FROM SPIRIT SUBSCRIBERS.
People Who Show the Proper Spirit—-What They
Say When They Pay.
The Spirit is receiving- quite a num
ber of remittances for subscriptions
since its initial number was mailed
out, last week, and many of them are
accompanied by letters containing
words of encouragement and good
cheer. These kindly expressions are
doing the publisher much good while
trying to build up a good newspaper
and get acquainted with his constitu
ency, and they are in marked contrast
with the utter lack of cordiality and
good will shown to the publisher by a
few people who have been the recip
ients of considerable of his cash dur
ing the past few months. Some peo
ple would rather be ingrates, knock
ers and boors for nothing than to lend
a helping hand, or extend cordiality
and common courtesy to a deserving
enterprise, even at no cost to them or
for remuneration offered. Happily,
however, the ingrates and discour
teous “insects” are in the minority,
and we shall try to get along without
their cordiality and good will, the
chances being that the influence of
that class wouldn’t be of any good to
The Spirit at best.
Beleiving that some of the expres
sions of good will, appreciation, etc.,
that have been coming with remit
tances for the new paper will prove of
interest to some of our readers, we re
produce some of them.
He Likes Our Salutatory.
Marshal J. Bivengood, the well
known painter, decorator and contract
or, of Meyersdale, writes as follows:
“Enclosed find check for 51.25 for a
year’s subscription to The Frostburg
Spirit. I like your salutatory very much,
and wish you success in your latest
venture.”
Marshall J. Livengood needs no in
troduction to the people of Frostburg,
as he has done much work in his line,
especially carriage painting, for peo
ple here in Frostburg. He and his fa
ther, Jer. J. Bivengood, of Salisbury,
and his brother, S. B. Bivengood, of
same place, have also built and re
built many vehicles for Frostburgers.
Robt. P. Mason, of Baltimore: sends
his check for $1.25, accompanied by
the following information:
“I was a subscriber to the Journal
and think that paper owed me some
thing. If you are going to fill that
out, just tack this year’s subscription
to the end of that. lam an old Frost
burger, and 30 years ago you could
not throw a stone in any direction in
Windber, Pa., then called Scalp Bevel,
without knocking down some of my
relatives. But I have not been there
since the Johnstown flood, so I reck
on it is some changed.”
Robt. P. Mason Heard From.
Yes, Mr. Mason, you are right
itbout it being some changed. But
Windber was never called Scalp
Bevel. Thirty years ago you could
not have thrown a stone in Windber,
for the town was not then in existence.
Windber, now a thriving town of ten
to twelve thousand people, was start
ed in the heart of a howling wilder
ness, near Scalp Bevel, only sixteen
years ago. Scalp Bevel is still known
by that name, and is now a town of
about 1,800 inhabitants. Windber,
Scalp Bevel and Paint Borough, are,
however, practically all the same town,
being built almost solidly together,
but under three separate corporations.
Paint Borough has about 1,000 inhab
itants, and, with Windber, is in Som
erset county, while Scalp Bevel is just
across the line in Cambria county.
There are still some Masons in that
vicinity, doubtless kin of yours, and
they’re the finest kind of people.
In a letter from C. B. Ryan, of
Bogota, N. J., we find a dollar en
closed, and that gentleman, in ad
dition to sending us good wishes and
saying that the best is none too good
for Frostburg or Frostburgers, en
closes the following very clever and
appropriate rhyme:
Greetings, Pete, old boy, we’re with
you
Strong, without alloy. Here’s to you!
Bet The Spirit speak, and truly,
Evil noses tweak, yet ruly.
Just keep your colors flying true.
If you’re; for Frostburg, were for
you.
And we’ll support you, sure thing,
“bo,”
Although we still love J. B. O.
We loved The Journal, loved it well,
And felt its loss more’n we can tell.
So rise up Spirit, take its place,
And may you run as long a race.
