Forecast.
The JOURNAL looks at the situation
as it is beloved it exists.
If Mckinley is elected, it will prob
ably be by Il very comfortable ma
jority.
If Bryan, the majority will probably
be small. Ia fact, this is about all his
leaders want-''to get in" If by a
scratch, they can then point their head
long adherents to big minority as IL
strong popular admonition that social
istic radicaism will not be polite.
More than this, the JOURNAL believes
only the Omniscient knows.
Last Words.
Every man should east his ballot
just as though the result depended
upon his vote.
If ever there was Il time when re-
publicans should stand immovably by
their ticket that time is now.
The JOURNAL does not advise dem
ocrats to vote for Mckinley, but bet
ter do that than vote for Bryan. If
they cannot do either, there is an
easy way out-vote for Palmer and
Buckner.
Each vote early.
Leave the polls and attend to your
usual business.
If, next morning, you find your
ticket is defeated, don't cry.
If it wins, don't crow over the van
quished.
This will be wisdom taught by ex-
ample.
This will be true Americanism, illus
trated by true American.

Dec. l, Campion Rush, manager. Mr..
Rush is a hotel man of long, successful
experience, and comes highly recon-
mended. The New York Hotel Gazette
says of him and the hotel:
Mr.. Campion Rush has been appointed
manager of the new Hotel Gladstone Frost
burg, Md. This is a pretty and modernly
appointed hotel, having steam heat gas,
electric lights and bells. 1t is located 100
feet above tide water, in most salubrious
region. Mr.. Rush has been cashier at the
Hotel Rennert, Baltimore, for nearly four
years, and was previously engaged at the st.
James Hotel in that city. He is a hard work
er, and patrons of the new house will be well
cared for.
The Hotel Nail, same city, also
says:
The new Hotel Gladstone, now approach
ing completion at Frostburg Md, is to be
managed by Mr.. Campion Rush, who has
been for the past ten years connected with the
st. James and the Rennert, Baltimore, and is
askillful and popular hotel man. The Glad

intention to cater for a first class trade. 1t Is

those whom he loved have incurred a
loss which only time and memory,
precious with innumerabie recollec-
tions of his goodness, can lessen.
Long a member Of the Episcopal
church, he was everywhere he lived a
consistent, ardent worker. Many
years vestryman in his native parish,
Durham, Charles county, he was well
qualified by both experience and in
terest to become the leading spirit
here of St. Johns vestry. He was one
of the building committee who pro-
jected and supervised the erection of
the present substantial stone edifice.
For a period of 80 years he was a
delegate to the Diocesan convention,
wherein he was known as one of its
uniformly wise and consistently con-
sentative members. So pronounced
was lie against all wrong doing; so
exemplary of right methods and so
devoted was he to his religious duties
that his family and friends have right
to believe with full assurance that the
Christians last prayer-the one which
fingered on his dying lips-''Lord,
have mercy on me" was answered on
high.
The remains were taken to St. Johns
church Tuesday afternoon. The
usual services were held, Rev. A. c..

of the broom and tamariX of the same age as the plants in the nursery, but which had been planted here directly after their importation, instead of be- ing brough' up to a larger growth in the moe sheltered place, They were a good deal smaller than those in the nursery, but were all alive and show ing a healthy though rather limited growth, Some white birches which had been planted a little further along were showing the wear and tear of the wind more than anything else, Some of them were dead while only a few were showing a vigorous growth. There was also a large number of will lows of the planting of the spring be- fore last, These had survived the win ter storms all right, although they had suffered somewhat. Their upper shoots had been killed back, but they were throwing out a fresh, strong-look- ing growth from the roots.
 The test of this springs planting will come this winter, although it will not be a final one. For instance, every one of the trees might be killed, but it would not mean that they could not live in this situation. As they are planted now they are in clear sand, without anything on which their roots can get hold. If the tamarix and broom survive the winter it will mean that this whole section can be covered with these plants, and there is no doubt that they will ultimately give base on which trees of many kinds can be suc- cessfully grown.--Boston Transcript.

make a rate proportionate to the rate adopted by the lines west of Chicago, If the Central Traffic and Trunk Line associations would apply cattle rates on horses (worth about one-third as much as cattle) the success of the en- terprlse would at once be assured; but they have refused to apply less than their tariff rate for valuable horses. which is nearly fifty per cent. in excess of the rate for cattle. Many of the in- dividual lines are favorable to the proposition, and it is hoped that the as- sociation will reconsider the proposi- tion for a reduction to a basis propor- donate to the present cattle tariff to apply on animals of low value in train loads when destined for Europe, The ocean ships are provided with station ary pens for the safe handling of live stock, and all that remains to insure clearing the ranges of the cheap horses is the adoption of the rates proposed,
 If the government officials at Wash ington are successful with their nego- tiations with the European authorities for the removal of the restrictions against horse meat in packages from America, parties having plenty of cap- ital are willing to open a large and eX- pensive plant, constructed by the Mar quis de Mores several years ago, at Me- dora, N.

