"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" ESTABLISHED 1882 'CROSS CURRENTS' DEALS WITH SUPREME SACRIFICE Two Women Win a Man—Older Gives Way That Child of the Younger One May Enjoy Its Heritage One May Enjoy Its Heritage. A thrilling story of an older sister's sacrifice for a younger one and her child is told in the new Triangle production, "Cross Currents," which will be seen at the Central next Monday. Helen Ware plays the role of the elder sister, Elizabeth Crane, and Teddy Sampson that of Flavia Crane, the younger sister. Courtenay Foote, appears as Paul Beale, the fiance of Elizabeth, who afterward marries Flavia. Elizabeth Crane lives and entertains lavishly in a beautifully furnished home in Washington. She is the fiancee of a clever young diplomat, Paul Beale. Elizabeth is a somewhat thoughtful young woman, who is interested in charities, as well as things of the social world. Her younger sister, Flavia, returns from two years of schooling in Paris. Paul becomes fascinated by the girlish ways of Flavia and turns instinctively to her rather than to the more mature Elizabeth. Finally Elizabeth realizes at a dance that her lover has transferred his affections to Flavia, and she releases him from his engagement to her. They follow the marriage of Paul and Flavia. Silas Randolph (Sam DeGrasse) at tempts to win Elizabeth, but fails. He gets up a party to go cruising on his palatial yacht. After some persuasion by Silas' sister, Mrs. Van De Veer (Vera Lewis), sorrowful Elizabeth is persuaded to accompany the party. It also includes Pauls and Flavia. The yacht is destroyed by fire. Flavia is rescued by a sailing vessel after a night in the water. Elizabeth and Paul drift ashore on a desert island. The woman takes care of the man, who has been injured during the accident and has become almost helpless. Silas gets to shore on another part of the same island. He comes across the other two survivors. Elizabeth has found some food and feeds the ravenous man. He becomes demented and attacks her. Paul intervenes, but is easily thrown off. Then Elizabeth man ages after a struggle to kill him with a knife. She is horrified at the deed, though in self lefense. Her attention becomes now centered in caring for the injured Paul. He recovers his strength and aids her in making garments out of sailcloth and in catching fish and devising furniture. After a long time he claims her as his wife, as he says the sea has given her to him. Meanwhile Flavia has given birth to a child and is living in her beautiful home in Washington. In her love for her sister she has an intuition that she may have escaped the peril of the sea. She goes with a searching party and a ship to examine the island near which the yacht was wrecked. Paul and Elizabeth see them land. Paul wants to keep away from the party, having grown to love Elizabeth dearly. She tells him that he owes it to his wife and the baby to return to her. Elizabeth then hastens away and drowns herself before Paul can prevent her. When finally the party arrives where Paul is sadly looking out at sea where Elizabeth disappeared his wife throws her arms around him, but with no response. She asks him if he is alone, and he replied bitterly. "All alone!" Willie Hearst is the busiest man on the continent. He has both the Mexican and Irish revolutions on his hands.—Rochester Herald. MARTINSBURG. SHOULD CONTROL CHERRY BEETLE Recommendations for the Control of An Insect That Is Periodically a Serious Pest in Orchards. The appearance in enormous numbers of the cherry leaf-beetle in the spring of 1915 resulted in a study of this insect, the results of which have just been published by the department in a professional paper, Bulletin No. 352, "The Cherry Leaf Beetle—A periodically Important Insect Enemy of Cherries," by R. A. Cushman and Dwight Isely. The 1915 outlook was by far the worst that fruit growers have yet experienced. That ear the beetle proved destructive throughout the greater part of New York, Pennsylvania, and northern West Virginia, and also in the northern part of lower Michigan, where cherry growing is very extensive. The entomologists who studied the insect at that time now recommend that for peach orchards nicotine sulphate be used, and for cherry trees sweetened arsenate of lead. These are the only two cultivated fruits that the beetle attacks. Sweet cherry and lum are not in danger and the thicker leaved varieties of the sour cherry are much less seriously injured than the thin-leaved kinds. The nicotine sulphate used in the experiments consisted of a solution of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate, 1 part to 600 parts of water, to which was added fish oil soap at the rate of 2 pounds to 50 gallons of liquid. The spray does not cause the same injury to peach foliage that is likely to follow the use of strong mixtures of arsenate of lead. It is, however, only temporarily