realized by those who participated in
the Odd Fellows Reunion and Picnic IN
Frostburg last Saturday. People be-

ING all that could be desired, hundreds
of arrivals soon sweled into thousands.
The early regular train and the specials
two hours later brought large con

than 5000 strangers were IN town.
At this hour the procession, formed at
the depot, moved toward the Centen-

feature of the great occasion was the
unavoidable delay Of getting away by
the wreck of a train at the Westernport
crossing catching the C. q p. train on
the Piedmont side. The greater
portion of the south-bound crowd,
therefore. was held here until nearly
two o'clock Sunday morning.
The Camp Meeting.-A large crowd
was on the ground last Sunday to hear
the veteran preacher, Rev. John Lana
han, of Baltimore. The sermon was

mer truths delivered with all the unc-
ton of an orator in his prime.
Among those who have preached at
the camp the Frostburg pastor, Rev.

Another considerable crowd was
present on Chldren's Day-Tuesday.

for the grove and clearing up, 800 for
tabernacle, 800 for a boarding tent, other
sums for preachers tent, and outbuildings
etc. The people of Frederick district, in
whose bounds the camp is located built a
cottage for the presiding elder, Rev. G. G.
Baker. 1t is believed that by
another year there will be nearly or quite "A
hundred cottages in the grove, ranging in
value from 800 to $500 each. For cottages
and for the general purposes of the camp
about $4,000 have been expended to date at
Alegany Grove.

MANUFACTURING EGYPTIAN Mum,
MESA gentleman who has Just
returned from extended foreign
tour was asked Yesterday why he
had not brought home from Egypt
among other %curiOs, Il mummy. He
said there was a great deal of fraud
in the mummy business. Persons
purchasing mummies of course,
like to get them as we'll preserved
and natural looking as possible,
and as those found are generally
in a more or less dilapidated con-
dition, vendors have engaged in the
business of manufacturing bogus
mummies. They bagain with
tramps, beggars and such people
for their defunct c~arcasses, paying
therefor a sum sufficient to make
their remaining days short and
sweet. These fellows are preserved
and picked, and then smoked until
they are good limitations of the
genuine mummy. Whole rows of
these articles a be seen in smoke
houses at once. When sufficiently
dry they are wrapped in mummy
cloth and sold, to Americans chief
ly, bringing a high price.-POrHand
