Valuable Rules for Road-Makers and

The following rules, published by

puddle to remain on q road, but fill it
up at once with chips from the stone

2. Always use chips for patching,
and for all repairs during the summer
months.
3. Never put fresh stones on the
road if by cross. picking and thorough
use of the rake the surface can be made
smooth and kept at the proper strength
and section.
4. Remember that the rake is the
most useful tool in your collection, and
that it should be kept close at hand
the whole year round.
5. Do not spread large patches of
store over the whole width OF the
road, but coat the middle, or horse.
track, first, and, when this has worn
in, coat each of the sides in turn.
6. Always arrange that the bulk OF
the stones may be laid down before

What Mr.. Porter Doesn't Know.


OF course he (Mr. Mayer knows by
Porter's census that Homecoming is the
second largest place in the county.-Lona-
coming Star.
"Of course" he does, and, by the
same token, "of course everybody
does-everbody except Mr.. Porter
himself.
By the way, Mr.. Porter says:
A list is being made up which will include
all the incorporated towns and villages in the
State.
He furthermore states by implica-
ton that "the figures for Frostburg
and Homecoming are not get acaiLa6te."
How, then, is Mr.. Mayer to know
"that Homecoming is the second larg-
est place in the county," when Mr..
Porter himself cannot determine the
matter because the figures are as yet
out of reach9
But it may turn out that Lonaconlng
has nominaUy more people than Frost.
burg.
All depends upon the honest idios-
yncrasies of Frostburg census enumer'
ators and the overweening enterprise
of the Homecoming genus.
If the latter were like the Star there
is no good reason why Homecoming
should not be larger, but powerful.
one why it should be twice as large.

Stay Out!


What respectable man who earns
his bread by toll is not ashamed of the
great crime going on in the Pennsyl-
vania coke regions in the name of
labor ?
Who is he that is not ashamed of the
employment of dynamite to right
either real or imaginary wrongs-an
agency of reform that would consign
to eternal infamy the best cause that
ever inspired human hearts and nerved
human arms!
Yet that is so-called labor's resort to
avenge so-called labor's grievances.
Fellow-workmen, the natural gray
ity of secret labor organization is
dangerward. There is not a step for
wald, or even sidewise, that does not
lead indirectly but certainly to suicide.
1t eventually fetches up in Mollie Nc
Guireism, anarchy, the Malta, or some
thing equally fatal.
Stay out of secret labor organizations,
no matter how glitttering the promises.
Stay out of the first that offers and
stay out of the last, and your first
estate will be your best. The way of
the master workman and walking
delegate leads toward hell-the scrip
tural type of the renewed and per-
petual home in the life to come of the
persevering socialist.

An Evil that Is Mixed with Good

Somebody writing to the Frostburg
Ledger wants his pay every two weeks.
The petitioner is no doubt a good,
well-meaning sort of laborer in
some vineyard other than the mine.
1t is not that he cares so much for the
poor miners welfare, but in all prob
ability he wants to handle his own re-
sources oftener than once a month.
1t is not likely either that he cares
much for the additional tax his pro-
posal will levy on the cost of coal at
the mine.
At the same time his arguments are
quite weighty.
But there are not enough of them.
Among the results of his system he
forgot to mention the likelihood that
shooting, stoning and kicking scrapes,
such as took place at Carlos and
Homecoming last pay, will be multi
piled by two.

