Water Works for Oakland.

The subject of water works for
this town has been discussed lately
by parties IN Oakland who are large
property owners and who advocate
a system of water works that will be
of service at any and all times. At
an expense of few thousand dol
lars Oakland could be supplied with
pure mountain water drawn from
bored wells and pumped to an ele-
waited spot near the town and by
gravity forced over the highest
building here.
The necessity for such service
has been acknowledged by those
who have opposed the project but 1t
has been apparent for some time
that unless some measures are taken
for fire protection the whole town
will be swept from the face of the
earth.

of Miss Lizzie Genoski which oc-
Cured on the 10th inst. at Davis,
W. Va, of typhoid fever. Miss
Lizzie was a daughter of Charles
Genoskl, who resides near the Red

Miss Lizzie was very bright and
intelligent young lady, of excellent
christian qualities. having given
her heart to God some years past

In her death the community loses
a good girl and true friend and
the church loses a good member.
The large concourse of people who
assembled to pay their last sad re-
spects to her memory showed how
highly she was respected during life.
The bereaved family have the sym

Death of Father Weider.

hUAgoA yOouoiudJ ncN' III ~
Brennan, pastor of st. Patrick's
church, this city, received a dis
patch announcing the death of that
popular clergyman, Rev Peter
Weider, of Westernport. The par
ticulars of the death could not be
learned last night beyond the fact
that Father Weider died in Balti-
more Saturday night of cousump-
ton.
Several months ago the eloquent
priest s health began failing rapidly
and be became aware that his life
was speedily drawing to a close.
Repeated messages from the cardinal
invited Father Weider to 60 to
BsstEafore wEere expert medical at
tention and skillful nursing nigh t
prolong his life, but to the kind
solicitations he replied in substance
that he preferred to remain until
the last in that portion of Gods
vineyard which had been assigned
to his care, and IN which he had
labored for the past nine years.
He wanted to Gle in Westernport.
About three weeks ago, however,
he consented to 60 to Baltimore,
and since that time no hope of his
return to Allegany county has been
entertained.
Father Weider was native of
Baltimore city, and was about 45
years old. HIS father was mer-
chant of that city, until the time of
his death, several years ago.
Shortly after his ordination to the
priesthood, the Rev. Weider was
pastor of the Catholic church at
Hancock where he remained for
about five years. In October, 1886,
the transfer Of Rev. NJ. J. Bremen
to Cumberland, left a vacancy in
Westernport, and ReY. Weider was
assigned to that place. He was an
eloquent man with liberal views on
all subjects, and he speedily grew in
popularity among all classes of
people. He possessed kind gen.
erous heart and in the town OF
Westernport the sick and the needy
of all persuasions were comforted
by his charity.
He was a fine orator and has sew
eral times made hosts of admirers
by addresses delivered at civic ccle-
brations in Allegany county.
The only surviving member of
the immediate family of the dead
priest is his mother, an aged lady
of Baltimore. The funeral will
probably take place in Baltimore.

Because of Texas Fever.

Governor Brown has issued a
proclamation prohibiting the i'm
portation of cattle into Mary yland
from sections south of line estab-
lished by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, beginning on
the northern border of Texas, ex-
tending northeast along the boun-
daries of Indian Territory, Arkansas
Mississippi, Tennessee and North
Carolina into Virginia; thence
in the latter state, along the south
ern bounds of Orange, Albemarle,
Green, Nelson and Amherst coun-
ties; thence directly east to the
coast. The cause of the proclama-
ton is the prevalence of Texas fever
south of the line named.

Revival of Wayside Inns.


The invention and general use of
the bicycle is bringing about many
changes. The making of good
roads is one of the most important
of them, and as good roads are
made bicycling will be promoted,
and this will probably revive the
old wayslde inn, which disappeared
from this country and England
with stage coaches. In England it
is said that this has already taken
place. A newspaper correspondent
writes that on the splendid road
from Stratford to Coventry, which is
an ideal road for cycling, the way
side inns appeal for the patronage of
the wheelmen by..slgns offering them
special accommodations. Women,
he says appear on this road almost
as frequently as men, but seldom
Sin the French masquerade OF
divided skirts or breeches. He
adds that great many American
tourists make their holiday journeys
through England on wheels, avoid
ing railway expenses and ambitious
hotels and lodging comfortably at
the village inns. This not only
saves expenses, but gives the tour
ist an opportunity to learn some
thing about the country and the
people, which is impossible when
he rushes through on express trains
and lives at the great hotels, where
most of the people he meets are
foreigners like himself.

the st. Clair River thirteen miles long.

emily located far above tho earth. Tho
most wonderful part of the spectacle
was the arrival of train in Sarnia.
This train appeared to break into

solid foundation, and then completely
disappeared at the western end of the
sky picture. The mirage lasted forty

A Loaf Barred Twenty-Five Years.

