if Personal. $
Messrs. James Gunnett and Thomas
W. Neff, both of Washington, D. C.,
spent the week at their old homes
here.
Mrs. M. J. Brown, of Huntingdon,
Pa., is a guest of her parents—Mr.
and Mrs. Greenbury Humberston,
Broadway.
Mrs. Louis C. Colborn and daughter
—Miss Eleanor, of Somerset, Pa.,
were guests several days last week of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Beall.
Dr. William A. Gracie, of the Mary
land University Hospital service, Bal
timore, visited his mother—Mrs. John
Connor, of Eckhart, this week.
Jonathan Jenkins, of Jenkins, K3 7 .,
is here to see his family, relatives and
friends. He is a valued representa
tive of the Consolidation Coal Com
pany.
Dr. T. F. DeNaouley has retmrned
from a short stay in New York City,
his former home. Says his batting
average, when talking with the great
leaguers, was 1,000, and that invaria
bly they then declined to be further
entertained.
John Engleby, of .Roanoke, Va., 34
years ago a valued resident of Frost
burg, was here yesterday. He is the
same good, genial “John,” and is not
slow in expressing his gratification in
seeing so mail} 7 improvements in the
good old town.
Hal Sprigg, in the metropolis the
other day, the Journal asked him—
“how are you getting along under the
commission form of government?”
“O,” he exclaimed, “worse than ever
—worse, even, than when the republi
cans carried it on under their form !”
Mrs. Ida Starr, Mrs. Frederick
Groom and Miss Mary Miller, of Bal
timore, were the grand-assembly visi
tors to Ridgeley Chapter, No. 3, Daugh
ters of Rebecca, Monday evening.
The first two were entertained by
Mrs. Robert Biddington, Wood street;
Miss Miller by Mrs. J. M. Zimmerly,
Broadway.
Charles R. Page, of Wildwood, N. J.,
was here several days this week sizing
up Frostburg as a place of prospective
abode. Mr. Page is a printer of ex
ceptional ability and, in the probable
event of locating here, will be en
gaged by the Mining Journal Pub
lishing Company. Besides being prac
tically a good printer, Mr. Page is
socially a good fellow.
John M. Streett, of Cumberland,
here Wednesday, reported that if the
Commissioners would work together
more harmoniously “the commission
form of self-government” down there
would be a great success. But each
Commissioner seems too much con
cerned about the proper performance
of the other Commissioners’ duties.
Hence, all seem to groan with out
ward pain, and both the system and
the public welfare are sufferers.
George Stern, Prof. Eouis A. Tuvin,
Fred. B. McCulloh and William Jef
fries went on foot last Sunday and
held services at St. John’s Rock.
After a select reading by Mr. Jeffries
on “Art As the Sine Qua Non of Na
ture,” by “Hank’s” friend, “Eank,”
Mr. McCulloh discussed “Dan’s Rock
as She Is and Never Was.” In sever
al particulars, however, Prof. Tuvin
dissented from Mr. McCulloh’s stric
tures, taking the position that Dan’s
Rock had not been set up as a compet
itor with St. John’s. In the general
debate which followed George Stern
held that inasmuch as the Potomac
river had been scheduled' to flow b} 7
Cumberland it was indispensably nec
essary that Dan’s Rock, though on a
rib, should appear higher than St.
John’s, on the backbone. Several
verbal levels were taken, all unani
mously showing that if St. John’s is
not higher than Dan’s there is great
deceptivity in the buena vista of alti
tudinous phantasmagoria. The party
went up-hill the long-way round, but
returned the short way down.
Street Paving.
First time Journal ever saw brick
laid in “snow on the ground” was
Tuesday morning—on the Mechanic
street link between Broadway and
Water streets. Snow was very light,
however. The link is completed.
Slight Fire.
An alarm from the home of David
H. Eewis, Hill street, raised some ex
citement Wednesday evening, but the
danger was arrested before the Fire
Department could reach the neighbor
hood. A little damage to the kitchen
interior was the result.
Death from Mon-Oxide.
The town of Mt. Savage was startled
Thursday evening by the tragic death
of James Birmingham, constable, in
the new lock-up from mon-oxide, the
product of imperfectly consumed
natural gas. The effect was sudden
and quickly fatal. He was a popular
citizen, 62 years old.
The Sick.
Arthur Thomas, of Piedmont, West
Va., is at his mother’s home here suf
fering a slight touch of blood poison
contracted in jewelry work.
George Entler, of Wright’s Cross
ing, was removed Monday afternoon
to a Cumberland hospital, where he at
once underwent an operation for ap
pendicitis. He is doing well.
Mrs. John Dudley, of Eckhart, is re
ported critically ill.
A Thanksgiving Prayer.
God of the harvest, see us humbly
kneeling;
Eow at Thy feet in gratitude we
bow ;
Here to our eyes Thou art in love
revealing
The many blessings that attend us
now.
Daily Thou watch’d our coming and
our going ;
Tenderly Thou a guard o’er us hast
kept,
And Thou, in love, hast filled to
overflowing
The Horn of Plenty for us while we
slept.
God of the sad, the care-worn and the
weeping,
Heal Thou their hearts and drive
■their cares away ;
Hold Them safely, Eord, within Thy
keeping—
Send to them Peace and Solace on
this day.

