4 Surprised Magistrate.

His Honor, Perry Weimer, justice of
the peace, sat in his court house Friday
afternoon of last week Illuminating.
Business had been dull and there was IA
general want of ginger in the game of
justice.
At the darkest moment of his alb
straction Il woman startled him by a
quick step inward accompanied by the
announcement
II have brought you ii baby
Suiting the action to the word, she de-
posted an infant upon Il nearby table.
80, mo- reckon not, =" said the squire.
yes" said the woman, 1.-The States
attorney told me to leave it with you"
With that statement she fled out into
the rain, on to an electric car and away
to Cumberland.
After period of genuine embarrass-
ment the squire took the babe to his
home where tender hands were quickly
found to minister to its wants. In fact,
the little one fell into a large circle of
friends who sympathized with its
motherless condition.
The father, Charles Eisentrout, how
ever, stated that he would care for it,,
and Saturday afternoon a telegram from
the mother announced that she would
at once resume its care.
Mr.. and Mrs Eisentrout have not
lived happily together. About three
months ago they separated and the
mothers excuse for abandonment of
the little one, it is said, Is that it be-
came an impediment to employment
The end is not yet.

The art work on exhibition i'll the

drawn by Miss Bessie Casteel Gerlach,
visiting her grandmother, widow of the
late John Gerlach, on Frost avenue.
She is Frostburg girl. When about
twelve years old she removed with her
parents to Washington city, where her
talent attracted the attention of some
influential ladies, who secured her adj
mission to the CorcOran Art Gallery.
At that great institution she has OBJ

\ Fine Lecture.

FEoSTBuRG, Nh, August ,, 1902.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
At the last meeting of st. David's
Society Mr.. E. II. b. Pritchard favored
the Society with one of the ablest and
grandest lectures on the Welsh nation
that has ever been given in FrOstburg.
Everybody enjoyed the treat for very
nearly an hour, and the wish of all, as
voiced by each member, was-"keep on,
old boy"
Mr.. Pritchard is a great Welsh orator,
bard and singer, as will be testified by
his native countrymeu, most of whom
have heard him i'll poesy and song.
His aureOle iOcHS StdHdi, conferred upon
him as It singer by the judges of the
Eisteddfod, i'll Glamorganshire, Wales,
was ''Maesteg Nightengale."
We We're fully aware of his ripe
scholarship i'll the Cymric language, but
far from knowing he would make so
able an effort in English. He began
with Henry the Tudor, and from that age
ON he traced the nation from poverty to
royalty. He told of the decadence of
the ancient Britons until the SaxOns
we're no more in the mix up of national
tiles. He said the SaXons came to
Britain as soldiers, not emigrants with
families, and took their wives from the
women of the country, just Us the Nor
mans did i'll the conquest of Normandy,
aud afterwards in England.
| hope kind Providence will spare me
to hear Mr.. Pritchard give the history of
st, David, and that every member of the
Society-from Luke to South Cumbor-
land, will also he on hand to enjoy the
treat. DAVIS.

a remarkable degree with periods of
deficient rainfall, and it has further
been discovered that one inch of rain
fall per year. more or less, upon the
watershed of the lake makes diff
ference of 0.26 of a foot in the Mater
level. This ratio, applied to the pres
ent low water on a basis Of deficiency
in rainfall for the last fifteen years,
which amounts of 14.7 inches, seems
to account for less than half of the
present fall, so that other causes for
it must be found
In recent years it has been suggested
that the increase in irrigation of
adjacent lands by water taken from
the streams feeding the lake has
caused the lowering of its waters.
Large quantities of. Wa Ter are spread
upon farm lands by irrigation. partly
to be absorbed by vegetation, partly
to be evaporated and party to return
to the streams or lake in the form of
springs.
On account of the artificial contact
of streams feeding the lake the causes
of the present low water have become
much complicated, but careful gauge
ings of lake levels are being made, and
additional observations taken, to dis
cover the causec of its decline and to
learn, If possible, what part irrigation
plays in it.

bandits held up a gambling den at Co.

