Accepts Call to Massachusetts.

In response to an unanimous call is
sued by the members of the congrega-
ton at birmingham, Mass, suburb
of Boston, and about twenty miles out
of that city, Rev. John A. McClelland
will leave Grafton and take up his work
in the larger field. He states that his
reason for making the change is for no
other than that of getting nearer the
home of relatives of his wife and him
self and of getting in field where he
believed that the chances for doing
good We're greater than in Grafton.
Rev. Mr.. McClelland was pastor of the
church for more than six years and has
always ranked among the leading min
listers of West Virginia. Prior to going
Grafton Mr.. McClelland was pastor of
the Oakland Presbyterian church

SENATE PASSES TARIFF
BILL BY VOTE Of a. To 81
LaFoIlette and Poindexter Support
Bill On Final Passage.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Before the
Senate four months to the day from it's
introduction, the Underwood Simmons
tariff bill was passed by that body at
$40 O'Clock last evening by vote of A
to 81. Senator LaFollette. Republican,
and Pcindextcr, Bull Mooser. supported
the bill on final passage, and Senator'S
Ramsdal and Norton, Democrats, of
Louisiana, voted against it. Senator
Burleigh, Of Maine, absent on account
of illness. was not paired, the Demo
Gratis not finding it convenient to make
par. Senator Gronna, Republican.
OF North Dakota, was paired on all
amendments with Senator Lewis, Of
Illinois, but his release was granted for
the final vote, so that Gronna stands in
the record as absent and not paired.
The first break in the party solidity
came when the name of LaFollette was
called. Without attempt of being de-
monstrative, but in a firm voice that
senator voted ave"
The occupants of the galleries broke
out in applause and vigorous hand clap
ping, no effort being made by the pres-
dent to check the out burst although it
was plainly violation of the rules and
the tradition of the Senate.
When Senator Poindexter added his
vote to the Democratic column the
demonstration again broke out in the
galleries. The occupants manifestly
were in sympathy with the Democratic
measure but this was not to be wonder
ed at as wives and daughters of Sena-
tors and members of the House were
the chief spectators at this closing tariff
performance.
Secretary TumultY with two friends
sat in the Presidents pew and plainly
showed his delight in a broad grin that
Illuminated his countenance.
The vote of Senator Randall and SEN
ator Thornton against the bill of their
own praty was received in silence. The
only other instance of the roll call was
the laughter in the galleries and in the
Republican side when Senator Stone,
member of the committee that framed
the measure voted mo" and then
sprang to his feet in great haste to cor
rect his mistake.
The bill was introduced in the House
April 7, considered April q and report
ed by MIR. Underwood the following day.
May it passed the House by vote of
6S1 to 1923.

A SERIOUS FIRE AVERTED.
Flames In Upper Story of the Lauer
Residence Discovered in Nick OF Time

Dense volumes of smoke pouring from
the windows of the third floor of the
residence of Mr.. Henry Lauer on Sec
ond street Monday morning were seen
and an alarm of fire given which brought
the department with hose reels and
ladder trucks to the scene in less than
minute, but it was some time before
the fire could be located in the building
and as result water was poured into it
which ruined several rooms and their
contents. The fire was finally located
in clothes press, which had its origin
from a source unknown and was soon
eXtingulshed. The loss to Mr.. Lauer
will run up to something more than a
hundred dollars, which is covered by in
surance.

perity, if not in intellectual advance
ment, of the foremost government of
the world, Mr.. Cornwell sustained his
declarations by accredited statistics
furnished,by Government reports. We
cannot reproduce them in this letter.
But IN the commodity of cortOn, it is
shown. that after supplying all home
demands. after furnishing the factories
and spindles of New England with every
domestic need, the cotton output of the
South sold beyond our borders to
foreign purchasers equals one million of
dollars annually for each day in the
year; or the cotton so shipped to foreign
purchasers is more than three hundred
and sixty-ive millions of dollars each
year.
We are reminded that the soldiers of
that unhappy vet not VICTORIOUS war
are now passing to the silent beyond at
the rate of one hundred each day or
or thirty six thousand each year. So, a
few more throbs of the tide of time, and
the last remaining survivor will have
disappeared as but ripple on the sur

