Revolutionary War with great credit
The famous Nemacolin Indian trail
used by Braddock, followed by the
Cumberland National Road runs
through Garrett county. Washing
ton often passed over it and built sew
eral forts on or near this road. Col.
Cresap often hunted, camped and had
many engagements with the Indians
in this region so rich in song and
story.
Paul Hoye, the fountain of this ia
nous family, so prominent in the his
tory of Western Maryland was long
resident of our county. He was per-
haps the largest land owner. His de-
cendents still possess some of the
finest farms in The county.
The first iron furnace in Western
Maryland was built nearly a century
ago on Bear Greek near FriendsvilIe
by Col. Oilphant of Uniontown,
Pa, for many years producing first
class charcoal iron. We could recall
many other important historical
events which would be well worth
writing up, but we are confident old
err end better informed men are
among us who should record their
recollections and aid in compiling
history.
Jacob Brown, Esq. the venerable
dean of the Allegany Bar, has utilized
much of this material in his Book of
"reminiscences, most valuable and
entertaining record. 1t is to be hop
ed he will long continue to contribute
his vast and varied recollections of
the early history of Garrett county.
Great, indeed, is Garrett.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
A Correspondent Urges the Consolidation |
of Rural Schools.

Correspondent Urges the Consolidation
of Rural Schools.
To the Editor of The Republican.
| was glad to note you not only
published but gave prominence to the
topic before the School Commission
ers Convention, consolidation of
Rural Schools" Newspapers should
remember they are an educational
force, and it is well to keep such mat
tiers before the public. Why indeed,
should there be so many poor schools.
No one who has ever had the advant-
age of graded schools would want to
send their children to the roadside
school where pupils of all grades are
under one teacher.
There is better discipline, better in
truction, more incentive to learn in
the graded schools. What matters
the expense. Any one having chill
dren should be willing to have few
cents added to their tax rate, and
those not sending children to school
should remember the good of the com
munity is sought and be willing to
contribute. The schools should be
and are moral force. Teachers are
moulding character. But let US not
forget that back of the teachers is the
home training. Let children have a
good time, but teach them obedience
and respect for the rights of others.
Good mothers and good teachers is
what we want.
l hope time will soon come when we
shall see the school stage gather in
the big and little to bring to the grad
ed school. There will not then be
such cry about the advantage of
city schools. We will have the same
advantage at home.

The WhaIe-The HymenaI AItar-Deacon
Brown,

The whaIe-The Hymenal AItar-Deacon
Brown.
From the Parsons Advocate.
During the past summer and fall
elections the people of Preston county
and Bald Knob have been wondering
why the Deacon failed to take any
interest in politics or any matters
that pertained to this old world of
ours. In the forepart of the summer
the Deacon bad been reading up on
Scripture and ran across the story of
Jonah and the whale. This interested
him, as he never knew before that the
whale story was in the Bible. So one
day he hiked over to Morgantown to
get some further information when he
suddenly ran across big dead whale
on exhibition there. AT first he was
scared. He turned fourteen colors in
two minutes and started down the
pike for Kingwood, but he was soon
headed off and brought back, his san
ity established and was again turned
loose. By the use of liberal supply
Of Dutch courage he soon ventured
up to where the dead whale was. He
tried to put his foot into the whales
mouth but could not do it. He turned
away in disgust and swore he did not
believe that Jonah swallowed the
whale or that whale swallowed Jonah.
He went back to Kingwood, but
didn't take interest in anything
worldly. He used patent editorials
and let the devils around his office
smoke plug tobacco and cuss, and
put in most of his time digging gin
seng, potatoes, beets, burying cab
bage, buying buckwheat flour for the
winter, and in fact has meyer been
right since the steam thresher went
through Kingwood He let the ArguS
run down like old man Bowser He has
contracted love microbe which took
hold of him harder than vaccination
ON a horned toad. The Deacon had
been counting for the last As years
and in consequence thereof had be-
come very fickle-in other words he
was regarded as a male fiirt. But the
Deacon is nothing if not resourceful,
so he set his love charm or indicator
to work and the needle pointed to-
wards Morgantown. So he took his
little haversack and seng hoe and
hiked it through to Morgantown
around the heads of the river hOllows,
getting enough seng to pay expenses.
He then hied away to Cumberland
with his lady loYe and was quietly
married. The next obstacle in the
Deacon's way was how to get back to
Kingwood and fool the boys. So he
left his bride in Cumberland and
came across by 81 Summers, the vet
eran snake hunter of the Monongalia,
and purchased pint of rattle snake
oil for his rheumatism and sneaked
into Kingwood between two suns.
But the Deacon could not work the
Dr. Jeykle and Mr.. Hyde business to
any great extent on the Kingwoodites,
even if they are one hundred and fifty
years behind the times. The PARKWAY
Moses look in the Deacon's face
would not down. The natives were
onto him and it cost him good
round sum to square it with the
boys.
Well here it is to you, Deacon and
your bride. You are bound in chains
that won't part asunder or bust by
thunder. May the blessings of life
follow you and in the end may you
reach the pearly gates.

to the physicians that her condition
was critical. She incurred three inch
scalp wound, but there was no ev-
idence of conclusion or fracture of the
skull, and this injury gave her medi-
cal attendants no cause for apprehen-
sion, but the fact that her limbs were
paralyzed from the region of the hips
down and susceptible to no sensation
or motion, suggested a hurt of far
more serious type, an injury to the
spine and probable fracture of a YER
zebra. A more careful examination at
the McComas sanitarium developed
the dread truth of this prognosis and
hence the worst is to be anticipated.
Mr.. Miller is at the bedside of
his wife, he having arrived here yes
terday afternoon on a freight train
from Cumberland, there being no
other mode of transportation until

