Low-Nec cked Gowns Banned.

Low-necked or sleeveless evening
gowns, or both, will be barred from
Hood College, Frederick, in the future,
according 10 decision that has been
made and notice of which has been
sent by Miss Helen Price, the dean, to
the mothers ana guardians of all stu
dents. Restrictions set by Miss Price
Will consequently predominant at the
college next year, inaSmueh as all
gowns have to be shown to Miss Price
before they are worn, and if the re-
quirementS are not met, alterations
will have TO be made.
This move Oh the part of the col
lcge authorities is in line with move
ment that is general to check radical
fashions and TO bring about more
conservative style of female attire.
Miss Price, in her letter to parents
says:
"The fashions in evening dress dur
ing the past year have been extreme
and some of our students have shown
an inclination to follow these styles
rather than those that are more
modest and suitable for a college girl
On this account ii will be the rule for
next year that no evening dress NAV
be worn by students at Hood College
which does not have sleeves and which
is lower than four inches from the
neck line in front and six inches in the
back. All evening dresses must be
shown TO me before time for them to be
worn, and if they do not meet our re-
qulrementS, alterations will have TO
be made. Please inform your daugh-
ter of these regulations in case they
nave any clothes made in Frederick
during the college term"
During the past year certain re-
Strictlons have also been placed on
dancing at all the college functions
Cheek dancing or any kind of dancing
that resembles cheek dancing has beer
taboced this past year and the ban viii
be strictly enforced during the next
scholastic year.

DEATH is EVER BUSY.

The people of our community were
grieved and shocked yesterday morn
ing when the news became known that
Mrs. Frances Russell Bowly Morgan
wife of A. G. Morgan, was dead. Her
death was very sudden. For several
years past Mrs. Morgan had been sub
Ject TO attacks of heart trouble which
gave her discomfort, but she had re-
Gently been in fairly good health, and
! Tuesday was busy about her house
hold duties at her home north of town
Tuesday night about half-paSt eleven
o'clock she became ill, and while tbs
members of her family were minister
ing TO her she suddenly died before a
physician could be summoned. In the
passing of this good woman her fam
lily suffers an irreparable loss and our
community loses one of its nobleSt
characters. Those of her friends who
recall her coming here more than for
years ago as a sweet and beautiful
bride OF gracious manner and lovable
traits of character will testify TO the
virtues she had manifested ever since
and to her unfailing devotion to hei
family. A genuinely unSelhsh wife
and mother, a woman whose amiability
and Kindness OF heart was a household
word and daily inspiration 10 all who
knew her, how shall fitting tribute b1
paid to such a worthy Christian char
acter? The world is the better for
Mrs. Morgan having lived in it, Al
though she had her sorrows and trials
and vlciSSitudeS, she never lost her
cheeriulnesS nor her courage. With
innate sweetness of disposition and the
most remarkable charity and kindness
she saw only the good in the world
and her example of sunny brightness
and hopefulneSS and cheer has touch!
ed and gladdened many a life and
caused others to take heart and bear
their own burdens becomingly There
are many who will bear testimony tC
the example which she as a practical
Christian has set before her friends
and all who knew her. Truly her life
has not been in vain and she must
surely be at peace with God.
The deceased, who was 81 years OF
age, was born and reared in Winches-
ter. Her parents were Franklin and
Elizabeth Bowly, prominent residents
of that city. In her youth she was an
intimate friend of Miss Mary Morgan
the lovely daughter of the late Colonel
and Mrs. VIM. A. Morgan, and NOR
than forty years ago was married to
Col Morgan's son, A. c. Morgan. She
had lived in this community ever since
Besides her husband, she is survived

Leaders Must Pay Price.

There's satisfaction in being able to
do hard things. Weaklings have to be
exceptionally insignificant If they can't
do something. Then there Is large
class that can do many things indiffer-
emily. Those who can carry big loads
and carry them we'll are few. To be
in this select class appeals to most
folks, but only the few really deserve
place in it. And they do not land there
without effort. Such honOrs are mat
ters of growth. Time and toll are the
price paid for the advance. Beginning
with what comes easy the worthy ones
become experts and then add to their
sphere of achieving such things as ma
turally fall in line with their endeav-
ors. Then they grow without being
really conscious of added strength.
That comes as a glad sdrprise when
some one calls attention to it.

