Sister 6harpe Shows New Dominie Where His Predecessors Failed. jfjj we can know where we are ’ at,” said Sister Sharpe as she ] handed the new minister liis second cup of tea. “It seems good to have a ■ reg’lar settled pastor once more, even if the vote to call you wa’n’t altogether unanimous. Some held out for Brother Jaster that we had preach for us a | few times, but I guess they won’t . make no trouble because we called you. Now that you are to come and < you are to stay with me until your < folks come I been thinkin’ that it ; wouldn’t be no more than a kindness • for me to tell you the reasons why some of your predecessors was asked to resign. I been thinkin’ that if I told you the plain truth about it meb be it would help you not to make the ; mistakes that they made. I ain’t a ] word to say agin any of ’em. All of : ’em meant well, and I reckon they done the best they could accordin’ to ’ their lights, but yet they didn’t just suit our people. There was Brother . Baggster. The trouble was he preached - too long. I’ve kept my eye on the 1 clock many and many a time when he was preachln’, and the shortest sermon I ever knowed him to give us was l fifty-nine minutes long, and it run all the way from that up to an hour and j twenty minutes and some of us on ten- j terhooks knowin’ how our dinners was I spoilin’ at home. Then there was Brother Sapp, who cut his sermons so short you hardly got settled comfort able in your pew and come to git some edified before he had you up for bene- j diction. Seemed like it wa’n’t hardly worth while to dress up and come to church for such a stingy little excuse of a sermon. Brother Broad’s sermons was sort o’ betwixt and between Brother Sapp’s and Brother Baggster’s when it come to len’th, but he was too lib’ral to suit most of our people. , Said right in the pulpit that he didn’t see no harm in folks goin’ out walk- ! ing on Sundays when he knowed very well that all of our deacons thought it a dessercation o’ the Sabbath to go : out walkin’ on Sundays unless you walked in the graveyard. That ser- ; mon finished Brother Broad ’s far as his usefulness with us was concerned. - “Then we had Brother Bright for a , year, and he was a pretty good preacher, but no kind of a pastor—that is, he wa’n’t no good at calling and 1 being sociable. Never seemed to know what to do or say in the sickroom ! and was a poor hand at a fun’ral. Didn’t seem to enjoy church sociables ; nor fun’rals. Come right out flat once and said he thought a pastor ought to , give his flock more of his brains than , of the calves of his legs, meanin’ by that he’d better stay in his study in- ( stid o’ runnin’ around ringing door bells. That offended Miss Nancy Prude, our wealthiest female member, for she didn’t think it nice for a man to say ‘legs’ in the pulpit, so she shut off her contribution o’ 50 cents a week j until Brother Bright left. Then we had Brother Gushley, who was too , poeticky to suit them that wanted the , real meat o’ th’ gospel in their ser- j mons. They said it was bad enough for Brother Gushley to work poems of 1 Longfeller and Tennerson and Whit- 1 taker twenty verses long into his ser? < mons, but when he got to working ; poems of his own of that len’th into them they wouldn’t stand for it. He , even talked in poetry. Come here once, and when I went to the door he says 1 first thing: It’s a very good day To make calls and pray. “Some of our deacons said that was ; sackerlidge, and they had him up be- g fore ’em for it, and he got sassy and , offered his resignation in a poem that ; the deacons said was an insult to the ( whole church. So you better steer clear o’ poetry in your sermons. “Just thought I’d tell you how and 1 why some o’ your predecessors fell 1 down, as the sayin’ is, so that you could sort o’ be on your guard and not i offend in the same way. I think you’ll \ find our people fair minded and easy to git along with if you do what’s j right. If not, help yourself to some 1 of that piccalilly. I made It out o’ some tomaters and cabbage and pep- ; pers that was some spoiled, but I s hated to throw away, so it ain’t as good as it might be.” —Puck. .J, .-. .J. .** •}. 1, >*, -J, -J, .-* .J. •*. *!*!* *l—l* "1* *l* 4 *l* -1' ‘ {Wanted to Know. 4* 4* - “Do you drink?” J* , X “Is that a query or an invita- % t ¥ tion.”—Detroit Free Press. -j- _ *l**v<*!*i*-i.

