State Normal School, No. =.

Gov. Lowndes advised the local
committee Monday afternoon that the
State Board of Education would visit
Frostburg Tuesday to take action con-
corning the selection of a site for State
Normal School No. 2.
The party accordingly arrived on the
forenoon train and were received at
the station by C. F. Nickel, Mayor,
Joseph Bear, ex-Mayor, Rev A. C.
Haverstick, F. C. Beall, DIR T. Griffith,
Hon James Dando and the JOURNAL as
an individual.
Attic Hotel Gladstone the register
disclosed the names of Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes, governor and er-o9leio presi-
dent of the Board, of Cumberland; E.
B. Prettyman, secretary, Rev. DR.. j. C..
Nicholson, j. W. Cushing, of Balti-
more: 4. P. Wharton, of Stockton ;
Prof. Il. C. Ebaugh, of Reistertown, and
Prof. j. E. Edwards, county examiner,
of Cumberland.
The Board at once went into session
in one of the hotel parlors, Rev. Mr..
Haverstick initiating the proceedings
by placing the enveloped bids in the
governors hands. These were open
ed, the secretary making an abstract.
Carriages were taken and the thir-
teen sites offered were visited.
Dinner was taken at the Gladstone
and the visitors left for Mt. Savage,
where they were Hospitality and ele-
gantly entertained by Capt. John Sher-
idan.
At 10 o'clock p. m. telephone
message from the governor to Mr..
Haverstlck conveyed the informa ito n
that Beall's Park had been selected
a site perhaps not as eligible as some,
but better than others. The park was
not offered by F. c. Beall, executor,
but someone inveigled him into name
Ing his price, $4,000, and, against his
protest, it was considered by the
Board, with the result stated.
NOTES.
The site is LOT gently declining
eastward, of about three acres, located
on the southwestern edge of town,
and well studded with massive oaks.
In at least one respect it is not an
ideal site, but school locations, no mat
ter where, like everything under the
sun, have their drawbacks. Let those,
therefore, who hear the Boards choice
condemned reflect that such result was
inevitable, no matter where it had
fallen.
The Cumberland Ne,cs says ''every
location was visited and no attempt
was made to influence the board in
the selection of any one SITE" This
is almost literally true, no doubt. A
little littleness cropped out, however,
in nndertone opposition to one of the
sites by couple of parties.
A canvassing committee comprising
John Chambers, chairman Rev. a. C.
Haverstick, secretary c. II. Walker,
treasurer, Otto Hohing and C. o.
Towles, will soon begin soliciting sub
scriptions. On no account ''turu them
empty away but join your neighbors
in contributing yonr share to what will
be the best institution that has ever
been available to the town. Especial

to prevent you from doing your part
in promoting ii common good, TIC

it will be praiseworthy to accompany
your subscription with the cash OF
check.

have lasted.
The Midland Press has the following to
say
Scorer" of the Frostburg JOURNAL, seems
to think he is a very funny fellow, but his
wit was dimmed with sadness whenever he
thought of that trip to Meyersdale-as
Whittier says, "Of all sad words of tongue or
pen the saddest are it might have been"
But wait till they come to Frostburg. Well
get Tubble at them.
Did you ever read such rot? This fellow
has very bad case of RATHER. The Scorer
has been going to Meyersdale with the Frost
burg club once and twice season for the past
seventeen years and in all that time has won
but twice over there. However, he was never
shut out with the best (?) club on Georges
creek. think everyone of the Meyersdale
team will admit that Mr. Hansel, or as the
Press calls him, "Tubble,' gave them what
we never got at Midland-'justice" At least,
he never gave eleven men passes to first base
in six innings, nor did he ever call man
"out" and "in" in the same breath But as
everyone will admit, Mr.. Hansel umplred a
game that was tie for many innings and by
his thorough knowledge of the game and
just and impartial decisions, gave perfect sat
isfaction. This little splash of "mud-sling-
ing" doesn't hurt anyone; it only shows it is
more to Midland taste than playing ball. and,
in time, will run its little string.
