Mining^pJournal. ./. BENSON ODER, Editor. FROSTBURG, MD, - - NOV. 9, 1912 THE FUTURE IS SAFE. It will stand forever to Woodrow Wilson’s credit that in all of' his hun dreds of addresses during the late campaign he uttered not a disparag ing word of his competitors. There were provocations, but he heeded them not, exemplifying to the final and complete degree the Master’s policy, taught and practised, of “re turning good for evil.” It seems unlikely, therefore, that a man whose character is thus indexed, will be an unsafe custodian of the country’s honor and the people’s welfare. Moreover, he is a scholar in all the branches of political, commercial and civic learning, that go to make a Chief Magistrate truly great, Hence, without the slightest deroga tion of his competitors—all or singly, the Journal independently feels that for four years the country will be not only “safe,” but “progressive” in the highest and best sense.

Owing to a sudden flooding of the valley of Klein-Dietwill, Switzerland, three peasants engaged in hay-making were forced -to take refuge in a tree, where they remained forty-eight hours. Pontoons were launched as soon as the men were missed, but the rush of water was so great that It was impossible for a time to reach them. Not an Unmlxed Blessing. A woman claims that by prayer and fasting she has gained the gift of tongues and now can converse In any language. The cynics will probably retort that, taking the self-asserted miracle for granted, one tongue has proved to be far too voluble a ve hicle for the majority of her sex, and that the access of all languages is not so much a personal merit as a gen eral misfortune. —Baltimore Amer ican. No Poetry There. W. D. Howells, at a luncheon at Kittery Point, said to a certain popu lar novelist: “There is about as much poetry in him as there is in McMas ters. McMasters, you know, was walking with a beautiful girl in a wild New England wood. ‘What is your fa vorite flower, Mr. McMasters?’ the girl asked softly. McMasters thought a moment, then cleared his throat and answered: ‘Well, I believe I like the whole-wheat best.’ ” Moving Pictures Popular. In a recent number of the Daily Consular Reports are collected memo randa from cities and towns in vari ous distant parts of the word showing the universal quality of the popular interest which the moving pictures excite. England, Japan, Turkey, Mex ico, India, Australia and the islands of the sea all have the same story to tell; wherever the cinematograph goes it finds an instant and sustained welcome.

The Mountaineer Club met in their 1 room in Clarke Hall Wednesday evening, had a good time—singing, playing, and initiating new members. EUROPEAN TRIP A RELIEF FROM CARE For years the Browns had planned ft European trip, but every year some thing happened to prevent their get ting away. First the children were ill, and then Mrs. Brown Invited guests for a short time, who stayed Beveral months, preventing the Browns, by the dwindling of the bank account, from going abroad that year. Thus things went on. Finally Brown declared as an abso lute certainty that Europe would . them the following year. All their friends were notified and everything was done to make it impossible for their trip to be prevented. When all was ready, however, Brown was ordered by his firm to se cure a particularly desirable contract at any cost. It meant a lot to the firm and to Brown, but it also meant months of untiring effort—effort that could not be put forth in Europe. Brown, however, had made his Vow and he refused to let his business in terfere with his family’s plans. The family could go to Europe even if he couldn’t. They had relatives abroad, and, besides, he could send thenj with a party. So he packed them on the train and looked as cheerful aS pos sible when it pulled out. When he returned home, however, he began to realize how lonesome it was there. It got on his nerves finally and he resolved to board during his bachelorhood. So he moved to a ho tel. Then the thought came to him to rent his house for the months that it would be vacant unless he rented it. There was no earthly use in letting it stand and gather dust, which was the same as throwing away a goodly sum of money each month. Some one would be only too glad of the oppor tunlty to live in a well furnished house in a fashionable suburb, with all the benefits of the Browns’ home com forts. Some one, no doubt, was search ing eagerly for such an opportunity. So Brown hastened to advertise the treat in store for some one. The number of replies he received was. highly gratifying to him. After picking out the letter written on the best appearing stationery he clinched the bargain over the telephone. Of course, the tenants refused to pay nearly what he thought his house was worth, but on reflection he concluded that they were really caretakers for him who would look after his property generally. He even began to feel un der obligations to them for their will ingness to take his house and he urged them to make themselves per fectly at home, assuring them that everything in the house was theirs to use as they desired. When he hung up the receiver he heaved a sigh of relief and content. He needn’t even think of the house again until his family were about to return. It was really a great idea of his to have some one take care of the property for him; now he could devote his entire time to the task of getting that important contract. It was about a week later that over the telephone he listened to a very in dignant feminine voice commanding his immediate presence at his home. Fearing no less calamity than a fire, Brown hastened to catch the first train to the familiar suburb. "What’s the matter?” he asked of the woman who opened the door after be had established his identity. “Why,” she replied, without inviting him in, “I wanted to ask you where I can find the potato knife and the carving set. And when you rented us this place you gave us to understand that it was completely furnished! Well, ever since we moved in we’ve been unable to find things we ought to have! There are no oyster forks nor Individual butter knives! And the ta ble linen is a disgrace—we could never Invite guests to dine with us with such linen! “And the water froze the first night we were here, so we had to have A plumber, and that was $7. He says your drains are in a terribly insani tary condition, and if we get typhoHl we shall certainly charge our doctqjf bills to you! You’ve no business acF vertising a perfect home —it’s getting money under false pretenses! “We’ve had to buy lots of little things. Your brooms are dreadful, and some of your kitchen utensils were absolutely worn out. We’ll Just take the cost out of the rent —for, of course, the things will belong to the house.” Brown had ceased to listen. He was contemplating the gown worn by his tenant —a dainty house dress of Mrs. Brown’s. His wife had left much of her wardrobe at home, he knew. In the doorway, to receive the first foot prints of the incomers, was the Browns’ most valuable rug, treasured as very gold! He wondered what might lie beyond his vision! He stuttered helplessly, trying to express his dissatisfaction, but the glare of righteous indignation in his tenant’s eyes rendered him inarticu late. “All the rent for the first month is already paid out,” said the woman. “When the plumber’s bill comes in shall we send it to you, or shall we pay It out of next month’s rent?” “There —there won’t be another month!” exploded Brown, turning on his heel to prevent himself from ma king further unseemly remarks. But as he stamped along the street he re called that the objectionable occupants of his home had a lease to fortify them against his wrath. —Chicago Daily News.