The mountain air will do you good,
Town folks won’t let you want for
food,
And though you may, in lieu of cash,
Be tendered a big mountain squash,
Accept it with good will, b’gosh!
For spirits do not spirits quash.
Greetings, Pete, old boy, we’re with
you
Strong, without alloy. Here’s to you!
Just'keep your colors flying true.
If you’re for Frostburg, we’re for
you.
Mr. Ryan is a poet of good ability
and the best of sentiment, and he can
relj r on it that we’re for Frostburg,
first, last and all the time. Some peo
ple who reside here however, are not,
we are sorry to say. They’d rather
root for Cumberland and knock their
own community. But every com
munity has its share of knockers. Mr.
Ryan is employed in the Claim depart
ment of the New York Railways Com
pany. He formerly resided here, but
left Frostburg probably a score of
years ago. We are glad to note that
he still has the Frostburg spirit and is
willing to pay for more of it. Well,
it’s a good thing to have, and Mr.
Ryan is invited to write again for
these columns.
Jim Begley Also Heard From.
James C. Begley, of Reitz, Pa., is
another subscriber who sends greet
ings. He writes as follow:
“Dear Old Pete: —Permit me to con
gratulate you on the initial number of
The Spirit. It is surely a hummer.
More power to you. Place my name
on your list at once. I must read
your spicy editorials and news nug
gets, or I am all in. Have missed
them ever since you left Windber.”
From Sunny Florida.
M. A. Chambers, of Warrington,
Fla., fires this at us:
“Enclosed find check to pay for a
subscription to your new paper. I
have always been a subscriber to the
Mining Journal, and my relatives
mostly live in and around Frostburg.
I naturally have a warm and tender
feeling for your paper, and already
greet you as a friend.
So Interested While Reading First
Number that He Got on Wrong Car.
John H. Yost, formerly a Garrett
county, Md., boy, but now a promi
nent and influential citizen and busi
nessman of Roanoke, Va., sends us
a check for a year’s subscription, ac
companied by the following:
“I received copy of your new paper
and read with interest ‘The First Epis
tle of Peter to the Frostburgers.’ To
tell you how much I was enthused
over this, I actually was reading it on
the street corner while waiting for a
car, and stepped on the wrong car and
rode up the city two or three blocks in
the wrong direction, before I knew
what I was doing. So you see I was
very much impressed. I wish you
much success in your new venture
and send kind regards to you and
family.”
MT. SAVAGE MUCH IN VIEW.
Little City in the Valley Follows
Western Maryland Passengers
a Long Way.
A city that is set upon a hill can
not be hid. Neither can one that is
set down in some valleys. The city of
Mt. Savage, nestled at the base of the
mountain of the same name, is pecu
liar in this respect. Surrounded by
hills and mountains, the little city
famous for its iron and fireclay in
dustries seems sequestered far be
yond the ken of the outside world.
But yet rt may be viewed from many
angles. Charming vistas lead to it
from many directions. Especially
since the Western Maryland Railroad
has been built has Mt. Savage town
been brought into prominent notice.
The new railway does not pass through
it, but winds around about it at a dis
tance of several miles.
To passengers on trains emerging
from Big Savage tunnel eastbound,
Mt. Savage town looms in view far
down the valley, set like a gem in a
diadem of most entrancing views.
As the train glides down the mountain
side, winding round dips and spurs of
the mountain in sweeping curves, on
past Frostburg and Allegany Grove
toward the famous Cumberland Nar
rows, the little city of Mt. Savage
keeps bobbing in and out of view and
can be seen at one time or another
from nearly every point of the com
pass.
A short time ago a Western Mary
land Railroad official was passing east
ward over the line on one of the re
gular day passenger trains. Emerg
ing from the big tunnel, this official
was struck by the grandeur of the
view down toward Cumberland Nar
rows. Noting the city of Mt. Savage
nestled in the vale below his moving
viewpoint, he inquired of the brake
man:
“What town is that?”
“That,” replied the brakeman, “is
Mt. Savage where the first steel rails
made in the United States were roll
ed.”
