OAKLAND. MD. April /, 1890.


Mr.. EDITOR:-Au act was passed
by the Legislature submitting to tn
voters of Oakland the question Of II
suing bonds to the amount of $1,000,
for the purpose of repairing Jffil
streets of the town. This is an in
portant matter and should be are
fully studied by every citizen, and
his vote cast in the interest Of prog
re@S aud economy. Experience in
the past has fully proven that it is
impossible for Council to keep our
streets in anything like decen: con-
ditiOn with the money derived from
the taxation of twenty-five cents on
the one hundred dollars; nor could
it repair them in a proper manner
were the taxation double what it is
now. 1t has also been proven by
other towns that when the streets
get into the condition they are in
Oakland, and even before they are
as had as they are here-it is impos-
sible to put them in good repair with
out raising the entire amount neeps
sary and do the work at once instead
Of "A small portion each year. But
when the streets are once paved or
laid with cobble-stOne. then it is an
easy matter to keep them repaired,
and with much less money than is
now expended on our streets. Hence
it seems to us that from an economic
standpoint, if not for the sake Of i'm
provement, it would pay our citizens
to vote for the issuing of the bonds.
repair our streets, and then pay of
the bonds by a reasonable taxation
when they become due. In this way
the tax payers will not feel the bur
den much more than they do now,
and will stamp our city as progr4
siye, thereby inducing strangers /,
come among us, and thus by thu
improvements they would make and
the enterprises which would of neces.
sity spring up, the rate of taxation
would actually decrease instead O
advancing or even staying at tht
point it now is. Let US, citizens O
Oakland. look at this matter in &
busiaess-like manner and see how
much we would be benefited by the
improvement. Let US see to it thai
when the election day comes that We
vote for the best progressive men We
have in the city. Place them at the
helm. give them the bonds to work
with, and in short time there will
go forth to the world the announce
ment that Maryland contains nc
equal to our city for beauty. health
fulness, progressiyeness and intelli.

Lighting q Pine With Ice.

From the st Louis Republic
Last winter (there has not been enough ice
this winter for any such experimental quite a
little excitement was caused among party of
skaters on the serpentine river, England, by
one Of the party making lens Of ice and light

writer that this curious experiment was first
brought before the public by DR.. Scoresby,
who, when In the polar regions, to the great
Advertisements of his companions, who did not
understand why the ice did not freeze the

feat

ECCENTRIC LETTER WRITERS.
Curious Epistles on the "Crank File''
of the War Department.

There is in the archives of the War department
box known the crank file," wherein are
slowed scores Of letters from eccentric indvid-
uals all over the world. A curious contribu-
ton to this collection was received this morn
ing. 1t was written very badly in q miserable
hand on the top of half sheet Of foolscap
paper and was as follows:
'hiiips 2. II DIVA oc. a. F lorid anuary J O..
tn s. 80 IS. especially r. ed Return OF O..
tn. ar W. t. Department or +. g. tn lain c. q. o.

EASY ENOUGH TO READ IF voc Know HOW.
For time it bafled everybody in the record
division, where it was read, until the attention
OF Mr.. Hodgklns, the chiefly called to the en-
velope, which was addressed thus: 'Or ". t.
Department ashington ". G. D." Then he
found the key. and by shifting the letters into
their proper places he made out the letter to
read: Philips, Duvall Co., Florida, January
the 8, 1890. Respectfully returned to the War
Department for the claim OF W. Clark, Benja-
min Clark"
No one knows anything about "the claim Of
W. Clark, and q search in the records will be
necessary. Ii nothing is developed thus
apohte note Will be sent to Mr.. BENZ. Clark re-
questing him to be trife more explicit.
Mr.. HoDGKISs' THEORY.
Mr.. Hodgkins has come to be quite an expert
in the matter of deciphering crank missives,
which, he says, seem to come in patches at
certain seasons. He has a theory that there
are conditions of climate that make these
folks little worse than usual just as the dog
days affect the CANNES in summer. for when
ever he gets one crank letter he is almost sure
to get dozen more at once There is one
man who sends the department great sheets of
paper covered with pictures of guns and can
mons badly drawn in red ink, strings of SOL
diers armed to the teeth, much after the fash
ion OF the Indian bark picture writing. The
outside OF each envelope is covered with this
sort Of hieroglyphics and the letters them
selves are utterly unintelligible.