Died,
At his home, on Welsh Hill, Mon
day evening, November 20, 1911, Mr.
Evan Evans, of paralysis, aged 69
years. Wife and three sons —Messrs.
Evan, Daniel and James Evans, are
bereaved. Mr. Evans was a Welsh
man by birth, but many years a resi
dent of this vicinity.
Will Remove.
Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Mayer will soon
become residents of town. They now
live in Eckhart, but Mr. M. wants to
get closer to his work.
Hustling the Clergy.
A newspaper man once connected
with a journal in Denver was one
day in conversation with his chief
when a clerical looking gentleman en
tered the office.
“Sir,” said he gravely, "I intend
next Sunday to preach a sermon upon
football, and it has occurred to me
that an enterprising paper like yours
would be pleased to have my manu
script. I have no doubt that any
number of your readers would be
glad to read it and”—
“All right, all right,” interrupted the
busy editor, “but you’ll have to hustle
it along. Get it in early—early, mind!
Our sporting page is the first to close.”
A Quick Change.
When Victor Murdock arrived in
Washington as a new congressman he
felt that he had the earth in a sling
and that money and expenses were
minor considerations. Accordingly he
went to the most exclusive hotel he
could find and took an elaborate suit
of rooms.
So gorgeous were his surroundings
that when Mrs. Murdock appeared on
the scene she asked him what the
charges were.
“Oh, I don’t know,” replied Murdock
unconcernedly. “I guess they’re all
right.”
“At any rate,” she suggested, “you’d
better go down and ask the clerk.”
A few minutes later he returned,
rushed into the suit like a cyclone
and began to throw things Into the
trunks. Then he stopped long enough
to telephone for a baggage man.
“I’ve figured it out!” he shouted as
he slammed up the receiver. “It's
costing us $2.16 every minute we stay
here. And we’re going to move In a
minute.”—Washington Star.

The Portuguese were the first people

Didn’t Know Him.
“Oh, Harold, I have such confidence
In you that I would believe you if you
lied to me.”
“Darling, don’t tempt me that way.”

Keep It Up.
East week the Journal asked—
“why not a hospital closer to the homes
of Frostburg patients ?”
This week the question has ma
terialized into a movement looking to
State aid in that direction, and the
prospect is excellent.
It is a proposal which should enlist
| the active support of all.

Tribute to a Popular Citizen.
W. Bladen Lowndes, president of
the First National Bank, of Mount
Savage, and vice-president of the
Second National Bank, of Cumber
land, was tendered a banquet by about
200 fellow-townsmen in Mullaney’s
Hall, Mt. Savage, Monday evening
and presented with a massive silver
punch-bowl.
Henry Mullaney, a prominent citi
zen of Mt. Savage, was toastmaster,
and filled the office admirably.
The bowl was presented by Rev.
George C. Shaw, rector of the Episco
pal Church, who referred tastefully to
Mr. Lowndes’ “fine qualities as a
citizen” and to “the good he had ac
complished in Mount Savage for the
comfort and betterment of his fellow
men.”
Other speakers were Rev. J. J.
Bowling, pastor of St. Patrick’s Cath
olic Church ; James T. Robertson, gen
eral manager of the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania railroad ; Patrick O’Con
nor, the oldest native born resident of
Mount Savage ; William E. Hamilton,
general superintendent of the Union
Mining Company; Andrew Ramsay,
president of the Mount Savage Enamel
Brick Works ; Harry A. Pitzer, cashier
of the First National Bank ; William
C. Montignani, general secretary of
the Baliimore and Ohio Railroad
Young Men’s Christion Association,
Cumberland ; William W. Brown and
C. W. Donnelly, of Cumberland.
Mr. Lowndes was visibly affected by
the demonstration and responded feel
ingly to the many good things said of
him.
After a residence in Mt. Savage of
14 years he will leave in January for
Baltimore, where he will assume the
duties of First Vice-President of the
Fidelity Trust Company.
Brevities.
Gov. Wilson, of New Jersey, the
other day denounced “stand-patters
in politics.” Wonder what he would
say of alleged stand-patters in “rhet
oric,” hailing from Eckhart?
According to the latest statistics
there are 66 millions of feeble-minded

