CLEVELAND BONDS BEGGING.
Buyers Accused of Entering Con

Cleveland. o.. Sept. 21.-Cleveland still
finds herself unable to dispose of her Sc
curities. To-day there was not q single
bid for the $4,000 worth of 4-per-cent re-
for sale.
A week ago bids were opened for $4,000
of bonds. Only three bids were received
then, and the premium offered for three
lots aggregating $1,000 was only S115.
Those bids were rejected.
The only excuse City Auditor Madigan
can o1er for the failure to receive bids
to-day was that the bond buyers appeared
to have entered into conspiracy against
Cleveland securities.

GENERAL.
\ Handsome Notice.

The State Normal School, located ut
Frostburg, has not only proven a sue
cess i'll point of attendance, but has
awakened an interest in higher educa-
ton in this section of the State beyond
the expectations of its promoters.
When it was proposed to establish "A
second normal school in the State, the
same to be located at FrOstburg, the
project met with great opposition for
two reasons. First, that one such in
stitutiOn in the State was sufficient, and,
second, that FrOSt6urg was not suit
able place. Both of these reasons have
proven untenablc. The evidence that
such an institution was needed i'll the
western part of the State is found in the
large attendance since its opening, over
year ago, and the interest it has
awakened i'll the cause of education.
Its being located at Frosthurg has also
proven favorable in every way. Frost
burg is one of the growing and pros
porous towns Of Maryland. with an
approximate population of 5000. 1t is
located on IA beautiful plateau between
Allegany ranges of mountains, and
is about 1000 feet above tide-water.
Nowhere i'll the State is the scenery
more beautiful and extensive, the water
purer or climate healthier. The abSo-
lutte freedom from malaria, owing to the
uneycelled natural drainage of the
country and its situation between the
extreme cold of the North and the encr-
waiting heat of the South combine to
make Frostburg an ideal place for the
location of an educational institution.
Frostburg is also ii great trade center,
and is accessible by steam and electric
railways and numerous well macad-
amized roads, among them the MAJ
tiOnal pike, which forms the main
street of the city. Its stores are up to
date, many of which would do credit 10

There Should he u Test.

That there should be some educational
test of qualifications for exercise of the
sorereign right of suffrage is beyond all
doubt
But that test should be made in the
registration Office by competent regis
trars.
At the polls is too late; the time too
short, and the manner of marking a
ballot inadequate.
AS matter of fact the educational
test is primarily the intent of registra-
ton; all else is merely matter of
routine record
