The Democrat complains that it
does not know what is meant by %
cent wool and cells for an explana-
ton.
If the Democrat will remember,
last spring it made the assertion
that our farmers were receiving but
% cents per pound for wool and
that it had purchased many hun
dreds of pounds from them at that
price, when in reality the farmers
were getting from rs to % cents
for their wool. The Democrat also
asserted that it had sold the wool
to our merchants.
We doubt that the Dem0cya,
bought any wool and disposed of it.
If it did 1t is a candidate for in.
dlctment before our grand jury. as
there is no record in the clerks Of
flee of it having procured traders
license, a necessary thing when a
person buys and sells for profit.
If the Democrat is before the grand
inquest it will either be compelled
to confess the statement male last
spring as false or take the conse-
quences, which is either a fine or
Imprisonment in the county Jail.
We think the best thing the DEM
0@rat can do in the case is to con-
fess that it did not buy any wool.

Want to Dissolve the COMPANY.

An order was signed by Judge
Dennis, in Baltimore Saturday, re-
quirlng all persons interested in the
Franklin Consolidated Coal COM
pany, which has property in this
and Allegany counties, as stock
holders, members or creditors, to
show cause by July ~ why the COM
pany should not be dissolved. The
dissolution was asked in a bill filed
by the company, through Fisher,
Bruce 4 Fisher, attorneys, in ac-
cordance with a resolution adopted
by the stock holders.
The bill states that difference of
opinion have arisen among the
stock holders as to the management
of the company, and that at re-
cent meeting two rival boards of
directors and two rival sets of Off
GERS were elected, both claiming to
be the rightful officers, and that
owing to the disagreement 1t is i'm
possible to further continue the
business. 1t is stated that the COM
pany is Largely indebted to the es-
tate Of James Boyce, and is unable
at present 10 pay the money and to
raise the necessary money to carry
on the business.
Statements filed with the bill
show that the assets of the company
are valued at $50, 1880, and the
liabilities are 1881 The
capital stock of the company con-
sists of $4,000 shares of 500 each,

Attempted Suicide.


CUMBERLAND, Nd, June 30
Last evening Samuel Price, aged
twenty-one years, attempted suicide
in the bathroom of the Elberon
Hotel. He used a pistol, and fired
two shots, one going through the
lapel of his coat and doingno harm
the other shot taking effect near
the heart and penetrating the lower
part of the left lung. The wound
could not be prob6d and may prove
fatal. just prior to the occurrence
Price was in his room with his wife
and seemed in the best Of spirits.
They both came ont of the room
in the third story of the hotel and
started downstairs to supper
When passing the bathroom Price
told his wife he would join her in
diningroom. When Mrs. Price de-
scended the next flight Of stairs
she heard the report of pistol and
turned back. A second shot fol-
lowed. and when she reached the
bathroom her husband lay upon
the floor with blood oozing from
his chest. The guests who were at
supper were then aroused, and DR.
L, II. Greenwich, Il physician who
boards at the hotel, hurried to
Prices side. Two other physicians
were summoned and the wound ex-
amined. When asked why he did
the deed, Price only said, because
| wanted to-" He was taken to
his room, where he still remains,
and although the physicians have
slight hopes of his recovery, he may
die at any time. Price is glass
blower by trade and is employed
in the South Cumberland Glass
Factory. lie came to Cumberland
three years ago from Rochester,
Pa, and has borne a good reputa-
ton. On May 30, 1898, he mar
RED Miss Emma Cochrane. of Cum
berland, and always seemed devoted
to her, their short period of mar
ried life being happy so far as can
be learned. The cause of the deed,
therefore remains mystery, but it
is limited that some misunderstand-
ing with his fellow-workmen had
recently caused him considerable
worry and drove him to drink and
incidental to suicide. He had been
drinking some before the attempted
suicide, but was not intoxicated at
the time.

The Picnic Season.

