Brief Mention. is grounding
day in Mt. Savage.
Arthur Loves Comedy Company
exhibited in Paul's Opera House Mon
day evening. The music was good,
play lively and audience frozen. The
actors complained of antarctic scenery
behind the stage and some frosted gas
light in front.
A captious correspondent wants to
know whether cheney -combed" is not
a better term than perforated" He
'efers to our use of the word last week
as descriptive of West Virginia after
all the experimental holes" are down.
We believe he is right. "Honey-
combed" implies absolute plurality,
while "perforated' does not We de-
desire to add in this connection that
we do not always write for the benefit
of critics. Cultured as class, perhaps,
they compose too small a congregation
to occupy excessive attention. Never
theless, when they want to shoot at
US, we prefer to be perforated"
Some time ago Messrs. John
Mershinski and Ferdinand Furtmeyer,
of Eckhart, made themselves conspic-
uous in row at ball at McMillan's
Hall. With others they "climbed
over" minority of ''more indigenous"
citizens and chased them off the
premises. The latter took refuge in
Thomas Footen's house, whereupon
Mr.. F. fortified his castle against
foreign invasion. The storming party,
finding themselves "included out" dis
charged several shots into the dwell
ing. Monday they were tried in
Court for the offence and found guilty.
The State will probably relieve them
temporarily of the expense of taking
care of themselves.

is a gem which bereaved ones will
prize.
Says Kaiser William: "My Moltke
is silent in seven languages" Several
newspapers in Allegany county, in
GLIDING the JOURNAL, are in the same
attitude of linguistic solitude.
Mr.. John Davis, mining boss of
Borden mine, has received a cane
from Mr.. W. H. Carson, of Laredo,
Texas, which is curiosity among
natural growths. About one-third of
the stick is a complete spiral, formed
by the growth of some hardy, winding
vine. Another third bears traces less
marked of the climber" making If
altogether a walking assistant at once
pretty and unique. The stick is a
netive OF Mexico.
One of the city papers reports that
a large delegation from Allegany
county will appear before the legisla-
tive committee on labor next Tuesday
or Wednesday.
Read everything under the headings
of New Business Locals,' and New
Advertisements" Somebody is bound
to want something that is advertised.
Under the warmth of the south
winds the snow and ice gave way con-
siderably Wednesday and Thursday.
The grounding will probably see
his shadow to-day. If so, according
to tradition Of ancient age, the storm
period is extended until the 18th OF
March. If not, the six weeks of bad
weather will fall in on US after the
date named. We prefer having the
contract filed Immediately.
A Broadway neighbor cut ditch iii
the ice Thursday to drain a flooded
gutter. The ice was hard, the ditch
lengthy and the job one that required
some physical condescension. When
last seen he was exhibiting it to his
friends as an "all four achievement
done strictly within an eight-hour
day."
A Cumberland paper is authority
for the statement that the insane
asylum building will be erected on
the almshouse property" "To err is
human y to have cheek divine.
We would like to hear from work
ingmen concerning the alleged eight
hour bill. The JOURNAL is open.
