ALASKA COAL FIELDS.

Alaska matters moved with most desirable speed dur ing past yea under the orceul regime o Secretary the Interior Lane and the good office of congress- It IS an that the long deadlock the opening of the Alaska coal fields will be at end and that the new regulations and provisions under which the terrorys coal be leased will made public within the next three weeks.
 The advantages of the government railway and the eXpen dtre 100000 of national funds will not be fully reazed unless of the territory opened to private as well as public enterprise reasonable conservation policy has urged upon and the present admsr ton and there is every to hope that such regulations will adopted will the nation interests and at the time permit the coal heldS to be utzed at eaSolde profit to the operators.
 l. would cucumber coal land leases with such irsome provisions make them unprOhabe to pnVae operaion It will require capital to the mines and acl tate the marketing of the product Unless capital IS assured of some degree of of occupancy and fair degree o profitable investment coal fields will remain unopened
 Secretary ane is believed, appreciates this, and has sought to devise such regulations and lease provisions shall make development operation of the mines fair to the nation and fair operators If this happy result reached there can be just criticism from any quarter P.-i'

A Senegambian SquabbIe.

Last Friday there was near-tragedy
on the lot where the foundations are be-
ing prepared for c. N. Writings new
flour mill. Raymond Harris and James
Wright, brothers. n-law, both colored,
were employed on the work, and Harris
was talking to Mr.. Whiting when Wright
sneaked up behind him and struck him
one hard blow in the back of the head
with Ratchet. Harris dropped as though
he had been torpedoed by German
submarine. While attention was being
given him, Wright ran away and hid him
self. DR.. Banks was called upon to give
Harris surgical attention, and found that
he was severely injured. The Ratchet
had cut through his skull, except for the
inner plate, and though he is able to walk
about, the wound may yet give trouble.
Saturday morning Special Constables
Show and Fultz arrested Wright at his
home, and he was committed TO the
Charles Town, where he was indicted by
the grand jury on Tuesday.
1t is said that the two men had been
having trouble for some time past. II is
charged that Wrighthad been committing
depredations at the works, and when ne
saw Harris talking TO Mr.. Whiting he
imagined that he was being informed on
and so made the murderouS assault.

The Smallpox Situation.

"Of the nearly 40 persons who are
known to have contracted smallpox in
Washington county recently only one
person shows vaccination mark" said
County Health Officer DR.. d. A. Watkins,
land that person is over so years old
and was vaccinated more than IS years
ago. consider that evidence as pretty
conclusive that vaccination does prevent
smallpox, and the fact that there are in
number of the quarantinedhouses persons
with good vaccination marks who have
not taken the disease is another conclu-
sive proof, TO my mind, that vaccination
does prevent smallpox" Five new cases
OF smallpox were discovered in Sharps-
burg The past week, and Jack Taylor, at
Taylor's clubhouse, near Mondell, on
the Potomac river, has severe case OF
the disease. SharpSburg is giving the
health officers considerable concern.
The fact that the disease there several
months ago passed without any particular
attention has caused il to be spread in
the district, and there seems TO be an in
clination 10 hide IFS existence from the
health officers. The health officers have
done most of their work through receiv-
ing anonymous letters, telling of the ex-
istence of the disease.

Nice BOYS, But Not In Our Class,

The MartinSburg papers have been so
proud OF the high school baseball team
that they could see no merit in players
from any other place, and they were very
pointed in their remarks about the Shep-
herd College team last week because ii
was beaten when in crippled condition.
Last Saturday the high school boys cine
TO Shepherdstown with flags flying and
verbal artillery and newspaper bombs
all cooked and primed. They went back
home faster than the Russians retreated
from Mezoloborcz, for we licked 'em out
OF their boots and could have asphyxiated
them entirely had we not been mercifully
regardful of the rules OF civilized war
fare. Their calamity is shown by the
score-l5 to in favor Of Shepherd COL
lege. We knocked two pitchers out oil
the box and made eight runs in one inn
ing. Garfield struck out Is men, besides
doing his share at the bat. We really
felt sorry for the visitors, for they are a
fine LOT OF young fellows and we hated to
see them blown out OF the trenches in
such style. They showed their pluck by
being willing to tackle much stronger
team, and we would have been willing to
see them make better showing before
our big guns.

Told The Truth I

A suspicious looking African OF exceed
ingly dark complexion has ambled through
Shepherdstown couple OF times the past
week Juggling dilapidated but weighty
suitcase, and yesterday when he came
from Sharpsburg YEARLY carrying his
baggage it seemed reasonably sure that
he was loaded with more wet goods than
the law allows. He was arrested by
Constables Crowl and Show and taken
before Magistrate Miller, who questioned
him as TO his business here. He said his
name was Thomas and that he was from
Clarke county, Va. He declined to say
where he had been, reiterating that he
had no liquor in his understanding
but clothes. He firmly refused TO open
the bag, although the magistrate insisted
that he should do so. When he fatty
declined, one of the constables opened il
up. The onlookers watched the opera
ton with much interest, expecting to see
numerous bottles of red liquor. But there
was nothing but clothes, after all The
fellow had told the truth. There was
nothing to do but turn him loose, and he
lost no time in making tracks toward old
Virginia.

Complimentary To Miss BeItzhoover.

Complimentary To Miss BeltZhoover.
Miss Katharyn Beltzhoover, ofthe Uni
versity school OF music, gave her gradua-
ton recital in organ and piano before
large audience at commencement hall
Wednesday evening. This was the sixth
graduation recital OF the year, and while
all have been we'll attended, Miss BeltZ-
hoover's was of special interest because
she is the first graduate in organ. Her
varied programme showed the tone and
briliancy OF the great instrument TO ex-
celent advantage. Miss Beltzhoover has
mastered the difficulties OF pedaling, and
her entirework is conscientious, adequate
and convincing. In the organ group,
Rogers "lntermezzo Andantina," with
its SOFT delicate qualities, was exquisitely
played, and elected the heartiest COM
mendation by the discriminating audience.
The last organ number, the rhapsody by
Silver, formed brilliant and pleasing
close 10 this part OF the programme. In
all Of the piano numbers Miss Beltz-
hoover displayed remarkable technical
efficiency and faithful reading. Ofspecial
merit was her performance ofthe Sinding
"Serenade," with its pianissimo tone Ell
fects, and the audience heartily attested
their approval. The final number, the
light, dashing Concerto" by Mendels-
sohn, with the orchestral parts played by
Mr.. Butterfield on second piano, closed a
well-balanced programme and left a most
favorable impression with the audience.
Miss Beltzhoover was warmly congratu-
lated upon her attainments and will most
creditably represent the school from which
she is to graduate .-M0rgdntowH New

A Good Thing.

Uood lhing.
AT a session OF the Jefferson County
Court last week an order was passed by
the court that any person depositing tin
cans, brush, refuse or rubbish OF any sort
upon the public roads of the county shall
be prosecuted in conformity with the law.
This practice has been common all over
the county, but the court is determined
that il shall be stopped, as much COM
plant has been made concerning it. We
are glad that the order has been entered,
for our roads have been made unsightly
by the dumping of trash along the sides,
to say nothing of the danger OF spreading
disease in this way.
