Will look over the Journal he will find
there where votes against its passage.
The next we hear of the bill is that
Senator Westcott, of the Finance con-
mlttee, reported it unfavorably on the
last day of the session, and that the I'M
favorable report was adopted. Now,
IT the bill WIS rather to be preferred to
the amendment, it had already passed
the House, and the best evidence that
1t could not pass the Senate is the fact
that 1t did not pass. If Il two-thi ds
vote OF the Senate could have been Sc
cured Mr.. Dick would have had the
blli, but that vote could not be secured
and the bill was therefore dead.
But as a rider to the appropriation

ment through, as it was a part of a
measure that had the right-of-way as

Therefore, | repeat my assertion of

Cardell breathed nrw life into it with

Mr.. Campbell may write letter.

Legislative ability and resources were
not equal to the occasion, and but for
the presence on the spot of more
capable head the Normal School wou ID

He, too, is Faithful.

Lex is informed that no compari,
son was drawn, nor intended to be
drawn last week between R. W. Nc
Michael's work as States attorney pro
TEN. and that of Col. Pearre. To guard
against such contingency, the phrase,
without discrimination" was employ
ed. Hence, no reflection upon Col,
Pearre can be fairly twisted out Of the
JOURNAL sreport of McMichael's work.
Not only so, but the JOURNAL has
never heard a syllable against the
colonel's administration of his office.
That he has discharged its duties ably,
faithfully and conscientlously, is evil
dent IN the fact that nothing to the
contrary has been intimated.

n Health Ordinance.

The ordinance to prevent the
spread of contagious Diseases" passed
Monday evening, makes it the duty of
physicians
To report to Board of Health at once the
existence and location of any case of scarlet
fever, measles or diptheria, and of the bailitf
to placard the house accordingly, placard to
remain until Board of Health authorizes its
removal. The physician negectlng his duty
in the premises, or the person who dcfaces or
removes the placard without authority will
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and sub
ject to fine of not less than 81, nor more
than $40 for each otfense.
This is another instance of looping
off the branches of the tree instead of
digging it up by the roots.
An ordinance prohibiting hog pens
and some other filth nuisances within
corporate limits would very largely re-
duce the occasion for Illuminating in
nocent people by placarding THEN
houses.
To advertise case of diptheria in
the house of u citizen who keeps
neither hogs nor dirty premises, but
who lives near people who do offend
in those ways, is a wrong to him for
which there is no reparation this side
of the grave.
The true location for placardS, if
placards are deterrent, is on the
house of the man who keeps hogs.

Two Pointed . estions Answered
what is the use OF making a better article
than your competitor if you can get better
price for it?
Ans AS there is no difference in the price
the public will buy only the better, so that
while our profits may be smaller on single
sale they will be much greater in the aggre-
gate.
How can you get the public to know your
make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be tried
and the public will very quickly pass judg
ment on them and use only the better one.

CUMBERLAND, MD, Dec. s, 1898
To the MINING JOURNAL
In your last issue yon made mention
of the fact that one of the architects
submitting plans for the proposed
Normal School building at Frostburg
claimed that the designs submitted by
HIM could be carried out within the
amount of the appropriation, 500, 600.
| have not seen the plans in ques-
ton but presume they We're drawn in
accordance with the conditions and
requirements set forth in the pro
gramme furnished by the committee
having the matter in charge.
This being the case, wish to be put
on record with the statement that no
building meeting the conditions, and
properly designed. no matter By uhom,
can be built at Frostburg for anything
like the available sum. The man who
makes statement to the contrary is
grossly ignorant of the cost of building
in this locality, or does not under
stand the first principles of school
house design and would crowd fifty
scholars into space hardly large
enough for thirty or he is making a
deliberate mis- statement. trusting that
the building, once started, future APP
preparations will see him through. In
any cas-, the result would place the
committee in very awkward position,
and their decision shows that they
fully realized this.
Ihave designed enough school houses
for Allegany county to base my esti-
mates on something more than mere
guesswork, and reiterate--that to put
up school-building such as contem-
plated for $50, 900 is out of the ques-

There is another naval constructor in
the service of the United States whose
name is rarely mentioned, but who has
been even more successful than Lieu
tenant Hobson in raising and putting
into service Spanish ships sunk by our
navy. Lieutenant Washington Lee
Capps is a man of youth still, is of re-
tiring manners and of high skill. He
was sent out to Manila shortly after the
battle of Manila Bay and found several
Spanish ships on the bottom and in a
badly damaged condition, thanks to
Dewey's intrepidty and guns. He soon
fixed upon those he could save, with
the insufficient means at hand. He has
succeeded so well that three of the ships
which We're considered hopeless wrecks
have been raised and sent to Hongkong
under their own steam, where they are
now being refitted and will soon be
added to the United States navy. The
ships he has thus saved are of modern
construction and high class; they are
not large vessels, but exceedingly use
full ones, especially for bay and close
shore work The ships are the gun
boats Don Juan de Austria, Isla de
Cuba and Isla de Luzon. In shallow
waters they are especially desirable,
and such waters abound on the Asiatic
coast. Lieutenant Capps entered the
navy as a cadet engineer at Annapolis
October 1, 1880. Two years later he
was made full naval cadet, and grad
uated high in his class in 1884. He was
commissioned Ensign July /, 1886, and
went into the construction corps as an
assistant naval constructor June, 1888.
He attained to the rank of naval con-
structor January %, 1895. He is con-
sidered a high class expert in the naval
ship building yards, and stands finely
in the service generally.

her expenditure upon the line of reve-
nue. to be produced by certain taxation,
not contemplating such return as is
sued for, will assuredly be compelled
to recoup from the counties to make up
whatever is drawn from the State
treasury by reason of the suits referred
TO. The result will be that the tax
payers viii have to bear an added bur-
den, since the percentage to be paid
attorneys for recovering the money
from the State will be dead outlay and
loss. That is to say, the counties in
added taxes will have to restore TO the
general treasury the sum recovered,
and will besides have paid TO the at
torneys the percentage on the gross
sum agreed upon in advance. It would
seem, therefore, to be simply scheme
that skins taxpayers.

HAPPY CHINESE.
They Celebrate Christmas Wit
Much Spirit at the Mission.

No band of jolly tars ever sang,
Fifteen Men on a Dead Mans Chest!
Yo-ho! and a Bottle Of Rurn!" with
more zest and genuine enthusiasm
than was thrown into English songs
by Chinese vocalistS at the Methodist
Chinese Mission last night
The occasion was the celebration of
Christmas by members of the mission.
The entertainment consisted of reci-
tations, music and a Christmas tree.
The chief feature of the program was
the musical and vocal story called
The Prophet of Nazareth" which was
appreciated by a large audience.
During it's rendition there were many
striking songs. The Fong sisters
Fong Long, Fong Ping and Fong Lung
took part in the principal characters.
They We're applauded with great en-
thusiasm. Fong Lung is considered to
be one of the finest bass SoloiSts in
the city.
All the program except one song was
in English
After the literary and musical part
of the program was finished the audi
ence partook of a collation. that had
been prepared after which they recon
vened for an hour, and then dispersed.
