OFF FOR THE CONVENTION.
Every Preparation Being Made to In
sure Comfortable and Quick Trip
With No. Accommodation.

As to be expected, the B. & 0. is
right on time with bottom figures on
the rates to the Chicago convention.
One fare for the round trip, with
tickets good going from May 29th to
June I'd and good returning up to
and'including June 18th is the way
to talk it, and that is the tune the
old reliable sets for others to follow or
not as they please. 1t matters little
to the public or the road, as here
abonts all go by the B. & 0. Every
means will be provided to insure
ample accommodations for all who
come, and as for time the roads rep.
utation in this respect leaves no
room for question. AS a matter Of
course, the B. & o. will take this
business from this section, as no
other line can compare with it in di-
rect and rapid access to to the seat OF
convention proceedings. Its trains
run direct to Chicago without change,
and when the demand reaches the
limit Of the regular trains sufficient
sections will be added to accommodate
the travel to the most satisfactory ex
tent. An especial advantage possess
ed by the B. & 0. over all other lines
entering Chicago is that its depot may
be said to be almost part Of the
structure in which the conventions
will be held. 1t Immediately adjois
the convention building, and the
main entrance is but a very short
walk from the platform where the
trains stop. The B. & O.'s new depot
in Chicago is, beyond all question,
the handiest in the city, being within
few squares Of the hotels and near
the business centres. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly neat and commodious build
ing, with attractive waiting rooms
and courteous attendants. The low
rates-half fare, or one fare for the
round trip-will be in force for both
conventions, the National Republican
in June and the National Democratic
in July. 1t would be good idea for
those contemplating going to have a
talk with the B. & 0. agents and
learn all requisite particulars. in the
shape of time of departure of trains,
ETC., etc.

A LATE Boston invention combines
the telegraph, telephone and electric
light-all to be run ut the small cost
Of an ordinary telegraph battery.
For the light the claim is made that
sunlight will be transmitted directly
from those regions where old Sol is
shining to those under the shade,
and 80 the machine can be used
reciprocally by opposite sides of the
earth. In other words, that electric
ity will be used to transmit light
vibrations as it ia now for sound vi
brations. Perfect as this combination
is said to be, we beg leave to remark
that it will be delinquent so long as
it excludes heat from similar trans-
mission. The canal beng about
"gone up it would be only fair to
"plsy out" the railroads by shipping
heat over wires instead Of coal over
rails. We would warm New York,
New England and all other new sec.
tions from rad,ating CRATE located
at Frostburg, including continuance
which wonld infallibly advise our
benefciaries that the heat they enjoy
is not the "Cumberland" variety.

Brecftfes.--Pay week-the best OF
the year so far. An excellent time to
take the JOURNAL. II you shouldn't
want it yourself, your faithful wife
may be longing or your children may
be shedding in solitude the briny tear
for it. 1t is bad luck to lose salt.
1t is work of supererogation for a
Cumberland informant to state to us
that "he knows a girl who wouldn't
fib for the world but when anybody
asks her about her shoes, what num-
Der she wears, she always replies,
Two" AS she has two feet, she of
course speaks the truth but this shows

Mr.. z. T. Carpenter, of Washington,
D. c., undertakes to carry the mail
three times a week for one year be-
tween Frostburg and Vale Summit for
$l63-about 81 .04A cents per "trip.

There is no probability that tolls for
coal on the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal will be reduced below thirty-six
cents, the rates recently fixed by the
board Of directors.
Under the license law for Garrett
county, thirty days notice is required
to be given by applicants before license
can be granted. This law went into
effect Nav l., and as a consequence
the bar-rooms will be closed until the
expiration of thirty days from date
of application for license.
We take it that Mr. z. T. Carpenter
Of Washington, d. c., has obtained
the contract for carrying the tri-week-
ly mail between Frostburg and Vale
Summit. He now wants to sub-let
and asks for proposals for both tri-
weekly and a daily trip.
A pressure Of advertisements compels
us to defer some other matter. Our
Washington letter contains points that
will not lose by printing next week.

ALMOST simultaneously come two
alarming reports. Mr.. NJ. G. Peter
man, of Pittsburg, has discovered a
way in which whiskey can be solidi-
fed and made into plugs that may
be carried in the pocket as tobacco
now is and nibbled in the same sur
reptitions way in which some men
help themselves to q "chew,' and
the Irish Americans are SAID to be i'm
porting nitro-glycerine into England
under the guise of the same intoxica-
ting beverage. However dangerous
the Peterman invention may be esti-
mated it must be admitted it is as
nothing compared with the LA. ex-
pedient to explode British parliament
arians. These noble souls are under
stood to be fond of 'streat" and
easily seduced to imbibe under
this social testimony of friendship.

the avenger has to do is to FLIP the

THE New York dailies are in a
wooden frame of mind about their
respective circulations, and affidavits
are flying fast and loose. None of
them, according to the others, is
near 80 large as formerly represented,
which fact indicates the intrinsic
value of affidavits. 10 our thinking,
however, the admitted general falling
off may be traced to the phenomenal
prosperity of all those papers which
have the ''largest circulation in West

A GREAT financial explosion in New

AaRgAT financial explosion in New
York has shaken money circles in that
and other cities. Several bankers and
brokers have been brought out dead,
and it is feared by agonized friends
that what ex-Mine Inspector Brown
calls ''after-damp," will suffocate q
few more. Fortunately, nota window
pane of the First National Bank of
Frostburg was startled, which DEM
onstrates anew the accuracy Of the
well-known but hitherto unpublished
axiom that those who live only and

an appropriation by the coming Lcgisla.
ture to repair the building used as a State
House in that city. Opposition to such a
meiritorious suggestion could find loig.
ment only, in very narrow minds. Tie
appropriation should be voted for without
hesitation and unanimously. The State
will have used continuously their build
ing for more than eight years, and, like
any private person or. corporation, should
pay for what it received or used. It Is no
mendIcant or pauper. Fair dealing, hon

are sure no system Of selfish or stintgy
