To the MINING JOURNAL.
The article addressed to the people
of Cumberland in the JOURNAL Il few
weeks ago was Il fair presentation of
the matter of Potomac river pollution,
and after candidly considering the
whole subject | am convinced that
we can never get rid of pollutons of
the river. We will never be able to
get pure water from the Potomac,
even should the pulp mills cease their
operations.
The other sources Of pollution are too
numerous to leave the water in a safe
condition for drinking and cooking
purposes.
The JOURNALS article threw a great
deal of healthy light on the subject,
as many had not looked at it through
the great papers glasses. J.M.

New County.

Hiram p. Tasker, here short time
ago looking after landed affairs along
the new Garrett county boundary
line, says there are HIP acres of land
in Allegany county non assessed, and,
therefore, untaxed, and 81, ST. in Gar
rett-67 ,523 in all.
That is over lO5! square miles.
If the assessors have missed all that
territory in SO important matter as
keeping the taxable basis as high as
possible, how do the geographers, with
no such incitement nor interest, know
that there are less than l,2OO square
miles in the two counties
Fellow-citlzens, why not move to
ascertain whether there are over LOO
square miles in the two counties, and
in that event move yet further for an
other county Georges Greek by name
Nothing will so surely and everlast
ingly stihe that sickly depreciation Of
bad feeling between the people of the
mining region and the people of this
city" which is piped out to US now and
then as if we cared or ought to care
anything about it.
While we are antagonizing the de-
structiveness of pulp-mill prosecutions,
why not at the same time look for
emancipation from the tyranny which
makes such prosecutions possible

Ludlow. victory Over shafter.


General William Ludlow, who is
achieving high fame as the first Ameri-
can governor of Havana, owes his pres
ent command to personal victory he
gained over General Shafter in the first
days of the Santiago campaign.
He had long ago attained a fine rec
ord as typographical engineer, and
was one of the first regular army officers
to seek service in Cuba With scarce
ly dried commission of brigadier general
of volunteers in his pocket he FASTENED
to General Shafter.
Seeing that General Sbafter already
had a competent engineer on his staff,
General Ludlow applied for command
of brigade on the fighting line, and
mentioned the First brigade of the Sec.
ond division. General Sbafter looked up
in surprise and exclaimed, 81 thought
you were an engiueer!"
80 l am, replied General Ludlow,
''also an artillerist, or cavalry officer,
or an infantry officer, at the will of my
superiors, like every trained soldier ="
General Shafter began parleying, and
General Ludlow, in the mildest manner
possible, insisted. morning after morn
ing, until he received it. After the ter
rible battle of Ell Caney he was promot-
ed to be major general. Philadelphia

WASHINGTON. May S.-The recent
discovery of an extensive system of
counrerfeiting demonstrates the fact
that i'll directed ingenuity can for a

skilled, well paid workmen in the Unit
ed States which is continually under

who are employed i'll the engraving of
designs for bank notes.
When man takes the position of
treasurer of the United States, be files
a perpetual bond TO secure the govern
ment against loss. If he has been out
of Office 20 years that guarantee still
hangs over his head and the heads of
his .bondsmen. So the man who has
been engaged in the making of plates
for the treasury or for bank note COM
pany may resign his position and go
into some other business, but he never
escapes the watchful eye of the secret
service officer. His habits are known
bis haunts, his friends, his occupation.
If he succeeds in business and becomes
prosperous, the vigilance of the watch
ers is little relaxed If he fails. all
the more reason for keeping an eye Old
him, for he has now the incentive to
commit crime. No temptation is so
strong as the temptation to make bogus
money.
1t is not very pleasant to contemplate
life under the watcbful, suspicious eye
of the law, but every man who takes
up bank note engraving must make up
his mind to endure it ever afterward,
even if he change his occupation hun
dred times.
This is the reason for the watch on
engravers-only skilled engraver and
one familiar with bank note work can
make a plate which is even passable

Wanted RfIey's Autograph.

The Philadelphia Record says: "The
strength of the fad for autographs was
strikingly shown yesterday, when scores
of clerks and customers besieged James
Whitcomb Riley while he was modestly
making some book purchases in large
department store.
''As soon as the Hoosier poet was
sighted near the latest book counter the
news quickly went the rounds of the
clerks, and within half hour Mr.. Ri
ley had obligingly signed his name to
100 cards. Customers who We're at the
book stalls at the time or were attracted
thither also took advantage of the op-
portunity and secured the signature of
the poet.
ITO one of the clerks Mr.. Riley said
that on the average he receives 200 let
tiers day asking for his autograph anG
many more personal requests while on
his tours. When not in a humor for
composition the poet, as mental di-
version, occupies himself in signing
the thousands of cards which he yearly
receives"
