OBITUARY..
Lines

In memory of CLARENCE O. WAGNER, who
died Tuesday, September -, 1896.
A melody of joyful strains
Was heard from heaven above;
1t was the song which angels sang
In sweet celestial love;
1t seemed to say-'Come home dear brother
We are waiting now to welcome thee"
How faint the sound when first twas heard
The song all must hear some day
The voices of the angelic host
Sang soft and low the lay.
But, bark They swell it with voices sweet
Harmonic harps the sound increase!
Only boy to this world known
Came to the Lord shortly before
The song of love was family sung.
Men knew not of its power;
But of this gift the whole world can
Proclaim that He had wrought the change
When Christ-lovc enters thoughts calm
realm,
1t comes with feebleness;
II stoops so low, becomes so weak
A child in tenderness;
Then the Christ in man is born;
That is mans heavenly natal day.
In the heart gently He enters, unobserved,
Like evenings falling dew;
In it He sets His kingdom up
In it the Godhead hides,
For goodness is the God mans throne
Where God, alone, abides.
To show the presence of Christ-love
Is in good deeds of charity
To those unfortunate;
Not with a patronizng pride;
But charity that's meek
The strong to help the weak
We glory for that day appears
When hearts for hearts do yearn,
For gifts Of luomise are fulfilled
And the sad are given cheer;
And thus the Christ-love born in man
Makes him ever near and dear.
Thus it was with our dear boy,
When at last the song was heard
When to mansions bright was called
When from the world he must be drawn
An angel came and claimed his own,
And bore him home to heaven.

A Surprise.

One evening last week while Rev.
G. A. j. Cramer aud wife were sitting
alone the door-bell rang. Answered,
Mrs. r. w Conrad entered and en-
gagged the pastor aud wife in earnest
conversation. The bell rang again,
and this time % ladies of the German
Lutheran congregation with the pass
word, surprise" invaded the house.
Sundry bundles and bundles of sun.
dries were loaded on the table, and an
hour of song and talk followed, when
the happy visitors left the happy fam
lily. Everything donated was useful.
aud the pastor is deeply grateful for
the unexpected providence which fell
to him that evening.

Al his home. this place, Tuesday
evening, September 90, 1896, after a
months illness of typhoid fever, Mr..
George c. Wade, assistant postmaster
of Frostburg. Had he lived until next
Tuesday he would have been 30 years
old. About 16 years ago he entered

when j. n. Benson succeeded, he re-
tanned Mr.. Wade. So that for at least
half his life he served the government

Mrs. Gilmon Wade, both deceased.
Two brothers, Frederick and Charles,
survive, and. besides Miss Cora. two
married sisters, Mrs. Annie V. Cooper,
of Greenfield, ILL.,. and Mrs. Howard
Skidmore, of this place.
The funeral hour was fixed at 9 D. m i.
Thursday, but was postponed until
out of Difference to the touching wish
of Miss Fannie Chenoweth, of Darkes-
vile, w. Va, his affianced, to be
present. Miss Chenoweth's arrival
was delayed by storm damages to the
railways.
The funeral was largely attended,
and the floral testimonials very elabo-
rate and elegant.
AS intimated. George was faithful to
his trusts, Industrious and thrifty.
Had he lived these elements of his
character would have made him a use
full and successful man.

A VALUABLE LATERAL.

The history of railroads in the United
States establishes conclusively the propo-
sition that main or trunk lines of railroad
de pend in a great measure for business
upon branch or lateral roads, known, prop
erly, as feeders. The main line is rigid
and inhexible-the lateral lines come from
this side and that, tapping sections of
country which the main lines can neither
reach nor control, and bringing business
it otherwise could not secure.
1t is in this aspect that the Yosemite
Valley Railroad is to be considered in con-
nection with the new and rapidly progress
ing Valley Railroad. The Southern Pacific
has had in contemplation for several years
the building of railroad into Yosemite,
but it has done nothing except to project
plans on paper and then abandon them.
1t has been reserved for certain persons
connected intimately and directly with
the Valley Railroad to undertake the
actual construction OF railroad into Yo-
semitic Valley and to put the scheme on
its feet on genuine operative basis.
From Merced to the Yosemite is only
about eighty miles, and the building of
the road is attended with no insuperable
engineering difficulties; and, more than
that. the road will traverse fine agricul-
tural country. especially between Merced
and Snellings, and for distance beyond,
and its construction will stimulate farm
ing and fruit-growing. since the agricul-
turist and horticulturist will have a mar
ket open to them for their products.
OF course, the tourist trade will be the

