CHAPTER XIV.
The Barred Window.

lhS bdllSu NluuOM'
That evening was dark and cloudy.
BY nine o'clock the largest object
would not cast shadow.
Jacinta, still weak after the exhaust
ing excitement Of the day. waited al
most breathlessly for tho midnight
hour to come, for 1t was by this time
certain that the plan OF Francisco was
working to perfection. But, so
strangely are women constituted, even
as she rejoiced in the fact that her
fathers life was to be saved, she be-
gan to rebel against the fulhlment of
the promise that had made his saliva
tion possible.
She loathed and despised Francisco,
whom she knew to be a man of low
and brutal tastes, small, mean soul,
and her heart grew sick when she
thought Of the future that must now
be hers-bound to man upon whom
she would look only with loathing and
contempt,
And as her mind dwelt on the short
comings and evil character of the man
who was destined to be her husband,
there rose before her the picture Of the
handsome young American who had
rescued her from Franclsco's evil
hands.
There was a man she could have
loved.
"He loves another" she said to her.
SELF "And that other is to be married
to the hateful conqueror. All! if
were free, why might not the American
love me?"
She cast aside her gloomy thoughts
and went to the window, where, press
ing her tear-stained face against the
bars, she peered out into the starless
night. A slight rustling sound beneath
the window startled her. Sne took a
step backward in sudden fear.
She listened lntently. What was
that A whisper! She listened again.
This time there could be no doubt
A voice came out Of the darkness,
whispering, almost whistling the name,
"Salvarez."
"Are you the daughter Of General
Salvarez?" came the voice.
Eyes, yes" she replied. I'VE are
prisoners, thought you were also
taken"
80 we were," replied Medworth,
"but Tempest and I escaped"
you will be captured" said Jacinta,
really alarmed for him. "Why do you
not remain hidden?"
81 came to warn your fatAor--to
save him." was the reply.
Jacintas breath came hard. She
strained her eyes, and by the aid of
what little light escaped through the
window she saw the handsome face of
the American upturned to hers.
ITO save my father!" she exclaimed.
Brave friend! But he is already
safe"
"No, he Is not" said Medworth. 81
know what you mean. You promised
to marry Francisco"
"T loathe-hate-des him." whis-
pered Jaclnta.
Perhaps you do" said Medworth, in
reply to her remark about Francisco.
"You ought to. Did he promise to save
your father If you consented to be his
wife?"

The Ave American locomotives now
in use on the Bengal Central railway
in India are giving fair satisfaction.
They were at first found to consume
great deal more coal than British
engines, but after certain alterations
had been made the fuel consumption
was reduced to the English rate, These
engines have been running since the
summer of 1899 and last year similar
locomotives were supplied to the AS
sam Bengal railway, and also for the
Oudh and Rohilkhund line, as well as
for the Burma railway.

Origin Of Agulnaldo's Name.

A writer in one of the prominent
magazines gives a very curious origin
of the name of AguinaIdo, the Philip
pine ex-chieftaln. Its source Is found
in the French words, "Au gui I an
neuf!" the cry used by the Druid
priests in their ancient ceremonies
when going out to cut the mistletoe at
the New York. In popular speech this
phrase was pronounced Aguilanneau,
and was carried over into the Spanish.
where 1t makes its appearance an
"Aguinaldo," Christmas box or pres
ent given to the children at the holi-
days. \

Additional Train Service.

1t will not be many more weeks
until the Second division of the B. &
o. will have added to it's passenger
train traffic some eight or ten Penn
sylvania railroad flyers, which will be
run direct from Cleveland, Ohio, to
Washington. The Pittsburg Post,
one of the best authorities on rail-
road matters in the country, had the
following to say in its columns Tues
day:
with the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio consolidated, a
Cleveland Washington Baltimore fly
er is assured. The route via of the
Pennsylvania lines and Baltimore
and Ohio between Cleveland and
Washington will be just 444 miles, or
So miles shorter than the line via
Altoona and Harrisburg. 1t is 517
miles from Washington to Cleveland
via the Pennsylvania and the Penn
sylvania lines, and only 444 miles via
the Pennsylvania lines and the Bal
timore and Ohio. When the new
bridge is completed and the Balti-
more and Ohio connected with the
new Union Station established, the
G. & P. flyers can be ruin through
solid to Washington and Baltimore
on the direct and short line"

Returned from the PHILIPPINES.

