Letter to E. E. Sollars.

Dear Sir: Milk, so much a quart
part water. Is it milk? How much
satisfaction will it give? How much
nourishment? How many customers
will it win?
Mixed paint is the same as watered
milk. 1t seems to be chea , but it
isn't. Devoe lead and zine is rich
milk it's creamy milk: seems to be
costly, but isn't. Covers more square
feet to the gallon: covers it better;
makes labor go further; lasts more
years than any mixed paint lasts
more years than lead and oil.
The cheapest paint in the world,
made by the oldest concern in Ameri-
ca-149 years old.
Mr.. j. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa, writes:
had always used 40 gallons of lead
and oil for my house; this summer
bought 40 gallons of Devoe Lead and
Zinc for the same house and had 10
gallons left.
Yours truly,
f. W. DEvOE Il Co.,

Rrick Now Being Laid Along Second
Street Between Centre and
Pennington.

Yesterday afternoon Street Contrac
tor Kennedy and force of men COM
menced laying brick on the block be-
tween Centre and Pennington streets.
This section of the work will be com
pleted by this evening or tomorrow
when the work of grading Oak street
on the block between Third and
Fourth street will be commenced.
Brick will also be laid along this
square as soon as the ground is made
ready.
Although the matter has not been
definitely decided by the Council it is
thought that the block from Pen
nington to the corporate limits at the
north end of Second street will be
graded and curbing set so that the
property owners may be thus enabled
TO lay brick sidewalks upon an estab-
lished grade. The majority of the
house owners on this block are eN-
tremely anxious to make permanent
improvements to their properties in
this respect.

TWO MILLS BURNED.
Those of c. $. May near Swanton, and John
ThayeI's near ThayeryiIIe.

Thayer's near ThayeryiIle.
During the terrific wind storm
which prevailed in all sections of
Garrett county last Thursday even
ing two manufacturing plants were
destroyed by fire they being the saw
mill of Chas. s. May. near Swanton
and the shingle mill of John O. Thayer
situated some distance from Thayer-
vile on the slope of Meadow Noun
tain. Two dwellings were also con
sumed at the latter mill, both of
them occupied by employees of Mr..
Thayer.
Mr.. Mays mill was set on fire by
sparks being carried into it by the
wind from the burning slabs. The
mill was practically new and gave
employment to a number of men.
The loss will be about $500 with no
insurance. The fire did not enter
the lumber yard as the wind carried
it in the opposite direction otherwise
the loss would have been much great
er. Mr.. May contracted yesterday
for another mill to replace the one
burned.
The fire at Mr.. Thayer's mill occur
red in practically the same manner
as that which consumed the May mill
1t was exclusively a single outfit.
Two houses which were located near
the mill site caught from the flames
and were entirely consumed along
with the household effects of the ten
ants, they being employees of Mr..
Thayer's. The loss will figure up to
thousand dollars with no insurance.

THE TEACHERS LANTERN
The inveterate and historical tena-
ciousness to life of an ecclesiastical
establishment has striking illustra-
ton in this instance. 1t is not of their
nature.tO admit themselves to be tran
STORY. They are not willing to dim
inish that others may increase. The
synagogue would not give place to
the Church.
That there are monetary considera-
tions unconfessed, but none the less
real, may be readily believed. 1t is
still a question of "loaves and fish
es''-although the admission NAV
not be quite so frank as that of the
Ephesian silversmiths, by this craft
we get our wealth"
This is not, however, to denv the
absolute and disinterested devotion
of many who are attached to ecclesias-
tical establishments of every descrip-
ton.
The disturbed and unsafe condition
of Palestine at this time can hardly be
exaggerated. A spark would be
enough to set it on fire. Human blood
had already flowed with that of the
beasts designed for sacrifice-a high
priest and many worshipers had been
slain. Ventidius and the Egyptian
zealot had played their tragic parts.
Under all the conditions the prompt
and tactful course of Claudius Lysias
is to be admired. He was justified in
parting with half of his garrison as he
did to give his prisoner safe conduct.
Forty conspirators were thirty-seven
too many! The odiousness of Paul is
evidenced by the number who were
willing to stake their lives for his de-
struction; but the very size of the
body made the keeping of the secret
impossible, and so defeated the plot.
Natural affection shines like a jewel
in this narrative. Paul's sis Ter loved
him as her brother. There is no cyl
dence she was Christian. The pre-
sumption is rather to the contrary.
Had she been a Christian it is impro-
bable she would have heard of theplot
1t is likely she took the initiative in
the rescue of her brother, for from

mature boy.
Here is an example of what a boy
can do. The obedience, courage, and
modesty of Paul's nephew in this try
ing ordeal is admirable His very
life was in jeopardy. Yet he did his
part faithfully and without faltering.
Lysias's kindness makes him an at
tractive study. He was not pulled
up by power. He could take boy
by the hand, and help him by the
sympathetic touch unload dreadful
secret. 1t was the Christian act of
heather.
The gunpowder plot and the as
sination of Henry " of France bea T.
some analogy to the conspiracy
against Paul.

Nominee for Mayor.

( iOi
BALTIMORE, May 6.-Preparations
for contrasting the apparent election
of Robert NJ. Mclean as Mayor OF
Baltimore were begun by the Repub-
licanileaders today
1t is understood that a committee
of 25.leading Republicans will take
charge of the contest and that this
committee will guarantee all expenses,
offer rewards for convictions for cleo
ton offenses and superintend the
contest
Reports from the Republican man
ayers in wards and precincts indi-
Gated that an opening of the election
boxes would show a plurality Of at
least 1000 for Wachter.
Leading counsel have already been
engaged by the Republicans, and the
contest will promptly take shape. 1t
is probable that the contest will be in
the form of an injunction to restrain
the election supervisors from declar-
ing Mr.. Mclean as prima tacie
elected
With three precincts still to be
heard from the unofficial returns give
Mclean a plurality of SO. The vote
for the 305 precincts is:
