Death of M. w. Lam bert.

Many of the people of Oakland
will remember Mr.. Michael W.
Lambert, whose suicide at Atlantic
City on Sunday last has been an
nounced. Mr.. Lam bert was at one
time manager of the Queen City
hotel in Cumberland. He was also
in charge of the B. & 0. hotel at
Oakland, and after leaving the
employ of the railroad company

Cumberland for awhile. He was
widely known, and had a host of
friends.
He became the victim of misfor-
tune, and in a fit of dependency at
losing his position as night clerk at
a hotel in Atlantic City, took dose
of laudanum and ended his life at
the age of ffty-seven years. He
was originally from New York.

A New Church

On Tuesday last, in the presence
OF large concourse of people, the
new Catholic church at Gormania
was opened for divine worship.
Father Kelley, of Harpers Ferry,
W. Va, conducted the service.
assisted by Fathers McKeefey, of
Martinsburg; Stanton, of Lonaco-
ming; lehman, of Thomas, and
Drake, of Keyser.
The sermon was delivered by
Father McKeefey in his usual happy
and pleasing style. Father STAN
ton. at the request of the pastor,
spoke briefly and earnestly on the
virtue of temperance as exemplifed
in the life of the patron of the new
church-St. John the Baptist.
st. Johns is one of the neatest
and most convenient churches on
the Potomac above Piedmont. Cor
mania is a beautiful town at the
junction of North West Grade and
the West Virginia Central railroads.
Plenty of lumber, bark, coal and
farming land in its vicinity insure
it prosperous future. The Messrs.
Hoffman & Sons have one of their
extensive tanneries here and give
steady employment to many skilled
tanners, whose houses dot the hill
sides in this beautiful mountain
settlement.

Oats.

One day last week Mr.. A. j..
Harne brought to this Office a guam
tity of oats which he raised on the
Bradley farm near town. From
the roots to the top of the oats they
measured just six feet. Mr.. Harne
is an old Washington county farmer
and evidently knows how to get a
good crop of grain.
Justice James A. Delawder also
exhibited to us bunch of oats raised
on Mr.. W. T. Jameson farm op-
posite Mountain Lake Park. These
oats are very heavy and will thash
at least seyenty-five bushels to the
acre. The stalk to the top of the
heads measures sixty inches, forty
inches straw and twenty inches
grain.

How to Fry Oysters.

If YOU were to ask any dozen good
Americans what their favorite lunch
consisted of, at least 10 of them would
answer promptly and unhesitatingly,
Hot fried oysters"
In the first place, avoid cracker
crumbs. They are pastry and will
make a hard outer she'll around the
oyster that will, in the beginning, re-
move any possibility of success. In.
stead, put stale bread into the oven to
dry, and after it is thoroughly dry
and hard CRATE it fine and keep the
crumbs in a glass jar, so that if any
are left they can be kept for future
use.
Then beat together an egg and
cup OF sweet milk, seasoning with salt,
pepper and, il liked, little Worcester
sauce. Be sure not to beat the egg
separately. Dip the oysters first in
their own liquid, then in the crumbs,
then in the egg and milk and lastly
in the crumbs again. Then comes the
actual frying. which is the crucial
point. The secret of success is to have
plenty Of fat and have it boiling hot.
The oysters should be immersed but
a minute or two, just long enough 10
brown tkem delicately ON both sides.
\ wire eggwhip makes :. good turner
After frying lay them in brown paper
to absorb the grease that may he in
them. Remember that too much
cooking will make the finest oyster
tough aud generally unpleasant. If
these directions are carefully followed
the oysters will be plump and delic-
ious. Large oysters are not especially
desirable except for looks. The small
ones taste just as good. Cooks in res
,aurants have trick OF putting two
small ones together in dipping" be-

The brethren again called her atten-

that il she did not keep quiet they
would be compelled to remove her.
The sermon proceeded, and the old
lady becoming very happy, and for
grtiul OF her surroundings. shouted
out GLORY to God = This was too
much for the brethren, and they tried
to lead her out bnt she refused TO

4 Rather Mean Man.

The Battle
....In Delaware.
Both Sides are Tiring of the
Long Drawn Deadlock. No
solution Yet i'm Sight.

There is a growing belief that j.
Edward Addicks is in dead earnest in
his repeated declarations that it Twill
be Addicks or nobody" With his six
votes he can absolutely prevent the
Republicans from electing anyone else,
unless they bid for Democratic sup
port by voting ior Il Democrat, which
i, of course, too improbable to be con-
sidered. No Democratic votes will
ever he given to enable the Repub-
licans to break the deadlock bv the
election of Republican. The Re
publica" members, therefore, are prac-
tically held up by Addicks, and can
do nothing so long as he holds his
present attitdde
For the first time last week there
was an absence Of the outward hope
fulness that marked the demeanor Of
the Higgins shouters, who had been
confidently predicting his election
from the first. 1t was as though they
tacitly admitted what has been appar.
ent to all others for several weeks, and
that is that Higgins chances of sue
cess were practically hopeless. Nor is
it considered probable that Addicks
can bulldoze the Republican members
into giving him the prize. Unless
there is an agreement OF the warrin.
factions upon compromise candidate,
there will he no election o. United
States Senator at this session.
WHAT Is HOPED FOR.
The Higgins people do not view
this con tingency with such forebod-
ings as they did at first They would
look to Governor Marvel to appoint
Higgins to the vacancy, and trust to
the Senate to reverse the precedent
laid down in the Washington, Idaho
and Montana cases. and recognize the
right Of the Governor TO appoint.
And with the prestige of still being a
Senator, they would look more hope
fully upon the struggle that Higgins
would have to go through with Ad-
dicks in the party primaries preceding
the next campaign.