Peter Bickford and NJ. L. Ralston,
of this county, after serving almost
two years in the volunteer service of
the army, were mustered out at the
Preside, San Francisco, Cal, on
July 5, and arrived in Oakland day
or two ago. Mr.. Bickford was mem
Der of the 43d regiment and during
the service in the Philippines extend
ing over a period of 16 months his
regiment was engaged in 451 different
actions and sustained loss of 50 men
killed, So wounded and 2 drowned.
In return the regiment captured from
the enemy large number of rifles,
cannon, ammunition, ETC., and S27, 800
in Mexican money.
Mr.. Bickford expresses himself as
being entirely satisfied with his army
life and has no desire to re-enlist.
His chum Ralston shares his senti-
ments and they both expect to again
take up a civilians life, well knowing
that to their country they have rem
dered efficient and valuable service.

save the party from destruction.
When he signed the new ballot law,
which was intended to disfranchise
all the illiterates who would not sup
port Mr.. German, did any one hear
the governor regret that the State
would make poor showing at the
Buffalo fair? And when a useless CEN
sus was provided for-useless because
the Federal authorities are making
the necessary corrections-Mr, Smith,
the governor, was thinking of future
political power and the United States
Senate.
The fact is, the governor has been
entirely engrossed, during his service
in Office, with political scheming, and
the material wealth and resources"
of the State will have to worry along
as best they can until Maryland gets
another governor. John Walter did
not ask the taxpayers to provide
funds for creditable exhibition OF
N"i iOeOUlSOo az VIC oil Ah4cT4Cdus
and he also failed to get the public
consent to his extra session and all
that followed therefrom. When cleo
ton day comes around that one hun
dred thousand dollars which was in
effect Democratic campaign fund,
will have been spent, and the Buffalo
fair will be at end. Perhaps the gov
ernor will again have occasion to ex-
press his regrets.

BRYAN a Dead One,

When Mr.. Bryan recently eliminat-
ed himself from the list of candidates
for the next Democratic presidential
nomination there was a general be-
lief that he would be found at the old
stand, and ready to accept, when the
crucial moment arrived. Later de-
velopments, however, have demon
strated that Bryan has been depo sed
from the leadership which he arbi-
trarily assumed at the time of his
first nomination, and that his words
of counsel are no longer seriously
considered by the party which twice
honored him with its support.
The first step in the reorganization
of the Democratic party was taken
when the Ohio convention not only
put its foot down on Brvanisn, but
also trampled under foot his portrait.
This radical breaking away from the
hobbies and follies of the past five
years naturally aroused interest as to
the sentiment of Democratic leaders
in other states, and expressions of
that sentiment were not long in COM
ing. The always vigorous Henry
Watterson promptly applauded the
action of the Ohio convention, and
without any mincing of words rele-
gated Bryanisn to the rear. From
Missouri comes the opinion of Charles
A. Walsh, secretary of the Demo
cratic National Committee, that the
next Democratic nominee will be a
Missourian. Such prominent Geor-
gians as Governor Chandler, Senator
Clay and Hoke Smith indorse the
work of the Ohio Democracy, and ex-
Congressman Twigg predicts that
Virginia Democrats will follow the
lead of the Columbus convention.
The leaven of reorganiza ton is work
ing, and so rapidly that it promises
to soon permeate the whole lump, so
far as the regulars are concerned.
The abandonment of Bryanism,
trouble for the Democracy, for it will
undoubtedly meet with the opposi-
ton of Bryan's large following, and
create dissentions more serious than
that resulting from his first nomina-
ton, when many Democrats bolted
the ticket. How far this antagonism
of the Bryanites will go can only be
conjectured at present, but it is
bound to be felt in the campaign in
the Buckeye State.
1t is a hopeless fight that the Bry-
antics will wage, their leader haying
been discredited by the party; but it
is within their power to throw seri-
GUS obstacles in the path of the reor-
ganizers. No difference what his
disgruntled followers do, the fact
looms up prominently that Bryan is
at last dead 'un.''

Monte Vista Sold.

