Don't Go.

1t may be some satisfaction to
Messrs. Luke to learn that, no matter
whether they are driven out of the
county or not, the law under which
they are prosecuted has got to go!
The county cannot afford to permit a
statute SO destructive of current de-
velopment and so MORALLY inhospltable
to future enterprise to remain in the
Code a moment longer than it can be
torn out, and, root and branch, cast INTO
''the watery labyrinth" described by
Milton as "Lethe, the river of obliv-
ion."
To allow themselves to be forced in
to exile, therefore, is for the Measrs.
Luke to look back a year hence upon
a needless sacrifice of both friends and
funds.

Circuit Court.

The January term was practically
concluded on Wednesday.
States attorney Pearre and Judge
Sloan exchanged illusions creditable
to both, the occasion being the pros
pective retirement of the attorney at
an early day.
Samuel Bowen. bailiff, was found
guilty of eXtortion-a mishap growing
out of the too free use made of the
Frostburg lookup by the county
authorities. In this connection the
JOURNAL feels that it ought to be
stated that the Cumberland newspaper
reports of the case did not do Mr..
Bowen justice. They did not report
that the States attorney made plea
for leniency after conviction, saying
that sit was manifest that Bowen was
not actuated by any motive of extor-
tom that IL am confident that
Bowen merely erred in a conception of
his rights The court also, before
sentencing him, said that the fees col
lected by him were not more than
were due. The mistake was in col
Letting from the prisoners before con-
viction. He also said that Bowen
should have collected his fees from
the county, and, in view of these facts,
he imposed the smallest penalty that
he could.

Case OfInyersiOn.

The author of "Ecce Homo" said
"the Sabbath was made for man, not
man for the Sabbath"
And now Hon. William j. Bryan
comes along and, with equal aptness,
states that 1.-THE flag was made for the
people, not the people for the flag"
In Cumberland, however, it is held
by the independent and a few who futter
around within its area of exploitation
that "the Potomac river was made for
Cumberland"
The generation for precedence, a
force of almost imperial magnitude in
this country, is thus turned upside
down when 1t reaches Cumberland.

SchleV the Hero

The JOURNAL asked William II.
Miller, Frostburg's Santiago hero
which is entitled to the more credit for
the defeat of Cervera and destruction
of his heet-Schley or Sampson
Mr.. Miller answered
Well, Sampson was at least seven miles from
the scene when the tight began and did not
catch up with it until Schley was about
through with it.
Now, let us suppose that the fight had been
lost, or that Cervera had won by getting away,
nobody would have thought for a moment OF
placing the blame on any other than Schley.
Mr.. Miller was not far from the
scene and knows whereof he speaks.

Death of q Physician,


DR.. James B. Miller, youngest son
of the late Henry and Mary Y. Miller,
died at his home, Westernport, this
county, at noon Saturday, January
q, 1899.
A correspondent contributes the
following sketch:
Dr. Miller was born at Westernport Octo-
Der 3, 1856, and was therefore in the 43d year
of his age. He was a pupil of the public
schools of Baltimore during boyhood, later
attended Baltimore City College and Ran
dolph Macon College, Ashland, Va. Return
ing to Baltimore he graduated in Medicine at
the Maryland University. During several
years he practCed with the late Dr. G. f.
Porter, of Homecoming and finally located in
his native town, where he pursued his pro-
tesslon until forced to retire by impaired
health.
October 6, 1856 he married Miss Mary,
daughter Of Dr. NJ. Stewart, ofSnowshoe Pa,
who survives with two infant sons.
Although DR.. Miller's health had not been
good for several years, he was confined to his
bed only during the last two months.
The funeral, largely attended, took place
Monday afternoon last at st. Johns NJ. E.
Church, South, Piedmont, W. Va. of which
he was a member. Rev. w. H. Ballengee
pastor, OBLIGATED. Interment in Phlos
cemetery.
The doctor was an excellent, success
full physician, and good citizen. He
stood high, therefore, in his profession.
and was deservedly esteemed in the
community as one exemplary IN all the
relations of life.

The Cumberland Times is on the

that leads otherwhere than to the

The rich people do not wish to go into
their pockets for the cost of good

All the Same.

