PUMPKIN TO BE KEYNOTE
No Social Function Will BE Complete
Without Same the Night Witches
Are Abroad. 49,

The pumpkin will be the keynote OF a
unique party to be given while the
witches are abroad on the night of
October 81, and 1t will not be the fault
of the hostess if the affair Is not a
complete success. for she has thought
and dreamed of pumpkins for weeks.
A rich yellow or pumpkin shade. cor
responding effectively with the wood
work and furniture of Flemish oak.
will be the predominating color. Pump
kins OF all kinds and sizes will dom
mate the situation. The electric lights
will be shaded by tissue paper pump
kins, and pumpkin boxes, filled with
nuts and candles for the guests to
help themselves from, will swing from
the centre and side lights.
In the large living room, from which
most of the furniture will be removed
for dancing, the stationary bookcases.
with their contents. will be concealed
by yellow cloth stretched In broad
dado around the room. Another band
OF yellow, upon which grinning pump

in black, will cover the pictures. This
room will be lighted not by prosaic
electricity or gas, but by jacko-lan-
terms and quaint brass candlesticks
paced alternately above the book
cases, and great brass jardinieres, fill
ed with chrysanthemums and autumn
leaves, will give the place the addition

No Halloween party Is complete

be provided on this occasion by Me-
phistophe.es himself. He will appear
with horns and hoofs. and the hostess
will give over to HIN secluded den,
where. to the accompaniment Of weird
powder burning In large brass jar

while notices, appropriate to the time

uncannily from the dark background

chrysanthemums and autumn foliage

kin dishes on which some of the
viands will be served, the good old
sign of the harvest home will be much
in evidence.
The salad will be passed in pump
kins followed out to form salad bowls.
Larger pumpkins cut In two will serve
as platters for the cold meats and rel

be small affairs covered with yellow
and white icing.

coffee in the shape OF tiny roll Of

cup 1t will float upon the top and I'M

NEW STATION !?
Measurements of Foundation Taken
and Drawings Made Of Old 2. G. 0.
Building in This City.

Building IN tHis 10y.
From The World of Saturday.
A corps of Baltimore and Ohio en-
gineers have been here today taking
measurements of the building used as
a station by that road They are also
making drawings to show the detail
of the station and its surroundings at
present.
Many surveys have been made Of
the building since the committee
from the board of trade visited the
officials in Baltimore last December,
but nothing defnate has ever been CIV
en- out.
The surveys included the elevations
of the present station and measure
ments for drawing of the properly
owned by the company and the streets
which intersect it. Surveys were al
so made for a new route for the line
of the Standard Lime and Stone Com
pany, as that must be gotten rid OF
before a new station can be built on
the property of the company.
1t has been about definitely decided,
so It is said by one OF the high OH
cials, that the station will be built
somewhere in the vicinity of the
present one. Several plans have al
ready been drawn and submitted but
none of them has every been adopted
Recently it was reported that the old
station would be remodeled at cost
of about $4,000. Another rumor was
that the station would be built be
tween Martin and Burke streets, but
nothing definite has ever been learned
of the purpose OF the company.
The tearing down of the old too
house. which was at one time the
freight station, brought forth the ru
NOR this week that the company
would at once begin work on new
station. Following this comes the
corps of engineers who were a. work
today, and taking the indications al
together it looks as if there was some
thing doing.
The people of Martinsburg will hal
with delight the day when the work
On a new station for the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad is actually begun.

learned by the lecture course COM
mittee that the Central Grand
Concert Company will be unable
tie keep their engagement on our

carefully considering them. They
are anxious to secure the very best
talent possible to take the place
of this missing number. Seats
checked for the Central Grand will
be good for the extra number with
out rechecking. Holders of single
admission tickets are urged to re-
tain their seats as the talent sub

When the pressmen failed for

the big dailies struck and immediat-

Scabs cannot be gotten to run $751;

The stomach Cannot Rest.

tits mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands iu the
mouth. the stomach. lower stomach, liver,
spleen, etc, take part in the digestive
process. This process Is going on con-
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes. or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatiu, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
Of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body Of irri-
tating acids Or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin. and

tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract. Rydale's Stomach