Mr.. Edwin L. Mitchell, of Oakland,
acting as agent for the owner, recent
ly sold to Nelson Thomasson, Esq, of
Chicago, ILL.,, the place recently
owned by DR.. g. M. P. King, known
as Monte Vista. situated a short dis
tance south of Oakland, for the sum
$4,000. The property commands a
view of the country on the east and
south and comprises besides the large
and roomy house a tract of forest
and improved land, barn and other
buildings. Mr.. Thomasson is a
wealthy real estate man of Chicago
and his newly acquired property in
this section will be vastly improved
and used by him as summer resi-
dence. Mr.. Thomasson and family
are now at Altoona, Pa.

A New Heating Apparatus Needed.

At recent meeting of the school
board the subject of heating the Oak
land public school building was dis
cussed. The present system of heat
ing the building, although put in at
an enormous cost, has never been en-
tirely satisfactory and in recent years
the odors ascending from the closets
in the basement of the building to
the rooms above have been almost
unbearable. In number of cases
scholars have become i'll and thereby
lost time at their studies. These, how
ever, are not the only objections to
the system. Another, aside from the
cost of installation, repairs, bad Cd
ors and fuel, is the immense amount
Of space taken up by the ventilating
stacks and chimneys. All this room
could be easily utilized just now to
great advantage owing to the crowd
ed condition of the building.
The system has been a bill of ex-
pense to our people ever since it was
put in and the sooner a plan to heat
and ventilate the structure is evolved
the better. Another objection has been
that during extreme cold weather it
has been found almost impossible to
raise the temperature to even nor
NAL degree of warmth with the result
that day after day teachers and
scholars have been uncomfortably
cold.

National Bank at Grantsyille.

The Comptroller of the Currency
has authorized the First National
Bank of Grantsyille, this county, to
begin business. The bank will have
a capital of $4,000 divided into
shares of small amounts. The incor-
porators are Uriah M. Stanton, DR..
g. G. Keller and Cortez Jennings, of
Grantsville; Frank Watts and w. E.
g. Kitchens, of Frostburg.
The location of the institution at
Grantsville will be a great conven-
fence to the people of that section
and will result in keeping the money
otherwise sent away at home. The
banking room will probably be in a
room of the Getty store building.

GOVERNOR Smith, in his speech at
Buffalo on Maryland Day, expressed
regret that the material wealth and
resources" of this State are not more
extensively represented at the Pan
American Exposition. The Governor
tries to shift the blame by saying that
the value of expositions are not ap-
preciated by taxpayers or by legis-
lators.
This will remind the taxpayers, es-
pecially, that Governor Smith called
the Legislature of this State together
last March in extraordinary session.
To advance the material interests of
Maryland? to provide for the local in
dustries of Maryland? Not bit of it.
John Walter did not say word about
the Buffalo Exposition, but the Dem
ocratic stronghold was in danger and
a hundred thousand dollars of the
public money was appropriated to

FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR
FRANKLIN P. GREEN,
Of District No. If.

MR.. S. A. WILLIAMS friends an
nounce him candidate for the Re
publican senatorial nomination. Mr..
Goldsborough, Mr.. Lowndes and 9th
ers have also been announced. This
is in striking contrast with the Dem
ocratic party. There German has
announced himself and no others
dare apply. 1t is, indeed, strange the
Democratic party cannot find sin
gle man as a candidate except one
who has been defeated, driven from
Office and whose name is synonymous
with. everything that is unsavory in
Maryland politics. Yet with that
condition fact it is not surprising a
Democratic governor refuses to vote
for Democratic candidates outside the
ring. 1t is nothing more than can be
expected to find all independent, fair
minded, substantial citizens outside
the ring and relegated to the shades.
In the Republican party it is en-
tirely different and the best men are
put forward because the party stakes
it's existence on the commentator
and approval of the people. 1t is a
well known fact that the Republican
party has been looking after the af-
fairs of the country for nearly half
century. 1t gave Maryland the best
administration it has had for many
years and the people will place it in
control at the next opportunity and
see that it is kept there.
In the meantime the Democrats can
determine whether Mr.. German shall
be their candidate or Mr.. German,
who is sometimes styled the "boss"
or the ''old man.