effective, and an application one day does not prevent an invasion of the orchard on the following day. For cherry trees arsenate of lead must be applied at a rate of not less than 5 pounds to 50 gallons of water The addition of malasses at the rate of 11-2 gallons to 50 gallons of the mixture makes the spray much more effective, but, on the other hand, the addition of this sweetening allows the spray to be more easily washed off by rains. In favorable weather, however, the effect of the spray is continuous. Should the beetle migration occur during a rainy period the unsweetened arsenate of lead may be used. As the beetles feed on the under side of the leaves, care must be taken to cover these with the poison spray. In some instances it may be necessary to spray only young cherry trees or older trees of the thin-leaved varieties. THREATENED TO KILL WIFE AND DAUGHTER Did George White So His Wife and Daughter Declare—Lodged in County Jail. Last evening shortly after dark the officers were told by an Italian at police headquarters that there was a murder being committed at a certain house in North Center street, where upon they soon went to the home where the Italian directed them, it being that of George White. Mrs. White and daughter stated to the police that White and a man by the name of Stum had threatened their lives. Stum had fled and thus far has not been located. White denied the charge, but nevertheless, was brought to the lockup after which he was taken to the county jail. ARMY COMPROMISE BILL IS REPORTED To Both Branches of Congress By the Senate and House Conferees Today. WASHINGTON, May 13.—The defense force in time of peace will be more than 650,000 men, according to the proposed army bill which was today reported to both branches of congress by the senate and house conferees. The new measure, it is thought, is a compromise and includes all the features urged by the "big army men" except the federal reserves. It provides for a force of 206,000, and the power of the government to take over the munition plants. Four major generals and nine brigadier generals are also added. DINERS TO OPEN STATE CAMPAIGN Fifty-three dinners on the fifty-third anniversary o" the admittance of West Virginia to the Union will open the state membership campaign of the State Board of Trade. The dinners will be served with West Virginia products alone as the bills of fare on June 19, which is the fifty-third anniversary of West Virginia's birthday. This announcement was made by Secretary Henry H. Archer, of the State Board of Trade, who returned from a trip visiting constituent member boards. The McKeand Bureau has been wired the authority to start on their campaign, and between now and June 19, they will conduct an educational campaign, pointing out the greatness of this state, her possibilities, and the need of subscribing to the State Board as a medium for increasing the influence and prominence of the state as well as for its more complete development. At the meeting at Parkersburg last Saturday it was decided to adopt the McKeand plan, and to go on with the campaign. Secretarq Archer was instructed to inform the member boards of the action, and to urge them to do their utmost to make the campaign a success. In accordance with these instructions he has visited a number of boards the past week, among them Huntington, where he was accorded a royal reception. The complete assurance by that organization that it will co-operate was given. Similar encouragement was the result of his visits to other boards. On June 19, at the dinners addresses will be made by representatives of the bureau explaining the plan, and thereafter an energetic campaign will be waged by the representatives of the bureau. The dinners will be held in various cities of the state at fifty-three points yet to be chosen. West Virginia products will alone be used, and the setting will be entirely West Virginian in every detail. Militiamen Signify Their Willingness to Volunteer for Foreign Service. PITTSBURGH. A canvass of the Pennsylvania militia units to ascertain the sentiment towards foreign service is believed to be under way, following the lineup of the strength of the eighteenth regiment here. It was learned today that when the men of the eighteenth regiment gathered at the army for dismissal from strike duty the officers asked if they were willing to volunteer as a unit for possible foreign service in the event of a federal call. Only a few were not, ready, but they will give an affirmative answer. It is stated that the First and Third Pennsylvania brigades might expect a call to mobilize "some time next week." HON. J. W. HARMON, OF PARSONS REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE LONG TERM NOMINA TION FOR CONGRESS. