Tenders Banquet to a Number of
Hi Friends.
Last Thursday evening the medical
fraternity of Garrett county and also
a number of that profession from
Allegany county, Md, and Preston
county, W. Va, besides q few of the
citizens of Oakland, were present at
the opera house here and listened
very attentiyely to two lectures on
medical science delivered by DR.. Osler
and DIR. Tiffany, both of Baltimore.
DR.. e. H. Bartlett was chairman of
the meeting and after few remarks
introduced DR.. Osler, who spoke at
length upon tuberculosis in man and
animals. DIR. Osler advanced very
plausible theory whereby the disease
could be entirely stamped out were
&be proper sanitary measures observ-
ed by those who become victims of
the malady. His entire lecture was
listened to with rapt attention by
those present.
DR.. Osler was followed in his re-
marks by Dr. l.. McLane Tiffany,
who stands at the head OF his profes-
sion III this country, having been
connected with Johns Hopkins Hos
pital in Baltimore as surgeon for a
number of years The subject of DR..
Tiffany's lecture was appendicitis,
which was from ii scientific stand
point mastery effort
After the meeting at the opera
house Dr. McComas rendered a ban
quet in honor Of the visiting gentle
men to a large number of his friends
at the sanitarium, which was greatly
enjoyed by those in attendance. The
banquet table was spread in the
north parlor of the building and the
floral decorations were in keeping with
the eatables furnished, which, to say
the least, were superb. DR.. NcComas
took pardonable pride in showing his
guests through the house and the
different wards, all of which are filled
to their utmost capacity with
patients.
Those present at the banquet were
Drs. Tiffany and Osler, of Baltimore;
Twigg, of Cumberland; H. NJ. Proud
foot, of Rowlesburg, w. Va; j. W.
King, of Terra Alta; A. j. Mason, of
Friendsville: c.. j. Fazenbaker, of

lated by that gentleman upon his sue
cess in establishing the sanitarium
and predicted bright future for the
institution.

A Chilly Easter,

Easter in Oakland was a sombre hol-
iday, too chilly to be filled with the
warmth of spring and the perfume of
flowers. True, the sun shone at times,
but the greater part of the day the
wind clustered around carrying be-
fore it clouds of snow and making the
day very disagreeable.
Like the day, the persons appearing
upon the streets and in the churches
wore a sombre look. As a rule, the
dresses were dark and the hats were
of last winters vintage. Still there
were some women who braved the
weather and came out in all the glory
OF spring gowns and Easter bOnnets.

No More "orainnrx,, sIecpers.

Some time ago the Pullman Com
pany, as an experimental measure,
introduced "Ordinaryn sleeping car
service on the B. & O. r. r. between
Baltimore and the West. The results
to the Railroad Company were very
gratifying, but as the Pullman Com
pany could not furnish this class Of
ears TO all roads operating east of
Chicago and st. Louis, and to avoid
inequality of service, the 3. & 0. will
resume the standard cars previously
in service commencing April 10th.

According to the Chestertown Tran
script the ladies who have organized
an improvement association in that
place are liable to be confronted with
a large field for their labor. 1t maps
out some work for them to do itself,
suggesting the need of a street sprink-
Ter and the removal of the old engine
house from its present site on one of
the beautiful squares of the town to
a less conspicuous place Like as not
the ladies will not only have the en-
gine-house removed, but better one
built. The influence of such associa-
tions in other places has been of great
advantage. Chestertown is fortu-
nate in having a body of women who
have not only imbibed the spirit of
civic pride themselves, but are help
ing others to do so.

The City BaStile on Fire,

Monday morning about ? o'clock a
number of the residents of Oakland
residing in the neighborhood of the
town lookup were aroused from their
slumbers by some one calling loudly
for help and upon investigation it
was found that the building used as
lookup and council cham Der was on
fire, having beed ignited by an over
heated stove in the lower portion of
the building where a number of
tramps were confined. The bed
clothing catching fire created great
cloud of smoke and being confined in
the room nearly smothered the un-
fortunates before they could be re-
leased from their dangerous predica-
ment.

If every man who has the money to

every other man who docs not have
the money would be provided with
means to pay his debts. A single

convenience to score of others who
cannot pay simply because of his neg
lect. If people would try to under
stand that individual prosperity and

the citizens with patriotic airs, and

The parade will in all probability
be one Of the best ever inaugurated in

Immediately Effective.

Judge Cant in special term of dis
trict court Saturday afternoon decid-
ed the important question raised by
the West Duluth Building and Loan
association in favor of the county.
The point was whether or not the fore
feited tax sale is effective as soon az
the property was knocked down to the
successful bidder. The county officers,
against whom the case was brought,
held this to be the case, while the as
ISOLATION claimed that the sale was
not effective until the certificate Of
sale was made out and delivered,
and that it had right to redeem in
the meantime. Judge Cant decided
that there is no right to redeem after
the sale, and the case will undoubted-
ly be appealed, as the question is an
important one that it is to the intef-
est of everyone concerned To have de-
tinitely settled.

is played only S25 will be given. The
admission to the grounds will be free,
but grand stand privileges will be
charged for. The Ely boys and the
Virginia team are fairly matched and
no side will have much the best of it.
Dooley will in all probability hold the

have avoWed that a ball game was a
nuisance on the Fourth, but what
would national celebration be with
out the national game. Let us be
strictly American at least on the
Fourth of July and especially this
year. Those who canpot enjoy a good
exhibition of ball playing can stay
away; the majority of people do enjoy
it. Besides the game will afford the
spectators an hour or more of rest to
recuperate for the balance of the day.
After the ball game, the small sports
scheduled to take place on either First
or Second avenue will be pulled Off.
This is always an interesting pro-
mountaineering because of the
large amount of rivalry it occasions
among the rising generation. The
sports and prizes as slated are as fol-

We Have the Money The People, The Enthusiasm, The
Talent and Will Have the Best Celebration

In the running events and it is ex-
pected that about ten starters will
toe the scratch on both the young
and old squaw races. The mems and
boys running races, the egg and
hurdle races and the other races are
interesting and attract much atten-
tion,
After these sports an event has
been arranged which will attract
large crowds. This is the tug of war
between the Firms and Austrians. A
good natured rivalry has always ex-
listed between these two nationalities
as regards strength and a small test
in the shape of tug of war, ten men
to a side. will give them a chance.
The prize for this has been set at $40
upon condition that the winners pull
team of ten men picked from among
the town people for another prize of
$40, This will give the winners a
chance to double their money. The
judges for this event are A. D. Ellef-
sen, Jacob Pete and JOS Agnich.
AS soon as darkness sets in, the
most brilliant display of fireworks
ever seen in this section Will be fired
from the hill south of the city. The
collection of pieces for this display
embraces everything that is fine and
the list comprises, rockets. set pieces,
candles, mines, etc, in prOfusion, A
competent man has been engaged to
superintend the firing of the display
and no doubt the exhibition will be a
successful one.
A grand ball at the pavilion in the
evening will wind up the days merry
making. For this, the best of music
has been secured and sufficient
prompters and floor managers will be
on hand. The admission to the
pavilion will be Csc, the proceeds to
! be devoted to the fire department,
members Of which will have charge of
the floor.
All in all, the day will be one of
unusual brilliancy provided the wealth
er permits. From early morning un-
til late at night the events, each
! better than the one before, will crowd
each other. No pains nor expenses
have been spared to make this a sue
cess. When Ely goes in for anything
great, it usually gets it, We have
! the money, the enthusiasm, the
people and will have the grandest
celebration in the Northwest. Every
body is invited to come and spend the
day with us and we can assure you a
splendid reception and programme.
