IHE funeral sermon delivered by
Rev. V. F. Schmitt upon the death Of
Mrs. Catharine Frost, besides being
an eloquent enlogy Of the life and
character of herself and husband, con-
tanned interesting and important ref
erences to the history of Frostburg.
He said in substance that on the Goth
of June, 1872, more than sixty-four
years, ago, this couple, then just mar
ried, took up their residence on the
spot now occupied by the st. Mich
ael's Church property. This section
was then a wilderness, but by in
dustry and economy they succeeded
in rearing home and clearing farm.
AS time went on other settlers locat-
ed around them, the burg growing
slowly all the while. In lS45 Mr..
Frost opened the first mine, known
now as the Frost mine, from which
period dates the prosperity and wealth
of the region. He had heard Mrs.
Frost say she "baked the first loaf of
bread made in Frostburg;;" from this
small beginning in a little cabin on
this plateau, behold how the village
has grown into the "city set on a
hill" Her identity as pioneer
member of the Catholic Church was
likened to the planting Of the cross on
the continent by Catholic Columbus
and in Maryland by a Catholic Car
roll. To her, as to them, we owe a
debt of gratitude, and to the honored
memory of her husband whose remains
we to-day place in the same grave
side by side to rest amid the scenes of
their first labors. 1t is due to them as
the two persons most distinguished in
the history of Frostburg.
Mrs. Frost was lady Of many and
most excellent qualities; loving wife
a gentle mother, and devoted child
of the church. With her noble hus-
band she passed her happiest hours
under roof their toll had won, and
with him she rests at last on the very
spot where first they sat out together.

Building at the Centennial Exposition
will not bc torn down after Novemb Der

permanent exhibition purposes. A re-
quest of this kind from prominent citi-
zeps Of Philadelphia was recently made
TO the FairmOunt Park Commission, but
was refused. 4 conference committee
has, however, since been allowed. il is
believed, will reconsider its delerm ina.
ton. The building Is excolIently suited
for the purpose intended, much better

was al first proposed. 1t is strong, and

governments have expressed their will

aud some foreign exhibitors will even

George +. inthony Win. Another Victory.

1t was announced in the Leavenworth
Times IN "a fourishing, gushing, double
headed editorial the other day that ID. Il.
Anthony would "ehaw up Geo. L. the
Republican candidate for governor at q
meeting in Leavenworth that he had
been east to Capt. Ahthony's old home,
and had returned with few cart loads
of affidayits, and additional startling ey-
idence against the Republican candidate.
Geo. t. was, with u triumphant air, 10
vited TO be present, where he would have
an opportunity to defend himself Well,
the evening came, the hail was full,
about | 900 persons being present. ID.
K. Anthony spoke two or three hours.
Geo. L. had left some OF his appoint
ments in the country TO be present Ii
is stated by correspondents who were
present that nothing new was contained
in ID, RS charges But the most sur
prising and outrageous thing about the
affair was, that after inviting the candi-
date tor governor to be present, the ed
itor of tho Times refused 10 allow him
to speak in answer TO the charges, he
having possession of the ball. The re-
result was that at "a late hour, Geo. T..
Anthony and his friends, about two
thirds OF the audience, withdrew to the
opera house, where the latter named
gentlemen made brief speach and the
audience passed resolution fully en-
dorsing him. Such q course on the part
of his enimies will do our candidate Cor
Governor much good with the people.
The animus and untairness of the fight
on him is too plain. The people of Kan
sas believe in fair play. This Leaven-
worth meeting has made thousands of
votes for Mr.. Anthcny throughout the

4 Word or Warning.

fTOln The Topeka commonwealth.
So far as the State ticket and electoral
vote OF Kansas is concerned, the ques-
ton Is settled in favor OF the Republicans.
!, No candid men now but will agree that
the whole ticket will be elected by from
fifteen to twenty-five thousand maj GRITTY.
But there is no doubt about the com
rplcxion of the Legislature.
Unfortunately, perhaps for the Repub-
lican party, the State has been so over
whelmingly Republican in the past, that
individual Republicans have not felt that
there was n necessity for abiding by the
result OF party nominations. 1t man
was nominated for an office that an in
dIviduaI Republican did not like, and
another man was running a an "lnde-
pendent" candidate, whom he did like,
/ he would vote for the latter. When
taken TO task for not sticking TO the
nominee, the answer in many cases
would be, ooh, ii makes indifference, il
/ 4 few opposition members OF the Legs
lature are elected, there will be Repub-
/ lican majority large enough for all prac.
/ teal purposes" This has gone on to
such an extent that there is danger that
the next Legislature may be composed OF
material, which, under certain circum-
stances, Will not elect Republicn 10 The
United States Senate. The Democrats
profess to think that the election OF I'll
den is almost certainty. We do not
think so, but for the sake of the argument,
let u concede that Tiljen Is To be thensxt
President In looking over the State, 10
day, we see large number eff Rcpubii-
cans and Republican papers supporting
Independent or opposition candidates
for the Legislature. II the information
which we receive at this Office IS correct,
there IS probability that at least three
Fights Of the next Legislature will be
composed OF men not elected as Repub
licans. Unless Republicans generally
wake up TO the true condition Of affairs
there - danger that one bslfof the mem.
be-s of the next Legislature viii be men
who have been elected in part, AZ least, by
votes Of Democrats and others opposed
to the Republican party. Ia our igdg
meut, ii Republicans do not o; oEce con
centrate their strength upon the regular
iy nominated Republican candidates
there j. much more danger Of John Mar
tia being elected 10 succeed Govenor

on his family for all time to come for the
petty some Of 5000, or thereabout.
Honest people, jus. as honest, if not
more so, than the Herald man, believe
that Judge Prescott tells the truth, when
he states that an error was committed
by him the management of the estate.
We have the highest regard for Mr.
Carver, Judge Prescott's opponent. We
cannot believe that Mr.. Carver himself
thinks Judge Prescott to be the awful
scoundreI the Herald has suddenly found
him to be, and we believe further that
Mr.. Carver does not approve of the un-
bridled license recently taken by the
press to blacken his opponents charac-
Ter. Undoubtedly, too, Mr.. Carver
smiles when he reads the laadatory ar
ticles on himself in the Herald, and
thinks of the time when Hanna SO te-
naciously balanced "on the fence"
Our Lincoln county neighbors seem
to hold as high opinion of Judge Pres
colt as we do in Saline county. Read
the following extract from the Lincoln
Center Register:
At a meeting of the citizens of this
county at the court house, on Saturday
last, to hear the Judicial question dis
cussed, it was charged against Judge
Prescott that he, as administrator of the
estate of August Schuster deceased, at
tempted to defraud the estate out of
5000, and it seems there was an error OF
that amount in his favor in his settle
ment with the Probate Court of Saline
county, bat upon denomination of his
account in the same case, "a shown by o
transcript from the records Of that Of
fee, the estate is insolvent and indebted
to j. IL. Prescott as administrator OF
said estate in the sum of S22. so.
This puts different feature on the
I case altogether, and the Judge comes
out of it as he did in the bond charge,
clean-handed and vindicated. The fair
fame Of Judge Prescott is not so easily
furnished, and, like silver dollar the
more you rub it the brighter it shines.
