While enjoying a professional stop page in Mt. Savage some time ago Gen. Kear Hosken was thrilled with an alarm of “fire!” “Did the fire department turn out?” asked the Journal. “It did not!” replied the General, “although I know both members are as good fellows as there are any where.” “What was their excuse?” “Only that ‘this is wash-day and both our red shirts are either in the tub or just on the line, and neither of us will turn out except in uniform!’ ” A Big Automobile. The birth-day gift of a big “Cad illac” automobile by William R. Gunter, Hotel Gladstone landlord, to his son —David E., came to town last Saturday, H. W. Glisan, of Cumber land, making the delivery. At once it was proposed to give it the initial test by a round-trip to John sons — 7)4 miles, and the Journal was invited. If any difference, the up-hill fly was swifter than down-hill home. The Journal timed the latter carefully and tabbed it as 3)4 miles in minutes, a mile in less than 3 minutes, or over 21 miles an hour, allowing nothing for several slow-ups on ac count of other travel. Meanwhile, Mr. Glisan was showing David how to manipulate the running-gear, etc. The machine is large and powerful, and will unquestionably be of great and comfortable service to Gladstone guests. Endorses the Governor. Govenor Goldsborough is going about the building and improvement of Maryland roads in a very thorough and businesslike manner. The “stitch in time” plan of the new Commission is an excellent one and will, if adopted save many a dollar of the taxpayers’ money. Although it would be ideal to have model roads over the entire State it is too soon for that, considering the money available at present. The next best thing is a series of exten sive throughfares—much traveled arteries—properly maintained and more road building at moderate cost. -—Emmitsburg (Md.) Chronicle.

Lewis, Congressman , from this district, addressed a meet ing of the St. David’s Society of Bal f timore at the home of Dr. J. A. Evans, 101 North Carey street, Friday even -5 ing of last week. ’ His subject was “Lloyd George, ’ England’s Welsh Chancellor of the Exchequer.” Most probably the first “St. David’s 1 Society” organized on this continent is that in Frostburg, and the members ' of no other institution of that name ' would appreciate more a tribute to one 5 of the biggest men in the British em , pire. ’ Why not have Mr. Lewis come here j and tell Welshmen of Wales’ greatest living son? Board Completed and Organized. As indicated in the Journal last week, Messrs. Roberdeau Annan, - Walter W. Wittig, William R. Gunter and Dr. Timothy Griffith, guberna l torial appointees of the Miners Hos pital Board, met Monday evening and ; after completing the Board by select f ing John H. Dunstan, Herman V. Hesse and Dr. J. Marshall Price, or f ganized as follows: , President—Dr. Timothy Griffith. Secretary—Walter W. Wittig. ; Treasurer —Roberdeau Annan. > Messrs. Wittig and Dunstan and Dr. ; Price were appointed a committee— 1, To confer with the Mayor and Council Tuesday evening concerning . a site for the .institution, and— 2, To investigate hospital methods , elsewhere and compile by-laws for the observance of the Board. . Under the Act providing for the - Hospital $25,000 will be available for l building, and $5,000 annually for l maintenance. ’ Liberal Offer Quickly Accepted. > At a meeting of the County Commis sioners Friday afternoon of last week ' Allen Luke, of the town of Luke, 1 headed a delegation which proposed to the Commissioners that for an in crease of the county appropriation from SIO,OOO to $12,000 for a public : school building at that place, that they—the Messrs. Luke, would donate ; therefor a site, worth at the very least, : $6,000, and $4,000 in cash. The Commissioners jumped at the ' proposition, accepting it at once. A. C. Willison, County Superintend • ent, accompanied by Harry Irvine, ■ School Cammissioner, was the spokes man. c The Messrs. Luke are the propri l etors of the extensive paper mills at Luke, employing many workmen, ' whose children they are anxious to provide with the best accommodations ' and teaching ability available. Since Capt. Nelson Beall gave the • Beall High School lot to the county for public-school occupation and util ' ity this is probably the only donation 1 within the same range so distinctly liberal and beneficial in promotion of J popular education. The Right Man. ( Thomas L. Popp, of this place, has [ been appointed canvasser for the Home-Coming Finance Committee, [ and has entered upon his duties. These comprise a visit to every ( house and a call upon every resident for the most liberal contribution each can afford to make to the fund for de fraying the expenses of the great function. W. E. G. Hitchins, chairman of the , Committee, could not have made a ! better selection, as Mr. Popp is an amiable acquaintance of everybody. > He will fill his engagement, too, con scientiously, thoroughly and quickly. Those, therefore, whom he has not , reached should be ready to give him . a liberal reception. May Weather. I R. A.

