From Frederick to Washington in
Quick Time.

There are great possibilities for
Frederick should we ever succeed in
securing the electric railway from
Frederick to Washington. Stranger
things have happened and after all
We may soon be flying along over "a
splendid electric road through a beau
tiful country to the capital of the ma.
ton. Just think Of what place
frederick would become should our
dreams of electric roads be realized.
Here in the heart of the great region
where the mostlmportant battles of the
late war were waged. Who of the
many thousands of brave men who
wore the blue and the grey but remem-
bers old Frederick-town? Through
our streets passed the veterans of both
armies on their way to the battles of
Antietan, TO Monocaey, to Harper's
Ferry, to South Mountain, to Cramp-
tons Gap and to the ever-tO-be-re-
membered Gettysburg. Here we
would find all the sght-seers who Wis.,
it Washington. Up through the val.
ley OF the glades or along the base of
the beautiful Catoctin, would our cleo
trio road be continued to Gettysburg,
which IL now one OF the most interest
ing excursion points in the world.
Now what would our people give to
have such road? Would they sub
scribe to the enterprise? Well we
shall see, for the chances are snch a
road will be built in the near future.
If the Grand Army should meet in
Baltimore next year what lot Of visi-
tors we would have over our new cleo
trio road, Think 1t over

When young tree does not grow
and the leaves are yellowish instead of
green, dig down to the roots and en-
deavof to discover II some insect or
parasite is not working underground.
Then dig away plenty of dirt and
drench the roots with strong soapsuds,
to which should be added few pounds
OF unbleached wood ashes, or put the
ashes in after drenching the roots. It
will not injure the tree, and may prove
OF great benefit

Charles Key, young colored lad,
residing near Liberty, was seriously
injured last week by being struck by a
fork thrown by Mr.. Chas. Repp, resi-
dent of Clemsonville. 1t is supposed
that the injury was the result of acct
dent rather than design. The sharp
point Of the fork penetrated the lungs
OF the colored boy and now he is dan
gerously i'll. Mr.. Kepp had been jok-
ing with Key and threw the fork ~

A Natural Gas Expert Makes Dis.
cOvery in Canada. - Canada Gets
the Services of Our Natural Gas
Expert and Gives Us, in Re-
turn, a Valuable Dis
cOveTy.

Natural gas has become 80 important a
factor in the increased facilities for cheaper
manufacturing that many have turned
from other vocations in life to study and
perfect the modes of transmitting it to our
larger cities, but out of the many who have
seen in 1t a great field for improvement
and taken up the subject, few, very few,
become experts, and only those of peculiar
adaptabilities can hope for success. Mr.
r. j. Driscoll, of Pittsburg, Pa, is one of
these favored few. In the Pennsylvania
oil regions he is well known, and the fame
of his ability at piping natural gas spread
to Canada. He was engaged by the On
tario Gas Company, to pipe gas for Wind
sor and Walkerville and while perform
ing this operation, which he successfully
accomplished, he made the discovery of a
remedy which he speaks of as follows
We give his story in his own words:
"I have been suffering with kidney
affliction which has troubled me more or
less for years. have tried many of the
remedies on the market for such com
plants without any relief During an en-
gagement with the Ontario Natural Gas
Company, while piping the city of Wind
sor for natural gas had the good fortune
to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills. pro-
cured some and commenced taking them
with the most beneficial results | have
not felt as well in years, and feel that it
Is all due to the agency of Doan's Kidney
Pills feel like new man, with an am
bition in life, and wish every success due
to such a wonderful medicine"

TAXATION IN FRANCE
A Republic Where Eztravagan
Expenditure PredOminates.
EVERY LUXURY CARRIES A TAX