Preparations for an interesting occasion are in progress. An entertainment and bazar is an nounced for Thanksgiving evening, 28th inst., in the lecture-room of First M. E.

A number of cameras will be taken and pictures made of the most impressive scenes. Next Tuesday evening Clarke Hall will be filled with a gay concourse of young people, who gather, not only to enjoy the thrills of the dance, but to help the Synagogue enterprise. The hall, it will be remembered, was do nated for the evening by Rev. S. J. Clarke, pastor of St. Michael's, and other contributions will help to make the enterprise a great success. Washington Camp, No. 41, P. O. S. of A., and the Jr. O. U A. M. Coun cil No’s 11 and 123, have united in a project to hold a Thanksgiving ser vice of particular interest. At the last meeting of Civic Club it was determined to hold semi-monthly meetings during the winter months— on the second and last Tuesdays. The next meeting will be held Tues day evening, 12th inst.

The daughters of the household, ar dent suffragists, according to the Houisville Courier-Journal, were talk ing politics. “Taft will sweep the country,” de clared Mabel. “Wilson will sweep the country,” asserted Maud. “Roosevelt will sweep the country,” answered Margaret. At this point dad took a hand. “Never mind about who’s going to sweep the country,” said he. “Who’s going to sweep the kitchen?” A Work of Art. That engraved picture by Walter E. Jeffries must be seen to be duly appre ciated. A silvered plate shows a do mestic scene of rare beauty—a hall wa3 r , winding stairs, child and dog, all environed by artistic figures and curvings of classic conception and faultless execution. Walter is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jeffries, only 19 years old, but an artist already superior to many whose career is well-nigh finished. Now Cared For. Under order of Hon.

He will meanwhile play a leading part in the Maryland Theatre Orchestra, Cumberland. A Surprise. Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Smith recently went to “keeping house” on Frost avenue, and Tuesday evening, while nearly everybody else was listening for election returns a large number of their friends, each carrying a cooking utensil, called on them and indulged “a kitchen shower.” They were much surprised, and yet—awfully pleased! The Election. Tuesday, as forecast last week, was an ideal day for the people to go to the polls, yet of 1824 town voters only 1247 voted the presidential ticket and only 1161 the congressional ticket. Two of the features of the contest were — In District No. 12 the Socialist ticket polled more votes than any other for President and Vice-President, and in towm more votes than the republican ticket—national and congressional.

