The Parade and Picnic.

The town looked quite gnIu with flag
and bunting last Saturday i'll token of
welcome to visiting companies and honor
to the home organization.
The weather, however, was not cheer
ing, yet early the promenades became
gay with well-dressed people anxious to
see all there was going. 1t isneedless to
say the crowd would have been larger
had the skies been more propitious.
Shortly after 10, when all the trains
had arrived, the procession, formed at
the station, entered Union street and
moved westward to Vogtmau's park.
The line, over IA half mile in length was
pretty stretch of men, if not stretch
of pretty men-the ladies can frame that
statement as they like-and comprised
the following organizations:
South Cumberland Hose company, of
Cumberland-4l men.
Alert Fire company, of Meyersdale, Pa
20 men.
Cumberland Hose company, No. |, of Cum
berand-l6 men.
Good Will Fire company, of Lnnaconing-
p men.
Pioneer Hook and Ladder company, of
Cumberand-l5 men.
Frostburg Fire Dependencies men.
The bands i'll line We're the
Mt Savage Union Cornet, of Mt. Savage.
South Cumberland, Of Cumberland.
A. o. H. No. l. of Frostburg.
The entire parade was conducted I'M
der the direction of Owen DandO, chief
marshal.
A feature which afforded real pleasure
to the long lines of spectators was the
Firemens Masquerade, Howard Saur-
baugh, marshal, commanding - mas
queraders and whole lot of funny
paraphernalia. This part of the enter
tainment was well devised and executed
"A little slow i'll keeping up with the
procession" but all the more laughable
for that.
At the park the usual amuSements
We're INDUCED all day until late i'll the
night, the success of the day financially
being slightly impaired only by the
threatening weather
Of the visiting organizations the South
Cumberland Hose company, with II men
in line, carried away the $40 prize Of
fcred for the largest number.
The Reel race provided for in the pros
pectus did not take place, none of the
visiting companies caring to enter.
The spectators were prOfuse i'll com

the attention of neurologists and of
those learned in medical jurisprudence.
While yet the facts of the case are
all unknown, the circumstances of it
have brought out many opinions and
much data in regard to hysteria- 1t

Whether science has learned anything
definite or is still cropping in the dark,

brought up the question of woman's

and various other questions Dr. AL
Ian McLane Hamilton, well known
everywhere as a neuro1ogist, has made
