YEsl YES Its all right and plain case;
the Frederick people knowwhich side of their
bread is buttered. Not Frederick news
paper has had word to say favorable to
steam on the F. & M. V. r r. OF course
not but that is pointer to the Middletown
Valley people, and they should profit thereby.
1t IS to Frederick g interest to have electricity
as motive power and the traffic purely pas
senger; 1t Is to the Valley peoples interest
| to have steam and the traffic both freight and
passenger, more particularly the former,
The Frederick newspapers know these things
and their interest being, naturally and for
that matter properly, in the city first, other
sections OF the county afterwards, they have
been and will continu, to be careful not to
advocate steam
ExPLANATIoN.-The advertisements so,
hcited for the WoMAN's EDITION, were, by
clear and explicit understanding with the
publisher, asked for, for that one single issue
1t was deemed julicious that they should be
solicited distinctly that way and we knaop that
1t soas the proper plan. We have learned
since that some the advertisers expected to
be called upon by us to have the advertise
mcnts continued for time in THE CLARION
We desire to make it clear TO all such that We
could not have done so without compromis
ing those who solicited them for the Won
ANS EDITION; you can readily see that
some who clearly understood that there
would be that one insertion and nothing
further be heard Of the matter, would
have been embarrassed to have to decline
to continue their advertisement upon
our request and would have regretted
that they had placed themselves in position
that rendered such refusal necessary and the
ladies would have gotten the recoil. In a
word it was plain proposition and carried
out to the letter.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED to Prof Roen'
tgen: May direct and palpable evidence be
secured against the hard hearted man by
means of Your X ray. What Distinguishing
marks does the Ray record as between
block head aud hard headed man?
Does it record more decided tracings of the
pangia Of the man of iron nerve?
How about the white livered wretch?'
Are the outlines of the hard listed man the
same as that of the open banded, when closed?
Can it penetrate the cheek of brass; does
the leaden heel cast a more pronounced shad
ow; will it give m outline of the tablets of
memory; what markings appear when it Is
turned upon a scared conscience; can you tell
thereby whether the man has cast or
wrought iron will and is it as effective and
satisfactory generally as the bright sunlight
Of publicity.
That the X Ray is a magnificent scientific
possibility we believe and that untold wOn-
ders will be wrought thereby in the way of
finding needles in feet, haystacks. etc all are
ready to accept but unless it is demonstrated
that it may be successfully put to use in the
lines suggested by our several questions, we
fear that it will in the dangerously approx.
innate future, be relegated to that splendid
hmoo, the realm of the scientific toy. Only,
however, after the newspaper tires of it,