A Democratic Cheer. GkanTSViILE, Md., November 6, 1912. To the Mining Journal. ’ Forgotten are defeats, opprobrium, neglect; Triumph crowns the way where once we, dejected, sat! 1 Again we face the world, our heads proudly erect, And cry—how good it feels to be a Democrat ! > Sara Roberta Getty. > Election Incidents. Next morning William R. Gunter ■ got tired of looking at the bulletins I and entered a course of study of the ’ night’s edition of the Hotel-Gladstone register, “which,” he said, “showed . the election of several choice rooms -by guests.” 1 John B. Williams can’t understand ‘ why democrats didn’t cheer like re publicans do when they win. But he t was too far away to hear at least one r outburst just in front of the gate of - the West-Mechanic street court-house. E. J. Decker laughed so much at ■ his recollections of “Jeff and Mutt” that he had to stay up all of Tuesday i night. “Besides,” he said, “demo -1 cratic triumphs come along so seldom ; that I wanted to enjoy the whole thing i while the news was coming.” Mean > while, perforce of habit, he allowed three belated electric-car passengers 1 to register as guests of the St. Cloud , Hotel. t John Geis, coming home from work ’ Wednesday afternoon, said “every thing looks bright for democratic suc -1 cess, but have the returns from Sang Run come in yet?” John laughed t while saying this, because there is a tradition of the era before Garrett be , came a county, when a democrat was r elected to an Allegany office and actu ally commissioned ! but, lo ! the re turns from Sang Run, hitherto unno ticed by the electoral board, came in and elected “the other feller” by a majority of 1! For years Horace Resley, always in humor, would de clare his unalterable opposition to in ducting any man into office in this country before the vote at Sang Run ’ had 1 een returned ! There was some fun on Grant street Wednesday evening when a bet be tween Abraham Mateese and P. T. McGann was settled. Mateese had wagered McGann that Wilson would not be elected; otherwise, he would 3 roll (not row) an 8-gallon keg of water from the base to the summit of Grant street —a gallon for each hundred feet. Of course, Mateese lost, but he did ; the job, sustained by the cheers of a host of sympathizers. Hater the Fed eral Hill Amandolina Association ser- J enaded bettor and bettee, and much fun ensued. John M. Streett, of Cumberland, was in town Thursdaj T . Asked—“how are you getting along under the commis sion form of government ?” he said “not so well—since Tuesday. All the democrats in Cumberland now want a • change from commission to democrat " ic government. As it is, with Wilson ' and Marshall in the national chairs, ' we are going to feel that government > in Washington is ‘out of tune’ with 1 government in Cumberland.” ' Frank J. McMahon, of Cumberland, was in the metropolis Monday after ’ noon about 15 hours before the polls t opened, but at that moment was not ' sure which of the three leading nomi nees would be elected. “Wilson,” he said, “had declared that it is all over but the counting;” Teddy “that it is ■ all over except the shouting,” while > Taft had contended “that the extra r silent vote is too large to make any f result dead sure.” r , Arloii Band Concert. : A large and appreciative audience heard" the German Arion Band in Clarke Hall Monday evening, and the program, published herein last week, > was rendered in the Band’s usual ’ masterly style. Indeed, it was one of the Band’s ■ classic efforts —the climax of a num ’ ber of special rehearsals—one that 1 pleased the auditors whose applause, 1 in turn, delighted the Band. The proceeds went to benefit of j : St. Michael’s Church. New Paving. 1 The contract for paving First street, ’ from Uhl avenue to North Water street, has been awarded to Brady Brothers, and work is already under way. It will be a good job of “Hammond” . : brick and cement-work. i Besides the extended abuttal of the : ■ St. Michael’s Church property, includ ’ ing Clarke Hall, several other big rear frontages will be thus improved— Stanton’s Theatre; the Jarrett, Durst 1 and Gladstone-annex blocks; the Shea building, and Hotel Gladstone. F OOT-BALL. The Keyser Preps came up last Saturday and rastled with the High Beall class and got rushed out by a score of 13 to 12! It was found out later by the two percentage men that the ratio of weight talent favored Beall'High as per 104 to 96. Hence the result. Nick Metzger said “the play was conducted in a manner so parliamen tary that not a leader was strained, not a nerve racked, nor a cuss insti gated. Keyser went home almost as well pleased as if the score had been 26 to 24. One Keyser boy, in fact, de clared he was coming back to Frost burg again—next time to see one of our girls, but didn't say which.” Mister Clifton E. Gurd, of Keyser, W. Va., accuses the Frostburg cor respondent of the Cumberland News and the Beall H. School foot-ball class of unsportsmanlike behavior. The correspondent omitted mention of a score that the Bealls embezzled from a feller named Nordeck. And then he didn’t tell how some Frostburg outsiders pushed the ball back after the down-touch. And then there was a fight between the