tressing intelligence that his brother—
Arthur W., Traveling Passenger
Agent of'the B. & O. R. Co., and liv
ing in Pittsburg, Pa., had died sud
denly. Mr. Tiddy was reared in this
place, rose rapidly in the industrial

He was born in England 47
years ago, was brought to this

ruptedly to the the time of his

Not Intended.
Inadvertently, the Journal over
looked mention last week of “Joe
Stout—baritone, the Stalwart Mate of
the ‘Bounding Billow,’ ” personated by
Frank Spates in “The Nautical Knot.”
Of course, Frank was there all right,
especially in the baritone, but just
how the Journai, came to miss him in
the write-up is now a mystery.

tution, particularly the “manual
training” for boys and “domestic sci
ence” for girls. All should go.
Building Improvements.
As recently mentioned under this
heading, the H. B. Shaffer Company’s
department store is undergoing ma
terial improvements and re-arrange
ment. The grocery will be en
larged, taking in the room occupied
by the millinery. The saddlery and
harness shop will be removed from
the west to east side, and the millinery
workers and stock will occupy the
room now used as the company’s of
fice. A brick addition to the rear will
afford ample office space.
Gus. Wm. Zeller is making some im
provements of his property, West
Union street.
Thomas Humberston has built an
addition to his property, West Union
street.
The frame-workof the new structure
opposite Beall High School, owned by

