The Coal Trade.

Shipments of coal from the mines of
the Georges Creek coal region were
in long tons
For week ending Aug. 27. lS92...... 1882

Decrease compared with last year,. 4l0,04
The latest news from the New York
market is cleaned as follows:
The btuminous coal trade is becoming
brisk, as is usual at this time of the year, but
it is badly fettered by the great scarcity of
cars. The railroads offera totally inadequate
freight service to the majority of bituminous
producers and the consequence is that the
production is not anywhere equal to the
amount of business offered In the Cumber
land district the mine,owners complain very
much of this enforced restriction of the out
put and claim that they could do double the
business if only the railroads would place the
necessary cars at their disposal. At Phila-
delphia coal is quite scarce on account of this
blockade of cars and vessels are plentiful.
The consequence is that freights are low

Where the Fashions come From.

Where the Fashions come From.
Fashion is called "fickle jade and yet
nearly every style is designed with some
special object in view. Often the manufac-
turer has created some new material which
he intends to place before the merchant; to
make the best impression possible he has
samples Of the new material placed with some
of the best modists whose special designers
will study the goods, its color and materials.
While experimenting with the matGriel they
create some new style to attract attention;
these designs are reproduced in colored plates
and sent to all prominent dealers togive them
an idea of the value of the new material If
these styles are liked they become the
fashion.

\ Useless PRAYER.

The JOURNAL intimated IN original
terms that the Cumberland Independent
snored in its sleep,
Whereat it retorted in echoic help
lessness-''you're another" implying
also a disposition to kick in its sleep.
But it is useless for the independent
tc attempt to criminate itself as guilty
of insomnia, nor can it proceed on the
assumption that, being always in a
doze itself, all the other papers are
nodding.
Nor can it nationally, or wakefully
indulge the following reverie and
prayer:
A house of sleepers-I, alone unblest-
Am yet awake and empty vigil keep
When these, who spend life's day with me,
find rest,
Oh, let me not be last to fall asleep!

ItSOwn Reward.

The water through the new system
holds out grandly. its most devout
friends are delightedly astounded at
it's entire success in meeting strain
never contemplated by even the most
lugubrious skeptic of its efficiency.
While other towns are puzzling over
the vital problem, Frostburg has
mastered 1t, and like the attentive and
diligent Investigator of "the perfect
law of liberty, is blessedin its deed"
1t Would Not be an Unmixed EVIL.

Better than Arbitration.

Why have not labor organiza-
tons and legislatures, that have
wrestled with the fallacious idea of
arbitration as sure cure for any
given dispute between capital and
labor, never thought Of the Golden
Rule as entirely comprehending pre-
gention of such differences as well as
cure?
500 unto others as you would have
others do unto YOU is a command
which embodies "all the law and the
prophets of industrial and economic
reform, and it can be enforced just as
easily as the finding of a board of
arbitration.

Cntimely Haste at Barton.

There appears to be a little kick at
Barton oyer the precedence given to
Homecoming as q Situs for another new
schoolhouse, and Westernport is in
stanced as having been fortunate be
yond its deserts in this regard.
If the Barton people will look deep
enough into comparisons they will find
that in the matter of salaries and num-
Der Of teachers employed Westernport
is regular "happy valley of favored
educational facilities.
AS the JOURNAL understands it, the
Westernport faculty gets nearly as
much if not more pay for $50 pupils
than Homecoming for nearly or quite
600.
SO Barton people should permit
Homecoming to catch up with Western
port in some way.

Religious.

Superintendent Porter of the Nation
al Census, in recent address at As
bury Park on the religious statistics
of the country stated that there were
in the United States nearly $50 dis
tinct churches organized with widely
differing creeds. Some of these be-
fore the last census had never "stood
up to be counted or had distinctive
names, SIMPLY calling themselves
''Brethren." The country is indebted
to Superintendent Porter for the in
formation that there is denomina-
ton called the "Mudhead Baptists.'
The appellation has heretofore been
supposed to belong only to politicians

Reunion of Old Sailors and Soldiers

Two coming important events of in
terest to sailors and soldiers of the late
war will be the reunion of the Naval
Veterans at Baltimore, September 18th
to 10Th, and the Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Wash
ington, commencing September Goth,
Immediately after the Sailors Re-
union. Interest in the reunion will be
heightened by the presence Of the
White Squadron in the harbor of Bal
timore. The G. A. r. encampment
will be the occasion of the greatest
military assemblage in Washington
since the grand review in 1865, follow
ing the fall of Richmond. For both
of these events the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad will sell tickets at greatly re-
duced rates, and will grant most lib
eral concessions in the way of stop
over privileges. Tickets will be sold
from Sept. 18th to Goth, inclusive, valid
for return journey until October 10th,
and will be good to stop off, going or
returning, at all stations between
Cumberland and Baltimore region
rendered familiar to all veterans by
the constant warfare along the Pc
tomac.