The days are here when the tired
housewife and restless young folk
will long for days outing in the
woods, and that will be the time
that the thought of a genuine old
time picnic will present itself with
urgent force, and no other style of
entertainment can be made to do
duty in its stead. There is some of
the gypsy in all our natures, and
this happy go-lucky camping out IN
some spot near to natures heart
fills the Domadic requirements and
responds to the longing for the un-
conventional and untrameled.
With this end in view, isn't 1t the
greatest sport to pack hamper
with luncheon, for appetites are
keener when the table is spread I'M
der the trees than if encompassed
by the walls of the everyday din
ingroom. s.
And what queer things consti-
tute that picnic repast; hard boiled
eggs, sandwiches, cold tea or coffee,
fruit and cake being the staples.
And how much better they taste
than the most elaborate meal laid
in fashionable restaurant or a social
dinner.
1t doesn't matter If spiders do
poke their inquisitive noses into
the layer of cake, or ants and cat
erpillars make excursions over the
ham sandwiches. Laughter rules
supreme the hour; the very leaves
on the trees murmur soothing and
pleasant thoughts and every con-
tretemps is but regarded as a part
of the DAYS enjoyment. The stalest
jokes sound new and bright, the
most stupid sayings become witty,
and pretty girl looks more charm
ing than ever before, while her
palmer sisters lose for the time be-
ing the consciousness that they are
not avowed beauties, and in the
golden sunshine act more naturally
and therefore more attractively than
in the conventional drawing room.
And after.it is all over, the walks,
the separating into couples, who
always manage to get lost, and the
merry washing of dishes as the sun
sinks to rest-what a feeling of con-
tentment comes to us all as they
drive home, after long day away
from the artificialities of city life,
and take up the broken thread with
bodies rested, eyes frightened and
hearts gladdened by few hours of
unconventionahty "far from the
maddening crowds ignoble strife"

would have led to fair exchange
and to larger exports"
There has been no relaxation of
the Protective principle" in the Re-
ciproclty treaties. Not a single
duty which protects home indus
try has been abrogated. Recipro-
city has simply brought about an
exchange in non-competitive prod
ucts. That is, when a treaty has
been made each of the contracting
nations has said to the other: owe
will facilitate the entry into our
markets of certain articles produced
by you and not by us" The aboli-
ton or reduction of duties on such
articles involves no surrender of the
Protective principle, but preserves
it intact.
The COurier-JOurnal thinks abso-
lutte Free Trade would be better
than Reciprocity, because it would
lead to larger exports. This seems
like a lame conclusion. Free Trade.
as distinguished from Reciprocity,
would be an invitation to all coun-
tries to send all their products to us
without payment of duty, and with
no requirement Of compensatine
privileges for US in foreign mark cts.
1t goes without saying that such a
policy would vastly swell the volume
of imports, and that the great guam
tity of goods thus brought in from
abroad would glut the market and
lessen the demand for home pro-
duction. But how would exports
be increased, with other countries
under no obligation to adjust their
Tariff systems for our benefit? An
American Free-Trade policy would
be a gratuity to the rest of the
world. and an impoverishment of
our own industrial interests. 1t is
well to remember, in this connec-
ton, Mr.. Blaine's anecdote, illus
trating the idea of increasing ex-
ports by letting in flood of COM
peting imports. In substance the
story was this: A farmer, wishing
to drain his meadow, dug a ditch
leading to river. He then dis
covered that the level of the river
was higher than that OF meadow.
1t is unnecessary to state which way

The Fourth of JULY.

The time is near when we shall
pass another milestone in our ma
toms history. This thought should
fill our hearts with gratitude and
joy; gratitude to our Revolutionary
fathers for their patriotism, and JOY
in the thought that We are free men
and women, breathing the free air
supplied by a bountiful and over
ruling Providence.
When we review the history of
our nation and see the trials through
which she has passed and the obsta-
Giles which she has overcome, our
hearts should bound with more ar
dent affections for her.
All nations have days which mean
much to their history-for the des-
tiny of nations have hung upon the
fate of single day.
The empire CT Alexander the
Great had its Granicus, that of
C@ser, its Rublcond, that of Napo-
leon Bonaparte It's Austerlitz and
England her Hastings.
Although the greater number of
these nations have persisted those
days still live and will continue to
live until the end of time. But no
day in any nations history is re-
membered with greater pleasure by
more hearts than the day upon
which our noble hearted ancestors
declared that on account of British
oppression we are and ought to be
ever free. Before that memorable
day the interests of colonists had
been hampered, their rights and
privileges had been restricted and
they were compelled to bear bur
dens as great as the people of Moses
in the olden time. But now free
dom's light had dawned upon them
and our nation was henceforth to
form a link in the worlds history.
and the result is that we are the
grandest nation in existence.
Our territory has been extended
from narrow strip bordering upon
the Atlantic until now we possess
1900, 600 square miles Of the best
land upon which the sun shines.
Its soil yields bounteously to the
hands of industry; 'its hidden re-
sources, when fully developed, be-
speak for our nation a glorious fu-
ture; our population has increased
and intellectually we have kept
pace with older nations; our man.

A Wonderful Tree.