In the four years OF: his retirement,

One of the periodical panics of the

BINNEY
CHARMS IN "39 EAST"

Constance Binney, debutante star
of stage and screen, won the hearts
of the Grand theatre patrons last
night and which will be shown for
the last time tonight in her third
Realart picture, "39 East" the COM
edy by Rachel Crothers which is a
New York boarding house romance,
that being the location Of the shabby
genteel domicile in which much of the
action occurs, though that number IS
not far from Central Park, and when
the youthful lovers of the boarding
house find the other inmates of the
house more inquisitive than tactful,
they HE them to the famous park,
and there are shown in several de-
lightful scenes, in the real Central
Park, by the way, and not a studio
representation of New York's great
playground.
The cast with which Miss Binney
has been provided contains only one
name besides her own famous in
screen annals, that of Reginald
Denny, who plays the role Of the
eligible star boarder. The other men,
bers of the supporting cast are those
who appeared in the stage play, and
for most of them this is the first
screen experience, fact which in no
wise mars their screen performance,
however.
Mr.. John S. Robertson, who di-
rected this picture play, is to be con-
graduated for his achievement, his
second picture for Miss Binney. He
will be remembered as having di-
rected "Erstwhile Susan," the play
in which she made her Realart. debut
last season. . -.
"The Eastern Westerner," "a two
part comedy featuring Harold Lloyd,

opening scenes in which Harold is
elected from a dance hall for

dull moment.

sion of congress for the purpose OF
having it repeal the Silver act OF the
Harrison administration. The next day
he submitted himself to the surgeons
knife for the removal Of cancerOus
ulcer which had appeared in the roof
of his mouth. His grave physical con-
dition was concealed from the panicky
mind Of the public, and the operation
was performed in the closest secrecy
aboard yacht as it steamed slowly up
the East River, off New York. Not un-
til many years had passed was it
known that VIXEN congress assembled
he faced it with a rubber jaw.
Under the pressure of the president,
the Silver act was repealed but only
after bitter struggle which left the
Democratic party hopelessly split. The
passage of tariff bill divided the par
ty still more. It was such lobby
made, log-rolling measure that Cleve-
land refused to sign 1t, but let 1t be-
come law without his signature. After
that tie Democrats went down IN de-
feat in the congressional elections OF
1894.
In the depth Of our domestic
troubles the president sent his famous
Venezuelan message to congress-. In
it he announced that the British gov
ernment had rejected all our appeals
for the arbitration Of land dispute
which it was pressing in South Amer
lea, and he boldly proposed that we
ourselves should decide the question
and then proceed to enforce our de-
| cision. !
Stocks tumbled headlong In Lon
don and New York, and there was
much wild talk on both sides OF the
Atlantic. But the president confidently
reassured his troubled private secre-
tary, "Thurber, this does not mean
war; it means arbitration" AID that
was the outcome Of all the hubbub.
Cleveland's outburst Of plain speaking
had the effect Of awakening the Eng
lish people, as never before, to the val
ue Of American friendship, and 1t
| opened q new era in the relations OF
! the two governments.
Clevelands hardest, longest battle In
his second administration was for the
gold standard. Almost alone he upheld
it through four years. abandoned oy
most of the Democrats and unaided by
the gold Republicans in congress, WHO
were afraid of hurting the party"
with the silver people.

LAUGH PR0VOKERS

A wholly delightful and pleasing
play is "Nurse Marjorie," in which
Mary Miles Minter appears as the
star at the Elko theatre tonight, last
times. The combination of star and
story is a particularly fortunate one,
and in dainty nurses uniform, Miss
'Minter is more bewitching and pref
tier than ever.
The story moves along very rapidly
provoking laughter that seems inces-
SAINT. The members of the cast, in
support of Miss 4Minter, do admirable
work and the deft hand Of William
Desmond Taylor, the director, is seen
throughout the picture. For once we
find in Nurse Marjorie' an excellent
combination of author, star, story
cast and director. "Nurse Marjorie"
is a Realart picture.
Another feature, also at the Elko
last times tonight is Mack Sennett's
two part comedy, me Quack Doct-
or" 1t also presents entertai nment
of the kind most people enjoy.