OF a recent meeting of the State
Board of Education it was stated that
it
was called to pass upon the question as
to who had authority to appoint assistant
teachers in the counties, the members of the
school boards or the local trustees of the
schools. The State board decided that the
school commissioners had authority to APP
point the assistant teachers.
This is ali important decision, inasmuch as
it applies to all the counties The law gives
the State board authority to pass upon all
matters relating to the public schools and the
decision of the board is final The local trus-
tees have authority to appoint the principals
of the various schools, subject, however, to
confirmation of the school commissioners.
If the Board will next decide that
"the authority to appoint assistant
teachers carries with it that principle
Of the merit system which entities
schools to the most efficient available
teachers, without regard to the resi-
dence or other convenience of those
teachers, it will supplement an already
wise decision with one yet wiser.
For if the latter suggestion be not
observed, it makes no difference who
appoints the teachers-the commits
sioners, trustees, or the engineers of
the last primary election.

A HealthfuI House-Warmer.

w euneSday was quite cola DAY
cold enough for the JOURNAL to visit
and inspect the claims of A. r. Blasse's
recently patented economical heater
and healthful house warmer.
Mr.. Blasse was led into the study of
proper house-warming by the reply of
physician to an inquiry concerning
the healthiest heat, but not finding
anything that measured up to the
standard, he set about dev. sing a con-
trlvance that would attain the ideal.
He shortly succeeded and, showing
his plans to mason, the latter ad-
vised him to secure patent upon his
device before erecting furnace.
This advice he followed and later
exemplified his theory by erecting in
his own dwelling heater that is some
thing new IN design, yet model of
simplicity. 1t is, of course, a comb.
nation of large stove, vaulted in brick
casing. with atmospheric milestone
for combustion, the other through a
reservoir of water. The one goes up
the hue in smoke, the other to the
rooms of the house. The water, mod
erately heated, furnishes the house
air with an infusion of vapor sufficient
to vitalize it without overlooking it
with humidity. In other words, the
humidity which constitutes healthful
element of open air is thoughtfully
and skillfully provided for in Mr..
Blasse's invention. 1t is made avail
able to dwellers inside as we'll as out
side-while they sleep as we'll as wake,
and change from house to open air
and rice 0ersd, often trying to delicate
persons, are reduced in shock and
| hazard to minimum.
Another and material merit of the
Blasse heater is its economy. This is
demonstrated both in its original cost
and its consumption of coal. Simple
in construction, almost automatic in
operation, each quality promoting
complete combustion, it is within the
reach of 80 of 100 house-owners. In
this connection Mr.. Blasse states the
experience of his own household:
Last winter for three stoves and one CRATE
we used from 10 to ~ hods of coal daily this
winter only about halfthe quantity. We have
not only counted the hodS, but have weighed
the coal and found a saving of from 100 to
l2O pounds per "a hours.
The result ranges from 70 to so degrees of
air, naturally moist, and all the comfort of
the same temperature outdoors.
Mr.. Blasse's figures show that one
of his heaters will save in coal alone
enough in less than three winters to
pay for itself. Meanwhile, in his
case, instead of keeping up four fires
he has now but one to look after.
a proposal to organize a company
to manufacture this heater is viewed
with favor. 1t can be made and set
up at a price within the reach of al
most the humblest house-owner, and
a time is in near prospect when no
new house will be regarded as complete
without it.

torial sun will, after all, set in a blaze

There is hope-the hope Of heaven
Where loved ones meet again.

Repeal the Law.

The prosecution of the prOprietors
of the pulp mills at Luke by faction
of Cumberland people is grounded
upon prohibitions embodied in Article
81, Section 242 of the Code of Public
General Laws-chapter 800 of the Acts
of 1874.
There are several overwhelming
reasons why that law should be re-
pealed-
|, 1t has been distanced by the
march of civilization =
=, 1t is measure militant against
the public policy which both protects
the industries the people have and in
vites others to come =
3, 1t relegates the riparian rights of
a large number of people to worthless
ness, and destroys all the advantages
naturally accruiug to them of proX-
unity to cheap fuel :
1, Impossible of impartial and com
plete enforcement, it cannot be ad-
Indicated nor administered without
discrimination between traversers of
equal liability, and
), A statute prohibiting pollution
existing and enforceable on one side
of river-not on the other, is, in the
very nature of things, colossal
futility.
1t is plain, therefore, that, to reach
the only just and certain way to settle
this vexatious business is-repeal the
laWi
If the Messrs. Luke will hold on
patiently, meanwhile fighting for their
rights up to the highest court, if need
be, there is enough popular sentiment
and outraged feeling extant to com
mand delegation to the next Legis-
lature which will wipe forever from
the page it mars an enactment which,
enforced, re establishes along the
Maryland side of the upper Potomac
the deSOlatiOn and drearineSS of the
desert and restores the rankness and
darkness of the wilderness.