MARILAND'S SCHOOLS
IDEAL FOR STUDENTS,

The State of MARYLAND in proper
ton to its size has a large number of
very important school towns. The
following mention are among the more
important.
Baltimore is so situated as to have an
ideal climate for healthful residential
purposes. The rIgors of winter are not
sufficient to interrupt outdoor sports
The fact that the climate Is ideal has
doubtless been one of the contributing
reasons that so many schools and
colleges make their home in Baltimore.
The colleges have already been enumer-
ated. A splendid preparatory school
for boys, four co-educational preparatory
schools and several Catholic schools of
academic rank have been established
here.
Port Deposit, town in one of the
healthiest sections of Maryland and
adjacent to Chesapeake Bay, prides it
self on being the home of large boys
school remarkable for its efficiency.
Emmitsburg is a healthful city re-
markable for its beauty and for its
excellent college.
Mount Washington boasts of an eX-
ceptional site, for it is located upon one
of the highest hills in Baltimore county.
1t has home like seminary for the
education of young boys.
st. Mary's City is the historic spot
where Leonard Calvert and his cava-
Tiers first landed. 1t was long the
capital of Maryland Mistress Mar
garet Brent, perhaps the most inter
esting figure in all of United States
Colonial history. had her home here A
stately Colonial mansion, with broad
pillared porticoes and commanding a
beautiful view both north and south
of st. Mary's river, is the home of
famous school for girls.
Frederick is the home of fine. wo-
mans college.
Annapolis, named for Princess Anne,
afterward Queen of England, is
beautifully situated on a peninsula at
the mouth of the river Severn. Here
lived the Provincial Governors, re-
representatives. of the English Crown.
Here also was erected the first public
free school on the continent. 1t was
known as King Williams School. This
historic city is now the home of the
United States Military Academy.
Poolesville has fine military
ACADEMY. Charlotte Hall has fine
preparatory school for boys.

FRENCH DOG
Clever Ruse Whereby Popular
Maiden Rids Herself of ST.
perfIuous Admirers.
BY LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY.


Miss Lena Walters was troubled IN
her mind. When a girl has four differ
ent admirers and cant say which she
prefers, it's mighty solemn situation.
Well might she pause and reflect. Ma
tons have risen or fallen over easier
problems than that.
No. had curly hair and a lisp. He
was simply delightful.
No. 2 had dropping mustache and
arched eyebrows. He was charming.
No. not only had the poetic express
sion, but he also wrote sonnets. He
had written one sonnet to her eyes
and another to her chin.
No. sat and sighed most Of the
time when he called, and he had eyes
out Of which a lost soul seemed to be
gazing.
Mr.. Walters was business man and
rather brusque He paid very little at
tention to society, and to who came
and went, but after pumping against
q score Of young men in the hall at
one time or other he said to his daugh-
ter:
LENA, you tell the cook to have her
young men come to the kitchen door
after this"
"Why. the cook Is q married WON
an" was the reply.
Are they chums OF the butlerr
"Of course not"
"Then what do they want mere!
"Why, papa, they are my callers"
"Humph! Better get rid Of all but
one. They wear out the rugs"
And, being troubled in her mind,
Mis- Lena did a much more sensible
thing than to retire to her room and
fling herself on the bed and weep She
put on her hat and took stroll to do
some serious thinking.
The father hadn't spoken seriously.
and none Of the four admirers would
be bounced. but suppose that crisis
had come! Suppose the young lady
found herself compelled to say to num-
Der one:
"Rirdie Rockingham. your hair curls

make your hike, Find some other
angel and be happy with her"

The Mistake Is Made By Many
 Newport Citizens.

Look for the cause of back ache.
 To be cured you must know the cause.
 If it's weak kidneys
 You must set the kidneys to working right.
 A resident of this vicinity shows you how.
 Mrs. E. M. Baker, w. Pleas ant St., Searcy, Ark, says: Kidney trouble fastened itself upon me in a mysterious way and I ran down so rapidly that I was in bad shape before I real ized it. I had backache and dizzy spells. The kidney secre- tions were also in bad shape and my joints swelled. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon gave me relief. I willing ly confirm my former endorse ment of this remedy"

BELIEVES VICTIMS
HAVE Been FIXED
New York Prosecutor Suspects
Police Department.

NEW YORK = The chief diff
ficulty attending the investigation of
District Attorney Whitman into the
matter of police protection for the
wireless wire tappers has been that
victims of the wire tappers who have
information which would be of great
use to Mr.. Whitman have refused to
testify. There is strong suspicion
in the minds of Mr.. Whitman and his
assistant, Frederick Groehl, that these
witnesses have been tempered with.
The members of the wire tapping
gang have all confessed to Mr.. Whit
man, and are anxious to turn states
evidence against the policemen who
accepted protection money, so Mr.
Whitman does not believe that any Of
the wire tappers have tempered with
these potential witnesses. He be-
iieves that the fixing has been done
by members, or former members, of
the police department who are inter
ested in blocking the prosecution.
