Snow, snow, snow, on every side
The roads are almost drifted up, vet
the mail carrier has so far been able
to get through on horseback.
The entertainment given by the
teacher and scholars of this school
was quite success in every way.
The amount realized was $13.
Mr.. Griffith has been quite ill again
but is some better at this writing.
Frank Pysell is still lying very low
with typhoid fever.
The farmers are making good use
of the snow in hauling limestone,
crossties, coal, etc.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Calls. who
is spending a few days at his home

at the present time, and w. A. Smith
also has been confined TO the house
for several weeks with inflammation
of the eyes.
The Garrett County Telephone Co.

1t is with feelings of sadness that
we note the death of Claud Enlow
who died in the hospital at Parkers-
burg on January 9th. He had been
suffering for several weeks with ty-
phoid fever, but was considered much
better by his physician until few
days before his death when he sud
denly grew worse and the disease ter
minated in bronchial pneumonia,
which fastened his death. His father
was the only relative with him when
he died. 1t was quite shock to his
mother and the whole community as
he was much loved by all who knew
him and we have the blessed assur-
ance that our loss is his gain. The
funeral took place from Sang Run
church Sunday last. Flowers were
contributed by the Sang Run school,
the Hoyes school and Prof. Sine, of
Parkersburg. The parents have our
deepest sympathy.

MR.. GROUNDING.
He Has His Innings and Will Rule With
an Iron Hand.


He Has His Innings and Will Rule With
an Iron Hand.
Sunday was Grounding Day. Six
weeks of weather were in the scale.
Not one, though, who, in the early
hours of the day scanned the heavens
and earth thought by any chance the
weather prophet of even so widely
reputed a superstition could hope for
a glimpse of his shadow. There were
the same old clouds and the frigid
rain, with hail and snow mixed in,
and the slush that night had kindly
curtained for awhile-all speaking a
seemingly endless day of seemingly
endless storm. The snow followed
the rain and then vice versa until
we'll onto noon when the beautiful"
came down in sheets of driven white
ness, swirling hither and yon, piling
up in fantastic heaps, and bedeck-
ing our old world with mantle of pur-
ity. Now it would come from the
east, then from the south and again
from all points of the compass at
once, seemingly never still.
But the sun did shine and that was
the first surprise of the day, At 1:1S
O'Clock, for the space of not more
than ten seconds it broke through
the clouds, and with it the broad
reaches of snow fairly blazed garish
white as each crystal was transformed
into gem of binding light.
With the momentary uplift of the
clouds and sight of sunlight came the
wind with ever increasing force, and
probably grounding prediction has
never been realized with more re-
markable dispatch. The gale howled
over the hills, swept through the
valleys took the wires for harp of
unnumbered strings, and ''Tara's
halls meier heard the like; it beat
the sleet from housetops and timber,
the falling crystals reminding one of
a shower of diamonds.
Here and there slight damage was
done to telephone and telegraph
wires. Many of the roads were COM
pletely blocked, the snow in some
places piling up five, ten and fifteen
feet. The mercury fell to four de-
grees below zero during Sunday
night. The first day and first night
of grounding weather, 1902, thus
ended.

afternoon.
Married, at the German Lutheran
parsonage, by Rev. Bleiverneicht, on
Saturday evening, Feb. list, Miss Eta
Georg, of this place, and Mr.. McClel-
Ian, of Grantsville.
The proverbial grounding had two
slight opportunities to see his shadow
on Sunday if he was bold enough to
venture out in the terrific blizzard.
Mr.. and Mrs Lucian Frazee and lit
tie daughter, of Buffalo Run, were
the guests of William Frazee and fam
lily on Saturday night and part of
Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Spiker while
enroute to Blooming Rose last Satur-
day had the real pleasure of spill
out" to the great satisfaction of few
spectators. No damage was done,
however.
Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Gnagey had
the misfortune of breaking their
sleigh last Sunday while on their way
to attend church in the Flatwoods

LARGER QUARTERS.
The Residence of Mr.. James c, Ped
dicord Purchased By DR..
II. w. McComas.
IT WILL Be USED FOR A SANITARIUN
which Has Outsrown the Present Building
and VIII Take Possession of the Prop
erty ShOrtly-The House An Ideal One
For the Purpose.

Some days ago DR.. Henry w. Me
Comas purchased Mr.. James G. Ped
dlcord's residence on Second street
for the purpose of utilizing the same
as a Sanitarium, the quarters atpres
ent occupied by the doctor and his
assistants being wholly inadequate
Tor the growing demands of the in
stitutlon.
AS soon as possession is acquired
by DIR. McComas some alterations will
be made and heating plant of suf-
tlclent capacity will be installed to
thoroughly heat the building in its
entirety. Some additions in the way
of porches will be added which will
make the building an ideal one for
the purpose for which it is intended.
The location is all that can be de-
sired, being in a quiet neighborhood
and somewhat isolated from other
structures.
1t is thought that this start in the
way of hospital will be only the en-
tering wedge to the building of an
institution which in a short time will
become known throughout the length
and breadth of the country.

JOHNS HOPKINS CELEBRATION
OF the First Quarter-Centennial of the
Founding of the Institution.

