snowmen have been astonished at the
success of one or two bands on the
road in times when the best operate
and dramatic companies could scarce
ly keep moving. While those bands
are under greater expenses than the
biggest theatrical or operate com
pany. they manage to make money
year after year.
1t is true that the Bands visits are
few and far between, the country being
large and the number of famous bands
few, but lines moves on his different
circuits for nine or ten months every
year. His band is rich in mechanical
effects. 1t utilizes the illuslonary
forces Of the stage to lend ina gination
to the audience and fire their enthus-
iasm. Some people like music others
have to be aroused to an appreciation
OF 1t. The last constitute larger
class and once stirred they become the
most persistent of patrons. The op-
portunlty afforded both classes, how
ever, should not be lost next Monday
evening by anybody living along the
line OF the Cumberland and Pennsvl-
vania railroad. All should take the

members of the family OF H. A. Bate

Oldtown on shopping trip. He was
mounted upon a spirited horse; Mrs.

The AriOn Band Concert.

AS announced last week, the Arion
band gave an open-air concert Satur-
day evening which attracted large
crowd. The band occupied the splen-
did balcony of the Hotel Gladstone
and dlscoursed programme of fine
numbers. a correspondent writes of
it as follows:
To the denizen of Frostburg the per-
Torrance must have been source of deep
satisfaction, especially if his knowledge of
music reaches above the average, 1t is meet
for us now to admit that the band is most
remarkable organization. Composed as 1t is,
of men who labor every day of the week as
hard as men are ever called upon to work, it
is really wonderful that they have been able
to muster enough enthusiasm to produce
speaks indomtable will coupled with an
abiding love of the beautiful things Of life.
To the majority of their audience it seemed
no doubt an easy matter for them to throw
out over the evening air those waves of
delicious melody, but to the initiated the
hours of practice and the eXasperating details
of rehearsal were elements of no little appre-
citation, and the success of the band in over
coming these early and attending obstacles to
perfect rendition, is now an achievement to
De applauded and reioiced over by all lovers
of this most elevatng influence of all the fine
arts-music.
But the townspeople should not be content
to listen to the result of their excellent work
and passively accept it as one of the goods the
gods send us, as they would refreshing
shower at the end of sultry and swetering
day in midsummer-w heartfelt thanks
The band, the source of this peculiar bless
ing music, is of extremely human origin
and so long as its material makeup is of the
earth earthly, it requires just few of the
temporal necessities to prolong its useful and
uplifting power in our midst. Hence, when
ever they call upon the public for financial
assistance it should be promptly and CRATE
fully given.

wagon. Approaching the house, Mr..
Percys horse hastened to pass the
wagon on the canal side of the narrow
road, and, stepping on soft ground,
the latter gave way. The horse fell
down the bank, precipitating the I'M
fortunate rider into the canal. The
conclusion must have partially stunned
him, as, ordinarily, man could get
out of a stream of no more depth and
volume than the canal at this point.
Mrs. Bateman and her son were unable
in the darkness to do anything toward
saving him.
Several hours later the body was re-
covered about $50 feet below and
taken to Mr.. Bateman' house. An
inquest was held Thursday morning,
resulting in verdict of accidental
drowning"
During the afternoon the remains
were brought to Frostburg and taken

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

St. ohn's Record for June makes
vigorous opposition to the proposed
Sunday trains and mail.
But if these Innovations upon our
Sabbatic isolation be so demoraizing,
why are not clergy and church con
stantly under arms against them in
the thousands of localities accommo-
dated by Sunday trains and mails
For instance, the clergy and church
in Cumberland ought to be as good as
they are in Frostburg. 1t is as in
cumbent upon the one to denounce
existing wrong as upon the other to
lnvelgh against prospective evil.
Not long ago a railroad man in
Piedmont told the JOURNAL that ''for
every sack Of mail that goes up the
West Virginia Central railroad ten 90
up Georges Creek ~
Yet the people who get one sack are
supplied on Sunday, while those who
get ten must 90 without because pre-
sumably, they cannot be trusted to
behave themselves.
But whatever the implication, if the
Frostburg clergy and church really
believe the moral and religious status
OF this community will be damaged by
the Sunday trains and mails, it is their
unacceptable duty to see that their
brethren have these evils stopped
where they prevail.
That, or withdraw from communion
with those who, having been made
aware of their duty, do it not.
Like Sam Jones, the JOURNAL
would not stay in a church that is one
thing in Frostburg and another in
Cumberland ''long enough to get its
hat. 1t would run out bare headed
