ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.

Years ago when the cabinet maker
and his apprentice worked at the
bench and made the furniture, in the
primitive style of the times, needed by
the community around, it was but nat
ural that he should be called on. on
account of his skill, to make the coffin
that was required in his community,
and to furnish the hearse and his own
services at the funeral.
But times have changed, and neither
in small or large towns is either the
furniture made, except possibly some
of the plainest articles, by the cabinet
maker, and seldom if ever coffin is
constructed by him,
Why. then, should two branches of
business which nnder different con-
ditions we, naturally allied, continue
to exist together as a combination, the
reason and attendant circumstances of
which have made their separation
possible and proper9 The hearsc and
the coffin are used for but one purpose
and for one occasion. Neither are
made where they are used and they
have no association or connection with
any other branch of business.
In this age Of progress, therefore.
the vocation of the undertaken should
be, at least in large towns, one of
itself. HIS parapherualia and equip
ment should be to him what that of
the physician, or lawyer, or mechanic
is to him, respectively. He should be
a man of integrity and standing, and
u christian whose presence and services
would add something of dignity to

COUNTY NEWS.

Great Ercitement,-zC Cumberland is
rapidly getting ON to that high grade
of civilization that caused the down
fall of Greece and gave Rome over to
the tender merces of the Cloths and
Nandals. The other day II canal wharf
rat came out for promenade on the
sidewalk. The ladies and children
passing along set up such a racket
that it disturbed the nerves of his rat
ship, and he ran out into the street and
climbed into the wagon of a passing
expressman. The latter Immediately
jumped down, seized his horses by the
bits aud demanded of the Mayor that a
policeman come and remove the rat.
An officer was found, but he firmly,
though courteously declined to i'm
peril his life in any such ignominious
way. By this time the street had be-
come jammed with vehicles. A fire
engine came along and the driver yell
ed to the EXP ressman to get out OF the
way. The latter allowed that he
wouldn't bulge an inch until the fright
full animal was removed from his
wagon.
Finally dudish-looking young man
from the country appeared upon the
scene and learned the cause of the
stoppage of traffic. He climbed the
wagon-wheel, grabbed the wharfnger
by the tail and whopped him out by a
sudden jerk upon the cold pavement.
Since the evaporation of the canal
as a waterway tho Aghting qualities
of the Cumberlandese seem to have
decayed just as the foraging courage of
the great rodents has heen magnified.
II this depression continues for any
great length of time the day is on the
wing when crowd of gawks from
the valley of Wills Greek will descend
upon our capital and effete port of entry
and repeat the sad story at the decline
and fall Of an etfemipate city.
The canal must and shall be restored.

TOWN HAPPENINGS.

Looking for It, The fire department
expects soon to receive their new truck.
The machine went into the paint
shop early last week, where, with
buckets, axes. picks, and ladders, it
was to be painted and lettered.
A committee will appear before the
Town Council next Monday evening to
state the condition of the hose. OF
the $50 feet IN use only 500 can be de-
pended upon. Another 800 feet have
been in use II years. $50 of which are
included in the $50 feet. At u recent
test 200 feet bursted, and the fremer
say that had the test not been made
the same hose would have been ca. ried
to the schoolhouse aud disastrous re-
suit followed, The moral Of this story
is-the Council should provide all the
hose the fitemen will ask for.
tits suggested that parties at fires,
outside of the department, should take
no part in handling the apparatus
mless The ,fr0mea cali for outside aid,
Their operations nte frequently much
hampered by outsiders getting in the
way, and even in giving orders. The
latter should stand aloof until they
are called for then they should lend
wiling and strong help.

Fire, Monday afternoon about 5
o'clock janitor Joseph N. Jones dis
covered that the public school build
ing had canght fire from the furnace
flue. An alarm was sounded and a
large crowd assembled. The fire de-
partment was on hand promptly, and
although the fire was hard to get at,
the building was saved by these gal
liant men. The damages are estimated
at $400 or $500, mostly occasioned by
the complete drenching given that
portion of the building Immediately

THE Cumberland Times celebrated
George Washington's birthday. OF
him as Il business man" it said:
While it is fact that we have no (auto)
biography of Washington, we have an exam
pie in business life that it would be well for
the rising generation to study His whole
life establishes the fact that more perfect
man Of business never lived. His education
was purely a practical one. X 1t is
probably due in great measure to his early
formed habits of business that ne had such a
wonderful capacity for the business of war.
Let anyone read his will, and he
will rise from its perusal with the conviction
that no more thorough business man ever
lived There have been many documents of
similar kind drawn up with wonderful care
and labor and at vast remuneration by gen.
tlemen learned in the law, but none where
incident is so carefully attended to, not in the
fear of any possibility of an attack, but in
the ordinary sound busness-like manner in
which he did everything.
1t was in the brain of this consum-
mate business man that the project of
waterway, lateral with and fed by
the Potomac river, was conceived.
For years the giant enterprise enjoyed
the best thought of his mind and the
warmest place near his heart. 1t was
his fayorite theme when statesmen
were his guests, and when abroad en-
joying the homage of his people it was
so much so that one of the monuments
built to immortalize his memory by
his native State was charter embalm-
ing his plans and putting in motion
his enterprise.
And yet we find his Cumberland
eulogist of this age training with a
crowd bent upon robbing the people
of the great work projected by him for
the public benefit, and turning the
munifcent proceeds into filthy pockets
already lined with booty gathered
from the ravages of years of 'busi-
ness" spoliation and destruction.
If there is one thing that has not
been respected, or even remembered by
the railroad lease people and their ad-
herents it is the life, character and ex-
ample of George Washington.
The city Of Baltimore has long COM
planned of the inequality which al
lows its people and property-in both
cases nearly one half Of all in the State
only about one-ffth of the Legisla-
tive representation of the State.
At first sight it looks like the com
plant is we1l~founded.
But when one comes to look at the
crowd the city sends to the Legislature
the conclusion is irresistible that it
would be better off if it were not rep

THE appointment of receivers by
Judge Alvey is in line with his opinion.
He has selected three excellent gen
tlemen, Messrs. r. ID. johnson, of
Cumberland Robert Bridges, of Han
cock, and Joseph d. Baker, Of Fred

SO far as we can see there is no ring
politics in the trio, modest pecul
iarity which stands out in luminous
contrast with the cheeky presumption
of the so-called Cumberland and
Washington railroad company.
The receivers enjoy a magnificent
opportunity to demonstrate TO the State
and the country that an honest aud
respectable administration of the canal
will be blessing alike to the long
neglected owners and the people en-
shaved by the power which has misused
and wasted its earnings to their dis.
advantage.
We believe the receivers will honor
the trust imposed upon them.
If so, the results will assuredly honor
Them.
