ATTENTION, KNIGHTS OF
PYTHIAS.

All members of Blue Ridge Lodge
Knights of Pythias are requested to
attend the next regular Convention
on Friday evening, September Is.
The old regulars have a treat in
store for all who are fortunate
enough to come out at this meeting.
The meetings for the past month
have been most interesting and all
members who are not attending as
they should are missing lots of good
things. Our worthy past chancellor,
Brothcr j. N. S. Waters, who is an
orator of no mean ability and who is
also one of Uncle Sans trusty
servants, will be the speaker at this
convention. 'John" has something
up his sleeve, he says, and those who
stay away are going to miss some
thing you bet. Everybody turn out.

MISS DOAN VICTIM OF
NEPHRITIS, DIES AT HOSPITAL
HERE.

Miss Mary A. c. Doan, of Hadley
Indiana, a graduate of Bryn Mawr
College, Bryn Mawr, Pa, graduate
nurse and recently doing social relief
work in Philadelphia, died at the
Charles Town Hospital early Sun
day morning, September 8, of acute
nephritis.
She died here as as result of a
lapse of memory suffered some time
Friday and Saturday evening when
she alighted from a west bound
Baltimore and Ohio train at Har-
pers Ferry. Her power of recollec-
ton had deserted her in part and
she could not recall either where
she had originally intended to go or
why she left the train at Harpers
Ferry. She sought an Episcopal
rector there but unable to find one
was referred, it is understood, to a
Methodist pastor whom she asked to
take her to a reputable
physician and she was referred to
DIR. B. B. Ransom to whom she told
her story,-that she was i'll and had
suffered a lapse of memory. He
urged her to enter a hospital which
she agreed to do and he brought her
here about s 80 Saturday night. She
was entirely conscious and rational
in all respects except as regards the
name of her sister, her intended
destination, her reason for stopping
at Harpers Ferry and some other
facts which the hospital authorities
endeavored to get. She talked free
ly and fully except that she did not
volunteer information. During the
night she developed the nephritis
and died about $50 Sunday morn
ing, conscious almost to the end.
A search of her pocketbook, after
her death disclosed her name as
J that given above and her address as
the Hamilton Apartments, 39th and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia. In
the handbag were found about eight
dollars in cash, and a cash deposit
slip with the Hamilton Trust Com
pany, Philadelphia, dated September
first. She was well dressed and her
manner and address indicated refine
ment and culture. She told the
hospital attendants of her college
and professional work and said she
had been doing social service work
in Philadelphia. She gave her age
as 20.
Through Mr.. and Mrs. William
Slavery, of Harpers Ferry, the latter
of whom had been a warm friend of
the Doan family in Indiana and who
knew of surviving sister, COM
munication was established with rel
atives- Mr.. Savery, it is under
stood, had read in a PHILADELPHIA
paper that Miss Doan was missing
from Philadelphia. A sister, Mrs.
Sidney Hutton and Mr.. Hutton, of
Browns Mills, New Jersey, reached
Charles Town and took charge of
the remains which were forwarded
to the former home of the deceased
at Hadley, Indiana, near Indianap-
oils, for burial.
From the relatives it was learned
that Miss Doan had been preparing
to go to western Pennsylvania to
do relief work with miners but they
did not know to just what point she
expected to go. The last that they
knew of her movements before adj.
vised of her death was the trip ia
the bank.

