meetings indicated some weakening
toward resumption at the old price,
but the tenor of remark indicated no
sentimcn: in that direction, but rathe,
more decisive stand for so cents
than ever before.
The Homecoming Recie,c speaks of
the notice advertising II meeting at
New Hope as ''hogus.'
a meeting was held near New Hope,
however, when motion to go home
and stay there until the men get sc
cents per ton was carried without a
dissenting voice.
Brecitics. - Mr.. McComas intro
duced Il bill Monday to increase the
pension of William II. Koch, of this
place.
Look on fourth page for reading
matter, and "The Great American Tea
Company's" new advertisement.
The new city hall is II heap of ruins
one of a very few instances where IN
institution was devastated before il
was created. But
The Veian and the Gabian towers shall fall
And one promIscuous ruin cover all
Nor, after length of years, stone betray
The place where once the very ruins lay.
That is, IN our case, unless a location
is discovered which will exactly suit
everybody.
The Cumberland baseball association
is making some arrangements about
running their nine on the road next
season. "Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania' is the proposed arena, but

encounter Frostburg anywhere.
An alarm of fire yesterday afternoon
originated from Il little blaze in DR.. A
B. Prices residence, which was extin-
guished by the family. Thc depart
ment was out promptly and in great
shape.
The boycot of the Cumberland Times
has been raised. Explanations salts
factory to each party show that there
was Il misunderstanding. The jour
NAL, which is an independent paper,
believes in the liberty OF the press, and
hard ly ever loses a subscriber without
deprcca,ing an attempt to suppress a
pa lladium of freedom. Therefore,, the
blockade of an esteemed contemporary
against subscriptions and its quaran-

as two direct indications that job work
would be next declared contraband,
which would about clean out its stock
Of reserved rights and repeal the sup
ply of stationery.
Hons James Dando and Albert
Hollc have sent us copies of Inspector
Sheridan's annual report. We have
not had time to review it.
lnasmuch as our mines and miners
are "Cumberland mines and miners y
why not send the remains of our unborn
city hall down there ? Then our base
ball association and grounds and thirty
odd dollars would be the last ungath-
cred twigs of Frostburg identity.
Kate ClaXton, the great actress, will
be grieved to learn through the Jour
NAL that the house in which it is be-
licved she was born, on the National
road, five miles east of Cumberland,
WAS very recently destroyed by fire.
Kate is 50 wrapped up in herself now,
however, that we fear she will not re-
member The dear old place, nor
acknowledge her Indebtedness to the
finest sample of independent Journal
ism III this panhandle.
The prophet of Shade Mills informs
the JOURNAL that the remainder Of the

Newport News, the Virginia coal
lading polt, is booming with business.
Probably the site of the proposed
city building is too far from the JOUR-
NAL, but the people must remember
that no question can be raised in this
town that would provoke an effort to
change our republican form of govern
mcnt quicker and surer than the lora-
ton of some public improvement.
"Wlll the taxpayers Of FroStburg