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH BY NELSON MILLER. Department of Archives BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED MAY 20, 1916 VO HON. J. W. HARM REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR TION FOR CONGRESS. B NELSON Mr. Harman was born on a farm near Macksville, Pendleton Co., West Va., Apr. 1, 1869, youngest child of David H. and Cynthia J. Harman. His grandfather on the paternal side was Samuel Harman a prominent farmer of that section, and his mother's father was Solomon Hedrick one of the largest farmers of the North Fork valley, both being prominent families. His father was a first cousin to Hop, George Harman, Republican nominee for Congress in 1890. He spent his early life on the farm and received only such educational advantages as the common schools afforded up to the age of 16. His mother died when he was an infant and his father lost his health in the Civil war in behalf of the Union. This made it necessary for young Harman to rely upon his own efforts to obtain any educational advantages beyond what the common schools afforded, such advantages being very meager at the time, he often having to stay out of school in order to attend to the farm work on account of his father's poor health. But notwithstanding such hanicap, he determined to educate himself, and by working on the farm; at public work; clerking in stores and such other employment as could be had, he managed to obtain money to enable him to prepare to teach school and he taught for seven terms in the public schools of his section; and by teaching in the winter and working between terms, he acquired enough money to attend the Shenandoah Institute at Dayton, Va., thence going to the West Virginia University where he obtained his law degree in 1892, from which date he has been engaged actively in the practice of the law, locating for a time at Petersburg, Grant County, then for a short period of time at Harman, Randolph county, and in 1901, locating permanently at Parsons. CHANGE IN RULES HAVE BEEN MADE B. R. L. Will Have Late Revisions Boycr Advised His Umpires President Boyer was in conference over some new ground rules of the National League which the local executive inaugurates in the Blue Ridge this season. One is that a player, in case of emergency, may be put into a game with a different uniform than his teammates. That is if he is wearing a road uniform and his club happens to be playing at home he will not have to change getting into the game and vice versa. The other abolishes the senseless system of calling out a runner if the third-base line coach touches him. Often a coach would run out and unconsciously pat a runner, while al- While in Randolph county he was made the Republican nominee for Prosecuting Attorney over his protest. Within four months after his removal to Tucker county, he was selected by a council of opposite politics to be Mayor of his city, without his solicitation. Since locating at Parsons, he has been actively engaged in every movement for the betterment of social, political and business conditions, and organized and served as President of the First National Bank, now a prosperous business institution. Mr. Harman is a member of the Odd Fellow and Modern Woodmen lodges of his city, is one of the leading members of the M. B. Church; is one of the ablest and most successful lawyers of his section, and is specially known for his sterling honesty and fidelity in his dealings with his clients and fellow men, it being freely said of him that he cannot be bought. From boyhood he took an active interest in both state and national politics, making speeches for his party in nearly every campaign, and in 1912 was made one of the Republican Presidential Electorsat-large. In the Republican convention held at Elkins in 1914, when Hom. Geo. M. Bowers was made the nominee for Congress, his name was before the convention as a preliminary to his present race, and although he had made practically no effort to get delegates, yet he had his own county delegation solid on every ballot and considerable outside support, and it was the general impression that if he had been made the nominee at that convention, he would have been elected to Congress, so favorable was the impression he made in the convention. He believes that a man should be as honest in politics as he is in his business or religious affairs. He stands for honesty, economy and efficienty in cur government. ways regret and chagrin would follow. Even if it was a homer, the runner would be out. Now the only case he will be called out is when a coach by touching him intereres with a play or player of the opposing team. These amendments were adopted by the National League this season. The same scale of fines that were in effect last season will be employed, namely $2.50 for minor offense and $5.00 to get chased from the game. Britons and Turks have fought hard but without frightfulness. Now the Turks are letting the British send a ship to Kut to get the sick and wounded of the surrendered garrison.

