HYPOCRITES
AT Opera House, August 10th.

Gabriel, an ascetic monk OF olden
time, labors to perfect an image Of
Truth, consecrating himself with
fasting and prayer, and keeping his
work a secret. One monk, bolder
than the rest, spies upon him, but Id
blinded by the light of Truth and can
see nothing.
The unveiling Of the statue il made
a Fete Day, and all gather to listen
to the address OF the Abbot, who him-
self consents to unveil Gabriel's gift.
The covering is pulled aside, and
there stands a figure of Truth, naked.
Unable to see with the eyes of the
rush upon Gabriel, and kill him. Only
two can look upon Truth unfiinching-
ly, little child, and the woman who
loves Gabriel. 4 Magdalene looks
upon the statue and falls PROSTATE,
weeping bitterly. The woman who
loves him covers the dead Gabriel
with her veil, which turns from
white to black as she bends over him.
Nearby the Magdalene crouches.
This forms the prologue of .the
story, which, told in a reverent and
deeply religious vein, makes an inde-
lible impression and prepares the
spectator for the modern scenes
which are the main theme.
We see Gabriel as the minister OF
a present-day church, frail and ILL
but fired with divine inspiration. In
the congregation are the same peo-
pie who, in the prologue, stoned the
monk to death. Now they are bored
or shocked by his denunciation OF
hypocrisy. Only the woman who
loved him, now a singer III his choir,
and the Magdalene, who kneels in
prayer after the others have left, un-
derstand. The spying monk is now
choir-boy, surreptitiously reading a
newspaper during service.
Left alone after service, the min
lister finds the newspaper, with its
reproduction Of Faugeron's famous
painting, The TRUTH" and vague
memories stir. He sinks into o
dream His body in the form of Ga
briel, the ascetic, leaves his present
day body, and accompanied by Truth
with her mirror, visits the various
scenes Oh the story, showing him ir
this wondrous mirror of hers the real
actions Of the characters.
Hypocrites have caused greater
sensation than any other picture
ever produced.

STORM DOES HEAVY
DAMAGE.
BRIDGES WASHED AWAY AND DAMAGED,
CORN LEVELED TO THE GROUND
GUY W. BADYLONS BARN STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING AND BURNED-NATHAN
H. DIEHL STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
AND KILLED.

On Monday afternoon about OILS
o'clock the worst thunderstorm, &C
companied by heavy down pour on
rain passed over Carroll county, do
ing thousands of dollars damage to
roads, fields, bridges, etc. The storm
was accompanied by high wind and
hail, which leveled the corn fields
and damaged vegetation. The light
ming was sharp and severe.
Our oldest citizens do not recollect
a storm of its severity.
Lightning struck and killed Nathan
IA. Diehl, aged 90 years, at his home
near Stone Chapel. He was struck
in his apple orchard while taking
young chickens from under a tree.
The barn OF Guy w. Babylon, near
Wakefield, was struck and burned
with all this years crops and some
farming machinery
All OF the vehicles and a shed of
Mr.. Harry eastman, OF F'rizellburg,
were washed down the stream which
runs close to his barn. His horses
were in danger Of being swept away
by the high water also.
The barn on the farm OF the Con-
solidated Utilities Company, tenanted
by Mr.. Jesse F. Stem, at Cranberry,
was struck at the gable end, damag-
ing it considerable.
The house OF Thomas Summers,
Charles street, was struck tearing off
the weatherboarding, ripping the mat
ting from the floor and breaking two
looking glasses.
The concrete state road from this
city to Taneytown was badly dam
nf NJ fn naf
deep and eight feet long was washed
ing IL dangerous for travellers.
The bridge at Roop's Mill, near
Meadow Branch, was 50 badly dam
aged by abutments being washed
away, that the bridge was in danger
OF falling, and was closed against
travel until the repairs could be
made.
At Pleasant Valley bridge was
swept from its foundation and carried
down the stream. Many trees we're
also blown down.
The residence or Theodore Logue,
at Ogg's Summit, was struck and
damaged.
Reports from different parts or the
county say that the roads are wash
, 6Q DdQly.
Part of the railing along the Man
chester road at Cranberry was wash
ed away and the bank at the bridge
SO badly washed that it will necessi-
tate repairing.
On Tuesday afternoon and night we
were again in the grip Of a heavy
storm. a continuous down pour of
rain, with strong wind made the
night most miserable one.
Last night another heavy thunder
shower passed over here deluging US.
Drains and streams around this city
were not large enough to hold the
water. Reports state that fences and
bridges were washed away along
streams from this city to Union Bridge
Fruit growers complain of the loss
Of fruit which was blown from trees
by the storm on Tuesday.

