BEAUTIFUL OAKLAND,
A Delightful Summer Resort in the
MOuntains-Its Maontflcapt HotaI

FROM the Cumberland Times.
Home-like and hospitable, the
Oakland Hotel has opened for the
season of '95. Extensive improve
ments and additions have been made
since last year and the former COM
fort and convenience of this model
summer home have been greatly in
creased. New and appropriate fur
niture has been added, rich and
beautiful rugs and carpets haye
been placed over many of the pol
ished floors, increasing the home
like feeling that comes to the guest
as soon as he registers at this hotel,
and on all sides is evidenced the
experienced hand of Major De-
Shields, the superintendent of the
Baltimore and Ohio hotels.
A simple but pleasing combination
of chocolate and white has made
the dining room more inviting than
ever before, and there will be found
the same excellent menu, the same
prompt and courteous service that
has made the Oakland hotel famous
for its table.
There is something about the
Oakland air that makes hearty eat
ing and sound and refreshing sleep
a necessity; something that cannot
be resisted and which brings on it's
train health and regeneration. The
dining room does its part well and
the bed rooms maintain their repu-
tation for comfort and coziness.
The pleasure Of the guests in
other directions has not been over
looked. Zimmerman's, Annapolis,
orchestra, will be on hand the en-
tire season, until September 18th,
and the halls, porches and ball room
will echo to the delightful strains
from this we'll trained band of mu-
sicians.
The executive departments are
again in charge of that prince OF
good fellows, Mr.. G. P. McDermott
of the "Shoreham." Mac has given
special attention this year to rem
ovation of the kitchens, and prom
Uses great things in the line of Gull
nary perfection during the season.

H. Hazleton, as head clerk, will see
that no guest lacks for comfort and
amusement. HaZelton Is one of
those versatile fellows, equally at
home on the stage, in the Office, or
among the guests entertaining and
amusing them. He has had much
experience in the various lines and
Is at home in them all.
Messrs. Ray Snyder and Fred
Wallace, polite and capable young
gentlemen, complete the office
force.
On Tuesday there were 60 guests
at the hotel and the engagements
for the season warrant the belief
that this season will surpass last,
which was the most successful for
many years.
Oakland's claims are too generally
known and too highly appreciated
to requite elaboration. 1t suffices
to call attention to the improve
ments and complete arrangements
for the comfort of those who con-
template becoming part of the
Oakland family this summer, and
20 advise the tired, oyerworked or
broken down, to take advantage of
the opportunity for recuperation
and amusement afforded by the Oak
land Hotel. To the strong and
pleasure seeking, Oakland is equally

and pleasure crave can there find
abundant and varied means of graf

MONCCLES IN EUROPE.

Their Use Believed to Have Originated In
the British Army.
In every capital of Europe the mono
Gle is common enough. 1t attracts no
attention Oh the street. In a row Of men
at the theater considerable proportion
are sure to have it. Perhaps half the
officers in the German army wear mono
cles. They are to be seen in abundance
at any meeting of the French academy.
Even socialist deputies in France are
not ashamed to 60 among their constit-
uents wearing them. A session of the
English house Of commons glitters with
solitary eyeglasses. The single eyeglass
is said to have originated among the
officers Of the British army.
About the beginning of the century
an order was issued that army officers
should not wear eyeglasses OR specta-
Giles. 1t was supposed that they gave the
wearers an unmilitary appearance. The
order caused severe Inconvenience to
many short sighted officers, and one of
them, belonging to a crack regiment,
invented the single eyeglass. He
claimed that, being an eyeglass, its use
was no contravention of the order which
prohibited spectacles and eyeglasses Tt
soon became very popular i'll the army
and was afterward adopted. On account
probably Of this origin the single eye
glass is very generally worn in Europe
by army officers.
1t is by some thought to give all as
pect of determination and ferocity to
the wearer, whereas eyeglasses lend an
air of feebleness. New York World.

DAWSON'S NARROW ESCAPE.