Miss Ethel Pope, who occupied the
state room in the "Parthia'' with her
sister, was hurled bodily through the
double window of the car and fell
head formOst against log, at a dis
lance of Is feet. Even after such
an experience the young lady did rot
wholly lose consciousness but was in
rather daZed condition. As evil
dence of the force with which her
head came in contact with the log
strans of her hair and coagulated
blood could be plainly seen. Bloody
footprints where she had wandered
around in the snow were also plainly
evident.
Miss Corine Pope was thrown from
her berth into the passageway of the
car and from thence into the toilet
room where she was struck in the
chest by one of the porcelain basins
which had been torn from the fasten-
ings. Her injuries are painful but
not serious.
By the time the injured had been
transferred to the hospital in Oakland
several surgeons arrived here from
Cumberland, having been sent by the
railroad officials, but their services
were not required, the patients hav-
ing been cared for by our home ply
sicians.
The wonderful nerve displayed by
Miss Miller and the Misses Pope in
the trying ordeal which they were
compelled to pass through is remark
able and this morning they are rest
ing very comfortably although quite
sore and stiff.
One looking at the cars shortly af-
ter the wreck and noting the condi-
ton of the interior is at a loss to
know how any of the passengers es-
capped with their lives. Not one arti-
Gle of the furniture was in it's place.
Every door was torn from its hinges
and thousands of pieces of glass
strewed the cars from end to end.
The scene of yesterdays accident
is but short distance removed from
that of another, some four years ago
in which a Pullman overturned and
Gen. Joseph Fullerton, a prominent
and wealthy banker of st. Louis, lost
his life in the stream which skirts the
track in that vicinity. The body of
Gen. Fullerton was not recovered for
several weeks after the wreck, al
though a large searching party
closely scrutinized the stream for
miles.

The Berry Wall"

Discussing the personal appearance
of the several Maryland members of
Congress the Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Meas had the
following to say in his paper Tues
day:
In the matter of clothes, Represen-
tative Pearre Is far ahead of the other
Maryland representatives. He is the
Berry Wall of the delegation in point
of sartorial neatness, although Con
gresham Wachter is closely pressing
him for honors. Mr.. Mudd usually
dresses in black, and disavows any as
piration looking to the sartorial leader
ship ofthe delegation. My constitu-
ents know that am not flower man,
said Mr.. Mudd to a Marylander who
asked him to explain why his constit-
ueuts forgot to send him boquets on
the opening days of Congress. Mr..
Jackson pays more attention to the
parting of his hair than he does to the
cut of his clothes, while Mr.. Blake
news tastes incline to the accumula-
ton of a choice and varied assortment
of necktieS.n

MRS. GRANT IS DEAD.
Widow of SOIdier-President Succumbs to
Illness in Washington.

Widow of SOldier-President Succumbs to
Illness in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 15-Mrs. Julia
Dent Grant, widow of Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant, died at Ills last night at her
residence in this city, 2111 Q street,
northwest. Mrs. Grant was conscious
until a few minutes before death. and
passed away very peacefully. Mrs.
Sartoris and Miss Rosemary Sartoris,
the daughter and granddaughter of
Mrs. Grant; DR.. Bishop, and two
trained nurses were present when the
end came.
Mrs. Grant rested very well through
out yesterday and was conscious most
of the time. Although her physicians
thought that death was inevitable in
a few days, there was no reason to be-
lieve that the end would come last
nj ght. For many days she had been in
a critical condition. She was suffering
with Bright's disease and vaivular
heart trouble, which were aggravated
by acute bronchitis.
kilograms were received at the
Grant home last night announcing
that Mrs. Grants two sons Jesse and
Ulysses SimpOn, Jr., are on their way
to Washington from San Diego, Cal.
Gen. Frederick Dent Grant was not at
his headquarters in Fort Houston,
Tex, when a dispatch was sent there
telling him of his mothers serious
illness. A dispatch was sent to Mrs.
Sartoris, stating that the message had
been forwarded to Gen. Grant, but it
probably has not reached him as no
reply had been received from him up
to an early hour this morning. Until
word is received from Gen. Grant, the
date of the funeral will not be fixed
Mrs. Grant will be buried beside her
husband in the tomb at Riverside
Park, New York, but no details of the
funeral have been arranged as yet.
Mrs. Julia Dent Grant was born in
st. Louis in 1926 and was the daugh-
ter of Frederick and Ellen Wrenshall
Dent. Her father was a son of Capt.
g gorge Dent, who led the forlorn hope
at Fort Montgomery when it was
stormed by Mad Anthony" Wayne.
During the war Mrs. Grant visited
her husband frequently. She was with
him at City Point, during much of the
winter of 1896, and accompanied
him to Washington when he returned
there with his victorious army. She
lived here with her husband and
family much of the time after the
close of the war and saw her husband
twice inaugurated President of the
United States. She accompanied him
on his famous journey around the
world in 1877.
AS mistress of the White House.
Mrs. Grant endeared herself to every
one who knew her. She gave literally
to all the charitable institutions of
the city, and was layish in her gifts to
| the poor of Washington.