81 ,943 from the score of players and
the proprietors- Harvey Howard a
negro porter, was shot by the robbers.
The gambling house. which is operated
by a syndicate of sporting men, is at
the end of a trolley line leading from
Minneapolis. Each robber used a dark
handkerchief to shield the lower part
of his cOuntenance. There are two en-
frances to the pie re, and the bandits,
appearing Simult Aneously at either
door, ordered the inmates to hold up
their hands. The score Of players and
attendants were then aligned on one
side of the room, and while the bandit
leader Kept them covered with his re-
volver, his assistant rified the pockets
and tills. First David Bryce, the man
ager, was searched. He was relieved of
his revolver which was thrown out of
window. Then S165 was extracted
from his pockets. Ingram Flick, the
treasurer of the resort, yielded 81 sos.
Half dozen patrons of the place were
relieved of sums ranging from $40 TO
$40. Harvey Howard. the colored por-
ter, aroused from a nap by the shots,
bounded into the room to learn the
cause of the connections, and then
bounded out, but two bullets, one in
each leg, tumbled him into the street,
where he lay for half an hour before
some of the robbed men found him.
While the leader held the gamblers

MASONIC TEMPLE TAX
Z SCANDAL INVESTIGATED
Captain Williams Returns From His Place of Hiding
and Makes Clean Breast of It,
Seemingly There Were Many People Involved in the Scheme to
Rob Cook County, ILL.,

discussed with Gormley. Gormley
asked if there was enough money in the
treasury to pay the taxes and said II
not to borrow some"
williams then testified that he had
nothing to do with the drawing OF
the money for the $4,000 check. 1t
was given to him day or two after
the conversation detailed above, and
he paid it over to Luke Wheeler and
received the tax receipt in exchange.
The payment, he said, was made in his
Office in the Masonic temple. He was
not satisfied, he said, with Wheeler S
explanation of his ability to secure the
receipt for that amount, and Wheeler
had agreed TO bring one of the prin-
cipal officers of the county treasurer
office over. He appeared later with
a man whom he introduced as Mr..
Storm, who said he was authorized
to make the arrangement and that II
was done by rearranging the personal
property taxes.
Peter Storm, who is presumed to be
the man in question. was an employe
of the county treesurer's office at that
time, but has since committed sui
eide.
Williams declared that he received
none of the $4,000 himself.
How much was Wheeler to get?'
he was asked.
Nothing 1 supposed it was a mat
ter of legitimate business with him.
''Who was to get the $20,000?''
Mr.. Raymond, as / understood"
The witness testified that he believed
and still believes that the receipt Civ
en- him for the Masonic temple taxes
emanated from the county treasurer
Office.

SCION OF NOBLE STOCK LIFE SAVING SERVICE
Gratifying Results Shown by the
Report of the General
Superintendent.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The general
ice has rendered his report for the year
1902. 1t continues to show most graft
flying results of the work of this hu-
name organization
The number of disasters to vessels
within the scope Of the operations of
the service during the last year was
greater than ever before, with the ex-
ception of the wears 1898 and 1901. yet
the loss of life was very small. The
number of lives lost from documented
vessels-those of five tons burden or
over-was only nineteen, while six
We're lost from smaller craft-sailboats
rowboats, etc.-making a total of TWEEN
ty-five-a number far below the aver
age.
The amount of property imperilied
was. greatly in excess of that of any
previous year in the history of the
service owing to the unusual number
of large vessels involved. No less than
fifty-four vessels of over 1000 tons bur-
denim which number thirty-three
were SteamerS-Suffered disaster. The
loss of property, however, was compar-
atively light. The number of disasters
to documented vessels was SS5. On
board these vessels were 3, 424. persons,
of whom nineteen were lost. The estt-
mated value of the vessels was So, 253, :
$50, and that Of their cargoeS IS, 139, $50,
making the total value of property in
VOlved $14, 393, 001. Of this amount $2z,-
125, 220 was saved and 81, z67, $50 lost.
The number of vessels totally lost was
fifty-one. In addition to the foregoing
there were 361 casualties to undoeu-
mented craft-saiiboats rowboats, etc.
carrying 196 persons, six of whom
persisted. The value of property in
volved in these instances is estimated
at $174.120, of which $167,575 was saved
and $6.545 lost.
