Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1881-04-02

ABOUT Two OF OUR TRADEsMEN.-
Several months ago Frank G. Beall
Esq, the proprietor of the Mammoth
Hardware and Stove House of Frost
burg, set up fer us one Of those mag
nlfcent Arlington Cook Stoves, o.
which he has told the world so much
through the JOURNAL. Hence, after
sufficient experience we are authorized
to say that for every purpose a cock
stove is designed to serve the Airing
ton is perfect. The highest accom-
plishment of the cuisine, in our hum
bic judgment, is to be found in bread
baking-certainly one in which selec-
tior of excellent materials and adap-
tations of each to all, of skil.ful
working and perfect bakins-combine
an art in itself. The failure of one
element to do its proper part is equal
to failure In all. A good, sure stove,
however, at the last end of the line,
is essential to proper preparations.
A bad stove would inspire no pre-
vicus special effort. Without elabo-
rating this notion We would say to
young men contemplating housekeep-
ing that a good stove is almost as in
dispensable to connubial happiness as
wife who knows how to uEe one.
An Arlington, and a pretty woman
to preside over it, go hand in hand
with Glove in cottage"
In referring to the change of Mr.
A. Loewenstein's advertisement, to
be found elsewhere, the JOURNAL is
constrained to include mention of the
very superior style of work put up by
that gentleman. We have seen sew.
eral suits cut and made by him that
are par ercsllcnce in every respect
Every opportunity is afforded Gus
toners to suit themSelUes in style,
quality and make; their wishes are
consulted Throughout, and they are
furnished with what they want, not
with what the tailor thinks they
ought to have. If there is anybody
around desiring wedding suit, Mr..
Loewenstein is just the man to take
in and fully anticipate all the fancies
tastes and demands of such an occa-
sion. And if it is a private matter
yet awhile, he will keep it all to him
self. Try and see if he doesn't.
MINING NoTEs.-Pekin has a sur
plus of nom employed miners.
During the week ended Saturday
March 26th there were 1884 loaded
coal cars hauled over the Cumberland
and Pennsylvania Railroad.
The heading road between Hoffman
and Eckhart slopes 10 all graded, and
well timbered. Rooms are being
broken off alongside Of this heading.
The tonnage of the Eckhart slope will
be increased from this date.
Considerable discomfort prevails
among the employees at some OF the
mines concerning the calls to aud
from work. 1t is claimed that in the
morning the whistle blows at from 10
to Is minutes before 7 and in the
evening about the same average after
5 o'clock, a gain of time from each
man of from 90 to 80 minutes daily.
In the course Of year this is big
overdraw from, each man and from
a large lumber of these a enormous
involuntary gratuity to the company.
The thing is done quite slyly, as if
with the chuckle that nobody will
notice it. But if anybody does and
demonstrates, he is guilty of treason
and banished. That so-called strikes
should proceed from such petty NAL
administration is not a matter for
wonder at all. The real surprise is
that people, after finding out the i'm
position, submit TO it as long as they
do.
