FROSTBURG, MD. - - DEC. 7, 1912
BUILD THE BELT LINE.
It is cheering to witness the interest
manifested by the enterprising, public
spirited people of Bowery street in
the building of the Belt-Line exten
sion of the electric railway.
They present excellent reasons, too,
but not all.
The town has done much for the
electric railway; indeed, the town has
been, is, and will continue to be a pro
lific gold mine to that money-making
institution, so much so that, if en
dowed with the least sense or inspira
tion of reciprocity, it would delay no
longer to do what, in the first place , it
proposed to do.
The Belt Line is wanted for at least
four important promotive purposes—-
1, To restore and carryout the orig
inal public-spirited proposition and
plan of the railway’s projectors;—
2, To furnish transportation conve
niences to the larger section of town,
now denied ;
3, To carry out-of-town passengers
through the town , so that the western
and southern sections, thus enabled to
advertise themselves, can be seen,
and last, not least—
4, To thus promote the building-up
of properties and enhancement of
values in sections eligible to growth
and improvement.
In the current situation all that an
out-of-town passenger can see of the
town is about one-half of Union street
and three-fourths of Grant street!
And nearly all of his Union-street
ride he has to look at the same front
door scenery twice —going and coming,
instead of going nearly the full length
of the other pretty terminal section —
on by the new post-office, scaling High
street on the summit of Federal Hill
to Loo street, meanwhile glancing
down beautiful Frost avenue, and on
down in front of the massive school
buildings—county and State, to the
completion of the circle !
If Frostburg were like Eckhart or
Borden Shaft, where all of both places
can be seen by passing through, no
body would want a Belt Line.
Within the corporate limits of Frost
burg there are 6,028 people, yet it is
safe to affirm that not more than 1,000
of them are immediately accommo
dated by the electric railway.
To these at least 2,000 would be
added by building the Belt Line.
LONACONING.
In a letter to the Baltimore Sun last
Sunday Duncan R. Sloan, of Lonacon
ing, gives as one of the translations
of that town’s name “where waters
meet.”
About 41 years ago the Journai,
spent an evening in Lonaconing in a
group comprising Dr. G. Fllis Porter,
Alexander Sloan, John Douglas, Mal
colm Sinclair, John S. Combs and
others, when this matter was dis
cussed.
Dr. Porter seemed best “posted”
and gave excellent reasons for render
ing “Lonaconing” as “Where Many
Waters Meet.”
“The Indian name, however, was
“Lonacona,” the latter name—“Lona
coning,” being a careless elaboration,
if not an improvement, by the first
American settlers.
Mr. Sloan’s citation of the unusual
fact that six streams merge here gives
color to the logic of “many waters” as
the more liberal translation of a pretty
scene as the Indians saw it.

The Fire Department.
As heretofore stated in these
columns—
The Firemen of Frostburg will hold
a Fair and Festival in Stern’s Hall,
beginning Saturday, December 21,
1912, and closing Wednesday, Janu
ary 1, 1913.
The object of this Fair is—to raise
some money for the purchase of one,
or possibly two auto-reels—for the
better protection of life and property.
The members of the committee are
working hard devising ways and means
to make this affair a success.
They will have dancing, refresh
ments, fancy tables, and everything
that usually interests the patrons of
their social functions.
They hope and expect to enjoy the
patronage of every citizen who has the
good of the old town at heart.
It is a fact, of course, that there
will be many places to go and much to
occupy the mind of everyone during
this merry holidaj’-time.
Yet an evening given the Firemen
will be well spent, for then you will
be sure to have helped along a good
cause —one that means much to the
betterment of each citizen’s safety,
no matter how great or how humble
his station in life may be.
So, now, before your program has
been entirely made up, be sure to
spend a little time with the Firemen
at their Fair in Stern’s Hall during |
holiday week.

Plea For The Firemen.
, Frostburg, Md., Dec. 4, 1912.
: To the Mining Journai,.
Seeing in the Journai, last week
: this lesson —“take care of the Firemen
when there is no fire, and the Firemen
■ will take care of you when there is a
fire,” I want to tell you of one of my
house-keeping experiences.
One night my husband—a miner,
had to work, leaving me and our three
children alone. We went to bed. The
• two boys fell to sleep at once, but the
i girl—the baby of the family, called to
> me just as I was dropping into a doze —
“Mama, I smell smoke !”
In the next moment I heard from the
outside a shout—
: “Fire!”
i Well, to make this story short, the
Firemen came and —saved the house!
i At least, the damage to the house
■ amounted to the spoil of several shin
: gles pinned to the rafter near “a de
fective flue.”