“Quite interesting,” quoth the rail
road magnate. “Does this road pass
through it?”
“No, sir. Although it is a ’way-up
place, it is too low down to be touched
by our line. The road had to climb
up the surrounding hillsides in order
to reach the summit of the mountain,
so the town of Mt. Savage was missed
by several hundred yards.”
By this time the train had swept
around a curve and the town was lost
to view, but presently it swung back
around a reverse curve, and the little
city was seen from a different angle.
“What’s the name of that place?”
asked the inquistive traveler.
“Mt. Savage,” was the brakeman’s
laconic reply.
“What, Mt. Savage again? I
thought we passed that place a little
while ago,” said the interrogator.
“We did, have come back to
it again, that’s all,” explained the
brakeman.
Again the scene shifted and the
town disappeared from view, only to
reappear again a few minutes later.
“Brakeman, what do you call that
town yonder?” was the next question.
“Mt. Savage,” was the terse reply.
“Well, say, how much longer is that
pesky place going to follow us around?”
By this time Frostburg, the city set
upon a hill, and which is almost hid
from the view of passengers on the
W. M., hove in sight.
“And is that place up there called
Mt. Savage, too?” asked the tourist.
“No, that’s good old Frostburg, old
Frostburg on the Pike, biggest town
between Cumberland and Connells
ville, where all Western Maryland
trains stop,” the brakeman did reply.
This satisfied the inquisitive stran
ger until the train pulled out from
Frostburg, headed on toward the Nar-
TWO VERY YOUNG OLD FOLKS.
Veteran Hotel-Keeper and Wife Visit Frostburg—
In Business here in 1884.

DENNIS WAGNER.
The above portraits are excellent
likenesses of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis
Wagner, of Salisbury, Pa., who re
cently visited Frostburg in company
with their son-in-law and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Riley, of West
Salisbury. The party made the trip
in an automobile, with Earl Statler, a
popular Salisbury automobilist at the
wheel, and they registered at the St.
Cloud Hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. Wagner have conduct
ed hotels themselves, in various places,
in years past. In 1884 they conducted
the old Grand Central House, in this
city. Their recent visit here was to
renew old acquaintances and once
more take a look at the old house
which under their efficient manage
ment was a very popular hostelrie.
They found the old house entirely
remodeled and used as store room and
residence by Jonas Durst, manager of
the Frostburg Furniture and Under
taking Company. Therefore, the old
place did not look very familiar to
them. Nevertheless, Mr. and Mrs.
Wagner greatly enjoyed the trip to
this, their former home, Mr. Wagner
declaring that to him it was the most
enjoyable trip of his life.
The happy party met quite a num
ber of their old friends and acquaint
ances while here, and, of course, called
on the editor and family, who for
some years were among the nearest
neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Wagner,
at Salisbury. The visit was greatly
enjoyed, and the editor and family can
truly say that they never had better
neighbors than Mr. and Mrs. Dennis
Wagner, who are among the youngest
old people to be found anywhere.
Mr. Wagner is a veteran of the Civil
War, now 71 [years old, but still as
supple as a cat and as young as most
men of fifty. His faithful wife is a
year or two his senior, but is also very
well preserved, and like her husband,
can be classed as a very young old
person. Both are interesting charac
ters and are held in high esteem by
their large circle of acquaintances.
As a hotel man, Mr. Wagner is
widely known by the men of his gen
eration who still reside in Allegany
and Garrett counties, Md., and Somer
set county, Pa. For years he con
rows, when a good sized town with
smoking furnace stacks burst in view
in the offing toward the northwest.
“Say, brakeman, that looks like some
good industrial town over there. It
ain’t possible that we are near Cum
berland already or doubling back on
Frostburg, what?”
“No, that’s only Mt. Savage.”
“You’re stringing me, young fellow,
ain’t you? I’ll be darned if I can be
lieve that three-fourths of the towns
along this line of road are named Mt.
Savage.”
