lions. he visited the German minister 81
foreign affairs, Count Won Buelow, this

pressed at the American snd British en-
bassies, as we'll as at the imperial foreign

authorities or dispatch concooted by
the Chinese after the capture OF the Amer

in memory of his mother, who, num-
Der of years ago, spent summer in
Oakland in the house now occupied
by Mr.. John Grant, and is remember
ed by some of our older citizens.
Judge Sloan, of Cumberland, was
here last week to consult with his at
torneys, P. j. Crogan and James A.
Brown, and preparing papers for an
application for a charter to operate
the coal mines at Newburg in the
name of a company. The papers
were sent to the office of the Secre
tary of State at Charleston and the
charter will be issued in few days

Young game seems to be plentiful
this spring. Through the country
districts and suburbs of town, quail
can be heard frequently, and a num-
Der of young rabbits have been seen.
This is largely due to the mild wealth
er during the past winter which gave
wild game of all kinds an opportunity
to feed. The prospects are that the
hunting this fall will be good, at least
for small game.

Hitch The Horses.

There is too much carelessness in
leaving horses standing on the streets
unhitched. A horse may be quiet
one, but even a quiet horse will run
when scared. In fact quiet horse
scared is most dangerous in a run off.
1t is not accustomed to running
There should be no risks allowed.
A runoff in town might cripple
women or children for life, a damage
that could not be repaid with money.
Nearly every horse that runs off is
one noted for being trusty and quiet,
hence the necessity of hitching or
holding them as well as others.
a man bitches his mettled horse
for his own profit. Those owning the
other kind should be compelled to
hitch them for the safety of the peo-
pie.

Will Case Reonened.

Judge Stake Tuesday heard argu-
ment in the will case of Marian Ade-
laide Sherman, of Augusta, Maine,
who died at Mountain Lake Park in
1S49 and left an estate valued at S.
600 to the Foreign Missionary Society
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
for the purpose of educating a Bible
class of six girls in India. The legal
heirs of Miss Sherman brought suit
to break the will. The court decided
the will void and the attorneys for
the Missionary Society asked for a
rehearing which was give Tuesday.
The case was argued by Baldwin g.
Baldwin and F. W. Storey, of Balti-
more, for the society, and E. L.
Mitchell, of Oakland, and r. T. Sem
mes, of Cumberland, for the defen-
dants. The matter was held sub
curia.

Garrett School Board.

The new school commissioners of
Garrett county begin their career, as
anticipated, with law suit on hand,
as the commissioners elected by the
people refused to vacate their offices
unless it be authoritatively shown
that the new law supersedes the local
law for Garrett county.
1t is unnecessary to state that the
politics of the gentlemen selected to
succeed Examiner Palmer, are Demo
cratic; likewise are the politics of Prof.
Fockler, who succeeded Examiner
Pearson in Washington county. The
campaign talk about non-partisan-
ship in school affairs which was ding
donged into the ears of the people by
Smiths supporters ON the platform
and in the newspapers is having fresh
illustrations of its insincerity at every
turn.
Men of experience are being turned
out for no other reason than that
places are wanted for Democrats. -