Building Growth.
Messrs. John and Harry C. Hitchins
have commenced building operations
on two residences on West Loo street.
W. E. G. Hitchins is building an ad
dition to one of his tenements on
Frost avenue.
Mayer Brothers have commenced
work upon a new brick and concrete
edifice—to take the place of the six
ton ice factory on Uhl street. The
plans of the firm include a building
and plant of more than four times the
ice-producing capacity of the present
establishment, and it is expected that
the new concern will be ready to fur
nish “ice from distilled water” when
the season again begins.

To the Mining Journal.
“Hank’s” brand of resilience is ex
quisitely superb.
I always enjoy a good “upper-cut”
in my jaw, and “Hank’s” quoted re
mark in last week’s Journal left a
completely charming sensation. So
clean-cut, don’t you really know, and
without (?) the semblance of sarcasm.
“The female of this species is more
deadE 7 than the male 1” Eh, Kip. ?
I, myself, have often pondered the
fluency and majesty of the Journal’s
remarkable vocabulary, but even as a
child I instinctively knew better than
to even attempt to sit on a red-hot
stove. (By the way, when and where
did the Eckhart correspondent of the
Cumberland Times get his wisdom
teeth cut?)
I see the Journal is agitating a hos
pital for Frostburg. Preparing a mar
ket for my wooden-leg emporium—eh,
Journal? C. B. Ryan.

A Pleasant Affair.
Monday, November 20, 1911, was the
date of the eighth anniversarj 7 of the
institution of Washington Camp, No.
41, P. O. S. of A., this place.
In anticipation of that event a com
mittee, consisting of Roland Eammert,
chairman; Thomas E. Popp and Henry
F. Cook, was appointed to arrange
for fitting celebration.
After the routine business of the
Camp had been disposed of at its meet
ing Monday evening Mr. Lammert
mounted the rostrum and took charge
of the program which had been pre
pared. A large number of the mem
bers had assembled and were wel
comed by Mr. Eammert in a brief but
eloquent address.
District President M. E. Crabtree, of
Cumberland, was scheduled for a dis
course on “Our Order,” but for some
reason he was not present.
H. F. Cook gave a short talk on the
subject.
This was followed by the recitation
of a portion of Wendell Phillips’
speech on “Toussaint l’Ouverture”
by C. A. Rodda.
Thomas H. Morgan then made a
lengthy address on the history of
“Washington Camp, No. 41.” He
cited instances which occured during
the life of the Camp, its struggles, its
growth and success.
After Mr. Morgan’s address, Thomas
G. Jeffries spoke upon the subject of
“Immigration,” dwelling, at some
length, on its baneful influence on
American labor and American insti
tutions.
After this the meeting was thrown
open for general remarks, and several
spoke, supplementing the observations
of others.
Charles R. Page, of Washington
Camp, No. 142, Wildwood, N. J., was
present and helped to enliven the oc
casion with a short, pointed address.
After the speech-making the Camp
adjourned in a body to Albright’s res
taurant, where an oyster supper was
served in sumptous portions and royal
style.
Altogether, the occasion was the
most delightful of its kind the local
Camp has ever enjoyed, and all spoke
in hearty praise of the splendid man
ner in which the anniversary was
commemorated.

The Better Way.
If some ambitious member of the
next Legislature wants to accomplish
a really good thing, let him borrow a
copy of the Illinois Act which pensions
“the deserving poor mothers” of chil
dren bereft of fatherly support.
A correspondent of the New York
World says—of a similar proposal in
that State—
“lnstead of having to send the chil
dren away to different institutions
where the State has to pay for their
support, Illinois provides that the
moiie} 7 be given directly to the mother,
JlO per month for each child.
“The pension helps to maintain the
home, and though it may be humble,
to the mother and children it is ‘home,
sweet home.’ ”
The pension in Illinois, it seems,
provides nothing for the mother her
self, but “$lO a month for each child,”
a plan which supports a large family
more munificently than a small one.

