HAGERSTOWN NEWS GRlST
GOSSIP ABOUT ANDREW CARNEGIE'S
PROPOSED RAILROAD.
Maryland Lutheran Synod to Meet at
BoonsbOrO' Next-Tr0ut In
the Potomac.



HAGERSTOWN. Nd, January II, 1901.
The proposed new railroad OF Andrew
Carnegie, on the line of which Hagerstown
is outlined as an important station. is the
III permost topic of conversation in railroad,
financial and business circles here at the
present time. According to the best infor-
nation obtainable, this road will have
tidewater terminal at Locust Point. Balti-
more. The plan contempiates the use of
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie to a point just
north of Uniontown, Pa. From there The
line will run south to Morgantown, w. Va,
and turning east strike the West Virg MIA
Central at Piedmont. The West Virginia
Central runs into Cumberland, where
line would have to be built to connect with
the Western Maryland at Hagerstown and
Cherry Run. 1t is in this connection. 1t Is
believed, that the recent informal offer OF
$1,O0o,UOO was made 10 Mayor Hayes OF
Baltimore for the city's interest in that
road. This is where the most important
feature comes in. The Western Maryland
railroad has the only tfdewater franchise
in Baltimore available. Options on the
right-of-way leading to Locust Point, 1t Is
understood, have been quietly Obtained. and
that by direct purchase and options about
eleven acres have been secured at Locust
Point on deep water.

boro' since 1S36-sixty-five years ago. All
of the officers presiding at that synod are
now deceased.

bill of declarations filed placed the damages
at $1,000 This is two suits now on the
dockets of the court here against this pa
per. both for libel.

TO the Editor of The Evening Star:
On the 10Th instant an order was made
to deduct from the pay OF each clerk in
the Treasury Department for every hour
in excess of his annual leave. If absent
two hours over thirty days, two-sevenths
of days pay was deducted. and on.
Now probably not one of those from whose
pay a deduction was made had any idea of
taking more than thirty days leave 1t has
been the practice in the office of the auditor
for the Post Office Department not to
charge the hours at the end of year I'M
less they amounted to a day Many of the
clerks wishing leave during the holidays
applied for what was due them. Chiefs of
d vis!on. who keep the time, told clerks
how much was due. and approved the APP
p!icat.ons for leaves. The clerks knew
rcthng of the extra hours until the order
came to deduct from pay. Had notice to
this effect been given every clerk would
have been careful not to take a moment
over time.
in excess been charged against the clerk in
the new year nothing would have been
thought of it: hut to take pay away from
man for no fault of his is felt to be an
injustice. Besides many clerk worked
extra hours to get his work up that the
government loses nothing whatever by the
few hours excess, and yet a man is fined
for 1t just the same.
1t Is felt to be a small business TO thus
take advantage Of people who have no re-
dress whatever. We must submit, though
* Is not our fault. 1t seems strange that
this should be sprung upon the employees
Row. when no notice had been given and
against all custom. Strange that it should
be preferred to take money. earned often
by hours of overwork, "a her than to have
i charged up and deducted from leave that
might be due in January.
1t is only agains, taking money from us
that We kick money due for coal. grocer
les, and oftentimes for clothes for children.

Unlucky Men.

"The unlucky men are all kin; they
all have certain qualities alike" says
An American Mother in The Ladies'
Home Journal. ''They have eyes keen
to look into the root Of things, but
which also dream dreams and see
visions: they have hot human blood,
they love or hate in no half way meas
ure. To each of them, too, comes at
times-no matter what the business or
pursuit may be by which they strive
to push their way among men and to
grow rich-a sudden disgust Of 1t,
heartfelt and real, contempt for the
work and for it's successes. They
dream Of something before them better
than money or office, and they try to
clutch at it. So they 60 through life
cropping for success with one hand and
for their dream with the other, and
they lose both. We must choose either
God or Mammon as master and keep
faith with him II We mean to succeed"

CONCERNING MAINE EDITORS.

w. o. Fuller, Jr., the editor Of the
Rockland rier-Gszatte, is about to
bring out book, containing his famous
Wigglesworth papers. These sketches
appeared some years since in one OF the
big New York papers, and were treat
to lovers of humor. When Fuller breaks
loose from the routine of everyday
work, and losses his name and kicks up
his heels and cavorts around in the past
ure, there is pretty sure to be some fun
worth reading about; and those who are
so situated as to see his "stuff'' when it
comes out, wish he would slip his halter
oftener than he does.
Editor Robbins of the Old Town En-
terprise has done just as he said he
would, and put his paper into small-page
form. 1t is now in the form OF four
column page, sixteen pages, bound with
wire staples and trimmed, making a very
neat and convenient paper. Brother
Robbins had sample page OF his pro-
posed form at the winter meeting of the
Press Association, but few Of those to
whom he showed it thought he would
have the temerity actually to carry out
out the innovation. As 1t is, he is the
first local weekly publisher in the state
to go to that length in meeting the call
for smaller pages. While the form has
its advantages, it would seem that a
much larger portion of the advantages
accure to the reader than to the publisher,
and the course of the Enterprise in its
revised form will be watched with in-
terest.
The report that the house Of Robert
NJ. Campbell, editor Of the Ellsworth
Enterprise, was burned Monday night,
the family barely escaping in their night
clothes, calls out more than perfunctory
expression Of sympathy from a portion
of the newspaper fraternity of the state,
who have reason to recall the house and
its hosts with especial gratitude. On
the afternoon of Aug. 6, 1899, portion
of the Maine Press Association excursion
party came back, hatless, water-soaked,
bedraggled and generally demoralized,
from the disaster at Mount Desert Ferry,
and were made at home by Mr.. and Mrs.
Campbell, until time for their trains,
some remaining there for the night. H.
deed, it was only by the most strenuous
effort that any of the party were able to
get away at all, and apparently, II any
of them had been obliged to stay there
week to recover from the shock OF the
days experience, it would only have
given the host and hostess so much the
more pleasure.
