A gentleman was riding on the out
side Of a coach in the west when the
driver said TO him:
1--WE had a coin guy to ME to-day
zoo years old. Did you ever see coin
200 years old?"
'Oh, yes. have one myself 1000
years old"
'Ah" said the driver, have ye?"
and spoke no more during the rest OF
the journey.
When the coach arrived at its des-
tination the driver turned to the other
with an intensely self-satisfied air and
said:
II told you as we druv' along had
coin 200 years old"
YES"
And you said to me as you had one
1000 years old"
Yes, so / have"
That's not true"
What do you mean by that?"

FOUND DEAD.

Why did he do il? He had everything
TO live for,-happy home wife, friends,
money; but he shot himself through the
heart. Whyi
He, couldn't have given good reason
himself But everything looked gloomy
TO him. He was in gloomy frame of mind.
1t was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living in too much of hurry,
rushing and driving at business, hustling
through his meals, cutting short his sleep.
His nerves got on edge; his stomach and
liver got ont of order; he grew dyspeptic
and melancholy.
When the digestion is out Of order there
is little use trying TO look on the bright side
of things, practically there isn't any bright
side. This is dangerous condition TO get
into. Yet il is easy TO get into and mighty
hard to get out of It, unless you go about it
in the right way.
There is remedy that has pulled thou
sands of people right out of this depth Of
despair. 1t is DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. II acts directly upon the stom-
ach and liver. 1t restores their natural
capacity TO nourish and purify the system.
II purges away bilious poisons, feeds the
nerve-centres with healthy highly vitalized
blood, and drives out the blue devils Of
melancholy and nervousness.
J. L. Warner, No 1900 o street, Sacramento,
Cal, writes: During the last five years have

darted of and away, down over the

sang over and over; home! home!
His heart was overlooking. and he
could not keep 1t to himself.
All this while his wee wife was TAX

hoped on one twig, then on another,
twisted her head and turned her
bright eyes. until one might justly con-
clude she had viewed the matter from
every side. She saw one thing, too,
that neither had noticed before.
Through the open window, framed In
with apple boughs, some one was
| watching them-a child with great
dark eyes and halo OF golden hair.
So sweet face-but, oh, so thin and
white! II the little bird had been on
the bough just above she might have
seen that the child sat in large wheel
chair-sat without moving. her hands
clasped in her lap, and hardly daring
to breathe for fear OF frightening the
robins away.

looked her all over, and waited. BY

Opening a Rich Coal Vein.

The Consolidation Coal Company
has opened the largest unbToken tract
of big vein coal about two miles north
west of Ocean, Allegany County. The
outlet to the Carlos branch of the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania Railroad
consists of 400 feet of double and one
and quarter miles of single track.
The breach into the side of the hill at
opening A is $50 feet deep, and the six
benches above measure from mine
track to top 65 feet. About $50 men
are at work, $50 in and about the OPEN
ing and 100 on the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania Railroad branch.
-Four months ago the site of the OPEN
ing was an unbroken forest. Immense
quantities of wood, earth and stone
have been removed, not less than seven
tons of dynamite having been consum-
ed in the work. Much is yet to be done
to carry out the plans of the company.
Besides opening A, an incline 400 feet
long leads up to opening b, from which
coal for local and temporary use has
been taken. The vein rises north Is
degrees west. Mr.. B. S. Randolph is
mining superintendent. Those in i'm
mediate charge of the work are Messrs.
w. A. Somerville, foreman, and Uriah

Feast of the Assumption.

The feast of the Assumption, August
18th, was celebrated at the Novitate
with all the magnificence that charac-
terized the preceding years. This feast
day is held in special veneration by
the members of the Society of Jesus,
for on this day some $50 years ago, To-
natius Loyola and his faithful band Of
followers pronounced their first vows.
The custom of pronOuncing the vows
on this feast obtains to this day. Year
after year is enacted again the scene
which the little chapel of Montmartre
witnessed and last Sundays occasion
was but an echo from those misty ages
of the past.
The little Novitiate chapel was
simply yet tastefully decorated. Lights
and flowers were strewed about in pro-
fusion ard laurel hung gracefully from
the high ceiling, all producing an effect
totally in keeping with the beautiful
ceremony of the VOWS. The music
was of high order of excellence and
Rev. Rector Father John HI. O'Rourke,
S. j., celebrated the Masses and the
community assisted in the singing.
Twelve young nOvices offered up
their young lives as holocaust, pledg-
ing themselves to follow the evangel-
ical counsels by the vows of poverty,
chastity and obedience. Each one dis.
tinctly pronounced the Latin formula
of the vows and then received COM
munion. Thus after the completion of
their two years of noviceship they
have become true Jesuits, have been
tried and found not wanting and now
are all prepared to enter upon their
life of study. To one who has never
seen this solemn ceremony it is apt to
cause awe and astonishment. The
eager, fervent appearance of these
young men and the generosity with
which they throw off the last links
that could bind them to the world
carry with them lessons that fail not
to instruct whilst they edify.
The day was one of peace and con-
tentment, and will long be remember.
ed as bright spot in the lives of those
who concecrated themselves.

