Over 100 Years.

Mondays New York World says:
Twenty years ago any reported case of
centenarianism was at once challenged either
as wilful fraud or as an amnable error.
To-day well-establshed cases are so common
that they no longer attract any special at
tention.
DIR. Salmon, the oldest Free Mason in the
world, who died yesterday, was undoubtedly
los years old. OF the three survivors of the
Grand Army of Napoleon of France, two
were born in 1892. Indeed, no one of any
scientific standing would now question the
possibility of centenarianism.
The JOURNAL quotes this to dispose
of some skepticism it has heard of the
probability of longevity over the 100
year limit.

An Unfortunate Coincidence

The girl who sent so cents in answer to an
advertisement to make girls beautiful, and
received the reply: mind your mother and
stay in Of nights" doesn't live in Cumber
land she lives i'll Frostburg or some other
obscure place.-Cumberlan .iUegonian
On the very same day this scin.
tillatlon of wit appeared came the
news that in places that are not
"obscure" one sometimes goes out in
the daytime, mayhap forever.
o, how careful Fife converts. Sun
day school people aud goody-goody

For in such an honr as We think not
your righteousness cometh to g,ief
and the chicken we wot not of in
Gomorrah hath come home to roost.
And by the same token which maketl
''the city set upon hill' "obscure'
shall it be adjudged that the town Of

PerSOnal.

While in town Tuesday John Keat-
ing told the JOURNAL that he had not
deci led whether to accept the appoint
ment of election supervisor or not.
But from his views of the proper way
to fill that Office it is undeniably sure
that ne ought to accept. His tests for
election officers are ''integrity and
competency-these above all other
good qualities"

HeNeVer Can be Hit.

A disagreement of about two years
standing in the family of John Keat-
ing came to a head Monday. The old
gentleman has been living alone for
some time, the family near by. Some
or all of the latter contracted the
notion that Mr.. Heating is insane.
Accordingly posse, headed by con-
stable Jacob P. Llewellyn. forced the
door of the hermitage Monday, and,
reaching the bottom of the stairway,
two shots from the top ratified the
constable and his aids de comp. and they
lit out. Next day, however, the con-
stable, reinforced, returned to the
charge and found the old gentleman
IN better humor. He was taken to
Cumberland, where jury inquired
Thursday into his mental condition
and found him ''insane but not a
pauper.'
This is the second time constable
Llewellyn has been shot at with re-
volving guns within a year. each time
triumphantly missed. He seems to
carry charmed life. An "Old
Guard of men like him at Waterloo
and 1.-THE clock of the world uouM have
been turned back for ages" As it is,
he is the most eloquent living evidence
of bad craftsmanship in this me-
tropolis.

A Cool Place.

Of all cool places in this cool town
is the cooler lately built by Fred.
Wehner. 1t is 20 by a feet, interior
measure walls ID inches thick cell
ing ditto, and floor over 5000 miles
thick. The ice tonnage which lines
the ledge keeps the thermometer reg
u!arly near the freezing point, and a
proper supply lasts from one two
weeks pay to another. The beer,
bottled and Keyed, goes thence to his
customers ready for business. Fred.
deals only in Cumberland beer, the
demand for which is so very immense
that the supply is met by the hardest
kind of work. 1t is proper to say, in
conclusion, that Fred. does not call
this cool depot of his cooler, but
more politely say it is ga cold storage
room" Which is probably right, be-
cause it is here that the beer is laid
away in stacks for shipment and i'm
mediate use.
