FROSTBURG, MD. - JUNE 10, 1911.
“COME TO THE SCRATCH.”
“Why make a fuss about the county
paying Cumberland city election ex
penses?” asks a Cumberland sub
scriber.
The Journal’s answer may may be
gleaned from a paragraph clipped
from a recent issue of the Nation-.
The saving of $200,000 in the an
nual pay-roll of the House may not
be in itself a matter of tremend
ous importance to the Treasury of
the United States, but the princi
ple and spirit indicated in it are of
the most vital importance.
And that is not all.
How much less objectionable are
“the principle and spirit” of a county
election law which was amended sev
eral years ago to prohibit election ad
vertising in newspapers outside of
Cumberland?
The Journal would like all candi
dates for County Commissioner and
House of Delngates to state their atti
tude toward propositions —
1, To repeal'of the law in the first
instance, and —-
2, To re-amendment of the second
back to common sense and justice.
Both “the principle and spirit” of
these requests are of “vital import
ance to the survival of the right.
Business Movements.
The new restaurant, opposite the
First National Bank —Mrs. Ida V. Mc-
Fuckie, will be opened today (Satur
day.) Mrs. McFuckie is equipped for
first-class trade.
A Compressed-Air Fatality.
William Budnoy, of Poland, aged 21
years, died Wednesday near Salis
bury, Pa., from compressed air, under
which, it is said, diggers in the Big
Savage tunnel of the new railroad
have to work. The remains were
brought here and placed in charge of
Jacob Hafer. A sister and brother, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., reached here Wed
nesday evening, viewed and recog
nized the body, but declined to incur
expense of burial, claiming that the
contracting company should be re
sponsible. The matter was referred
to the company, who finally conceded
the claim, and the remains were ac
cordingly interred in-the Percy ceme
tery yesterday (Friday) afternoon.
Just iu Time.
A Frostburg gentleman, driving
down West Union street Thursday
evening, stopped without hitching in
the crowd waiting for the Fonaconing
cars. While he was inside one of the
doors attending to business the horse,
becoming alarmed, started to run.
Had he succeeded in getting away,
somebody would have been hurt, him
self crippled, or a buggy wrecked, or
all three. But there was a handsome
young man in the throng, who, in
stantly comprehending the situation,
rushed out, grasped the line, stopped
the animal at the climacteric moment.
One second later and he would have
been too late. His name is Benjamin
Thomas, residing on Wood street, and
to him somebody owes gratitude for
escape from loss, or hurt, perhaps of
death. She, him, or them being un
known, the Journal saddles the debt
upon the community.
The Christian Sabbath.
The following paper, unanimously
adopted and self-explanatory, indi
cates the position of one great relig
ious organization on a much-mooted
question:
WHEREAS, The Bible teaches the
proper observance of the Sabbath,
and—•
Whereas, The Ford’s Daj' has been
kept sacred by all true Christians
from the time of the establishment of
the Christian Church, and—
Whereas, Christian sentiment has
produced the enactment of laws by
our Government for the proper ob
servance of the Ford’s day, and—■
Whereas, We view with sorrow the
tendency of our time to disregard the
teaching of the Holy Scripture con
cerning the Sabbath, and to permit,
especially in' some localities, trade
and labor, base-ball, excursions and
various other amusements as being
detrimental to the best interests of
the people morally and physically,
and contrary to the teaching of God’s
Hol3’ Word, therefore—
Be it Resolved, That we, the Fred
erick District Preachers’ Meeting of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, de
plore the wide-spread desecration of
the Ford’s Day; that we deeply regret
the recent decision of fudge Henderson,
permitting the continuance of labor
by the Carter Construction Company
on Sunday as being unjust to the
laborers involved, and hurtful to the
teaching of our churches; that we
look upon all kinds of unnecessary
labor, base-ball and other amusements
on the Sabbath, as a menace to the
welfare of our Nation; that we call
upon our County Authorities to en
force the Sabbath laws and pledge
them our influence to that end; that
we advise our preachers to preach
sermons against Sabbath desecration,
and urge the members of our church
es to use their entire influence to pre
serve the Christian Sabbath, and, fur
ther—
Be it Resolved, That these resolu
tions be g'iven the greatest publicity
by being read in the churches and
published in the newspapers of the
District.