STORM WRECKS RIVER RESORTS
Bay Shore and River View Biggest
Sufferers.

Damage amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars was left in
the wake Of the terrific storm which
passed over Baltimore and its sub
urbs late Tuesday night.
In the Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries the wreckage OF fine
sloops, motor-boats and scnooners is
drifting. Battered craft are strung
along the shores, washed up by the
turbulent waters. Practically the en-
tire yacht feet OF Baltimore has been
smashed to pieces. Out of 75 motor
boats entered at the Maryland No
tor-boat Club, only five escaped un-
harmed.
The damage at River View alone il
roughly estimated at $4,000, while
Bay Shore Park was damaged to the
extent of several thousand dollars.
In many instances shore houses were
lifted from their foundations, carried
BY the wind and deposited into the
water many feet away from their
original positions.
When the strong waves Of the
=! Patapsco flooded River View Park
1000 feet of the boardwalk was de-
molished and much OF the timber
was carried out into the river. Sew
enty lighthouses that stood on the
pier at the resort were torn from
their fastenings and thrown into the
water. The bathing pavilion and the
fireworks raft were carried away by
the wind. The substantial buIkhead
around the park was not strong
enough to hold back the onrushing
waves and this was torn to pieces
and carried downstream. Many of
the electric wires in the park we're
torn down and dozens of beautiful
/ trees uprooted and blown over The
boardwalk in front of the bandstand
was damaged and the beautiful arch
at the entrance OF the resort was al
20 damaged in many places.
The water was SO high at River
view that it rushed into the dancing
pavilion, which is "a feet from the
ground, and overturned tables and
chairs there The cement flooring
on the ground floor of the building
was flooded and the concrete sunken
h in several places.

VALLEY OF VIRGINIA.
Twelfth Letter from our Former
MelrOse Correspondent.

You will find some very fine driv-
ing and draft horses here. No trou-
BILE to find horses weighing 1900
pounds, we'll built and speedy, too.
Our town il having water works in
stalled. I saw horse pull load Of
piping weighing ton or more with
ease.
Years ago when I came to Virginia
on a visit Il met Mr.. III. w. Parr, of
Hanover, Pa, on the train near Har-
risonburg. He pointed To q field
containing hundred or more thor
oughbred horses, saying, That Is
what L am after"
Probably there isn't a town Of the
size OF Dayton anywhere to be found
boasting the number of pianos and
organs to be found in the homes OF
music-loving people. There are near
ly one hundred pianos besides many
organs, and not more than $50 hous-
es i'm the town. Besides there are
more than a hundred pianos in the
Shenandoah Collegiate Institute
buildings.
I saw a man cultivating corn. The
rows were not straight, as the check
row system, they have here calls for,
rows crooked?" iii tell you," he
said, You have not yet experienced
real hot weather here Ii gets 20
hot that corn rows are occasionally
warped"
How about the winters quickly
asked With twinkle OF his eye he
said, ''It gets moderately cold here.
One winter many years ago some
geese few on "a pond one evening,
and next morning we're frozen fast.
Some darkies wanted geese FOR din
ner and got ON the pond to capture
them The geese few away with the
darkies and that was the last seen OF
the pond, darkies and geese"
Before closing this letter we will
relate the story of the fast growing
Virginia pumpkin seeds sent from
Washington. An old man and his
son went out to field to plant The
son made a hole In the ground with
a hoe. The old man dropped some
seeds In the hole. After covering the
seeds they both ran. The old man
being ahead, got over the fence safe
ly, but the vines caught the son be
fore he reached the fence, and spun
all over him. He could not tear the
vines. Thinking OF hia knife, Inc tried
to get into his pocket but found il
impossible 70 do 20, as there were
small pumpkins i'm all of his pockets

NEW BATTLESHIP FOR THE AIR
REALM ENGLAND'S HOPE
The New Machine viii Carry is Men
and 60 Forth on the Zeppelin.

