There was an interesting and thrilling
scene on Monday at Charleston, w. Va,
the State capital, wheh after a prolonged
and fiery debate over the question Of
granting license the county court unani-
mouSly refused all applications, and 500
men, women and children marched out
of the courthouse singing "Nearer, My
God, to Thee" The city council OF
Charleston, after having had its dry
majority changed to a "wet" majority by
the most ScandalouS fraud and bribery,
recommended some forty or fifty applica-
tons for barroomS. Thousands of citizens
protested to the court against granting Ii
cenSe, and on Monday there was vast in
tereSt in the outcome, both the temper
ance people and the liquor advocates put
ting up the fight of their lives. After
heated discussions, the court unanimously
voted to reject all licenses for the year
beginning July LIST, and each member de-
clared that he would not vote for license
during his term of office. In the fiery
arguments over the matter, Grant p. Hall,
speaking for the "dry' element, declared
that he knew of a certain WhiSkey man
offering one member of the court $4,000
to vote for license. The whiskey men
had representative at the meeting, and
the discussions lasted nearly three hours.
Commissioner Mottesheard, whose term
expires this year, and who is the Repub-
lican nominee for reelection, declared
himself against saloons. Commissioner
Shepherd stated that he had promised to
vote for license in the city if approved by
council, but that the local newspapers
Sunday had made declaration the court
house should be investigated and that ne
had seen a letter threatening to impeach
him if he voted against license. He de-
clared against license and defied saloon
men to their worst. Commissioner NAL
colin, heretofore considered as favoring
licenses, stated that the tactics OF the
whiSkey men in the city and county had
changed him. The belief is that the
whiskey men will stop the fight for Sa-
looms now. If the members of the court
keep their word the county will be dry
for at least two years, as the term OF only
one expires before that time.

County Court Refuses License.

The County Court of Jefferson county
on Monday refused license to J. p. Wat
kiHs and F. L. Hamilton to sell liquor III
Shepherdstown for the ensuing year, this
action being taken after petitions had been
presented praying the court not to issue
any such license. A considerable dele
CATION of ShepherdStown men and NUM-
Der of representative farmers from this
section were at the session OF the court
to express their opposition to license.
President Heflebower and his associates
extended every courtesy to the petition
ers. The papers were presented by H..
L. Snyder, who made an earnest appeal
to the court not to grant license, declaring
il to be the sentiment OF very large pro-
portion of taxpayers and property own
ers of the town and district that there
should be no saloons in Shepherd stown.
This assertion was backedup by petitions
containing 44S names of voters and tax
PAYERS of this section, including an over
whelming majority Of the most substan-
tial and Influential citizens, and an addi-
tional petition upon which were the
names of 154 women of ShepherdStown.
Prof. Thos. c. Miller principal OF Shep-
herd College, made most forceful argu-
ment in behalf of this institution. He told
of instances where parents had determin-
ed not to send their children TO school
here if saloons should be opened, and
declared that they would be menace to
the cause OF education if they were per-
mitted. Mr.. Miller's speech was a most
impressive one and his facts and argu-
ments were unanswerable. Forrest w..
Brown, Esq, had been employed by Mr..
Watkins to represent his cause. He pre-
scented the application for license and
urged the court to grant it.
After giving full consideration to the
matter, the court by a unanimous vote re-
fused to issue license for ShepherdStown
saloons, and the applications were re-
turned. The Shepherdstown delegation.
expressed its appreciation OF the action,
and then the good news was quickly tel
ephoned home.
Ii is said that those who are DESTROYS
of having bar-roomS established here
will make application for license with 9TH
er applicants to the front, but it is not be-
lieved that they will succeed. 1t will be
very hard, in the first place, to secure the
necessary number OF tree-holders to en-
dorSe their applications, for there has
been great irregularity in this respect, and
hereafter the applications and those who
stand for them will be rigidly scrutinzed
The tremendous sentiment of opposition
to the saloons on the part OF the country
people should not be disregarded by this
town, for there is an earneStneSS about
if that must be needed.
Among many people there is great re-
ioicing at the action of the county court
At the election here in the spring the
liquor element corrupted the voters,
making men drunk and steering them to
the polls like sheep, while it is also
charged that money was used to buy their
votes outright. They were regardless Of
the law and of fairness, and it is only
serving them right that a victory improp-
erly won has been overturned.