Then, too, one may notice that phy sicians and lawyers and other wise men always hold their conventions in summer, and, invariably at the sea shore Baltimore Evening Sun. And not a few still “other wise men” are beginning to abandon the malaria of “the seashore” to adopt the ozone of Frostburg. Two State Conventions already held here this year, and more to follow. Crushed to Death. Miss Eleanor Crowe, 18 years old, formerly of this place, was crushed to death last Saturday afternoon in an elevator of the Monongah Glass Com pany’s Works, Fairmont, W. Va. She and Miss Nellie Sypult, 18 years old, of Fairmont, were on the ele vator, when it started upward, catch ing them between the platform and a floor, crushing both to death. All the circumstances indicate that the fatality was an accident for which no one was to blame. It occurred during the noon hour, when relaxation was the rule. Although warned by signs, they did not really think that play with the elevator was dangerous. But they were mistaken, and in less time than it takes to narrate the tragedy, both lives were crushed out by a three-ton squeeze of their com paratively frail bodies. The body of Miss Crowe was at once brought here and funeral services in St. MichaH’s Church were held Tues day morning; interment in the Porter cemetery. The young lady was one of several children—a daughter of Mrs. Syl vester Crowe, whose husband died several years ago. The family had lived in Fairmont only a short time. Differeace. In future, the faces of the clocks in France will show 24 hours in their faces, and strike the full numbers from one to twenty-four in announc ing the passing of each hour of the day. In each 24 hours there will be 300 strokes, compared with 78 under the 12-hour run. Hurt Agaia. Noah Hendley, ex-Sheriff, was hurt Tuesday while at work in a planing mill, in Cumberland. A flying board struck him in the side, breaking a rib and bruising him painfully. Hotel Gladstoae. William R. Gunter, proprietor of Hotel Gladstone, has lately purchased the 82-acre farm of Simon Weimer, about six miles from town, in Garrett county, and proposes to operate it as subsidiary and tributary to the hotel. In other words, it will be conducted as a huge garden for the growth of vegetables, fruits—even of' choice meats. It is contemplated, too, to add to this plant another tract of grazing land whereon to raise and graze cows, produce milk, cream and butter es pecially for hotel consumption. Between the farms and hotel the new auto, supplemented by a truck, will fly, carrying hotel offal, edible for stock, one way; farm and dairy pro ducts the other. The plan is very comprehensive, and, carried out, will unquestionably subserve many economies now unat tainable. The Gladstone is already one of the model hotels of the State in comfort able accommodations and fare. In clude its altitude and scenic environ ment, and there is none superior.

Henry Wilson, of Harrisburg', Pa., both legs gone and moving around on the short stumps left, Saturday even ing, soliciting help to get artificial limbs, collected a considerable num ber of silver coins. This was observed by a man who, it is believed, lives about two miles away. Anyway, about 2 o’clock Sunday morning the poor fellow was “held up” in front of the St. Cloud Hotel by a man whose face was hidden by a handkerchief, presenting a revolver and demanding unconditional surren der of all collections. Instead of so complying, Wilson emitted a yell for help which brought ex-judge E. J. Decker, proprietor, to the rescue. Meanwhile, the robber hit Wilson on the nose, slipped over the street and disappeared. The landlord took the bleeding cripple in and cared for him the re mainder of the night. It is an immense pity that a police man was not nearby. “Ignorance is Bliss.” A Montana paper says— “A self-made man is usually in such a hurry to finish the job that he neglects to add the finishing touches.” There are one, two, three, etc., of him in Prostburg, but in each in stance he doesn’t know yet that he is unfinished. He is going along under the con viction that there is nothing more to “add.” Without knowing it, too, he treats his town as if that also were finished. Symmetry vs. Anomaly. In the last analysis it must be con ceded — 1, That a painter can paint a house better than a plumber;— 2, That a dentist can extract a tooth better than a blacksmith; — 3, That a surgeon can remove a tumor better than a pastor;— 4, That the general manager can run a railroad better than a Congress man; — 5, That a lawyer can interpret a legal technicality better than a public meeting, and— 6, That the Journal can reflect more patriotic credit upon home ad vertisers than newspapers published in the interest of other communities. (iood Purpose—Good People. Two sets of people were generous Tuesday afternoon —the management of the Frostburg Opera House and the Frostburg Illuminating and Manufac turing Company. The one gave half of the matinee receipts to the fund for improving the grounds of Beall High School, and the other furnished the electric power necessary to propel the moving-pic ture machinery for reproducing Scott’s “Eady of the Eake” on the Opera House screen. The pictures were among the best ever presented here, and the purpose which won the audiences was most meritorious. They Are Coming. Miss Haidee W. Frost, Kansas City, Mo., writes— “l want to thank the committee for the very pretty invitation to the Home-Coming in August. It is very nicely gotten up indeed. I feel sure the whole week will be a grand one in the memory of very many home comers. I am thinking a great deal about it, and I certainly will enjoy seeing my friends again.” I WST 13 YEARS OLD fl| FINEST \ PUREST I American WBey!

Promptness in the payment of small debts,.as well as large ones, will contribute at all seasons to the comfort of everybody, but more especially now, in the beginning of the year, when there are few who do not have something to pay or to re ceive. “Money Makes the Mare Go” is an old proverb, originating very likely on the turf. It also makes business go in all its depart ments. Ready cash is the one essential, and when it circulates freely, from hand to hand, in the dis charge of obligations is as much of a blessing as the gentle dew, which descends alike upon the just and the unjust. Therefore — “Cash Up” and help to make each other happy. Blessed are those who pay promptly, because they in their turn shall be paid.