Drawar 869, and Bell 'Phone 60K. Martinsburg, W. Va. SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1916. The latest exchange to reach our table is the Florida Sentinel, published in Jacksonville, and edited by J. H. Ballou. It is a welcome visitor, gives every evidence of being run by an experienced newspaper man, and is a credit to the city in which it is printed. The Press notes with pleasure that Prof. Byrd Prillerman, President of the West Virginia Colored Institute, is on the program for an address at one of the sessions of the West Virginia State Sunday School Convention which meets in Morgantown this week. Prof. Prillerman is a good speaker, an earnest man, and will reflect credit upon the race with which he is identified as a result of the honor conferred upon him. Like Banquo's ghost, some people will not down. This is fully true in the case of Miss Pauline E. Hopkins, the pioneer publisher of a Negro magazine, and at one time the editress of the Colored American Magazine. We say, as above, because Miss Hopkins is again at the helm of a publication for people of color, viz., the New Era Magazine. Its physical makeup is equal to the best, and its intellectual bearings are high class. It is possible for the best of us to get on the wrong track now and then, but from the high cost of living food stuff, in face of the fact our country has never before had such a prosperity and made as much money as it has owing and owing alone to the European war; now, if our preface be true, what would have been our condition had there been no over-the-sea war? As it looks to us - absolutely almost starvation. When bad Negroes in this community are walking around hunting for their adversaries with revolvers and shotguins, they should stop for a moment and soberly think that Martinsburg and Berkeley County are civilized, and not a rough mining camp or backwoods neighborhood. Had there been a calling to account and arresting of a band of "rough neck and hill billy" Negroes on the afternoon of Monday, May 8, when they terrorized the section lying west of and on Martin Street, the killing of "Bud" Twyman by his brother "Gyb" would have been an impossible occurrence. The Pioneer Press is in a quandary why England seemingly stands aloof from France in her death struggle to keep Germany from Paris. Russia has gone to France's aid. When the war closes what will France think of England? Looks to us with England's brutality to Ireland, she will have more foes after the war than she has now. If that be true, is not another war possible with England. If there be , she will at its close claim no longer that the sun never sets on her territory. It matters not what crime a person commits, there is law a plenty to be applied to him. But when men disregard the law and take human beings for alleged crimes, hang them and shoot them full of holes and then drag the dead body over the streets of a certain Texas town this week is terribly shameful. What kind of a crop of the South's children will such horrifying brutality grow into men and women? They are bound to be uncontrollable murderers not only of other peoples but of their own, as Powell Clayton said thirty old years ago that by lynching Negroes the whites would in time find as much delight in lynching their own people, and they are doing it. Lincoln, by some mysterious power of forethought and sight said things in a way that clinched and explained themselves. Every prediction of his materialized into crystallization of truth. That slavery brought on the war every same thinker agrees, and Lincoln told in his inimitable way when it would end—"Not until every drop of blood drawn from the black man's back by the white man's lasa shall have been repaid by the sword so just is God." Believing God spoke through that great and good man, what is going to happen again to settle up the lynchings, shootings, burnings and dragging of dead bodies through streets, and decorating tables with charred human remains, while Americans old and young eat away in great glee? CONTROVERSY OVER THE KEATING BILL Reply to Attack on Bill by Britt, of North Carolina, Published In Full. The Child Labor Bulletin for May which has just been published contains the proceedings of the child labor conference held in Asheville, N. C., in February, which culminated in an attack on the Keating federal child labor bill by Congressman J. J. Britt, of Asheville, and an answer to Mr. Britt by Congressman Keating himself. Mr. Britt's speech at his own request, is not published, but a synopsis of its main arguments is giver and Mr. Keating's reply is printed in full. Mr. Keating shows that Mr. Britt's constitutional arguments are wrong and asks if it is not "just a little strange that among all those splendid gentlemen who sit on the Republican side of the house, only two, when the vote came, found themselves under the snell of "constitutionitis" (a disease which Mr. Keating describes as playing "great havoc among statesmen and near-statesmen") Parker, of New Jersey and Britt, of North Carolina were the only Republicans who voted against the bill and Mr. Keating asks if it is possible that they are "the only constitutional lawyers on the Republican side of the house and the only constitutional gentlemen." His speech ends with an appeal for a favorite vote in the senate so that the supreme court may have a chance to pass on the measure, and he reminds his opponents that "if we are beaten in this