POINTS FOR THE PASTOR.
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.

[p BASE-BALL,
1 ** E
The National Game as Seen
> j From This Metropolis.
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. Score:
1112131415 I 6 | 7 i 8 I 9 ,
Cumberland I o I o I 3 I o l o I o I o I 2 I I—61 —6
l 7 ro:Uburg | o I o I 1 I o I o I o 1 o | 2 1 o —3
Frank Spates pitched the two last j -
innings of the first, and all of the
second 5-inning game.
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.

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.
The upper half of the Betz build
ing front, East Union street, occupied
by John R. Keller, plumber, has been
renewed and improved by plate glass,
making a fine display space.

Later.
On the 4th page will be found an
item under heading of “In the In
sect World.”
Reliable report has since reached the
1 Journal Thursday that the moth-mil
lers came up from Cumberland Mon
day night on the last car.
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.

Very Truly. |
“Hank,” of the Cumberland News,
wants to know—“what a centennial is I
not?”
Or he submits an inquiry in terms
to that effect.
The Journai., addressed, gladly
responds :
A centennial is not the io6th anni
versary of an event.
Inshallah !
N. 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.
