An Unfortunate Coin.

\ gentleman i'll town showed the
JOURNAL the other day clipping from
the For"n, descriptive of a coin that has
"a whole" in it.
This statement gave rise to much
speculation and considerable debate fol
lowed, some holding, for instance that
mine is nothing but section of hill or
mountain with an aggregate dug into it..
This philosophy is Of doubtful pro-
priety, however, on account of the alb
surd uses to which other synonyms of
''whole' could be dedicated. For i'll
stance, what would the reader think of
a scholar who would speak of the 200
foot well as nothing but II total bored
toward the red Shalc:" Or, taking the
coin itself, who would venture to say
that 1T has an entirety punched through
it,"
The JOURNAL will have to request
citizens to refrain from calling its atten-
ton to the remarkable statements which
now and then emanate from the vicinity
Of the big drum cylinder, because the
great paper in such instances feels obi,

and the features which make them

corning the Belgian hare should attract
the attention of somebody fond of the
culture of pretty animals. In portions
of the west it is great business, and
profitable because they are more easily

Rev. DR.. Thomas Whitley Jones, of
Philadelphia, superintendent for the
Middle States Of the Congregational
Home Missionary churches, has been
spending few days in Frostburg rs the
guest of Rev. George W. Moore, pastor
of the Congregational church Dr.
Jones says that since his first visit to
Frostburg, / years ago, the change has
been very great. The town has out
grown the village aspect and become
"citified' i'll appearance. The school
buildings. the hotels and business houses
would reflect credit on much larger
town. He took pains to 90 through the
Normal School building. which interest
ed him as being not only creditable to
Frostburg, but to the State. Having
Travelled extensively i'll Europe and
America DIR. Jones says FroStburg is IA
place Of rare beauty. What it needs, it
seems to him, to make it an attractive
resort for wealthy summer visitors from
the large cities-that would fill the
Gladstone and all the other hotels, is a
wise and liberal use of press advertising.
1t should be made known extensively
as pleasant resort, safe place for
parents to bring their children, and a
healthy location for mind and body.
The few days he had spent here had
toned him physically and mentally 1t
gave him great pleasure, he said, to
spend the 18th here and see the long pro-
ceSsion of bright boys and girls march
ing i'll such splendid order to the picnic
grounds. 1t spoke we'll for Frostburg
to see citizens generally taking such an
interest in the children.
Speaking of the Congregational
Church, he said the change for the better
was very gratifying. The wcll-located
parsonage, built since his last visit, was
creditable to the church and community.
He expressed profound confidence and
respect for pastor Moore is il square
christian man. worthy of the confidence
of his people which he was glad to see
he enjoyed, and he expressed the hope
that he would continue manyycarS more
with them.