OF the First ouarter-Centennial of the
Founding of the Institution.
BALTIMORE, FEBRUARY, 4, 1902.
To the Editor of The Republican.
DEAR SIR:-The plans for the cele
bration of the first quarter-centennial
of the Johns Hopkins University are
now nearing completion. AS the eel
ebration approaches it seems both
desirable and appropriate that it's
general nature and meaning should
be clear to all Marylanders. In this
opinion, and the hope that you share
it with us, we make so bold as to ask
your cooperation. We send you with
this note the names of those residents
of your county-which have not yet
been published-who have been in
vited to assist at the centennial exer-
cises, together with slight explana-
ton of the exercises themselves. If
you find the copy" or any part of it
available for your use we should re-
gard it favor if you would give it
publicity in your paper.
Very cordially yours,
MARSHALL BULLARD.
The copy" above referred to fol-
lows

rett county have been invited or will
be invited to the celebration of the

Less Swearing over the Phone.

mo, there isn't nearly so much
swearing over the phone as there
used to be" said girl recently in the
telephone exchange. 1--WE been at
central now for good many years
more years than | like to think
about sometimes-and | am in posi-
ton to speak with authority of this
apparent change for the better in pub
lie morals. don't think it is because
men are less addicted to profanity,
but because they are getting used to
the phone and are more patient. 1t
used to be that business men would
brook no delay, and would not under
stand why they shouldn't be treated
with the utmost consideration. Then
they would swear. Now they are ed
ucated up to the thing and are more
inclined to be patient"

in the next election as they have done
before. To see their behavior here
now one would never imagine that
they had ever been turned out of the
State House by an indignant constit-
uency, but had maintained their grip
ever since they first took possession
a generation ago. Those well-mean-
ing citizens who imagined that the
ring was destroyed by the defeat of
1895 and helped defeat Gov. Lowndes
and the Republican ticket two years
ago, should come down here and see
what is going on. If they thought
the defeat had reformed the Demo
cratic party they were sadly mis-
taken, for if there is any reformed
Democracy in the State it has but
scant representation at Annapolis
this session and at the last session it
had none at all. 1t is not meant to
be inferred from what is here said
that any great proportion of the Dem
ocratic members personally are any
thing but honest men. Far from it.
What is meant is that the great ma
jority, honest and upright though
they may be as individuals aud as
citizens, are so bound up with the
ring that they are led to do many
things as legislators that as citizens
in the private affairs of life they would
spurn with contempt and indigna-
ton. 1t is one of the anomalies of
our system of politics that men fire.
quently will do things in an official
capacity that no amount of money
would hire them to do as private cit
liens, and this peculiar characteristic
of p oliticians is especially noticeable
session after session among the Dem
ocratic members of both Houses at
Annapolis.
The representatives of Western
Maryland in both Houses this year
size up better than usual and are tax
ing more prominent part in affairs
here than has been the case for sew
eral years. Senator Ravenscroft, al
though young man, is really the
father of the Senate, so far as length of
service is concerned in that body, and
his affable and agreeable manners
have rendered him very popular with
members of both parties. Mr.. Finzel
is one of the most popular men in the
House and is especially liked by
Speaker Mitchell, who served with
him in the last session. Mr.. Ashby is
making many friends on all sides and
before the close of the session bids
fair to be one of the most popular
members here.
The following local bills have been
introduced
By Mr.. Ashby.-An act to prohibit
the sale of spirituous or fermented
liquors or lager beer in all that part
of Election District No. IA outside of
the corporate limits of Oakland.
By Mr.. Finzel.-An act to appro-
pirate the sum of 81 ,952.56 out of the
public school funds to reimburse
Garrett county for an instalment OF
the State school tax withheld from
said county in the year 1901.

"The laws ought to make it more
clear what is meant by contract labor.
The line that we draw. in the absence
of definite phraseology, is something
like this: If mans friends, relatives,
or acquaintanc3s send over Tor him to
come OF this country, saying that
he can get employment here, and he
comes in pursuance of that indefinite
arrangement, We Go not exclude him:
but if the} write to him. We have a
job for you at such {. place, on the
railroa S or in the mines, at SO much
day. the immigration Office holds that
if he Genes by virtue of that invitation
it is a contract and he cannot be ad-
mitted.
Chinese complications, like the poor
are al yays with US. Probably mote
Chinese now try to get IN over the
Canadian lire than over the Mexican.
1t is easier for them 10 land at Eancou-
yer and to go eastward over the Can
adian Pacific. The trouble on the Me-
xican line has been very much lessen
ed since we stopped the Chinese from
going through in transit. They former
ly came here in large numbers, to go
through to Mexico, giving a. bond
which was cancelled when they got into
a Mexican port; once in that country,
many of them would take measures to
get back into the United States. We
have practically stopped this transit
business, and SO we have c'lt off one
large source of supply of those who try
to evade Cur laws.
| "Tba immigration service is now in
splendid condition. The new Commits
sioner is a hard worker, and is enforc-
ing the laws; the same is true Of
| the man at New York. Things are
running smoothly, and the conduct of
the service is efficient"

The Need Of Definiteness In The

II wish our immigration laws would

the Treasury Taylor several days ago
in discussing the enforcement OF laws
~hich fall !under his branch Of the

d .lder contract. The middle course

at indefinite is often rather embarr-
assing.
The money the immigrant has with
him we do not regard as OF much con-
sequence, whether it is S. CT $40 Or
500. Unless he gets work, or has
some friends he may become a public
charge. Formerly sort of 1ule prevail
ed that each one must have $50; but we
do not insist on that now. We should
regard a young. robust man, having
only S., as much less likely 10 becone
a public charge than an elderly man
or one in poor health, With twenty
times that amount. The state of the
labor market no is such that any
young strong man can get employment