Frostburg rooters and the Keyser Preps, “aided, abetted, and partici pated in by an official of the Frost burg school!” One wouldn’t think that foot-ball is a dishonest as well as dangerous game, but Mister Gurd says Frost burg, not wanting to contest with Nordeck and Craig, “proceeded to de liberately knock them out!” Why, Frostburg, ain't you ashamed? But, “both went down a number of times” under the influence of “hard knocks,” until “finally, Nordeck was knocked completely unconscious by a vicious kick in the face!” Lastlj', Mister Gurd says— “ln no other game this year have we had to contend with dirty playing and it is only necessary to refer to Terra Alta and to Lonaconing to learn whether we play clean foot-ball or not.” The Journal doesn’t know anything of the demerits of this game, but it believes that both Beall High School and the town would be ten times bet ter off if there were no occasion for the publication of such reports. HAD THE HABIT He (nervously)—What will your fa ther say when I tell him we’re en caged T She—He’ll be delighted, dear. He always Is. Preposterous. She took her father’s last summer milt, cut off one of the legs of the trousers, and thus provided herself with a skirt. From a worn-out linen handkerchief she secured enough ma terial for the waist she desired. Then she found an old bath towel and con verted it into a hat for herself. Yet the young man who loved her was warned by his mother that the girl did not have proper ideas of economy. Re-Orgauizatiou. At a meeting of the Altar Guild, St. John’s Episcopal Church, Tuesday evening, re-organization was deter mined, and officers elected as follows: President—Rev. F. M. C. Bedell. Directress —Miss Nan McCulloh. Sub-Directress—Mrs. F. H. Schrei ber. Secretary—Miss Ethel Winter. Treasurer—Mrs. J. A. Caldwell. The New Synagogue. Excavation work has begun on the Hebrew Synagogue, corner of Steyer and Taylor streets, under supervision of Emory G. Plummer, contractor. The edifice is to be of commodious size, substantial structure arid modern architecture. Incidentally, a pleasing reflection is the unanimity with which all religious orders have contributed to the build ing fund. The New Post-Office. Government Superintendent of Con struction, George W. Deitrich, of Washington, D. C., arrived a few days ago and took supervisory charge of the new post-office construction and erection. His office is Room No. 8, Shea Build ing, and here he will remain while work goes on until the edifice is com pleted. The first story, excavated, is ready for the concrete which is to underlie the entire structure. On the Union-street front a tempo rary building for storage and work has been erected —a provision which makes feasible much progress during the winter. Mr. Deitrich is a pleasant, affable gentleman, on his own part, and on our’s he is already mnch enamored of Frostburg. Build Up. When you pull down the town which is your home, you are pulling down yourself, and when you build up you are building up yourself and your neighbor; Try and banish from your mind the mistaken idea that all good things are away off in some other locality. Give your town all the praise it can • legitimately bear. It certainly will do you no harm and will cost you nothing; and above all, patronize your home institutions Westminster Times. Married. At the parsonage of Mt. Zion Welsh Baptist Church Wednesday evening, , November 6, 1912, by Rev. E. George, Miss Mary Margaret Eewis to Mr. . George Williamson McEuckie. both , of this place. The bride is a daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Eewis, of Welsh Hill; is an accomplished musician; has been organist of Mt. Zion Church several years, and in . every respect an elegant young lady. The groom, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McEuckie, is widely held as one of Frostbiirg’s choice young men—a credit to the community in which he has been reared. He is one , of the valuable employees of the Con [ solidation Coal Company, holding the important office of engineer at the Old { Shaft. Hence both bride and groom . have a host of friends of the best class. The attendants were Miss Margaret Jones, a friend of the bride, and Mr. George Eewis—her brother. 1 Definitions. Football is an effort on the part of 44 shin-guards to occupy the same space at the same time. It is classed as a game, but looks more like a clinic. It is called football because the ball is about a foot long. It takes 22 men to play football and somewhere near twice that number to keep them in repair. An automobile is durability itself beside a football player. In our large colleges the football garage is constantly filled during the fall with football players who have had to go into the back shop for a thorough overhauling. The chief objects used in the game beside the players are a referee’s whistle, two goal-posts, a Red-Cross wagon, a barrel of splints, a loud, virulent yell, a car-load of flags and a few hundred rooters with brass-lined threats. A rooter is a baseball fan with a cold weather carburetor. He can stand for hours in the snow and yell without disturbing anyone outside of his own Congressional dis trict George Fitch.
