SHADOWS ON THE WALL.

When the room is tidy
Toys are put away,
Eyes are growing sleepy.
Skies are turning gray.
Comes the children's clamor
As they round me throug.
Fairy lore's exhausted,
Sung each nursery song.
In the mellow lamplight
flushed their voices all,
Whilst they watch me making
Shadows on the walli
Through the happy silence
Rings their laughter low
As upon the wall there
Shadows come and 60.
Nurse, unseen, unheeded,
Watches from the door,
Whilst the children's voices
Plead for just one morei
One by one they leave me.
Till sit alone,
Seeing in the twilight
Shadows of my own,
Long forgotten fancies,
Dreams in olden guise.
Till from heart to eyelids
Tears, unbidden, rise.
Happy, happy childreni
Time has joys for all:
Only some are fieeting

"CROsSED" MONEY ORDERS.
Safeguards Employed I'm England I'm

Safeguards Employed I'm England In
Making Small Remittances.
Americans who are buying books in
small quantities or are remitting dues
to the treasurers of English societies Of
which they happen to be members occa-
sionally receive printed or written re-
quest to use a CROSSED" order when
sending money. At first they are likely
to be mystified by the phrase. Even If
inquiry is made at the postoffice in this
country it is quite possible that no sat
isfactory explanation will be obtainable.
The remitting party will ascertain,
though, that American postoff1ces do not
issue "crossed' orders.
The term in question refers to two
lines drawn with a pen from the top to
the bottom of postal order on its face
apart. That treatment of money order
will prevent payment of it to any one
but banker, and if, as is sometimes
done, the name Of some particular bank
is written in the space between the
lines the order will be paid only to that
institution. 1t is not necessary to use
any words in addition to the name of
the bank. No explicit prohibition is re.
quired. The mere crossing of the order
is we'll understood signal to the Brit
ish postal authorities, for, while the
custom is comparatively unfamiliar to
people on this side of the Atlantic, it is
common enough in the United King
dom.
When an American remits money in
this manner, he crosses his order him
self, but in several foreign countries the
postoffice does not give the order to the
sender, but transmits it directly to the
paying Office. The person who remits
merely sends notice to the right person
to go to the postoffice and apply for the
money. Where this usage prevails the
postoffice issues crossed order because
the sender cannot cross the order him
self. Such is the practice, for instance,
in Germany, Belgium, Austria and
Italy.-New York Tribune.

4 Boy Killed, Another Seriously Injured
and IA Freight Brakeman Knocked
From His Train.
Last Saturday was but a few
hours old when the sad news was
conveyed throughout the town that
a young boy had been killed near the
Washington Spring bridge by train
No. 9, east bound, followed very close
" by message from Mountain Lake
Park stating that boy named Clay
ton had been thrown from a wagon
and very seriously injured.
The boy killed by train No. was
Perry Purnell, son of William Pur-
nell, residing on Water street, aged
about twelve years. From what we
could gather the lad had been en-
gagged for some time in driving COWS
to pasture field on the Bradley farm
near Oakland and was on his way to
the field to bring them home when a
freight train passed west. This train
the boy was watching when q passen-
ger train swung aroung the curve at
high rate of speed and before the
engineer could apply the brakes and
stop its momentum the entire train
had passed over the boys body, hor-
ribly mutilating it and crushing out
life instantly. The train was stopped
at some distance from the scene of
the accident and backed to where the
boy lay whose body was placed in a
sheet and brought to the station here
and later turned over to the undertake
ing firm of Bolden & Brown where it
was prepared for burial and encased
in a neat coffin and conveyed to the
stricken home. The funeral took
place on Sunday afternoon, the inter
ment being made in the Odd Fellows
cemetery.
Donald Clayton, whose home is at
Piedmont, West Va, but who is spend
ing the summer with his mother at
Mountain Lake Park, was thrown
from buggy at the station in Noun
tain Lake Park on last Saturday and
received serious injuries. The horse
attached to the buggy became fright
ened at the ringing of the electric
alarm bell at the crossing near the
station and ran away, throwing the
boy out. He was attended to by Drs.
Hinebaugh and McComas.
f. II. Hamilton, freight brake
man. was hnOChtu lIOlll lllC up vi d
car on his train by coming in contact
with the supports of the Smithman
bridge which spans the track at Third
street. In falling the man luckily
pitched forward into the tender of
the engine where he was found by
the engineer who reported the acct
dent to the railroad officials. DR..
Henry McComas, the company's ply
stefan here, had the injured man con
veyed to the hospital where his
wounds, consisting of several very
painful cuts about the forehead and
crown, were dressed. 1t was not
deemed advisable to allow the man to
leave the hospital until Sunday as it
was not known what complications
might occur, when he was sent to his
home at Cumberland.

