B. so Changes Schedule.

D. & " Manages SCnc0ule.
The changes in the passenger schedule
ofthe Baltimore & Ohio Railroad on Sun
day last, now in effect, were practically
the same as indicated in the last issue of
the Register. We think that the changes
are much for the better, so far as the con-
Yenience oflocal traffic is concerned. Two
new trains have been added, No. 40, east
bound, and No. 80, weSt-bound. No. 40 is
semi accommodation that leaves Cum
berland at 7.30a. m, stops at Shenandoah
Junction at 1903, and reaches Washington
at 1920 and Baltimore at A. Train No.
8, which formerly stopped at the Junction
at 1927 a. m, has been made very last
train and stops neither al the Junction or
Harper's Ferry, passing both OF these
places about two hours earlier than If
used TO. Train No. now stops at the
Junction at 1910 a. NJ, and will make the
eastern connection for passengers from
Norfolk & Western train No. Is. No. 80,
a new train, will leave Baltimore daily at
2 p. m, Washington at 3.l5, reaching
Shenandoah Junction at SPA, and ending
its run at Cumberland at s p. III. This is
supposed TO carry passengers for connec-
ton with N. & w. train No. u. Train
No. |, which formerly made this connec-
ton, runs on its old time, but now stops
at the Junction only when it has paSSen-
gers from Baltimore or points east. The
balance OF the trains stop at the Junction
at practically the same time as heretofore.
Trains 5 and 6-the New York Chicago
Limlted-have been transformed into two
beautiful archaeological trains with en-
tirely new equipment from end to end, OF
baggage cars, coaches, sleeping cars, OBJ
servation cars and dining cars. The
coaches are of new design, with steel
frames and trucks, cement floors, and are
finished in polished mahogany, combln-
ing attractivenesS with perfect sanitation,
comfort and safety. The lavatorieS and
toilets are separated on opposite sides OF
the aisle, the women's compartments be-
ing at one end, the mems at the other.
The Pullman sleeping cars are provided
with both upper and lower berth lights,
and are equipped with electric fans.
Trains and 2-Cincinnati and ST. Louis
Limited have also been equipped with
the new design coaches and electric-light-
ed Pullman sleeping cars with upper and
lower berth lights.
As fast as the new equipment is re-
ceived from the car builders the through
trains will be equipped with the handsome
cars, until there shall be a complete trans
formation of the passenger service.

Communicated.

AS a preacher sometimes gets an op-
portunity 10 hear another minister pro-
claim the gospel message, so a teacher
occasionally attends the exercises where
other teachers have trained the children.
The writer enjoyed such a privilege at the
closing of the Shepherdstown Graded
School recently. The floral display was
in good taste, the pennantS pretty and ap-
propriate, the music, as usual, very good.
The selections were quite suitable and
well rendered, each theme bearing les
sons which should prove useful to speak
ers and hearers. And the graduates were
of special interest to one who has
watched their School career in some
lower grades. r. A. b.

The Shakespearean entertainment Civ
en- in the town hall in ShepherdStown last
Friday night by Mr. and Mrs R. D. Shep-
herd and Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Han
ford was all that had been anticipated
high as those anticipations had BEEN
Such a performance has never before
been seen in this community; indeed, one
night wait a long time anywhere TO see
such an altogether delightful programme
by so accomplished a group OF actors.
That Our people appreciated the charac-
ter OF the entertainment is shown by the
fact that nearly every seat in the house
was taken and the receipts approached
$500.
I he first number of the evening was
the quarrel scene from Julius Caesar, with
Mr.. Shepherd as Brutus and Mr.. Han
ford as CassiuS. Twas powerful scene,
full OF dramatic force and strength, and
it held the GREATNESS interest of the au-
dience. Following this was the balcony
scene from Romeo and Juliet. Spark
ling, bright, fervent-we think Sweeter
Juliet could scarcely be conceived than
she so cleverly represented by Mrs.
Shepherd
Four scenes from Othelo were the
most important feature OF the programme
the jealousy scene, the handkerchief
scene, the denunciation of DeSdemona
and the death OF DeSdemona. Mr.. Shep-
herd appeared as Othello, Mr.. Hanford
as Iago, Mrs. Shepherd as DeSdemona
and Mrs. Hanford as Emilia. Each of
these an artist, they complimented the
appreciative audience by rendition that
was the very best that was in them, and
the result was marVelously realistic and
thrilling expression Of the most dramatic
and beautiful OF the great authors won
derful plays. If, where all were so ar
tistically perfect, there could be one thing
better than another, we should say that
the fourth scene of the Othello series was
most thrillingly effective. The tragic
death of DeSdemona, the sombre Self-ac-
cuSation of Othello, the denunciation
hurled by Emilia, the satanic vengeance
of Iago all ending in the suicidal
death of Othello-this was great and i'm
preSsive beyond our powers of descrip-
tion. The applause that followed but
family expressed the genuine admiration
of the audience, for we think that every
one in the place was deeply thrilled.
A delightful scene from the Tanning OF
the Shrew, with Mrs Hanford as Rather
inc and Mr.. Hanford as Petruchio, ended
the charming performance OF the even
ing.
The audience, deeply appreciative, was
more than satisfied, for they realized that
an artistic feast had been theirs and that
the great work Of a word-famouS author
had been properly interpreted by compe-
tent opponents. The costumes were
perfect in every detail, the stage settings
adequate and the scenery effective. We
express the thought OF the community
when we say that the people are deeply
grateful to Mr.. and Mrs. Shepherd and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanford for this great en-
tertainment and for the generous donation
of all the proceeds to local objects.
Excellent music was furnished by the
| ShepherdStown orchestra, under the
leadership OF Charles Morgan, before the
performance and between the acts.

