that Laurel is about the healthiest town in

There is probably no special reason
why Laurel should not be pre- eminent

than Frostburg 1t must be so because
it has no hog-pens.

THE BIRTH OF THE GREATER
NEW YORK.

With the dawn of the new year the
Greater" New ork is ushered into the
world a full grown giant. The problem
of municipal government inthis country
is to be put to the supremest test on the
grandest scale. Within its limits Is con-
tanned a population equal to that of
thirteen Of our sovereign States at the
last census, ana as large as that of the
original thirteen States when the Union
was organized. Provisions for the life
and health of this vast multitude Of all
nations and climes is an unsolved eng
ma, but proiting by the experience of
half century's success, thousands of
sufferers in New ork and elsewhere can
be wrsted from the grasp of that agont-
zing complaint, rheumatism, by the
timely and systematic use of Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters, which is, moreover, a
preventive of malaria and kidney
trouble, and a sovereign curative of liver
complaint, constipation, dyspepsia, de-
blity, sick headache and nervousness.
1t is an admirable appetizer and promo
ter of sleep, hastens cOnvalescence, and
counteracts the infrmites of age.

Mr.. AVlRETT AGGRIEVED.
HE DESIRED TO CONDUCT THE
EXAMINATION OF SPENCER.
WHEN HE COULD NOT DO IT
He Withdrew From The Case on The Ground
That The Questions He Was Not Allowed
To Ask Went To The Rcot Of The
Whole Investigation.

The announcement yesterday that Mr..
Philip w. Averitt had retired from the
CAGE pending before Special Master
Kerr Craig and Judge Simonton created
great surprise and much interest.
"Why did he retire." was the ques-
ton asked by many parties. Mr.. Avir-
EFT referred to his statement printed in
the News and Observer yesterday.
Nobody who was supposed to be in a
position to know all of the inside of the
litigation would talk. The general i'm
preston was that there was bound to
be an inside story.
And there was.
Here it is:
Mr.. Avirett had prepared a series OF
questions which he desired to ask Mr.
Samuel Spencer, President of the South
ern Railway. He notified Judge Avery
and Capt. Day, with whom he was as
ISOLATED in the conduct of the case, that
he desired to ask certain questions. They
requested him to put them in writing sc
that they could determine upon the wis
dom of asking them.
They stated to Mr.. Avirett that it had
been determined that Capt. Day would
conduct the examination of Mr.. Spencer,
and Capt. Day and Judge Avery told Mr.
Avirett that they did not agree with
him as to the line of examination of Mr..
Spencer he had mapped out
Mr. Avirett did not like this. He felt
that having given much time to the
investigation of the question, he ought
to nave the right to conduct the exam
nation of Mr.. Spencer as it seemed best
to him.
Judge Avery and Capt. Day did not
think so, and would not permit Mr.
Avirett to conduct the examination.
This was the reason that impelled Mr.
Avirett to withdraw from the case.
The report that his withdrawal was due
to objection to his bill for a fee of 81
600 seems to be an unfounded rumor
The above is the real explanation.

But was his rightful, true Inheritance
With native majesty he wore his fame
For Nature clothed and gave him heI

So mighty that he rose above all
chance,
A hero in an age without romance,
Whose life began and ended without
shame.
His humor and humanity were one,
He loved the people with a brothers

Beloved by them whom he always be-

With naught to do so great as he had
done,
He passed to God, immortalized above
And upon earth, where mourns State
