fected by the strike are the North

Arthur b. Day Seriously Injured BY AM
nal On Cheat River.
Shortly after corps of Morgantow i
and Kingwood railroad engineers had
gone into camp on Cheat river, four
miles below Rowlesburg west of Oak
land last Monday, Arthur B. Day,
front chairman, who had gone to a
spring some distance from camp to
get water to use in preparing supper,
was attacked by large catamount
and received very serious injuries be-
fore he could be rescued. His cries
for help soon aroused the rest of party
and Engineer Crawford, with hand
axe, and Engineer Parks, with transit
rod, rushed to his assistance with
great danger to themselves, and dis
patch the ferocious beast just in time
to prevent Mr.. Day from being horri-
bly, nangled. Members of the party
skinned the huge cat which measured
five feet seven inches from tip to tip.
Mr.. Day will be disabled for for some
time.

Wants to Cultivate Genseng.

Mr.. George H. Gilpin, of Baltimore,
was in Oakland last Friday looking
for small parcel of land upon which
he desires to start into the growing
of genseng. Mr.. .Gilpiu is very en-
thusiastic upon the subject and has
faith enough in his project to invest
several hundred dollars in cash if he
can secure ground suitable for his
purpose. The seng is being cultiva-
ted in other sections of the country
and yields large profits. This is its
natural home and it is thought that
it will pay han6somely

WHAT GOV. LOWNDES SAYS.
His View of the Present Political Situatio
in Maryland.

MnAI Wv LII NDEO On To-
His View of the Present Political Situation
in Maryland.
x-Governor Lloyd Lowndes spent
last Sunday at the Deer Park Hotel
where hetalkedpleasantly and greea-
bly, with a number of persons who
hid called to pay their respects. He
was interviewed by correspondent
of the Baltimore sun with whom he
talked freely on the political situation
in Maryland. The Ex-Governor said:
when the Republican party came
into power in 1895 in the State of
Maryland it immediately redeemed
every pledge made by it. Prior to
that time the Democratic party had
made promise after promise, but fa'-
ed to redeem any of them. The Re
publican party passed an Assessment
law that brought ID lions of do
upon the tax books which had preyi-
ously escaped taxation. 1t passed an
Election law which permitted every
citizen in the State of Nj 'vlfnd to
vote his sentiments; not one was d .
franch ed. 1t reduced taxation, it
appointed competent and honest Off
cials in the different State institution ;
and managed them honestly and well.
1t had no lobby or grandmother
fund-things that had been in eXis-
tence and even revived S ice the
Democratic party's accession to
power"
But said the correspondent, lit
appears from newspaper statements
shat there IS at present lack of h. =
monv in the party throughout the
State"
mo, there = no !" TX of -nony, "
replied the Governor. There is a
contest going on as to who will con-
troll the State Convention which wi
meet in September, and whoever may
be in control of that convention at
that time will be the guiding spirit in
the convention and will represent the
wishes of the people of the State and
will nominate the men that the pc
pie of the State desire. This conven-
ton wiz be quite different from the
Democratic Convention which IS to
meet to confirm, rather than to nom
iuate, the men selected by the bosses
of the Democratic party. The Repub-
lican party of the State of Maryla I'd
has no bosses; their leaders are con-
trolled By the masses of the Republi-
can party; they do not control the
masses.
You will find that when the nomi-
nations are made the Republican par
ty throughout the whole State will be
unit, working together for the sue
cess of that ticket so nominated who
ever they may be. McComas' friends,
Wachter's friends and Mudd's friends
are Republican, and firmly believe
in the principles of the Republic
party. While they are fighting for
mastery now and control, whichever
may be defeated will accept that de-
feat as gracefully as Sir Thomas Lip
ton accepted his on Saturday ls It and
will work together for party success.

MODERN JOURNALISM.

