by the high pitch Of the roof and the
width of the upper deck. The headlin-
ing, soft shade of green. conforms
we'll to the general scheme of color.
Saloons are introduced at both ends
of the cars, in which there are the usu-
al toilet conveniences. These saloons
are partitioned from the body of the
car by bulkheads ornamented with pam
els, heavy green glass and brass grilles
All the brass work is artistic and the
shades of the deck tile. plush and car
pets harmonic with the general dec
orative effect.
The seats are of a new pattern; their
upholstery is. rich in material and color
and the system of springs on which
they are built adds greatly to their COM
fort,

and are provided with curtains Of q
reddish brown material, of a design es-
pecially selected for these cars The
movement of the curtains Is. controlled
by fixtures which permit them to be
raised to any desired height. The WIN
dows, fitted with special fixtures, are
so carefully balanced as to be raised by
simple mechanism fixed to the Sill.

introduced in the body of each car, and
one in each vestibule. give an abund-
ance Of light and render the car very
attractive at night.
One Of the greatest of modern i'm
provements that has been introduced
is the system of heating and ventila-
ton. The source Of heat is steam from
the locomotive. Steam Is carried into
each car, passing through radiators.
and the condensation returned to the
tender Of the locomotive by means OF
vacuum pump. This system permits
Of perfect regulation Of temperature,
and by easy manipulation prevents tho
extremes that are so annoying to pas
sengers. The improvement III ventila-
ton consists in a radical change from
past practice, which drew the cold air
through ventilators located in the roof
of the car and distributed 1t on the
heads Of passengers. With this system
the usual sash In the upper part cf tho
car is never opened. The cold air is
admitted through pipes located at each
end of the car and passed through the
radiator boxes which are located near
the floor being heated In It's passage
before entering the car. This system,
therefore, obviates the discomfort OF
draughts. and insures at all times per-
feet ventilation. The vitiated air e.
capes by natural means through ven
tilators placed in the roof.

ALMOST 100 YEARS OLD
The Venerable Amos Broadw alter,
Garrett COunty's Oldest Cit
izeu, Passes Away.
hi WAS BORN ON AUGUST 9, 1904,
And Died on Saturday Last at the Home
of His Son Near New Germany-Father
ofTwelVe Children.

The venerable Amos Broadwater,
oldest citizen of Garrett county, died
at the residence of his son near New
Germany, on Saturday last, having
reached the remarkable age of ninety
seven years, four months and six
days. The cause of Mr.. Broadwater's
death is presumed to have been a
general breakdown of his system ow-
ing to his age.
He was the son of Charles and
Rebecca Broadwater; was born in
Loudon county, Va, and moved with
his parents to Allegany county in
1907, and to the place where he died
in 1924, at that time Il dense wilder
ness stretching from Fort Cumber-
land on the East to Fort Duquense,
or Pittsburgh, on the West. The
most remote ancestor of Amos Broad
water was Cornelius Broadwater, who
was born in England, emigrating to
this country in 1904. Charles Broad
water, the son, served in the war
with Great Britain in 1872 He was
one of the "Old Defenders of Balti-
more, and died in the year 1859, aged
81 years.
To the Miscellaneous Writings"
of Mr.. Jacob Brown, of Cumberland,
published in 1895, we are indebted for
the following concerning the life of
Mr.. Broadwater
Amos Broadwater is now the liv-
ing Abraham of the race-born Aug.

but little signs of old age, mounts his
horse and can ride to Oakland or

reference is made to a meeting be-

But there was no class of people
who SO much enjoyed the holiday sea-
son as the colored folk, especially the
slaves. To them Christmas never came
too soon or often. Their anxiety for
its advent was almost unbearable.
When it did come their enioyments
were a source of pleasure to ALTO
the white people to see the colored
people in the ecstacies of their enjoy
ments and amusements which usually
lasted a week or more. Jesse Tom
linson, a good old master, had Gus.
tom of giving his favorite, Ephraim,
holidays as long as good, stout back
log would last in the oldtime chimney
in his little log house near the an
cient Tomlinson mansion, long since
disappeared. The old master was al
ways anxious about the Christmas
back log, once more than usually so.
Ephraim was admonished to have his
log in time. Yes, master, it shall
be attended in time The fact was
on that anxious occasion the Christ
mas emblem was for weeks lyin
in soak in the goose pond. That
turned out to be the longest vacation
the faithful servant ever enjoyed in
his life of servitude or subsequent
freedom. The masters solicitude for
the timely log changed to wonder as
to its durability.
In those times, with their far back
numbers, we did not hear of that per-
sonage now known as Santa Claus,
but he or she under different name
was sure to visit many households on
Christmas eve where there were chill
dren. And there was more reality in
this visitor than now-was known as
Kris krinkle, Betty Nickle and some
times as Christmas Woman, and
sometimes it would be veritable
woman with masculine force and ac-
ton. He or she would be equipped
with an ample sack about the shout
ders filled with cakes, nuts and fruits
and a suitable hazel switch which
was supposed to possess some kind of
a charm in it as well as a smart. One
hand would scatter the goodies upon
the floor and then the scramble would

Broadwater married again, the sec
ond wife being quite young.

BAD WEATHER FOR CHRISTMAS.
Rev. Irl Hicks Does not Expect Us to Have
Very Pleasant Month from

The following is the prediction of
lrl Hicks for the rest of the month.
Our readers may watch it and see if
he can beat the goose bone and the
ground hog in predicting at long
range:
The next change to storm condi-
tions will be central 10th to 18th.
This reactionary will also bring its
quota of Winter storms-first rainy
and warmer, with possibly lightning
and thunder Southwark, but turning
to snow West and North. All
through these winter solstice storm
dangerous billiards are highly prob
able, and very cold waves and high
Northwesterly winds will come as
sequels to the regular storm periods.
Watch storm indications when plan
ming journey, or making arrange
ments for outdoor undertakings.
The shortest days and longest
nights will be about the 21st to 25th.
Inc proDaDllltleS OF heavy Winter
storms are very great, say about Sun
day, 22nd to Thursday, Goth. These
storms will eliminate in general and
heavy rains in the South, but about
the full Moon, on Christmas
Day, sweeping snow storms will visit
the Western, Northern and central
parts of the country.
On and touching the Goth and Both,
the regular reaction from the anti
storm conditions will take place,
bringing change to warmer, cloud
mess and more snow. The year will
go out with these disturbances disap-
pearing to the East and cold, fair
weather following up from the West
and North.