time
Dear Cedars:
"Saplings are necessary for the
Forest. Dig around in your friend
ly garden, yank out likely looking
root. Explain to him the vicissi-
tudes, the beauties, the delusive
shams, the unseen realities of the
country whence he is headed. I'm
ravel the hidden mysteries of the
darkening, glittering shades of
blacklist day and lightest night that
will penetrate the piercing ball
shaped visual organs, the hideous,
roaring temptestuous sounds that
will bang his auditory nerves as his
ankle projectors thread past the in
genious exquisite tableau of the
alchemist's den, deeply snuggled
away in the splinterless forest! Wax
eloquent on the galory of fabulous
freaks, the goat, the officers and the
menagerie he will see.
"And to you, old Cedars! Ca
Jole yourself, you're it. Come and
rejoice, follow the lane to Blissville.
Forget the forlorn hopes of petrifed
personalities that look upon life as a
burden. Dispel the blues, smile and
come along. To be a regular Cedar
is to be a gentleman, a credit to
society, a friend to the friendless, to
scatter sunshine, dispel gloom,
spread good cheer. Be live wire.
dead one always rusts. Hooch
yourself full of enthusiasm! En-
thusiasm is the generating power
that moves the world. 1t is the
dynamic of constructive thinking: it
originates, promulgates and creates
run, frolic and fellowship-three at
Of Cedardom."

BURIED THE WRONG MAN.

Several weeks ago the Spirit con-
tanned a notice of the death of S.
Edward Grove, Of Harpers Ferry,
who was we'll known in Charles
Town, and of his burial at Keedys-
vile, Nd A telegram had been sent
to his BROTHER Philip Grove, of
Sharpsburg, announcing the death,
and the latter, after communicating
with Washington, gave instructions
to have the body prepared for burial
and sent to Keedysville for inter
ment. The funeral was held at that
place, but on the advice of the un-
dertaker in charge the coffin was not
opened and no inspection was made
of the body, which was given decent
burial after a short service. The
message announcing the death was
from some unknown person, and the
statement was made that Mr.. Grove
had fallen on the street soon after
he had left hotel, dying almost i'm
mediately. Later some of his cloth
ing was sent to Harper's Ferry and
also a bunch of keys. The clothing
was not recognized as that which he
had worn, and it was considered
rather curious that the keys fitted
more of the furniture or articles in
his room.
One day last week in Washington
some one in the presence of Mr..
Goheen, an uncle of Rev. Father
Curran, of Harper's Ferry, spoke
about the death of Mr.. Grove. "Mr.
Grove is not dead" said Mr.. Goheen:
Jc POL 7
saw him there yesterday" He was
told that he was mistaken, that Mr..
Grove was dead and buried, but he
persisted that he knew what he was
talking about As a result of his
assertions Mrs. Curran, Miss Agnes
Gibson and others who knew Mr..
Grove went to St. Elizabeth's, and,
sure enough, there he was-and he
hadn't heard word about his
DEATH He was very feeble, how
ever, both in body and mind, and
was unable to give any information
concerning the strange mix-up.
Word was sent to Mr. Groves rela-
tives here and in Sharpsburg, and
Mr.. William Butler was home on
Sunday and confirmed the story.
There seems to be no solution of
the mystery so far There is abb
solutely no clue as to the identity
of the man who was buried in
Keedysville, no papers or other
marks of identification being found
upon his person, nor is it known
why he should have been mistaken
for Mr.. Grove. The strange event
has caused good deal of comment
in this neighborhood, and is a source
of considerable annoyance to Mr..
Groves relatives, who have caused
to be inferred in the home cemetery
an unknown stranger.

DEATH OF J. S. WOODY.

Word was received here Wednes-
day of the sudden death in Roanoke,
Va, of Mr.. James S. Woody, son of
the late Jas. P. H. and Ellen
Woody. "Ban" as he was better
known to Charles Town folks left
here about 80 years ago for Roam
oke. He was for number of years
baker for the late Gustav D.
Brown, ST., and afterwards went in
to the boot and shoemaking bust
ness here. He is survived by one
brother, Mr.. A. L. Woody and three
sisters, Mrs. w. H. Moore, Mrs. J..
w. Carney and Mrs. j. Andrews
residing here and one sister, Mrs.
Jno. E. Hough residing in Roanoke.

Winchester is raising 100000 for

jected. Frederick, Md, is building
one, he says that will cost 100000,