al Fashion Magazine Has Done
For It's Readers.
New York, April 1s.-Among the cabin
passengers who arrived from Europe to-day
by the steamship LA Bourgogne," were
fourteen Partisan designers of ladies' FASH
ionable gowns. These artists have been en-
gagged by the enterprising managers of the
New York and Paris Young Ladies Fashion
Bazar, to contribute exclusively to the
columns of that popular magazine. All of
them are well known in New York, for their
regulations have preceded them. Mrs. Astor,
the Vanderbilts, Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs.
Marshall o. Roberts are among the society
leaders who have worn gowns designed by
the artists. During an interview with re
porter one of the designers said
paris still leads the world of fashion
although Eugene no longer sits on the
throne Partisan gowns have style about
them that can not be equaled. That, sup
pose is the reason why we have been en-
gagged to come to America to teach the ladies
of your beautiful country, through the
columns of the New York and Paris Young
LduleS fUMtON DdzUf now these WOndarf I'll
creations of the dress-makers art are con-
structed. 1t is our business to design the
handsomest and most fashionable gowns for
the different seasons of the year. These
designs will be printed in colors and will
be accompanied by such clear instructions as
to the selection of materials and the cutting
and fitting of the garments that no woman
ofsense will have the least difficulty III max
ing perfect-ftting gowns herself. 1t is a
knack, a science, to fashion gown that will
make a very small and very feshy lady
appear slim. Not one designer out of a
thousand can hit upon the true lines unless
he makes it the study of lifetime. You
ought to see the May number of our Magazine
We have designs in it that will take the
hearts of the ladies by storm. They do not
get a new dress made up every day, and
can tell you it is an important item to get
the best magazine, and the very latest and
most exquisite Paris styles, and haye il
fashioned like the one that is best suited to
their figure"

The Plot ThickenS.

The intelligent Cumberland CORES
pondent of the Baltimore Sun writes:
Frostburg is the second city of AilegaRy
county, and is go-ahead place.
This is doubtless another strain on
Mr.. Mayors credulity which the
Homecoming Star will not be able to
forgive.
If Mr.. Porter will come along now
and sustain our committee on resoiu-
tions and the Sun man, perhaps the
indefinite Scriptural statement of the
mature of sin that is objectionable
may be at last determined.
If so, Porter will be landed head
foremost in the meringue.

II. Remove all large stones, blocks
of wood and other distractions used
for dlverting the traffic. at nightfall, or
the consequences may be serious.
ID. Neuer put stone on q road for re-
pairing purposes that ,oW not pass freely II,
ecery direction through tscO-inch ring,
and remember that still smaller stones
should be used for patching and for
all slight repairs.
IA. Recoliect that hard stone should
be broken to finer guage than soft,
but that the two-inch guage is the
largest that should be employed Mde,'
any circumstances where no steam roller
is employed.
10. Never be without your ring
guage. 1t should be to the roadsman
what the compass is to the mariner.
l6. If you have no ring-gauge, re-
member MacAdam's advice, that any
stone you cannot put easily into your
mouth should be broken smaller.
II. Use chips, if possible, for binding
newly-laid stones together, and re-
member that road-swcepings, horse
droppings, sods of grass and other
rubbish, when used for this purpose,
will ruin the best road in creation.
Is. Remember that water-worn or
rounded stones should never be used
upon steep gradients, or they will fail
to bind together.
10. Never allow dust or mud to lie
on the surface of the road, for either
of these will double the cost of main
tenance.
20, Recollect dust becomes mud at
the first shower, and that mud forms a
wet blanket which will keeI road in a
filthy condition for weeks at a time,
instead of allowing it to dry in few
hours.
81. See that all sweepings and scrap
ings are put into heaps and carted
away Immediately.
y. Remember that the middle of the
road should always be little higher
than the sides, so that the rain may
run into the side cutters at once.
%. Never allow the water-tables,
cutters and bitches to clog up, but
keep them clear the whole year
through.
"A. Always be upon your road in
wet weather, and at once fill up with
"chips' any hollows or ruts where the
rain may lie.
%. When the main coatings of stone
have worn in, go over the whole road,
and, gathering together all the loose
stones, return them to the stone heap
for use in the winter to follow for
loose stones are a source and annoy
ance, and should never be allowed to
lie on any road.

MINING JOURNAL.
The Highest of All Taxes.

