Honoring the Flag.
Members of patriotic organizations
marched to Jr. O. U. A. M. Park last
Sunday by hundreds, and other peo
ple attended by thousands. No less
than 1,500 men, representing a dozen
organizations, led by the Frostburg
City Band, were in line, while the
large pavilion was jammed with audi
tors.
What seemed really nice for a Sun
day parade—it was modestly mar
shaled, no displays of horsemanship
detracting from its dignity.
Within the pavilion nearly 2,000
people heard the patriotic airs and ad
dresses.
Thomas H. Morgan, of this place,
presided, and Rev. G. E. Metger, pas
tor of Salem Reformed Church, in
voked the blessing.
Rev. D. H. Martin, D. D., of First
M. E. Church, delivered the first ad
dress, during which he lauded both

the Flag and people. A Northern
man, with a Northern education and
sympathies, he yet found incidentally
much in Southern heroism and patriot
ism to admire, especially in the course
of the South during the Spanish-
American contest. Then and there
the South, through ex-Confederate of
ficers—Fitzhugh Eee, “Eittle Joe
Wheeler,” and others, and R. P. Hob-
son, attested both its devotion and
courage in defence of the Flag. Al
together, Dr. Martin’s address was
very entertaining and patriotically
eloquent.
Rev. J. N. Beall, D. D., of the Pres
byterian Church, spoke briefly along
similar lines.
Prof. William James Heaps, presi
dent of Milton University, of Balti
more, spoke eloquently in favor of
restricting foreign immigration as one
method, of preserving intact the su
premacy and integrity of the American
Flag. The current unrestricted
method of admitting foreigners, he
contended, is one fraught with danger
to the Flag and to the institutions
which it symbolizes and protects. A
Legislative League, whose organiza
tion was provoked by some political
conduct in Baltimore, had determined
to make this an issue in the coming
campaign, and that any Congressional
candidate not in favor of reasonable
restrictions in immigration would be
opposed. Prof. Heaps’ address was
greatly applauded.
After the benediction, pronounced
by Rev. B. E. Bray, of the First Bap
tist Church, the lines re-formed, and
the visitors soon occupied the two
regular and five special cars held here
for their accommodation.

The items below were current
during the week ending

A ramble over the new Catholic
cemetery developed the facts that it
was purchased by Rev. V. F. Schmitt
from the McCulloh Heirs in 1881 for
$1,200, has a frontage of 550 feet and
depth of 236 feet—about 3 acres. It
was beautifully laid off by Francis
W. Maurey. The first grave was that
of A. E. Frey, and several pretty monu
ments had already been erected—one
of “an old miner,” Richard McGann,
and another to the memory of Joseph
Hartman.
The Cumberland papers seemed to
be run by “poor, wayfaring people,
full of grief.”
Edward Dufty having renovated
and refitted Foresters Hall, a number
of young men projected a grand
“house-warming” therein for Thurs
day, June 29th.
E. M. Gorsuch, Henry Snyder and
William H. Parker reported as having
greatly improved their properties.
Walter S. Ravenscraft and wife, of
West Virginia, visited the former’s
father—Dr. W. H. Ravenscraft.
Dr. C. H. Ohr, of Cumberland, spent
several days in Frostburg, and W. S.
Hoblitzell, of Ohio, visited his former
home here.
Monday, June 19th, William Te
cumseh, son of Gen. William T. Sher
man, accompanied by an orderly,
visited Frostburg. He was a guest of
the St. Cloud hotel, and while here
made a tour of New Hope mine, es
corted by James Shields, a veteran
miner.
Mrs. J. Wesley Porter visited a sick
sister-in-law, Mrs. Humphrey Harvey,
formerly of Eckhart, at Shawnee,
Ohio. Eater Mrs. Harvey died.
Mrs. Margaret Plummer, wife of
David Plummer, died at Borden Shaft
Sunday, June 11, 1882.
Judge-Advocate General Swaim and
family, of Washington, arrived at
Beall’s Mont View Cottage, to spend
the summer.
A Frostburg gentleman contem
plated erecting an observatory on a
vacant lot adjoining the Catholic
cemetery for sight-seeing. “Several

Rev. W. O. Petty, pastor of the
Baptist Church, was announced to
preach in Scottdale, Pa., Sunday,
June 25th.
The Memphis Avalanche was reported
as telling the Tennessee repudiators
that “if they will stop their grog for
five years and kill off the dogs they
can pay the State debt, principal and
interest, and have money left to buy
sheep.”
Some miners in Wales, exploring an
old mine, that had long been closed,
found the body of a young man dressed
in a fashion long out of date. The
body was perfectly preserved, appear
ing to be asleep rather than dead.
The miners were much puzzled, as no
one in the commumity had been missed
within their memory. It was at last
determined to bring the oldest in
habitant—an old maiden lady long
past her 80th year, to see the corpse.
At once the old lady fell on, kissed,
and addressed it in terms of endear
ment, spoken in the tongue of a by
gone generation. He had been her
only love, and she had waited for him
all her life. She knew, too, he had
not forsaken her. But the lover had
disappeared mysteriously; in fact, one
day he had never returned from his
work. But Time, which stood still
with the young man, had left its marks
upon the woman. The miners re
moved her to her home, and that night
her spirit rejoined that of her long
lost, long-mourned lover.
Good Intentions.
I know of a way-down town where the
streets are paved
With things the men meant to
achieve.
It is walled with the money they
meant to have saved,
And the pleasures for which they
grieve.
The kind words unspoken, the
promises broken,
And many a coveted boon
Are stowed deep away there, in that
town of Somewhere—
“ The promised land” of Pretty Soon.
At the rate of 33 '/$ per cent.,
And with a show of pride so keen,
Down the beautiful fire-brick
pavements went
In the great town of Never Seen.

