Hog-Pens.

A dispatch to the Baltimore .Su,
says:
The annual crusade against hog pers has
begun in Hagerstown. The policemen re-
port that the number of pig-stys is not de-
| creasing and that many of them are in a
very filthy condition. Several years ago the
secretary of the State health board took the
matter up and made several prosecutions,
but since then no action has been taken.
Last year the county health officer, DR.. j.
McP. Scott, appealed to the city council TO
get rid of the nuisance, but the authorities
ignored his recommendations. Every body
realizes however that the time is drawing
near when the hog-pen Will have to move
out of town, as the city is getting too large to
tolerate nuisance which the health author
tiles say is constant menace to the COM
munity.
In olden times it was said in the
cities
To the country for health.
The advances made in the science
of sanitation-the exclusion of hog
pen and other filth nuisances, the sup
preston of dust, mud, and similar
treatment of other unwholesome ad-
juncts of city life, have wellnigh trans
posed the maxim to mean-to the city
for health, even from the towns.
The latter ought to be cleaner and
healthier. but as long as many people
insist that, although living in town.
they must still have farm privileges,
the city is the safest place of residence.
Frostburg is, therefore, too big and
ought to be too proud to tolerate a
hog pen, for there is no calculus
through which it can be determined
how vast a volume of the towns
salubrity is destroyed by one of those
denominations,
Moreover, respect for good nelghbor-
ship ought to be sufficient to Danish
every hog pen from town.
But if nothing else will do-they
should be driven out by all the forces
that the law can provide, for, as John
Stuart Mill says
The liberty of the individual must be thus
far limited-he Must not 0uhe himselt nui-

Borrowing its ethics from the pro-
fessional labor organ, the Cumber-
land Independent proffers the following
hint to the pulp-mill people:
The pup-mill ombnation therefore will
gain nothing by engaging the JOURNAL to
make music for them. If their object is to
change public sentiment in this community
and in that way secure an abandonment of
the case against the polluters of the river
their work may as well be given upin the be-
ginning.
Concerning its course in the Potomac
pollution matter the JOURNALS action
has been wholly voluntary.
Not a syllable, directly nor Indirect
ly, has passed between 'the pulp mill
combination" and this paper.
We can say, therefore, that we have
been constantly and wholly disin-
terested friend of both Cumberland
and the pul p-mill people, endeavoring
in proper way to suggest recourse
that will save the mill and bring at
once to Cumberland that which must

worth's nature was often very amusing
to his friends, since it sometimes
brought him to the expression of opin-
ions which seemed diametrically oppos-
ed. Once while he was looking at a
magnificent scene in the lake country
he said to his companion:
'Travelers often make their boast of
Swiss mountains ON the ground that
they are two or three times as high as
the English, but I reply that the clouds
lie SO low ON them that half of them
commonly remain out of sight" The
other answered, perhaps rather dryly:
"That is true

remembering that it was folly to
Beard the lion in his den,

1t might be inexpedient to do battle
with the prophet and priest of English
mountains when he stood ON his own
ground.
"You cannot see those boasted swiss
mountains when the clouds hang low, !"
Wordsworth continued pertinaciously.

But after pause, he spoke again
but must admit he said, "you

posed, he would not have withdrawn

came up and touching his hat asked:

The old man took off his hat dubious

A New Incandescent.

