THE PROPOSED RAILROAD TO HAGERs-
TowN.-The reports going the rounds of the
press to the effect that the Douglass Bros,
contractors, began survey of the proposed
road from Myersville to Hageratown, the
first of last week, is not correct The survey
has not yet been started. but will be CON-
menced in short time.
The M,ssrs Douglass are quietly arrang-
ing their plans looking toward the building
of the proposed road and at present they
deem it dest not to talk tor publication.
1t is reported that there Is considerable
opposition in Frederick tow ard the construc.
ton of the road, many being of the opinion
that it would work against the business in
terests of that city 10 the advantage Of Ha-
gerstown.
On the other hand the people of Middle
town Valley are particularly anxious to see
the road built, believing that in such event
they would receive far better conveniences
than they now have Considerable surprise
has been expressed at both Midriletown and
Myersville at an editorial which appeared in
the Frederick Neaos last Monday, antagoni-
ziug the proposed extension. A communi-
cation from Myersvile bearing on the Nesos
editorial was received too late for this issue

week. Middleton Valley Register.

Perfectly Practical.

An odd and convenient custom exists fin Genoa. Many of the well-to-do peo- ple as we'll as those in moderate cir cumstances do not own either horses or coaches; they own only an interest in them. Four or five or a half-dozen great families club together and buy 8 coach and horses, then they arrange among themselves the days the differ ent families will use 1t. Thus one fam ily uses the coach on Mondays, another on Tuesdays and third on Wednes- days. so that an establishment that would be impossible for one family be- comes perfectly practical when the cost is divided among five or six. Each fam fly has a set of doors for the coach with their own coat-of-arms on the panels, which are changed according to the family which Is going to use the coach. The builders of these vehicles seldom think of building a coach without five or six sets of doors, and arrangements are made so that they are very easily changed.

have been dominant have free churches or free schools ever been known. Testi- mony from many unquestioned sources goes to show that the Philippine Isl anders have suffered more from the ecclesiastics who have ruled over them than from any other source. If the spir-' it animating the Spanish church in that quarter during the resent crisis may be judged from the various addresses sent out by the Archbishop of Manila, Amer ican influence in the island will find it's bitterest and most malignant opposition in that direction. On the other hand, the natives will be specially receptive to any influence tending to free them from that hated rule. Where the American flag goes there will go equal rights for all freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. In this way lie prosperity and contentment, law and order.
