Invention of the Salad.

Delicate cookery has long been
known to flourish best in those lands
where roast beef is hard to get. 1t
was starvation that invented the sal
ad, for example. Somebody had to
eat grass or go hungry, so he put vine
gar and oil, pepper and salt on it,
and 10! it made dry bread seem like
a dinner. / do not doubt that we shall
bless the meat trust for varied
dietary ere we get through with it or
comes out.-Eugene Wood, in Hamp-
toms Magazine.

Il will be the Intermediary for the

Peace Seems Possible.

Washington, April 20.-The posi-
bility OF an armistice to arrange peace
negotiations in Mexico was confirmed
by the kilograms received by the state
department from Ambassador Wilson
at Mexico City.
With the receipt at the state depart
ment of advices confirming the report
that negotiations for an armistice be-
tween the federal and rebel forces are
in progress, the opinion was expressed
that opportune action had been taken
By both sides in the Mexican revolu-
tion to prevent complications with the
United States.
DR.. Vazquez Gomez. head of the con-
fdential agency of the revolutionists,
and intermediary between the rebel
forces in the field and the Mexican
government, refused to discuss the
proposed armistice. DR.. Gomez has
taken the attitude that the armistice
proposal in no way indicates that the
Insurgents have relented In their do
mAnds for reform.
He is said to have consented to sub
hitting the armistice to his chief,
Francisco /. Madero, Jr.. as we'll as to
the Mexican government, with a view
to preventing danger to American
Aves and property at FL Paso, Tex.
which would be menaced by the at
tack planned on Juarez. Mex. directly
opposite, across the Rio Grande.
!. The fact that negotiations for an
armistice have been confined to the
state of Chihuahua and the northern
part of Sonora, is interpreted In two
ways. On the one hand, 1t Is believed
that the rebels are proposing a par
tial laying down of arms to enable
them to maintain their fight in other
states, though consenting at the same
time to inactivity along the American
border. On the other hand, q strong
belief exists that Francisco /. Madero,
w., has little control over the people
who have risen In revolt In other
states.
The Mexican government however,
1t Is said, Is hopeful of the moral ef-
feet OF inactivity by the Madero forces
in Chihuahua, and has taken pains to
spread throughout the republic news
of the proposed armistice. believing
that temporary cessation of hostili-
ties will become general. It was ru-
mored also that with the setting forth
OF definite proposals from the revolu-
tfonasts the possibility of an agree
ment for the abdication of President
Diaz within a certain period was not
at all unlikely. The proposals, it Ia
known, are to be received by the
Mexican cabinet and laid before Pres
fdent Diaz himself.
The statement of DIR. Vazquez Go
mez, the Mexican rebels agent, that
negotiations for an armistice are I'M
der way between him and the Next
can government. was confirmed by a
telegram received by the state depart
mont from Ambassador Wilson. the
American envoy to Mexico.

CHARLES TOWN

Town Council Authorizes Special Elec-
ton In May and "Drys" Feel Eiated
Over Prospect OF Victory.

Col. James F. Thompson, Mr.. c. F..

Gently passed through that sort OF a
campa gn in Martinsburg, they nat
urally took an interest in what was
being said on the subject during their
few hours stay in that fair town.
They report that the "drys" are
eiated over the prospect OF downing
the saloon, while the "wets" are cor
respondingly blue" The situation is
not without it's amusing feature, so far
as the friends OF the temperance
cause are concerned.
II seems that under the charter
OF Charles Town voter must have
paid his head tax on or before April
18th 30 entitle him to vote at any
election the following year.
The Town Council only passed the
ordinance authorizing the licanse
election on the 14th of April, thus Civ
ing but one day fer the workers to
round up the fioaters and get their
head taxes paid in time to vote. This
snap judgment, so 10 speak. the "drys"
believe will play smash with big lot
OF the wet" vote, black and white
The latest move, it is said, is that
the ''wets" are going DC get out an in
junction restraining the city from
holding the election proposed on the
grounds Of illegality; hut one OF the
leading lawyers IN Charles Tow1 told
the Martbnsburg visitors Tuesday
that that procedure wouldn't hold wa
ter for minute.
so, ii looks very much as If Charles
Town were going to follow the ex-
ample OF Martinsburg and vote the sa-
loon out OF business for a year at
least.
