 2 to l..
The weather was rough and the audience
small. Features of the game were the
spectacular catching OF difficult flies by
Unseld and the good pitching OF Athey,
who struck out fifteen men. Cuttings
and Grove were the battery for st. James
and Athey and Gardiner for Shepherd
College. Hits were scarce, Athey giving
one and Cuttings two.
Today Thursday Shenandoah juno
ton will send in the best team that has
represented that metropolis for years.
They trounced Bolivar last week and are
after our scalps this time, 1t only costs
Is cents to see the struggle from inside
the grounds. Saturday Berryville will
be here with the usual snappy aggrega-
ton, and battle royal is expected.
Game called at 800 on Thursday and 80
on Saturday.
The local baseball situation is begin
ming to get into first-class shape. The
prospects for winning team are excel
lent. A number OF men with ability were
on the field yesterday, and daily practice
will be the rule from now on. The man.
ager is trying TO arrange game for next
Friday, May Ia, with some nearby team.
All candidates are expected to be on the
field this evening at $50.
Season tickets are on sale, calling for
ten games, price Sl.0O. Get yours before
next Friday. ]. D. Muldoon, Manager.

The Passing of the Red Cedar Chest.


Ii was bulky, cumbersome piece OF
furniture at the best, and far from being
infallible. Moths would keep away from
your clothes and furs if you were sure to
put them in the chest before the first moth
made its appearance, but, as this was
seldom or never done because of the
changefulness Of our climate, many have
been the bitter disappointments upon
bringing out winter flirs and clothing upon
the approach OF cold weather.
Considered from physical standpoint,
it is dangerous thing to put away your
winter wraps too early, and from finan-
cial standpoint it is dangerous thing not
to get them away early enough.
Red Cedar Flakes, the modern scienti-
fic combination of the best known moth
preventives, today makes it possible for
one to take the proper care of their winter
wraps and know that they will be in prop
er condition when wanted
Red Cedar Flakes have none of the dis
advantages of the old cedar chest and
have more than all OF its good points, be-
cause this preparation is manufactured
from Red Cedar sawdust in combination
with those things that have proven to be
good moth preventives. They are FAR
superior to any other preventive in that,
instead Of the goods being merely sur
rounded with Red Cedar wood, the Red
Cedar Flakes may be distributed through
out the garments and thus gwen absolute
protection. They have an agreeable, re-
freshing odor of Red Cedar, which IS easI-
ly removed from the goods by hanging
them for an hour or two in the open air.
They are Clearly, effective and conyen-
lent. Put up and sold in packages at iOc
each. Remnants Pharmacy.

A Remarkable Sale.

A KeHldTkdDlC SdiSs
The sale Of the personal effects of the
late Joseph E. Engle near Shenandoah
Junction last Thursday attracted one Of
the largest crowds ever seen at public
sale in this county. Men, women and
children from every section of this county
and from Berkeley were present, every
body interested in the thousand and one
articles offered for SALE Mr.. Engle and
his father before him had accumulated a
remarkable lot OF stuff-household goods,
farm implements, carpenter and black
smith tools, supplies of various sorts, etc.
M. P. Crowl was the auctoineer and he
was assisted by T. ]. West. Most OF the
articles sold brought big prices, and al
though there were many that were en-
tirely useless, buyer was found for every
article offered Mr.. Engle, evidently,
never threw anything away. When an
article became unserviceable it was put
away and new one bought in its place.
For instance, there were about twenty
five coffee-pots in the house. When the
coffee-po. in use got leaky, it was put
away in the .ganet and another bought,
which in time was also stored away. The
same thing seemed to be true of farming
machinery. Although Mr.. Engle had up
to-date implements, he also preserved all
the old ones, and there were ancient tools
and machinery that had been discarded a
half century or more ago. There were
many fine chickens, and they brought as
high as $l.15 each. The sale was con-
Quoted by ]. B. Osbourn, the executor of
the will.

Is Natural Gas Coming Soon?

Is Naturdi 0dS SOhihS oooh'
There is reason to believe that the con-
struction of a pipe line for natural gas
by the Interstate Natural Gas Company
may be commenced within very short
time. This company, it will be recalled,
recently secured franchises from NUM-
Der of towns and counties, including Shep-
herdstown, Martinsburg and other places
between Weston and Baltimore. News
comes from Pittsburg that the Standard Oil
Company, which is said to be behind the
enterprise, has asked for estimates for a
3OO-mile natural gas line, and the state
ment is made that the order for the vast
amount of steel pipe needed will be placed
within few weeks.
II is presumed that the gas to be piped
will come from the Lewis county gas
field, and that it will be brought through
this State and pass through the Eastern
Panhandle on the way to Washington and
Baltimore. The aim of the company is
to put the natural gas into these cities, and
on the way tap as many OF the larger
towns as possible.
The building of pipe line 300 miles in
extent is recognized as great undertake
ing, and will require large sum OF mon
ey and considerable length oftime. The
mountainous country through which it
will have to pass and the limestone rid
ges of the Shenandoah Valley are no trif-
ling obstacles to overcome, but the STAN
dard Company has the money and the
men, and stops for nothing when its plans
are once made.
We hope that the reports that work is
soon be begin are true and that Shep-
herdstown may enjoy the luxury and
comfort of natural gas at an early date.

A dispatch from Mersina, Asiatic Tur-
key, says that city is under martial law
and the Turkish authorities are maintain
ing order. The river that empties into
the Sea at Mersina still carries the bodies
OF dead Christians from the scenes OF the
massacres. Among the CHASTITY burdens
of the streets was the mutilaied body OF a
woman, nailed to a cross. American
missionary property at kessab has been
destroyed by the Moslems. II is as yet
impossible TO reach any accurate estimate
OF the number killed during the disorders.
The lead producers are about to form a
trust, and prices will go up about 30 per