congress, we will bob up serenely in the next." Other interesting features of the proceedings are the telegrams sent the National Child Labor committee by the Southern Textile association, and the arguments of Mr. Hudson C. Miller, secretary of the Southern Cotton Manufacturers' association against the Ketting bill. That the sentiment in the south is predominately for a federal child labor law is shown in the great number of strong speeches for it made by southerners. Their standpoint is well summarized by Dr. George T. Winston, of Asheville, former president of the University of North Carolina who says, "As a citizen of North Carolina by birth, by education, and by residence, as a southern man, as a democrat, as a states' right man, I say, that if the fathers and mothers of little children will not take care of them, if the com- munitiles they live in will not take care of them, if their states will not take care of them, then in God's name, let them have the protection and care of the great United States." Copies of the proceedings may be purchased for 50 cents from the National Child Labor committee. 105 East 22d street, New York City KNIGHTS TEMPLAR ELECT; FRANK W. VAN HORN CHOSE FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONCLAVE OPENS IN CLARKS-BURG. MORE THAN 1,000 IN PARADE GRAND COMMANDRY BALL LAST NIGHT. WHEELING WILL PROBABLY GET CONCLAVE BUT MARTINSBURG WILL WIN FOR 1910. The following officers were elected last night by the West Virginia State conclave. Knights Temple, which opened its 42d annual session at Clarksburg Wednesday; Luther W. Blaney, Wheeling, grand commander; Thomas C. Bowling, Charles Town deputy grand commander; Ed R. Patton, Parkersburg, grand generalissimo; Charles A. Sinsel, Grafton grand captain general; C. C. Dusenberry, Huntington, grand senior warden; Frank W. VanHorn, Martinsburg, grand junior warden; W. L. Gravett, Charles Town, grand prelate; J. S. Vandervort, Weston, grand treasurer; Francis E. Nicholas, Fairmont, grand recorder. More than 3,000 Knights and their wives are in attendance. Following welcoming addresses, the annual address of the eminent grand commander, Luther H. Clark, of Kyle, was delivered, Francis E. Nicholas, grand recorder, reported that the total increase since the last conclave was 233, bringing the membership up to more than 4,300. The feature of the day was the street parade of uniformed Templars held yesterday afternoon. All of the 21 commanderies in the state were represented and more than 1,000 Knights were in line. Many of the companies were accompanied by bands and the parade was headed by the First Regiment band of the West Virginia National Guard. Two new commanderies are expected to be added to this conclave, Mount Hope, of Mount Hope, Fayette county, with 116 members, and Damascus of Keyser. Following the parade a reception to the visiting women was held at Masonic Temple. After a reception to the officers of the grand commandery last night the annual grand ball was held. The business sessions of the grand commandery were concluded this morning. A ceremonial session of Nemes? Temple of the Mystic Shrine will be held here this afternoon and night as an aftermath of the grand commandery conclave. More than 100 new members will be admitted to the order and a grand Oriental street parade will be held. A report from Clarksburg today said that the Martinsburg delegation had made a strong bid for the next conclave, but the indications were that Wheeling would win. However should Wheeling win, Martinsburg is promised the 1918 conclave without fail. Later - next annual meeting will be at Martinsburg. BAPTISTS SHOW BIG GAIN DURING YEAR 106,791 Accessions to Church Reported at Northern Convention—Southern People Meet. The five-year program adopted last year, calling for 1,000,000 new members, $2,000,000 endowment for retired pastors and missionaries, $6,000,000 for educational work and 5,000 American missionaries, has made marked progress during the last few months, according to reports submitted to the Northern Baptist convention at Minneapolis, Minn., yesterday by the general committee in charge of the program. The reports showed 106,791 accessions to the church, an increase of 21,703, or 25 per cent above the previous year. "It must be borne in mind." the report said, "that the greater part of the year for which the statistics are compiled had passed before the adoption of the five-year program." The proposed endowment for retired pastors and missionaries increased from $295,513.62 to $779,455.45 the educational endowment was increased by $2,373,568 and results in other branches of the work laid were correspondingly encouraging, the reports declared. Division On Efficiency Plan. Today the report of the efficiency committee on the proposal to merge the missionary activities of the American Baptist Publication Society and the American Baptist Home Mission Society, the two major societies of the churches, came up. The work of the two bodies is said to overlap to such an extent that a large sum of money is wasted each year. The publication society for years has objected to the proposed amalgamation. At an open census, called to obtain information which might simplify the convention's action on the question it was declared that, were the merger effected, those who have contributed to the public to any fund would obtain an injunction restraining the carrying out of the amalgamation. "And it might be years before the question