Prof. and Mrs. Miller Return.

Prof. and Mrs. Thomas c. Miller, who
spent the summer abroad, arrived IN
Shepherdstown the first of the week for
few days rest after their strenuous trip.
They were members of the West Virginia
delegation to the Worlds Sunday School
Convention at Zurich, Switzerland, hav-
ing sailed from Boston on June 18th.
The first stop was at the Azores, the
next at the Madeira Islands, then at
Gibraltar and Algiers. AT Naples they
left the ship and went to Rome, where
they stayed day or two. On the trip
TO Zurich they toured northward through
Italy, stopping in Venice and Milan,
going through and climbing to the top OF
the famous cathedral at Milan. Eight
days were spent at Zurich at the con-
vention. Mr.. Mlller'S account of this
event is very interesting and it must have
been great occasion. People from all
parts of the world, $500 in all, were
there, and although many languages
were heard, the most prevalent was the
English. From Zurich they went TO
Germany, sailing down the Rhine, stop
ping at the larger and more interesting
places. Several days were spent in
Holland, after which they went TO BruS-
sells. Mr.. and Mrs. Miller also went 10
the famous field OF the Battle of Waterloo.
From here they went TO Paris, stopping
five days in that city. Arriving in Lon
don, Mr.. Miller went to call upon the
Rev. Mr.. Aglionby, rector of Christ
Church. He received hearty welcome
and took lunch with them. Mrs. Ag-
lionby gave Mr.. Miller copies ofthe Reg
lister for the proceeding eight weeks and
Mrs. Miller says that from that time he
lost all interest in sight seeing and tour
ing and was not satisfied until every line
in all the papers was read, including ad-
vertiSementS.
After tour through northern Eng
land and Scotland they SET sail for Amer
lea arriving in Shepherdstown on Mon
day. On the entire trip the party never
missed connection, which is certainly
tribute TO the continental railroads.
Tomorrow Mr.. Miller will leave for
Tucker and Randolph counties where he
will conduct teachers institutes, and
Mrs. Miller will go for visit to her old
home in Rogersville, Tenn.

whose maiden name was Deck, was the
widow of Thomas Hoffman, who died in
1907. She had been i'll for long time
from dropsy and recently number OF
complications developed which finally
caused her death. Mrs. Hoffman was for
many years consistent member OF the
M. E. Church South, and her implicit
faith enabled her to bear with resigna-
ton and fortitude her affliction. Her
kind disposition and quiet manner made
for her many friends who mourn her
loss. She was II years OF age. She is
survived by five children, Miss Jessie,
at home; Mrs. w. S. Myers, of Charles
Town; Mrs. c. d. Hutchinson, of Oma-
ha, Neb.; Mrs. g. w. Rockholt, OF
Meridian, CAL, and Welty Hoffman, of
Grand Island, Cal. She is also survived
by five grand children. The funeral
service was held at her late home on
Saturday morning by Rev. J. P. Feltner,
assisted by Rev. DR.. Charles Ghiselin
and Rev. Mr.. Kregloe. The body was
laid TO rest in Elmwood Cemetery.
Fred Hubley, OF Harrisburg, Pa. "a line
man for the c. V. Phone Company at
Charles Town, was killed Monday when
he came in contact with high tension
wire in that place. Hubley, who was
about twenty years old, was running
loop from pole to the building OF the
Jefferson Milling Co., when his hand
came in contact with the live wire. He
fell forward on TO the roof of the build
ing, 400 volts having passed through
him, and il was necessary for number
OF men TO climb to the roof to get his
body down. His parents came down
from Harrisburg and took his body home
with them.

years, bailiff of Washington County Cir
cult Court, died OF heart disease at the

Fail to Get Their Man.

Deputy Sheriffs D. o. Bartes and E.
D. Gardner, of Martinsburg, whose eff
forts 10 secure custody of James Motley,
the man wanted there on the charge Of
passing a bad check for $3.50, and who
was arrested several weeks ago in New
York City, were the cause of much COM
ment, returned to Martinsburg Sunday
morning without their man, and it will be
necessary to send again for Motley before
he can be brought TO trial. Both officers
declare that state affairs are so badly
mixed over the impeachment proceedings
against Governor Sulzer that none fthe
police authorities would act after the re-
QUESTION papers for Motley had been
signed by Governor Sulzer, and that the
authorities either kept putting them off
from time to time or sent them from one
TO another in a chase that seemed to get
them nowhere.