Veteran Soldier and Railroader
Visits Frostburg.
B. Beckman, of Romney, W. Va.,
was renewing old acquaintance in
Frostburg, last week, being the guest
of Mr. and Mrs. John Yungerman for
a day or two. Mr. Beckman is not only
a vetern of the Civil War, but is also
a veteran railroader, having been in
the employ of the B. & O. Railroad
Campany for 43 years. During the
great rebellion he was a prisoner of
war six months in Bibby and Castle
Thunder prisons.
Mr. Beckman was a resident of
Frostburg 29 years ago. His wife is
a daughter of John Racy, an old-time
Frostburger, whom the older citizens
doubtless remember. Before leaving
for his home, the jolly old veteran
called at The Spirit office and enroll
ed as a subscriber to this paper, pay
in advance for the same.
Subscribe for The Spirit for your
absent friends. It will seem as good
to them as a weekly letter from home.

An Editorial Visit.
W. S. Bivengood, editor and owner
of the Meyersdale Republican, spent
a few hours in this city on Tuesday,
as the guest of his brother, the editor
of this paper. The visiting brother
reported business booming at his es
tablishment, as is always the case.
The people of Meyersdale have always
been very loyal to their newspapers,
and that is why that town has been
supporting two good weeklies for
many years. There is no rooting for
outside newspapers in Meyersdale,
and the businessmen there, almost to
a man, get their printing done at
home, as they should. Businessmen
who are not loyal to worthy home
industries, deserve no support from
their home people.
THE FROSTBURG SPIRIT, FROSTBURG, MD.
. i.; .•
MRS. DENNIS WAGNER.
ducted a large three-story hotel at
Salisbury, which was destroyed by
fire about the year 1885. He conduct
ed that house when Salisbury was a
“wild and woolly” community, during
the days when the Salisbury railroad
was graded and at the time the Piney
Run lumber camps flourished. Gangs
of fighting men also flourished during
those days, and occasionally some of
them would undertake to do some
“house-cleaning” at Mr. Wagner’s
hotel, because he would not allow
them to abuse the drinking privilege
at his tar.
Many a big bruiser undertook to
“trim” the pluckey landlord, who was
never a large man, but if any of them
ever succeeded, no one ever heard of
it, for Dennis Wagner, in those days,
was a man who could not only whip
his weight in wildcats, but also in
catamounts and panthers. However,
he never resorted to fighting, except
in defense of his honor and his
rights. His natural bent was always
to be peaceable, obliging and kind.
To all the boys in Salisbury he is
known as “grandpa,” and to each and
all he is a friend and chum; for the
reason, he says, that he used to
be a boy himself.
The editor has two young sons
who still get very lonesome for
“Grandpa” Wagner, though they have
been away from Salisbury for more
than three years. And why shouldn’t
they get lonesome for him, knowing
how often he repaired their wagons,
sleds, and other playthings, to say
nothing of the many other kind
nesses and courtesies he has shown
them? Anyway, inasmuch as the
lads have no real grandfather living,
and never saw their grandfathers
they have a right to some other grand
father, and Mr. Wagner just suits
them all over. They’d fight for
“Grandpa” Wagner, if necessary, and
there’s no reason why they shouldn’t.

POLITICS WARMING UP.
Federation of Protestant Societies
of Allegany County Taking a
hand in the game.
Politics are warming up in this
county since the various political par
ties have made their nominations.
The Federation of Protestant Socie
ties of Allegany county is evidently
making preparations to take a hand in
the game, judging from the following
list of
Questions to Legislative
Candidates.
1. Do you favor the reading of the
Holy Bible in the public schools? If
so, will you favor the passage of legis
lation to that effect?
2. Will you vote against the appro
priation of public money for use of
sectarian institutions, and if required,
will you introduce and fight for legis
lation looking for the establishment
of such appropriation?
3. Will you support legislation pro
viding for the public inspection of all
asylums, industrial schools, convents,
Houses of Good Shepherd, hospitals,
and other institutions of a public or
semi-public nature?
