Civic League Note s.

During the month of May 1877 persons
availed themselves of the conveniences
of the Rest Room, maintained by the
Woman,s Civic League of Berkley
Springs. With few exceptions these
were people from the country. Par
ents are learning that by leaving their
little folks in careof the Matron there,
and also their parcels, trading ana shop
ping is done much more easily. with
fatigue, and in shorter time. 1t is also
a good place to rest while waiting for
the train, or friends, or others of the
family. Cots are provided for sleeping
children and tired women. AS May was
a rainy and disagreeable month, this
number of visitors to the Rest Room is
very encouraging to the Civic League.
During April the number of visitors
was 351, the Catholic Mission visitors
helping to bring the figures up. The
Rest Room is open each week day and
is free to all. Country folks are es-
pecially invited to make this cherry
room their headquarters while in town.

The Fruit Crop

Notwithstanding the big crop of
peaches and the severe drought of last
year, the crop now on the trees in this
country is the largest, by far, the grow
ers have ever had, taken as whole,
and there is every indication that the
quality will be exceptionally good. The
fruit is unusually large, and racent
rains will 60 long way toward matur-
ing it. Growers are naturally now
much interested in the price prospects.
The fact that there is bigger crop, ty
far the country oyer, than last year
would Indicate that the price outlook is
not the best, but the fact that business
conditions are far better than last year
insures the purchase aud consumption
of far larger quantity in the mar
kets, than last season. With a better
quality of fruit, the outlook for living
prices. at least, is therefore, by no
means discouraging More economic
methods of handling the orchards and
their products are likewise being prac-
ticed than formerly. Conse quently a
reasonable profit on this years crop is
hoped for, Hampshire Review.

TraveIett--By Niksah
No, 2o1, Charles Town

There is more of the blood of the
Washingtons flowing in the. veins of
residents of Charles Town, West Vir-
ginia, than of any other community in
all the world. 1t was to this town,
Just over the line from the Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia that three broth
ers of the chiIdlessfather of his count
ry moved in pre-Revolutionary days
and it was there that they reared
their families. There was Samuel old
est of the brothers, who married Eve
times and left numerous prog eny
Charles claimed the distinction of hav-
ing the town named after him and there
lived and died. John Augustine made
up the triumverate of Washingtons in
one small village and he also bore sons
and daughters.
For generations having passed, it is
but natural that the defendants of these
Stalwart brothers of Americas great
est man should have grown steadily
more numerous.
To him who gets off the train at
Charles Town there is something about
the place that gives it perculiar in
dividuality. There is touch of pro-
priety and of somewhat formal stateli-
ness about its regular streets and the
dignified sycamores that rear them
selves like country gentlemen in fresh
linen. And we'll there may be. for
George Washington himself laid down
the ground plan of the town in his sur

The Minister.
By Henry Croker.


The times are surely changing, Each
day brings some surprise; for instance,
this -the ministers are wearing red
neckties. You no longer see the par
son with white cravat, long black
coat and stove-pipe hat, bright-rimmed
glasses and a gold-headed cane, or a
cotton umbrella prophesying rain; bit
he wears derby now, or asost felt hat;
gray golf cap or something like that;
business mans coat, pantaloons well
pressed; good-ftting shoes-he is q
man we'll dressed. He likes to play
tennis. and tossee game of ball Why
you would hardly know him for min
lister at all. But his smile is like a
sunbeam; his voice is clear and sweet,
and he has way of seeing you way
across the street. When you take his
hand it has friendly feel. and if you
are in trenble he is just as true as steel.
When on the pulpit platform he does
not rant and roar, and bang upon the
Bible, and stamp upon the floor, but
he speaks as one entrusted by Him who
rules above. with a message full of
warning. full of sympathy and love.
He somehow sets you wishing you were
a better man, and gives you the assur-
ance if you want to be you can. He
tells you of Savior who not only can
forgive, but can help weak disciple q
holy-life to live. But better than his
sermons are his wayside words and
deeds. By daily loving ministries he
meets his peoples needs. He treads
in humble service the paths his Master
trod. who was the manifest of men, the
holy Son of God. The Standard, Ches-
ter, Vt.

From The Viewpoint Of The
Allies.

We published last week a pow
erful article by Owen Wister on
the duty of the United States in
the Great War.
Eliminating the English and
Belgian viewpoint, could there
be stronger appeal than that of
devastated France /?
When Germany was sending
men and munitions to crush the
American colonists, France with
her feet made possible the estab-
lishment of a government of the
people on the Western Hemis-
phere.
Has Lafayette been forgotten !
When an American contends
that the policy of the United
States is one of non interference
in European affairs and that Hol.
land, Switzerland, Greece or some
other European power should
have registered the first protest
against the violation of Belgium s
guaranteed integrity, he is told
that if this country now a world
power puts itself on the plane
of these weaker nations-menace
as they are by dismemberment-
and ignores her moral obligation
by acquiescing in the abrogatior
of treaties to which she is party,
she can no longer hope to hold
her proud place among the nations
of the earth as the champion Of
Liberty and Justice.
God grant that this country
may continue to enjoy the bles-
sings Of peace and not become
embroiled in this fearful holo
caust I
But let her keep her scutcheor
bright and continue to be the
hope and exemplar of worldwide
Democracy

he bosses the job of coming all this

that, he coins all the pesos and sub

of minted coin for the South and Contra

Gold bullion comes into the mint OF

to how Uncle Sam makes money.
The gold is paid for at the rate Of

silver content is paid for at the market
price of silver.
!. ''Standard coin of the United States
is composed of 900 parts of gold or sill

each 1000.
For the first time in the history Of
the mint" said Woolley. we are about
to make coins outside of a government
mint. This is at the San Francisco ex.
position, where a special act of Congress
permits US to mint the So cent pieces

is not the candidate of the Hat

An Arrant Snob.

When General Nelson A. Miles
refused to appear on the same
platform at the Temperance meet
ing in Atlantic City last week with
John L. Sullivan, he proved that
the Democratic party made no
mistake some campaigns ago in
refusing to seriously consider him
for the Presidential nomination.
Two thousand years ago the
doughty general would have
ranked high among the Pharisees
who chided the Master for con.
sorting with publicans and sinners
Whatever John L. Sullivan
may have been in the past-and
squarer fighter never entered
the ring-he has knocked out the
toughest adversary of them all,
one John Barleycorn, and right
minded people should delight to
honor him for the stand he is
taking for clean living and high
et civic ideals.
Robert E. Lee was great in
war but greater in peace, as one
who had always held perfect mas.

After all, could other action be
expected of Miles when one re-
calls him as the man who put the
jefferson Jefferson Davis at Fort
ress Monroe !? "a