Nation’s Coat Production.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has issued its annual coal chart,
showing the production of coal by
States from the year 1814 to 1910.
The figures relate a wonderful history
of growth. In 1814 a total of 22 tons
of coal was produced in Pennsylvania.
In 1815 the percentage of increase was
good but still only 50 tons were taken
out. By 1825 over 100,000 tons were
mined in the two States producing. In
1850 the figure had reached 7,018,181
tons. In 1876 it was 53,280,000 tons.
At the end of the century it was 269,-
684,027 tons. In 1905 it was 392,722,-
635 tons. In 1907, which it was sup
posed would remain the record year
for some time, the production was 480,-
363,424 tons, but in 1910 the enormous
total was reached of 501,596,378 short
tons, a production larger by far than
that of any other coutnry in the world.
So steady has been the increase in
American coal production that most
of the years have been record break
ers. The total production since 1814
has been approximately eight and a
quarter billion tons.

before she could be removed to her
home. She is the mother of Mrs.
George Richardson, of this place, and
a most estimable lady.
This is Easy.
Clamoring for information and seek
ing to know, one would like to be
placed in juxtaposition to this : Why
are some of the young ladies who re
side in Cumberland politer and more
intelligent than others ? I am sin
cerely inquisitive for information.
Dear Hank—that question, pro
pounded in Eckhart, would be de
nounced as a ripple in a “flood of ver
bosity,” but the true reason you ask
for is—all “young ladies who reside
in Cumberland, as in Eckhart, “are
not like” anyone of the “politer and
more intelligent” class.
A Confused Situation.
When Fred. Durr, of Pocahontas,
Pa., was last here someone asked him
about game up in his section, but
Fred, evaded by saying—
“l never hunt —unless it is in the
neighborhood of Burdockburg, where,
you know, the town has no game ordi
nance, and the first bird I ever shot
over there was a tame squirrel that
belonged to Titus A. Brick, and he
used it for a watch-dog.
“And the first time I hit that bird I
missed him, and the next time I
missed him I hit him in exactly the
same place.
“I went to see Tite about it, taking
Mr. Pink Whiskers along, but Tite
said nothing had happened; that he
never owned a bird; that he not only
still had the watch-dog, but he had
the squirrel.
“When we got out of hearing on the
way home Mr. Pink Whiskers asked—
‘Fred., what in the mischief was it
that you hit that you didn’t shoot at? ’
“I was compelled to give it up!”

Population of Maryland According
to Color.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 23, 1911.
To the Mining Journai,.
A preliminary statement of the white
and negro population of Maryland by
counties and principal cities, as shown
by the returns of the Thirteenth De
cennial Census, taken as of April 15,
1910, was issued to-day by Director
Durand, of the Bureau of the Census,
Department of Commerce and Labor.
The statistics were prepared under
the direction of William C. Hunt, Chief
Statistician for Population in the Cen
sus Bureau, and are subject to later
revision.
The total population of Maryland in
1910 was sub-divided as to color as
follows:
White 1,062,645
Negro 232,249
All other persons—Japanese,
Chinese, and Indians 452
The equivalent figures for 1900 were:
White 952,424
Negro 235,064
All others 556
Far 1890 they were :
White 826,493
Negro 215,657
All other 240
The negro population constituted
17.9 per cent, of the total population of
the State in 1910, as against 19.8 per
cent, in 1900, and 20.7 per cent, in 1890.
There has been a decrease since
1900 in the negro population of 2,815,
or 1.2 per cent., as compared with an
increase during the preceding decade
of 19,407, or 9 per cent.
The white population shows an in
crease during the past decade of 110,-
221, or 11.6 percent., as against 125,931,
or 15.2 per cent, during the decade next
preceding.
Outside of Baltimore there has been
since 1900 a decrease in the negro pop
ulation of 8,306, or 5.3 per cent., as
against an increase from 1890 to 1900
of 7,253, or 4.9 per cent.
The white and negro population of
Allegany county in 1910 and 1900 is
given as follows :
1910 1900
Whites 60,893 Whites 53,694
Negroes.... 1,517 Negroes.... 1,669
Total 62,410 Total 53,688
This table shows a gain in whites of
7,199, a loss in negroes of 152, and a
net increase of 8,722, including, prob
ably, 5 persons classified as “Indians,”
“Chinese,” “Japanese,” etc.
Astronomical.
The planet Venus was plainly visi
ble Wednesday morning after sunrise.
Saturn, now in opposition to the
sun, is in good position about 8 in the
evening to be seen. If there is a
small telescope in Frostburg, its
owner may easily see the rings of the
greatest astronomical pnzzle within
solar range.
Sound Doctrine.
Ex-Governor Warfield believes that
every voter should go to the polls and
vote.
“Dirty politics,” he says, “is due to
the neglect of those who fail to do
their duty in going to the polls, and I
am getting to the point where I want
to see every man disfranchised who
fails to exercise his only sovereign
privilege.”