Enormous Receipts and Expenditures
Which Make Our own burdens Seem
Trihing in Comparison-An Expensive
Army, Navy, Judiciary and Congress.
WASHINGTON, March "a People who
take exception to the income tax and the
few internal revenue taxes imposed in the
United States may take some satisfaction
In learning how much worse off are the
French in this respect as disclosed in q re-
port to the state department. by United
States Consul Wiley, at Bordeaux. He
shows that every form of legal paper,
checks, notes and documents, bills of lad
ing, even lithograph posters, must have a
revenue stamp affixed. From this source
the treasury draws its principal revenue,
amounting last year to S140, 100000. The
spirit and wine tax amounted to $120, 00O,
900. The custom house receipts were $780,,
OOOO OOO Tobacco, matches, playing cards
and other government monopolies yielded
Sl80,00O,0OO Sugar paid an internal reve-
nue. tax Of .O52 cents per pound-S29, ,000,-
600 in all. The land tax brought in $780,
100000 and personal property s2S 100000
If a clerk occupies hall room he pays a
tax of 81 per annum, while his landlady
not only has to pay for her poodle, but for
every door and window in the house AS
the treasury receives S12, 900 per an
mum for windows alone, the architect who
can design house with the least possible
amount of ventilation does the best busi-
ness. If you own horse, carriage, bill
lard table or bicycle you are taxed. The
government collects So, 400, 600 annually for
! permitting such luxuries to exist, and a
| bill was recently Introduced in the cham
| bers to tax the wearing of corsets Busi-
ness licenses bring in 24,0000 600 per an
| nun.
'As to expenditures, the interest on the
national debt is S27O, 600 600, and the main
tenance of the $4,000 men in the army,
for which the French are running them
| selves, costs Sl30,0OO 900. The navy costs
| S50,0O0 600 each year. and it costs Sl2 00O,-
900 to run the government match, tobacco
and cigar factories, for individuals cannot
make or sell these things. Salaries cost
S2,6O0,0O0 for the president senators and
chambers. The presidents salary alone is
! $240,00O per annum, five times as much as
our own presidents salary and the French
| executive has a seven year term.
The judiciary costs IS, ,000,0O and as the
state also pays the priests $9,000,000. The
foreign office and diplomatic service costs
| $4,000, 600, and when it comes to public
works not less than $40, ,OOOOOOis spent an
nua.ly, making our river and harbor and
| public building appropriations seem ri
diculously small. There are many other
! items of expenses, requiring the exercise
| of ingenuity to devise new taxes from
| time to time, and how long the French can
continue to support such an expensive es-
tablishment is a matter of speculation.

WASHINGTON, March %. Attempts were
made yesterday to set on fire two of the
largest Catholic churches in the city, ST.
Patrick's and st. Dominick's. In both
places the fire was discovered and extin-
guished before material damage had been
done. Both fires were quickly suppressed
Worshipers in both churches had seen an
elderly woman, tall and dressed in black,
enter the churches and leave hurriedly,
seeming to be very nervous. Police and
detectives are securing the city for the
guilty party All the Catholic churches
in the city are being guarded. The incen-
diary is supposed to be some fanatic whose
brain has been affected by constant at
tention to religion.

ROBBED ON THEIR ALL
Venerable Couple Brutally Treated
by Masked Fiends,
BOTH BADLY BEATEN AND BURNED

The Old Lady win Probably Die from the
Effects of the Shock and Torture-The
Robbers Secured Six Hundred Dollars
and Thirty Cents.
BRADFORD, Pa, March Wednesday
night at Palmer's Mills, lonely spot on
MaFvine creek, an aged couple were tor.
tured and robbed by masked men, the
robbers securing over 5000. The couple,
Mr.. and Mrs Merritt Childs, who are over
20 years of age, were about to retire when
knock came at the door. The old lady
answered the summons and was met by a
blow on the head which felled her to the
floor. The husband, who came to her as
sistance, was similarly treated, and three
masked men entered the house. The hus-
band and wife were then bound and
gagged, while the robbers ransacked the
house, finding $780,
This did not satisfy them, and Mrs.
Childs was asked TO tell where the bal
ance of the money was hidden. She re-
fused to divulge the information, where
upon the fiends barred her feet and pressed
them against the red hot stove. She stood
the torture until her feet were very badly
burned, and then made known the place
where another 500 was secreted.
This experiment encouraged the robbers
and the old couple were put through The
torture again for the purpose of extorting
more money All that remained of th'
savings of the husband and wife was thirty
cents This was then secured by the men
and Mr. and Mrs. Childs were again bounC
and gagged and left to their fate. The,
were discovered yesterday by neighbors il
a pitiable plight.
Mrs. Childs will probably die from tn
effects of the shock and torture, but tn
old gentleman will recover
Three suspects are being hunted by of
flcers. If captured they will have to b.
well guarded, as the feeling against then
is very bitter in the neighborhood.