The house was insured; our furni
■ ture was not, and the water played
havoc with it, especially the bedding.
i The landlord, who lost nothing,
seemed to blame me for the inconven
i ience and discomfort to which the fire
had subjected him.
But I was so glad that it turned out
i no worse ; —so glad the Firemen came,
■ and so quickly. With only $7 in the
■ house, I offered one of the company
whom I knew $5 for the treasury, but
' he wouldn’t take it. Said something
' like “our memory of our good deeds
is our reward.”
All this happened a long time ago,
and I write it now in gratitude because
■ I see that the Firemen are going to
1 hold a fair during the holidays, and I
really believe the people can do noth
ing better during that sacred season
: than help them to get the things they
want to increase their efficiency, es
pecially to keep them together as a
working, wide-awake body, standing
guard over both property and life.
A Woman.
P. S I would suggest that they
use in their advertising the Journal’s
injunction—
“ Take Care of the Firemen when
there is no fire, and The Firemen Wit!
Take Care of You when there is a fire. ”

Slightly Emancipated.
The new Child Labor Law, enacted
by the last Legislature, went into ef
fect Monday.
In employment of the Consolidation
Coal Company 164 boys were affected.
Of these 40, between 16 and 18 years
old, were transferred from work close
to machinery to digging coal, and 124,
under 16 years old, were discharged.
The law is wide-reaching, and it is
probable three things will happen—
1, Increased school attendance; —
2, A greater demand for labor, and —
3, Financial embarrassments in
some families—perhaps.
Money—One Thing Needed.
Journai,—My, my, but we wish we
were rich! We would go to the Ber
mudas, too!
Philip Hohing—So would I—if I
could go all the way in an electric car!
Edward Donohue —Nary time; I’d
take an automobile for mine!
Thomas Bond—Aw, what ye’re talk
ing about? If I had the money I’d go
if I had to walk!
True As Gospel.
In a recent address Prof. Royal
Meeker, of Princeton University,
said—
“ Laws forbidding teachers to ad
minister corporal punishment are un
wise.
“A potential whipping is a mighty
force for moral uplift.
“The person who cannot be trusted
with the authority to whip is not fit to
be a teacher.
“If our boys and girls were thrashed
once in a while for their bad deport
ment in school, there would be less
incapacity, pauperism, crime and in
sanity when a young man or woman
starts out on life’s journey.”
A Call That Should Be Heeded.
“The Firemen of Frostburg are
making preparations for a Fair and
Festival in Stern’s Hall during the
holidays, and they need the assist
ance of everyone in town, expecially
the assistance of the ladies.
“The Committee will hold a special
meeting in their Chamber, Town Hall,
next Monday evening, 9th inst., at 7%
o’clock, and extends an invitation to
all the ladies of Frostburg to come to
that meeting and help make this affair
a success.
“This invitation is a broad one; it is
as ‘wide as the earth and as warm as
the sun.’
“It is extended to you who live in
the mansion as well as to you who re
side in the cottage.
“It is to your material interest as
much as it is a stimulus to the Fire
men’s pride.
“So, it is hoped that the crowd will
be a big one, and the interest so mani
fest that the Firemen will be assured j
|of success.” I
Elks Memorial. 1
The program of exercises by the
Frostburg Lodge of Elks was ren
dered to the letter last Sunday even- ■
ing in Frostburg Opera House to as
many people as the auditorium will
hold.
The stage arrangement was a repli
ca of the lodge-hall as nearly as the
space and environment would permit.
The Exalted Ruler —Prof. Olin R.
Rice, presided, flanked by Duncan E.
Shaffer, secretary, and Peter Lam
mert, treasurer, while Upton B. F.
Edwards, chairman of the Memorial
Committee, and Frank C. Ort, Es
teemed Loyal Knight, held the chairs
in front.
The decorations, too, suggested the
Elks’ home, and the membership, oc
cupying the middle floor, betokened a
full attendance.
After all had sung “Nearer, My
God, to Thee,” Rev. D. H. Martin, D.
D., invoked the Divine Blessing.
Miss Evelyn Benson, soprano, sang
with much force and elegance the pre
lude from “A Cycle of Life,” and later
she appeared with Miss Elsie Dando,
alto; Andrew Speir and G. Dud. Hock
ing, tenor; and Walter M. McLuckie,
bass, in a sextette rendition of “What
From Vengeance”—an accomplish
ment which impressed the audience
profoundly.
In the instrumental features, too,
the memorial proprieties were touch
ingly observed by the orchestra, Prof.
