of sturdy stock on both sides, agricul-

as well as integrity of his lineage. His
mothers family We're landed people,
from whom to him and his generation
of relatives the development of recent
years brought wealth. In his care and
under the <tim"i"s of his diligence these
resources multiplied in value.
Among his neighbors he was bust
ness friend and oracle. His Judgment
was often sought aud probably no man
ever lost cent who had followed his
advice.
MIR. Frost was Il member of the NJ. +.
Church many years. liberal. cheerful
giver to its support and il faithful COM
municant.

\ Small Matter.

The only complaint current against
Frostburg's water supply is-the pres
sure is too great.
Something wrong with the regula-
tor" say some.
That is a comparatively small matter.
Until Council does its duty by the
reservoir on this side the water may not
be as clean in flush periods of the year
as it should be.
But if the people are going to allow
hog-pens to be re-established, this will
make no difference.
Any sort of water will do to clean
hog hens.

4 Fine Game.

Friday of last week marked the open
ing of the basket ball season at the State
Normal School, and the day will long be
remembered by those who attended.
The magnitude of the crowd that
gathered in the Assembly Hall reached
beyond the expectations of the Athletic
committee, who had worked so earnestly
to make the occasion success. The
hall presented a gay appearance. The
differing colors of the teams We're con-
spicuous, and each brilliant play was
commended by applause.
The Cumberland team was the first to
enter, followed shortly by the State
Normal, and both We're given great
ovation.
The game commenced at BIZ p. m,
and was marked by brilliant play
throughout by members of both teams.
The first half ended with the score . to
1 in favor of Cumberland. In the
second half the Normal team put OH a
little more steam and scored against 3,
making the final score to in favor of
Cumberland.

Fire.
The store of Isaac Fine, in the Thomas
building, Union street. was discovered
to be on fire Tuesday morning about 81,
o'clock. Mrs. O'Rourke, living next
door, first discovered the smell of smoke.
Awaking her husband, the School En-
aminer, the latter went to the cellar and
found the blaze in the floor of Fines
store. The smoke was too much for
him, however, and aid lad to be sum-
moned, finally an alarm which brought
the firemen. The blaze was extin-
guished with as little loss to building and

Fire.
ST. Patrick's IDay

The first page is designed for reading
next Tuesday.
In connection with this hint it is
dpropoS to recall from an interesting and
popular story of the olden time the fact
that the first recorded ascent of Mt
Ararat was made under easy though EN-
barrassing conditions 1853 years ago, to
be exact.
This achievement was the felicitous
climax of five months cruise during
the rainy season.
The record, carefully compiled by
Moses, no doubt from 1.-THE log" is to
the effect that "the ark rested in the It'll
month on the 18th day of the month of
the Hebrew year.
1t will be seen, therefore, that by what
now appears as happy coincidence,
that Noah, the pioneer explorer, landed
on Ararat on St. Patrick's day, in the
year 1850 B. c., fact which escaped
Moses, although then a prophet of high
honor in his own country
The only trouble about this calcula-
ton, then, isit evolves Moses as bet
ter historian than prophet, though he
was the latter to n commendable degree.
The incident is unique i'll this-that
Noah is the only seaman who ever
landed directly from his boat on the
summit of mountain.
And Ararat is nearly 6 times higher
than Dams Rock
