CUMBERLAND, MD, August "a, 1895

CUMBERLAND, MD, August a, 1899
To the MINING JOURNAL.
We have paper here that claims
to print ''all the news that is fit to
print but it is hard to tell what its
standard of fitness is, considering an
item that appeared therein last Tues
day evening.
In the Item mentioned it spoke of
tistic encounter, but gave only the
name of one participant, leaving the
reader under the impression that the
other got away unrecOgniZed, while
the facts are about as follows: There
was a party of young men, including
prominent society man, started out
to paint the town and. afterwards, one
said something about being able to
whip the other. The latter wanted to
furnish Immediate proof to the con
trary. but the proprietor of the place
put them out. The meeting having
been adjourned to the street, they had
it out.
While the fight was progressing an
officer came along and arrested the
participants, but they did not wish to
figure in a police court, and induced
the officer to let them all off by prom
Using to pay the charges in the morn
ing. The officer, in evident Difference
to the standing of the p. 5. M, con-
scented, which he had no right to do.
Later the "tit to print reporter
wrote the article for his paper, gave
the name of the one cOmbatant, who
is a poor young man of pugllistic rep
utatlon, but fails to mention that of
the p. s. M, and, altogether, gives the
reader a wrong impression of the
affair.
And this from paper that is al
ways harping on the scandal Of cater
ing to money!
The newspapers province, think,
is to publish the news as it occurs,
not to garble it IN that fashion-not
to favor one and discriminate against
another.
What would it say of one of our
officials were he to prosecute poor
man for an offence identical with one
another had been guilty Of, but had
escaped on account Of his position in
society!
This is written TO the paper that is
exclusively great. EQUALITY.

Four hundred and fifty people gath
cred to inspect the we'll equipped

This movement appeals very strong
ly to the whole community and the in
terests of home life.
The occasion was a most informal
one. At S o'clock the reception com

guests. The Mountain City orchestra
furnished delightful music, which was
fully appreciated by all. Refresh
ments were served, and during the
evening several fine cornet solos were
given by Z. X. Miller.
Late in the evening the guests de-
parted more firmly devoted to the in
terests of young men than ever before.
Following is Il list of the committees
of ladies in charge:

Looks like all Cumberland schools
are for Cumberland teachers only.
When a Cumberland vacancy oc.
cars the appointment of Cumberland
teacher to fill it is made before an as
piring countryman can write his APP
plicatlon.
He hears of both events sometimes
in the same mail.
1t seems to be salary promotion ar
rangement also. Whites salary goes
up; Browning's goes up, and Buckey's
goes up, and assistants in the double
tasseled high school will get such pay
as no assistants out in the county ever
received.
Wonder if any Cumberland teachers
get any more than the schedule war
rants
None do so in the county, it is be-
lieved, but the word. increase" so
often spoken to rising teachers credit
in Cumberland, is, as George Mauck
would say, very leading or mislead-
ing"

1.-The Scorer" tells of the last bout
with Midland:
The game at the Driving Park last Satur-
day was certainly brilliant trial of skill.
The "Midlands' were our opponents, and
the way both teams waded in and played the
game as it should be played surprised every
one present.
The locals lost in the tenth inning by a
very bad throw by Young to George Gunnett,
the ball going over the latter'S head allowing
Jackson to score what proved to be the win
ming run. The local team tielded beautifully.
Frank Spates and Coleman Rugged every
thing in the neighborhood of second base in
great shape. Some of Franks stops and
throws to first were really sensational. The
Gunnett brothers, too, were in evidence and
struck a pretty rapid pace. Moneys
pick-ups at third were pretty hot stuff, and
Georges work on first could hardly be i'm
proved. The out-tield got plenty of work to
do and did it well. William Spates, left-fed,
proved himself the man for the place.
He is fast on his feet, has excellent judgment
of flies and, besides, is sure catch. He had
six chances and accepted everyone without
the sign of slip. John Spates, in middle
field, and Arch Oder in right had few oppor-
tunities, but they made the most of them.
Young pitched very good game and Will
Jams gave him splendid support behind the
bat. Williams throwing to second was a
feature. Coleman and Frank Spates did the
best batting for the home team.
For the visitors Entler and Jackson did SUI
perb battery work, and they had good sup
port by the team behind them, especially the
in-teld. Cunningham Stakem, Brown and
Robinson Played ball as they never played
before, and Robinson's triple play in the last
half of the ninth inning beyond doubt won
the game. Williams, Kenny, and 1eet-footed
Metz, of Cumberland played the out-field
and got everything that came their way.
The umpireS w. E. Hartman, of Frostburg,
and Patrick Creegan, of Midland, certainly
had hard task as many decisions were
close and the players and spectators alike
greatly excited. But both gentlemen have
the thanks of every impartial person present
for the clever, honest, impartial decisions
rendered

A Reason.

The JOURNAL does not know what
answer the Baltimore and Ohio au-
thOrities will make to the Cumberland
Sabbatarians concerning the evil of
Sunday excursions, but a so far I'M
seen feature of the business seems to
be this-the smaller the town the
more noticeable the Irregularities. if
any. A Cumberland crowd in Pitts
burg, for instance, is not noticed there,
but a Pittsburg crowd in Cumberland
is different affair. Hence. when an
appeal is made by any Cumberland
element to railroad companies to stop
such incursions, it is equivalent to an
acknowledgment that 1--WE are too
little and too few in a hill.n