He Couldn't Be Expelled From No Work
Club For Obvious Reasons.
Bailey Dawson was in danger of be-
ing expelled from the Society of Chris
tian Repose. The object of the society,
as its name indicates, is to discourage
endeavor of any character, and its men,
bers, who comprise such well known
old residents as Colonel A. M. Babcock,
A. N. Kellogg, founder of the newspa-
per publishing concern; Frank Parme-
lee of the bus line, and others, are men
who think they have done their work
in life and now only ask for rest. They
meet at the Grand Pacific hotel and do
not even talk much, preferring to sit in
the easy chairs in the rotunda and look
at each other.
But last week Colonel Babcock brought
u serious charge against Bailey. He
said he had gone to work; what is more,
he had the evidence to prove it.
Things looked really badly for Bal
ley. The work was no harder than that
involved in drawing the pay attached
to a political office. but it was work,

refuge in technicalities. Mr.. Kellogg
was trying the case, and to him Bailey
made this plea:
eff it pleases the court" he said,
''the members Of this society must not
do any work Of any kind?''
'"They must not, replied Colonel
Babcock sternly.
'"They should not indulge in any kind
of effort?''
Certainly not" again interjected
the colonel.
'"They cannot consistently take action
Of any description"
'"They assuredly cannot.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Radical Changes That Have Taken Plaza
In England.

Radical Changes That Have Taken Plaza
In England.
Marriage customs have changed ev-
erywhere with the advance of civiliZa-
ton. Anglo-Saxons in ancient times. it
is said, used to capture their wives by
force from their fathers or their hus-
bands, it die not matter which.
This was before Augustine came to
preach Christianity. Then purchase was
more common than capture, although
the latter seems to have been frequent
enough to the reign of Ethelbert to need
regulation by law. By this law man
might run away with woman, provid-
ed he afterward paid her previous own
er, be he father OR husband, so shilllngs.
If it was husband who had thus been
deprived Of his wife, the woman's cap
tor had not only to pay him the fine,
but also to buy him another wife. In
any case the stolen woman belonged to
her captor.
If man had purchased his bride IN
the days of Ethelbert and afterward
concluded he had paid too much for her,
it was lawful for him to return her to
her former owner and claim again the
purchase price, provided that he had
not previously expressed satisfaction by
making the bride present on the morn
ing after the wedding.
The next step was the "foster lien,
when the bride price was paid on the
day of espousal and was supposed to
compensate the parent for the cost OF
bringing up his daughter. 1t seems,
however, that this soon fell into disre-
pute, as there was no law against the
fathers engaging his daughter to nu-
merous suitors, taking from each the
"foster lien," and, OF course, cheating
all but one on the wedding day, which,
at that time. was only the day OF be-
trothal, when the sutton gave "wed'
or pledge for the future performance OF
his contract If the sutton did not claim
his bride within two years after the
wedding day, he forfeited all right to
her and to whatever money or goods he
had paid for her. II the woman or her
father broke their promises. the father
had to give the sutton four times as
much as the sutton had already paid
him.
As civilization advanced the bride
price was given to the woman herself
and became her dowry. while nova
days the tables are frequently turned,
and the bride settles the money on her
husband. Kate Fields Washington.

"THE LEAST OF THESE"

She had little Of earthly beauty;
She had less of earthly lore;
She climbed by path SO narrow,
Such wearisome burdens bore!
And she came with heart a-trembling
To tho warden at heavens door.
And said, "There We're hearts of heroes"
She said: "There were hands of might.
had only my little children,
That call to me day and night.
I could only socthe their sorrows.
Their childish hearts make light"
And she bowed her head in silence.
And she hid her face in shame,
When, out from blaze Of glory,
A form majestic came,
And sweeter than all heavens music,
Lo, some one called her name!

Superior to Time.

