Interesting exercises were held last
Sunday afternoon by the Southern Meth
odist Sunday School, OF which w. p.
Lickider is the efficient superintendent.
The occasion was the reopening OF the
Sunday School room, which has rece entity
been very greatly improved. The walls
have been tastefully frescoed by the q.
M. Strleby Company, of Washington, the
old pews were removed and modern fold
ing chairs put in their place, and hand
some new carpet laid over the entire floor,
including the infant departments room.
These Improvements have worked trans
formation in the room, and il is now very
handsome and attractive and conven-
iently arranged for Sunday School work.
Special services were held Sunday after
noon, the chief feature of which was an
earnest and practical address by Hon. IA.
L. Walton, of Woodstock, Va, on "The
Sunday School as an Agency for Good"
There was large attendance.

Board of Control.

Board or control.
The Register last week stated that
MeSsrS. Thos. E. Hodges and John A.
Sheppard, of the State Board of Control,
were in Shepherdstown looking after the
affairs of Shepherd College. They took
action looking to an improvement of the
heating system Of the school, and may
cause a change to be made from hot wa
ter to steam if it shall not cost too much.
They also authorized the purchase OF
number of new book cases for the library,
furniture for the other rooms and for vari
Gus Improvements to the buildings and
grounds. They will also try to set apart
fund sufficient for new pavement in
front of the old college building. No &C
ton was taken towards purchasing add-
tional land, for which an appropriation Of
SC, 900 was made by the Legislature.
The members OF the board recognize
the growing need ola dormitory for Shep-
herd College, and various plans for secur-
ing such quarters were talked Of. One
proposition was to turn the town hall in
to dormtory, but it is hardly thought
that this is feasible. If the land of the
Line heirs should be secured the school
would have fine location for a dormi-
| tory.
The State now controls the old college
property and town hail. Some months
ago lease was made by the trustees OF
the old college to the State, for term OF
twenty-five years, and more recently the
State bought the interest of the Ladies'
Town Hall Association in the town hall,
securing control by the payment Of the
debt resting upon it. This puts all OF the
property between German and High
streets in charge of the State, which will
use it for school purposes and keep it in
| reDair.

A Wonderful Performance.

The entertainment given by the Re-
menyi Young Company in the town hall
Monday night was remarkable perform
ance-indeed, we have seldom seen any
thing like it in this place. The pro-
gramme consisted of dramatic readings,
several short sketches and music. With
out detracting from the merits of the 9TH
er performers, we may say that Monsieur
Remenyi Young was the star ofthe even
ing. As violinist he easily rivalled the
great artist who was honored by having
Mr.. Young named after him, while at the
same time he reminded us OF the famous
late lamented Ole Bull. AS tragedian,
however, Mr.. Young shone even more
brightly. With the earnest abandon and
tragic personality of the great Forrest he
combined the force of Mccullough, the
subtilty OF Booth and the stage presence
of Henry Irving, while in the lighter Sc
lections he showed the characteristics
that made John Drew world famous and
E. H. Sothern's name household word.
The vocal selections which attracted
most attention were those rendered by
lady whose name was not announced and
most unfortunately not printed on the
programme. She sang several operate
gems in the most exquisite style, though
we hesitate to admit it-her method was
soartistic as to be slightly above the heads
OF many of the audience not accustomed
to the highest development OF musical
genius. We regret to state that she was
obliged to stop IN the midst OF one OF her
most lovely songs and administer a mild
though merited rebuke to the southwest
corner OF the gallery. "You buns, over
there" she said, chad better be quiet. |
won't stand for no trouble from lot of
ignoramuses like you, and if you want
this show to 60 on, shut up" Order was
at once restored and the entertainment
proceeded to its regretted finish. Mama
ger ShipIey, we understand, is negotiating
for return engagement.

Fine New Payements.

THO we" fdNtmentS.
One of the best stretches of pavement in
Shepherdstown-or any other town, for
that matter-iS the sidewalk along the en-
tire length OF High street, on the south
side, between Princess and and Mill
streets. Up TO few weeks ago there
was bit OF brick pavement, a small
amount of stone, and the balance was a
path that meandered along over the
bumps. Now there is a solid stretch Of
fine concrete the whole length of the
block, nicely graded, substantial and
handsome, without a break or step
in it. Part of the work was done by VIM.
J. Britner and part by w. L. Arthur. Mr..
Arthur put in concrete arch over the
town run at NJ. B. Bakers lot on the con-
ner of Princess and High streets, the first
work of this sort that has been done on
this stream. The persons who have
made such fine sidewalks are to be con-
graduated upon their public spirit.