4. Will you support legislation pro
viding for the taxation of all church
property?
These questions will be put to all
legislative candidates by means of
circular letters which state that can
didates refusing to answer them be
fore October Ist, 1913, will be consid
ered as opposed to the suggested
legislation, and will be treated as
such. The letters request that an
swers be sent to J. W. Sterry, No. 8
Hill street, Frostburg.
Poor old candidates! What will
they say?—or will they say nothing?
Doubtless some of them will regard
the whole matter as a case of “be
damned if you do and be damned if
you don’t,” causing them to feel like
the fellow “between the devil and the
deep sea.” But such is politics, and
the fellow who goes after public office
finds much to harrass and annoy him.
No matter what he promises or does,
or what he does not promise or do, he
is liberally criticised and condemned,
just the same. Poor old candidates!
You can’t send an absent friend a
more desirable present than a copy of
the handsomely illustrated Frost
burg Souvenir Book for sale at The
Spirit office, unless you make the
friend a present of a year’s subscrip
tion to The Spirit. Both are worth
several times their cost. tf.
| THE CUB’S COLUMN. \
* Little Editorials and News Items *
f by the Junior Editor—W. S. t
J Livengood, Jr., aged 13. I
I was 13 years old Sept. Bth, and so
far as I know, am the youngest editor
in the world. My father has given me
a column to edit in my own way, so
as to learn how to write for the public.
I always try to make friends wher
ever I go, and I like about all of the
Frostburg boys that I have so far
learned to know. lamina boy base
ball team called the Frostburg Red
Sox. It is a pretty good team, having
won three out of four games. The
first game was won from the Linden
Street Stars, the score being 9 to 4.
The next three games were played
with the Maple Street Stars. The
Red Sox lost in the first by a score of
7 to 8, but won the other two by scores
of 11 to 5 and Bto 7. I play First and
Second base.
I started to school on Monday. I
am in the Bth grade, and Miss Nellie
Powell is my teacher. I think I will
like the teacher and everyone else in
the room. The Beall High School
building is a good one, and I think I
will enjoy going to school there.
The baseball game on Sunday, be
tween Barton and Frostburg, was a
victory for Frostburg by a score of
11 to 4. Frostburg played a good
game behind Allen, Barton securing
only four safe hits from his delivery,
while Frostburg straightened out
Dyes, getting the Barton southpaw’s
fast ones for eleven safe hits. The bat
tery for Frostburg was Allen and
Ryan. I can’t remember the Barton
catcher’s name, but I know he was
a good one. Frostburg is first in the
Georges Creek League, Midland sec
ond, Cumberland third, Piedmont
fouith and Barton last.

MILT RACE AT THE FAIR.
Wias Races, Buys Another Fine
Horse and is Highly Compliment
ed in Somerset County, Pa.
M. W. Race, the popular Frostburg
horse-dealer, spent last week at the
Meyersdale Fair, and made some deals
in horse-flesh. His handsome brown
gelding, Carlos, was entered for
several events, but owing to the races
being called off Friday afternoon, did
not get a chance to be numbered
among the “also rans,” except in the
warming up trot on Tuesday, when
the little high-stepper finished first in
one heat and third in three others.
Mr. Race annexed Stanley Liven

with in horses, judging- from what a
a man from near Friedens, Pa., said
to the editor of The Spirit last Friday,
while in Meyersdale. The Fridens
man had just enrolled his name for a
subscription to this paper, when he
espied Mr. Race and remarked that
the people of his locality “would
rather sell horses to Mr. Milt Race
than any other horse buyer they
know of.”
Peter H. Yost, one of the School
Commissioners of Garrett County, was
transacting business in Frostburg,
last Saturday. Mr. Yost resides about
three miles south of Grantsville and
is one of the leading farmers in that
locality. While in Frostburg, Mr. Yost
called at The Spirit office and express

primaries.