When The Heart Is Light.
When the heart is light what matters
all beside ?
Should aught go wrong we know
’twill soon come right—
When daily petty woes do us betide
We smile and bear them—if the
heart is light.
Though heavy clouds should gather
overhead
We have no fear—we know they
cannot last;
For soon the sun it’s warm, bright
rays will shed,
And chase the gloom which over us
was cast.
Though our feet are weary and the
days seem long,
And our hands are busy from morn
until night—
Yet we greet the morning with a
burst of song,
For we count it nothing—if the
heart is light.
When the heart is happy all the worlij
seems bright;
Joy fills the soul; there’s music
everywhere.
Fove being the leaven which keeps it
light,
What matters all the rest when it is
there ?

“Miss Fearless & Co.”
The annual play, given by the Seniors
of the State Normal School in Frost
burg Opera House Friday evening of.
last week, was a great success.
A well-filled auditorium showed
popular appreciation of the work done,
both by the cast and those of the drill.
Miss Mays, Miss Malcolm, Miss
Williams and Miss Cathcart, as “Miss
Fearless & C 0.,” acted their parts
“right up to nature” when they tried
to get along without the “lords of
creation,” and found it impossible to
do so!
Miss Jane Morton, as “Euphemia
Addison,” a tender, shrinking plant
of uncertain age, with love affairs, did
an excellent piece of work, having al
ternately to act “the tender, shrink
ing plant, the nervous, hysterical
martyr,” and finally “the balked,
frenzied, would-be eloper.”
Miss Anna Barncord, as “Sara Jane
Eovejoy,” the only “fearless” one of
the bunch, and who was an old maid
and didn’t care who knew it, came to
the rescue of “Miss Fearless & C 0.,”
bringing her favorite cat and hen.
She took her part in a natural, fault
less manner.
Miss Kathleen McDermott, as “Katie
O’Connor,” the maid, kept things
lively at each appearance.
Miss Esther Steiner, as “Just
Eizzie,” the Ghost, took a difficult
part remarkably well—just as the
ghost; then as the untrained little
heathen; then slowly responding to
kindness and Christian training.
Messrs. Walker Chapman and
Ramon Grim took the parts of the
“Silent Sisters,” appearing in blae.k
gowns and veils, and pfoved over
again the undeniable fact that true
love can pierce any disguise when
“two hearts beat as one.”
All the parts were well taken with
out any exception, and the cast de
serves great credit, as it was the first
appearance in public for several of
them.
The Delsarte Drill, by thirteen
Juniors, was a salient feature of the
evening—a difficult piece of work on
account of the extreme slowness of
each movement, in order to sway all
the parts of the body in unison. The
thirteen participants wore white
Grecian costumes, and used scarfs of
different colors. The music used for
the drill was “The Druid’s Prayer”—
a most beautiful selection and splen
didly rendered, as was all the music
for the evening by Prof. Beall’s Or
chestra.
Both play and drill were a great
success following much hard work by
both pupils and trainer, certainly a
decided credit to the latter—Mrs.
Ewing.
Beautiful Accomplishments.
The art exhibit at the State Normal
School Monday and Tuesday was ex
ceptionally fine.
* The work was done by the Senior
and Junior Classes, and the Freshmen,
B and C, under the tuition and di
rection of Miss Jane Shields, the art
teacher.
The accomplishments of the Senior
and Junior Classes included drawing
in pencil and charcoal; painting of
fruits, leaves and flowers; designs for
stenciling cushions, scarfs and cur
tains.
A number of scarfs and cushions
were on display, and the windows of
the room were hung with beautifully
stenciled curtains made by the
students.
The Nature-work charts are pieces
of art.
The Freshmen B and C Classes
made a fine display of map drawing
and coloring; relief maps in clay;
charts in Elementary Science show
ing the germination of plants in draw
ing and description, and charts of
drawings in physiology.
Many visitors viewed the exhibits
Monday and Tuesday and only terms
of the highest praise were heard.
Much credit is due Miss Shields for
the patience, care and skill she has
displayed in one of the highest
branches of tuition, and to her pupils
for so many beautiful works of art
achieved.
In the Realm of Fraternity.
Warren P. Seipp, grand lecturer of
the Grand Eodge of Masons of Mary
land, visited Mountain Eodge, A., F.
and A. M., of this place, Thursday
evening, and will return next Thurs
daj' evening and pay Ohr Chapter,
Royal Arch, a similar call.
Clarke Hall.
Work upon this institution pro
gresses rapidly, and enough is already
visible to show that in stage and audi
torium space it is ahead of anything
in Frostburg. The seating capacity
—floor and gallery, will be about 800,
and chairs will be of the latest steel
model.
Rev. J. S. Cuddy, assistant pastor,
purchased this week for Hall use a
costly Knabe grand piano, and is
daily promoting the building work.
Workmen are engaged, too, in open
ing an entree between St. Michael’s
Church and the pastoral residence,
which will afford easy approach from
and to Union street.
