An old woman living In the south OF Franco
died at the age OF eighty-three. In her will,
in recognition OF the services OF her physician
"whose devoted care had prolonged her life,"
she left the contents OF her cabinet. After
her death her executor unlocked the cabi-
net and found In 1t unopened, sealed and
corked, all the pills and potions prescribed for
the deceased by the eocJor during the pre-
vious ten years.

Accident at Homecoming.

The almighty dollar continues to rule the
nations, ships still float on the surface Of the
great deep, and ye,6S will ever agree with
their substantives, the puny efforts of the
Utopian JOURNAL and its correspondent to
the contrary notwithstanding.-Lon Homecoming
Star.
Let us see if they do. Look at this
from the same issue of same paper:
The Reyie'c don't even deny that the Ne'cs
is paying 1t for issuing the levy list,
The grammatical reader will rec
ognize "don't" as a contraction of
do not. Hence, the sentence, elabora-
ted, according to the Star, should read
The Regiew do not even deny, etc.
Now, if the grammatical law of
nominal and verbal agreement be as
immutable and imperative as the
monetary law of ruling" and the
natural law of ''aoating,' why doesn't
the Star observe it ?
In the sentence quoted Recier (third
person. is singular, but a verb in the
plural form is made to agree with it.
How the misfit happened may never
be known, but the JOURNAL quotes
with unaffected pain the following
news item from the same issue:

The Great PAPER.


There is nothing in the Times ref
erence to the JOURNALS fair, i'm
partial, truthful statement last week
worth attention except the following :
1t (the JoURNAL) is to receive S115 for
circulating hand bills printed" at the Nems
office, which cost the JOURNAL less than one
fifth of what it is charging the taxpayers for
them.
Granted.
Why, then, did the Times last year,
or the year before, perhaps both
years, do precisely the same thing
If it is wrong now, why was it right
then?
The JOURNAL will say this:
1t was not obliged to go to the Neos
office for the supplements. The JOUR-
NAL, having the only Office in the
county, outside of the Neaos, that is
equipped to set the Levy in the same
body of type, could have printed a
far more satisfactory sheet.
But the Nens issued the list at the
heel of the week, and, not to be a
week behind, we preferred to send out
the supplements at once.
The expedient to which the Times
refers is trade secret" which no.
body, in any business, betrays without
disloyalty and injury to his craft.
But where all are guilty and all in
the soup, it is supposed the noble
army of little martyrs will rally
around the Times, and rally once
again-sll to show a rejoicing public
what a dandy set of sly rogues we are !!
But there is one more point we must
touch.
The Times says-mark the italicised
words:
The JOURNAL has monopoly of this fold
ing business) solely because it is not Demo-
cratic paper, and because Of its "sagacHy and
dsplomacy'' IN promising, by its absence from
its brethren when they applied for the print
ing not to crjticiSe the actions Of the ring.
NdH IL ne true tldI luo OOluullS-
sioners fear the JOURNAL more than
the Times, AHeganian, Independent, Cour-
Ter, and Reoie,c-all taken together?
We do not believe it.
Yet there is mo1icum of truth, in
the Times statement amounting to a
confession, founded probably upon
observation, not to say experience,
that if the Commissioners exacted
such promise, it was just what the
Times would have liked to do in the
matter of the registration combine.
At which time the JOURNAL was
present all ''we other fellows" alb

negatively as they now do positively.

AS a newspaper the Homecoming
Star is failure.
The salary of postmaster Dixon was
last week increased from 81, 100 to
81 200, but the Star does not record the
raise.
Perhaps there is reason for it.
AT the same time the salary Of the
postmaster Of Frostburg was raised
from 81 400 to 81 800.
The Star may credit the distribution
of mails here with part of the increase,
but postmaster Walker informs the
JOURNAL in advance that the raise is
based wholly on the business increase
Of the office.

Blessed Mistakes.

A London dispatch of recent date
says
The Rome correspondent of the Times
states that the commission appointed to
inquire into the prevalence of typhoid
fever in the city of Florence has con-
demned all the existing supplies of water
in Florence, and recommended that all WIS.,
itors should only drink bottled water if they
do not desire to contract typhoid fever
The few anti-new water works people
in Frostburg; that is, those who
generally think the demnition bow
vows are wrapped up in any public
improvement, would hardly like to
have their names distinguished as
apostles of typhoid fever regime.
Yet, as stated last week, the old
towns are fated, and the older they get
the surer their destiny as nurseries of
typhoid disorders.
Florence is ge,y old town, it is true,
but one does not have to go to Florence
alone to find the conditions which
breed low fevers. Many, very many
younger towns in this comparatively
new country, too, are similarly circum-
stanced. Hence, the cry for pure
fresh water supplies is one heard from
places all over the country.
Frostburg is fortunate as having
taken place in the van of the pro-
cession. 1t has built for the present
and future health of its people. 1t
has gone in debt, it is true, but the
repayments are mere premiums on a
nonforfeitable policy of insurance
against disease. They comprise the
cost of good health and prolonged life
deserts which no money values will
measure.
Mistakes may have been made in
the construction of this provision
against disease-epidemic, endemic, or
even sporadic, but they were not such
as will put people underground. A
few dollars, or even a few hundred
dollars, lost in successful effort to
establish a system of ''prevention'-
always and under all circumstances
''better than cure" is still money well
spent money better lost than saved.
The purpose sanctifies it and the result
in general justifes it. A mistaken
outlay in any sanitary direction,
public or private, whose object is not
defeated by such expenditure, proves
only the fallibility of human judge
ment-proves it most conclusively to
Tolerant people who, en- ntasse,
Reside in houses made of glass.