ger than William said it was going
to be.
In all sections of town slate roofs
are replacing shingles.
A new and handsome front in Rich
ard Gunter’s store attracts attention
in Grahamton.
Good Time.
Members and friends of Frostburg
Court, No. 4291, Independent Order of
Foresters, enjoyed a gay time Wed
nesday evening at their “May Ball,”
in Stanton’s Opera House. Aside
from the lavish floral decorations mu
sic was furnished by both the Arion
Band and the Mountain City Orches
tra. Mrs. C. H. Hamill, caterer, fur
nished refreshments in a style hard to
excel.
How Some Others Do It.
The clean-up crusade in Cambridge,
this State, was due to come to an end
last evening in a huge bon-fire of all
the accumulated rubbish. Liverymen
had offered to do the hauling free,
and everybody else seemed pledged
to do all possible without pay. Not
only private grounds were cleaned,
but houses also underwent the scru
tiny of the clean-up authorities.
Here Next Time.
Frostburg was represented in the
Stewards Convention of Frederick
District, Baltimore Conference, M. E.
Church, Cumberland, last Tuesday,
by D. D. Price, of this place. Much
business was transacted, and the fra
ternal incidents made it a most enjoy
able occasion, especially the fine
lunch tendered by J. W. Young, Clerk
of the Circuit Court. Mr. Price in
vited the convention to hold next ses
sion in Frostburg, and the invitation
was accepted. Winchester, Martins
burg, Hagerstown—in fact, all the
towns between Frederick and Pied
mont were represented.
Improvements.
The Junior Order of U. A. M. is go
ing ahead in earnest in establishing
the Park beyond Broadway extended.
Wright Butler, the accomplished
architect of Cumberland, has been
employed to draft the plans, and
work will be pressed so far as to open
the grounds to the public July 4th.
The National Pike Proposition.
1 In addition to item under this head
:, ing on fourth page the Journai, is
glad to record the visit here on Thurs
day of Ovid F. Winslow, represent
ing the Hassam Paving Company,
- Worcester, Mass., who, with W. E. G.
, Hitchins, of this place, traversed the
s 4.18 miles of National Pike, referred
. to.
Mr. Winslow says the “pitch ma
cadam” is the proper treatment, and
he is going to bid on the work after it
is ascertained what the farmers along
the Pike will do in the way of provid
ing and hauling stone.
A canvass by Thomas J. Johnson is
f
now underway to this end, and, judg-
ing from the feeling manifested, it is
believed the stone will cost nothing
’ and the hauling will be done at the
t
lowest rate possible.
1 Mr. Winslow has seen several mem
bers of the State Commission, whom,
he reports, are earnestly anxious to
have the work done.
The outlook, therefore, is bright —
5 never brighter for nearly six miles of
first-class road west of Frostburg.
One on “Us.”
’ The Cumberland Times correspond
* ent got off this Wednesday:
A little German band, composed
of six pieces, enlivened the town
with strains of music on Tuesday.
Brother Oder, of the Mining
Journal, when asked what they
were playing, shook his head and
stated he could not tell, as the
band was playing in German.
Looking Into Things.
Messrs. L. C. Laughan, Luke Ellis
| and W. T. Russell, all of Baltimore,
were here this week investigating
public-service utilities—electric-light,
natural-gas and water supplies. They
will probably report to somebody in
Baltimore just how “the counties are
getting pearter and pearter every
year.”
Real Estate Movements.
Floyd Middleton now lives on Centre
street, having sold his Hill-street
property.
Town Council.
At the special meeting Monday
evening, 15th inst., Mayor and all
Councilmen present.
Bids for street-lighting from the
Frostburg Illuminating and Manufac
turing Company and the West Vir
ginia and Maryland Gas Company,
were read.
On motion by Mr. Morgan, seconded
by Mr. Dufty, the bid of the Frost
burg Illuminating and Manufacturing
Company was accepted, the terms of
which are practically same as those of
last year.
An Ordinance prohibiting gambling,
postponed over two meetings, was
read, and—
On motion by Mr. Emerick, seconded
by Mr. Dufty, Ordinance was laid on
the table.
An Ordinance providing for grad
ing, concrete curbing, paving with
vitrified brick, and otherwise improv
ing Grant street, was read and
adopted. The Electric Railway Com
pany will pay for work inside and two
feet outside tracks, the town one-third
and property-owners two-thirds of re
maining expense.
Bids for furnishing coal to pump
ing-station were read, considered, and
the contract awarded to William J.
Lewis at $3 per ton of 2,240 pounds.
Mr. Dufty called attention to the
projection of the new Citizens Nation
al Bank building two feet over street
line on Broadway. A movement had
been noted to have the town condemn
the projecting portion, but when it
was ascertained that the cost and pro
ceedings would aggregate $2,000, more
or less, a preamble and resolution re
ferring the matter to the good taste
and public spirit of the bank au
thorities, was unanimously adopted.
William R. Gunter’s bond as Town
Treasurer, with Dr. Griffith and R.
Annan, sureties, was accepted.
The paper in full concerning the
Citizens National Bank matter, as sub
mitted by Mr. Dufty, is as follows:
WheraS, It appears that the
Citizens National Bank is about to
erect a new building on Broadway,
two feet out of line with the bal
ance of the buildings on the same
side of the street; —
Whereas, We are further ad
vised by Attorney that this right
fully belongs to the said Bank,
and the only way the town can
make the said Bank back two
feet, is to get out an injunction
and condemn this land and buy
it from said Bank; and—
Whereas, The said Bank paid
for these two feet aboutone thous
and dollars, and the cost of in
junction and other legal proceed
ceedings would run the expense
to the town to about fifteen hun
dred dollars, and said two feet
would not be worth such a sum to
town; and—
Whereas, The Directors and
Officers and Stockholders of the
Citizens National Bank are all
residents of the town, and have