George N. Beall, director.
For the vocal numbers Miss Nell
Betz was piano accompanist.
The culminating appearance of the
occasion, however, was that of Folger
McKinsey, “Bentztown Bard” of the
Baltimore Sun, who, in an eloquent
address of just the right length, paid
beautiful tribute to the memory of
those gone before. His range of topics
was wide, comprising fluent and im
pressive observations of life, char
acter, and immortality, as practice
and faith in these are reflected in the
Order’s fraternal professions and
principles.
Mr. McKinsey concluded his address
on Character and the other cardinal
principles of the Order by saying that
“any consideration of death must de
pend upon our attitude toward life—
whether that be bright and cheerful,
or gloomy and hopeless. Robert G.
Ingersoll stood some years ago by the
grave of his own brother, and above
the ashes of one of his own family who
had gone down to ‘the dreamless si
lence of the tongueless dust, he said of
life that it is ‘a narrow vale between
the cold and barren peaks of two
eternities.’
“Let us refute this pessimism with
fidelity to the orthodox conception of
life as a wide and fertile plain, bound
on the far horizon by the blue waters
of the sparkling seas, traversed by
winding rivers, refreshed by singing
brooks and babbling cascades hid
amid the green silence of the sylvan
fastnesses ; with thousands of warb
ling birds living their free life in the
unmolested forests; hillsides dotted
with fruited orchards ; the voices of
happy children ringing through the
woodbine lanes; figures in the young
morning of romance trusting each
other beneath the quiet stars; the
aged in their shaded doorways smok
ing the pipe of peace ; the steel ribbon
of railroads binding the plains and
seas ; enterprise and industry toiling
together for the mutual welfare of
mankind ; music and dancing, sunlight
and laughter, sowing and reaping,
and throughout all time and space the
enduring spirit of human hopefulness,
brotherhood and knightly chivalry
making the living world a concourse
of bright and holy friendship linked
in fraternal faith and fidelity.
“And then behold—rising on a broad
plateau, fairer than any other spot on
this fair and fertile plain—not the cold
and barren peaks of two eternities, but
the House of Life, founded upon the
everlasting rock of Character, with
Optimism, Kindness, Friendship—Hu
man Sympathies forming the super
structure, tendrils of imperishable
shrubbery clambering over its tall
towers and minarets, glad children
leaning from its windows to challenge :
the gladness of the children in the
street below —a House by the Side of
the Road, where men may live and be
friends to Man. On its tallest peak
faith has erected a cross, and by the
side of the cross national loyalty has
lifted the flag, seen afar of all men ;
and of all races as the symbols of our i
national unity and family character.
“Let us be men of vision to see the :
sentiment and significance of this :
splendid structure as it catches upon
its tall and graceful spires and peaks 1
the glowing sunshine of the cloudless <
day—men with the light of morning on
our faces and with the reason and the i
faculty Divine to realize that this i
house, this heart of life—the Home, is i
the temple of our liberties and the ;
sanctuary of all that is holy and en
during in the life of our people. ;
“Let us take our part worthily in the
building of this structure, that we may 1
make ourselves worthy to follow those <
who have gone before us ; that we may
toil and trust as they would have us ’
do; love and dream, and smile and !
sing; suffer and be strong, as they i
would have us do and be. <
“Inspired by the example of the 1
dead, let us determine to do our duty 1
to the living in such manner as to ren- i
der us worthy of the Divine judgment ]
—‘Well done, thou good and faithful 1
servant!’ as we feel these Brothers 1
were worthy of it who have entered j
into the kingdom of God. <
“Upon these hearts that rest in death
to-night
God lays the roses of immortal light. 1
Help us, O Father, to be worthier men, 1
By giving back our help to help again— <
]On every wayside and in every door— i
j Life’s grief and pain, that Need may j i
I come no more ;
But Beauty, Truth, Benevolence shall
rise
To brighten over us the bending skies,
And bring us nearer to that perfect
Whole
Of the immortal and unconquered
Soul; —.
That through these dead we see Death
—not as one
Who comes to claim us ere our work
be done,
But as the Comrade, Helper, Brother,
Healer,
And, more than all—the Great, Divine
Revealer ! ’ ’
The address was unanimously and
warmly commended, especially by
members of the Order, who feel that
it was an elegant and winning pre
sentation of the benevolently fraternal
character and purpose of their insti
tution.
With the pronouncement of the
benediction by Rev. G. E. Metger, the
audience dispersed.
