From The Hancock Star.

The Forty Hours Devotion began
at the Catholic Church Sunday morn
ing at ten O'Clock and ended Tuesday
at 9 a. M. Rev. Fathers Manly, Rab-
bia and Griffith assisted Father Mead,
the pastor, in the services. The altar
was decorated very beautifully with
flowers and looked very imposing be-
hind many brilliant lights. The
music on Tuesday morning was of a
high order and finely executed. The
attendance was large at all the SER
vices.
PROF. SPEssARD ASSAULTED
Prof. Charles III. Spessard, the princi-
pal of our public schools, was assault
ed by Assistant Burgess Wolfkill, in
front of Capt. L. HI. Kuhn's Thurs
day afternoon, for whipping his son
Bert at school in the morning. The
boy in company with several Others
should have stoned Messrs. Spessard
and Smith the night previous and
were delinquent in their studies the
following day, whence the chastise-
ment. Prof. Spessard was on his
way to school, when accosted by Mr..
Wolfkill. A short conversation was
held and Mr.. Spessard was about to
leave when struck double handed
blow on the forehead with maple
broom handle by Mr.. Wolfkill, he
Immediately fell to the ground, blood
running profusely from the wound.
He was taken to his hotel, the Central
House, where medical services were
rendered by Drs. Perkins and Stigers
and is recovering in manner that is
very encouraging to his many friends.
Mr.. Wolfkill was given hearing be-
fore Justice Harrison. In the war
rant he was charged with assault with
intent to kill. He was remanded
| into the custody of the authorities at
Hagerstown, Friday morning.

THE VALUE OF THE HoMEMARKEr..

W0rkingmen who are so persis.
tently urged to vote for free foreign
trade under promise that all the ma
lions OF the earth viii in return be.
come consumers Of American pro-
ducts, may very profitably consider
the possibilities of that promise be-
ing made good. The fact is, the mar
kers SO lavishly promised are now
quite fully occupied by the very Eu-
ropean manufacturers and trades.
men who are behind this free trade
movement. and every man with a
knowledge of business knows that
they can be supplanted in but one
way. i. e., by offering our products
at lower prices than are now charged
or our rivals will accept under the
pressure OF competition. And here is
where the interest of the working
man becomes especially prominent.
AS more than nine.tenths of the
value of manufactures consists ofthe
labor bestowed upon their prodnc-
ton, it necessarily follows that about
an equal proportion ofany reduction
in price must come off those who
perform the labor. With this fact
in his mind, the glittering prom
Use of foreign markets will have a
hollow sound for the American
workingman.
Unable to controvert the serious
fact that their policy means lower
wages for American labor, the free
trade preachers begin to talk of de-
creased cost of living which will
come with the millennium they pic
ture, but succeed in proving nothing
beyond the fact that cheaper living
must come, if it comes at all, by re-
ducing the price of all other articles
as well as those to be sent abroad.
And this means that labOrers in
every department of industry must
be compelled to work for lower wages
than they now get.
The United States markets is the
best in the world. 1t is the only one
we can ever be certain of holding,
and to give 1t over to foreign rivals
for the privilege of under bidding
them for custom with which they are
not now content, would be folly
into which the intelligent working.
men of the country are not likely to
be inveigled.
