the expectation of establishing himself

The M. E. Sunday School will hold
a basket picnic in the grove adjoining
the old cemetery on Saturday, Sept.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DESERv
ING.-To any person who will bring
us One Hundred and IaUe,aty- Fsve
Nev Cash Subscribers TO the JOURNAL,
we will give a New Sewing Machine
worth One Hundred and Twenty-Five
Dollars.
SCHOOL OPENING.-Misses Kern's
School for Young Ladies and Little
Girls will open next Monday morning.
The prospects for improved attendance
are quite good, number of person
not hitherto patrons having signifed
purpose of sending, The ladies are
quite anxious the school should open
as fully as practicable, in order that
all may be duly classified and start
off together. 1t will be to the decid-
ed interest of parents and pupils to
avail themselves of this advantage.
An important feature has been re-
Gently added to the excellence and at
tractiveness of the school in the secure
ment of an accomplished elocutionist,
a graduate of the Western Female
High School of Baltimore. This pop
ular and exceedingly useful branch of
education is now within the reach of
all.
Another advantage offered the pub
lie consists in accommodations for
those pupils who do not desire to
take an entire course. Anyone wish
ing to pursue several studies, or a
single study, may do so at moderate
rates, the matter of hours being salts
factorily arranged.
Some misapprehension of the terms
of this school exists in the minds of
the public. Persons accustomed to
paying SIS per session think $40 too
high. But the fact is the $5-term was
10 weeks, while Misses Kern's term
is 20 weeks, which reduces the price
to no difference at all.
The school is named Wheeler Hall,
after Rev. DR.. Wheeler of Iowa,
friend of the ladies.
The TILDEN AND HENDRICKS
PoLE.-The democracy of Frostburg
and vicinity had an elephant on their
hands Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week in the erection of large
campaign pole. Announcement was
made last week calling the friends of
the party to meet on the ground at 10
a. m. Tuesday, which they did prompt
ly. The work began and went for
ward with the expectation of complet-
ing it during the afternoon, but when
the tug of hosting was reached things
generally became contrary. the pole
being particularly stubborn. After
various Intellectual devices the night
of Tuesday set in with the pole "at
half mast
Wednesday the "unterrifed" raj
lied again promptly to the brave re-
sumption Of pole-raising No ere
peals' this time but new plans were
projected as new necessities required,
and little by little the pole approach
ed perpendicular in response to unan-
imous pulling. About half-past five
o'clock in the afternoon it was clear to
the skeptical that the erection was a
success, and that, after all the bad
plans worked out slowly but certainly
1t is one of the curiosities of human
nature that at pole-raisings, as at
other immense crises of our history,
everybody seems to have been brought
up in the business specially in hand.
The trouble, however, with these pro-
LESSONS is that generally there is but
one way to raise pole, and every
mans training in that line is different
from every other mans. This pecul-
lar cosmopolitan characteristic should
not be accepted as evidence of the
unity of humanity except in the ode
cisive abstract" 1t is proof that it
takes all kinds of people to make a
world, and, by parity, all kinds to
raise pole, spectators included.
The pole is surmounted with tin
drum; this by broom, the democrat
