Bright as q New Dollar.

The JOURNAL met James Welsh, the
venerable centenarian, on the street
Monday, and accosted him
why, Mr.. Welsh, glad to see you
some of the papers report you as sick
abed, and here you are chippier than
harvest hand ~
eyes, and they say am of Frost
burg when everybody knows | don't
live in Frostburg :"
"Well, we are glad to have it said
that you are of Frostburg.' 1t is an
honor to u.s.
"Well, | sometimes think | would
like to live in Frostburg. If did. |
would be one of the aristocracy, sure !.
But, coming back to me health-Fm
feeling pretty good Indade, had a
notion this bright, lovely morning to
put rose in the lapel of me coat and
make mash to-day ~
And the bright, happy old man,
apparently unconscious of his genuine
wit, went on to have banter with
others of his numberless friends.

Early Closing.

The merchants of Frostburg should
come together, agree upon an early
closing hour and then stick to tue
compact. Those of nearly every other
advanced town do this indeed, it is a
reflection upon the responsibility of
the town that the stores should keep
their people at work from II to Is
hours daily. The custom is archaic,
belonging to past age, and one now
that will be tar more highly ''honored
IN the breach than in the observance

JOURNAL last week, was returned by
the finder on Monday to the Gladstone
hotel. In other words, for 81 the

Truly, it looks like a waste of money
to attempt to endeavor to make an
effort to find the lost in leading cir
culations.' Indeed, it appears, more
than ever, that to save even the ninety

is needful to put both your faith and

The trial Of the suit against the
Fidelity Mutual Life Association of
Philadelphia to recover %25, 900 on a
policy of insurance on the life of the
late w. r. Percy is proceeding in
Baltimore. 1t is alleged by the COM
pany that Mr.. Percy made false state
ments in his application for insurance,
and that, being hopelessly insolvent,
he conceived the idea of taking out a
large life insurance and then com
hitting suicide. His object, it is
claimed, was to realize enough to pay
his debts and make good the trust es-
tates in which he was short. All these
allegations, however, are denied by
the plaintiffs. Those present from

Structs readable stories of battle,
whether resulting in triumph or de-
feat. His latest concerns the game
last Saturday, which the JOURNAL be-
lieves to be the most creditable to d0th
teams ever played at the Park
AS fancy works of art the Frostburg Base
ball Club would not bring fancy prices, col
lectively nor Individually. But as ball
players they demonstrated last Saturday they
are worth a whole lot Every man on the
team-from Williams, behind the bat, to
"Old Man" Jack, in right field, played good
ball and, in consequence, smothered the
Homecoming team completely.
The latter team was short of Pollock and
MCGEE, but had in their stead Entler, the
"cyconic' twirer Of Vale Summit and Nc
Guigan, of Piedmont both of whom put up
very fine ball. Especially can this be said
of McGuigan, whose throwing to second base
has been seldom if ever equaled on the Park

doubt the visitors played the steady uphill
contest that has always characterized their
work, and never gave up till the last man
was put out in the ninth inning

celent showing against "Coney" He was
given good support by every man on the
team, the out feders especially doing some
excellent playing John Spates two running
catches in deep left-iield We're the features of

That is "A favorite trick of the JOURNAL.
When we showed how the Cumberland gas
company had coniscated its Frostburg stock,
and was employing the WHINE to defend that
unlawful transaction it fell back upon an
alleged statement by an anonymous prom
inent' who mumbled out something which
he diCn't think, but there was a change in
the gas officials just the same. Let the
anonymous prominent tell why.-For~m.
1.-The anonymous prominent is
George H. Wittig, man who does not
''mumble out something he doesn't
Think
And now it is quite certain that had
the Forum known that Mr.. Wittig is
"the anonymous prominent" it would
not have written so slightingly Of him.
The disclosure of Mr.. Wittig's name
shows, therefore, that if the Forum is
as accurate in guessing at and I'M
peachlng motives as it is in supposlng
Anonymous prominents, it is the
most unreliable of all the sheets that
are making Il specially of the art of
hypothesis.
Mr.. Wittig said distinctly that he
did not believe the JOURNAL was get
ting anything from the gas company
that it was not earning in the regular,
legitimate, business way
He is right.
He could ~say, moreover, that the
JOURNAL is a far better customer of
the gas company than the company Is
of the JOURNAL.
And anybody connected with the
company can support him, by oath if
necessary, in the statement that the
JOURNAL gets nothing from the COM
pany nor any stakeholder of the com
pany, directly or indirectly. for any
such purpose as the Forum intimates.
