A lady lectures the Cumberland city
council sOundly concerning paving
bill and gives that body 10 days grace to
explain or she will expose the whole un-
gallant caboOdle i'll the newspapers. But
if there be one thing less than another
Cumberland councilman is afraid of it is
"A Cumberland newspaper. His heart,
made of raw material for tombstones,
cannot be reached by scare-heads III
newspapers. That trick is reserved for
FroStburg, where it is newspaper that

y movement to evangclize the coun-
try, then the world, is on foot in New
York. New Years eve is set for the
start, but the promoters should be Il little
particular about locating the place. BY
appointment the first great enterprise of
this character began ''in Jerusalem"
but as New York, Chicago and Cumbcr-
land appear to be sensitive to reproof for
sin, 1t may not be polite to select any
one of them as a proper initial point
A Homecoming, al,
day, telling about Il Burns banquet given
several years ago i'll his town, which was
evidently not Il dry affair, said-"Aye

"Please fetch me another piece of

Cumberland restaurant Tuesday night
This one looks like it had been
tapped a half dozen times with hot
bell-rope."
Homecoming, it is also feared, is discon-
tented with the census indiciu of its
magnitude as a virtuous town. 1t, too,
forgets that the village that wants to be
big by the same token wants to be bad.
Operations at the James Clark and

The Cumberland Nr~S says Warner
had a number of convicted strikers par
doned before the election twas War
ner also who contested with Col Pearre
the distinction of bringing the opera
tors and miners together when neither
could turn Il wheel without the Business

Cumberland is in some woe about the

Court of Appeals affirmed the judg-
ment Of the Circuit Court of this county
in the "strike-riot'' cases. Messrs.
Warner and others have 10 days to ere
port for duty in the House of Correction
and Jail. To these unfortunate men
this is not "A Merry Christmas"
1t has been observed that the wise en-
ployee always laughs promptly when the
proprietor perpetrates joke. 1t is this
sort of happy thought at all the cases
and job press that keeps the Homecoming
star office in a roar all the time.
A Request that Failed.
The school commissioners could not
accommodate the 'commercialism' of
Cumberland by holding the county teach
crs' institute in that city Just before the
holidays"
Too bad.
After ALL what is the matter with
McCurdy's indictment? Why chide him
i'll the very hour and article of self-con-
fession of Il conspiracy to reach the AL
mighty Dollar that has fallen into the
teachers hands?
Were it in their power it is to be hoped
the school board will never yield to any
pressure of that character in the interest
of any town. Let the money that comes
to teachers in Frostburg, Homecoming,
Barton, Mt. Savage, etc, stay where it is
earned long as possible.
