NEW PENSION SCHEME.
3. & o Employees to Be Retired at IS
Years.


1t Is more than probable that the
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad will take some action in the
near future on the new plan of pen
sloning old employees, as submitted
two months ago by Major John G.
Pangborn, statistician OF the road.
Under this plan persons remaining
in the service until they are 65 years
old will be retired on pension OF an
amount equivalent to ] per cent. of
the amount of salary, based on the
number of years in which they have
been in the service Of the Baltimore
and Ohio, instead of the number Of
benefits which they hold in the roads
relief depart ment. According to Major
Pangborn, the new plan is more mod
ern and in his opinion will prove
more satisfactory than he old system
of pensioning employees. In case EN-.
ployes do not desire to retire at 65,
il the new system Is adopted, they
can remain in service until they
reach 70 years, when they are com.
PEELED to retire.

RECEPTION TO
MRS. NJ SHERRY
Martinsburg Daughters Of the Con-

NOTABLE TRIBUTE TO
The PRESIDENT RAJ
DISTINGUISHED Wife of DR.. j. w. Nc
Sherry Guest of Honor at Largely
Attended Reception in katz Hall
Confederate Veterans, clergymen
and Ladies Mingle Together.
nd Ladies Minsie Together.

From The World Of Wednesday:
A social event entirely out of the
ordinary in Martinsburg was the re-
cept.on TO Mrs. James w. McSherry
rendered last night by Berkeley chap
ter, United Daughters of the confed-
eracy in honor of her recent election
at Houston, Texas, as president-gener-
al OF the association. The reception
was held in Katz hall and lasted from
s to 10 O'Clock.
The function was largely attended
and was most enjoyable, The special
guests were the members of Berkeley
camp of Confederate veterans and the
sons and daughter of veterans. But
the reception had wider scope from
the fact that among the guests were
many friends and admirers of Mrs.
McSherry who have no direct relation
to the societies named The guests
also included several clergymen of the
city, namely Rev. DR.. F. NJ Woods,
Rev. DIR. J. A. HoffheiDs, Rev. G. S.
Trump and Rev. Father w. F. Fallon.
Having taken position in the hall
beside her husband, DIR. McSherry,
Capt w. B. Colston stepped forward
and on behalf of the ladies of the
chapter and incidentally the Confeder-
ate veterans, addressed a few compli-
mentary remarks to Mrs. McSherry,
explaining to her the object and mean
ing of the rec pticn. He CALAMITY ex-
pressed the pride they all felt in the
honor with which she had been crown
ed as head OF the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, an office of which
she was so worthy and which she was
so capable of adjoining.
Mrs. McSherry (who was only mott
fed of the intended reception shortly
before it was to come cff) feelingly
replied to the complimentary words
OF Capt. Colston. She said that she
appreciated the honor paid her by
her friends of Martinsburg scarcely
less than the high honor recently con-
ferred on her by the women of the
South; and that the tribute paid her
by her towns people end the spirit
actuating it was one of the most
touching incidents in hvr life. She
warmly thanked her friends and as
sured them that her best endeavor
would be to make herself worthy of
the honor bestowed upon her.
The ladies of the chapter served de-
lectable refreshments during the
course of the evening, and at ten
o'clock the memorable event came to
a close.
