Oakland and Deer Park.

The Deer Park correspondent of
the Baltimore SU1 has for several
months past made special mention in
his correspondence of matters per-
tanning to both Oakland and Deer
Park, thereby bringing to the atten-
ton of thousands the improvements
being made in both towns. The follow
ing correspondence appeared in the
SIM of Tuesday:
Deer Park and Oakland are getting
in trim for the summer season. The
re dents of Deer Park village have
been astir for some weeks, and when
the big Deer Park Hotel begins its
season, in June, the village will be
found in its best attire aud looking
pleasant. A long brick pavement on
the business street has been laid,
thanks to the Deer Park Village I'm
provement Society. The only condi-
ton made by the society was that the
Mayor of the town should arrange to
bear one third of the expenses.
Mr.. J. Swan Prick came up from
Baltimore, and Doctor and Mrs. j. X.
Mitchell came up from their Philadel-
phia home to be present at the spring
meeting of the Deer Park Village I'm
provement Society. School matters.
better schools and longer sessions and
the right of the people to have voice
in the selection of teachers were dis
cussed. The road machine purchas-
ed last year by the society will be
put to work at once, in advance of the
action of the regular county author
tiles. Mr.. w. E. Burwell. manager
of the Deer Park Hotel, will give at
tention to the six-mile drive between
Deer Park and Oakland.
Oakland the Garrett county seat,
is also doing it's best in the matter of
dressing up. Brick side walks, gran
tie curbing and vitrified brick street
pavement abound in every direction.
The people are so well pleased with
the work of the street contractor in
laying vitrified brick for street pave
ments in the business section that
the Town Council has been requested
to extend the work from Pennington
street to the corporate limits at the
north end of Second street. This re-
quest, it is thought, will be granted.

Assistance When Too Late.

A travelling man remarked to a Post
man to-day that it was strange the
hotels of the city did not carry a card
in the local papers. They are doing
a nice business and can afford to take
a space, but they do not seem to see
it that way. When some fake ad-
vertising man comes along with a
scheme they fall all over each other to
get in with him." The hotel people of
this city are not treating the news
papers fairly. They may need their as
sistance some day when it is to late.

grade, five miles west of Bloomington.

foremen of Piedmont, accompanied
by three special b. & O. policemen
as guards, were sent out to make the
necessary repairs. The striking Ital-
ians got wind of the affair and follow
ed the men from Piedmont and when
they set to work upon the rail the
foreigners made a rush for them.
One of the policemen was chased
across Savage river up into the noun
tain and the remaining two were
surrounded by the Italians and forced
to march with them back to Pied
mont.

a NOVELTY IN RAILROAD EDU-
CATION.

The noval project of running a pal
atial special train from Chicago to
New Orleans and return, a distance
OF nearly. 1000 miles, for the sole ben
eft of competitors was successfully
carried out by the officials of the I'LL
nois Central railroad last week Near
ly loo general passenger agents and
members of their families were the
guests of the Illinois Central during
the trip. everything, including must
cal entertainments In the observation
car, being provided by the company
Had anyone undertaken to purchase
the service and entertainment provid-
ed the cost could not have been far
from $4,000. The train was, so to
speak, an edition de luxe, the Pullman
company certifying that the new cars
furnished were the finest ever manu-
featured by them, and the engineers
and train crew were the most expert
in the employ of the railroad com
pany.
The novelty of the affair consists
largely in the fact that a few years
ago railroad companies slrove to keep
OF conditions along their lines of rail
road. Excluding the complimentary
feature, the main purpose of the Hi
nois Central expedition was to edu
cate competing lines regarding the
unexcelled transportation facilities
possessed by that company, and the
possibilities which lie in the develop
ment of the South. Although progress
sive men the general passenger
agents who were on the trip were
amazed to learn that the Illinois Cen
trail now practically has double
track system all the way, between Chi
cage and New Orleans and rock
ballasted roadbed with few grades and
curves, which is capable OF accommo-
dating an enormous volume of traffic.
They were also surprised at the phen-
omenal commercial industrial awaken
ing which the South is experiencing.
and they will spread the news regard
ing both facts for months to come
In doing this they will be advertis-
ing the South most effectively and
promoting travel there from every
quarter of the country. Naturally the
Illinois Central will get the benefit of
this, for, in short. it has recruited a
force OF 100 live advertising agents
from among the ranks of its active
competitors. Under railroad methods
in vogue prior to the era of 'commun-
ity of interests" such an undertaking
would have been hailed as suicidal.

