al wish that my health were such that |
could receive my friends generally now,
but unhappily, it is not. express my
grateful appreciation for their many kind
nesses to me during my sickness, both
this year and the last. They have great
ly frightened the chamber OF sickness,
and soothed my declining days"

Saturday morning last, after lingering
illness, aged 81 years. She had been a
member of the Methodist Church from
early childhood, and was devoted wife
and mother. Besides her husband and
mother, she leaves three children; also
one brother and four sisters. Funeral
services were held in the M. E. Church
South in Middleway Monday morning,
conducted by Rev. D. A. Beery, and in
terment was made in the Masonic Gene
terry at that place.-Spirh.

STATION Contract Awarded.

The contract for the erection OF the new
Norfolk & Western passenger station at
Shepherdstown was awarded at Roanoke
last week TO John p. Petijohn & Co., of
Lynchburg, Va. Joseph c. Nesbitt, who
had been here looking over the situation.
and who was expected to receive the
contract, was underbid by the Pettijohn
company. II is rumored that his bid was
SIT 800 and that the successful firm offered
TO do the work for $4,000. Work will
be commenced on the new project within
few days. The depot will be located
on the site prepared by the railroad COM
pany last year between German and High
streets near the old Lutheran Church.
This location is, in our opinion, very
eligible and convenient one, and the i'm
provement will be a notable one. The
present site will have to be excav2ted a
foot more over its entire area, while a
basement about ten feet in depth will
have to be prepared. As this will have
TO be excavated in what is practically
solid rock, it will be costly piece OF
work. The station is TO be built of
pressed red brick, with two large waiting
rooms, each of which will have two toilet
rooms. The agents office will be in the
center, with ample space for baggage and
express. 1t is to be heated with steam,
lighted by electricity and will have an
abundant water supply. 1t is said that
the railroad company will remove the re-
mainder of the embankment on the north
end OF the lot and also tear down the
clearinghouse at present occupied by
c. w. Mcdonald.
Mayor u. s. Martin has written to Mr..
Pettiiohn, asking him to employ local la
Dor as far as possible, and the latter has
replied that it will be his pleasure to do
so.

We Win and Lose.

We had a very interesting game OF
baseball here last Friday, and local root
ers had the felicity of seeing the home
team beat the strong Myersville team by
a score of 5 to 2. Athey pitched for
Shepherdstown, and played mighty fine
game, allowing the visitors only one hit.
He struck out nine men and allowed four
TO get bases on balls. Our team put up
a good game all the way through. Haul
yer pitched for MyerSville, and worked
the spit ball very effectively. Three hits,
he struck out four men and passed one
to first base. AT the beginning OF the eighth
inning things looked squally for Shep-
herdstown, the score being two TO one
against us. Then the rooterS ratified the
visitors, who made several errors that let
in runs, and we piled up four more scores
and won the game. Having snatched
victory from defeat, the rooterS went
wild, and Myersville fell down in their
last inning beyond hope OF winning.
Tuesday our team went TO Myersville
and the MyerSvillainS wiped up the earth
with us-just used us as mops. They
had more than revenge, for they not only
whipped us, they played with us all
through the game. We don't like TO
mention the score-it was 9 to 0-for we
have never before lost in so ignominiouS
amanner. MyerSvile had strengthened its
team greatly and played championship
ball all through the game. Our team
played well, too, and kept MyerSville
from scoring up until the fifth inning, but
the cataclysm then set in and overwhelmed
us. Athey and KearnS were the battery
for Shepherdstown and Wachtel and
Hauver for Myersvile.
Games are announced here as follows:
Saturday, the Western Maryland team
next Tuesday, the Brunswick team
Wednesday, the Merry Widows; and
Friday July 3On, MyerSville.

Mayor u. s. Martin recently wrote TO
D. B. Martin, manager OF passenger traf-
fic of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, ask
ing that train No. 7, fast passenger train
for the west, be stopped at Shenandoah
Junction al 7lSp p. m. This would give
fine connection for Shepherdstown trav-
elerS west, and would also be especially
attractive to passengers for Shepherds
town from eastern points, as il would give
a close connection with n. & w. train No.
| IA. Mr.. Martin replied that it does not
seem practicable to make Shenandoah
Junction regular stopping point for No.
7, but promises to have it stop for pas
sengers for points beyond Cumberland if
notice is given the agent. For this much
we are thankful, and we hope that the
company will see its way clear to stop
No. for passengers from the east. This
train leaves New York at $50 a. M,
Philadelphia 2.17 p. m, Baltimore 4.3O
and Washington so, and if it would
make the connection at Shenandoah juno
ton it would catch practically all the
Shepherdstown traffic from the cities
named, while at the same time it would
be turning neat trick on the Pennsylya-
mia Railroad, which has recentlyhrranged a
fine connection from New York and Phil
adelphia.

