1h0 OflcerS OF he National Guard OF
80 states. who have been in Washing
ton for the purpose of trying to get the
annual Congressional Appropriation for
the National Guard increased from
600 to s.. 0O0. 900, succeeded with
the House Military Committee, which
favorably reported a bill for the in
crease, and the favorable attitude of
Representatives and Senators toward
the National Guard. makes it very
probable that the bill will get through.
Why should this country need larger
expenditures for military? Do the
people need soldiers to keep them in
order? Military rule is gradually creep
ing upon US.
1t is not generally known that the
President has the right to attend the
executive sessions of the Senate, but
he has, and Washington and other ear.
lier Presidents frequently exercised
that right: A rule Of the Senate says:
"When the President of the u. S. shall
meet the Senate in the Senate Chamber
for the consideration of executive bust
ness. be shall have a seat On the right
Of the presiding officer" Another rule
of the Senate gives the President au-
thority to convene the Senate in any
place he pleases other than the Senate
Chamber, and expressly directs the pre-
siding officer and Senator'S to assemble
at the place appointed by the President.
There are lots of things about this gov
eminent of ours not generally known
even among those whose business it
should be to know. 1t is doubtful
whether a dozen Senators knew of the
existence of these two rules until a
newspaper ma pointed them out.

Nellie Fairfax and one son-Thomas
Orville. One brother also survives
j. Alex. Price, of Baltimore
AS q physician DR.. Price was a
model. He was endowed with the in
stinct, insight and resources of one
born as well as reared in he high Office
of restoring to health the ailments
common to mankind. In this field he
was a scientist. soldier, paraclete.
His learning, courage and tenderness
gave him to know in therapy's high
court of last resort what, how and
whether "tbe heroic remedy" should
be employed. In consequence his
Judgment enjoyed to pre-eminent
degree the respect of his professional
brethren and the entire confidence of
his large and always growing clientele.
In his DEATH therefore, all have lost
friend, brother and benefactor.
SO far as professional duties would
permit DR.. Price manifested a patriotic
interest in municipal, State and ma
tional affairs. His last active step
was taken in the public service when,
accompanied by this writer, he made
strong plea to Hon. Johu Walter
Smith, governor, for executive favor
of the appropriation to State Normal
School No. >. His wide reading, al
ways profitable to mind enriched
with memory's preservative function,
made him socially interesting and
genially instructive, He was
staunch democrat-loyal equally to
party friends and principles-th one
tenacious trait of pardonable convic-
ton furnishing Il key to the sterling
quality Of his character.
The JOURNAL cannot do better now
than close this sketch with quotation
from the dispatch of the Frostburg
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun.
In speaking of the doctors association
with himself of brother and nephews
to meet the demands of his practice,
mention is made of the distressing
fatality which about ! years ago befel
his brother, DR.. Thomas c. Price, at
the railroad crossing below Union
mine, the latter also an accomplished
physician and cultured gentleman.
Continuing, he writes
lie (Dr. A. b. Price, constantly attended to
the exacting duties of his profession, even to
the neglect of his personal comfort. He was
often seen driving home into Frostburg asleep
in his carriage after being all night as well as
all day on his rounds. 1t was not infrequent
that miners on their way to the mines early
in the morning would meet him along the
highway asleep in his carriage after faithful
nights attendance at the bedside of patient.
For % years DIR. Price travelled for miles
around Frostburg through the fierce orms
| of winter in obedience to the calls of the sick
often satisfying himself with the rude fare of
the humblest homes and doing in a chair to
snatch few moments of rest to enable him
| to go on,
That report is not Overstated. In
deed, it may be added that for much
of that faithful, uncomfortable, self
sacrificing service he received little or
no pay, often making no charge where

this place, heretofore noted in these
columns. terminated in death shortly
after ) o'clock last Sunday after
noon, April Is. He had been con
fined to his bed nearly n month

out avail.

1878 came to Frostburg.
While residing at Stephens city Miss
Laura B. Taylor. of Hillsboro, Va,
became his wife. This lady lived but
a few years and in November, 1876, he
married Miss Annie j. Chipley. The
latter survives, with two daughters

of the opposition.
The doctor was a member of the
Knights of H nor, Royal Arcanum,
Heptasophs and Elks. large delega-
tons of whom honored the obsequies

A Dark Ride.

What is esteemed courageous feat
for young lady was achieved Monday
in the Consolidation Coal company's
pumping shaft by Miss Esther Schil-
ling, of Cumberland, guest of the
Misses Pasco. 1t is wellknown that the
shaft is about $50 feet deep. Thence a
well has been bored, now down about
152 feet. On the occasion named Miss
to hoist dirt aud stone and went to the
bottom, or about 402 feet below day
light. One of the workmen, telling
this, said-"Miss Schilling's composure
during the ride down and up the well
was equal to that of veteran"