The numbers of the program were
secured and arranged by the Memorial
Committee, comprising—
U. B. F. Edwards, Chairman
W. H. DeNeen G. Dud. Hocking

Alfred Jeffries, Water Superintend
ent, reported expenditures as follows :
41 tons coal at pumping-station
@52.89 $118.49
Labor 72.67

Total $284.99
The supply of water in reservoir
was reckoned at 907,920 gallons —150
gallons for each man, woman and
child in Frostburg.
The Ordinance providing conditions
under which the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company may
operate in Frostburg was passed.
One of the provisions requires the
company to remove from Union street
all poles on which its wires are sus
pended, and after some talk over the
labor and time involved, it was agreed
that the company should have 18
months for this purpose.
Andrew McMannis appealed to
Council for some abatement of his
fine of sls on three cows found at
large and impounded. Council, how
ever, could not entertain the plea,
fearing the effect of thus setting a
precedent which might hereafter im
pair the force of the Ordinance.
A committee representing the Fire
Department requested Council to have
all fire-plugs overhauled and placed
in working order, and the, Water Su
perintendent was accordingly in
structed to carry out the Firemen’s
suggestion.
Two committees of citizens—one
led by James A. Ryan, of Wood street;
the other by Clayton Purnell, of West
Union street, appeared in behalf of
sewer extensions, but Council felt
compelled to defer compliance with
requests until a period more season
able—climatic and financial.
Elmer Lewis asked for and abtained
an additional light onFairview street. '
Charles S. Dillon asked for and ob
tained a water connection on North
Grant street.
One of the events of the meeting
was the presence of a number of
Bowery-street property-owners, carry
ing a petition of protest against the
enterprise of paving that street until
the Cumberland and Westernport Elec-
trie Railway Company became suf
ficiently public-spirited to build the
Belt Line. The property-owners want
both these improvements, but they be
lieve that both should be made to- i
gether—in the interest of mutual
economy on part of town and company.
During the conference on this sub
ject it was proposed that Council seek
the friendly intercession of the State \
Utilities Commission to induce the
Company to build the Belt Line.
The matter, however, was laid on
the table for future consideration. j
Adjourned. |
Ail Enjoyable Occasion.
The evening' before Thanksgiving
the clerical and sales employees of The
Hitchins Brothers Company enjoyed
one of the quarterly dances provided
by the company, and the occasion is
reported as one of the most distinctive
ly pleasant ever projected in Frost
burg.
George G. Jeffries led in the ar
rangements and he surely laid out a
programme, which, materialized in
performance, was a great success.
New features comprised “favor
dances,” wherein “luck” largely
dominated in the discovery of partners
and the spring of surprises. These
comprised natural carnations in pink
and-white for ladies, and vari-colored
crysanthemums for gentlemen; also
Jack-in-the-box, supple-jack, hats,
surprise prize-packages, and horns
concealed in paper roses.
It was nearly 12, midnight, when a
halt was called upon merriment for
the service of a profuse, though ele
gant luncheon of Thanksgiving tur
key, ham, peanut and cheese sand
wiches, sweet pickles, olives, home
made ice-cream and cakes, coffee and
salted almonds —all served by J. Wes
ley Jackson under the tasteful pro
jection and direction of Mrs. W.
Arthur Hitchins.
At 2 a. m. the function adjourned.
Beall’s orchestra provided the music,
and the patronesses are recorded as
Mesdames W. A. Hitchins, E. G.
Hitchins, M. H. Hitchins, W. E. G.
Hitchins, J. H. Hitchins, James J.
Hitchins, W. P. Sullivan, U. B. F.
Edwards, Robert H. Pascoe, Harry S.
Keller and Otto Hohing, jr.
Misses Elizabeth and Alice Hitch
ins led the grand march with great
eclat.
Deaths.
In Pittsburg, Kansas, Tuesday, No
vember 26, 1912, Mr. Robert Walsh,
aged 30 years, formerly of this place.
Mrs. Robert Walsh, mother of de
ceased, attended him several weeks
before death—the result of typhoid
fever. Others bereaved are the
widow, one daughter, one son, and
five sisters, among the latter Mrs.
Thomas Campbell and Mrs. William
Kirby, of Eckhart, and Miss Helen
Walsh, of this place.
Silver Wedding.
Friday, November 29th, was the 25th
anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and
Mrs. George Wagner, of Grahamton,
and a gay party of ladies and gentle
men surprised them by attendance en
masque. To illustrate the occasion a
mock wedding was held, and “Aleck”
and “Nick” Hocking playing the great
‘.‘March” from “Eohengrin.” About
40 neighbors and friends helped to
make the occasion most delightful.