It is strange, said jeweiar On Twen-
ty-third street, but women seldom ever
consult the official timepiece in the
window. A man involuntarily pulls out
his watch to set it by the standard time
from the United States observatory,
and if he passes ten timekeepers in day
would be apt to compare with half Of
them, but q woman. unless she is very
businesslike, wouldn't pull out her
watch to regulate it, not if she passed
400 standard timepieces. She is superior

S.HE SIXTH SENSE.

The face Of yesterday is not the same today.
An underlined but diff rent spell lies in the
features play.
It may be gay sad, tint Of color more or
less,
A sparkle, or shadow new, the eyes and
cheeks express.
A tone not heard before rings in some dear
ones voice,
That brings sharp prophetic PAIN OF makes
the heart rejoice,
One knows not why. One only feels some hid
den cause must be,
In body OF in mind to work the change not all
do see.
Some few with intuition's ready power can
trace
In man or child these subtle changes Of the
voice or face.
With this sixth sense, almost divine, can see
and hear
The things not manifest to common eye and
ear.
Methinks it needs Loves list ming wait and
watchful sight
Faint undertones t. interpret and dim signs
to read Alright.
Love, then, must be this added sense, or sum
of all combined,
And love for ev'ry living thing the power to
save mankind

1t Lessons the Chances of Somebody TAXI
Ing Shot at Him.
"You would naturally think that the
hunter out for game would wear clothes
of soft. unobtrusive colors harmonizing
with the landscape" said the veteran
sportsman. "Yet, stalking moose and
deer in the Maine woods, | select ap-
parel pronounced i'll hue and often wear
Q red necktie Or hatband. This l do to
lessen the danger of being shot through,
mistake.
''Of the great army of hunters that
each fall range the woods of the Pine
Tree State there are few that will not
sometimes venture a shot into moving
bushes on the chances that the invisible
object that rustles them may be deer.
The fool sportsman, who is largely in
evidence in the shooting season, will do
SO every time. II it be man in the
bushes, any striking colors of his cos
tune are apt to catch the eye Of the one
preparing to fire and prevent the shot
being fired.
"The danger Of alarming game by
such costume! That is not enough to
be taken into account. Everything strik.
ing in color is more likely than not to
excite their curiosity and draw them
toward the hunter if he work with prop
er slowness and caution. Besides that
all the antlered game trust almost
wholly to their senses of hearing and
smelling to warn them of the approach
of danger, and if you can battle those
faculties you need have little fear of
their taking alarm from the sight Of
you.
"But, speaking of costume, don't
wear black, else every ninny, and even
some experienced sportsman, seeing you
among the trees, would let drive at you,
believing he was going to bag q bear. "

DIED OF GRIEF.
Young woman M0urn,'d Over the De-

Pittsbmg, Dec. 2S.-Miss Mamie II.
Powell, youngest daughter of John and
Elizabeth Powell, OF No. 40 LacocE street.
Allegheny, died at 4 O'Clock yesterday
under peculiarly afflictng circumstances.
Her relatives believe she died from Il brokcD
heart. DIR. j. ID. Davis, the attending ply
stefan, adds to this by saying heart trouble
caused the girls death, which might have
been, he says, superinduced 10y grief. Her
favorite sister. Mrs. Maud Davis, wife
of James Davis, OF Shousctown. died sud-
denly three weeks ago last Wednesday Of
pneumonia and Miss Powell griered inccs-
sanity over the death. She dropped and
sank into a sleep which ended In death.
The physicians were puzzled over the case.
: Miss Powell was handsome girl, TWEEN
ty years old, and bright and cheerful until
q year ago, wien she had trouble with her
teeth, ma king an operation necessary. That
saddened her and injured her health. She
: was in a fair way to recover from nervous
prostration when her sisters death was an
nounced. This prost rated her second
time. This afternoon she began to talk
about her dead sister, A few hours later
she was found in The parlor unconscious.
Her eyes we're filled with tears and her face
showed traces of violent grief The girl
was carried 10 her room and doctors were
called. When they came she had passed
from unConsciouSness to death