August q is the day TO cut all kinds of
thistles and it is the legend that if cut on
this day you will never be bothered with
them. This originated about nineteen
years ago when it was tried by Michael
Hege, of near Marion, Pa, after being
told by a friend. He found it TO be sue
cessful. MIR. Hege had patch of Cana
da thistles and tried this and was never
bothered with them after trying this ex-
pertinent. This also applies to the
chick weed and the sand brier and other
weeds of this variety.

Got the Money.

bOt tlS hOilSy.
Claiming TO be special representative
ofthe Owls, a stranger has been operating
for several days the past week at Harper's
Ferry, Brunswick and other towns along
the Potomac river. He was very Sue
cessfuI in his operations and before Ieav-
ing for parts unknown had collected
about 81 800 and those from whom he
got the money are not members OF the
order. The stranger was well dressed,
a splendid talker and made friends
quickly. He soon gained the confidence
OF those with whom he came in contact,
and it was not long until written up. AT
each place he told his friends he would
return on certain night and institute the
lodge; but he failed to keep his promise.
The matter has been reported to the head
lodge and an effort is being made to
locate the stranger.

Narrow Escape.

Narrow Escape.
Engineman Menefee was coming up
the n. & w. about one minute late with
his passenger train and was making good
time. He blew for the Morgan'S Grove
crossing deep long blast. He neared
it and just as it came into sight buggy
with two women in il came out He
prepared for the worst; put air on, checked
speed but he knew he could not stop.
The women saw him, heard another
scream from the engine, and the driver
began Tapping the ancient horse with
the lines and saying glddap, giddap,
quickly. The animal tossed his head
and kept on crawling. The engineman
had his heart in his mouth. The animal
seemed TO reduce his gait and hit a snail
like pace; the engine was nearer and
nearer and just as the end of the buggy
slid across the track at slow crawl, the
engine shot by. The engineman wiped
his fevered brow and tossed on some
more speed. He was minute late. He
thought il was year or more.-MaH.
We have not been able to learn the
names Of the ladies who had such mar
row escape, they evidently not having
spoken OF their close call.

OLD BILL GOOD, SHE THOUGHT
Negro Woman Puts 1t in Circulation,
Believing Mr.. Wilson's Election
Restored Its Value.

Raleigh. N. C.-The Goldsboro ne
groes cleared up a counterfeit mys-
terry in the federal court of Goldsboro
when a woman confessed that she
started a Confederate bill to circulat-
ing under the belief that Woodrow
Wilson's election@restored the money
of her masters.
The case reached federal court when
hotel bell bov made demand upon
Will Love, negro, for the ten dollars
which Love received when the Con-
federate note was changed.
Love refused to pay back good
money and was arrested by United
States Deputy Marshal Smith. The
bellboy had made an effort to get the
money from a drug store, when he
was told the bill was worthless. On
trial Love, who passed the bill testi-
fed that a woman had given him the
money, declaring 1t good under the
present administration.
The woman confessed her part in 1t,
restored the ten good dollars and said
she had found the Confederate note.
The commissioner thinks the woman
received her inspiration from the per
verted promises of Wilson campaign
ers in the fall.

NEW SCHOOL IS A MODEL

New York.-The worlds most up-to-

York's educational system as a result
pf the opening here of the city's new
est high school, which at the same
time is one that in the opinion OF IA
nous educators, marks the beginning
of a new educational epoch.
This unique school will be larger
than any except a few of the great
universities, having accommodations
for $500 pupils and 22S instructors.
its curriculum will include many
branches of practical training on a
scale not hitherto attempted.
For example, there is a seven-room
furnished apartment, in which the stu.
dents of domestic science can strug-
gle with the problems of housekeep-
Ing under actual conditions, and a
model banking institution in which the
future leaders of high finance can
master its intricacies in manner

take a complete course in this indus
try, a miniature ZOO for the study
of animal life and roof conservatory
in which horticultural knowledge may
be gained in regular classes.
While vocational training is provid-
ed for in many ways hitherto unat-
tempted, the care CT the physical vel
fare and recreation of the students
has been provided for along lines
equally unique. For these purposes
the new school contains theater with
a seating capacity of 1900, in which
histrionic ability may be encouraged;
basketball courts. gymnasiums in
which particular attention will be paid
to the physical deficiencies of the stu.
dents together with their upbuilding,
