4 Threat to Burn.


a Frostburg citizen received an anony
nous letter few weeks ago which he
thinks should have some ventilation.
In substance it is about as follows:
Mr-if you have not rented you hous
you had better rent it to someone else Tor
don pay his rent. He wont pay
his rent. Thay are Il mean people to iiNe Ill
a house thay brak and tear everything So
bad. You had better not let him have 1t.

is a good rentr-nice about a hous. II you
rent to - we will burn it don.
Yours truly
The JOURNAL, understanding III the
first place that publication of the letter
as written was desired, declined, on the
ground that it would not be fair to the
persons whose names appeared to PRINT
them upon the strength of anonymous
authorship.
But avoiding this objection by blank
ing the names, the JOURNAL agrees with
the citizen that publication now can
be personal only to the guilty party,
and that so far as the threat to- burn
is concerned, 1.-THE confession that we
have among us even one inccndiary
character cannot be made too public.
The public now has all the statement

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Viscount Haya-

Court of ST. James, who has been
bearing the brunt of the diplomatic
struggle in Europe between japan and
Russia, is a great admirer of Ameri-
can diplomacy. Discussing it his Ex-
cellency said:
American diplomacy is far superior
to the medieval methods which still
prevail with European statesmen. 1t
is frank and always to the point. The
moment controversy arises American
statesmen make it clear what the
American Government wants. The
Americans say frankly what they want
and what they intend to have.
What is the result? They gener-
ally get it. If they don't those op-
posed to them know the consequences.
There is no beating about the bush.
There is none of the delay, suspense
and consequent loss of business which

Natives of Capri Are Awe-Stricken at

LONDON. Feb 6.-Mr. and Mrs.
Booth Harrington, who have been stay
ing at the Hotel Quisisana, Capri, for
some little time, are now about to
journey to Rome. where they will be
stationed at the Palace Hotel At Ca
pri the American novelist and his wife
were known as the Grand Duke and
Duchess" because they never question
ed the first prices that were asked them
for anything they wished to buy, no
matter how exorbitant and outrageous
were these first prices. The general
custom in Capri is to ask ridiculously
high prices and to come down grad
ually to a business basis. What still
further impressed the people of Capri
with the munificence Of their Grand
Duke and Duchess" was that when at
tending a native wedding Mrs Tark-
ington, suddenly realizing that she had
no present with her for the bride, un-
clasped a pearl necklace from her neck
and presented it to the bride. This
thrifty lady was overwhelmed with joy
at the Americans tribute, and it was
not long before she was at the local
jewelers. at Capri having the gift
valued. To Mr.. and Mrs. Tarkingtons
intense amusement 1t was priced by
this authority at 10000 francs. The
bride is envied Of all her friends while
the giver and few friends are enjoy
ing a joke, for, having left her jewelry
in America, Mrs. Harrington bought a
few imitation things in England to
wear until she got back The price she
paid for the pearl necklace in London

IT was via Paris that Booth Tarking-
ton went to Capri, and one day. when
strolling through the Paris streets the
novelist was accosted by an old beggar
who asked for aims. Mr.. Harrington
looked at the man for a moment, then
dropped a louis into his hands The
beggar was thunderstruck at the re-
ceipt Of so much money and, while the
donor looked on amused, kept passing
il from one hand. to another to make
sure it was real. Then Harrington in
execrable French tried TO explain, and

LONDON, Feb. 6.-That not the po-

shown by the amusing experience OF
a recent visitor to Antwerp, which city
is now the chief market in Europe for
stolen jewels.

GREAT FAMILY HISTORIES.
The histories of the two great Ro-
man Catholic families which are about
pecially at the great battle Of Flodden
Field, which the second Duke of Nor
folk won, and in which the second Lord
Herries was killed, while fighting un-
der Norfolk The first Duke died fight
ing for Richard III at Bosworth;' the
third was beheaded by Henry VIII; the
fourth was beheaded at the Tower Of
London for communication with Mary,
Queen Of Scots; and his eldest son died
a prisoner in the Tower in 1895.
The present Duke, who celebrated his
fifty-seventh birthday a fortnight ago.
would have kept up the warlike tradi-
tions Of his family If he could have
had a chance. He was Postmaster Cen
eral Of England when war was de-
clared ,n the Transvaal, and in spite
Of the protests of his friends, and lack
of enthusiasm on the part Of the War
Office, there was nothing to do but
that he must resign and go to the front
TO show his patriotism. Dukes are not
greatly wanted in the firing line, and
although the Norfolk courage and sin
cerity was undoubted, his Grace was
persuaded after a time to return home.
I suppose there isn't in all England
to-day a more comfortable, easy-going
and unostentatious peer than the
present representative of all the Nor
folk glories. His habit of going about
in a sack coat and slouch hat. with his
long, black whiskers flying, has led to
many an amusing mistake on the part
Of folk who didn't know him.
THE DUKE Is CARELESS.
There are stories of tourists who
have encountered him roaming about
the grounds Of Arundel Castle and have
offered him small tips for small cour-
tesies extended, and there is a well
authenticated account Of his being
turned away from the door of an in
stitution for the poor on one occasion
when it had been announced that the
Duke of Norfolk would be present to
distribute certain prizes. The door
keeper told a somewhat disheveled
man who had eIbowed his way through
the crowd to the door that he ought to
know they did not distribute relief to
the poor on a day like that. i quite
understand" said the man. "but you
do distribute prizes, and I have come
down TO distribute them for you"
On another occasion when the Duke
was heading a distinguished party on a
pilgrimage TO the Vatican he was mis-
taken by a tourist on the platform for
one Of Cooks men and commanded to
look after her luggage. As she was
much flustered and in need Of assist
ance, the Duke politely carried her bag
for her, to the vast delight Of his titled
escort, and ii is doubtful if that tour
list knows to this day why 1t was that
her porter refused a tip.
The new Duchess is one Of the few
women in England who will succeed
to a title of her own, as the Scotch
barony Of Herries will descend to heI
after her fathers death. 1t is a proud
old line and it is almost pity that
the title doubtless will be absorbed
eventually in the long list Of Norfolb
titles. The Duke is already Earl Of
Arundel. Earl of Surrey, two or three
barons and half a dozen other things