CANADA is IN DREAD.
Alaskan Decision Leads to Fear Of Alb

OTTAWA. Ont, Oct. rs Antici-
pating the likelihood OF other bound
airy disputes arising in the northeast.
ern portion of the Dominion was
probably the chief consideration which
determined the Canadian government
to dispatch the expedition which left
Halifax for Hudson Bay last month
Its ostensible purpose is to explore,
but the deeper motive may be found
in the fact that the expedition will
also raise the Canadian flag over ter
rltory lying north of Hudson Bay and
Strait. which has been hitherto I'M
claimed or of doubtful ownership.
The decision in the Alaskan bound
airy case has stirred this country in
tensely from end to end, and has
heightened the popular determination
to resist, at all hazard, any further
encroachment by the United States
upon territorial rights to which Ca
nadians claim they are entitled in the
northern region,
In this connection, also. the propos-
ed Canadian expedition in search of
the north pole is now regarded with
greater popular favor than was pos
sible few days ago. and govern
ment grant of money has been provid-
ed, which will secure the speedy and
successful launching of the enterprise.
Both these steps. it is claimed, are
necessary and expedient If the indie
pendence of Canada is to be consery-
ed and her final absorption into the
American Union prevented.
AS indicating the prevailing senti-
ment throughout Canada today, the
speech oil Honorable Mr.. Poirier. a
French Canadian senator, delivered in
the senate since the Alaskan bound
AIRY decision was announced, may be
cited. 1t is significant that no dissent
TO his plain utterances came from the
government benches, but was received
with silent approval in all quarters.
Senator poirier declared that it was
now high time to call halt in the sur
render of Canadian territory to the
United States. He said that Ameri-
cans were now to the South. to the
West and to the Northwest, and asked

A MOTHER BIRDS DEVOTION.

From the Youths Companion.
On the Southbridge branch of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad the conductor has a coach
which he reserved for use when the
travel was heavy. At other times 1t
lies in the yards at the East Thomp-
son end OF the branch. On recent
occasion this car was attached to the
train to make the run to Southbridge,
a distance of eighteen miles.
During the six weeks that ii had
lain idle a robin had built her nest
upon the rods beneath the floor and
Matched four little ones. When the
train carried off her brood, the moth
err went along. too. flying over the
eight cen miles. and coming into South
bridge station minute behind the
train.
During the interval between runs,
/, hile the car lay with many others in
the yards, the mother singled 1t out,
and improved the time by feeding
and caring for her nestlings- On the
way the robin family made the trip
four times that day, covering a total
distance of sevenfy-two miles.
When the coach was once more side
tracked at East Thompson. the mother
took her place on the nest to warm
up her naked children, who had be-
come chilled from exposure to the

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Maybe IL women were not so busy
with their mouths in another way they
would really learn to smoke.
When a woman says a man treats
her brutally she means she cant make
him give in In an argument even by
crying.
When a woman brags about a
thoughtful child she has she means he
forgot to pull its tail out of the cat
that morning.
The man who got up the theory that
You can save money by being mar
ried must have been the same idiot
who started the fling machine idea.
Nothing makes a man feel so queer

FEW OF OUR BONDS ABROAD.

The annual report of the register of
the treasury makes the interesting
statement that only about $4,000, 900
of United States bonds are in the
hands of foreigners. While the
amount held by foreign banks and in
vestors is in excess of this. all but the
sum stated is deposited in this coun-
try. 1t appears that the largest hold
ers of our bonds reside in Cuba, where
more than one-half of the individual
owners live. France and England
come second and third, respectively.
in the list of foreign individual owners
of our national bonds, each country
reporting about 100000. German in
vestors hold only about SAL 900 worth
of our securities.
The report says of the fact that
practically the entire outstanding in
debtedness of the United States gov

$3.50 900 .000 is held here, that it is a
remarkable instance of the patriotic
faith of the American people in the fl
nancial stability of the government
1t would be strange indeed if there
was not such faith No other coun-
try surpasses the United States in re-
sources. while the policy that has pre-
vailed during the last forty years has
promoted the rapid development OF ma
tional wealth and enabled this nation
to attain higher standard of credit
than is enjoyed by any other coun-
try. There are national securities
