Among the losses to pick-pockets i'll

pocket and mrmOrundu book belonging
to George Landlord, of England.
Among other papers the book contained
Il ticket from New York to Liverpool on

agents. Mr.. Landlord had been on ii
visit to his brother, Thomas Landlord,
of Allegany and had just started on his
return home His friends here suppose
he had about so, which the thief took,
throwing the book away. Mr.. Lank-
ford was observed to be quite nervous
when purchasing his railroad ticket to
New York. He got on the train and
Just as it was moving off he told his
friends out of the car window that his
pocket book was gone. He went away,
therefore, with very little, if any, money,
circumstance which occasions con
siderable uneasiness to his friends here.

In q Fog.

The GirHn"r cannot understand
why newspaper should charge the
town, county, or State, more for its advertis-
ing than the regular customer pays
The reason the GIcdU"r cannot under
stand some things is-it is too green.
In amateur work all its life, it cannot be
expected to know that the public as the
public everywhere pays more for its ser
vice IN nH lines than the private in
dividual does. In printing many of the
rates are .frcd by lar, the papers of the
party i'll power getting the work. The
JOURNAL holds, therefore, that indie
pendent papers should get the same or
nearly the same rates party papers do.
The Gironcr finally asks
But why should the JOURNAL complain &?
Doesn't it place full value on its advertising?
Do not some county officials discriminate
against other papers to favor it? Hasn't an
advertisement appeared in its columns lately
on the very day the results should have been
in the hands of the public official?
The JOURNAL made no complaint. 1t
was some of the councilmen who made
merry who complained. The JOURNAL
volunteered to help them out by sub
uniting to IL councilman-no Coun-
Gil, IA plan fair to all the papers and just
to the town as a town.
If county officials discriminate in
favor of the JOURNAL, they quite as often
discriminate against it.
The advertisement to which the
Hco"cr refers did not appear in the
JOURNAL. Moreover, for the exact
reason that the time was too short, the
JOURNAL notified 1.-The public official
that it would be useless expense to his
board and the work would not, there
fore, be done.
But the GirdDrr insists upon sticking
to its absurd backlog tlat-rate, ruinous
to itself for transient work, ruinous to
its customers for regular work. 1t may
work for the town for nothing if it
chooses, but it should do the same thing
for its individual customers. 1t is, how
ever, ian ill-favorcd bird that befouls it,
own nest.
For the JOURNALS part, it would
rather be II janitor in scavenger's
depot than try to publish il paper on the
| GI"dncr'S lines.

Dry Weather.

The dust on Union street is almost
rmbearable.
Three-quarters of the year passed and
nothing done to abate it.
And now the cry is there is no money
coming to be used i'll that way.
Other expenses have been SO much in
creased that it is just Us much as Council
can do to save the county appropriation
for expenditure in the annex.
There is Loo street, between Broad
way and BOwery, which should have
been by all means shaped up this year,
still wholly neglected.
The notice to stop wasting water came
ut least two weeks too late.
Summed up by Union street mer-
chant
The town is in a deplorable condition.
But for its location it would be nothing but
a cess-pool. Dirty streets and alley filth
abound everywhere. If you want to see a
difference in town government, go to Meyers
dale, not half SO advantageously located as
Frostburg.
The JOURNAL would tell the people
that if they wish more money for street
improvement they must soon consent to
an increase of the tax rate were it not
that it is their paramount duty to put
people in Council who will pay out
street money with some regard for the
localities that contribute it.

Miss Mabel Evan, of Virginia. a daughter
of the late John w. Evan, of the Baltimore

South, was recently married in Geneva to
Nichola Sabbag Bey, of the Turkish diplo-
matte service.

min Ridgely, American Consul at Geneva.
A religious marriage followed. The groom
although a subject of the Ottoman Empire,
is also a Christian, and the ceremony was
solemnized in the new and beautiful little
Catholic church at st. Anthony of Padua, at
La Sarvette. The bride entered the church
on the arm of the American Consul, followed
by her mother, who was escorted by the
Hon. John J. Jacobs, of Kentucky.
A distinguished assembly witnessed the
ceremony, and a collation. was afterward
served at the Hotel Beau Rivage, the bride $
mother dong the honors. Sabbag Bey has
been intimately associated with the Khedve S
household, and is said to have been popular
at Cairo, where he met Miss Evan last winter.
The bride has resided in Paris for several
years. She is a sister of Miss Minnie Evan,
who is known Oh the operate stage, and
who has also resided in Paris several years.
Both Misses Mabel and Minnie spent

remembered by many in Frostburg
society

Wesley writing to james S. Davis,
assistant postmaster, i'll same mail, says
The river is not 50 feet away from where
am sitting on the back porch, and cocoanuts
are floating on the surface thick as leaves
from an autumn forest. They catch them
below here, make them into RATS and tow
them to the factories along the lake. Cocoa
nuts are as plentiful here as haws in the
woods at home.

They Were Merry"

The statement, printed in the GIcdnrr,
that the reading of the proposed order,
submitted by the JOURNAL to council
man Grose, not to Council, "causcd
a little mcrrimont.'
Why?
Did the bills month or two months
ago which occasioned the proposed order
cause any merriment 2" Did they not
cause SO much perplexity that Coun-
Gil hardly knew what to do with them
The JOURNAL kindly undertook to help
Council out by suggesting, not ''dicta-
ting" rates for adoption which would
afford itself and the ForHm respectable
pay and lift the Hcnncr out of the mire
of blackleggery for work that is 80 per
cent. transient.
And this OccaSiOned ''merriment'-
hey?
Did those smile who fixed transfers
rates at high-water mark:
Or did those grin who gave one of
their own numbcr-but the JOURNAL
will reserve this question for future use
if necessary.
The JOURNAL would like to know at
any rate why Council regards the wei
fare of the transfers as better index
of town prosperity than the welfare OF
town newspapers.
Because if Council really wants Il tilt
with the JOURNAL, inside or outside the
GieoHcr, the great paper is amply equipp
ed for the fray, and it will guarantee
to come out on top.
Don't forget that guarantee, please.

Unfair TO Fine the Poor.

II don't see why 1 should fine
these workingmen when there
are others who are committing
more fragrant violations of the
same law every day. Buffers
perfume wagons travel through
the streets day and night, scat
tering filth wherever they go.
Butler stands ia. He violates
the law with impunity. There
is no use fining the poor if the
rich to be permitted to go free"
This was Judge Zimmerman's
speech when he discharged five
teamsters who had been ar.
ranged in the Wyoming Street
Court Saturday on a charge of
overlooking their wagons with
clay from an excavation.
1t was shown that a portion
oil the dirt had fallen on the
city streets. The defendants
were Sylvester Woods, Thomas
Gibson, George Blaney, John
Wilkins and Philip Graft.
Though all except Woods plead
ed guilty, they were discharged
on the grounds stated by the
judge. Throw politics over
board and the foregoing is one of
the most rational, honest clear
cut decisions that has been
handed down from the courts
for some time.