Alack AlaSt

Poor old Democracy, what pitiful
sight it does make before the eyes of
the people! Its behavior is similar
to that of a wilful fretful child rather
than that of men of mature minds. A
few years ago leader appeared for
the Democratic hosts and he was
elected president, but before his sec
ond term expired his party turned
against him and the Democrats have
labored ever since to bring reproach
and obliquity on the name of Grover
Cleveland. The Democracy turned to
new star in the west with all the
enthusiasm of fanatical devotion, and
twice nominated VIM. J. Bryan as
presidential candidate. 1t upheld his
platform because it represented just
the opposite from that of Cleyeland.
The party went over to him with
complete abandon and repudiated all
those principles that had been syn
onymous with Democracy for years.
Now Democracy startles the coun-
try by trampling Bryan's picture in
the dust. A convention composed of
$50 delegates only had six to do hon
or to the man who was called but
short while ago the "Great Common
err" the boy Orator of the Platte"
the Apostle of Free Silver" and the
Savior of Democracy"
Certainly the affairs of such great
nation as this cannot be entrusted to
the care of a party that is so contra
dictory, SO capricious and seemingly
so unbalanced. Democrats say that
they are not for gold but for free sill
yer, and now they insult the very in
spiration of the free silver cause. AS
long as the Democracy is in position
to plunge about from one platform or
set of principles to another without
doing any damage to the nation,
there can be no objection entered to
its gymnastics. The only thing nee
essary is to keep it where it can do
no harm and the people will see that
it is done.

term in the Senate expires On March
4, 1908. German wants to succeed
Wellington. Perhaps German hopes
that comparison with Wellington's
obliquities will diminish his own
angularities. But he will be mistaken
if he supposes Wellington's feebleness
will strengthen him. There are tens
of thousands of voters in Maryland
belonging to both the great parties
who hate German for himself, and
are not going to be deluded into sane
tioning him on account of their detes-
tation of the Republican in the pres
ent Senate. German will be COM
bated on his own merits. Wellington
will step down from the Senate in a
little less than two years hence, and
the man who takes his place will not
be named Gorman.-St. Louis Globe

Struck bv Lightning,

During the severe electrical storm
which prevailed in this section yester-
day afternoon bolt of lightning
descended and entered the home of
Thomas Sanders, who lives some five
or six miles south of town on the
West Union road. The lightning
entered under the kitchen door tear
ing up the weather strip and running
along to where Mrs. Sanders was
engaged at the cook stove preparing
supper it struck her ON the left foot
tearing her shoe into shreds and pass
ing to her right foot moved upwards
along her limbs and body, burning
her quite severely and almost dedud-
ing her of clothing. Her burns ap-
pear as though she had been scalded
with hot water. She was wholly con-
scious when DIR. Hinebaugh, who had
been summoned to attend her,
arrived, and to him she related her
experience.
After the lightning had entered the
house it evidently DIVIDED, one fork
striking Mrs. Sanders and the other
going on through the kitchen to the
sitting room where it struck a stove
after having splintered the floor and
setting fire to the carpet. The flames
were extinguished, however, before
any material damage had been done.
Mrs. Sanders had a miraculous
escape from almost instant death and
this morning she is reported to be
very much improved and that no
serious consequences are likely to
follow her experience.

The New Vault at the Garrett County
Rank

There has just been completed for
the above named bank one of the
latest improved burglar proof vaults,
massive in appearance, artistic in de-
sign, and of the best known burglar
proof metal.
The interior of the brick walls,
which are two feet in thickness, is
lined with FIVE ply Chrome steel, and
contains As safe deposit boxes for the
storing of valuable papers. 1t also
contains Corliss Burglar Proof Safe,
in which are kept the funds and
securities of the bank, and one entire
side of the vault is taken up by a
cabinet for the accommodation of the
books and papers belonging to the
bank.
The inner door from appearance
would seem to be all that could be
desired for the protection of the con-
tents of the vault, being built up of
steel plates and braces to thickness
of three and a half inches, but in
addition to this is the massive outer
door, built of drill proof steel plates
and heavy braces to thickness of
six inches, and operated and con-
trolled by the celebrated yale Auto
matte Time Lock, " an ingenious piece
of machinery which operates the %
large bolts with comparative ease,
and which does its work with the
regularity of the finest watch. This
time lock is composed of three of the
finest movements, either of which
will operate the bolt work.
In addition to all this, is a very
strong and artistic gate which affords
protection at all times during the day,
and can only be opened by the en-
ployees of the bank who are entrust-
ed with key, and not by them with
out ringing bell which calls the at
tention of every one in the bank that
some one is entering the vault.
This magnificent structure reflects
great credit on the management of
the bank and evidences to the public
that every precaution is being taken
by this old reliable institution to
safeguard the funds entrusted to its
care.
