Richard Harris, agent for the Metro
politan Life Insurance Co., received a
silver star from his company Monday
presented him for having written an
amount of business emitting him to a
membership in the class of star-prO-
ducers for the month of June. If Harris
keeps on he will rise to the dignity of
a Homecoming comet.
Frostburg boys abroad are not bring
ing credit to the town, their parents, nor
their training. One i'll Washington, D..
c., distinguished himself last week by
filling with putty the eyes of statue of
Daniel Webster, and five visiting
Meyersdale, Pa, last Saturday, jumped
on and pounded crippled liveryman.
All We're very properly called to account,
the Washington boy having to leave the
city, and the Meyersdale boys, fined
from $40 to S25 each, had to stay in the
station-house night and day.
The JOURNAL saw the comet Thurs
day evening-at 10 o'clock past over
head, few degrees southeast of "The
Dipper'- independent bunch of haze,
but inclining sunward. The binary is
too far north for Homecoming, and tail
too far east for Frostburg. Otherwise,
the resemblance is striking.

\ Question of Mediums.

1t is not good plan to advertise Bibles
and hymn-bOoks in the Police Gazette simply
because it has Il larger circulation than the
ChriStian-dt- WOrk-JOurndlist.
Yet that is the way little merchants
who are big wiseacres i'll advertising
view the matter nine of ten times.
And when it is said so, that paper
has no circulation" the little merchant
believes it, but if il newspaper man comes
along who is "going to" have five or nine
thousand subscribers the little merchant
"takes it all i'm as sure thing.
The little merchant is about as gullible
as the man who imagines il newspaper
has no circulation because he dOesn't
himself take it.

To whomsoever wants to establish
disconnection between hog-pe and
small -pox the JOURNAL wants to state
that in 1871 when the hog-pen tlourished
in all its glory there were two cases of
small-pox here, one proving fatal.
That was IL long time ago, but not too
long to make it useless as an offset to a
late councilmanic stroke at the doctors.
Meanwhile, in two instances. almost

\ FrOStburG Giant.

The Baltimore SIM saw William w.
Wittig, of this place, Sunday evening,
last, and was impressed. 1t says
In the lobby of the Carrollton Hotel last
night for nearly an hour the center of at
traction for many Of the visitors and the
cause of more fun than anything else We're
two men so vastly different in size as to
make it seem almost impossible that they
belonged to the same species. One of these
was Mr.. Frank Robinson, of Dubuque, Iowa,
who does not measure much over three feet.
although he dresses in the height of style and
is one of the most popular of the Western
delegates. The other was a vertable giant
from Frostburg Md.-William W. Wittig by
name, who said that he was 6 feet 10 inches
tall, and who looked it every inch.
Mr.. Wittig and Mr.. Robinson conversed
together for quite while to the great de
light of the crowd Mr.. Wittig who was
head and shoulders above everybody else
in the lobby, announced that he intended to
put on a high hat and march in the parade
on Wednesday in the hope of winning the
prize to be given to the tallest Elk.
Mr.. Robinson, it is said, will not compete
for the prize for the shortest Elk, inasmuch
as he has knowledge of others who are com
ing who are not so tall by several inches
as he.
The Baltimore JIorM tells the story
also and illustrates the ''bacS-up'
measurement:
Hello, Blln' yelled the crowd in the
social room at the Elks clubhouse Tuesday
morning as towering human figure, sur
mounted by silk hat that almost scraped
acquaintance with the ceiling, made its way
toward the bar, followed by Il cheering
crowd of Kentucky delegates. The big fell
low was Scott Brown, of Frankfort, Ky,
No. $50.
How tall is he?" came Il chorus of in
quiries from all parts of the room.
Seven foot tall brothers, came the
solemn response from the Kentucky crowd.
Nobody thought of doubling their word,
and all gaZed awe-strickcn at the towering
chap until fresh yell arose from the rear of
the hall.
1t heralded the approach of another her
cuean figure. He was William W. Wittig,
of Frostburg, Md, 40.
In an instant the crowd had the two big
fellows back to back. Wittig was an inch
taller and the Maryland crowd yelled
triumphantly.
How tall are you" queried the bunch.
six foot eight" replied Witug, modestly,
and II howl of derision went up at the ex-
pense of the Kentucky champion.

"puSS in Boots"

The following excellent notices will
show that "Puss in Boots to be given
Tuesday evening at the Frostburg Opera
House, will be one of the banner events
of the season:

tertainment of excellent moral character
and impression for my church on 3lst of
January. 1898, to an audience of 1900 people
We were greatly pleased with it.-h". W,

Enthusiastic applause and packed house
greeted "Puss in Boots at the Grand Opera
House last evening. 1t was the best anna
teur performance ever presented at the

geous. The electric snowstorm was weird
and grand. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Lee

Vain Hint.

The laboring men i'll the mining region.
need to keep their eyes open during the
coming campaign. There is something in
the wind-tlueen City Co"risr.
Don't know about that.
The average laboring man on Georges
Creek doesn't want TO be reminded OF
anything in his own party that is "agin
him.
In national and State matters he
wants his party to win, most frequently
just for the glory Of beating the other
party.
In county affairs it is not extravagant
expenditures of the peoples money that
concerns him so much as who shall this
time enjoy the privilege of being ex-

Political.

In all probability the republican party
will not do better than nominate Jen,
kin Daniel, of this place, for County
Treasurer. Those who know him well
report him capable, honest and deserv.
Inequalities which have made him
generally and highly respected.
The Homecoming star made an ex.
cellent point last week against the in.
consistency of people who hold the
county commissioners accountable for
heavy expenses incurred in the repair
of flood damages. And it has not been
long since some Mt. Savage "Junius'
failed them so verbally and metaphors
cally that some other people wondered
why the commissioners allow floods
to happen.
