REV. JOSEPH MASON.
A Sketch of His Life.

DrEp-At his residence in Fppstburg, Nd,
on the morning of April 5th, Rev. JOSEPH
MASON, in the s5th year OF his age.
The deceased was born in Philadelphia on
the 22d day Of May, 1893, and educated in
that city for the ministry of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. At the age Of is he was
licensed by Bishop White to preach as mis-
sionary in York, Adams, Huntington and
other then sparsely settled counties Of Penn
sylvania. When only 20 years of age he
married and took charge of the Huntington
County Academy. After two years spent in
that place he removed and took charge of the
Chester County Academy, then an institution
Of considerable Importance. After four years
spent here in teaching and occasional preach
ing, failing health compelled him to quit the,
to him, delightful task. He purchased and
removed thence to small farm short dis
lance from the academy. Shortly after his
removal he was appointed magistrate by the
Governor of Pennsylvania. and under this
and subsequent appointments, held the office
for II years. at the expiration of which time
the constitution of the State was changed,
making the Office elective, when, notwith-
standing the party to which he belonged was
largely in the minority, he was elected to the
office and held it by election for four years,
and until his removal to Somerset county in
the spring of 1872 Here he once more took
charge of school and taught several years,
when his health again falling he received an
appointment as Colporteur for the American
Tract society. In this capacity he travelled
over the hills of Somerset and Bedford coun-
ties, in Pennsylvania, and occasionally into
Allegany county, Maryland, preaching every
where, as opportunity offered, Christ and
Him crucifed In the course of his travels
he frequently visited Frostburg and at the ur-
gent solicitations Of number of its citizens,
determined to remove to this place, with his
family, and again engage in his chosen pro-
fession of teaching. Shortly after his remov-
al here in the winter Of 1850 he connected
himself with the NJ. E. Church and was IL
censed to preach, and about the years 1856 81,
was ordained by Bishop Jaynes. His subse-
quent history in this place is of too recent date
and too we'll known to need recital. Until
age and intirlnity compelled him to cease from
his labors, his life was one of unseltish devo-
ton to the good Of others. He rests from his
labors and his works do follow him. n.

A Subtle Mfsstatement,-The Cum
berland Times of Tuesday prints the
following:
The election at Frostburg yesterday resulted
in the election of Peter Payne, republican, for
'layor, and of three democrats and three re-
publicans as councilmen. The democrats
were Messrs. j. d. Oder, C. F. Nickel and ].
n. Carson. The republicans, Messrs. Vincent
Raley, Samuel T. Logsdon and c. Il. Wack.
Paynes majority was l7s. The highest vote
cast was 1888 for c. F. Nickel,
The fact that the Council is COM
posed of four republicans and taco dem
ocrats might not amount 10 a very
serious impeachment of the Times re-
port, but when it puts Mr.. Nickel
Town as "a democrat" there is enough
of fun in it to make all the horses
laugh. Without, therefore, intimating
chat the Times intended making a
statement that nobody could overtake,
it is due to truth to say "the highest
vote cast was 1888 for C. F. Nickel"
republican.

