TOWN AND VICINITY.


The Fo,Un claims to have read last
week two suggestions made by the editors
of the 'Delusively Great (stolen bodily
from its competitor, the GirdDct) and the
Exclusively Small (probably original,
but doubtful) i'll relation to the census. ."
Continuing, the Fo,Un, says
While these suggestions may not show a
lack of senses they certainly showed lack
(of) knowledge, that any person would not
expect to find in Solomon Senior or Solomon
Junior. For months the newspapers have
been giving information in relation to taking
the census and the duties and restrictions of
the enumerators. In the face of this Solomon
Junior suggested in the Cleaner that the
enumerators should have all the information
about Frostburg published in the papers.
Solomon Senior, not to be Outdone. cidjHcd
he mdde that, and another suggestion that the
enumeratorS should take the census within
the corporation limits, and then he boasted
that one of the COunCilmen acted on his Sug-
gestion and would bring the matter before
the Mayor and Council.
Then follows il lot of rot about the
G"dn"r and JOURNAL "arrogating to
themselves the right to advise and in
struct employees of the federal govern
ment who had received their instruc-
tionS from Washington"

NAL, May 26.
WELL TAKEN.
The JOURNAL called attention last week to
the desirability of having the census-takers
keep an account of corr Grafton population
separate, so the people can have what they
have never had before-a record of the towns
population proper.
The suggestion has been almost universal V
endorsed, and next Monday evening council,
man Hamill will ask the Mayor and Council
to unite i'll an official request to enumeratOrs
to adopt the uggestion.-JoURNAL, June >
Will the reader who finds in those
quotations that the JOURNAL set up any
prior claim to the suggestion "that the
enumcrators should have all the infor-
nation about Frostburg published in the
papers,"
There is no such claim, nor the hint of
such claim-anOther instance of misrep-
resentatiOn showing that the F6,tm can
not make ii statement concerning the
JOURNAL without lying.
In 1880, when it was too late, the
JOURNAL noticed that the census of pop
ulation of Frostburg was not at all re-
liable, owing to failure of enumerators
to keep it separately.
In 1890 it advised just the same thing
it did May 26, 1900, but the enumerators
of that era could not be impressed with
the Importance to the town of such IL
record. The result of their heedlessness
was report several hundred less than
the real population.
SO when it became IA live question in
1900, the JOURNAL referred to it again.
The ForHm, not having sense enough
to think of it, and only AN underground
pride in the progress of the town, treated
the JOURNALS forethought as though it
We're depreciating the value of lost
scoop"
In the course of policy SO mean it
could not, of course, attempt to make
its point without lying.

HOW TO ROAST MEATS.


This Culinary Fent.
Roast meat, though one of the com
monest modes of dressing it. Is by no
means an easy task. Roast meat Is
too often sent to the table nearly raw
or dried up till there is scarcely any
gravy in 1t. Now. good roasting con
sists in dressing the joint thoroughly
aSd yet retaining its juice.
The fire should be prepared some
time before the meat is put in the
oven. 1t should he so good as not to
require making UP while the joint is
roasting. \ great deal of the success
in roasting will depend on the fire.
The meat should be baStcd from the
first to shut in the juices.
The fat of lamb or veal should be
covered with piece of paper tied on
with twinc. The meat should be baSt-
ed very frequently, for the more it Is
baStcd the better 1t will taste. When
nearly done, the paper may be rcmOv-
ed and the joint lightly drcdgrd with
flour in order to give it Il Savory
brown appearance, sometimrs called
frothing. When ready to dish sprin-
kle lightly with salt.
The usual time for "oHSting is IL min

MANY ROADS involved
ITALIAN LABORERS PRECIPITATE
A TRANSPORTATION MIDDLE
ON LINES FROM CHICAGO
PONDS HAND IN sQUABBLE
He Is Quite Emphatic I'm His Denial
That the Wisconsin Central
Railway Company Cut
the Rates.

General Passenger Agent Pond, of the
Wisconsin Central, has taken a hand in
the sQuabble between the Chicago lines
over the recent movement of italian la
borers from Chicago for the Northern Pa
cifc. He has advised the Chicago lines
with headquarters here, the Burlington,
Minneapolis & St. Louis and Milwaukee,
that the reports that the road carried
the business for 81 figure are untrue.
He asserts that w. A. Miller. of the
Northern Pacific employment office, ITO
East Third, paved $S.O5 per capita for the
first bunch of laborers brought into st.
Paul, which numbered 125 persons, hop
ing by a shrewd move to get lower rate
for the remaining business.
Mr.. Pond is emphatic in his denial that
the Wisconsin Central cut the rates and
precipitated the present muddle between
the Chicago lines. His explanation Of
the movement of laborers over the line is
believed by several general passenger
agents and disbelieved by others. He
asserts that w. A. Miller made an eff
fort to bring in the first bunch for less
than the SS.05 rate and that failing this
he paid the full party figures, reasoning
that the movement Of such a large party
would at once result IN bringing sus-
picion on the Wisconsin Central and
would break the agreement covering this
class OF business.
substantially the agreement was to the
effect that a s. rate would be allowed only
when business was divided with all lines.
The result of the shrewd move of Mr..
Miller Mr. Pond asserts was entirely
satisfactory to him, in that the move
ment Of the party at once brought ac-
cusaUons against the Wisconsin Central
and led ultimately to q general disruption.
Since the first bunch was brought in, par
ties have been moved for per capita rates
as low as s..
The present situation between the Chi
cage lines IS accounted very unsatisfac-
tory, The roads which have refused to
accept the statement Of the Wisconsin
CentraIs general passenger agent are
waiting for a chance to get out their
knives, and are refusing to accept any
explanation Of the fact that the Central
captured the business, except that it Sc
cured 1t at a curt rate.
The Italians secured in Chicago by Mr..
Miller were employed under g. loose con-
tract with the Northern Pacific by which
that road instructed him to go in and
secure labOrers, naming the ma ximum
number which would be accepted There
being necessary & movement of about 900
laborers, ii Is said that Mr.. Miller hgur-
ed 1t more profitable to pay $SO5 for the
first 125, send them all over one line and
cause trouble which would lead to a rate
fight involving lower rates for the re-
mainder of his movement, than to divide
the business and pay 81 per capita ~
the whole number