has made and falls head over heels in love with
her absent betrotheds best friend That valiant
gentleman, Master christopher Fassiferne. is
placed in a terribly trying situation He does
his best to guard his friends interests, but be-
fore he knows it he has lost his heart to the
naughty Francoise Hence many exciting cpl
sodes.. Miss Bowen is. indeed, fairly skilful in
the devising of incident but she strings her
scenes very loosely together, and, what is worse.
she makes all of her figures men and women
alike. out of buckram and upholstery. Their
speech is in the melOdramatic style which we
supposed had gone out OF fashion long ago. and
poor Kristopher uses a diction that makes every
thing he says sound hollow. Portentously sin
ister some of the types in this tale meant
to be. but unfortunately the blood and thunder
effects of the spasmodic school never quite
come off. We smile when we ought to shudder.
Perhaps the best comment on Miss Bowen's
latest effort may be offered in the shape of a
quotation:
lie leaned down. caught her by the shoulder and
Ride her dOwn!" he thundered to his men. Ride
Francoise shrieked out:
NO not under the hoofs!"
But Enguerrand rose in his stirrup and struck
at his punging horse.
Francoise shrieked again and struggled 70 catch
hold OF hin-to keep him off her.
Ride her down." shouted EngueTrand. Ride
her down.
He dashed hts whip into her face his horse
Numbered over her, and never looked back as his
fifty horsemen galloped after him. tramping her
fair body beneath the iron hoofs.
Her face. her hair. the gold lilies OF France were
mangled together: her proud blood was beaten into
the dirt and spattered the horses hoofs; as
the last man passed her he looked down and cried
out-so terrible she see; her black hair
caught and clung 10 his strrup, he stopped and
freed himself with wild curse.
Ride onl" came Enguerrand's voice. Ride on!'
And so they passed in mad gallop through the
forest OF Hardouinaye. leaving the wolves TO deal
with Francoise Of Brittany.
A shocking bad fellow. Enguerrand. His
conduct. we submit. in this particular affair,
was nothing less than scandalous.

Some Notes on StendhalS Senti-

Paris. September ..
NJ Paul Gaultier. in ''Rehets d'Histore." pub
lished by the Librairie Hachette. has succeeded
in arranging in condensed form convenient for
speedy reference a vast store of accurate his
toric details concerning the most famous French
monuments and buildings from their construc
ton 10 the present time. The book is useful as
supplementing the necessarily skeletonized in
formation TO be found in guide books. The
chapters devoted to the Louvre and the Palace
OF Versailles. are especially excellent.
La Vie Amoureuse de Stendhal," by NJ Jean
Melia, gives indiscreet glimpses into the "se-
crets Of the alcove" of the author Of La Char
treuse de Parme." whose searching and penetrat-
ing philosophy according TO this biographer
was fully equalled by his ardent temperament
and by his capacity for thoroughly comprehend
ing woman in all her moods and whims. The
psychology OF Henri Boyle. may be appreciated
by a sentence selected from his writings by NJ
Jean Melia for the motto Of his book. Love has
always been for me the greatest or rather the
only serious business of my life"
The fourth volume of "LHistoire Generate du
Theatre" by NJ. Eugene Lentilhac. is entitled

thor, formerly professor at the Sorbonne. and
now Senator. deals with Beaumarchais. Mari

Gated the daughters of families of rank and
wealth. while in the cities and larger towns the
schools for young girls of the middle class have
had a notably satisfactory attendance. though
harem rules forbid any girl over twelve years
old tn leave her home unless accompanied by
her mother or elderly feminine attendant. In
a chapter on the harem system Mrs. Garnett
laws stress on the many rights and privileges
which a Turkish woman enjoys. She inherits
her fathers property as her brothers do; her
husband has 10 control over her money, and she
can dispose of 1t by gift will as she likes;
she can sue him if she wishes and plead her
own cause in court. Above all. though the wife
may be wealthy in her own right. the husband
is bound to support her in fashion conform
ing to his rank and fortune. Two wives are the
limit in these days, and the author notes that
only once during her long residence in Turkey
did she visit harem containing even that num-
ber One wife is the rule. Luxury and sim
plicity are oddly blended in Turkish home life.
The Oriental householder delights in light and
fresh air. and even the most modest dwelling
has incosed courtyard and often garden

Turkish women love out-of-door life and seize
It at all opportunities. They are excellent