Great Automobile Run.


The New York Herald of yesterday
stated that up to IL O'Clock Tuesday night
seventy cars had been entered in the run
to be made from Atlanta TO New York
next week under the auspices OF the At
lanta Journal and the Herald, and the
prospects are that still more will be en-
tered. The run Will begin in Atlanta on
Monday morning OF next week. The
Herald states that this summers run,
which will be the second under the Her
aid and Journal auspices, promises to be
much larger than that OF laStfall, the first
to be made over the new national high
way, and that larger cars will be seen.
The list of entries printed by the Herald
shows that some of the finest cars made
in the United States have been entered.
Most OF the cars will be from Atlanta, but
entries have been received from practi-
caly every State through which the mo-
florists will pass, and many automobile
enthusiasts have already gone from New
York to join their friends.
The run will be made over the nation
al highway selected by the Herald Jour
nal cars last fall, and will come by way
of Commerce, Ga; Spartanburg, S. c.
Winston Salem, N. c.; Roanoke, Va,
and to Stanton, where the night OF June
9 Will be spent.
The motorists will reach Winchester
on June 10 in time for dinner, and will
then proceed to ShepherdStOwn, arriving
here about the middle OF the afternoon.
They will get to Staten Island on the 18th,
and arrive in New York in time to see
Colonel Roosevelt come home from his
long hunting trip to Africa.

exercises were held by the q. A. r. camp,
Lincoln's Gettysburg address was read
by Raleigh Sherman, ESQ.,. and effective

A large crowd was present, though per-
hapS not as many persons as usual at

The good name that ShepherdStown
bears as a place of delightful hospitality
was enhanced by the very enjoyable re-
ception given last Saturday night by Mr..
and Mrs. r. c. Ringgold at their lovely
home, Bellevue, near town. The guests
were invited to meet especially Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles B. Hanford and Mr.. and
Mrs. r. D. Shepherd, but besides these
they were also gratified to know number
of visitors to whom Mr.. and Mrs. Ring
gold were giving house party. The
evening was one of great pleasure to all
who were present. An orchestra from
Martinsburg furnished music for dancing
for the young folks. The grounds about
the house were lighted by torches and
Japanese lanterns, making the place look
doubly beautiful, and twas romantic to a
dangerous degree, especially as the
comet could best be seen from the shad-
owy places. During the evening delic-
lous refreshments were served. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ringgold are most charming hosts,
and they placed their many friends under
renewed obligations for this delightful en-
! tertainment.