NATURES Charming CoIors.


This has been another week OF perfectly
delightful weather. The air has been soft
and balmy, with gentle breezes from the
South and temperature just right, while
the sunny days and brilliant moonlight
nights have made ideal conditions. The
leaves have fallen fast, though, and the
trees are becoming very bare. We think
that we have never seen the foliage as
beautiful as it has been this fall, and many
persons have remarked upon the exqui-
site loneliness of the landscape. A drive
along our country roads has been the
rareSt treat to the lovers Of nature.
Whether viewed from near or far, the
scene has been one OF surprising beauty.
The nearer woodland, or even single
trees, have been gorgeous in crimson and
gold and green and red and brown, while
the same striking tintS on the distant
mountains are softened into the most del
icate shades that the eye can behold.
Strikingly beautiful has been the river
drive, where every splendid color has
been faithfully reflected in the crystal wa
tiers of the Potomac. AS if the foliage OF
the trees were not in itself sufficient
beauty, many OF them have been envel-
oped in entwining garlands OF Virginia
creeper turned into scarlet, and, standing
along the shore like pillars OF flame, ev-
cry color and shape has been reproduced
in the stream to make wonderfully love-
ly sight doubly beautiful. Though these
brilliant colors have now almost disap-
peared, still there are left some soft gold
and brown shades that have beauty OF
their own and still remind us of the glory
of former DAYS.

Peacher's Mill Property Sold.


The Peacher's Mill property about two
miles west of Harper's Ferry, including
about IS acres of land, upon which is 10
Gated the mill and the old Westinghouse
nearby, has again been sold, and will be
divided between the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad and the Standard Lime and Stone
Company. Some years ago this property
was bought by the late John Martin, who
gave something like s., 200 for it, and af-
terWard sold ii to Washington man, Mr.
Depew. Then it fell into the hands Of
another Washington man, Mr.. DaiSh, who
had financial difficulties and could not
hold it. The Bank of Harper'S Ferry had
an interest in the property, and it was &C
quired, we understand, by Messrs. Light
ner and Bracket, of Harper's Ferry, who
gave $1,000 for it, They have sold it to
F. w. Brown and r. w. Alexander for
$4,000, these last-named gentlemen buy
ing it for the B. & o. Railroad and the
Standard Lime and Stone Company.
These two corporations have long de-
sired the property. The railroad COM
pany wants to put in third track along
there, and it is also stated that it will be
most useful in case the ShepherdStown
cutoff is built and if the connection with
the Valley Branch at Millville is con-
Structed. 1t is rumored that very impor-
tant work by the B. & o. is contemplated,
with Peacher's Mill as the center of OPP
erations. The lime company will again
operate the dolomite quarrieS at that place,
work on which was abandoned some
years ago because the limits OF its prop
erty had been reached. 1t is said that the
mill will continue 10 be run for the pres
emf.

Our Town Lights.

A proposition OF the electric light CON-
mittee of the town council TO dispense
with the two arc lights on Main street
and replace them with much smaller in
candescent lights has caused considerable
discussion the past week or two, and, so
far as we can gather, does not meet with
much favor On the contrary, there is a
decided opinion that Our Main street
should be even better lighted, instead OF
a backward step being taken, and that
another arc light should be placed at the
Farmers Bank corner. The reckless and
misleading statement is made publicly
that the two arc lights "cost the town
more than all the other lights in town
combined" II this were true, there
might be some justification OF the pro-
posed action of the committee on the
ground OF economy, but we are informed
by an electric light expert that while the
cost OF maintaining the two arc lights is
about At cents per hour, the other street
lights cost about 10 cents an hour. In
other words, instead OF costing more
than all the other lights combined, the
two arc lights cost only about one-fifth as
much. How the efficiency" ofthe light
ing will be increased by taking down
1900 candle-power arc lights and putting
in their place go watt Tungsten lamps,
we confess we cannot figure out.
We heartily agree with all reasonable
efforts to promote economy in our town
affairs, but there are other directions in
which our town council may exercise this
virture with much more approval OF the
people than in cutting down our lighting
efficiency.
