Mr.. Beverly s. Randolph has retir-
ed as superintendent of the Consoli-
dation Coal Company, after a service
of eighteen years. he will be succeed

Company. a new Office, that of Gen
eral Manager of the Consolidation
Coal Company, has been created and
will be filed by L. l.. Malone, of Fair

eer and geologist and his lectures on
the geology of the Georges Creek re-

Mr.. Randolph is without doubt
the leading authority regarding the
coal beds of the Georges Creek re-
gion, and has done much to make the
Consolidation Coal Company what it
is TODAY. For many years Mr. Ran
dolph made his home in Martinsburg.
He studied civil engineering and ge-
ology and spent much of his early life
with surveying corps.
Mr.. Brydon, the new superinten-
dent, is comparatively young min

Company. He is son of Mr.. WmA.
Brydon, of Bloomington, Md, who is
well known in the coal region, and
was at one time in charge OF the af-

SCARCITY OF WATER
The Protracted Drought Has Greatly

Garrett County.

I The Protracted Drought Has Greatly
Inconvenience the Farmers of
Garrett County.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try are TO the effect that water is
the scarcest article among the coun-
try people and should the drought be
further prOtracted there will surely
be much suffering of live stock. In
many communities wells and springs
that have always afforded an album
dance of water have long since be
come entirely exhausted, and in many
cases the farmers are compelled to
haul water for various purposes from
neighboring streams. The majority
of the farmers in this county have
well-watered farms, and have not been
so greatly troubled for that necessary
article, in the past, but the present
drought has almost eclipsed all others
so far that the Inconvenience expert
enced for some time past is without
a parallel. And the water that wells
and springs now afford appears to be
so unhealthy that an epidemic of ty-
phoid fever is greatly dreaded, and
for that reason. if none other, Yigor-
Gus precautions are being exercised
to guard against such an unfortunate
happening. Some old citizens ex-
press themselves that within their
recollection the present drought il
about the worst ever known. The
country people are hoping that they
because, as many farmers say, "if a
hard freeze should come, it is hard to
tell what stock would do for water"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infeetant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not q,
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money is
In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the. finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large. pleasant tasting lozenges, the
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
Of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purerf blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal says: II advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat;I ALSO believe the liver is great.
" benefited by the daily use Of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents box
at drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet believe

ENTERTAINMENTS.
hyperion Theater.

OF that favorite actor, Robert Man
tell, who appears to-day matinee and
evening, at the Hyperion, the New York
Evening World says:
"For the first time in about ten years
Robert Mantell appeared In New York
at the Fourteenth Street theater last
night. Now he comes back the same
old Mantell, erect, handsome. mellow Of
voice and skillful With the foils. 1t
would be strange, indeed, to see Man
tell in play in which there is no
sword conflict, and there is one in
1.-THE Light Of Other Days" that is "a
thriller. The play is a story Of the
French Revolution and Is. replete with
action and sentiment. Mantell plays
the part Of dashing soldier, always
in trouble over the troubles of others.
The scenes are laid in Ireland and
France. and there is enough comedy to
relieve the tense strain off the scenes
of pathos and dramatic intensity. The
supporting company is capable. Miss
Marie Booth Russell in a dual role. that
of mother and daughter, being espe-
cially convincing.