OF the storage Of freight, such owner
IS charged with certain public duties
aud is liable to regulation. The prin.
ciple once having been established, we
know of no reason why IL should not
be applied to the wharves and landings
of this Territory, and we strongly rec
ommend such legislation. We recon.
mend that by an act Of the legislature
there shall be created commission
having powers similar to those given to
the interstate commerce commission.
Such an organization should be given
the right to examine into conditions
existing. and for that purpose have
certain judicial powers; such as com.
pelling the attendance of witnesses and
the production of books, papers and
other documents. It should have the
right to fix charges and to determine
upon uniform regulations affecting an
landings and wharveS in the Territory.
The act should specifically make the
owners or operators of whnrves and
landings common carriers subject to the
rights and responsibilities as such.
Discrimination in rates between various
shippers should be penalized as well as
overeharges and any other abuses incl
dent to monopolistic control
AS we view the matter at present
it seems as if there are but two
courses: Territorial ownership, which
we can not recommend as being an AIDE.
quate and practical solution in all cases,
and supervision by an act of legisla-
ture, such ms we have recommended
above. Any other course would resale
in hardship and we should be brought
sooner or later to the same problem
which confronts us at present.
The resolution which provides for
the present commission does not seem
to warrant our discussion or recon.
mendation of other measures affecting
the transportation of freight, still we
feel bound to call to attention the fact
that either the ownership or regulation
of all landings will not solve the great
question of transportation which is now
confronting the public of this Terri
hOry. If either public ownership or
regulation of wharves and landings
alone is adopted. the heavy rates now
borne by shippers and which are sup.
posed to be excessive landing charges
will undoubtedly be passed on to other
private owners, who will not be subject
to either public ownership or control.
We can not help but be impressed by
the fact that the real question of trans.
portation, which seems to be a question
of landings, is a question of the hand.
ling of freight from the initial point
of departure to its receipt by the con.
signee. This question can only be
handled by the regulation under such
a commission as we have referred to
above covering the entire transporta.
ton of all freights. The regulation of
any single stage of the system, with the
remainder uncontrolled will be at best
only a temporary remedy.

DEFENDANT ARRESTS
COMPLAINING WITNESS

Practical reciprocity was exemplifed
in the EVA district court yesterday,
when Manuel Lopes got one year in
jail for impersonating an officer. Lopes
has nobody but himself to blame, as his
original entry into legal circles was
made as the complaining witness.
A few nights ago he wandered into
a Porto Rican camp and threatened to
throw everybody out of it. As he was
hunting for trouble, he found just what
most people pursuing that vocation
usually find - plain and unauthorized
trouble.
His challenge had not stood for more
than few minutes when one Seserino
Cruz stuck a knife in him. He was
not placed hors de combat to such an
extent that he could not swear out
warrant, and Seserino was soon behind
the bars for assault with a dangerous
weapon.
After being arrested, seserino swore
out a warrant charging Lopes with i'm.
personating an officer. He claimed that
when the other made his ofiicious entry
into Ewa's peaceful Porto Rican circles
he was posing as a guardian of the
peace and sheltering himself behind the
protection of a bogus law. His claims
were proved in court, and Lopes now
commences his sentence.
Seserino will come up for trial this
morning. Another curious feature of
the ease is that the principal witness
for Seseriuo against Manuel IL also the
principal witness for Manuel against
seserino, and Is East becoming rich on

She Has PiIfered Spoons, Knives
and Forks at Dinner
Parties. 'D'
M'DUFFIE RECEIVERS THEM
The Thief Said to Be a Woman
Well Know in Local
Society.
(From Monday S Adve1tiser)

The Union Grill yesterday recovered
nine pieces of silverware stolen from
its tables by Honolulu woman, well
known in local society, Chief of Detec.
tives McDufie having got possession of
the property after walters of the grill
had, by keeping watch, found out that
the person in question had taken at
least one piece of silver.
With the evidence in his possession
as to the ore theft, McDnfie made a
call upon the accused lady. He came
back to the restaurant with two large
silver spoons, couple of small silver
spoons, and some knives and forks, all
bearing the Union Grill's brand. All
had been pilfered, during dinner par.
ties. The name of the lady from whom
they were recovered would make a big
sensation if revealed, according to Man.
ager Lycurgus of the grill.
"We have good silverware and have
been missing it from time to time, !"
said Lycurgus. at seems necessary to
keep watch. Some people, of course,
steal pieces of silverware for souvenirs
In this case it seems that the stealing
must have been for the value of the
goods
"We found reason to suspect a GER
tain party, and our walters watched.
Absolute evidence was obtained as to
one article of silverware and Detee-
tive McDufie was informed of the
facts.
The stealing of silverware is an old
story in hotels all over the country, and
often tourists who do not figure on
value steal spoons, ETC., as souvenirs.
In the grill case, the thief is lady
who is quite frequent diner at the
restaurant. After her interview with
McDuffie yesterday, during which she
surrendered the nine pieces of silver,
she is not likely to attempt to carry
away any more of the grill property
when she dimes there.
