THE ILLUSTRATIONS

which are introduced for the first time in
the present edition have been added not
for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to explanations
in the text. They embrace all branches of
science and of natural history, and depict
the most famous and remarkable features of
scenery, architecture, and art, as well as
the various processes of mechanics and
manufactures, Although intended for in
struction rather than Establishment, no
pains have been spared to insure their

APRoPos Of the hotel effort, it must
not be forgotten that we want bank.

ApRopos of the hotel effort, it must
not be forgotten that we want bank.
And if we succeed in establishing the
hotsl, the more need of the bank. The
inconvenience, trouble, expense and
risk, to which our business men are
daily subjected, are innumerable and
trenchant arguments for the institu-
ton of bank. If Mr.. Wineland
could have deposited his $765 in Frost
burg last Monday, Brown would not
have had the opportunity to disgrace
himself. But IS the situation exists,
merchants must trust the honor Of
travelling acquaintance or submit to
freight tariffs to get their money in
bank. Elsewhere in towns with very
much less business, the operation Of
bank deposits is the easiest and safest
feature of financial routine. But here
in Frostburg with our lifelessness we
naturally submit with lazy moneha-
lane; to the necessities forced by our
own improvidence. 1t is already pre-
dicted our hotel enterprise will amount
to nothing as consonant with the list
less, spiritless views we take of our
natural advantages.
However, we believe the hotel will
be secured, and then, probably, the
bank will follow. Therefore let there
be general and earnest work. We
need to imbibs the taste for public i'm
provsments, and we cannot begin too
soon. Besides, if the stories about the
early exhaustion Of the Big Vein and
Frostburgs consequent decadence, are
true, it behooves us to begin looking
to the development OF other resources
for the maintenance of our prestige
and real estate values. At any rate,
the hotel is necessity which appeals
to every citizen for aid.

HARD TIMRs.-All feel the strin-
gency more or less and are casting
about for the remedy. The vast ma
jority base a change for the better
upon some contingency to grow out
of the Presidential election, but how
far the crisis is open to administra-
tive relief is impossible to meaures,
for the reason that it is doubtful
whether all our troubles have ema-
mated from mal-administration. The
"short cut" to relief lies mainly
through the adoption and pursuit of
the homely old axiom-"live within
your income"

Sui al L.tto for Damages.


In tile trial of the ease of Timdsleus II.
Ganung against the Mayor. before Judge
Larremore, yesterday, a curious anecdote
OF Washington was preseated by Mr..
Stetson, Assistant Corporation Counsel.
The action was brought to recover daiua-
gees for raising the waters Of Lake Manopac
to sucl, a height ny 20 overflow the adj
joining lands and produce malarial fever,
with. which Mr.. .ianung ,was prostrated..
The thleto the property on the shore nf
the lake was traced back TO IG97. in that
year the King Of England, William III;
granted to one Adolph Philliise a large
tract OF land In tile then province OF New
York, including the present county Of
Putnam.
Tie property passed down through the
Phillipse family until The year l754, when
II was tile property OF Mary Philllpse,
who married Col. Rogers Morris. Mary
Phillipse was the young lady for whose
hand George Washington was suitor,
after his return from Braddock's expedi-
tion, but whose family were 50 strongly
royalist that Washington retired from the
suit. Naturally, on the breaking out Of
thereyolution, slie and her family es-
poused the cause OF the King, aud their
great pr perry was forfeited to the State
Of New York.
In 1881, the Commissioners of Forfei-
ture for III. State suli the land in ques-
tion toone William Smith. Subsequently
the heirs of Mary Morris claimed tile pro-
perty, and that claim came into the hands
OF John Jacob islor. Mr. Aslor, In lSU9,
obtained a decree In his favor, and the
State was compelled 10 pay him the sum
Of S5e9. 900 for a release, thus confirming
the,titlc in the purchasers from the estate.
Tile jury last evening gave the plaintiff a
Judgment. verdict Of six and one-quarter
cebts damages. L. Sun.

avenue leading to the Judges Hall, whilc

intersection of avenues are turfed aud

The Exhibition grounds comprise al

It is impossible to do more in the first