Last Sunday we had the pleasure
of seeing that wonderful willow tree
at the Farmers hotel, in Grants
vile, Md. Mention of the said
tree has been made in The ,Star
heretofore, but no one can form
any idea of its magnitude without
seeing it. 1t is indeed wonderful
tree, and we doubt whether there
is a larger one IN thsTstate. 1t is
about Z feet in diameter at the
ground, and up in its branches,
which extend over an area equalled
by very few trees, a platform 2Ox3O
feet has been erected. A substan-
tlal stairway leads to the platform,
and when you have assembled you
find a snug railing all around you
and comfortable seats on which to
sit down and enjoy the delightful
breeze. There are also plenty of
branches to which swings and ham
mocks can be attached. The plat
form is large enough for dancing
and other amusements. 1t is a
favorite resort for Grantsville peo-
pie and visitors. and while we were
there we had the pleasure of eating
ice cream and cake up tree. The
enjoyment was shared with us by
l.. S. keim, p. S. Keim and Geo.
Green. We were royalty enter

ufacturies and mechanic arts have

During revolutionary times the
farm house was manufactory of
all the articles of daily use: Cloths,
hats, shoes and harness were manu-
featured at home. The old flint
lock rifle was used; grain and grass
was cut by the sickle and scythe;
oxen trod out the grain or it was
threshed with the fail, but with
freedom came wonderful develop
ments. The sewing machine, the

other things that minister to our

idea of popular education has adj
vanced and now the bell of the free

the year 10000, 900 children. Our
literary men are many and our lit
erature of the choisest. Our light
and civilization is pow reaching
other nations and elevating the peo-
pie from vice to virtuePnd morality.
In view of all these things which
have resulted ~fwsz ss-pesition

FREE WOOL FOLLY.
The Funny Fiction That 1t Helps a

Boston Commercial RnIlefin

The Funny Fiction That 1t Helps a
Home Industry to XIII it.
Boston Commercial Bulletin
"The exclusion of foreign wool
may reduce the demand for the do
mestic wool that would have been
mixed with it,
This argument is advanced again
by the combined wisdom of the
consolidated Nea1 York JOurnW of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin.
The demand from American
wooden mills last year was sufficient
to consume the entire American
clip and 168, 100000 pounds of for
wool into the bargain. The impor-
tatlon Of Australian and Cape woods
does not encourage American wool
it supplants it. There are blends
Of Australian and Territory, and Of
Australian and fleece, but the mills
that use them have substituted for
eign for native. They have not
added the use of native to the use
of foreign woods. The foreign
mills which produce competing
goods do not use Americal woods at
all. If they needed them they
would buy them to secure finish as
they buy certain grades of Austria
han lambs wool as fabulous prices.
The Ohio grower IS tolerably
happy when his Xxx sells on a
secured basis Of 81 cents. The
Montana man is equally so when
his fine staple brings 81 cents clean
Foreign wool competing with
these two grades sells in London at
fifty cents and forty cents respect
lively. Is there any man insane
enough to believe that the increased
consumption Of wool, which can be
grown at profit at from ten to
twenty cents a secured pound less
than American wool, is likely to in
crease the demand for American as
an adulterant ut Il higher price than
the foreign fleece?
Free wool means the destruction
of wool growing in the United
States. We shah continue to breed
and grow mutton sheep as in Eng
land, and the growers will sell the
by-product, Glass . not Glass l
wool, for what they can get for it.
The exceptional increase in the
foreign clips of 1892, the consequent
drop in prices, encouraged the IN
creased use Of foreign wool. In
1891 weimported 81, 900, 00Opounds
of clothing wool In 1892 we i'm
ported 51,000,000 pounds. This
increased importation of foreign
wool certainly did not increase the
average price Of American.
In June, 1891. Michigan x sold
at 2Sc; in June, 1892, at &c cents
The drop in value of secured ter
ritory wool in one year has not been
less than II cents the pound.
The actual increase of imports of
foreign wool for this mysterious
mixing is only little less effective
in breaking the market for the
American fleece than the prospec-
tive free wool condition, that is sup
posed to be ahaed of us.

Profitable HOeinp.

The other morning as j. NJ.
Cook, formerly of Woodland, but
who is now farming on the ranch
of W. M. McGmff, about one mile
below Knights Landing, was en-
gagged in hoeing potatoes. he un-
earthed half dollar. and after a
short while be uncovered another
coin of like denomination. Believ-
ing that there might be more in the
vicinity, he abandoned all thought
of potatoes and turned his atten-
ton to a search for n3ofeeoin. BY
digging to a depth of about two
feet he was rewarded by his hoe
striking some metallic substance,
and upon seeking the cause he
found a veritable gold mile, for in
an almost compact body, there lay
before him four $50 gold pieces,
one $40 piece and $3.50 in silver,
making the total amount Of his
find $3.50. Mr.. Cook immedi-
ately declared the remainder Of the
day a holiday, and came to this
city, feeling quite elated over his
fortunate discovery. He informed
a reporter that the entire ground
on which the money was found was
less than six feet in extent, and
that none of the coins were of later
date than 1870 He also announced
his intention of resuming the
search upon his arrival at home.
The mystery is how came the coins
there?-Woodlan Democrat.