eventually reached the United States Supreme Court," said Prof. F. L. Anderson, of Newton Theological Seminary. Judge C. T. Lew's, of Toledo, member of the committee, declared officers of the publication society had threatened to secede or obtain an injunction if the convention forced an indemnification. He said in lettertaining such a threat, but withheld the writer's name. The committee's report will merely recommend that all home missionary work be directed by a single organization. Southern Convention Organizes. The Southern Baptist convention, at the opening session at Asheville, N. C., yesterday, of its annual meeting, re-elected Dr. Lansing Burrows, of Americus, Ga., president, and heard numerous committee reports, including one from the foreign mission board recommending against any union with other denominations in mission work. O. K. Gregory, of Baltimore, was re-elected a secretary of the convention and George W. Norton, Louisville, Ky., was chosen secton, Louisville, Ky., was chosen treasurer and W. P. Harvey, Harrodsburg, Ky., auditor. A plan to have the Northern and Southern Baptist conventions next year held simultaneously and in the same city gained considerable support among the delegates. Kansas City was urged as the logical place. Among the Forty-Eight States of the Union In Permanent Road That West Virginia is slowly assuming the leadership among the forty-eight states of the Union in the way of permanent road building shown by a comparison of the states in respect to money appropriated. In bound numbers there has been an appropriated in this state since 1913 the sum of $10,000,000 or $9,265,000 to be exact. The greater portion of this sum has already been spent in building improved and permanent highways while the remainder is now oblong used to accomplish that purpose. In addition the total sum of $5,495,000 will possibly be spent or will be voted upon within the near future in different counties and districts of the state. In other words bond issues aggregating the latter amount will be voted upon before summer. Should all of the bond issues now pending pass the total sum spent and provided for good road purposes in West Virginia will be $15,000,000. Since the legislature passed the law making it possible to sell bonds for the purpose of securing money to build roads over 90 per cent of the bond issues proposed have passed issues aggregating $1,147,000 have failed to get the necessary majority. In all the counties and districts where the election s have failed to result favorably conditions have arisen or previously existed that influenced and determined the issues. In road building West Virginia now stands near the top but the ultimate goal is not yet in sight, in order that West Virginia and its people shall grow, good roads must be provided because growth and development of a state is dependent in a large, degree upon the construction of permanent highways.

The one particularly adapted to railroad offices delivers the exact amount of change due a purchaser into a shallow metal receptacle when the proper keys are pressed, whence the patron, outside the window, re moves it. The other type consists of a money pocket into which the change falls when released and is handed by the ticket agent to the purchaser. The last mentioned machine has 19 keys representing amounts from five cents to 95 cents in multiples of five. For example, should one dol lar be given to the ticket seller in payment for a 10-cent ticket, the ten key being pressed, 90 cents would be delivered to the receptacle directly in front of the purchaser. Or, should 50 cents be given by pressing « red key marked 50 and pressing the 10 key, 40 cents will be returned to the purehaser. In the middle of the key- board is a row of white keys contain. ing the penny rack and which when pressed, cause the machine to give out from one cent to four. These are used when the “mount of the pur: chase is not a multiple of five. The installation of one of these ma- chines in the ticket office would be # great benefit to agent as well as patron as the time required for the purchase of ~ ticket would be great ly reduced, and at the same time the ability of making mistakes In change would be maintained.

COAL DEALER FILES FUNNY COMPLAINT S. R. Cohill, Hancock, Sends Letter to the Public Service Commission When S. R. Cohill, a coal dealer of Hancock, does something which he believes necessary for the protection of the public he believes that he should be given better treatment than he claims has been given him by the Northern Virginia Power Company. He pays 50 cents a month for light in his office from the company. In a complaint filed with the public service commission in Baltimore Mr. Cohill claims that on December 27 a wire belonging to the company fell on the pine near Hancock and endangered lives. "My family's lives were at stake," he wrote. He says he attempted to get into communication with officials of the company in order to have the wire fixed, but was unable to do so. He understood that 2,200 volts were passing through the wire, so he got an electrician to put the wire out of reach, he said, and paid him 40 cents for the work. When he paid the bill for the quarter, he states, he deducted this 40 cents, but the company refused to accept the check and now has turned the light off in his office. PNEUMONIA FATAL TO B. & O. VETERAN Daniel McGinnis, an Aged Citizen, Expires Yesterday Afternoon at His Home Here.

