a light fail of snow for short time
and then the sun came out and it all
passed over. At little after noon, it
clouded up again and the snow again
began to fall This continued until
shutdown, when it started in rather
hard and continued until late. AS the
snow is very light, it will not amount
to much. except to make the travelling

\ Solid Institution.

A recent publication of the tinan-
cial condition of the Garrett County
Bank at Oakland was made which
shows the business of the bank as
having grown to large proportions
considering the fact that the deposi-
tors generally are merchants and
farmers and at no time do sums
of money pass through their hands.
The ia t ement shows deposit
in the bank mounting tC
nearly $3.50, 600, whilst the total assets
amount to more than $20S,000. The
business of the bank has steadily in
creased eyer since its formation, now
over ten years ago, mainly due to the
efforts of Mr.. Scott Il. Jones, the
obliging cashier of the institution.

Mr.. q. $ Griffith, president of the
Maryland Prisoners Aid Association,
and Rev. William c. Stoudenmire,
general agent, have just returned to
Baltimore from trip to this section,
where they visited the jail here.
Mr.. Griffith says:
The jail at Oakland was without a
prisoner on the day of our visit. The
sheriff Mr.. w. p. Lee, said the num-
ber of prisoners ran as high as seven
teen at one time during the past year,
thus crOwding the four cages together
with the women's quarters upstairs.
The sanitary condition of the Jail is
bad; it is unsafe for both the sheriff's
family and prisoners. It is a wonder
that it has not been worse death
trap than it has been. The sheriff
had not cleaned up since the recent
term of court took his boarders away.
We were glad to learn that the court
in Oakland instructed the grand iury
to bring in an Indictment of the ear
rett county commissioners if they
fail to make an appropriation or fail
to decide upon the building of new
Jail.
"As our custom is to hold public
meetings in the county towns on our
visits, we held a public meeting in
Oakland and also in Cumberland.
The principal objects of these meet
ings are to enlighten the public on the
subject of prison reform, and to stir
up Christian ministers and laymen to
do their duty by way of holding relig-
ious services in the jails and aims
houses and helping discharged prison
ers to start life again"

The miners employed at Tunnelton,
Preston county, W. Va, by the Mer-
chants Coal company, of Baltimore,
having asked for an advance on the
present price of mining-35 cents per
ton-have been locked out, and have
posted notices warning miners to stay
away from Tunnelton. But little
coal is mined at Tunnelton for ship
ment, as the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad consumes nearly the entire
output, as all their engines take coal
there going in each direction. The
closing down of these mines greatly
incOnveniences the railroad in Sc
curing coal for its trains.

DR.. Henry w. McComas had a crowd
of people guessing yesterday after
noon for a few minutes until the de-
ception was explained. A man from
the country brought in a nice lot of
brook trout which he sold to the doc
tor. Procuring a string, Il bamboo
rod and smearing his shoes over with
mud the doctor posed for while on
the street exhibiting his catch to the
curious. Some in the crowd asked
how much they cost. where they were
caught, etc, until the fire became so
heavy that to escape further comment
and questioning he made a clean
breast of the whole matter, greatly to
the relief of those who have for days
spent most of their time along the
streams near town with no success.
Running newspaper is just like
running hotel-only it is d fferent.
When man goes into a hotel and
finds something on the table that he
doesn't like he does not get up and
tell the landlord to stop his darned
old hotel" says an exchange. Well,
hardly, he just pushes the dishes
aside and wades into some other brand
of eatibles. But it is different with
some newspaper readers. They find
an item they don't like, and without
stopping to think that it may please
a whole lot of people, make grand
stand play of their asininity, and stop
their paper. The paper doesn't stop,
but that particular gentleman's copy
fails to reach him next week, and he
is sure to sneak around and borrow
his neighbor's copy, lust to see if the
paper is still published or not" you
know. The press still grinds on, how
ever, and new subscribers line up in
place of the dyspeptic who stopped
his source of information because a
small part of it didn't suit him.