Became Insane at Mass.

Last Sunday in the Catholic church
of the Sacred Heart at Mt. Washing
ton, this State, Rev. D. c. DeWulf,
pastor, formerly of Frostburg, Miss
Jennie O'Connell, worshipper, be-
came suddenly and violently insane at
the s o'clock Mass. The congregation
was thrown into confusion. With some
difficulty she was gotten out of the
church and taken to Baltimore. The
american, from which the above is con
densed, says:
Father DeWulf had like experience with
an insane woman some years ago when pastor
of another small Catholic church in the
western part of Maryland. While he was
celebrating high mass woman deliberately
left her pew, walked up the aisle, and took
a seat within the sanctuary rail. Requests
to vacate had no effect, and She too, had to
be carried from the church.

Connecting Masters.

Last week the people of Baltimore
enjoyed a kindergarten lesson in
arbitration.
Five of the most prominent gentle
men in the city met to settle the
garment makers strike.
C. F. Reichers, federated labor man,
and the effulgent Schonfarber, con-
federated knight of the master order
of the North American nobility,
claimed to represent, respectively, one
of the concentrating guilds, of whom
there seem to be more than there are
principalities in the German empire.
But Reichers disputed Schonfarber's
claim and wrangle ensued, for
if there is anything Schonfarber
hates it is an impeachment of his
authority as Woodworking chevalier.
Hence, the committee of arbitration
could not make an effort to endeavor
to essay an attempt to try and under
take to even begin to arbitrate the
trouble-a collapse which induced the
president of the board to say with
great disgust that
Messrs. Schonfarber and Rechers must
agree upon the points to be arbtrated when
the committee would be ready to hear their
views at is shameful condition that poor
persons are kept from work and are in WANT
Here are the chosen spirits of So
called Acknowledgements of arbitration,
who cannot even "agree upon the
points to be arbitrated' in a given
case.
What would-what could such chiefs
do in the way of compelling their
deluded followers to abide by the
findings of arbitration?
Go to, we blind leaders of the Blind

ChamDaiSn Thoughts.

You have a right to bet, If you
choose; but be careful how you choose
if you bet.
The voter whose enthusiasm runs 20
badges and buttons has no time to
study the tariff question.
If most folks were deaf, the loudest
takers would command the most
attention. The drum is the loudest
instrument, because it contains the
most empty space.-Puck.

Correct tOa Fault,

you see it in the JOURNAL it's bad gram
mar.-Lonaconing Star.
That's so. We will copy sample,
for instance:
The world did not cease to revolve nor the
sun to shine when the Ledgcr asked for a new
county, nor has anyone broken their neck in
the endeavor to accommodate it.-Lona-
coming Star.
The italics are ours, showing that,
unlike the JOURNALS breaks, the
Stars idea of a. plurality Of necks,
for instance, on single individual
was not an Intentional give-away.
Here is another:
If Frostburg wins, the umpire is a gem.
lfthey lose, he is no good. But it was ever
thus-up there.
The Star did not mean to confuse
its readers by making Frostburg sing
ular in the first clause and plural in
the second.
No, it only meant to be a little mean
in the matter of a Homecoming umpire,
but not mean in grammar.

People somewhere IN the neighbol-
hood of Pekin, tired of stepping across

separate polling-place for Braces

the corollary that the Cumberland In

For one thing is certain-the Ledger
is confessedly mot an organ

More Probably than Not.

With the county footing the bills,
Cumberland can afford to hold
water bond election every other week.

Nearly So.

The JOURNAL has been asked why
it did not answer the question of the
Midland Taxpayer" last week con-
corning the intention of the law pro-
viding for free scholarships.
The great paper had not time.
1t will say now, however, that the
design of the law in that respect, as in
all respects, is to benefit the mass of
children.
But in that, as in others, it is per-
verified, forgotten and ignored in the
races to handle the money, to hold the
Offices and subserye the conveniences
of teachers.
The interests Of tie children, the primary
beneiciaries of the system, are the
very last considerations that enter into
the scheme.
And frequently they are never
thought of at all.
Hence, the system, as designed, is
within the 10th of an inch of being a
sprawling failure.
