TOWN AND VICINITY.
Death of an Editor.

Three communities We're startled and
shocked by the announcement Friday
evening of last week of the sudden death
of Mr. Henry Clay Rank-IIonaconing
where he was born and reared; Frost
burg, where he married, and CumbCr-
land, where he lived.
He had been on the street during the
afternoon and returned home and re-
tired while Mrs. Rank was ont shopping.
He had been indisposed, but Mrs. Rank
thought not seriously. She sent one of
the little boys upstairs to call him to
supper He responded-"I will be down
in a minute" Not coming, Mrs. Rank
went up and found him unconscious
Medical aid, summoned at once, came
quickly. but the physician and nurses
found Mr. Rank beyond the reach of
human help.
Mr. Rank had suffered at times from
indigestion of the acute type, but it is
believed his last Illness was of the nervous
form of apoplexy.
Mr. Rank was born December -, 1869
and had, therefore, lately passed his }i:h
year. He acquired the art of printing
with the late Henry w. Schaidt; was
foreman of the Cumberland .NcW> two
years; held an important position on the
IiWFS also Tor aWnlle, ana III lS12 as
sumed conduct of the Homecoming Re-
rieT, purchasing that paper two years
later. Two years ago he sold the RerirT
and bought the independent, of Cumber-
land and made it a Semi-weekly.
Ii will be seen that he was Il printer,
publisher and editOr-an all-rOund news
paper man, eXcelling in all departments -
a mechanical, business and professional
combination somewhat rare these days
and becoming rarer. He had achieved
considerable success and plans in process
of development promised more.
Eleven years ago Miss Mary J. Dando.
daughter of judge JamrS Daudo, of
this place. became his wife. who with
two sons--J. Lindley and Lawrence H..
survives.
Mr.. Rank was an active member of
several fraternities, an official and choir
member of the German Lutheran
church, aud at the time of his death Il
prominent officer i'll the committee ar
ranging for the entertainment in Cum
berland next June of the State Firemcn.
The funeral Sunday afternoon last and
interment at Frostburg attracted il large
attendance from the three places inter
ested i'll paying the last sad tribute.
The Fraternal Orders of Eagles. Hep
tasophs and Royal Arcanum, and Fire
men from both Homecoming and Cum
berland, made up an unusually imposing
COrtCgP.

Voters, do not overlook the fact that
any great expression of sympathy with
Electric Road opposition to town I'M
provement at the polls next Tuesday
will be used in Court to the further

the paving and we want the Belt Line.

The JOURNAL regrets that it feels com

But If the situation be not the fault of
the property holders it is their misfortune
And, whether fault or misfortune, the
JOURNAL does not want it to spread.

Fair for One as the Other.

Lawyers are quoted as assuring clients
that 1.-THE town has poor case against
the Union street prOperty-owners.
And-worse still. ga poorer case
against the Electric Railway company.
If the lawyers be competent as well as
sincere, and if there be common sense IN
law, and following the trend of the logic
of LAWYERS if not the bent of their I'M
retained sympathy, III" tor" m"<f mare
still poorcr cdSe against HsrT!
That is, if the case against people and
company whose properties have been I'M
proved by paving be poor that against
those whose properties have not been
improved by paving must be poorer
For let it be understood that every
defence set up by property owners or
company, or both together, is SO much Il
case made practically by the town
against people and property that have
not profted by paving.
In short, such defence, singular or
allied, is equivalent to Il suit by Union
street entered i'll the name of the town
against every other street i'll froStburg
not for damages, but for III" east Gt
benefits bestowed alone on Union street.
Without any voice in the matter, the
people outside the area of improvement
were loaded with nearly one-third of
the cost.
Now it is proposed to pile on their
shoulders nearly all of the other two
thirds.
Without attempting or intending to
forestal any action i'll Court. the people
outside of the area of improvement
should vote unanimous protest against
any process which burdens them with
more than one-third the cost of paving.
For if the beneficiary property
and company can afford to protest and
that in Court, certainly those who have
not been benefited can do so at the
polls

broad.
For instance, if Mr.. Lewis had de
pended for his election upon 9Th" con-
stituents' whom the Cumberland NcW<
accuses him of disappearing, he
wouldn't be in the Senate.
1t was the Labor vote which elected
Mr. Lewis, and the road bill is in Labor
interest-not the Labor of party merely
nor of Cumberland only.

Town Politics.

Care should be taken to put no
man i'll the Mayors chair or i'll Council
whose interest or sympathy is mixed
with the greed aud aggreSsivencss of the
electric road.
The electric company should be made
to pay its share of the Union-strcet paw
ing job-thiS without regard to whether
property owners pay or not.
As the matter stands, the interests OF
the company and recalCltrant property
owners are one.
The company, i'll trying to throw the
expense of the Improvement of its prop
erty, mostly upon the people who hive
upon unimproved streets, Is glad enough
to make common cause with property
owners who, for less reason, are doing
the same thing.
And when this combination succeeds,
good bye to all street improvement else
where in town for years to come, and
goodbye to the Belt Line forever.
To this end, put no man i'll Council
who is at all doubtful as to his attitude
toward the paving business, or who can
he made to forget that he represents IN"
pcopip and the foWD and not the company.
Put no man i'll Council who cannot
wait for adjournment to run and tell