The Manufacturer says:
If German expectations are realized electric
lighting stands on the threshold of new
age, in which its field of application should
be very much increased The director of the
eectro-chemica laboratory in the University
of Gocttingen, Prof. Nernst, has invented a
new incandescent lamp, which differs from
all existing models, not only in its system of
construction, but, furthermore, has the high
ly important advantage that it uses not more
than half according to some accounts, one
quarter) of the electric power which is neces-
sary to run the electric incandescent lamps
of the present pattern.
The main point made public regard
ing the discovery is that the glowing
fllament Of the new lamp does not burn in
the vacuum of glass pear-shaped globe as
is the case with the carbon tilament at pres
ent. The glowing body is a thread three
centimetres in length and half centimetre
in diameter though the nature and character
of it have still not been revealed.
The most important point seems to be that
the invention consumes so much less electric
energy. This will make an enormous differ
ence in the cost of installing an electric light
ing system.
1t is thought that this invention will wide
ly extend the use of the electric light, es-
pecialy in private houses.
The article. quite lengthy, is short
ened by emitting technical details,
these only such as the professor per-
mitted to be given out from his ap-
plication for a patent.
But of what immediate avail are new
and cheaper lights to people who sub
nit to five-yeal mortgage upon their
pockets?
If all were like them, invention and
discovery might as we'll stop.
Their premiums are for fossilized
monopoly, not for progressive phi
lanthropy.

A GOOD BUSINESS HEAD.

''Finally," went on the fearless man
without noticing the interruption,
"Jennie asked me if | would give her "a
penny if she kept still until the end of
the trip. To be real frank, it looked
like cinch, as they say i'll sporting

her to keep still that length of time"

Church Music.

ShuEtll
e." writing for the keyser, CIV.
Na.) hcho, approves the JOURNALS re-
marks two weeks ago concerning mod
ern church music in nearly a column of
sound criticism, supported by Scrip
tural citations.
Speaking of 1.-THE hymns that are
written and the music that is folsted
on apathetic congregations to-day"
he says "neither are composed nor
sung for the glory Of Cod

1t has been long time evident that
the churches have got to come back to
the melodies which reach and stir the
very depths of the spiritual con
sciousness.
The world can never be regenerated
with unregenerate music as an ac-
compartment.
The paragraph below from recent
number of the Nashville (Tenn.)
Adcocate is along the same line:
Much of the singing in some of our Meth.
odist churches is neither edlfying to the COM
mon layman nor soul-inspring to those who
understand it. 1t would not move one sinner
in million to a higher and better life. The
very best that can be said of it is it gratifes
the aesthetic taste of few who attend church
to hear music. We are fully persuaded that
if congregations where it is practiced were not
desirous of keeping up with the times they
would not tolerate it for day. While listen
ing to it we can but think of Mr.. Lincoln's
commentator of a certain book ITO those
who like this sort of thing this is the thing
they like"

woman, herself never initiated, having
witnessed an initiation, right to be
initiated if she applies? Or has the
lodge the right to exact an obligation
from her to keep its secret work with
out imposing upon her all tue horrors
of ceremonial goat ride ?
To institute an analogy between the
church and lodge is warranted only in
very extreme cases and that by the
most astute rhetorical strategy.

ROOSEVELT BY 2l,296.
That the Plurality of the Republican
Candidate Tor Governor of
New York.

NEW YoRK, November l0.-Corrected
returns show: Roosevelt plurality all
outside of Greater New York, l07, 1856;
Van Wyck's pluralities in Albany, Che
mung, Clinton, Erie, Rensselaer, and
Schoharie counties and Greater New
York, $3.50. Roosevelt's plurality ),
21,2S6.
New YoRE, Nov l0.-The latest fig
ures obtainable show that Roosevelt's
plurality in the state is not far from
10000. Only ten counties in the state
gave Van Wyck pluralities, and they
were al localities swayed by cities, as
New York, Kings, Queens and Erie.
The falling off in Roosevelt's plurality,
as compared with Blacks in 1896, is
due to q decrease in the Republican vote
up the state Of 1000 and in Greater
New York of $4,000 Against this,
Van Wyck gained 20, coo above the Har-
lem and $4,000 below it, as compared
with Porter two years ago. The result
on congressman in this state seems to
have surprised even tho Democrats
themselves Nineteen of their candi-
dates were elected, the Republicans
getting but 10. In the present house

After the gubernatorial contest as
much interest was taken in the state
legislature as in anything else. The
state senate will be Republican by and
the assembly by 20.
Political interest from now on will
center about the senatorship, and al
