plastic, plant and elastic as
the word Religion" in its literal sense
Disconnect it from the multiplicity of
multitudinous creeds and you will find
it as susceptible to vice and with the
same adhesive qualities, as it shows to
virtue. With one breath we praise it.
and with the next, we condemn; it all
depends upon how we apply its in
fiuence to our mind. If it suits us, we
acknowledge its being; if it does not
suit us, we twist, stretch, mould and
patch, until it does, or throw it from us
with very little compunction. 1t is
like the old darky at religious re-
vival, who got up and shouted:

heather vowing eternal vengeance
against the Christians and their dogmas.
while this same heathen's prayers are
full of the very spirit of godliness,
breathing the same anxiety for his

the happiness of his own flesh and

the pangs of hunger after shaving all

insufficient to keep body and soul to-
gether, may you be judged in a like
manner.
1t is truly astonishing-the methods
these dump" loungers devise in order
to exist. Here you will find dozens of
men who are experts in their legitimate
trade but who prefer to subsist on what
they may pick up here and there and
beg from others. And it is not always
the love of intoxicants that holds them
down; it is nothing but simon-pure
laziness. We have seen acrobatic feats
performed to the soft music of
battered piano that could scarcely be
duplicated in the best shows afoat;
we have heard voices which if used in
the proper place would bring their
owners both fame and fortune, but
whose value on the Bowery is but the
few coppers that may be collected from
the drinkers who form the audience.
Here comes an old man, known frorc
his resemblance to the late James G..
Blaine as the "Plumed Knight" The
pianist, you will observe, recognizes
him, for he starts one of the "Knight's"
favorite tunes as sort of triumphal
march. The knight" is an old man,
but is still of magnificent physique and
possesses head of such noble pro-
portions as might do honor to a great
statesman. He also possesses baritone
voice of the choicest quality, deep,
clear and strong. He has, judging
from his songs, been man of education
and refinement in years past, for he
sings only classical music and includes
such good old songs as "The Old
Sexton" Monarch of the Wood" "a
Warrior Bold" etc. He is not a
drinker and has been on the Bowery
many years. What his troubles were
or are, he alone knows, as he refuses
to talk on the subject.
Very different is that besotted thing
in guise of man known as the "chair
warmer" He would sell body and soul
for glass of the turpentine mixture.
He derives his name from the fact that
he occupies chair every night In lieu of
paying five cents for a bed, preferring
the drink which that sum will bring.
1t is his boast that he has not occupied
bed for ten years. In the summer he
seeks the soft side of park bench and
in winter chair in an all night saloon,
living on what he can beg. And it is
such specimens of depraved humanity
as this that makes charity exclaim:

disgrace to be rich," and saw the good
example he was setting them, some
gripped their money bags a little
tighter, others loosened up a little,
while few sought to emulate Mr..
Carnegie's example. Arbuckle, the
coffee king, has recently gone into
practical philanthropy; he has had
several boats fitted out to take people
who cannot afford to leave New York
during the heated term on all night
cruises down the coast, to get the
benefit of the cool ocean breezes.

New York. He proposes to live a
year among them so as to better under

with their wealth, and the compensation
they owe those who so materially
assisted them in the accumulation of
their millions

are following in his footsteps, and at
the end of another decade millionaires
will, l believe, be few and far between.

Good Roads and More Bridges
Wanted by the People.

Great interest has been mani
tested in the question of buildin Q
bridge i'll the upper part of
NoOdSboro District. Two places
have been mentioned for the
bridge site. That a bridge is
wanted i'll this section is very
manifest. Large lime kilnS are
located on the east side of the
Monocacy in the above district.
The farmers living in Creagers
town, MechanicStown and En-
mitsburg Districts would be
greatly benefited and the tacil-
tiles for hauling lime greatly en-
HANGED. Anything that tends
to benefit the taxpayers and res
ldents of a county tends towards
the general benefit of the people

are the things which county

public duty. OF course there
will always be questions as to

nothing can add so much to the

a New Road System Wanted


In the discussion of the queS-
ton of an improvement upon the
system now III vOuge i'll this
county for making and repairing
our public roads much interest is
manifested. Shall we continue
the present system which means
the outlay of thousands of dol
lars per annum to the taxpayers
without a proper return, or shall
the people, irrespective of party,
determine upon a more advanced
system which will insure us a
more faithful expenditure of the
peoples money and bring about
far better results. Now our road
supervisors are changed with
each new administration. regard
less of the fitness of the individ-
ual for the particular work en-.
trusted to his care. Every road
has supervisor, and each year the
same old mud holes are filled up.
Each year the supervisors work
out the twelve dollars per mile
with advantage to themselves.
Now, shall we have supervisor
for each district with a suitable
salary and with authority to look
after all roads in the district,
hire all hands and be responsible
for the work done? Shall we have
four supervisors one for each sec
ton of the county! Now is the
time to discuss this important
question. Let the people take it
in hand. All admit that the
present system does not meet
he requirements of the situation.
The same objections exist under
Democratic as well as Republi-
can rule. So let us seek to i'm
prove the situation and thus in
sure better roads in all parts of
Frederick County.
