Personal.

The Baltimore Neacs last Saturday
published a full-page, illustrated
biographical sketch of Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes and family. 1t tells, of
course, much that is already known
here of this interesting group, but
thousands all over the State have been
charmed, no doubt, by the particular
features which for the time set apart
this family from all other families.
The sketch grew out of lengthy inter-
view with Mr.. Lowndes by a member
OF the Meas staff, and besides glimpses
of the nominees domestic life, it COM
prlses an entertaining review of his
political and business career, all of
which is believed to furnish Il forecast
of assured success in his gubernatorlal
enterprise.

A few weeks ago Maine man bought a
pair of socks containing note saying the
writer was an employee ofthe Kenosha (Wis.)
knitting works, and wanted good husband.
She gave her name and requested the buyer,
if an unmarried man, to write with view
to matrimony. The young man who found
the note considered the matter in all its
phases and decided to write to the girl. He
did. Admitting the answer with considerable
anxiety, he was at last rewarded with a curt
letter stating that the girl was now the
mother Of two children and had been married
four years, and the letter he had answered
had been written ever so long ago 1t was
sock dolager, and the young man hunted
for a solution. He found it. The merchant
of whom he bought the socks doesn't
advertise .-Erchange.
Later on it TRANSFERRED, no doubt,
that her husband received a similar
note in a pair sold by merchant who
advertises literally and, therefore,
successfully for both himself and
customers

Something Scratched Ont

Last week the Cumberland Neaos
asked the JOURNAL to parse an in
complete sentence taken from the
Cumberland Times.
The JOURNAL disposed of the task
as best it could, but this week the
puzzle can be illustrated somewhat by
a citation from the Chicago Tribune:
7eacher-How would you correct the
sentence
He sat there quiet and listened to the bag
pipes music?
Pupa-l would scratch out the word,
music.
Had the Times not forestalled the
JOURNAL by itself scratching out the
musical portion of its sentence, the
parsing exercise would have been a
grammatical picnic.

Misses Maggie Grove, Bernie Porter
and Carrie Beall, of this place, brought
all the ladies' State tennis champion
ships to Frostburg this year, and, what
is better, Frostburg young lady and
gentlemen competitors for the State
scholarships have been winning for a
number of years past. No wonder the
green eyed monster glares at the me-
tropolis from all over the county. But
under the inspiration of a paper that
is great, how can our skill and talent
be kept down to the normal level9
The Gale Tennis club gave tea at
the court Thursday evening in honor
of Misses Bernie Porter and Maggie
Grove, the ladies who so cleverly
brought the State honors to Frostburg.
Thirty persons were present.

The American coal company, J. Fl.

1t is % feet in diameter. with ms s
feet long and feet wide. At from 3S
to 40 revolutions per minute it moves
from 10000 to $4,000 cubic feet of air

Not GUILTY.

FRosTBURG, MD. Sept. 10, 1895.
To the MINING JOURNAL
According to the papers, Mr.. Stern
was in Frostburg on the Dist and ODD
of August and called upon Mr.. Kerr,
stating that Joseph henderson had
been boarding in Frostburg with a
man named Kaplan. He said that
henderson had called himself "Har-
rison;' that he had peddled pictures,
and when he went to Cumberland
he changed his name to Member
son and took up tailoring. On these
statements he tried to take up col
lection to send witnesses to Atlantic
city.
But | have been in Frosiburg to-day
and talked with Mr.. and Mrs. Kap-
Ian, and both say they never knew
me. According to this, | never board
ed in Frostburg.
There have been many things said
about me. but later | will prove that
am not guilty. | have been seeing all
the newspapers, and they have had
their share to say, but will let every
one see that | am clear man about
four weeks from now. By that time |
will have my papers from Russia, and
they will show that | am not guilty.

Sport.