Games
Frostburg went to Cumberland last
Saturday and, as usual, lost 3 to 1.
Salb saved the team from a shut-out
by a knock over left-field fence in the
9th inning, with two out.
The Cumberland M. A. C’s played
here same afternoon with the White
Sox and lost to latter by same score—
-3 to 1.
Fonaconing went to Piedmont same
afternoon and the latter won —9 to 1.
Next day Piedmont came up here
and defeated the home team —5 to 4.
The Allegany High School team, of
Cumberland, played Beall High
School a close game in the Park
Thursday afternoon. The latter won
—5 to 4.
Hike Amateurs
Some of the teams must have
misunderstood the umpire when
he said “Play Ball !”—Morgan
town (W. Va.) New Dominion-
News.
Yes; two non-leaguers—
1, Cumberland—“Me,” and—
2, Fonaconing—“Too.”
Questions
Fooks like we have some base
ball team in the Cumberland
Athletic Club. Eh, Frostburg and
Midland? —Cumberland News.
Sure. But why were you afraid of
the league ? Huh—Cumberland and
Fonaconing ?
Baseball certainly has the call
around this neck of the woods Ibid.
Yes, but it’s a low call. Only one
for each game—none for a league
score.
Barton has two teams —“First” and
“Metz.” They came together in a
friendly clash Monday afternon and
the “First” won by 7 to 4. The
“Metz” team comprises nine brothers,
whom it seems like “race suicide” to
beat.
Fightning Strokes
The thunderbolt that struck a Fort
Wayne (Ind.) church during service
last Sunday, silenced the organ, put
out the electric lights and stunned
many of the congregation, performed
an uncanny prank. But not more so
than the bolt that in the afternoon of
the same day killed a base-ball player
on the ball-grounds at Norwalk, O.
The lightning, like the dew from
heaven, falls alike on the just and
unjust.—New. York World.
Coming Events
A traveling aggregation styled “The
Star Bloomer Girls,” will play the
Frostburg team in the Park next Mon
day afternoon, 12th inst. This nine is
under management of Robert Halcott,
and carries a band to whoop up busi
ness. According to their manager,
the girls are the “champs” of any fe
male team in the country, young and
good-looking, and the pitcher is en
dowed with curving talent of high
order. The only outlook for trouble
is the difficulty of securing in Frost
burg an umpire who would in the
presence of other Frostburg chivalry,
decide that a pretty woman is “out
at first.” Two steps further—who is
the pitcher that will throw to a pretty
batter a difficult ball, or the catcher
that will grab an easy foul?
Brevities
In the grand stand last Saturday
Squire Jeffries, of Federal Hill,
claimed to be the only guest of the
day to whom the Park authorities had
issued a rain-check. Fortunately, it
didn’t rain—a circumstance which,
according to the banking laws, inval
idated the check.
Bj r the way, just so that Ordinance
can’t be twisted to apply to Olin Gun
nett’s quid, all will be well.
Brevities.
A large number of Frostburg people
were in Grantsville last Saturday at
tending the funeral of Franklin B.
Durst, the young man who died near
that place of tuberculosis last week.
Fact.
Merchants and other business men
of Scottdale, Pa., have announced
their conclusion that “01113 7 newspa
per advertising brings results,” and
have signed an agreement to employ
no other method.
Whether it appears to pay directly
or not, newspaper advertising is the
only publicity that keeps the name of
your town on the map !
The Sick.
Mrs. Anton Weisenborn, of Beall
street, an aged widow lady, is criti
cally ill.
Charles Edwards, of Fairmont, W.
Va., latety in the Western Maryland
Hospital, Cumberland, reached the
home of his mother —Mrs. Walter Ed
wards, Mechanic street, a few days
ago and believes he is on the road to
his accustomed good health.
Coming Events.
A “Flag Day” cantata will be pre
sented by 75 young people and chil
dren at the Congregational Church
Wednesday evening, 14th inst. —a pa
triotic exercise under direction of
Mrs. J. B. Richards. The characters
will appear fully costumed and the
church appropriately decorated. A
small admission fee will be charged,
and the projectors believe every pa
triotic citizen who attends will enjoy
the evening.
The Fadies of the First English
Baptist Church will hold a Fawn Social
on the parsonag-e lawn, rear of Church,

