Comus Items.

The Comus school closed with a grand
repast, both mental and alimentary but
that which seemed most enjoyable by both
trustees and patrons was the consent OF
the teacher, Miss Bartgis. to teach the
school another year.
To the call of the trustees Miss Bartgis
made brief address. in which she stated
that her success in teaching came not so
much in her experience and capacity as
in winning the hearts of the children by
kindness. She said she had done her best
to aid the members Of her charge in their
scholastic work, which was undoubtedly
true. if we are to judge from the hearty
applause she received on making the state
ment

who spent several days at the home of Mr.

An Allowance of $3.50 Granted.

Judges Henderson and Motter, in the
Circuit Court. have passed decree grant
ing to Mrs. Katherine Seager Offutt, of
Washington, an allowance of $3.50 year
for life out of the estate of her late hus-
band. Luther Mortimer Offutt, who was a
well-known farmer of Potomac district,
this county.
Mr.. Offutt died several years ago, leav-
ing an estate valued at about $4,000.
He bequeathed to Mrs. Offutt the property,
but the Orphans Court refused to admit
the will to probate on the ground that it
was not witnessed and was otherwise le-
eally deficient. Mrs. 0ffutt instituted pro-
ceedings in the Circuit Court against the
administrators and produced as testimony
letter from Mr. Offutt in which he pro-
missed to provide for her for life if she
would marry him. 1t was sworn by Mrs.
Offutt that the marriage which followed
was in consideration of the promise con-
tanned in the letter. The Court of Appeals
held the letter was valid contract.
Mrs. Offutt was represented by Robert B.
Peter. while Edward C. Peter represented
the heirs at law. Before her marriage Mrs.
Offutt was Miss Katharine Seager, of Wash

A Glorious Treat.

The closing of Miss Marie Hckmans
school, Martinsburg. on the 9th ultimo
was an occasion of enjoyment for both old
and young.
The program contained forty-one num-
bers, all of which were beautifully handled
by well-drilled scholars. Each pupil took
an active part in the exercises. which were
full of sentiment and humor
Miss Hickman made quite a lengthy
speech. and. in part. she said that she
wished to thank the children for their good
attendance and the parents for their coop
Grafton and loyal support. After which the
inner man was treated to ice cream and
cake.
There were good many visitors pre-
sent, taxing the building to its "limit"
The manner in which the exercises were
conducted and the rapid progress of the
scholars during the past session formed
general as well as a pleasing topic among
the parents, and we wish that Miss Hick-
man may continue with her good work for
many years.

DR.. Clayton's Lecture.
r. C. NJ.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather on Friday evening last, the Rock
vile Town Hall was filled to the doors by
a representative audience to hear the lee
ture delivered by Rev. DIR. James b. Clay
ton, of Washington. on the subject of THE
Eternal Symbol"
The lecture was illustrated upon canvas
by a succession of pictures of the cross
from the time of its origin, according to
DIR. Clayton, in ancient Egypt, when it APP
peared in the form of the ''swastika."
The lecturer gained the favor of his au-
dience at the very beginning, when he re-
quested ''all ladies present under thirty
five years of age to remove their hats, in
order that those behind them might have
full view of the canvas" which request
was good-humoredly complied with by all
of the ladies in attendance, indicating that
the elderly portion of the audience must
have been of the masculine gender
Among the interesting scenes exhibited
was a Photographic picture of an annual
sacrifice on the cross of one Of the members
of a peculiar sect existing in New Mexico
made up of "murderers by choice and
horse thieves by necessity" 1t was ex-
planned that the photographer procured the
picture in disguise. at the imminent peril
of his life.
The lecture was full of interest from be-
ginning to end, gave evidence of thorough
research and patient study in its prepare
ton. and fully sustained DR.. Cayton's en-
viable reputation as public entertainer
and instructor.
