An Excellent Institution.

The rooms Of the FrOstburg Cycle
Club We're formally opened on the
evening of Monday, 10th inst.
Twenty three members were present
and all much pleased with the com
Portable quarters, including gymnasi-
um and reading room, that have been
secured for the use of the club.
The literary chai acte1s soon gravi-
tated to the latter apartment, where
they rcyeled in cards, checkers, light
literature and tobacco smoke to their
hearts content, while the would be
athletes amused themselves with the
horizontal and parallel bars, kindly
furnished by the clubs athletic trainer,
Charles Ehm.
For general uneXpectedness the rag
and a large piece Of the bush. We're
taken by George Garfield Jetfries, who
can get onto d horizontal bar by twelve
different and distinct methods, no
one Of which has ever before been at
tempted outside of the large cities.
But for grace, precision and per-
feet abandon. John Goldsworthy's dar-
ing dive from the bar to the mat, was
awarded the palm.
AT II p. N. supper was announced,
and if anyone doubts the beneficial
effects of exercise upon the appetite,
he should have been there to witness
the simultaneousness with which the
several dishes Ct that supper disappear

the table. In this connection it Is only
fair to mention the superintendent

man, Charles Gross.
After supper and some very nice ice
cream Ga treat by the proprietor, j. NJ.
Thomas several members were called
upon by the master of ceremonies,
president c. 0. TowleS, for speeches
and all cheerfully responded except

the ground that they had given them
selves such twist on the parallel bars
that they were not as yet entirel Y sure
of where they were at.

The club is more than fortunate in
having at its disposal the services of
so competent and finished /. gymnast

instruction to members wishing to
avail themselves of the opportunity on
Tuesday and Friday evenings.
The JOURNAL is requested to say

"Old Farmer Hopkins" one of the
brightest rural dramas ever written,
will be produced in Ravenscrofts'
Opera House by the well-known
comedian, Frank S. Davidson, and an
excellent company. Special scenery,
mechanical effects, spccialties of a
high order, all go to make "Old Farm

donbtedly Is. Speaking of its pre-
sentation in Frederick, this State, the
Nccs Of that city said
There is something about Mr. Davidson
and his play that is fresh, invigorating and
entertaining, In "Old Farmer Hopkins" he
has created Il character that will remain a
tradition Of the stage. The special scenery
was beautiful.

No Hone.

The Oakland (Md.) Democrat is in
formed that there is an impossible
gulf between the merits of tariff re-
form and free coinage.
The one is based upon a sound, i'm
perishable principle the other upon
an unsound, fantastic conceit.
The democratic party could do better
before the people with prohibition
than free coinage.
Certainly better with local option.
Free and unlimited coinage of silver
at any ratio is wild duck.
1t is also wild duck that is dead.

ReductiO ad Adsurdam.

Miners get $40 for digging a car of coal a;
railroads get S5S for merely hauling it. Who
does the tariff on coal benefit? Respectfully
submitted to the puzzle editor Of the MINING
JoURNAL.-Cumberland Uncle Sam.
Data not fully nor carefully given,
but two presumptions are forced:
l, That 265 tons fill Uncle Sans car,
and
., That Baltimore is the destination.
If so, the expenses for delivering one
ton in that city are as follows:
MlnlnS... ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .45
Other labor, ETC.. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 30
freight. Observation-Disclosures. LII
Subsidy to railroads. Observation-Disclosures. 40
lolal. ................ 81
The owner of the coal then takes it,
hustles around to sell it, and gets 50 IS
He can't get any more because, with
the coal right at their doors, the con
sumers have become the dictators.
The owner gets 1928, or 81 cents
less than 1t cost. He loses some termi-
nal expenses also and puts in bis time
all for the pleasure Of giving work
to the miner, fuel to the city people
and subsidy to railroads. By the
time he has wholesaled his cal he has
invested about p cents more per ton,
or 70 cents IN all, making his loss on
the car at least $40.
If he did not have to pay that SUB
sidy to the railroad he would still be
nearly $40 out
The trouble with Uncle Sam's puzzle
is-that it is not puzzle.
In the language of the carnal heart,
unconscious of its immortal destiny, it
is what ex-senator Ingalls, once called
"a ID barren ideality."

said the express company was running