THAT fight against Congressman Stur-
giss in Berkeley county was not very
serious, after all. Last Saturday, although
the disappointed would-be poStmaSters
rallied against him in force, he won out
very handsomely, and will have every
delegate from Berkeley county.
The selection OF delegates, we are in
formed, was conducted on the usual high
plane that distinguishes Berkeley county
politicS-not a penny over $4,000 was
spent.

An autopsy was held, and ii was diScov-
cred that needle had pierced the wom-

reveal anything indicating that the needle
had gone through her body. Her hus-

caused her death.

OUT OF a total of more than 4, 000appli-
cantS who took the uniform teachers eX-
animation in West Virginia recently, only
five secured No. certificates, while there
were 232 No. 2 certificates and 670No. 3.
The five fortunate applicants were Gil
bert E. Griffin, of Tate, BraXton county;
Charles E. Kincaid, OF Oak Hill, Fayette
county; Winfrede Cox, OF Morgantown;
and Charles Ellsworth Stockda!e, of Bur-
ton, Wetzel county. We do not think
that the result of this examination shows
that the teachers of West Virginia are ofia
low order of mentality-on the contrary,
we are rather inclined to the belief that il
indicates an unreaSonably severe test.
We have never approved of the State
uniform examination, anyhow. II is a
purely mechanical operation that does not
and cannot take into consideration some
OF the very highest qualifications of a
teacher, and by which it is impossible to
differentiate between personal ability and
adaptablity OF the highest order and ma
chine-like knowledge of certain subjects.
II is our opinion that the old-fashioned
method OF conducting countyexaminations
is better than the new system. We say
. This after observing conditions for several
years past.

Of CHARLES |.
English Clergyman Believes He Has
a Genuine Velasquez Painting
in His Possession.

| Especial Cable to Herald Republican)
London, March 26.-The Reverend
James Stephen Barrass, rector Of St
Lawrence Jewry, has found What he be-
lieves to be a portrait of Charles 1 by
Velasquez, of which nothing has been
heard from the time il was painted in
Madrid nearly three hundred years ago.
This discovery of a portrait by the
greatest master of the brush the world
has yet seen will rank among the most
remarkable artistic finds in history, if
the flood of criticism which is bound to
burst upon ii bears out the belief
which Mr.. Barrass entertains as to the
authenticity of the work.
The Reverend Barrass purchased the
picture from a family in London, in
whose possession it had been for sixty
years.
Critics and qualified experts who have
viewed the picture are agreed that the
reconciliation of a single apparent dis
crepancy between the canvas In the
possession of Mr.. Barrass and the most
authoritative description of VelasQuez's
portrait of Charles l would go far to
establish the picture as the work Of the
great Spanish master.
The apparent discrepancy is found in
the fact that whereas the rectors pic
ture is a more or less finished study,
Pachecho, the father-in-law Of Velas-
quez, refers to the VelasQuez portrait
in question as merely a sketch.
while 1 have seen the Reverend j.
S. Barrass' picture on several occa-
sions, find it extremely difficult to ex-
press any definite opinion" said &c.
Gasquoine Hartley (Mrs. Gallichan),
the art critic, in a recent interview.
Mrs. Gallichan is the author of ''Velas-
quez" and "A Record Of Spanish Paint
ers"
81 believe the picture is Spanish. I
believe 1t is a portrait of Charles /. l
doubt wheather anyone except Velas-
quez could have painted It, Parts of the
face and collar certainly look like his
work"
Mrs. Gallichan added that there
could be no two opinions about the ex-
tremely interesting nature of the pic
ture.

Especial Gable to ald-Republican
