About James RumSey.

Mr.. John Moray, OF Berkeley Springs,
who is firm believer in the fact that
lanes Rumsey was the real inventor OF
the steamboat, has recently issued a
pamphlet, in which he very effectively
and vigorously dispoSeS of the claims
made by some that John Fitch is entitled
to this honor. He shows up Fitch in a
very unfavorable light, and makes it plain
that it is extremely unlikely that he had
any part in promoting steam navigation.
Incidentally, the disposal OF the Fitch
claim knocks out the keystone OF the
Livingstone structure, and tumbles it into
ruin. Hereafter Fulton must be looked
upon as the true successor OF the first
steam navigator, James RumSey, who
was his superior in mechanical and
scientific genius. Mr.. Moray has in pro-
cess of completion faithful biography OF
Rumsey, for which he has gathered a
great amount of material, not only from
descendants in the far West and South,
but also from across the sea and from ma
tional archives. He writes us that he has
a brick from the ruins of James RumSeY's
birthplace in Bohemia Manor, in Mary
land. He brought with him from visit
to that place two OF the bricks, the other
being put in the concrete base otthe mill
stone memorial of Rumsey in Bath Square,
at Berkeley Springs. MIR. Moray refers
to the beautiful ivory miniature OF James
Rumsey, painted in 1888. 1t is by far the
best likeness of the inventor extant, be-
ing a finely finished work Of art by an ex-
pert. 1t is precious family heirloom,
only to be parted with by national pur-
chase. The portrait which the late Hon.
A. r. Boteler secured from Geo. A. Rum
sey, of Salem, N. J., Mr.. Moray says, is
not the work of Benjamin West, but
was painted by young friend OF Rum
sey's from Baltimore, George W. West.
The original is now in the collection OF
THE Salem Historical Society. If the
sculptor of the proposed RumSey monu-
ment should desire bust likeneSS for the
monument, the miniature would be the
most truthful copy, in Mr.. Moray's opin-
ion. We think that Mr.. Moray's forth
coming book on Rumsey will be one oil
the best historical contributions that has
appeared in long time.

shakesnerean Entertainment.

The announcement that Mr.. and Mrs.
r. d. Shepherd and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
B. Hanford will present the great play OF
Othello in ShepherdStown on May 9th
has created great interest all through this
section, and already there is strong de-
mand for tickets. Such quartette OF ia
nous actors has never been seen in Shep-
herdStown, and our people are on the tip
toe of expectation, while many from
Charles Town, MartinSburg, Winchester
and other pIacesare manifeSting the great
est interest in the production. Besides
presenting Othello, Mr.. Shepherd and
Mr.. Hanford will give the quarrel scene
from Julius Caesar, and there will be a
series OF living pictures representa- ia
nous paintings OF worldwide celebrity
and scenes from Ben Hur. Such an en-
tertainment as this promises to be has
never been given in town OF this size,
and the people OF this neighborhood have
a rare treat in store. The merits OF the
performance are such as to insure a
crowded house, and when to this is added
the fact that the proceeds are for wor-
thy public cause, we have no doubt that
every seat will be taken.
The scale of prices has been fixed at
S1OO, Is cents and 80 cents Seats may
be reserved al Owens & Miller'S drug
store.

THE MOTHERS PROBLEM
OF Raising Strong, Healthy Girls.

A serious problem which presents IT.
self to every mother with girls to raise,
In these days. The exigencics of school
life. the hurry and routine of everyday
duties, the artificial environment OF
modern civilization, make 1t more
difficult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history of the world.
Bows raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they VIII
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present SER
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
Worrying about their daughters. Ner-
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? Towhom shall she
turn for help? Each case is more or
less study by itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, 1920 Prescott
Ave-, st. Louis, Mo-, in a letter to DR..
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four wears of age. was a puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. 1 was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and we'll"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
R.F.D.5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
saws: "Our little eight-year-old girl
had a bad cough, and was in general
rundown condition" She had several
doctors. who could give the child no re-
lief. and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to he carried.
Now the mother says she is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: "You have
done a great deal for her. She is the
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
us to have her cured"
These are samples OF many letters
which DR.. Hartman is receiving, com
ing straight from the hearts Of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are pickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes right steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, 1t is cures that the
people want. Theories are OF little
account.

United States Court.

United States Court.
The regular May term OF the United
States Court was held in MartinSburg this
week, beginning on Tuesday. Judge A.
G. Dayton presided, and his charge to
the grand jury was characteristic one
forceful and interesting and impressive to
a remarkable degree. He took advanced
ground on the subject of liquor selling,
and denounced in scorching terms the
traffic that results in the ruination of
young men and the debauching OF young
women. He referred to the business OF
the saloon-keeper as vile and dis
honest and dishonorable business, in
which no man OF proper principle would
engage and which has no jurisdiction from
the standpoint of deceney and morals.
Judge Dayton has expressed vigorous
opinions on the liquor business before,
but he was never more severe in the de-
nunciation OF the traffic than on Tuesday.
There was dramatic and impressive
scene in the court Tuesday afternoon.
Ivan Wilson, boy of fifteen years, OF
Green Spring, w. Va, had been indicted
for robbing the mails, and when brought
up for trial, through his counsel, Hon.
w. B. Cornwell, pleaded guilty. Judge
Dayton commanded the young man to
stand forth; and then, in the presence OF
court officials, the grand jurors and spec
tators, he made most earnest and SOL
emn talk to the youthful offender. The
boys mother sobbed, tears came into the
eyes of almost every man present, and
the voice of the Judge himself shook with
emotion as he warned the prisoner OF the
consequences OF wrong doing and the
sorrow and trouble that crime inevitably
brings. Upon the solemn promise OF the
boy that he would forsake bad company
and be helpful and obedient to his moth
err, the court tempered justice with great
mercy and let him off with nominal fine
of SIS and costs.
Judge Dayton proved to be terror to
persons convicted of selling liquor illegal
ly. "BootleggerS" were dealt with SUM-
marily. One old offender, Luther Stew
ems, got six months in jail and $500 fine,
but the usual fine was 800, with either
80 or 90 days in Jail.
Court adjourned yesterday, several inn
portant cases being postponed until the
next term.
