An Ordinance granting the Postal
Telegraph and Cable company the
privilege of erecting poles and string
ing wires through the corporate limits
was read.
A protest against the erection of a
building on Union street, by Mrs. e..
A. Gross, signed by Marx Wineland
and others, was read.
The following application for build
ing permit was read and grated:
Mr. Burns for shop on avenue, 2Ox3O feet
Then the permit asked by Mrs.
Gross to erect two-story addition to
her property Oh Union street, the di-
mansions of which are 80 by 60 feet,
frame. covered by iron, with tin roof,
was read, and Mr.. Crump objected be-
cause there was no foundation-that
the building was being erected upon
posts I or S feet high.
After a lengthy discussion Mr..
Shuckhart moved that the permit be
granted. Carried.
The Ordinance concerning con-
tagious diseases was passed.
The Ordinance granting the Postal
Telegraph Gable company the right to
erect poles, wires and apparatus in the
corporate limits was
On motion of Mr.. Crump, passed.
DR.. Griffith stated that he had a
resolution he wished the Clerk to read.
In brief the resolution is as follows
Roberdeau Amman, cashier of the First
National Bank, is appointed agent of Mayor
and Council to refund the outstanding bonds
that is, to receive the proceeds of new issue
of Water Bonds of 1898, pay the same over tc
holders of old bonds, the Treasurer mean.
while paying to Amman sufficient sum tc
meet the coupons maturing Jan. l, 1899
For the faithful performance of his duties
as such agent the second paragraph requires
Amman to give bond in sum of $4,000. He
is also required to report in writing from time
to time his proceedings as such agent, etc.
Mr.. Price moved that the resolu.
ton be adopted. Carried.
Mayor said it would be in order now
to take up the water question, stating
that there is now a 3 inch flow of water
the well being down $50 feet. He
thought it would be good idea, in
stead of boring deep well, to bore
one or two more the same depth a,
the one already down, which would
not cost any more.
DR.. Griffith asked if it was not pos
sible that, owing to the wet weather
etc., that the we'll was flowing now
more than it would in dry.
Mr.. Price said that he understood
! when the contract was made that the

Good Drinking Water.

The analysis which appears IN the
Council report is very satisfactory.
The per centage of chlorine is large,
but, emanating from other than
Objectionable sources, is not regarded
as seriously eXceptionable. The well
passes through 24inch layer of car
Donate of lime Qimestone,) whence the
water derives that ingredient.
Were the chlorine the product of
sewage, the per centage named would
make it unusable.
The determination of Council to drill
yet deeper affords ground for the ex-
pectation that taps Of other flows will
enable the leasing off, of the present
threeinch output and thus get water
lnfallibly pure.
1t sasource of no little qualification
to those citizens who have always so
held that water can be reached by drill
on this side of the mountain. The re-
suit, sooner than expected, veri6es the
accuracy of their Judgment, and if
further drill develops enough good
water to enable the town to do away
with the expensive pumping ma
chinery, they will be happy indeed.
And the peopleen naasse ought to "rise
and call them blessed"
Honor to Whom Honor is Due"
The journal regards ex-Maycr
Bears suggestion-"stop the Normal
School dispute"-as one that ought to
be adopted by all concerned.
For in due time, it is hoped, all in
strumental in securing the institution
will be accorded full credit for their
work-some perhaps more than they
deserve.
In justice to James Campbell it must
be said that he was from the beginning
a staunch, enthusiastic promoter of
the bill. 1t was his bold stand at the
outset that gave the measure the stand
ing it afterward obtained. 1t was he,
bbu ulOuC3 WIZ ultl dl tu0 luEGSu-
hold and overthrow the Cumberland
leave selection of ioca-
ton to the State Board of Education
knowing full well what that meant.
But for his courage and persistence at
this critical point the bill, so far as
Frostburg was concerned, would have
been dead long before it reached the
stage where, Mr.. Ratigan says, Mr..
McCardell 'breathed into it the breath
of life."
TO the JOURNAL, therefore, it appears
that, instead of treating final stages OF
the bill as its whole history, Mr.. Rati-
gan should thank Mr., Campbell for the
opportunity that he tCampbelD afforded
Mr.. McCardell to win the glory of saw
ing it from the populous domain of
Legislative oblivion.

japanese journalism.

Japanese journalism, says a
missiOnary's wife, "is a singular
profession in many of its features
There is practically no such thing
as freedom of the press in Japan
Whenever a newspaper publishes
something unfriendIy to the govern
ment it is suppressed and the editor
is sent to prison. The real editor is
never imprisoned, though. Every
newspaper has what the japanese
call 'dumy editor, and it is his
sole duty to go to jail every time the
paper is suppressed for offending
the MikadO. Then the real editor
changes the name of the paper and
keeps on publishing it. Dummy
editors spend most of their time in
prison. "-LippincOtt's Magazine.
