GENERAL ITEMS.
1t was not Catsup.

One of the Dewey Day visitors will
long have cause to remember his visit
to New York. He stopped IN well
known cGte, and among other things
ordered sirloin steak. a bottle of
tObasco sauce was on the table, and
installing it for catsup he spread 1t
quite lavishly on the steak and settled
down to enjoy the meal. He cut off a
big piece, but no sooner had it struck
his mouth than he began to feel like
his tongue was on fire. He twisted and
turned, and soon had the eyes of every
one in the dining hall fastened on him.
The more he twisted and screwed his
face the hotter the steak IN his mouth
got. He didn't know what was the
matter. He could stand it no longer,
anG reaching up his hand he jerked
out the burning bite, threw II on the
floor, and, in very dramatic way,
exclaimed: Now, d-n you, blaze y

How il Was.

In its pretty thorough cross eXam-
ination of the Cumberland Ne,rs the
other day the Cumberland independent
errs slightly in the following para
graphs:
The Ne,rs makes some reference to the
Frostburg MINING Journal as the paper that
started the cry Settle the pulp-mill ques-
ton at the ballot box" The JOURNAL was
not the originator ofthat statement. 1t start
ed with Piedmont papers and was kept up
by Piedmont papers and people.
The MINING JOURNAL be it said to its credit,
went about the matter with some degree of
reason.
The JOURNAL suggested, not the election of
States attorney who would fail to have the
law enforced, but the election of legislators
who would have the law repealed.
The independent cannot account for the
JOURNALS endorsement of the fusion move
ment unless it happened that the JOURNAL
saw proper for once to openly, frankly and
wisely sum up a situation.
The Piedmont papers did not first
suggest making Potomac pollution an
issue at the polls.
1t was the JOURNAL.
The independent is right, however, in
saying that the JOURNAL laid stress
upon the election of a Legislative del
egation committed to the repeal of an
tiquated anti-pollution laws.
AS to States attorney, it proposed
that man should be chosen who. in
the construction of his oath would see
no difference between corporations nor
individuals, and none between pollu-
tons that pollute, whether artifcially
or naturally.
In its views of what is called "fusion"
the JOURNAL did not include any con-
Germ whatever for or against pollution.
1t was actuated by an intuition that
the whole people might gain something
from a movement toward the re-estab-
lshment of their right to be represent
ed in convention as they had voted.

Condolences.

Several papers contend that the
States attorneys name will be Wilson
And that Eckhart is sure to get the
treasurership.
1t remains for the JOURNAL to cor
roborate these prophecies and add the
colncldent factsconcerning the latter
|, That both Messrs. Owen Price,
ir., republican nominee for treasurer,
and John W. Arnold, democratic
nominee, both of Eckhart, were born

Big Work and New Mines.

The JOURNAL met Mine Inspector
Alex. Rankin Wednesday and in
CURED what is the news ~
He replied as follows:
As far as work is concerned in and around
the mines it is going with a rush never be-
fore observed i'll this region. The shipments
to date aggreyat a sum about 10000 tons
greater than ever before in the nearly 81
years of its working existence.
With the development both of new mines
and improved methods of mining, there is
no reason to doubt that shipments will still
increase in the future should the demand
keep up.
There is now one more mining company
located at Homecoming known as the Iona
coming Coal company. 1t has opened a new
mine and erected stationary engine to let
the coal down an incline plane a distance of
l 200 feet to the G. G.. q c. r. r., and is
ready to ship coal
The American Coal company also has
opened small vein at Homecoming and is
shipping coal right along.
The same company is at work at its
Barton mine, known as Caledonia" open
ing the same vein, above the Big Vein, known
as the Tyson 1t is grading and laying
plane from the tracks of the Big Vein"
mine up to the smaller vein above and will
soon be ready to load coal
The Piedmont Mining company has opened
low vein, located at Moscow, and is ready
to ship coal.
The Barton Mining company, Malcolm
Sinclair, superintendent, has placed "A large
air-compresser engine and is mining coal
satisfactorily with the celebrated "Ingersolr'
machine.
The DAVIS Coal company has one of the
finest openings into the six foot vein in this
region. ltalso uses the mining machine with
good results.
All of this goes to prove that our ship
ments will continue to meet the demand for
a long time yet.
But, speaking of coal mines if you will but
90 down to the Carlos branch of the &. Il 2.
R., and up to the Hitchins mine, where
there are two openings and one other under
way, you will see black diamonds to the
amount of LOO tons per day handled and
loaded on the big cars with rush that only
those who know how can appreciate.
Leaving these mines and going about one
mile out to what is known as mo - of the
Consolidation Coal company, you will
see coal mining and lOadingin all their glory.
Here is the finest opening into a coal seam
that is in America. Walled up with stone and
cement, it is model of excellence III mining
engineering In addition there are two
other openings into the coal, from which
there is shipped 500 tons a day. Here you
will see carpenters erecting large house over
a fan % feet in diameter; stonem Isons, brick
layers and laboring men erecting boiler
house and engine-house and laying founda-
tiOns-all rushing the work to completion
rapidly as possible. These operations seem
to manifest desire OH the part of this great
company to make NO. r second IL equip
ment and appointments to no mine in this
country.

Party "TheOsOphy."

1t is estimated that each tluke as
well as yacht race costs the people OF
New York mil. ion dollars -an eXpend-
iture among boatmen that creates a
condition called prosperity"
At first blush it would seem that if
yacht races and tlukes contribute so
much to "prosperity," why not yacht
races and fukes all the time?
On second thought, however, 1t is
seen that, in time, what is prosperity
to the boatmen would become "adver-
sity" to their patrons.
"Prosperity" is, therefore, con-
dition comparative rather than posi-
tive abnormal rather than normal !;
artificial rather than natural temper
al rather than permanent, especially
when stimulated by any OF the eX-
ceptional announcements implied by
the qualifications named.
The prosperity of one individual,
industry, community, or country Is,
moreover, invariably founded on the
corresponding adversely of some other
individual, industry, community, or
country somewhere. This Is just as
sure as that when the tide rises on one
shore it has receded from high-water
mark on some other.
To the thoughtful mind, therefore,
all the talk of prosperity present, as
due to high tariff, or prospective as
result of free coinage, is rated as
wholly and purely delusive, mostly
self delusive of those who indulge 1t.
To such it appears as a sort OF party
theosophy which teaches its adherents
that the term, ''poverty," for instance,
is descriptive Of nonresident If not
an impossible condition.
But the plain, undeniable, inescap-
able fact remains that there is poverty
in the land-poverty that is the reflex
product of legislative provisions under
which the comparative few get rich
and richer.

The Kansas City (Mo.) Star says
'some Kansas newspaper men are in
sisting that the funeral notices and
obituaries of men who refused to take
the local paper during their lifetime
shall be tackled on fences or telegraph
poles the same as election notices. "
Frostburg Mayors and Councilmen, al
most without exception. believe the
true method of publishing an ordi-
nance is to paste 1t on telegraph pole,
already an ugly street obstruction, for
getting that an ordinance is an implied
obituary of some old-fogy practice.
But the true, up-to-date, business place
for all announcements is in the town
newspapers-aN the newspapers rather
than on all the telegraph poles. Other
wise, the newspapers should agree to
relegate hereafter the death notices
and obituaries of all Mayors, eX-
Mayors, Councilmen and ex-Council-
men to circulation by the ubiquitous
poster paster.
