Missouri Strawberries at Buffalo

Strawberries, ripe, red, juicy
and odorous. the first Of the gar
den fruits Of this year to be exhibit
ed at the Pan-Amcrican glowed
with Just pride in the Horticultural
building this morning. There are
Is, 400 quarts of them, constitut-
ing carload which arrived from
Missouri and were promptly dis
played for the admiration Of visi-
tors. Every berry was perfect.
They were equally large, whether
found on the top, bottom or mid
die of the box. Missouri berries
evidently have never learned the
savage strife peculiar to Eastern
fruits, whereby the few largest
reach the top and the many small
est the bottom.
The exhibit was collected by
Commissioner Charles <. Bell.
who returned from Missouri on
Sunday to make arrangements for
receiving the berries. They were
grown by 1. exhibitors belonging
to the Monnett Berry Grower S
Association. The varieties include
the Warield, Candy, Burbeck,
Phillips, Aroma, Haverland, Star,
Clyde and Saunders. So great
was the demand for berries in the
southwest, owing chiefly to dry
weather in Arkansas, that Com
missioner Bell had to buy part of
the exhibit outright--Butfalo On.

The entire tax levy for state
purposes is % cents Oh the 800
dollars valuation. of which, the
constitution specifies, two tifths
shall be applied the state debt and
the interest thereon. Former Sec
retary of State Lese.,er. in his Of
fetal manual for 1898 says: II
estimate that the receipts into the
general revenue fund in 1901 and
1902. from all sources under OK
isiing laws will be s., 900. 900. AS
the general revenue fund takes ex-
actIy the same proportion of the
whole levy as the law gives the in
terest and sinking fund it is clear
that the people have been paying
in recent Years between four and
five million dollars every two years
for the reduction of the state debt
and this year and next the pay
ment for this purpose is estimated
at full five millions. Will any of
our Democratic friends contend
that, even with the addition of the
state school funds improperly APP
piled to this purpose, the state
debt reduction shows where all this
money is going to! In giving out
the above statement MIR. Leseuer
warned the state administration
that the money collected for gcncr-
al revenue purposes would not he
sufficient fer Democratic expendi-
lures for the two years given, and
urges the necessity of further pro
visions for more revenue. From
this state of affairs one would ma
turalIy, and Justly so, conclude
that the funds shown in the dis
parity between the collections on
state interest account and the act
ual reduction Of the state debt have
been finding their way into a hole
in the general revenue fund, Great
by Democratic extravaganza. We
hand this to the HiIlsboro Demo-
crat as another nut to crack.

In Chicago there has recently

a serious freight wreck in which
turtle back engine 1866 and helper
engine 1910 were badly demolished,
occurred at 4:15 o'clock Monday morn
ing in Kingwood tunnel on the First
district of the Baltimore and Ohio.
Engineer J. +. Doolan and Fireman
&. H. Ritter, of the helper, were both
painfully, but not dangerously in
iured. 1t is said Engineer DooIan
had one ear cut off. Fireman J. Cole
man, of the 1866, had his knee badly
mashed. The accident occurred
about BALI mile under ground and
the tunnel being only single track
made it very much more difficult to
clear up the wreck The wreck was
caused by the 1910 running into the
1866 as the latter was pulling a heavy
train up the grade and the helper was
returning from helping another train
up. Both engines and several cars
were derailed and about 1875 feet of
the track torn up.
The 1866 was pulling along very
slowly on account of her helper fail
ing for steam or the accident would
haye been more disastrous. AS it was
all trains both east and west were de-
layed several hours. Eastbound ex-
press trains Nos. and 9 were delayed
10 hours. William Linn, of South
Cumberland, engineer of the 1866
escaped injury, except being badly
shaken up. Engineer j. E. Doolan
was taken to his home at Newburg
and Firemen G.. H. Ritter and j. H.
Coleman were taken to Cumberland.
One of the engines after being drag
ged from the tunnel was taken to
Rowlesburg and the other to New
burg, where they were disconnected
and hauled into the South Cumber.

An Elkins visitor said his father

of wings and after attaching them
to her shoulders. jumped from a
second-story window to take an ariel
voyage. The result was a twenty
foot fall to the ground, and both arms
were broken. The preacher rushed
to her assistance and tenderly picked
her up, remarking. Susan. you have
the right faith, bat the wrong flop. -
1t was Horace Greeley who said: at

good thing, we never hear of that;
nobody seems to notice it. We pay
some men a hundred compliments,
and give them dozen puffs, and they
take it us "A tribute to their greatness
never think it does them any good,
but if we happen TO say anything one
of these men does not like or some
thing he imagines reflects on his char
acter, see how quickly he flares up
and gets excited about it. Then our
evils are charged up to us but we
never apparently get credit for the
good we do"

Developing Rich Deposits That Need an

W. S. Sharpless and f. R. Sharp
less of Swanton, are the owners of
valuable coal lands on the Backbone
Mountain, on the south side of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which
are underlaid with three distinct veins
of coal-a 4-foOt, 6-foot, and 9-foot
vein. The 6-foot vein, which is pro-
nounced to be equal in quality to the
best coal produced from the big vein
golfers in the Georges Creek region,
is open and being operated on linn
tied scale, but the present lack of
transportation facilities to the Balti-
more and Ohio stands in the way of
any extensive development of this
vein of the lands adjoining those of
the Sharpless brothers, which also
have the same mineral deposits, are
hampered in like manner. and it is
understood that all are favorable to
the formation of a company for the
purpose of securing the necessary
means of transportation to the Balti-
more and Ohio, either at Swanton,
about p miles distant, or at No. 40
water station, between Swanton and
Frankville, about J miles distant. If
the latter route be selected an incline
plane about half mile long would be
required.

A. Sherman, appeared in the Court
of Appeals at Annapolis on last Fri
day and assisted Mr.. r. T. Semmes.
of Cumberland, in arguing the case in
which the Woman's Foreign Mission
airy Society of the Methodist Episco-
pal church is appellant and Mr.. Mitch
ell, as administrator, is appellee. The
appellants in the case were sent down
from the Circuit Court of this county,
in equity, passing upon certain lega-
cies in the will of Miss Maria Adelaide
Sherman.

ton of the will of Miss Maria Abel
aide Sherman, who, after making GER
tain requests, devised the residue of
her estate to the board of managers
of the Foreign Missionary Society of
the Methodist Episcopal church, to
be used to educate girls in Bible read
ing in India
The suit, it is claimed, was brought
for the purpose of setting aside the
will on the ground of uncertainty in
the devise and the decree below
against the will, and the appeal taken
by the Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society upon the theory that the
testatrix intended to leave the money
to them and not to the board of man
ayers of the other society, who were
incompetent to take it, not being an
incorporated institution.