Foreign Demand May Not Bring
General Prosperity.

Whilst the farmers have been made
to rejoice at the advance in wheat ow-
ing to the failure of crops in European
countries, which have created a for
eign demand, strikes seem to he the
order of the day throughout the coun-
try. The passage of the Dingley bill
has not done much good for the poor
coal miners. nor the operators in
many of the factories and furnaces of
the country. a tariff has heen placed
upon the manufactured article, and as
predicted, the laborer's wages have
been reduced or allowed to stand at the
same figure, whilst extra work is i'm
posed upon them. After all the fond
dreams of general prosperity in spite
Of higher prices for wheat may be de-
layed for many long hours.

Nominate Good Man for Judge.

Soon the delegates selected by the
Democratic County Convention to the
Judicial Convention will be called on
TO make a nomination for the impor-
tant position of Associate Judge for
this judicial district. This, as matter
of course must be regarded as a most
important nomination. Whilst every
safeguard should be thrown around
the bar and none but worthy and rep
utable men selected as was so forcibly
pointed out in the able address deliv-
cred by the president of the Maryland
Bar Association, at its last meeting,
equal safeguards should be considered
by the people when making the NOM
ination for so important position as
Associate Judge. The people have a
constitutional right to have the privi-
lege of selection from one or more can
didates for this important position.
Dealing with life and property makes
every man anxious about the character
and standing of the man who is seated
upon the bench. For this reason men
of the highest moral character and
greatest business principles are sought
after, by all who have the interest and
welfare of the people at heart. In
this county the people are waiting
for the nominations; men of both par
ties are interested in this question. 1t
looks as if the Republican ring of the
county has caused all candidates to
take back seat, and the name of Mr.
Motter will be forced upon the conven-
ton. Mr. Urner, Mr.. Eichelberger and
Mr.. Kinks are men of the highest
character, stand well before the men,
bers of the bar and are regarded as
men who would grace the position, yet
it is conceded that things have been
fixed up for Mr.. Motter's nomination,
by the Motter Ring of the party. As
to the Democratic nominee, we are not
prepared TO urge the nomination of any
man, but in advance, pledge the earn
est support of the CITIZEN to the nom
inee of the party. There are a number
of excellent men to select from; law
yers of high standing and good moral
character. 1t is not essential that a
judge should be a brilliant lawyer to
make first class judge. In Pennsyl-
vania a lawyer and two laymen have
numbers of important cases tried be-
fore them, and the good sound COM
mon sense of the layman is often as
potent in the settlement of cases as the
associate lawyer in the case. What the
people of this county want, is a man of
high character, respected by the peo-
pie, and who stands well among the
members of thd0 bar. Such a man the
Democratic Judicial Convention should
nominate, and such a man will sweep
Montgomery and be the next Associate
Judge for this judicial district. The
delegates for this county have their
duty to perform, and the people will
see that they carry it out.

T. Thomas Fortunes Speech.

Editor L. Thomas Fortunes recent
utterances on the platform and in the
press are full of meat for those inter
ested in the colored race. Notable for
those who profess loudly at recurring
intervals their desire to see them dealt
with as becomes such an acknowl-
edged ally of the party of Lincoln,
Grant, Blaine and Mckinley.
He objects earnestly and forcefully
to the dilatory policy of the admins
tration in the distribution of offices
among the colored members of the
Republican party. His speech in
Washington, and his significant state
ment in subsequent interview as well
as his courage in thus openly express
ing himself at this time, have caused
much comment.
His position is strong and he loses
nothing by his expression of 1t. He
insists that the colored voter be ac-
corded his due share in the fruits OF
victory, or that the party should no
longer reasonably expect the united
support of his race
He contends for negro self-govern-
ment in those communities where
their strength politically entities to
control. There is much in this pre-
sentiment of the case provocative of
serious thought. Abstractly consid-
cred it is unanswerable as long as the
majority rules.
In the light of these plain flashes
looms up the negro's present status
anomalous in the extreme and his
future attitude with reference to the
principal parties, is a subject to be dis
cussed soberly and calmly.

The Road 10 Gettysburg.

1t is gratifying to learn that some OF
our people are beginning to see the
necessity of an electric road from Fred
erick to Gettysburg, via Lewistown,
Thurmont and Emmitsburg, then from
Frederick on to Washington. This is
a project worth looking after, aud now,
that prosperous times are promised,
much may be accomplished by little
push and enterprise. Why not let the
business men of Frederick invite the
projectors of the Washington and Get
tysburg road to Frederick and send
them over the proposed route. Keep
the ball moving.