Berryville, Va, has contracted for a
gravity system of water works to cost
$50, 200, and the people are making a
great ado over the proposed accession
as an inducement for everybody to
leave everywhere else and go there
and engage in manufactures.
In boom sense there is nothing re-
markable about the Berryville speci-
men of local enthusiasm, but when the
JOURNAL considers that the place is
not one-third the size of FrOstburg, it
wonders what is the matter with this
town as cynosure Of small industries.
There are several basic elements here
that Berryville has not and never can
have, and yet Berryvllle's talk is hav-
ing fine effect.
On the other hand, Frostburg, under
the inspiration and leadership of ad-
herents of the water company, is
squirming with apprehension over the
fear that mistakes have been made in
the provision to supply the towns first
and greatest indispensable need.
Hence, the effect of our policy of
picayune division on every question
of proposed public improvement, in
the absence of any effort whatever to
get industries to locate here, is to scare
off those that might happen to want to
come.
Gentlemen, individual and business
iealousies are costing us an meal
culable amount of money and all the
qualification that growth and pros
perity carry in their train.

Among these were the proceedings
of the first court held in this county

inaugurates the second. century of the
county's judicial history.

objection Which Lasts.

The chief objection to laying a
branch railroad into town appears to
be that its operation will consume
at least another hour of the com
pany's time every day.
So it is in every sphere of business
life. Time is becoming more and more
valuable. Better plead for money
than time.

Concerning Cheap Sugar.

Concerning Cneap sugar.
With 81 pounds tied in 81 parcels the
Stars theory is correct, not otherwise.-JouR-
NAL.
To overthrow this proposition the
Homecoming Star appends the follow
ing:
The best and only conclusive authority
upon this point says that
Nouns expressing number when preceded
by the definite article require singular verb,
otherwise the verb should be plural.
What 1.-THE best and only conclusive
authority" is does not appear, but it is
safe to affirm that his rule is not iron
clad. The definite article has but
little to do in this case. Suppose the
JOURNAL had written:
In Frostburg the 81 pounds is worth a
Wheel
Would it not have sounded absurd
The definite article could not have
been used without implying unity in
the shape of parcel or package.
But see the Stars analysis:
NOW lei us examine lne original sentence
as it appeared in the JOURNAL:
In Frostburg 81 pounds is worth a wheel.
1t will be seen that pounds" is not
preceded by the definite article" nor does
it mean particular dollars worth. 1t APP
plies alike, as the JOURNAL well knows, to a
dollars worth in the barrel as well as to a
dollars worth in one parcel or p parcels.
"a dollars worth in the barrel" is
never sold. The purchaser does not
buy 81 pounds in the barrel; that
amount is not sold until it is taken out
of the barrel and cannot be sold as 81
pounds until it is in shape to be. ex-
changed for the dollar.
Moreover, against this ''best and only
conclusive authority we will place
one of Billions Especial rules :"
], A collective noun expressing many as
one whole, has verb in the singular -
. But when it expresses many as in
dividuals, the verb must be plural.
The rule. 1t would seem, sustains
the Star.
But Bullion spoils the Stars notion
by observing that
To both parts of the rule there are also ex
ceptions, and IN some cases it seems indifferent
whether the verb be in the singular OF
plural.
The question in the present case
then, comes up-who enjoys the best
right to determine the grammatical
accuracy of the sentence in dispute
the writer or the reader?
We have heretofore contended tina
the custom of putting up a dollar:
worth of sugar makes the number o
pounds so put up unit. IL vas thu
! custom and the parcel that was in thu
JorRsAE's mind when the sentence
was written. There was no though
of pounds as pounds in the % lcIlation
1t was, therefore, pre-eminently caa'
where ut seems Indifferent whethe
the verb be in tie singular or plural
form.
In conclusion, the Star deludes .tse,
with the notion that the JOURNAL is il
a hole.
Then it fraptically inquiries:
VIII it Ghe JoURNAD have the HiOfa
courage to acknowledge it?
Saints and ministers of grace !-ad
NIT a fib as the truth
Never.