local pride as to the looks of the
town, and moving this building
back two feet would not seriously
hurt them, but be a benefit to the
street, and benefit to the balance
of the property on this street,
which is owned by some of the
said Citizens Bank people, and
more so to a large benfit to this
Bank; therefore, be it—
Resolved, That the matter be
dropped by the Mayor and Coun
cilmen of Frostburg, and the pro
ject of moving this building back
two feet be left to the public spirit
of the Citizens National Bank Of
ficers and Directors, all of whom
i are interested in the looks and
i welfare of our town, and who all
l have business interests which are
i helped by the genrral appearance
and progressiveness of the town.
Business Locals.
. Saved Child from Death.
“After our child had suffered from severe
bronchial trouble for a year,” wrote G. T.
■ Richardson, of Richardson’s Mills, Ala.,
“we feared it had consumption. It had a
bad cough all the time. We tried many
remedies without avail, and doctor’s medi
. cine seemed as useless. Finally we tried Dr.
King’s New Discovery, and are pleased to
say that one bottle effected a complete cure,
and our child is again strong and healthy.”
• For coughs, colds, hoarseness, lagrippe,
asthma, croup and sore lungs, its the most
infallible remedy that’s made. Price 50c.
: and SI.OO. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed
by all druggists.
Do Ghosts Haunt Swainps?
No, never. Its foolish to fear a fancied
evil, when there are real and deadly perils
to guard against in swamps and marshes,
bayous and lowlands. These are the ma
laria germs that cause ague, chills, and
fever, weakness, aches in" the bones and
muscles and many induce deadly typhoid.
But Electric Bitters destroys and casts out
these vicious germs from the blood. “Three
bottles drove all the malaria from my sys
tem,” wrote William Fretwell, of Lucama.
N. C.. "and I’ve had fine health ever since.”
Use this safe, sure remedy. Only 50c. at all
druggists.
Scholastic.
The last meeting for the current
year of the Frostburg Normal School
Graduate Study Club will be held at
3 o’clock Saturday afternoon, June 10,
in the Normal School Building. The
officers of the Club are Miss Mary
Faucett Carskadon, president, and
Miss Ethel Taylor, secretary, both of
Cumberland. Miss Isabel Screen will
speculate upon “How We Think,”
and Mrs. Clara Pyle Ewing, of the
Normal School faculty, will entertain
with a select reading. Last, not least,
Prof. R. H. Ridgeley, president of the
faculty, will tender an informal re
ception in the grove outside and illus
trate dainty hospitality by service of
tea-time delicatessen.
Frostburg Civic Club.
The second meeting of the Frost
burg Civic Club was held Tuesday
evening, 16th inst., in Assembly Hall,
Beall High School.
The attendance was not large as
anticipated, owing to the fact that
several social affairs were in progress.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. A. R. Walker, president, and
minutes of preceding meeting read
by Miss Edith Watson, secretary.
The Constitution and By-laws, pro
vided for at preceding meeting, were
read, and—
On motion, adopted.
A motion to have present official
board serve for one year was adopted.
Age limit for membership was fixed
at 16 years.
The president introduced Miss Anne
Sloan, secretary of the Lonaconing
Civic Club. Miss Sloan was a dele
gate to convention of the Women’s
Federation of Clubs, in Baltimore, in
March, and she opened her address by
reading extracts from report made to
her Club. Her earnest enthusiasm
was shared by all present as she told
of what women are doing all over the
country in reforms in sanitation and
ventilation of schools, factories and
public buildings; of cities beautiful,
and of waste places and dumping
grounds turned into garden-spots and
flowering plots, and, best of all —the
bettering of poor little children’s lives
by the establishment of play-grounds
and juvenile courts.
Then she turned to the work her
own Club is doing —a young Club,
with less than 40 members —
And not much aid
From Board of Trade.
Clean-up week, however, was a big
success, and at the. finale, Thursday
evening, it was proposed to hold and
enjoy a grand carnival and merry
making. Streets have not only been
cleaned and garbage removed, but
cemeteries, sewerage and even the
town-lighting system were looked into.
A movement to provide a play
ground, equipped with swings, go
devils and games for children, is pro
jected.
In conclusion Miss Sloan advocated
a County Federation in order to pro
mote Civic work in adjacent towns.
A vote of thanks to Miss Sloan for
her interesting and instructive ad
dress was unanimously adopted.
Prof. Olin R. Rice proffered a few
suggestions relative to committee
work.
A call for new members was issued,
and Thursday, 25th inst., chosen for
next meeting—in Assembly Hall, Beall
High School.

Scoop.
1 Rudolph Nickel, of this place, fig
. ured in an automobile eccentricity
Friday of last week which might have
terminated seriously. He indulged a
- solo tour to a point on Great Savage,
some distance beyond Sand Spring.
Returning, the machine seemed wound
up so tight the brakes wouldn’t clinch
any clincher, and, running with all
the lino-power of the gaso-ferment,
accentuated by the statute of gravita
tion, everything to Rudolph seemed
soft, loose and unsteady except the
mountain. Happily, he was able. to
side-step all eligible mix-ups until,
reaching a sharp turn at the sand, sir
named spring, a fence that never
before had been in anybody’s way,
succumbed to a plunge which carried
away 1, lyi, or 2-panelsv The coun
tenance of the automobile and the
dingus which operates the mechanism
that regulates the swing of the dew-lap
were considerably disfigured. More
than happily, Rudolph, who is a roy
ally good fellow, emerged without
hurt beyond a shake-up, which, like
ice-cream in a soda, is sometimes bet
ter with than without. It was the joy
rider’s sensation intensified by want
of intention, and the joy made joyless
by the total elimination of the essen
tial element of gusto.
