AntlciDated Growth.

In an interview this week with
George S. Wilson, of Wilson Bros,
contractors, the JOURNAL learned that
new houses continue in great demand
and contractors anticipate busy
building season. In detail he said
George Wehner is making preparations for
the erection of four adjacent dwellings on
Frost avenue, the first on corner of Wood
street.
Michael Dolan will build a dwelling on
Loo street, above Bealrs park
Ephraim Davis will add several rooms to
his residence, corner Hill and German streets.
Councilman Thomas J. Price will place a
front to the Tomlinson property, on Bowery

Two Franchises Granted.

AT Tuesdays session of the county
commissioners Messrs. Armstrong,
Miller and Pritchard voted to grant
the electric road franchise from Frost
burg to Homecoming, Mr.. elise against,
and Mr.. Cook not voting. Granted.
Messrs. Armstrong, Miller, Pritch-
ard and Cook voted to grant the fran
chise from Homecoming to Western
port, Mr.. elise against. Granted.
The terminal grant between Frost
burg and Cumberland will be decided
next Monday.
After nine sections of restrictions
and conditions the tenth concludes
briefly as follows:
The said railroad company shall not charge
more than cents for any distance not eX-
ceedng miles and not more than Is cents
for the whole distance between Frost burg
and Homecoming.
This said company shall begin the con-
struction of its railway within 80 days from
the date of grant of franchise and shall COM
plete 1t within one year; that in case of
violation of provisions recited, commissioners
reserve the right to revoke franchise, and
said railway be requested to furnish to the
commissioners good bond in the sum of
$4,000 for faithful performance of the con-
tract, and to indemnify them for any dam
ages that may arise from the construction or
operation Of said railroad.
If the Cumberland and Frostburg
line be laid the fare between the two
places will not exceed % cents, and
from Cumberland to Westernport not
over 50 cents.
The foundation for great many
differences seems to be laid in the nine
SactlOnS-di fferancaS which tha TOJrP
NAL fears, the company, in the bust
ness for all there is in it, will have
more time and purpose to look after
than even the commissioners engineer.
Later-It is understood the railroad
men have accepted the franchises.
Lctest-The court yesterday granted
charter to an entirely new company
for an electric line between Frostburg
and Cumberland and the scent of big
rat is in the air.

In "a Talk to Boys" last Sunday
IN Baltimore Senator Dick said:
had at the age of twelve to leave school to
go into the recesses of the earth and use my
muscles to assist my father to excavate coal.
NV utmost ambition then was to get away
from school, but | realized my mistake in
early manhood. Four-ti of the men in
this country regret lost opportunities; there
fore, appreciate the advantages and improve
the golden opportunities which have been
opened to you; hearken to the words of
friendly counsel from those who gratuitouslv
instruct you.
Later John Wilson, of the Black,
Sheridan, Wilson company, very Justly
and happily paid the following tribute
to the miners:
You will be surprised perhaps to know that
outside of Baltimore the largest Presbyterian
Sabbath school in Maryland is in the mining
town of Homecoming Nearly ali the trustees,
deacOnS and elders of the church are working
miners or men who have been miners. |
mention this because there is mistaken idea
that mining communities are rather hard
places to liveln Some of the most intelligent
business and professional men in Western
Maryland are sons of miners. | know one
who is Judge in one of our courts and may
some day occupy a much higher position
The JOURNAL had occasion to say to
a leading coal operator not long ago
that "the Georges Creek miners are
among the most orderly, law abiding
populations of the State. At least so
true is this in this county that Cumber-
land furnishes about 80 per cent. of its
criminal proceedings.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
BreVitieS.