WILLIAM ARLEY BROWN.

William Arley Brown, son of the
late Henry and Mrs. Rebecca Brown,
of near Friendsvilie, died on Sunday
| night at DR.. McComas' Sanitarium in
Oakland after months of intense suf-
tering caused by an incurable bladder
disease. The deceased was born near
Hoyes, this county, in December 1865,
being at the time of his death 80 years,
6 months and 81 days old. During
the early spring an operation was per-
| formed upon him by the surgeons at
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore,
from the effects of which he never
fully recovered, although everything
possible was done to relieve him.
He was brother of EX-Sheriff Aus
ten Brown, under whom he served in
the capacity of deputy during his
term of office and at the time of his
death was deputy sheriff under Sheriff
Lee, the present incumbent of the
office. AS an officer of the law he had
no superior and few equals, perform
ing his duties without fear, favor or
Partially.
Cut off in the prime of manhood
the blow is felt not only by his aged
and beloved mother, brothers and
sisters, but by all with whom he came
in contact, especially the young men
of Oakland with whom he was a great
| favorite. He was friend to every
body and everybody's friend; charit-
able to amarked degree, which virtue
alone endeared him to the people of
| Oakland and we may say Garrett
county, he being well known in all
sections.
On Tuesday morning the remains
were conveyed to Friendsville and
there placed in the parlor of the Craw-
ford House where they were viewed
by many sympathiZing friends. At
three o'clock the funeral cortege
wended its way from the hotel to
Blooming Rose M. E. church where a
short funeral service was held by Rev.
Hennen, pastor of the Friendsville
circuit, and then inferred in the GENE
terry adjoining.
The church was crowded to it's ut
most capacity whilst outside of the
building several hundred persons
stood during the service who could
not gain access.
The floral tributes were numerous
and beautiful. The Oakland friends
of the deceased sent pillow of roses
and carnations and large bunch of
lilies. Others sent handsome roses,
carnations, etc, which literally buried
the casket from sight.
The pail bearers, who accompanied
the funeral from Oakland, were w.
A. Sturgiss, DR.. r. F. Bartlett, Jerry
Browning, Eugene Hart, Samuel Law
ton and Benz. H. Sincell. Besides
the pail bearers some ten or twelve
other persons from Oakland were in
attendance.

Allthe Trout Gone.

The Maryland fish commissioner
A. f. George, of the Western Shore,
reported Monday that all the brook
trout fry Matched at Druid Hill Park
had been exhausted and there would
be no more for applicants this season.
The park hatchery is now at work on
shad. The commission this year sent
out $685. trout, which is the largest
number ever sent out in Maryland in
any one year. These fish, of course,
all went to the Western Shore, as
there are no trout streams on the
Eastern Shore.
From 1874 to 1896, inclusive, the
commission planted 1,335,213 trout.
For the last three years-1897, 1895
and 1899-trout were distributed as
follows: 1897, 1923, 005; 1898, 1872, 1876; 1899,
509,41. The total for the last three
years therefore is 1,220,601, or only
104, 612 fewer than in the twenty-five
years from 1874 to 1896
In 1895 rs, 400 trout were distributed
to 26 applicants. In 1896 70, 700 went
to IL applicants, making the total for
two years of 1856, 100 to 80 applicants,
while in 1898 3S2, 1875 were distributed
to 70 applicants and in 1899 500, All
went to 1870 applicants, the total for
the last three years being S91, 596 to
209 applicants. From 1888 to 1896, in
elusive, the commission planted 1885,
$50, while in 1898 and 1899 S91, SOC
young trout were put out. These are
165,546 more for the two years than
had been planted in the previous nine
years.
The commission is now busy with
shad Matching and expects to break
the record also on these fish, which
will be colossal undertaking, since
last year over 8,075, 900 were distribu-
ted, the number being nearly as
many as in the three previous years.