Twenty-Five years ago Timothy
Monahan, of Bath, Steuben County,
purchased farm near Portage Bridge.
He has lived on the farm ever since.
On part of the property was piece OF
heavy timber, which Monahan cleared
Off twenty years ago. In q field where
this timber stood Monohan was dig
ging ditch few days ago. To do
this he had to dig through u deposit
OF gravel four feet deep. At that
depth he uncovered what he at first
thought was big stone nearly round,
but on striking it with his pick to
loosen it he was surprised to soc the
pick pass clear through it without
making any resistance. Monahan
then picked up the supposed stone
and his amazement was great to find
it TO be loaf of bread. The leaf was
in perfect condition, even to the crisp,
brown crust. 1t was as soft, light
and moist inside as if it had just como
from the oven. Tho loaf broke in two
as he was removing it from its bed in
the gravel. He fed half of it to his
dog, who ate it greedily. The other
half OF the loaf Monahan carried to
his house, where it is now, wonder
to the neighborhood Monahan de.
clares that the ground where the loaf
was found had never been broken dur.
ing his quarter of century on tho
place. IN. ~ Times.

Signs of q Wet Year.

P. Y. Baker, of Traver, made trip
to Fanoche grade last week, and on his
return told Of some weather signs
pointed out to him by an old Mexican
Of that section. The Mexican showed
him q number Of tarantula nests that
were built in an unusual manner.
The tarantula digs or appropriates
hole six or eight inches deep and
nearly an inch in diameter. He then
makes o cement wall from bottom to
top Of the hole and about sixteenth
OF an inch thick. On tho top ho fits
lid so nicely that when it is closed tho
nest is impervious to tho clements.
His spidership raises and lowers the
roof Of his mansion by means of fiber
hinge, which he has deftiy placed on
one side.
The walls are always built up half an
inch above the ground, but the pecu-
liarity about them this year is that they
are built up four or five inches above
the surface of the ground on which
they are located.
This is one Of the many instances
that have been observed in which ani-
mails have been prompted by instinct
to protect themselves against incle-
ment weather, and il is regarded as an
unfailing sign of very wet SEASON.

Advice About Saws.

A sawmaker has this advice to give
to carpenters in tho selection of saw
'See that it hangs right. Grasp it
by the handle and hold it in position
for working to see if the handle fits
the hand properly. A handle should
be symmetrical and the lines perfect
Many handles ore made of green
wood; they soon shrink and become
loose, the screws standing above the
wood. An unseasoned handle is liable
to warp and throw the saw out OF
shape. Try the blade by springing it,
seeing that 1t bends evenly from point
to butt in proportion as the width and
gauge of tho saw vary. Tho blade

more labor to use 1t. The thinner you

less 'kerf' and takes less muscle to

What q Man Can DO.

Men regard with admiring wonder
the career Of Napoleon, Bismarck,
Gladstone, an Agassiz or nn Edison,
but they do not seem to realize what
can be done by concentrated and
persistent human will power and
energy.
A recently published biography Of
Daniel Defoe is the story of the life OF
q man who made his mark as mer.
chant, manufacturer, traveller, politi-
clan, polemic, journalist, poet, satirist
and novelist.
This restlessly active and energetic
mortal left more than two hundred
and fifty printed works, and two of
them, by common consent, are master
pieces of literature that will last as
long as tho English language is
spoken.
His was checked career-now, the
favorite of one ministry; disgraced
and punished by another like com.
mon criminal; the master one day of
princely mansion, and hiding from
his creditors the next.
According to his own statement,
Defoe was in his lifetime "thirteen
times rich and poor" record not up,
preached by any great speculator of
our day. Sometimes we hear of man
who has made three fortunes, but we
rarely ever hear of q man who has
gone beyond that limit, and certainly
no man of this generation has been
thirteen times rich and poor, fortu-
nate and unfortunate in politics, and
the author Of $50 books, besides show
ing ability as manufacturer, mer-
chant, traveller. polemic, journalist,
poet, satirist and novelist.
Talk about versatillty-Defoe beats
them oil The mere outline of such q
career should encourage and stimulate
those who complain that they are ham
percd by circumstances. If Defoe
could do what he did, cannot the
average man of pluck, energy and de.
termination accomplish at least one.

The Value of Stamps.

The great increase in the prices of
the stamps OF this country, as will be
shown by the new stamp catalogue,
has created q heavy demand for them,
collectors being anxious to get what
stamps they lack before the new prices
go into effect. Whilo some specimens
remain nt the old prices, others have
doubled, the average increase on the
adhesives being about twenty-five ror
cent.
1t was expected that nino new
stamps would be issued in China on
the sixtieth anniversary Of tho EN-.
press-Dowagor's birthday. 1t is un
derstood that tho stamps will take the
place of the previous issue and be Of
two sizes.
Five new stamps have been issued
for use between Fcz and Sepro, IN
Morocco, the values being five, tel
twenty-five and fifty centimes and r-,e
franc.
Mexico has issued four new varieties
of envelopes, the four and ten cen.
tavoes on white laid paper and five

Until recently many collectors in
this country were in the habit of buy
ing United States stamps from Eng
land, where they could be purchased
at much lower prices than here. Af-
fairs have changed now, and fine
specimens of the old issues of this
country, and especially the rare do.
partment stamps, such as Executive,
Justice. State and Navy, win now
bring higher prices in London than
can be obtained in New York.
A new set of adhesive stamps is con.
templated for the Bahamas.

in favor lately that it is now regular
