Communicated.

Dear Mr.. Snyder-I have enjoyed
"Notes by Observer" very much in
deed, and think you are doing the
phblic a great service by telling them
something of the personal history Of
your attractive town ! wish YOU could
write scmethin. about the rccto:y ~
the Episcopal ChIrcr. There are
seven beautiful handmade mantel-
pieces in ii, and think the small bead
ing around the top CT the porch is
hand carved, for when it was built
they did no: know low to cut it oat by
machinery. The garden at the back
of the house is one of the most At
tractive feature to me, with the lawn
and border of roses las ii was when
Rev. Mr.. Ware was therc}, the high
wall toward the cemetery and the old
trees. You could hardly call the rec
tory colonial house." although il is
often spoken of in this way--.it is GER
tainly Colonial style" As | re-
member seeing in the history of Shep-
herdstown, Ann Morrow, then a little
girl, was taken by her mother on the
steamboat made by James Rumsey,
that went up the Potomac by steam OF
its trial trip in 1887. She afterwards
married the Mr.. Baker who built this
old house. | expect there is q great
deal more of interest about it than
know of. If you think favorahly of
this suggestion, will be very glad

THREE YEARS.
NAP IS ENDED
Arkansas Man Who Went to Sleep
36 Months Ago, ROuses From
Long Stupor.

Fort Smith, Ark, July 4.-Onft-
ed Press. .)-James Eschlinger, Ar
kansas Van Wrinkle" has awakened
from three years sleep.
Echlinger whose long sleep baf-
fled medical men at the hospital
where he had been cared for, is still
in a stupor.
He spoke only a few words, ac-
cording to nurses. He reused once
before several months ago, but again
Iapsed into the strange sleeping
sickness. Hospital attaches have
administered nourishment to Esch-
linger regularly during his illness.
Eschlinger, his wife and three
children came to the county hos
pitaI here ill with pellagra, seven
years ago, from their home near
Bonanza, Arkansas
The husband and father became
paralyzed for four years. One day
he went to sleep and only twice
since has he aroused for few min
utes, according to physicians, al
though nurses and other attendants
claim to doubt that Eschlinger has
been asleep at all times he was sup
posed to have been in the last three
years.
Eschlinger has been the chief at
traction for visitors during his long
sleep.

PROTESTING
WETSMARCH
IN NETWORK
Paraders Denounced by
Clergy as ''Lawless"
and "Anarchistic".

New York, July 4.-"Wets" ap-
peared in force on Fifth avenue to-
day to march in protest against
dry" laws and express their hope
for a return to moister days. The
organizers of the demonstration
said that the people of all ages and
sexes who had signed cards pledg-
ing themselves to participate
totaled in six figures, but the actual
marchers were considerably short
organizers blamed the heat and
legal restrictions on certain
methods of aueviating it that once
were in vogue.
Denounced by reformers who
tried to prevent a recent interna-
less" and "anarchistic" the parad-
ers told the world that they were
the cream and not the dregs."
The daisy was the official flower
for the parade and there were all
sorts of buttons and banners ex-
pressing hostility to the principle
that the word Volstead has come
to typify. One contingent announc-
ing itself as composed of doctors
had signs describing the medicinal
virtu IS of alcohol and certain con-
coctions thereof.
Dry Parade Ffzzles.
The dry" counter parade that
was to have been organized by a
Wall street evangelist failed to ma
terialize, but hand bills were dis
tributed giving the poor benighted
"wets" the idea of one coterie of
"drys" as to the meaning of per-
sonal liberty. Attention was called
to the fact that there would be
parade for prohibition enforcement
on Fifth avenue next Saturday in
connection with the worlds con-
vention of the United Society Of
Christian Endeavorers.
Mayor Hylan gave his indorse-
ment 10 the wet" demonstration by
consenting to review it.

SENATOR KNOX
WARNS AGAINST
RADICAL IDEAS
Speaks Against "Doc-
trir,es Born of Ills of
Other Lands" i"

Philadelphia, Pa, July 4.-(By
The Associated Press. speaking
at a Fourth of July celebration in
Independence hall today, Senator
Knox of Philadelphia warned
against the novel theories of gov
ernment and social and economic
life brought to this country by radi-
Gals from alien soil-"doctrines
born of the ills of the lands from
which they came, radical remedies,
sometimes self-annihilating to
those using them"
"Mighty Ferments at Work"
Mighty ferments are at work
amongst US, governmentally and so
cially," the senator said. To-day
there are coming to US by the mil
lions peoples from races untradi-
toned and unseasoned in self-gov-
ernment, peoples unfamiliar with
and largely unappreciative of its
goods, and untutored to tolerate
and meet its evils. There are those
amongst US who deny the very basis
of our social order, the very foun-
dation of our whole system.
''As the nations fathers fought
physical foes and subdued them"
Senator Knox continued, 80 we
must do battle with foes of the
mind and heart, we must combat
the diseased mind, and conquer
But be not, fellow citizens, 1 be-
seech you," he added, deceived or
lulled into the false security which
brings destruction"
The senator, in concluding, paid
a tribute to those honest men and
women" who have become a part of
the nations great citizenry and are
doing their part in the great ex-
pertinent of welding together in one
great and homogeneous nation the
lovers of human liberty from all
lands"
He voiced the conviction that
while being alert to its insidious
foes, the country can and is assimi-
lating those who have sought refuge
here from the expressions of other
lands.

RAIL MEN
WILL TAKE
WAGE CUT
Formal Statement From
Union Leaders Ex-
pected Soon.

Chicago, July 4.-United Press)
two milIio railroad workers
viii, how to the edict of the United
States railroad labor board and ac-
cant q II per cent wage cut, it was
revealed to the United Press today.
Union representatives, who have
been meeting here for several days
IN accept or reject the 100000, 900
annual wage slash, willissue a state
ment today agreeing that the MEM
bership of their organizations Will
work for less money, according to
reliable information.
Take Reduction Unwillingly.
The acceptance of the reduction
will be made under protest how
ever. The powerful rail unions are
expected to tell the public that the
cost of living has not decreased to
such an extent to justify a II per
cent slash.
In the same statement, which is
now being prepared, the unions
will demand that the working
agreements between workers and
railroad managements be kept in
tact.
The railroad board ordered these
agreements, which provide for
working conditions, overtime pay
and other regulations, be abrogated
and new set drawn up July l. In
ability of workers and railroads to
get together caused the board to ex-
tend the time of formulating new
agreements.
Demand Agreement Renewals.
The statement to be issued today
will demand that most of the old
agreements be reenacted.
One thousand union representa-
gives here worked all day Sunday
and were prepared to work most of
today.
Acceptance Of the cut is consid-
cred victory for the conservative
leadership of the rail unions.
Votes taken by the rank and file
OF union members indicated that
they were overwhelmingly against
acceptance of working for less pay.
