Flatte.ers OF Royalty.

One of the difficulties OF royalties
tendency to selfishness which has
been considered one Of the weaknesses
of tho royal caste-is that they so sci
dom hear the truth. Ono could give
many examples Of this in even the
lighter affairs Of life. For instance,
when Louis XIV. was once playing at
backgammon. a favorite game with
him, a dispute arose as to doubtful
throw of the monarch. The courtiers
appealed to By the King, said nothing
not daring to give the verdict
against the king. not caring to tell too
palpablc a lie The Comte de Gram
mont entered at this awkward nc
ment and the king asked him to decide
the matter. The witty courtier replied
without a moment hesitation: Your
majesty IS in the wrong" "Flow,
said Louis, "can you decide before
you know the question:" because,
replied the count, had there been
any doubt, all these gentlemen would
have given 1t iE favor of your majes-
ty."
l heard a similar story with regard
10 the late Car Of Russia. He was
one night playing game of whist at
Homburg, and the present king, then,
of course, Prince of Wales, and sever
al Of his friends were Of the party.
Among these friends was Sir James
Macintosh, a well-known bon yivant
OF the eighties and nineties. Sir
James was one of those blunt down
right, rouah-spckon Scotchmen who
didn't krCw tEar of God or man. In
the midst of tho game Sir James
called out to the car, You've re-
vohed" Everybody's blood ran cold.
The Prince of Wales, have been tcld,
kicked the Scotchman under the ta-
Die, and the car, blushing and con
fused, exclaimed in bewilderment, RE
1oked! Why l never did such thing
in my life!" But Sir James persist
cd, ard the monarch was proved to be
in the wrong: whereupon Sir James
replied to the observation Of cZar: Il
daresay you've often revoked, your
majesty, but this is the first time you
we're ever told SON. A. P.

Let IL Stand.

There was hog pen case in court this
week.
Not town case either, but from near
neighbors in the country, one complain
ing that his fish-pond was polluted by
the other fellow trying to achieve the
impossibility of keeping his pen clean.
The complainant got $40 damages.
Had the sum been $1,000 the ""t""fe
cordjoIr of neighborship would not have
been more strenuOusly busted.
Which goes to demonstrate that meas
ures remedial of nuisances should not be
left to injured neighbors but should be
as broadly prohibited and correctihle by
law as are thievery and worse transgres-
sions of human rights.
In the interest therefore of good neigh
borship as we'll as of municipal decency,
gentlemen of the Council, let the "O"di-
nance Prohibiting Hog-Pens Within the
Corporate Limits" stand.

Electric Railway.

The county commissioners awarded
the franchise for the new road from
Luke to McCoole, this county, to Messrs
r. AMMAN and Marx Wineland, of this
place; William Atkinson and Hugh
Scott, of Homecoming and John Mackie,
of Westernport, work to be begun with

A mortgage in sum of Sl50,00O has
been given by the Cumberland Electric
Railroad Company to secure bonds for
extensive Improvements to the electric
line The improvements will enable
cars to run through from Westernport
to Baltimore street, Cumberland, with
out change, provided the loop" is ex-
tended in Frostburg. Without the
latter, however, Frostburg, will count
only as "a point to"chrd ON our line, "
and as such the touch should take
place only at the corporate limits. If
Council will have the spine to make this
the utimotam, both the company and
people will soon get on terms good
enough to secure the "loop."

BreYitteS,

The tiremen have secured new noz-
zle which, III itself, is considerable fire
eXtinguisher. The nozzleman, by ex-
pert manipulation of several devices un-
der his hands can spray in front, on the
side, above and behind him. He can
put out fire in all directions and make
himself and comrades immune to heat
and flame. Though not large, it is a
big addition to the force and efficacy of
the equipment, and one of which the
firemen are justly proud.

A most impressive address was de-
livered to large and highly apprecia.
tive audience of both ladies and gentle
men at the regular Sunday afternoon
meeting last by +. G. Hendrickson, an
attorney at-law of Cumberland. Mr..
Hendrickson is universal favorite at
these meetings, as his appearance at
this time was i'll response to the general
demand. His line of modern thought
delivered in such forccful, earnest,
eloquent manner brought to him many
hearty congratulations at the close. He
has been urged to come again. Such
talks leave il lasting impression.
Tomorrow (Sunday) at the usual
afternoon hour, 81, O'Clock, the Men S

sustains the reputation of being strong
talker. You are assured of delight

Election Echoes.

Silas Duggan says he never auth
Orized the use of his name on the "Citi-
zens Ticket" and that he not only
sought no votes, but asked friends who
came to him not to throw their votes
away on him.
Gentlemen, after allowing your party
Committee to euchrc you out of your OPP
portunity to put up a "CitiZens Ticket,
it is too late for 90" to charge the peo-
pie, including the stay-at homes, or stay
at-works, with showing bad faith to-
ward their own interests. You named
"pdrtg' as trump, your committee beat
you and you tried to accomplish i'll one
evening job that should have been ma
tured by months study.
Citizens, hold your own primary here
after at least week before the election
and compel your party to do the en-
dorsing, if endorsing be IA good policy.
The JOURNAL suggested this course
several weeks ago. Had it been adopted,
and that with Il deliberatiOn due to its
importance, different result, in part at
least, would stand to your credit.
Whether the hog open be restored or
not, the JOURNAL does not now care. If
the new Council considers the hog pen
public or even private improvement it
is within its power to attempt to re-es-
tablsh it,
But the motion to repeal the existing
Ordinance should be coupled with an
order that all hog-pens shall be built in
front yards. If they are improvements,
don't allow them to be hidden, but put
them where summer visitors can see
and smell. A dozen distributed along
and near by the electric railway line, es-
pecially if extended into 1.-The loop" will
provide free raw material for fragrant
shifts to people riding hro"gh town.
The national State, and even the cOun-
ty committee may not be willing to adj
NIT that the hog pen Renaissance III
Frostburg is republican party meas
ure, but the news ought to pc carried to
them somehow that, though sound on
protection" in every other direction,
Frostburg is alive with, or is threatened
with the rankest free trade in hog-pens.

For the information of many unaware
or forgetful of the magnitude of the So
ciety's work the following aggregates of
collections and corresponding invest

given, beginning with IL total in 1892 of

All of this money has gone through
investment by the Society from time to
time, returning i'll & per- rent. dividends
to all ckholders-borrowers as we'll as
lenders, every year except 1899 and 1902,
when 81, was the rate.
Beginning with profits of 81 ,031 40 and
$63l.17 distributed in 1892, the table of
grand aggregates is as follows:

The difference between the profits, di-

of operation, or an average of $SS7.92 a

That is, while nearly IL per cent. per
dHnum of the profits has been taken for
expense of operation, ! pei cent. per

OF the sum of 81, 1870 distributed to
stockholders $3, 033. 10 has been paid in
cash, the remaining 81, l56.2l going back

Much praise-and deseryedly much
has been bestowed upon Robert Shriver,
of Cumberland, for his long, tireless, at

ing of great wrong in the distribution
of the State school fund.
Mr.. Shriver is doubtless ii partisan,
like everybody else in more or less de
gree, but it is refreshing to see that he
is one of "a precious few busy men who
can stop long enough and spend little
of his own money to achieve il jobiic
good.

the same end along the devious paths of
party interest and prestige, but too sell

More Paving.

\ movement is on foot to pave Broad
way from Union to Loo streets-a job
that will not be so costly as the Union
street improvement. Only one obstacle
in the way-the consent of all the abut-

relegated to the past, other streets might
have had to wait longer, but the burden
would have been more evenly dis