London, July 13.-The Zeppelin
raids on her own coast, together with
the remarkable exploits of airmen at
the front, have aroused England to
enthusiasm on the subject of aerial
warfare. Every man available for the
work in the country now il busy
building aircraft and it is probable
that before many weeks Great Brit
ain will have an air navy as large as
any in the world, il not larger.
The news is published now that
machines in course Of construction
will be capable of carrying sixteen
men with their accoutrements for
great distances. IL this be true the
aeroplane unit will assume an i'm
portance which cannot be estimated.
England had a horror of Zeppelins
until Flight Sub-Lieutenant Warne-
ford's exploit OF a few weeks ago
when he destroyed one Of those mon
sters of the air. Now the horror is
gone and in its place has come a
determination to destroy all Of these
pests OF the sky.
The attitude of the people was no
palmer shown than when the body
of this hero, who subsequently was
hlIlGuy IGdCAGu lOAAnOA- NhlA0 O'0AJ
honor was paid to this wearer OF the
Victoria Cross there was noticeable
at the funeral rather an air of pride
than Of sorrow. Each one of his com
rades of the Royal Flying Division
seemed to show an eagerness to do as
much as the dead hero, even If he paid
his life at the price Of success.
While the greatest secrecy il main-
tanned regarding the new aircraft
models that are being erected 1T IL
understood here that many radical de-
partures from the conventional lines
are To be made. ii is known that If
these sixteen-man aircraft are sue
cessful an effort will be made to 60
farther ahead and strive for machines
of even greater size.
1t IL pointed out that several ma
chimes might be capable Of carrying
say 100 men into the enemy's terri
tory, where they might land at points
of the greatest vulnerability and es-
cape after doing serious damage
Just when these big machines will
be ready II a matter OF doubt, but
all of London and England are wait
ing with eyes aslant at the sky In the
hope Of seeing them at work.

WILL SIGN PAPERS TO GET DRY
PARTY ON STATE BALLOT
They Naturally Got Wiped On the
Document-They Want to Pass
More Freak Laws.

Clarksburg, Nv. Va, July 15.-To
those living outside West Virginia
it may seem strange that this State,
won over to strict bootleggery, and
now the dryest state in the Union,
does not even offer place on the Off
cial ballot, in the next election, to the
Prohibition party. But such il the
case, the apparent outcome of that
clause in the new election law which
provides representation on the ballot
by that political party only which
shall have cast at least five per cent
of the total vote in the county, dis
trict, or the whole state, at the last
preceding general election, with the
exception of candidates for judges
and Presidential electors.
This five per cent limit is based on
the territory in which the candidate
would be voted for. For instance,
for county office, the party must
have cast five per cent OF the total
county vote, and so on in the Con-
gressional districts and for the State
administrative Offices, i'm the whole
state. In some counties the Prohibi-
tionists and Socialists have cast the
percentage of votes, it is believed,
and in such divisions they are en-
titled to place regularly on the bal
lot the names Of their candidates.
Otherwise, this can be done only by
repetition, which calls for the pay
ment OF the fees the same as IL the
candidates were regularly entitled to
a place on the ticket.
At the meeting here of the Prohi-
bition party the committee decided to
circulate among the members Oh
the party pledges not to participate
in the primaries Of other parties, but
to be prepared to sign their names to
such petitions as may be presented
for Prohibition candidates later.

GERMANS CAPTURE
WARSAW.
TROOPS STORM LAST LINE OF RUSSIANS
DEFENSES AND ENTER CAPITAL or
POLAND-SLAV ARMIES FALL BACK.

The Germans are in possession of
Warsaw, capital Of Poland, and the
third largest city in the Russian en-
pre-. Bavarian troops entered the
city yesterday morning, having taken
successfully the Blonie lines and the
outer and inner fortresses OF the city
itself, the Russians only fighting rear
guard actions to allow their main
army to make good its escape.
The Russians are fighting desper-
ately and stubbornly to check the
progress of these four armies and
have had several successes, inf1icting
heavy losses on their pursuers, but
they are being steadily pressed back,
which made the longer occupation OF
the Warsaw Polish salient a hazard
Gus undertaking.
Even now, although the steadiness
Of the Russian troops and their fierce
counter attack have gained much val
liable time for them, it il problemati-
cal whether the whole Russian Army
will succeed in reaching the new
positions chosen for it or whether, if
it should get there, 1t will not find
those positions turned by the Aus
trianS, who have crossed the Bug.
Indeed, the Austro-G Germans nave
set three traps to catch and destroy
the Russian Army. None OF them
was sprung, but one was so near to
closing that Grand Duke Nicholas
was forced to evacuate Warsaw and
now is fighting with all his might to
prevent the others from cutting or
his retreat
Thus far he seemingly has been
successful, for although the Germans
claim the capture of large number
OF prisoners, the aggregate Is small
when compared with the immense
forces engaged. In addition, the Rus
sian guns apparently are well on
their way to the rear.
From refugees who left Warsaw
some days ago and have arrived at
Moscow it has been learned that
Warsaw even at that early date had
been denuded Of virtually everything
that might be useful to the Teutons.
Factories had been stripped of their
machinery and all war stores moved
into the interior of Russia.