Two ministers met the other day.
1t was the first time since the resolu-
tons of the Association appeared in
print, and they greeted and compl-
mented each other with all the cere-
mony that characterlzes meeting be-
tween two mOnarchS.
The Black, Sheridan, Wilson, com
pany will furnish the Navy department
under contract, awarded Tuesday,
10000 tons of genuine Georges Creek
coal.n 1t must be furnished at once,
and, to be genuine" it must go right
from "these diggin's."
The JOURNAL had a whole military
lot" more to say this week about chris
tian Bourbonism, but it forbears.
The JOURNAL has series of inter
estlng interviews, crowded out by big
advertisements. The article will be
good next week.
There is young man in this town
who asked musically inclined young
lady if she had ever heard of a famous
composer named "Adagio." She had.
But people of his sort are almost sure
to be as slow about being religious on
weekdays as they are poky about sec
ulaf matters on sunday.
The JOURNAL unaffectedly deplores
the necessity which compels it to
criticize the antics of the Ministerial
observation-disclosures there are those
who will mistake its comments upon
those gayeties as though they were
common to the church universal
Which, of course, would be unfair
For the church in Keyser, Oakland,
Hancock, Piedmont, Paw Paw and
Westernport, pestered with Sunday
mails far more than we can be, have
long since ceased to regard them as
religious counterirritants. Hence,
the JOURNAL is for the church, for
that institution lit the torch of civil
liberty and, more than all other
beacons, points the way to the eman-
cipatlon of mankind from even the
shadow of intolerance.
The Ministerial Association ought to
be opposed to the Electric road, whose
owners count on Sunday as its best
day for grabbing the earnings of
"habltual absentees.'' But mot an
ecclesiastical drum has been heard nor
a funeral note Of protest. Why not
go for the devil and all his railroad
works on Sunday as we'll as their de-
pendent collateral-Sunday mails?
The gentleman who states that "Oder
was in favor of the 5-year contract is
mistaken. The JOURNAL is not and
never was in favor of that product of
spite and greed. Moreover, it is not
"afrald' of anybody except foreigner
who is said to be ''the father of liars
a gentleman able to do some damage,
it is said, through his children.
If the Cumberland and Frostburg
electric road is built, will the Minis
terial Association kindly permit a
private arrangement by "habitual
absentees' to get their Sunday mails
in Cumberland, where 1.-THE population
and business justify" them ?

Coming Events.

Polk Miller, whose negro dialect
stories and songs have been heard
throughout the country with so much
pleasure, has made a new departure
This season he is assisted by Oscar P.
Sisson, the well known comedian, and
little Esther Wallace, Mr.. Sisson's niece
and stage companion. Miss Wallace
is pretty, graceful and sings delight
fully. Mr.. Sisson and Miss Wallace
produce a clever musical comedy
sketch as a curtain raiser, and then
Mr.. Miller holds the boards with his
wonderful delineations of darkey
humor and pathos, banjo picking,
songs, etc. In the third part of the
performance Mr.. Miller appears as
Uncle Daniel, in a character sketch,
and gives a study of the old time
negro dialect, color, costume and all.
Mr.. Sisson and Miss Wallace also have
parts in this act that serve to show
their particular talents to the best
advantage. AS a whole the enter
tainment is unique and has been meet
ing with crowded houses and most
creditable comment wherever given.
The Miller Sisson- Wallace company
will appear at Ravenscrofts' Opera
House next Tuesday evening.

Must STAY Elsewhere.

The hotels of this town, especially
in summer, would be crowded with
commercial travellers, but" IN their
own language, you have no Sunday
mails"
The commercial traveller, sad to say,
is an individual who will write letters
on Sunday. Away from home, he is
freer on that than other days to com
municate with wife and children. In
deed, that is the day he most thinks of
them-a wrong indulgence if it is
wrong to let them know it.
But in Frostburg he can take it out
IN thinking, because if he writes he
cannot mail until next day, and if they
write he has to go somewhere else to
get their letters.
The consequence is-the hotels have
to do without his patronage and the
town continue to get along under the
blight of a clerical legitimism as much
out of place in secular affairs as polit-
zeal interference would be in reguat-
ing the insanities which prevail in the
church on the single subject of baptism.

which provides for an appropriation O.
$4,000 for the purpose of erecting and con
Quoting State Normal School at Oakland
Md, to be known as State Normal Schoo
No. 2.-Baltimore Ne,ys.
Thereby hangs "a tale of two cities

Were the truth fully known, il

wish to see the measure fail.
1t is too late for it to go to Oakland
but not too late for Oakland, witt
Cumberland help, to defeat Frostburg

Representation without Taxation.

The Ministerial Association sought
Bible readings in the public schools.
1t gained nothing.
It opposed Sunday trains.
These are on and will stay on.
1t has again stepped out of its sphere
to oppose Sunday mails.
How the latest crusade will terminate
remains to be seen.
But it is safe to say that if any other
non-taxpaying crowd of professionals
were to assume so much management
of public affairs the people would soon
let them know that so much repre-
sentation without taxation is more
than they want and more than they
will have.

for ''habitual absentees" to decline
absolutely to contribute directly OF
