FINE PROGRAMS
Large Audience Present at Exercises
Sunday-Party and Tree For All
Children Tonight.

One of the most interesting of the
Christmas exercises here on Christ
mas Day were those held in the Stone
Settlement Home, when the children
OF the Sunday school rendered an un-
usually fine program in the presence
Of an audience that occupied every
available seat in the auditorium and
overlooked into the adjacent corri-
doris.
The program as published in The
Evening World Saturday was carried
out in full, and the children all ac-
quilted themselves in an admirable
manner. each number showing the
splendid manner in which they had
been drilled by their teachers.
Mr.. w. E. Outcalt made the open
ing prayer, and the exercises were
closed with the recitation Of the
Lords prayer in chorus by the audi
erce and children. The inging was
under direction of Mr.. A. ID. Darby,
and proved to be one of the most
pleasing features of the program. Mrs.
Guy Hetzel was one of the adult So
loists,
Tonight at the home another pleas
ing event will occur, being the an
nual party and Christmas treat for all
the children of the Sunday school and
industrial and other classes. The af-
fair will be of an informal nature,
and while there will be a number of
features of an entertaining nature,
there will be no set program, There
will be huge Christmas tree laden
with gifts and goodies" for the
young folk, and it is expected that the
event will be a very delightful and
happy one.

yolver. made the remark quoted
above and fired bullet into the body
of Rideout
Il is claimed that Myers had made
a statement that two or three Of the
Rideout brothers and one or two of
their colored friends had attacked
him in the saloon and they were or
dered from the place, and that the
Rideouts renewed the attack upon the
sidewalk. However, this could not be
verified.
Rideout was a son of David Ride
out. small farmer in what is called
the pine hills about four miles
southeast OF the city. He has worked
for several years around the quarries
IN the county, and at other jobs, and
for some time had not borne 4 very
good reputation. He and his brothers
have been IN trouble on several oc-
casions. It is said that the dead man
is the same person who struck a man
on the head with stone on West
King street several months ago. put
ting the injured man in a hospital for
several weeks. This, however, is de
MED by his friends.
Myers is a son of the late William
Myers. who resided for many years
several miles southeast of the city.
For some time past he has been en-
ployed as trackman on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad. and so far
as can be learned, has borne good
" putation.
Arrangements have been made to
give Myers a preliminary hearing in
Justice Felker's court Wednesday az
ternoon at 2 o'clock. The state will
be represented by Attorney Noll.

Special Programs,

Although Sunday was the actual
christmas day, the Industrial and bus
mess world of Martinsburg and BerKe-
lev county observed Monday with I'M
usually unanimity and in accordance
with the time-honored custom Wnlcn
provides that when the great feast Oh
the the nativity falls on the Sabbath
the day following shall be given over
10 the enjoyment of the toilers.
Practically all the business houses
and industrial plants of the city and
vicinity were closed the entire day,
although some the grocery and cloth
ing stores in the downtown section
kept open for an hour or two in the
morning TO accommodate some belat-
ed shoppers and others who had fail-
cd to remove their purchases the day
before Christmas.
A notable feature OF Monday was
the closing of all the saloons of the
city Monday, with the exception OF
one or two, the first time this has oc-
Cured here in years. There was
some little drunkenness noticeable on
the streets, but the crowds were or
derby and decorus.
The weather conditions Sunday
were perfect. The sun shone with a
brightness that gave especial glad
ness to the day, and the air was just
cold enough to be bracing and make
walking comfortable. During the
morning hours the streets were crowd
ed with throngs of happy-faced
cLurch-goers, and all the edifices Of
worship were filed TO their capacity.
Special sermons were delivered by
practically all the pastors of the city,
and elaborate Christmas music was
rendered by the chcirs according to
the programs published in this paper
Saturday. In all the sermons were
eloquent references to the wonderful
significance of the day to the world,
and the messages were all of joy and
peace.
The work of all those CHARITABLE
persons and organizations who aimed
tc bring cheer into the homes of less
fortunate persons was completed Sat
urday night, and many poor children,
as well as adults, were made happy
by generous baskets or provisions,
toys. etc.
Many of the Sunday schools held
special services eth ar on Sunday or
Monday. when programs of music, re-
citations. etc. were rendered before
large audiences. At these exercises
the usual Christmas gifts 10 the
teachers and children were distribut-
ed