Cumberland vs. Frostburg Last Saturday was a great day in , the great old town! Flags flew, bands played, crowds - thronged the streets, and everything i went all right except the base-ball games! They went all wrong! i Cumberland came up strong, every , man fitting his place. It seemed as if the Frostburg man- ; agement felt that if Cumberland had to pay Piedmont that SIOO, net, that it would be generous to let the city win that much here and get off easy. Anyway, Cumberland got it all right, for they won the first and tied the second game before one of the big gest crowds ever assembled in the Park and took away the bigger end of a big income. On a first look at the Frostburg gladiators they shone like certain winners. Allen and Spates tw-irlers; Davis at first and Capt. “Mooney” Gunnett at second; Price at short and Hunter at third comprised an array of j ’ talent that looked hard to overlap. Then the classy out-field—Brophy, Finn and Jackson—why, it appeared invincible! But there was a vulnerable place in the alignment—the important rampart behind the field-piece, occupied by “Skeets” McKenzie. Somebody said . he injured his throwing hand in the preliminary practice. Anyway, good j as he usually is, he couldn’t handle ( and deliver last Saturday. Deihl threw for the visitors in both , games and was hit hard and numer- , ously. His mates saved him many . times by opportune stunts. They . played an excellent game—too good to . fear another bout with Piedmont on any ground! Lippold, catcher, was gilt-edged, and his pegging- to bases was fine. The out-field, too, figured in the winning, Marean’s running catch wi.th one hand being phenomenal. It was a great game —a good game, j marred by but one sadness—Frostburg lost! James Pierce, of this place, was umpire, fair and square as any man ( who cannot please everybody.

In the latter, game was called at 6 o’clock by previous agreement. Half < of the 6th was played; score 4 to 3 : favoring Cumberland, but the hour for adjournment having arrived, the score j - was called back to a tie and the latter : half not played Score: lIIzI3 I 4 I 5 1 Frostbnrr lo|ol o 1 3 I o —3 ( Notes Allen pitched a good game and should haye won. Just think! Cum berland got 6 runs out of 3 hits; Frost burg 3 runs out of 13 hits—enough hits to win any game! The crowd was the largest seen on the ground this season, but the at tendance from Cumberland was slim. The grand stand was jammed with pretty girls, many of whom cheered with a vim every good Frostburg play. Piedmont vs. Midland Next day one of Georges Creek’s greatest games was played at Mid land, when Piedmont and Midland clashed. Piedmont was strengthened by the accession of George Dailey, late of Charlotte, N. C., and John Raley, late of East Liverpool, Ohio. Wilson and Dailey were the Pied mont battery; Grindle and Wood Mid land’s. Both teams put up a great exhibi tion. Midland’s fielding was abso lutely faultless. Three great double plays electrified the big crowd and kept men, women and even the chil dren “on edge” to the last inning. James Morgan umpired in a very satisfactory manner. Score: 1 i 1213U1516171M19 Midland |o|ojo|o|o|o|i|o| o—i Piedmont |o|o|o|o|o|o|o|o| o —o Coming Events These teams will play again in Potomac Park, Piedmont, this (Satur day) afternoon at 3 o’clock. Speculation “Rumor has it,” writes a corres pondent, “that Cumberland is going to tie up Frostburg in a series of five games for SIOO. “If true, it is to catch the money of the unwary. “Neither management would go iijto a fair, honest league at the beginning of the season, and now after Cumber land has ‘fluked’ with Piedmont and ‘thrown down’ all the patrons whose money has kept them going all sum mer, giving them a nice dividend, they surely have gall when they ask Frostburg to ‘fluke.’ * * * * * “Last year a Cumberland merchant put up a silver cup, with a string tied to it—so tight that none but the Cum berland team could win. “At least, no team, except Frost burg, on Georges Creek got a chance at it, and Frostburg, at that time, never was weaker. “Mr. Journal, please do your level best to persuade the Frostburg man agement and team to protect their in terests in every detail —if not too late.” The Issue Joined The two managements met in Cum berland Monday evening, and it was agreed to play five games—three in Cumberland, two in Frostburg, as follows: Cumberland, Saturday, September 23 Frostburg, Wednesday, “ 27 Cumberland, Saturday, “ 30 Frostburg, Wednesday, October 4 Cumberland, Saturday, “ 7 Each team is restricted to its list of players, as follows. Cumberland Frostburg F. Lippold Frank Spates Drumm Lewis Davis Diehl Olin Gunnett J. Marean T. S. Cooper W. Marean Patrick J. Brophy C. Lippold John McKenzie Geatz George Hunter Fuller Charles Price W. Rank George Allen G. Rank Huck Finn Johnson Charles McDade Schafer James Jackson Ridgeley Alexander Wood Rice Michael Hoban Martin Hines The prize will be a purse of S2OO, each team putting up SIOO. Stakeholder a Cumberland man; if a tie at the end of the 4th, the crucial game will be played in Cumberland. The Journal is in a great mind to offer a bet on Cumberland success! Personal James Pierce, of the Consolidation Coal Company’s engineering corps, has resigned and gone to Brooklyn, N. Y. He is a base-ball adept and en joyed the esteem of all the players hereabout. William Evans told the Journal Wednesday that his elder brother— Horace, had gone to Pittsburg, Pa., to see a game. A Timely Article. The September number of the Edi torial Review contains a thoughtful, statesmanlike article by Hon. David j J. Lewis, representing this District in Congress. It is entitled “A Repre sentative and Deliberative House,” and throughout its propositions are— real representation of the people and real legislation in their behalf. A fine picture of Mr. Lewis accompanies the article. Nuisances. Some gypseysin town this week and some citizens think the authorities should limit their operations so con siderably that they would not stay long when they come. Scholastic. Miss Edith Watson, daughter of Charles G. Watson, attorney, lhas passed examinations which make her eligible to admission in Freshman Class of Goucher Female College, Baltimore. “Belshazzar.” The long series of rehearsals will close next Monday 7 , and Tuesday even ing, 26th inst., in Frostburg Opera House, a big audience will witness the climax in a splendid presentation of the dramatic cantata —“ Belshazzar.” The net proceeds will be a generous contribution by the dramatists to the treasury of the First Congregational Church. Stability. Teacher—Define “stab!..ty." Tommy.’' JTommy—“Stability” is what a man hag who takes care of a stable. —Exchange State Normal School. The State Normal School opened this year with an unprecedentedly large enrollment—at least 30 per cent. larger than last year, and the largest in the history 7 of the School. In the advanced grade of the Normal department at the beginning of the current week there were 135, and in the Model department 150, making a total of 285 in the building. There are 14 Seniors and 22 Juniors. All the Seniors, excepting one, passed all back conditions, and thus began their Senior work unhampered, and with the fairest opportunity to do well. They have already begun practice work, and there is a bright prospect of a good year in every respect. Wednesday, 25th inst., the Seniors took possession of the Gymnasium and effected an organization for the year, electing the following officers : President —Olive E. Cathcart. Vice-President —Jane Morton. Secretary —Anna Barncord. Treasurer —Ethel Hyde. Class colors selected are Pale-Blue and White, and the class-flower White Carnation. Improvements.

Presumably they got on intending to go into winter quarters at Lona coning, and there being no Belt Line here, they got off, thinking they had 1 [ reached their destination. The mistake was discovered when too late. Still Later —The “moth-millers” • moved from up-town Tuesday night to the railroad bridge on Bowery, where they swarmed Wednesday morning. The front of Benjamin Jenkins’ store was veneered with them about 3-deep. , n! l ij< >l> >l' '!• •!< 'J< <K >t< < , WHAT MAKES A TOWN? ” I i* , > What makes a town, anyway? , i Is It the wealth evidenced by ’ J • fine homes and splendid store < • JI buildings ?

B “Inshallah” is a parliament ary cuss-word temporarily abstracted from the last edition of the Koran, and, therefore, also unpeculiar to the national language of Cumberland. A Significant Fact. The nomination of W. E. G. Hitch- ■ ins for Road Director cost him $194.95. The Journai, saw his list of ex penses and noted the fact that a large percentage comprised amounts paid to newspapers for advertising—a fact made more notable by the result nearly 200 votes more than his next 1 succeeding competitor.
