An Indian explorer in the employ of the Indian survey has just returned from four years journsyings in Thibet, during which he spent year in Lhasa, the capital of Thibet, and the Rome of Buddhism. Before this traveller only four Europeans in this century have visited Lhasa. Hue and Gabet, the French missionaries, were driven from the city forty years ago, after living there few months Moorcroft was killed after he left the city, and another traveller was per mitted to remain there only few days. He says the city is crowded with temples, and has its Vatican in the monastery at Potola, where the Dalai Lama lives, who is regarded as the incarnation of Buddha. This building is surrounded by five gilded cupolas, which when sparkling in the sunlight present a dazzling spectacle. It contains numerous images, one of which is seventy feet high. During the festivals in the middle of Febru- ary, the Thibetans gathered to Lhasa from all over the country, to. pay homage to all the gods and goddesses, who are supposed to be present. These ceremonies last about a month at the end of which all the citizens are considered to have become purified for another year.

There is no such thing as selling an arti- cle below it's value"
 we are told. What you will sell 1t for and another will pay you for 1t zs its value. " Strict ly speaking, that IS true. What a man will and can sell a thing for is THEN and THERE its val ue. But Tn the ordinary commercial use of the word the "value" of a thing IS the price at which 1t Is sold com mon1y, all around, in the usual course of bus mess. And when we say that we are selling something below it's value, we mean that, for one reason or another, we are selling that thing at less than we could easily get for it; less than others in t h e neighborhood are get ting for 1t. Of course usually we try to sell our wares at their value. Every child knows that Is how a dealer makes his living; and the man who is always saying he sells everything at less than any one else, may safely be set down as a quack.
 We are selling Black Silks below their value to advertise our busl- ness. We admit that. We think 1t Is a good and legitimate way of advertising. It is not that we wish to make you believe we sell everything else as cheap.
 But our expectation IS, and it is justified by ex- perience, that a good Silk trade will bring a geshare of other trade with 1t. We are willing to oadvertise our business at the expense of profits on Black Silks, and just now for other and diff ferent reasons we are willing to do so even more strongly than usu- al. Of course to make such a thing not a mere sham we must sell the very best and most trustworthy makes that

Unsa.isiac,ory Mail schedule.

The discontinuance of the 4.56 mail to Bal
timore, is matter of considerable dissatis-
faction in Westminster The mail at 2.41,
which closes at 2.15 is too early at least an
hour for business men, and is very inconveni-
ent for the local newspapers. The 2 10 mail
insures an afternoon delivery, if on time, but
the afternoon delivery is more in name than
reality, as at the time of delivery, in winter
especially, there are neither proprletors nor
clerks to receive the mail at many business
establishments. Besides, the fast mail is
very irregular train in its eastward trips, and
is sometimes as much as an hour late. In
the winter and spring, and up to the begin
ming of summer, persons rarely ever went to
the depot to meet it without first inquiring by
telephone whether it was on time. If its
running hereafter is no more certain than 1t
has been, its arrival in Baltimore in time for
the afternoon delivery of the mail will be
matter of much uncertainty.
The change disarranges the whole machin-
cry of the newspapers here. In order to get
their editions ready for the Els mail, the
papers will have to be put to press about II
O. clock Friday mornings, and work continued
without intermisson for dinner. In doing
this, correspondents will have to be instructed
to report earlier, and the latest news for
Saturday paper will have to be sent in We'd
nesday night or Thursday morning, for the
local mail routes would not admit of a later
delay. Either this, or change in the day of
publication.
The dissatisfaction is not confined to this
city, but exists at Resterstown, New Wind
sor, Union Bridge, and other points
1t is hoped that change will be made in
few days that will be more satisfactory. If
the fast major 2. Al train-were an hour
to an hour and a quarter later, the dissatisfac-
ton would be allayed; but better still would
be mail by the train passing here at 456, as
formerly. The people all along the route,
from Wiliamsport to Baltimore, have been
accustomed to a mail on that train for some
years, and a return to it would be hailed with
satisfaction by them

RaSe Rail.

The Westminsters lost another game to the
Nationals last Saturday, by score of 10 to
4. The Westminsters should have won the
game. There was not an earned run on either
side, and the Nationals got but eight hits off
Driscolrs delivery, and no two of them were
obtained in one inning. The Westminsters
never made so many errors in game before,
some six or seven being marked against Mil
Ter, who is a irst-elass ball player. For him,
it may be said, he did not feel well and did
not want to play, but as his place could not
be supplied he occupied I'd base. If the
Westminsters had made no more errors than
the Nationals the game would have stood
to in favor of the former. If no errors had
been made the game would have been to 0.
On Monday the Westminsters played in
Frederick, and were beaten by the Unions of
that place by a score of to 5, though the
decisions of the umpire were so far from be-
ing right that to him must be credited the
defeat. As there were lot of roughs on the
ground, who threatened the Westminsters with
violence because one man was struck by q
pitched ball and because they protested against
wrong decisions, it may be the umpire was
intimidated to some extent. The crowd evil
IDENTIFY meant to defeat the WestminsterS by
fair means or foul, and succeeded.
The Frederick papers are highly elated
over the success ~ and take occasion to Sc
verely criticise the conduct of the Westmin-
ster players. The Unions can't play the
Westminsters, as everybody knows, and their
exultation is simply ridiculous. They might
play the ''Our Boys" club of this place good
game but would not be good amusement for
the Westminsters in fair contest.
The Westminsters were advertised to play
in Cumberland on Tuesday and Wednesday,
but did not go, owing to a failure in their ar
rangements. The club disbanded on We'd
nesday.

ployes of the Anti Nicotine cigar factory

Deo,h OF David Panebaker.

Mr. David Panebaker, one of the most
prominent citizens in Bachman's Valley, died
suddenly on Wednesday night last, about 8
o'clock, though he had been in failing health
for the past year. Mr.. Panebaker was 81
years of age, and lived and died on the farm
that descended to him from long line of
ancestors, ante dating the Revolutionary war.
He was a quiet, unobtrusive citizen, charita-
BILE and kind, and some who now possess
homes of their own are indebted to him for
assistance in starting life. His interment
will take place at Bachman's church this
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. He leaves
a widow, two sons and two daughters. His
estate is valued at about $50, 900.
