/ WORK of Art.

The survey and print of the pro-
posed military encampment next sum-
mer, made and drawn by G. G. Town
send, is a work of art. The parade,
drill and ball ground haf- mile track :;
grand stand, county road. railroad,
etc., are exactly represented. The
space in the upper left hand corner is
occupied by soldier-boy on the broad
road to surrender to Frostb burg
maiden, and springtime rural scene
fills up the vacancy in the lower ri ght-
hand corner. The bottom centre is
decorated by a pretty print of Frost
burg from Il view made on Graham's
hill, probably the best outlook for
that purposa. When the proper time
arrives tins map will be laid before
the authorities. and it ought to go
very far toward winning the prize for
Frostburg. In the project of getting
the State encampment here this year
the Park Association ought to be lib
orally sustained by every interest and
individual in town.

The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth J.

took place at the Presbyterian church,
OF which she was Il member, Sunday
afternoon, a large number Of friends
paying by attendance the last tribute
of respect. Mrs. Cice, born near

the late Joseph MILESTONE Nov. ,.
1865, she married Joseph j. Everest,
who died several years ago. and on the
10th day Of December, 1891, she was
married to Enoch Cllce. About four
months ago she underwent surgical
operation in the Johns Hopkins hos
if any, from that dreadful infection,
was ONLY temporary, She suffered
greatly but through all maintained the
fortltude Of one resigned to the worst.
Those who witnessed and who grieve
over the painful fate which brooded
ovel her last days are confident from the
testimonies which she left of thorough
preparation for death and bright ex-
pectation Of life hereafter. Her hus-
band and one daughter, Mrs David X .
Smith, nee Everest, this place, survive.

At Home Again.

A telegram Friday of last week from
Joseph henderson to his father-in law,
Thomas Kerr, of this place, announced
that he had returned to his home at
Weston, Va. 1t stated also Il am not
the man that was wanted Letters
subsequently received state that he
was not arr ested, nor was there "a
Russian detective" in the case that
Mr.. henderson went to Pittsburg, not
New York, at the request of William
Eichberg, Of Philadelphia; that in
Pittsburg he confronted Mrs. Wisotzky
and several witnesses Of her marriage,
all ef whom declared he was not the
groom, Mrs. w. herself finally ac
knowledg;ng that she is satisfied he is
not her errant husband.
henderson antecedentS are foriif,d
by a number Of papers written mostly
in Greek. Two letters, however, from
his brothers, David and Hyman, re-
siding in Liverpool, England, appear
to establish the fact that he is not
sporting an a}taS. David, writing
October 3, 1898, says that che (Joseph)
is a single man." and Lyman, fifteen
days later, says "Jo:eph came to
Liverpool in 1856. He was single then
and single when he left"
AS now presented the circumstances
seem to favor Me8ders0n's innocence
of the crime of bigamy. He appears
to have met the Pittsburg ordeal will,
ingly and to have come out from it
leaving the charge against him com
plete collapse. One feature Of the
case which seems 70 have been over
looked by the newspapers who have
written up his troubles is that he is
almost TOO young Il man to be as old
husband as he has been represented.
At any rate, is to be hoped that he
has been cleared of the charge against
him and that the public will hear no
more of it-thls mainly for the sake of
the one woman at least whose faith in
his integrity has never waverea nor
weakened, now Mrs. Jane henderson,
nee Kerr.
