Fine Organ Recital.

One of the best musical entertainments
which has ever been given in Shepherds
town was rendered in the Lutheran Church
last Friday night by Miss Lillian Myers,
OF York, Pa, assisted by Miss limo
Thompson, of MartinSburg. The pro-
gramme, which consisted of compositions
by the best composers, was ola nature to
please the most fastidious, and Miss
Myers rendition of them was in every
sense perfect. There were ten numbers
on the programme and every one in it,
self was a manifestation OF the skill and
art of the organiSt Possibly the most
beautiful piece Miss Myers played was
the "HumoreSke" by Dvorak. The eX-
preston with which she rendered this Sc
lection was an exhibition of skill which
would be hard to SurpaSS.
Miss Thompson's vocal solos were
beautifully rendered and the fullneSS and
sweetness of her voice can only be ap-
preciated by those who heard her. Miss
Thompson is student at the Peabody
Institute i'll Baltimore and the clearneSs
and ease with which she sang the high
notes were an evidence of the good train
ing she has received.
Miss Myers is pupil of Henry Gordon
Thunder, of Philadelphia, one OF the great
est teachers Of music in this country, and
the result of such training was plainly no.
ticeable IN the manner of her execution OF
the most difficult productions. She grad
uated from Kee Mar College, at Hagers-
town, in music several years ago, and has
since studied the pipe organ and piano
exclusively.
We are sure that we voice the Senti-
ment Of the audience when we say that a
more enjoyable concert has never before
been given in ShepherdStown and we can
assure Miss Myers that she is indeed
worthy of much praise for the delightful
evening which she afforded the music
loving people OF our community, and we
sincerely hope that in the future she may
visit lis again and give us repetition OF
last Friday evenings very enjoyable mu-
steal

Church Dedication.

Earnest labor conquers all things. For
the past four or five years the people on
the east side OF the Shenandoah River at
Fairmont, have been laboring hard to
build church-a fit place in which to
worship their God.
The work was begun during the pas
torate of Rev. r. K. hewitt, now of Shen-
andoah Junction, and was earnestly and
faithfully carried forward by his success
sors, Rev. A. A. p Neil, Jr., and Rev,
Reeves, the present pastor.
The second Sunday in July witnessed
the completion OF the work and the sue
cess of the laborerS. On that day the
little church was formally dedicated.
The church is situated out in Gods
green earth seemingly apart from worldly
affairs. It is neatly painted on the out
side, well ceiled on the inside, amply
lighted, and furnished with comfortable
seats, nice lamps, pulpit altar, railing, and
organ.
Rev. Beery, of Jefferson Circuit,
preached the dedicatory sermon from the
text-"Except the Lord build the house,
they labour in vain that build it," Ps.
t27: /.
II was most excellent sermon, forci-
bly, delivered, and went straight TO the
hearts of his hearers He showed how
nothing could be success unless God
was in it, and told the people that the
mere building of church would not bring
TO them Gods appreciation, for unless He
be in their hearts and lives "they labour
in vain" The ending was most beautiful
and touching as he pleaded with his lis
tenerS that just as they were about to
dedicate their church free from debt, to
dedicate their lives to God free from sin.
AT the conclusion of the sermon Rev.
Reeves praised his people upon their
success in having completed such a
nice neat little church and all free from
debt. Special mention was made OF Mrs.
John A. Clipp, who collected most of the
money land of her husband, who had done
most of the carpentry work. Then he
asked that the people present give $I5
with which to buy carpet, paint the in
side, and fence the lot To this the peo-
pie willingly responded and the required
amount was quickly raised.
The impressive dedicatory service OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church South
was used. The trustees came forward
and knelt at the altar while the dedicatory
prayer was delivered by Rev. Beery.
And thus the little church was dedicated
to the worship of God. May it prove a
blessing to that community for time and
eternity. w.

At meeting of the State Regents OF

for the action is that he claims to have

that institution. The board also decided
to build an addition to the State univer-
sity at cost of $4,000

the Wetzel county, w. Va, jail charged
with robbing store, made his escape
from the Jail by removing all his clothing
from his body, soaping himself from head
10 foot and squeezing through an eight
incn hole through which the prisoners
had been handed their food. His liberty
was of short duration, however, as he
was captured after a few hours.

Good for Shepherd College.

The news that the Board of Regents
had appointed Hon. Thomas c. Miller, OF
Fairmont, w. Va, principal Of Shepherd
College was received in Shepherdstown
last Thursday with the greatest appro-
baton. Shortly after the death OF the Ia
mented Prof. Knutti, various names were
suggested for the vacancy, and the men
ton of Mr.. Miller's name met with in
slant approval from our people. 1t was
agreed that if he should be appointed and
would accept the place il would mean
great things for DIR school, for his repu-
tation would at once commend it to the
people and the good work OF Prof. Knutti
would be augmented.
Mr.. Miller is the best known educator
in West Virginia. As professor in the
West Virginia University he made him.
self a name to be envied, and when from
this position he was called to be State
Superintendent OF Free Schools, it was
promotion in the line Of work to which
his life was devoted. He served as State
Superintendent for eight years, and in
this time accomplished more for education
in West Virginia than any man who had
preceded him. He labored increasingly
for the schools and for the cause and his
labor was not in vain, for both made great
advances during his administration. The
whole school system has experienced the
forward movement, while his personal in
fluence has been felt in every department
of education. He is a scholar and a
Christian gentleman, held in high esteem
by the people of the State generally, in
Guiding our own section, and Shepherd
College is to be congratulated in having
so distinguished an educator at its head.
The promotion of Prof. Walter M.
Duke TO be assistant principal will also be
commended by Our people. Prof. Duke
is graduate of Shepherd College and OF
the West Virginia University, and for the
past couple of years has taught in Shep-
herd College with success. He is regard
ed as a competent and faithful school
man, and he will be a congenial co-work-
er with Mr.. Miller.

Der of years has been assistant principal
of Shepherd College, has been promoted.
AT the meeting of the Board of Regents at
Keyser last Thursday Prof. Muldoon was

that so good a teacher is to be taken from
Shepherd College, at the same time they
are glad that he takes step forward in
school work. Mr.. MuldOon is regarded
as one of the best instructors Our school
has ever had. His energy and ability
should enable him TO increase the useful
