Mr.. John Ryan, the long-estab-

founder of Baltimore, dropped in up
on us this week rudy and smiling.
He is an ardent admirer of Frostburg
scenery and wonders somewhat that
we do not press more rapidly our de-
velopmeut into q summer resort. The
possibilities in that direction are i'm
Inense, and, he thinks, in dull times,
like those occasioned by The present
cessation Of mining, the town could
not more proGtably indemnify itself
for the loss of its accustomed revenue.
ANOTHER STRIKE.--A few weeks
since the ladies of Cumberland con-
oluded to do away with tho use OF
shoe polish and become opponents OF
woman's rights b. having their shoes
BACKED by the youngsters who have
their boot-black stands around the no.
tells. This new etyle of customers
we're rather exacting about the man
ner in which the work was to be done
by the garrulous gamins and demurred
because an extra amount of backing
was not placed on the heels. AS a
sequel to all this a meeting of the
boot blacks was held in front of the
Queen City Hotel and adopted the
following resolution:
Rcs3lDrd, That we as perfesshunal boot.
blacks hav been emposed on bi the female
wimmen of Cumberland, cause they want
us to black their shoes and as their feet is
so big we oaz't make anything and We
won't llack their shoes anymore unles
they pay us 90 cents for backing them.
and men only 10 cents. We mean bred
or blud.
AS consequence the boys ar on
a strike but are willing to arbitrate
and have appointed committee 81
three consisting CT Nox Tanner, Rock
O'Brien and Samp Gotten to meet a
committo from the ladies'. From late
dispatches we believe satisfactory
conclusion will be reached.