HORSE MEAT FOR THE FRENCH MARKET


 The general freight agent of the N. P. $. l.. Moore. has entered upon a scheme for clearing the Montana ranges of their constantly growing sur plus of cheap horses-made cheap by the trolley and bicycle-wthin the next year or two. Experimental train loads are to go forward from the east ern part of the state the present au- tumn. One shipment has already been made. MT. Moore thus speaks of the ventures:
 Five and ten dollars head is the price now asked for several hundred thousand horses, branded and roaming the plains, too valuable to be destroyed and too expensive to keep alive. These horses vary in weight from 750 to 1, 100 pounds each, and as a rule are brand- ed on the hip or shoulder, or some oth- CT conspicuous place, to prevent loss by their going astray in stormy wealth CT. Sometimes these animals drift hundreds of miles from the home ranch, but the owners can always iden- tify their stock with very little difficult ty. Large droves of these horses are uEoIAllCu Lu DG hllltu anu StINtu ny butchers to the trade in Paris and oth- CT cities in Europe. A trainload is now en route over the Northern Pacif- ic railway from Washington, in cars especially provided with hay racks and water troughs, and will soon be driven aboard ship in New York harbor and sent across the Atlantic ocean.

THE ENGLISH TRADE IN TOADS,

THE ENGLISH TRADE IN TOADS,
 The present market price of toads is sixpence a dozen.
 Of all the means of ridding an infest- ed garden of slugs and other pests there is nothing to touch a judicious regiment of toads. They will keep the worst garden clear of insect enemies for any length of time and, in view of this, the toad trade has sprung up.
 At evening the toad-catchers set out; and along the banks of streams and under hedgerows they find the little brown slug killers, walking solemnly in straight lines, on the prowl for worms and beetles. The willy catcher lifts them one by one, and slows them in his sack; and, if he knows anything of the ways of wild things, he will fill all his receptacles in an hour. Three or four dozen may be taken in an evening all most anywhere-even on Hampstead Heath.
 Florists and private people with large gardens buy the toads at siXpence a dozen.-Answers.

SKILL IN MINING.

"One man cannot see as far into the ground as another" said John Prit- chard of Aspen yesterday" and there isn't a little bit of truth in the saying that he can when applied to mining operations Thousands of instances might be brought forward to prove my position, and I learned the lesson very early in my mining career. The Tom Boy story is an illustration of this. Everybody thought J. Ernest Waters was wild to spend so much money on it, and yet 1t is to-day being negotiated for s2, 50O,0O0 after paying more than $500,000 in dividends in less than two years.
 T sat down in the San Juan country in 1881, and had claim over on Sultan Mountain, which I called the Jessie It was a promising crevice and I worked at it faithfully until l had expended nearly $500, mainly for grub and pow der, living alone in my cabin and ire
 quently working fifteen hours day. Then I sent home and father sent me $500 more, which I used up. By that time I had been at work nearly two years and had driven my tunnel in 200 feet every inch of 1t with my own
 hands. Then I became discouraged, as I knew father had mortgage on the
 old place, and couldn't afford to help
 me any more. got credit for $10o
 and kept at work, driving the tunnel 50 feet further, and then I felt that I 1 woe at ll,a rI of
 One day as I was gathering up my | tools to quit a nicely dressed man | sauntered up to the tunnel and began l to look around. He asked to see the | tunnel, which was mostly in solid rock | without timbering, and after he had closely examined both walls, asked me | if I wanted to sell. I feigned indiffer- ence, and, after calculating 250 feet of tunnelling at $10 a foot, answered | that I might sell if I got my price. Well, | what's your price?''he asked. Twenty | five hundred dollars" I replied, with my l heart in my mouth. Come down to | town and get your money was the
 answer and that night I slept with $2. 2.500 under my pillow, in clean sheets l for the first time in two years. Next
 morning the purchaser asked me to | help him put in couple of shots, and 1 of course I agreed. When we got to the | tunnel he examined the wall and
 selected a point about 100 feet from the
 mouth Let's drill a couple of holes l here he said The minute he laid hold
 of the sledge I saw that he was a min l CT, and in a short time we had two l beautiful holes in the rock. When the | shots went off I could hardly restrain l myself from rushing into the tunnel at once, and when the smoke cleared away l was the first on the spot. And | there lay body of ore exposed which
 was afterwards found to be three feet
 thick, and ran over $100 to the ton. I 1 had left the yein and the superior | knowledge of my purchaser had en-
 abled him to detect the point of depart | ure.
 ''I stayed around there a week, by which time he had taken out enough
 to pay for the cost of the mine, and
 then I went home and paid off the
 mortgage on the farm and I've got the
 farm yet, though l am still mining. More than $50 900 was taken out of that | hole, and then vein was lost and has