AN OLD SMOKERS DREAMS
HI Had to Give Up His Pipe and
Cigar, But Still Enjoyed
Them.

at has been Is years since / was
told to break loose from tobacco, as
over-indulgence in smoking was about
to knock me out" said s.. ]. Mason, of
Chicago, reports a local exchange.
From that day, though so dear
a lover of the weed, I haven't put
a cigar or pipe between my lips, and
yet, strange as it may sound, on nu-
merous occasions I find myself putting
out huge clouds of smoke drawn from
the most fragrant Havanas that ever
were given to solace mankind.
"These smokes, let it be understood,
come in my dreams, but the enjoyment
they confer is as solid and substantial
as in the old days when the indulgence
was a reality. C~uriously enough, too,
the visions always present a group Of
friends. I a see them putting away
vigorously. l catch the aroma they
blow forth; I hear their conversation
as in the old days, and the whole at
mosphere is of tobacco. Yet, despite
these vivid pictures, awakening brings
no desire to resume the ancient habit,
and so | expect to continue dreaming
Of smoking to the end of the chapter
without ever putting 1t in practice"

The ~Indomitable Gull

You can no more disconnect thoughts
Of the open sea from the flight and
cry of a gull than from the masts and
cordage of a ship or the brown and
gold branches of seaweed and the long,
purple-luted ribbons of seawrack.
Restless explorers of all seas; found
upon every island, inlet and reach of
coast; always enterprising. energetic,
fearless and full of eager vitality, this
amphibious and indomitable bird might
well be chosen for the heraldic symbol
of Great Britain if we had not already
appropriated the lion. The heart Of
a seagull, which is not so large as an
Orleans plum, must have in it all the
heroism of Vasco da Cana, all the curl.
osity of Columbus, all the joyous buc-
caneering spirit of Raleigh and Of

JAPANESE AS CHEMISTS.
Have Gained High Standing in tbs
Literature of the Learned
Profession.

Probably no eastern nation is more
strongly represented than are the Japan
ese in the English annals of science and
more particularly in literature on chem
istry, says the London Lancet. They
possess an undoubtedly strong faculty
for original research and they combine
this faculty with a sharp-sightedness
as to the possibilities of practical ap-
plication of the fruits of research. The
Japanese chemist, in fact, unites the
power of originality of the English
chemist and the practical intuition OF
the German. At the University of To-
kio practical study is very much favored
and splendid facilities for work are pro-
vided in the laboratories and workshops.
There are several distinguished Japan
ese chemists who are fellows of the
English Chemical society and who were
elected to the fellowship on account OF
the excellence Of their contributions to
original science. Many elaborate pa
pers involving long and patient labora-
tory investigation are printed in full in
the transactions Of the society. The
Japanese chemists discuss with a free
dom which %astonishes the western chem.
ist all the modern abstruse theories
bearing upon the atomic theory, the con
stitution Of matter, the theory of dis
sociation, and so forth. They write
powerful dissertations on the views ad-
vanced by such esteemed thinkers as
OSWALD, Arrhenius, Van 'tHoff, Kelvin.
Thomson, Lodge, Crookes, Ramyas and
others, and have offered valuable crit
icisms on the methods of ~systematizing
and compiling atomic weights adopted
by western chemists. Chemistry, OF
course, Is a powerful weapon in war.
and there can be little doubt that among
other things which have so far contrib
uted to Japanese successes is a sound
knowledge Of explosives, their compo-
| sition, action and behavior under a va
| riety of conditions. When there is nc
longer any need for the implements oil
battle, and may that soon be, we may
be pretty sure that the same subtle in
| sight which is so marked a feature oil
the Japanese intellect will turn with
equal success to the application Of sci
ence to peaceful pursuits.

REMEDIES FOR CUT WORMS
To Trap These Destructive Garden and
Orchard Pests Requires Work
and Strategy.

Cutworms are the larvae of moths
belonging to the family noctuidae.
These moths are night flyers; their
eyes shine in the lamp light and hence
they are sometimes called "owlet
moths" The eggs are laid by the fe-
male moth for the most part on leaves
or the soft parts of plants. Land re-
Gently in sod is likely to be infested,
and the crop following sod is pretty
sure to suffer if attractive to these
pests. Some cutworms climb fruit
trees and eat the buds.
Late fall blowing by turning up the
pupae of cutworms, where a varying
temperature has a chance to work on
them, so thai crows, blackbirds and
other birds have an opportunity to eat
them, is al excellent thing.
Many growers of melons, squashes
and cucumbers protect their young
plants by cylinders of tin (tomato cans
with ends melted out are good or
cardboard or even brown paper, a cylin-
der surrounding each plant and planted
a few inches 1.-TWO or three) in the soil.
Poisoning bundles of clover with a
solution of Paris green and strewing
the same amongst the plants to be
protected is one good method. Both
of these the entomologist has tried
with some success. Paris green, it
must be remembered, is a slow acting
poison comparatively, and one must
hot expect worms which have eaten it
to die at once. Planting an excessive
number of seed or plants is sometimes
resorted to. The writer has found the
guilty worm frequently concealed an
inch or two in the soil in the morning,
not far from the plant injured during
the night. He has also trapped them
successfully by placing cabbage leaves,
or any large leaf or board, among
plants needing protection, finding the
worms under there in the morning.
