just think how many times Frost
burg is cooler than either the land
that is darker than this or Cumberland.
Bailiff Bowen and policeman Yung-
erman are wearing the new suits pro-
vided by Mayor and Council. Both
are neat-fittlng and well made.
The JOURNAL does not often endorse
the observations of citizen lack krapf,
but it goes with him when he contends
that there should be no more exteh-
sions of water mains out of town until
enough water to people IN town is as
sured. There is more work needed at
the supply end of the water works
than at the demand termini.
Twelve bicycle soldiers passed
through Frostburg Monday evening
en- route Chicago to Washington.
Unless there is something of which
the JOURNAL has not been made aware,
the levy of So, imposed upon Cumber-
land liveryman Wednesday, is an out
rage. If done at the instance of
Frostburg liverymen, it is equivalent
to a notice served by that guild on the
people to hire their inferior equipment
or walk. you shall not import Cum
berland rigs without paying duty
prohibltive, revenue. protective
For all such levies fall at last on
Frostburg people. Indeed, the people
are fined because Frostburg lverymen
do not keep the style of turnout that
is frequently wanted.
A key to the Homecoming RecieW's
seance joke on the Frostburg News
will no doubt be appreciated. No
questions answered.

FRosTBURG, MD, June "a, 1897
To the MINING JOURNAL.
1t is currently reported that por-
ton of the town Council intends to
secure five-year contract for lighting
the streets; in fact, our worthy Mayor
advocated such a measure in his in
augural, saying that he believed he
had Council that would assist him in
carrying out his policy.
Why such a course should be pur-
sued it is hard to explain, unless it is
to reward our friends--notwithsta
ing the fact that just prior to the
municipal election there were mo
enemies TO punish nor, friends to REGARD"
There are several reasons why the
letting of five-year contract would
not be a good policy to pursue. and
one ls-that it would prevent all COM
petition during that period, which,
under the present progress that is be-
ing made in artificial lighting, would,
to say the least, be very unwise.
Suppose another light plant should be
erected in the town (Which is not UNI
likely and very probable in the near
future) with modern machinery, it
would be able to reduce the cost of
arc lighting one-half, or, in other
words, give the town an all-night SER
vice of better light for the same price
that is now paid for less than half SER
vice-namely, 81 per month per lamp.
These figures can be guaranteed if
there is any doubt in the minds of
Council as to their correctness.
Not only in electric lighting are i'm
provements being made, bat in gas
circles every day new devices are in
vented, new methods adopted which
are materially reducing the cost of
production. Acetelyne gas, for in
stance, a product which is in its iu-
fancy, but which has been proven to
be Il wonderful and cheap light, the
adoption of which must, as a natural
result, greatly lower prces-a result
that our town will not be able to avail
itself of if Council binds it by FIVE
year contract.
There are a number of instances
that can be shown where municipal
tiles, by granting franchises and max
ing contracts for period of years,
have greatly injured the people whose
agents they are, hut one case will suf-
flee at this time to illustrate. Chicago
granted a franchise for so years to a
street-car line with 20 year proviso
for FIVE cent fares. Indianapolis, Il
city not one-tenth AS large, is enjoying
the privilege of a three-cent rate,
where Chicago, with ten times the
population, by either laundering Of the
city officials or their dupiicity. com
pels the citizens TO pay almost double
the rate.
If is to be hoped that Mayor and
Council will consider we'll the matter
before binding the town, hand and
foot, to any party or corporation for
five years to the injury of their con-
Situents. A TAXPAYER,

And yet how great this heart, now held in
cold embrace;

Its kindly warmth can e'er erase.
The mystery of that unknown bourne is
solved
By him, whom life seems passing partial
For from cold death warm life is eer evolved
Death then so dread, the gateway is to life
so true.
Hail hail this change from Death to Life !
Why? Tearfully accept this glorious
truth
IT'S but the ending Of Earth's bitter strife
And the beginning Of eternal youth!
Adeu, then, friend, It's but for fleeing space

The veil, so thin, which hides thee from

Will soon be lifted for our entrance to that

Where joys accrue, unknown in endless

Damage by Fire.

Many promenades were disturbed
by the fire alarm last Sunday evening
about 9 o'clock. Although cool. "A
considerable number OF people we. e
out, and when the alarm sounded
squads ran pellmell-some one direc-
ton, some another. Then each would
reverse and scamper back. 1t was q
fire difficult to locate, although every
body seemed to know that it was near
by. Finally, it was discovered on the
roof of an old double tenement in
Uhls, profanely called "Devil's alley''
"a narrow thoroughfare. With some
difficulty the fire department got to
work, and with more difficulty did it
the latter owing to the pressure of the
crowd upon their apparatus and move
ments. The fire was disposed of in
short order. The damage was CON
fined mainly to the roof. The house
was occupied by John 4. Smith and
James Warwick, and owned by Patrick
Pryle, of Vale Summit. The damage
to Smith and Warwick was small. In
one hour from the time alarm was
sounded the departments apparatus
was back in the hose-houses ready for
the next call, thus adding one more to
Its many achievements IN saving prop
erty. A stiff breeze was blowing from
the north=west-a bad direction for
several neighboring properties. But
the department and Frostburg water
saved them

UnprOmising Outlook.

A delegation of ladies called on
Mayor Bear the other day and made
inquiry concerning the smell and taste
of the water.
The Mayor was quite frank in stat-
ing bis impressions, which, doubtless,
are generally correct.
He was equally candid in announc-
ing the prospective remedies for the
situation, some of which are faulty.
Summed up, some big mistakes have
been committed, and the town is on
the eve of some more.
The town has also suffered from the
neglect of its administrators and execu-
tors. and, under the vibrating auspices
of municipal ownership, there is little
or no hope of relief.

Inspection and Condemnation.

McLane, accompanied by Alfred JEFF
fries, superintendent, visited the town s
water plant Tuesday.
On this side of Great Savage the
Board condemned everything except
two sources of supply-the Arnold and
LAGER springs. They devised plan
to improve the big reservoir, but will
report that an entirely new reservoir
upon another site is preferable.
The Superintendent has had all the
trans-Savage springs and reservoir
thoroughly clearsed.
