I'actf'uI,

A little tact sometimes saves a great
deal of pain, and every man whose duty
it is TO select or dimiss employees will
find its use as essential to his own COM
fort as to that of the men with whom he
deals. The New York SIM tells the story
of Il case which called for extraordinary
tact and received it.
The conductor was trying the voice OF
ii young woman who wished to secure a
place i'll an opera troupe. The manager
was standing by. The candidate was
frail and timid. She finished her song
with an air Of distress.
How is it :" asked the manager, un,
tremendously.
The conductor caught the pleading
eyes of the girl. But he had his duty tc
perform. He struck three notes ON the
piano and left the rest to the manager.
The three notes We're h \ ID.

Removal.

The JOURNAL began Saturday the work
of transferring its plant from the Hitch
ins Bros. company building, Union
street, to the John Price building, 1903
Broadway, and the work, nearly COM
plete, was accomplished without loss or
accident.
This statement is not of great public
interest, but ought to be made in order
that due acknowledgment of the skillful
services of those outside the regular force
who solved the puzzling problem of
getting down stairs" should be accord
ed. These comprise B. 7. Schotield, the
veteran machinist; his no less skillful
son, Fred. c., of Homecoming; A. B. Lar
gent, resourceful, strong, industrious
worker; John A. Wagner and John
Adams, timers; III. f. Young & Co.,
plumbers, Michael Dolan, bricklayer;
Silas w. Duggan and H. c. Griffith,
carpenters of johnson Bros, and John
Grove, of the +. c. Beall hardware house
All are masterwOrkers, each III his
line.
As before stated, the new place is 100
Broadway. Pilgrims looking for the
best newspaper and other printing, COM
ing northward need not stop until they
reach 1909; coming southwark from Union
street they need go no farther. 100
Broadway, remember.
Locally the Cumberland .Ne"S of
yesterday says:
Editor J, B. Oder, after being located at one
point in Frostburg for thirty years. this week
removed the plant of the MINING JOURNAL to
Broadway street. Editor Oder is now on the
first floor and being easily seen will be over
whelmed with visitors. Heretofore it was
necessary to climb PERCEPTIONS flight of
stairs to interview him.
And editOrially-
Editor Oder has moved TO first floor room
in Frostburg but he will still conduct his
newspaper OH lofty principles, and the descent
from his former high perch will have no cor
responding descent in the quality of his paper.
Both notices are neat, nice, neighborly,
and the JOURNAL is duly grateful.

About two weeks ago George Crissing-
er, living between Pocahontas and Sails
bury, Pa, had horse get away from

however, but advised Crissingernot to re-
mount. CriSsinger remarked that he
chad ridden the horse and can do it
again With some difficulty he got
on, but the horse, not content with
throwing him, asSailed him viCiously
with fore feet, inflicting injuries upon
Crissinger' head which resulted in death.
Mr.. Crissinger was Son-in-law of Fred.

A Strong Plea.

FRo5TBuRG, MD April 10, 1901.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
On Monday evening last there as
senbled Il majority of the clerks of the
town whose object was to make an
ernest effort and use every honorable
means to obtain shorter days labor.
One of the means determined upon
was to request the JOURNAL for a small
space in its columns to appeal to the
buying public to make their purchases
before o'clock of each evening, and to
state that the merchants of the town,
with one exception, had promised to
close their respective places Of business
at p. M, Saturdays, pay-days and the
day following payday excepted
The statesmen think that they are not
asking too much when they request to
be relieved at p. m, and they have
faith enough i'll their fellow -laborcr, no
matter what his calling may be, to be
lievc that they will receive his earnest
support i'll this movement They, there
fore, have no hesitancy i'll asking the
public to make their purchases before the
time stated, namely p. M.
1t is claimed by some that it would
not be treating the miners right to close
at the hour named as it would not give
them chance to do their buying after
they came home from work. What a
tiimsy excuse! We all know that our
miners will be the last to make the lot of
their fellow-laborer harder than there is
any necessity for, and we also know that
there is not one miner out of every fifty
who does the purchasing, that duty as a
rule falling upon some other member of
the family if not his mother, then his
wife or sister, or, perhaps, one of his
children. We do not blame the miner
for the Salesmen's long work day.
In conclusion, we would like to call at
tentiOn to the fact that Cumberland
closes at 6 p. M, Homecoming at p. III.
Mt. Savage at r., p. H., and Frostburg
at any old time-Some at l. others at ~.
and so on up to 10 or 4 p. III.
What we want is uniformity all over
the town. all to close at the same hour
and that hour at p. M, sharp, Oh
earlier, if possible and we think that
our employers will find that it will be to
our mutual benefit to give us Il shorter
days labor.