A Dreadful Wound

nail, fireworks, or of any other nature,
demands prompt treatment with Buck

poison or gangrene. It’s the quickest,
surest healer for all such wounds as
also for Burns, Boils, Sores, Skin
Eruptions, Eczema, Chapped Hands,
Corns or Piles. 25c at all druggists.
Work Will Soon Start
After you take Dr. King’s New Fife

fine results. Constipation and indi
gestion vanish and fine appetite re
turns. They regulate stomach, liver
and bowels and impart new strength
and energy to the whole system. Try

All the Good Qualities
Of Ely’s Cream Balm, solid, are found
in Fiquid Cream Balm, which is in
tended for use in atomizers. That it
is wonderful remedy for Nasal Catarrh
is proved by an ever-increasing mass
of testimony. It does not dry out nor
rasp the tender air-passages. It allays
the inflammation and goes straight to
the root of the disease. Obstinate old
cases have yielded in a few weeks.

A Creditable Display.
The G. E. Pearce Drug Company
makes a praiseworthy concession to the
teachers and pupils of Beall High
School of one of its spacious front
windows for the display of manual
training accomplishments during the
scholastic year just closing. Towel
racks, book-racks, dictionary-stands
and telegraphic equipment, substan
tially built and neatly completed, con
stitute the leading items, although
many other articles of neat workman
ship are shown. Prof. Gustav Fied
holm is the tutor in this department
and he is certainly a master in that
line of tuition.
In sewing, crochet and embroidery,
the girls are but little in the rear of
the boys iu the excellence and beauty
of their accomplishments. Aprons,
cushions and other articles of needle
work are pretty testimonials to the en
terprise of the teachers and the skill
of the pupils. ■
“Cleati-Up” Still “In Order.”
A correspondent, writing under aus
pices of The Civic Club, addresses the
people through the Journal concern
ing a matter of general interest and
importance :
“Erostburg’s ‘Clean Up’ day had to
be postponed on account of unfavor
able weather, which, in all probability,
is a good thing, for since the distri
bution of posters asking all residents
of town to remove all ash-piles, tin
cans and rubbish, a great many peo
ple have complied with the request.
“But there is still room for improve
ment in many yards, gardens and al
leys, and in many instances one would
think residents would have too much
pride to have other people come to
clean their rubbish away.
“Instead of that, however, when
asked—‘have you cleaned your 3 7 ard,
etc. ? it is not a little surprising to
have one reply—‘l have attended to
that long ago. The Mayor and Coun
cilmen and Civic Club need not come
to my house.’
“The Health Board is very muoh
gratified to see that nearly all the
people are taking so much interest in
this general clean-up, and when the
Board makes its tour of inspection
soon, it is hoped it will hav-e no com
plaints to make.
“There is no reason why the people
of this town should not make Frost l
burg one of the most healthful and
beautiful in the State, and, by so do
ing, attract home-seekers and eventu
ally make it an ideal summer resort.
“One more week will be given all
residents to clean up, and if by that
time the Health Board is notified of
places that have not been cleaned,
proper action will have to be taken
compelling property-owners to do so.
“We hope in the near future to have
a free garbage s3 7 stem, which will
eliminate the disease-carrying fly and
all other harbingers and purveyors of
ill health.
“Instead of heaping up ash-piles,
tin cans, etc., plant flowers and po
tatoes, cultivate vegetables, and make
3’our grounds profitable and 3 7 our town
beautiful.”