Death of nm Esttmable Ladv.-Mr,

Death Of an EstiMabIe Lady.-Mrs
Elizabeth Hitchins, wife Of Mr.. Owen
Hitchins, of this place, died Monday
afternoon, April 7th, 1884. Mrs. H.
was the daughter of the late George
Jeffries, of this place. She was born
in Monmouthshire, England, Deem
Der "a, 1881 was married May 6, 1852,
and twenty days later sailed from Liv-
erpool, arriving in Frostburg July 9TH
following. Her husband, two daugh-
tiers and two sons are deeply bereaved
by the sad event, while an extensive
family connection, embracing eight
brothers and one sister, have almost
equal cause to lament great loss.
Mrs. Hitchins had been in precarious
health some years, suffering with in
fammatory rheumatism which ulti-
mately affected the heart. This devel-
opment Of the malady called out the
solicitude of her family and she was
watched and shielded with assiduous
care. When she was last i'll, however,
the radical character Of the symptoms
and severity of suffering awakened the
serious apprehensions of her friends at
an early stage. "Hope against hope"
was felt, however, taking her recovery
from former critical illnesses as the
basis. At length, her two daughters,
Misses Minnie and Annie, visiting in
Williamsport, Pa, we're sent for, and
last Sunday her absent son, Joseph, re-
siding at Roanoke, Va. was summoned.
The former arrived in good time the
latter, through train delays, failed to
reach home until Tuesday morning.
Wednesday the funeral took place at
the N E. Church, of which she had
beer member many years. The
large attendance of friends, many
from abroad, attested the high esteem
in which she was held. The remains
were inferred in Allegany cemetery,
where rest several children. Mrs.
dltchlnS was quiet, humDle, ChrlS-
tian lady. In the realm of her family
circle she was an e1emplar of order.
Under her benign rule few pleasanter
or more elegant homes have been rear
ed in Frostburg. Living for her FAM
lily, she was nevertheless unpretend-
ingly hospitable to all. To those,
therefore, whom she most loved and
served, her death is a loss which can
not be restored in this life. Blu. the
results of her work remain to bless and
cheer, and as the years roll on there
are some who will make her name tho
cynosure of numberless precious men,
cries until they shall Join her in the
beatific state.

Strange Ne,vs. = The Shenandoah
Pa.) Mining Herald of last week prints
the following:
The mining situation in the Cumberland
district which for several weeks past appeared
to be getting into bad shape, was improved
somewhat last week, by the decision OF the
Trades Tribunal in favor Of sliding scale.
This begins at 8 cents when coal on the wall
is selling at 1915 per 100 bushels This being
the present price, establishes cents as the rate
in all railroad pits, and the miners are said to
be satisfied. On the river, matters are not vet
settled, but will be in few days. and there is
every indication that the diggers will decide
in favor Of accepting reduction to SIC.
This is nearly as correct as the Cum
berland Times analysis Of Frostburg
election returns.

Washington, D. c., and Joe H.

Baby Dogs.

''Nice little fellows, amt theyl" said
the owner of the black and tan baby dogs
which for some days have been attracting
attention in window on Woodward ave-
nue.. II could sell a barrel of them If ]
could get them"
They were nice canine babies-smooth-
skinned, but with little hair on their
sleek chests, with legs that looked like
lead pencils, and plaintive eyes that
popped out of their heads like marbles.
What pedigree have theyl"
ooh, they're thoroughbreds, " said the
dealer, ''bred in-and-in until they are so
weak they can hardly. stand. We sell
these for $25 eaeh-they are all sold, too,
but you see they only weigh couple of
pounds. Now, dog that weighs five or
six pounds of this breed can be had for
so or $12. Anything over eight pounds
you can yet at your own price"
"Who buys these dogs2"
"Oh, the ladies buy them for pets;
they've been out of fashion for some time,
and they arc very hard to get; so now
everybody wants them. can't get half
enough for my customers"
"What is the best age to buy one at9'
ing it. And that is fun, l can tell you.
Some folks sit up with their dogs nights
and feed them out of teaspoon and take
just as much care of them as if they were
children. Yon must cut their ears, too.
1t requires a surgeon to do that"
GA dog doctor 2"
Sometimes; but there are families
where the family physician is called in
for the dog as regularly as for the chill
dren. I'll tell you a curious coincidence"
said the dealer whenever the children
are sick in a. family where they keep a
toy terrier the animal will get sick, too.
Measles, whooping- cough, chicken pox,
that dog will have every one of them"
''How do you account for it ~
Sympathy: and it's natural for them
to catch anything that's agoin'. They're
not much use and / don't admire them as
ornaments" continued the man, ''but
some folks do. There's woman lives
on Harrison avenue, near Michigan, who
raises them. Did you want to leave an
order ~
mot to-day; how about Scotch ter
riers 2"
II have some beauties; you can get the
best for $40. But the Skye terrier is
much higher. There was rush for them
last year They had their haiR banged
and tied up with blue ribbons, and
ribbon bows on their feet, and on the
tips of their tails, and they were as proud
as peacocks Well, them same terriers
are running in the mud to-day. They