Journalism, says the Boston Globe
is receiving more attention tina
usua' this year in various collegiate
aQd convention addresses, but its
growth and Importance fully Justify
all the pleasant and Instructive dis.
cussion DEVOTED to it.
The history of the press is fasci1a
ing and wonderful to contemplate
The news. per calling ontains thou.
sands of workers, who are so busy
prepa ing the news for the public
that they selIvIA -, x shop" them
selves, although this silence does not
prevent them from also being amazed
at the marvellous progress journalism
has made within a comparatively
brief period.
Much is heard from gifted orators
about 1.-The power of the press a
newspaper, as a rule, exercises a
powerful influence in community
Only so long as it is popular and eff
ticient servant of the public. Its real
mission is to serve the people honest
ly, efficiently and truthfully.
There is a remarkable difference in
every way between the modern and
ancient newspaper, but in one respect
there is no change, and that is in the
endeavor of the press to be palla-
dunn of the liberties and rights of the
people.
Ancient countries always had a pal
ladium, which was supposed to af-
ford them effectual defense, protec-
tion and safety. 1t sometimes took
the shape of statue, like that of the
Pallas Minerva, which was carried off
by Ulysses, when the city of Troy
was burned to the ground by the
Greeks.
Ever since newspapers were pub
lished they have been a palladium for
the people, but they are more so to-
day than ever before.
The newspaper, besides faithfully
serving the public, is also a powerful
teacher. Of its work in this direction
an eminent divine says:
The newspaper is to-day pre- emf
nently the mentor of the people. 1t
is read by all it is believed nearly by
all. Its influence is paramount it's
responsibility is tremendous.
Its province is to narrate facts-.o
give the truth, nothing but the truth,
and all the truth to allow both par
ties to a controversy to be heard !;
never to palate or distort never to
omit, when that which is omitted
may be of relevancy in the formation
of public opinion never to publish
the doubtful as certain, the mere Cos
sip above all else, to put before read
ers error and falsehood."
Journalists are proud of the i'm
provement in the tone and character
of the press. The truth cannot be
suppressed in these days of electrical
communication. Nor is there any de.
sire to conceal it, because a great
newspaper is printed for the masses,
and not for the classes.
Success in journalism only comes
from pursuing the same methods nee
essary to succeed in other calliugs.
Honest and efficient service is what is
demanded by the management nd
public.

played, 90 one may look them over. Each
little nook and corner Is accessible, and
divisions have been made of the different
class Of books. 1t will not be necessary to
wade through lot Of fiction to find any
historical work. nor will not be necessary
to go over volumes of poems, history,
etc, to find books for boys, girls or chill
dren. Each classification is nicely made,
the titles are plainly visible and prices
conspicuously displayed. so one is not re-
qufred to turn to a salesperson to learn
the cost of anything.

INJURED
AT OTTAWA FIRE.
Three Hundred and Fifty Stu
dents Escape With Only Slight
Injuries From University.
MANY JUMP FROM WINDOWS.
Loss Exceeding s25O,OOO Results
From Lighted Cigarette
Thrown Away After Play
building Is Totally
Destroyed.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 2.-Fire which proba-
bly, started from a cigarette thrown away
after a play given in Academy Hall last
night totally destroyed the large building
Of Ottawa University early to-day.
All the students escaped with only
slight injuries, but two priests were SO Sc
riously injured that they may die, and
several other persons were badly hurt.
The loss exceeds $250.0O0 and is partly in
sured- A library containing $1,000 volumes
is one Of the items of loss.
Two years will be required to rebuild
the structure. and in the meantime there
Is no available place to carry on the uni
versity's work.
There were $50 students at the univer-
sity. which was Catholic institution, and
was carried on under the charge of the
clergy. OF the students $50 were boarders
and the remainder day scholars. Nearly
all OF the boarders were from the United
States. principally from the New England
States.
The students and others who had risen
early escaped easily. Some who were still
AIDED had to take to the fire escapes in
their night shirts or jump into blankets
held out by the flremen below.
The hre escapes were all on one side Of
tne structure and those who slept on the
other side could not reach them. They
had to jump, some of them from the
fourth and fifth stories.
1t was in jumping that the accident oc-
Cured. All Of the students escaped, how
ever. with only slight injuries.
TWO OF the priests were seriously in
1ured and one. Father Boyon, Is not eX-
pected to live. He was in the firth story
He could not reach the escapes and had
to jump. He fell on a veranda below,
landing on his shoulder and afterwards
rolling to the ground, striking on his head.
Father Fulham was on the fourth floor
He leaped into a blanket held out for him
and sustained injuries from which he may
not recover. Father McGurty was burned
on the head and arms, but not seriously
injured. An old woman, q servant,
jumped from the fifth story and was bad

He sprang to the window in his night
shirt and, throwing his body outside. hung
to the sill for fifteen minutes, when he
was taken down safely by the firemen. A
student named Cullen jumped from the
fourth story with his glasses on and had
his face cut. Another domestic, Miss
Dupuis, was badly injured. The students
lost all their effects,