Homecoming was we'll represented at
the Driving Park Saturday to see the
bicycle race between Robin Bullock
and Gilbert PoIter--one mile for 500.
After some palaver over the start
Bullock got the lead and held it for
nearly one-fourth of the distance.
Porter then overlook and passed him,
holding the lead by varying distances
to the end, winning the race. In time
there was not more than the differ
ence of second; in distance only a
few yards. They ran at the rate of 10
miles an hour.
Several Of the bloods felt lonely
Monday evening. The evening was
warm, too, and they didn't want to re-
tire early. And so 1t came to pass
that time dragged heavily. At last,
after much consideration, the idea
came into their minds that footraces
were fine diversion for ambitions
overburdened by ennui. This notion was
turned over and over until Hon. Tai
mud Jumper and Chaser Walker book
ed themselves for the first sprint from
Wineland's to McLuckie's crossing.
Talmud won, but he was still discon-
tented. He challenged Onlooker G.
Pedestrian to make same distance.
The latter's policy is-''never take a
dare" and he went in and beat the
Jumper by six feet. Over this defeat
Talmud felt broke up, so much so that
he told Winfield Jumper that for S. a
side he (TalmuO could beat him win
feld.) The sound money was put up
each Splinter made ready at the St.
Cloud crossing for first arrival at
McLuckie's referee Pedestrian sig.
nailed go" and off both flew. Tai
mud was again distanced, this time
by about rs feet. This relieved him
of So in money and ia cubic feet of
wind. For the first time during the
evenings sport he expressed himself
rs satisfied until he can get even with
.. &. P. and Winfield. Quite a large
number of gentlemen and few ladies
came out to see the fun, and all voted
it great. The races were run on both
sides of midnight.

Several Hints.


To principals of schools assert and
maintain the authority of your office,
or resign.
To assistants-be glad to acknowl-
edge the paramount rule and response
bility of the principal. Respect his
suggestions, comply with his requests
and obey his orders. Otherwise, give
way to those who will.
To principals and assistants-speak
to each other in school little as pos
sible; indulge no superfluous talk to
the pupils, and, above all things, avoid
familiarity with them. In all cases
every utterance should be called out
only by some mandatory occasion or
exigency. These may be many or
few, but should be prompt, terse and
decisive. In cases of discipline-you
have no right whatever to send pupil
home as hopelessly unworthy of edu
cation until you have exhausted upon
him the civillzing touches of an
athletic twig, hickory preferred. If
this resort, temporarily but firmly and
frequently applied, fails at last, then,
and then only may the culprit be re-
manded to the career of ignorance
laid out for him unkindly by the stars
of fate.
Finally, give the pupils all they can
do-no more, Each should have at
least one lesson ready for recital every
morning-a lesson to be learned be-
tween supper and bedtime lesson
profound enough to take up most of
the margin of time between those eli
macteric periods of the day-for OBJ
vious reasons, especially that which
compels boy to stay in the house and
off the street.
In this connection, it is proper to
say that parents also have an essential
duty to perform, but they cannot do it
unless the teacher furnishes every day
the program for evening study at home.

How a Great Power Works.

Our reference to the dilatoriness of some of
Allegany county's road supervisors seems to
have had its effect, as one part of certain
road in this valley has already been repaired,
and work Is progressing on another section.
A gentle reminder from the Reyiew is all that
is necessary. Review
How easily we could get our share of
that liquor license advertising if the
Recieao would only "remind" candidates
that the fair thing must be done.
And while we were getting that, no
doubt the registration people, fearing
their turn next, would divide their
fund with us also ?
The ReoieO is an awful power, but
its dingus works in way that only
Cumberland interests understand.
1t seems to be larger stakeholder
i'll the advertising welfare of Cumber-
land papers than in its own.

Misplaced.

1t turns out that the editor and local
editor Of the Cumberland Neecs are one
In proof whereof read this:
The editor OF the NemS is threatened with
the resurrection of some old editorials he fired
Off at Mr.. Lowndes some twenty odd years
ago. If our friends down street will go back
about ten years further they may strike a time
when we would have fired bullets at him had
We come across him.
That is really one of the finest le-
torts the JOURNAL has seen in MANY
days.
Hence, it is an immense pity it did
not appear in the editorial department,
where all the really good things should
shine.
