The Martinsburg World says of Judge
Beckswith address delivered at the
opening of the remodeled court house
in that city on Thursday He began by
relating how in l772 by the order of
Governor Dunmore, Of Virginia, Fred
erick county that then extended from
the Potomac river on the north to Au-
gusta county on the south, distance
of about 100 miles, was divided into
three counties. These We're Frederick,
Berkeley and Dunmore, now called She
nandoah. He said that the pioneer set
tiers in that section were hardy and
constructive race of people, living in
constructive period of time. Naturally
then one of the first things constructed
was a courthouse. The speaker said
that courthouse stands for law and
order as well as depository of county
records; that it symbolizes the fact
that all men are equal before the law.
He congratulated the people of Mar
tinsburg on having such beautiful
and spacious courthouse. Mr.. Beck
wlth's address was very able effort
and was well received"

The first case to he taken up was that
of Senator James b Dunoway against
Chas L. Hammond. Mr. Donoway
claimed that Mr.. Hammond owed him
$50 for services. Mr.. Hammond claimed
that the bill had been paid The services
were rendered when the legal status of Mr..
Hammond was one that has no parallel
in legal history. Mr.. Hammond obtained
a divorce from his first wife in this state
and in the meantime the former Mrs.
Hammond sued in the New York courts
for alimony. She won in the lower court
but Mr.. Hammond took an appeal and
the Supreme Court decided in his favor
and remanded the case to the lower
court for new trial The lower court
turned the decision of the higher court
and again awarded alimOny. This is as
we believe, the only case ON record where

Another Raise in Box Rents.

Postmaster Skff has just received no.
tee from the first assistant postmaster
general at Washington that beginning
with January /, 1910, the rent of post
Office boxes will be increased as follows:
Small call boxes, 80 cents per quarter;
small lock boxes, go cents per quarter;
medium lock boxes, % cents Ter quarter
large lock boxes, $l.00 per quarter.
This is a raise of from ten to % cents
over the old prices which have been in
force about two years 1t will be re-
membered that at that time substan-
tal raise was made by the department
Where this increasing of rentals will end
it is difficult to determine, but il would
seem as though the limit was about
reached.
Meanwhile it is up to the patrons of
the Office to pay up and look as pleasant
AS possible under the circumstances, but
it should be remembered that the post
master is not responsible for the raise,
therefore it is not in order to find fault
with him

ment for the destruction of his rival.
The key is so constructed that the
handle may be turned around. reveal
ing Il small spring. which being press
ed a very fine needle is driven with
considerable force from the other end.
This needle is so very fine that the
flesh closes over the wound immediate
ly, leaving no mark but the death Of
the victim is almost instantaneous