residence of nearly sixteen years in
Japan and close intercourse with the
natives of that country, both at the out
ports and in the interior, have given me q
thorough insight into the character of the
people and an intelligent idea of their de-
sires to become the rulers of the Orient both
in times OF peace and war.
have read with much interest the articles
on Japan which have appeared from time to
time in your valuable journal and followed
closely the views expressed in your contempo-
raries, and Notwithstanding the statements
made by few alarmists and the excitement
created in some circles by the various reports
of Japanese invasion of our markets and .
threatened supply OF Japanese manufactures
which bid fair to create havoc With our indus
tries both on this coast and throughout Amer
lea. am of opinion that the time Is Jar distant
plenty of time to legislate in such manner
that tho crisis will be averted and in manner
that we will still retain the friendlineSs OF
Japan and the respect with which they
now regard us. In the meanwhile 1t certainly
is not policy and is undoubtedly prejudicial
this matter so freely in the press, for the rea-
son that the Japanese naturally see all the re-
ports and the feeling that Is being stirred up
in this country against them. Their papers
copy these items which appear SO often of late,
and naturally feeling of antagonism is ere
production is, or will be boycotted. This can
readily be DONE as the markets OF the whole
world are open to Japan, and all are catering

A MAGICAL CITY.

The description of Seattle furnished to
Mondays CALL by Ernest e. Ling, assist
ant secretary Of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, presents q wonderful picture.
He might have promised it with the state
ment that Puget Sound is the most re-
markable body of water in the world. its
counterpart existing nowhere. 1t is a
great inland sea- extremely narrow for it's
length, and its crooked shore, mostly a
high bluff, is indented by numerous arms
and bays, all penetrating regions rich in
natural resources. 1t is connected with
the Pacific Ocean by the Straits of Juan de
Fuca and has depth and size more than
sufficient to accommodate all the ships of
the world.
Unfortunately the settlement of the
Sound country few years ago proceeded
with leaps far outstripping the develop
ment OF its resources. A prodigious and
disastrous boom made fortunes in day
and swept them from existence in night
Seattle was the center of all this feverish
and unwholesome activity. In the very
height of its prosperity fire destroyed its
property to the extent of $4,000, 900, but it
quickly staggered to its feet. Then came
the bursting of the boom, followed in
stantly by general financial depression,
and ruin stared the whole Sound region in
the face.
But the people knew of the natural
wealth of the country, and with stern de-
termination set about to develop it and
establish a legitimate prosperity. The
pine forests which had covered the ground
for incalculable ages had made soil of
great fertility, and the comparatively
bland climate indicated the adaptability
of the country to the higher forms of agri-
culture. The forests themselves contained
lumber of incalculable value, and to re-
move small part of them and utilize the
wealth which they represented was only
to clear the ground for bountiful harvests
of fruit and grain. The inexhaustible
stores of iron in the near mountains were
opened, smelrers and rolling mills were
established and prosperity began slowly
to rise from the ashes of the boom.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
value OF the resources which will assure the
coming greatness of the region. Con-
venient to the iron mines are mines of
coal for smelters, rolling-mills and manu-
factories. Food both from the ground
and the waters of the sound can be secured
in unlimited abundance. Lumber, coal,
iron, grain, fruit and fish are the leading
sources from which prosperity will issue
under intelligent direction, and these re-
sources exist in inexhaus.ible abundance.
On one hand is the sound, open to the
ocean, and on the other four great over
land railway systems terminating at
Seattle. 1t would not be possible to find
richer com bination of native resources
and facilities for developing them and
sending them to all parts of the world.

A FOOLISH ACT.

The students of the Northwestern Uni
versity, at Evanston, near Chicago, did a
very foolish thing Saturday night, when
they destroyed Spanish flag. In Spain
the students are doing just that foolish
thing with the American flag, and the
Spanish Government to its credit, is en-
deavoring to check such silly and needless
acts.
While the young men of Valencia and
Madrid were tearing up our ensign, we had
the better of the argument, but now our
boys in the Northwestern institution have
spoilt in a measure our case. We cannot

Spaniard who found a vent for his sur

something he disliked. But that hope

around our consulates with logical i'm
punity.
