agreed to ship the other five cases

USE OF SYNAGOGUES
FOR SOCIALS MOOTED

Baltimore, Md. Jan. 17-Cnly one sub
ject interested the Union of American
Hebrew congregations and the Fedora
tion of Temple Sisterhoods, in joint ses-
sion here, today. That was the question
OF whether the synagogue should be
place for religious devotions only, place
for purely spiritual affairs. or whether its
influence should be extended to include
social activities within the walls Of the
temple. and even III some cases GYM
nasium.
The discussion was based upon paper
by DR.. Jacob H. Hollander. of Baltimore,
in which he said that one of the charac-
teristics of the age was a decline OF spirit-
NAL feeling among young people. some OF
the delegates regarded this as a rap At

aged wisely and honestly by the incom-
ing members. Mr.. Waldeck issued a
statement before election IN which he
pledged himself TO enforcement OF the law
without fear or favor and to use his best
endeavors to place the town government
on a just basis. We are quite sure that
he will do his best 10 keep his pledge.
The retiring administration has done
much good work during the past several
years, and as rule has been commended.
Its differences with the fire company have
caused a good bit OF trouble. and the re-
suit OF Mondays election shows that the
rehabilitation OF the old market-house
building was not popular move. Natur-
ally the council that is in power is that
upon which disfavor falls, and the present
administration had TO be the goat.
Now that the election is over, we hope
that no i'll feeling will remain, but that all
good citizens will unite in working for
the best interests of old Shepherdstown.

In the Circuit Court.

The Jefferson Circuit Court was en-
ployed on Friday and Saturday OF last
week, says the Advocate, with the trial
OF the condemnation suit instituted by the
Northern Virginia Power Company VS..
D. ]. Howell. The power company seeks
to condemn tract of land containing less
than three acres owned by the defendant
at the old Watson factory site on the
Shenandoah river for the purpose OF in
creasing the height of its dam, located
about a half mile below the Watson fac
tory. The proposed increase in the
height OF the dam would raise the Level
OF the water above the dam. so that the
land singled out for condemnation would
be flooded and consequently OF no value
to the owner. A jury heard evidence in
the case to determine whether the Shen-
andoah river at its normal stage OF water
is navigable stream. Before the teSti-
mouy presented by the power company
was concluded, Judge Woods ruled tina
the company under its charter had the
right TO condemn private property, where
upon compromise was effected. The
terms OF it have not been divulged for
publication, yet the Advocate learned
from a source considered reliable that the
company is to pay 5000 for the land de-
sired, and also the cost OF the litigation
growing out Of the condemnation proceed
ings.
A. Kaplon, Harper's Ferry merchant,

The Register sanctum Gets Surprise.

The Register Sanctum Gets Surprise.
You won't know the editors sanctum
when you come to visit the Register next
time, for we have just gotten rid of dirt
and dust and trash in general that has
been in process OF accumulation for the
past TWENTY-FIVE years.
The first thing to 60 was our collection
of curios and relics OF various sorts that
has been our pride and which had grown
to be an interesting and valuable little
museum through the gifts OF many friends.
We have donated this collection to the
Shepherdstown Graded School, and il is
to be the foundation of museum which
we hope will grow into areally important
thing for our community. The board Of
education OF the district has authorized
the construction OF suitable cases for these
articles, and they will be properly label
ed and cared for. In the collection are
many Indian curios, relics from the Rev.
dictionary War and the Civil War, articles
OF especial local interest and curiosites
from all over the world. II is hoped
that the people OF the town and neighbor-
hood will see the desirablity OF a museum
OF this sort. and that they will contribute
curios and relics that will add greatly to
the value OF the collection. Shepherds
town and Jefferson county are rich in
articles of historical interest, and grouped
together they will make most attractive
display. Persons who will make contri-
buttons may do so through any OF the
teachers OF the graded school or the Reg
lister office.
After the relics were removed charge
was made on the dust and dirt that had
gathered since 1895. We don't like to
say how many barrels were removed,
but any housekeeper may guess. After
our office had been swept and busted and
scrubbed, VIM. B. Rutherford. the painter
and paper hanger, was called in, and
spent a few days with us, painting up in
fine style, putting some good-looking pa
per on the walls, and renovating the
place generally. We admit that il was
change for the better, although we felt
bit lonesome without the grimy treasures
and the old familiar dust covered books
and papers. When the painter got
through, we put in some new furniture,
including a handsome modern desk, hung
pictures on the wall, put rug on the
floor, and are now so spick and span in
our office that we feel different atmos-
phere. With such pleasant surroundings
and convenient equipment, we are sure
that we are better fitted for efficient work,
and our readers may expect change for
the better in the Register. We have also
resolved 10 clean house oftener than once
in twenty-five years.
We invite all of our friends and sub
scribers to come in and see our new
quarters and join in our admiration party
but don't stay too long il We are busy.

Town Administration Changes.

The town election on Monday resulted
in change of administration, the present
council giving way 10 an entirely new set
OF corporation officials. The election on
Monday was the most holly contested
town election we have had here in years,
and wasiin strong contrast with that of a
year ago, WREN there was only one ticket
in the field. There were two tickets this
year, one headed by Mayor U. S. Martin
and the other by ]. Lester Waldeck. The
issues were plain, the fire company being
strongly opposed TO the administration
because of many differences, and the new
water and light company also being
against Mayor Martin. Both sides had
their workers on hand early in the morn
ing, and they remained on duty all day
long. While the electioneering was
spirited, there was no i'll feeling TO amount
to anything, and no unpleasantness oc-
cured.
For the first time in corporation cleo
ton the Australian ballot system was used,
and it was demonstrated TO be the right
thing. The voters cast their ballots as at
State elections, and though there was a
good deal of cutting OF tickets, only two
or three ballots were spoiled.
The entire ticket headed by Mr.. Wal
deck was elected by safe majority, Mr..
Waldeck's plurality over Mayor Martin
being A. The total vote cast was 227,
and the several candidates received the
following:
