said the citizen to the JOURNAL, 81
don't know any news. And if did |
wouldn't give it toyou, Do you know
what your paper is 1t is a fossil-a
wi1hered, rotten relic of prehistoric
ages. An aggregation of drivel, dust
and decay. A wretched apology for a
dodger. 1t is edited by a orm-eaten
head of cabbage, and every hanged
man connected with it is a gibbering
maniac. News? Why, you grinning
idiot, you wouldn't know news if you
saw 1t with its name painted on it.
You go along publishing fat-footed
rot that nobody reads and nobody
wants to read, and when you do get
something of genuine interest you fire
it into the waste basket. News? Huh
Last week | sent to your Office an ar
ticie explaining why am mugwump.
1t was something of widespread inter
est. Something everybody would read.
And it was not published. No, sir.
Not word Of it. And still you come
around here asking me for news. Now,
when you go to the office, want you
to tell 'em not to send me your misera-
BILE old obituary notice of a paper any
more. Understand 2"
"Yes, SIR" replied the JOURNAL
timidly, "but you are mistaken about
that article of yours. Itwas published
last week, as you will see by the paper
if you look at it. Here it is"
"Well, by thunder You're right.
Say, | wish you'd send me around
about 20 extra copies. Want to send
'em to my friends in the West. And
here's a box of cigars with my comp

good paper, young man. Any time /
can give you pointer, I'll be glad to

An Unttmeiy Death.-Miss Varina
ID. Churchill, youngest sister of Mrs.
J. B. Oder, Of this place, died at the
family home in Front Royal, Va, last
Sunday morning, aged % years, 7
months and days. She had been i'll
about two weeks, but no apprehen-
slons were felt until the three last
days. It was fondly hoped, even then,
that her apparently strong constitu-
ton would enable her to survive. The
disease was typhoid fever complicated
by an organic affection of the heart.
1t is related by those who attended
her during her illness that she never
complained of pain, saying only that
she was $50 tired"
Miss Rina was beloved by all who
knew her. Numerous floral tributes
crosses, crowns, hearts, wreaths, pill
lows, ETC., sent by sorrowing friends.
attested in some degree the high esti-
nation in which she was held. In
other ways also the community mani
tested the general and tender regret
felt at her untimely death.
Rev. j. Il. Jones, of the Episcopal
church, ofliciated at the obsequies
Monday afternoon. The address de-
livered was one affording great COM
fort to the surviving family. The an
nouncement by the rector and singing
by the choir of the deceased ladv's ia
vorite hymn
Nearer, my God, to Thee
was Il touching feature of the service.
Within sight of home her remains
were laid in the clay, the falling earth
mingling with the tones of the church's
commission of ''earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to Gust'-there to lie
until human angelhood is summoned
to bring its company to the rest pre-
pared for every child Of God.
81 Tempest IN u 1edp0t.n-A man
named w. f. Sinclair, of Baltimore
came here about month ago, ostensi-
bly, as a Knight of Labor working in
democratic interests. His protracted
stay aroused republican suspicion, and
the more he was considered the more
he looked like "a bad man from Bitter
Creek.' 1t was thought he knew how
to loot ballot boxes, and all that-ont
of the very things the Noble Order OF
North America frowns upon as u vic
ious requirement. Mr.. Sinclair wa,
accordingly forced INTO the position OF
identifying hlmself-which he was un
able to do in conversation with H
w. Schaidt, editor of the Homecoming
Recieac. The latter thereupon certified
in effect, that Mr.. Sinclair did moi
have the democratic sign, grip, or cur
rent passwords Of the Knights of La
Dor, and seemed, therefore, to be q
wolf in Sleeps duds. Telegrams tC
Cumberland, however, from j. G
SchOnfal ber and others, of Baltimore
who know a democratic X. of l.. when
they see one, testified to his "higl
standing" in the Noble Order. TC
make a long story short, Sinclair left
Monday without accomplishing any
good to either his party or Order III
this section.

Bishop Paret, of the Diocese of Ma
ryIand, Protestant Episcopal Church,
preached 1T St. Johns p. Z. Church,
this place, on Sunday morning and
confirmed class Of four. He based
his remarks on a portion of the Cos
pei for the day : "Render unto Caesar
the things that are CRsar's.n etc. He
said his attention had been called par
ticularly to this subject by the politi.
cal canvas. He showed the relation OF
the citizen to his country and said that
the same should exist in higher de
gree Of the heavenly citizenship. We
pay taxes, and the burning question
to-day is, What shall we do with the
surplus But the Church Golfers are
always empty. Patriotism calls mel
to sacrifice their comforts and offel
their lives, yet the Church is calling
for men to fill up the ranks of he
ministry. Order is preserved in thu
country more by the loyalty of its clti
zens than by the officers appointed t,
suppress lawlessness.
The Bishop preached at Mt. Savag,
in the evening and confirmed a clas
of ten.

Mules St0ndiSIt'S DescendantS.-The
following paragraph will be of interest
to those who bear a we'll known and
estlmable family name IN this vicinity:
Mr.. G. W. Standish, of Flagstaff Planta-
ton, Is the only remaining son of Miles
Standish, who was the direct descendant of
Miles Standish of Puritan times, the eighth in
the line. Mr.. Standish is a stalwart repre-
sentative of the family, fifty-two years ofage
His only brother, who bore the family name
Miles, died seven years ago, but he left son,
Miles, who is twenty-five years old, and G.
w. has son, Miles, who is four years old, so
his family name will be kept good. Mr.
Standish resides on the farm covering the
ground upon which Arnold camped on his
Quebec expedition, and where he erected a
flagstaff from which the plantation received
its name The original flagstaff was cut down
many years ago, it is said, by Mr.. Luke
Sawyer, when the country was wilderness,
and the fact of its being flagstaff was not
discovered until it was felled to the ground

Election Notes.-T The election pass
ed off quietly in this place. A fsticuff
or two was all that disturbed the good
order of the day. Good humor seem
ed to prevail on both sides.
Adam Laemmert and John Craw-
ford were sworn III as special officers,
but theiI services were not called into
requisition.
A considerable amount of money
was staked on the result Of the nation
al contest by Frostburgers.
The democrats established head
quarters over Messrs. Beall, Bausch &
Co.'S store. The republican headqnar-
ters were in Moat's Opera House.
Messengers from the Western Union
telegraph Office delivered the dis
patches at each place as soon as they
were received. AS the messages re-
ceived during the night contained no
definite information of the result,
there was not a great deal of hurrah-
ing done on either side.
A great deal of merriment was ere
ated at democratic headquarters when
Moses Bear ran breathlessly into the
room with a dispatch which announc-
ed republican clean sweep in New
York. The telegram was bogus, Mr..
Bear having manufactured it for the
occasion.
The counting of the ballots in the
llth district was completed shortly
after midnight.
The count showed that prohibition
voters were almost as scarce as hen
teeth.
AT o'clock p. m. Wednesday there
was posted in front of the postofIice
