Longer the PIoddine Merchant

1t is not unusual to find in the
older books on commercial matters
such expressions as 1.-The slow-going
storekeeper, the laborious and
plodding business man." etc. These
terms can no longer be applied to the
merchant. The up-to-date trades
man is not slow-going; he cannot
afford to plod True, he must still
be laborious. But the development
of industry and trade in great coun-
try like the United States requires
that every ambitious merchant shall
be alert, ingenious and energetic. In
no lines of the tradesman's career are
these qualities more needed than in
his newspaper advertising, and when
he puts them to persistent use in the
columns of an excellent and popular
journal they invariably render his
business announcements a source of
profit.

Held for Identification.


Yesterday morning about 2 O'Clock
Officers West and Hessen found a
colored man riding on freight train
whose description tailed to some ex-
tent with that of a negro who com
mitted felonious assault upon Mary
Beamer, a twelve year old girl of
Washington county few days ago.
The man was placed in Jail and the
Washington county authorities com
municated with. He will be held
here until tonight when the little
girl who was assaulted will arrive
A telegram from Hagerstown in con-
nection with the case says:
The Garrett county officials yes
terday telegraphed Sheriff Seibert, OF
Hagerstown, that a suspicious negro,
thought to answer the description of
the man who attempted to assault
little Mary Beamer, on George w.
Bussar9Sas Eplace, near Kemp's Mills,
Saturday, was arrested ond lodged in
the Oakland Jail. The telegram sta
ted the negro gave conflicting state
ments as to his identity and purposes
and the dispatch asked for a full de-
scription of the negro. Sheriff Sci
bert immediately drove out to Mr..
Bussard's place to see the child, from
whom he got description. 1t was
suggested that the best and quickest
thing to do was to take the girl to
Oakland and if she did not identify
the negro as her assailant the negro
could be released.
Sheriff Seibert got back to Hagers-
town from the Bussard place about
noon and at once wired to the chief
of police at Oakland description of
the negro. The little girls descrip-
tion was not very clear

Internal Revenue Stamps.

The commissioner of internal reye-
nue. has made request on the Secre-
tary of theTreasury to be forwarded to
the bureau of engraving and printing
for more than 150,000,000 revenue
stamps for the month of November.
This is an unusually heavy amount,
but the internal revenue bureau de-
sires to be in compliance with the
laws as to stamps. The law provides
that six months supply of stamps
shall be kept on hand, but after the
war revenue act went into force this
was physical impossibility and for
many months the stamps were sent
out on the day they were printed.
By slow degrees a small stock has
been accumulated, but it is still far
short of the quantity directed by law.

Wild Pigeons Return.

Sunday morning last the attention
of a number of the citizens of Noun
tain Lake Park was attracted by
a roaring noise overhead and upon
looking up were astonished to see an
immense flock of wild pigeons going
in northerly direction.
1t has been the opinion of sports
men and scientific men also that the
wild pigeons had been exterminated
in a storm which passed over the
great lakes q number of years ago
during one of the remarkable flights
of these birds in which they were
caught and thousands perished, the
waters of the lakes being covered
with them for days after the storm.
At any event, however, none have
