bad enough to have freplugs whose
dingii must be turned the wrong way
to get the water out the right way, but
to have none at all is awful. At least
three plugs wanted up there right
away.
Discouraging accounts of the state
of practical religion reach us from
New England. President Hyde, of
Bowdoin college, has shown, for in
stance, that in Is counties of Name
about half the people go to church and
the other half fishing. What a bless
ed satisfaction it is to turn from the
restitution of these spiritual wilder
nesses to Frostburg, Md, where 95 per
cent. of the girls go to Sunday school +;
also 80 per cent. of the boys. In this
connection it is proper to state that
there is no water here to fish in.
1t looks like the Midlothian Carlos
mail schedule was fixed to suit the
convenience of Dennis Jones, the
carrier, and not to supply the people
over there with the latest mail.
Mejams calls it "a rather lame ex-
cuse." And yet he can't overtake it.
Call the yaller dog.
The fine picture of the M. E. church
and parsonage exhibited in The
Hitchins Bros. Co.'S store is a sample
Of C. O. Towles' work. 1t is gem.
President Cleveland's rheumatism
recalls a conundrum, the answer to
which involves a dreadful freak of
grammatical construction, namely
what is the difference between Cum
berland Ne'cs reporter who has the
rheumatism and prize-fghter who
has been interviewed Onels busted
up writer and the other writed up
buster. Ten minutes for refreshments,

People, the fire of Wednesday was
an argument made directly by Provi-
dence that the pump should be here.
In fact, it was Divine admonition to
get it here soon. place it in position
and put it to work. Otherwise, we
are in momentary danger of a great
calamity.
Look at Collector SCOTS notice

A Frosthurg reporter, standing at
the head of Baltimore street, Cumber-
land, Tuesday evening, writes that
from his outlook the comet was in
visible from the observatory of the
Ledger office. He had probably made
the mistake Of looking through beer
glass instead of a telescope.
The firemen get no end of praise for
their perfect work on Wednesday.
Their disregard of their personal com
fort and safety was conspicuously eff
fectual in stopping the fire just where
it began. Mrs. Wright and DR.. A.
B. Price did a just and grace I'll
act, therefore, in acknowledging their
disinterested work and exposure by a
treat Wednesday evening. Mean
while, let the people not forget what
they owe to the new water works, but
for which all the firemen in the uni
verse could not have stayed the blaze
of Wednesday evening.
Bricklayers will soon begin work at
the new schoolhouse.
What property-owner in Frostburg
would have the town take $4,000 for
the new water system and do without
1t? For now is a good time for him to
make a botanical display of all the
spunk that is growing wild amid the
well cultivated mossbeds in the garden
on his back.
The burned horse was killed Thurs
day morning.
Reports concerning Charles F. Sui
livan's fatal injury in a Chicago fire
conflict. The last is
He was not hurt at ALL
Which is the best of all,
as Charlie himself would state it.
A printing suspect was here Tues
day. He had been reading the Cum
berland Times and incidentally inferred
therefrom that the daily newspaper
we are temporarily having was not
filling the bill. The JOURNAL told
him "if there is one thing the town
needs more than an another transient
daily it is one more grocery store to be
run this time by a bloody shirt dem
ocrat.
A man came IN this Office Thursday
explaining that "some of the opposi-
ton to the new water system were in a
hole yesterday afternoon. They want
ed their property saved, but seemed to
despise the fact that they had to rely
at last on the hated new system for the
plan, machinery and power of saliva
ton" The JOURNAL ordered him to
get right out of these headquarters, OF
the great paper would fling him broad
side against the brick wall on the other
side of Cyclone alley. Nobody is OPP
posed to the new water now-except
those who haven't paid the special tax
And they will be loya. just as soon as
court announces that they are licked