Mr. McGinnis was born 68 years ago at Orleans Cross Roads, but came to Martinsburg when in the eighteenth year of his age, and has since resided here. He was in the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad as a conductor for the lengthy period of 47 years, at the end of which he was retired. Surviving are his wife, who was Miss Virginia Dawson, of Clarksburg, and two sons, Clarence, of Washington, and D. A., of Martinsburg, Two sisters, Misses Annie and Ellen, of Cumberland, also survive. Monday morning the funeral will take place from St. Joseph's church of which he was a faithful member, the services being conducted by the pastor, the Rev. William A. McKeefry, following which interment will be made in Green Hill cemetery. PAY YOUR TAXES SOON DELINQUENT After June First All Unpaid Accounts Will Be Turned Over to the State. Sheriff E. H. Tabler has been busy for several days sending out statements to taxpayers, notifying them of the amounts they owe and informing them that on June 1 all property will be turned delinquent in case the warning is not heeded. After June 1 all persons who have failed to pay their taxes will have an added expense attached to their bills as the sheriff is required by law return all such delinquents and the state takes charge of the accounts. STATE BOARD TO BE POTENT FACTOR Organization Will Be the Hub of Things Industrial and Commercial. The West Virginia state board of trade is to inaugurate a statewide membership campaign. The preliminary plans for this are being worked out and soon the movement will be launched and pushed to a conclusion. As soon as the campaign for members is completed steps will be taken for a reorganization of the body. That is to say the scope of the board of trade will be broadened so that it may become a much more potent influence in shaping the commercial and industrial activities in West Virginia than it has ever been in the past. The plan is to make the West Virginia state board of trade the hub of all the industrial and commercial organizations in the state. All of the coal organizations, the gas associations, all of the city boards of trade, the chamber of commerce, the business men's associations, medical societies, dental societies, hardware associations, wholesale merchants associations, retail dealers associations according to the new scheme, are to work by and through the state board of trade for the accomplishment of the ends they seek in the way of legislation or in other matters that pertain to their welfare and the betterment of West Virginia along lines that tend to the development of the state. The scheme is to make the state board of trade an organization of weight so that when it gives an expression on any matter or when a demand is made or a protest offered that its influence will be felt and the weight behind the organization be realized as a power to be reckoned with wherever and whenever the organization takes the stand for or against any certain proposition. Secretary H. H. Archer, of Parkersburg, is now making a canvass of the state getting leaders interested in the membership campaign to be waged within a few weeks. Business men are taking to the proposition. Let us hope that the German pledge means also that no more ships will be fired or dynamited in American harbors.—New York World.

In London in 1849 a small body of artists and lovers of the fine art formed a little society, which they called Preraphaelite Brotherhood. It consisted of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais James Collinson, Frederick George Stephens and Thomas Woolner, some of whom acquired lasting fame as artists. They were all very young men, and the society was formed with the plan of never extending its membership. These young and enthusiastic artists saw in paiting of the fifteenth century a religious fervor and a simplicity of artistic aim which they longed to recall, and they thought that Raphael's early work in Rome marked the change from that prior art to later and less single-minded designing. The avowed purpose of the brotherhood was the encouragement of perfect sincerity and a lofty purpose in the practice of art. The fine art of the day in England seemed to them extremely meaningless and feeble and that of all Europe devoid of any true purpose. Consequently they presented certain dogmatic rules which occasioned considerable dispute and criticism. It was laid down as a principle, for example, that a picture should be painted from one and only one person serving as a model. Above all, the artist was to paint everything just as it seemed to him, even if to produce naturalness it was necessary to put on a canvas stiff and awkward postures and gestures. A very free use of suggestive and illustrative imagery and unusual effects of light and color also were recommended. Many celebrated artists and architects were identified with the enthusiastic movement, and John Ruskin was looked upon as the most ardent and influential advocate of preraphaelite doctrines. But the moving spirit of the enterprise was Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The Rossettis were a very remarkable family. The first to settle in England was Gabriel, a political refugee from Italy. He was a poet of much spirit and elegance, and in him the artistic sense was highly developed. His children, sons and daughters, all inherited his love and apprehension of art. Dante Gabriel was the elder son of the exile, and was born in London two years after Gabriel's arrival there. He entered the antique school of the royal academy at the age of 18, and a few years later was among the most conspicuous of the founders of the Preraphatelite Brotherhood. For more than 30 years he painted remarkable pictures and wrote remarkable poems, which by many critics were received with great admira- NA FLOR'S HAIR DRESSING THE KING OF ALL HAIR DRESSINGS GROWS HAIR-REMOVES DANDRUFF AND TETTER.
