GILMoRE's GRAND EXPosITIoNs
BAND CoMING.-There1l be music
the right sort, too-in the air, when
the great big new Gilmore's Grand
Expositions Band gets here on Tues,
day, Sept. 8.
1t is to come at that time. There
are so men or more in the new band,
and, so it is reported, they are the
best lot of artists ever yet seen to-
gether in any band. Victor Herbert
is director, of course, and that is say
ing everything that need be said as
to what the band will do. 1t is ex-
pressly engaged to open the two big
Expositions of the year at Pittsburg
and Atlanta. On the way down
South and return only half dozen
towns in all are visited, so we may
consider ourselves lucky. The solo.
lists include Victor Herbert, Herbert
L. Clarke, Ernest Fl. Clarke, Sig de
Carlo, Herr Stockgt, Herr Julius
Spindler, and others Of like note. In
the words of forcible, though not
elegant N. Y. critic, "the big Exposi-
tons Band, we mean Gilmore's of
course, is way the other side of what
is usually understood as being a
'corker'. This one is doubly a
'corker'." The big band will be here
on Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 8, at
Central Opera House.

Some Excellent Games Played, but
Martinsburg Again Loses.

On Saturday last the home grounds
we're occupied by Martinsburg VS..
Hagerstown in a brilliant game of
ten innings. In the eighth inning,
with the score to / in our favor,
the visitors scored two and we made
one, making it to 3, but this was
rot all. In the ninth they scored
two more and tied the score, while
we failed to tally. In the Il nth we
scored one, while the visitors, after
two hands out, scored two runs, win
ming the game by one score. KEEL
lar was in the box for the home
team and he was steady and cool,
and pitched a good game. He was
backed up by good field work, and
the game put up was one to feel
proud of. The features Of the game
we're Bradley and Farrell's home run
drives, and Flannigan's catch Of a
hot liner from Creque's bat. The
following is the score by innings:
Hagerstown, 0l00000222-
Martinsburg, 00022 l-6

On Monday Cham bersbu.g came
over, and by TIE umpire and wretch
ed ball playing, Martinsburg lost.
Pond and Bowerman, of the Balti-
more Leagne team, made up the bat
terry for the home club, and Dickson
and Cremer for Chambersburg.
Dickson, who has always been puz-
zle for the Martinsburg team, was
batted bard, four home runs being
scored off of that famous twirler.
In the ninth inning, with the score
IL TO 7 in favor of the home team,
the visitors tied the score, and in the
tenth, after two hands were out,
scored one run, and again we lost.
Creque resigned as member of the
club, and Bouchers played left field,
Zimmerman taking his place on
third base. In order to strengthen
the club Stewart was sent to right
field, and Young occupied seat on
the bench. The battery work of
Pond and Bowerman was magnifi-
cent, and it is not their fault that
the game was lot. The Chambers
burg boys ere heavy hitters, and
they punched their hits at q time
when Martinsburg punched their
errors, and all we can do is, "Listen

A Model Labor Union.

The Cigarmaker's international
Union, whose officials have just
made their report for 1894, makes a
remarkable showing for itself Dur
ing the year the union paid out
s44,966 in strike benefits, slO6, ,75s
in sick benefits, s62,l68 in death
benefits and S174,5l7 for the benefit
of those out of work, the whole sum
of the benefits paid out being $780,
500.
1t is pointed out that ofthe vari.
Gus benefits mentioned that which
is credited to strikes is the least
and the president of the union re-
ports that in addition to these pay,
ments the society successfully pro.
tected the rate of wages throughout
the great financial depression oi
1894.
There is much solid food for re-
Election in these figures. They
show that the strike is really the
least part of a successful labor
unions functions and that the small,
er the part the strike is allowed tc
play the greater and more pro.
nounced the success of the institu.
ton aud the more beneficial it,
workings. The properly operated
labor union has sufficient other
reasons for being and sufficient 9th.
er work to do. Its true mission il
to obviate rather than instigate
strikes.

The Town Election.

Every voter in this town is deep
ly and personally interested in the
town election, which occurs on the
third Saturday in this month,
which is March 10th.
The veal or woe of the town de.
pends upon the men whom the vo-
ters elect to fill the town offices,
and particularly is this true of the
members of the Council They can
do much toward building up this
town and making it prosperous, or
they can as completely kill it, if
the men elected are of the old
mossback style, who are opposed to
everything that is progressive.
The Council will have much bear
ing upon the business of the town
for the next two years.
Then, is it not the duty of the
voters to pick out the very best
men in each ward, and elect
them as coucilmen? Certainly it is,
and we believe such will be the re
suit of their votes on election day.
We have no axe to grind, nor have
we any particular candidates to ad-
vocate through these columns. We
have only the good of the town at
heart; and SO every voter should
have.
a number of good men are an
nounced in these columns for the
various offices, and from them the
voter should be able to make a
selection, but If be is not pleased
with them, there are a number of
candidates who are not announced,
from whom be can select
OF all things, however, vote for
men, who are ready and willing to
improve the town; who favor water
works, fire engine, street improve
ments, and all other matters that
go to make up a good town.

Employment.

Too many people desire great
wealth. Too many ignore the
real comforts of life and sigh for
its luxuries. In fact, it appears to
be an almost universal idea that
one must be rich or great before he
can be counted a success. This
fallacy has prevented many a
man from attaining the degree of
success, which might easily have
been his. Too many are looking
for some calling that will pay a
large salary from the start. They
are not willing to devote their time
to preparing themselves for an oc-
cupation. They seem to think that
the world owes them a fortune,
and that it will come to them with
out much effort on their part.
This class of people would like to
be at the head of some honorable
calling, whether fitted for it or
not They should remember that
it is better for them TO succeed in
some common pursuit than to
undertake a more honorable call
ing and fail entirely. a man
can be a manufacturer of soap
and be as great success and
as useful to society and as much of
gentleman as ii he were a dia
mond merchant. 1t seems as if the
man makes the business more than
the busines makess the man.
Any person who expects the
world to give him riches or fame
must make up his mind that he will
give the world something in return.
We must be of some benefit to the
world or our earnings are not
justly ours. If we are successful
in the acquisition of money let us
not use it for selfish purposes. 1t
is not right to hold it for the
pleasure of accumulation alone.
1t is better to carry out our own
ideas than to follow the fashion, or
try to do as somebody else has
done. Our ability to succeed lies
within us. 1t is we'll to give at
tention to good and proper advice,
but we can know more about the
course we should pursue than any
one else. The worlds greatest in
ventors were ridiculed for their
ideas. Some of them were even
talked OF as mad men. But they
persevered in their Investigations
and experiments until they achiev-
ed success.
1t is not best to devote our time
and attention to too many sabjects,
for it is impossible to become ex
pert in all of them, it is necessary
to become expert in whatever we
undertake. A person may do one
kind of work 10 day, another to
morrow and still another on the
day following, he may succeed in
becoming a '.jack- at all trades, and
will be useful man to the com
munity in which he lives, but he
will not amount to a great deal
Better to follow one branch or pur-
suit and follow it to its conclusion.
The one who does so will have
reached all that it is possible for
him to have enjoyed in this world.
