than the sale of goods is the fact that

to introduce bill amending the
county jury law so as to prohibit the
drawing of any citizen for service with.
in four years from the term of court
wherein he last did such duty.
Nearly 600 citizens eligible to jury
duty will thus be always disqualified foi

And yet, whether jury duty be a hard
ship or cinch, it should be evenly dis
tributed.
When the JOURNAL as an individual
was youth "skirking jury duty" was
common; not SO here and now.

Belt the Town.

The Rpriem radiant of the Lonacon-
ing star INDUCES lecture OF the town
of Frostburg, based upon information,
doubtless, furnished by the Electric
Railway company.
To prevent accidents at the lower end
of Grant street it endorses the com
pany's request to place ii continuing
switch, and so on.
As the JOURNAL understands the mat
ter, however, the company is now Ill
town .without leave" and has no more
right to make request for its comfort
or safety than smallpox suspect t."
have his meals sent to him at the towns
expense.
But the Rcricr radiant says
However. the franchise under which the
company are now operating should be
sufficient guarantee of their privileges; the
splendid service they are giving that city
should demonstrate their sincerity, and the
privilege asked should be unhesitatingly
granted.
The company itself could have made
that statement no more plausihly, and 1t
could have added that, Notwithstanding
it has no franchise to do business i'll this
town, the town is not only tolerating 1t
but paying it handsomely for all the
splendid service it is enjoying and
allowing it besides to whistle in the
street ad Hbitum, smash wagons, injure
horses and damage citizens cat cO$t''
But the way to get to the Grant street
level is ria some street to Loo, thence to
Bowery, Grahamton or Layman, or
both. Arrange to descend by new route,
never by Grant street.
Then ascend Grant street and new
route alternately.
In short, let the company arrange to
serve the convenience and comfort of
the most people, not mcreIg lis orr"
pratt.
If it wont do this, it is Councils duty
to protect the people-not the company
Hence, whether the so-called charter
is "lost' or not, makes no difference.
A new and better arrangement is
wanted anyway.

Holiday Festivities.

Beginning with the Christmas
tree entertainment on the night
Of the oath, the social events have
occurred with such bewildering
rapidity, and have taken on such
a wide scope, that the society
editor is reduced to condition of
mental and nervous collapse,
which is the reason he cannot re-
cord the various events with mi
nuteness as to detail which the
afore mentioned events deserve.
Suffice it to say that the Christ
mas tree entertainment, given by
the ladies of Elk City, was one of
the most enjoyable affairs in the
recent social history of the camp.
The trees, of which there were
two, bore many tokens Of friend
ship, love and esteem. Frequently
the mementos took on the char
acter of utility, as in the case Of
Miles Rice, who received an arti-
Gle of nutriment known in the
marts of commerce as Salmon
belly" The Newsman's memen-
tos were along the same lines,
consisting of a bunch of almanacs
to remind him of the value of
time and the fact that bills have
a., habit of coming due; also an
oreoid watch case without entrails
an allegory, no doubt, of the hol-
low mockery of things mundane.
L. A. Strong drew a straw hat
of the vintage of '03, which was
safely packed away in a hat box
four feet high.
The Hotel Parr had tree also
for the benefit of it's star board
ers on Christmas morning. The
many kindly tokens were distrib-
uted by little Jessie Basket, the
fairy god-mother of the occasion.

Martin D. E4umes Dead.
From our special correspondent

From our special correspondent.
Martin D. Humes died at his
home on Salmon river, near the
Churchill ranch, on Christmas
eve, aged AT years. He was TAX
en- sick about six weeks ago with
chills and fever, although it is
thought the immediate cause of
his death was pneumonia.
Mr.. Humes has been in Idaho
for about two years, coming here
from the Olympia mountains in
Washington, where he was fol-
lowing the calling of trapper and
guide. He has spent most of his
time prospecting around Elk City
and Dixie, but lately had been
developing a placer property on
the Solmon owned by the Idaho
Mining company, Of Seattle
Mr.. Humes was a native Of the
state of New York. He was
raised in the Adirondack noun
tains, where all his early life was
spent in the capacity of guide for
the numerous visitors to his faith
er's hotel, a noted SUMMER and
winter resort at Waterville.
Mr.. Humes was quite congo
NAL companion, and easily made
friends with those whom he came
in contact. He was cared for in
his sickness by his partner, C. H.
Prescott, who was a very tender
and careful nurse, and did every
thing in his power to relieve the
sufferer and make his last days
comfortable.
The funeral took place on the
18th, the interment taking place
on a high bar across from the
mouth of Mallard creek.

Lake Caspian Notes,

Monday evening, July IS, Mr.. and
Mrs. Benjamin II. Sanborn of Welles-
ley, Mass, gave a most delightful
musicale at their cottage in honor Of
their guest, E N. Brooks, a lawyer
of Boston. The piazza and sitting
room of the cottage, tastefully de-
cOrated with ferns and flowers, formed
a most attractive and convenient
stage, and under the canopy of the
trees around, the Chinese lanterns
we're hung in profusion. Altogether
the scene was a charming one, espe-
cially as viewed from the lake. About
$50 friends from the various camps
and the town were present, and
evinced their keen delight in the
music of the evening by their geBer.
Gus applause. All united in pronouDc
ing this one of the most pleasursble
entertainments so characteristic o
Mr.. and Mrs. Sanborn, who have
always been foremost in their efforts
for the enjoyment and social ability
of the summer life in Greensboro
The programme of the evening cor
sisted of a piano duet by Misses
Helen and Grace Mcfarland; piano
solos by Misses Helen Landon anC
Edith Woodruff; violin solos by
Horace Landon; vocal solos by Mrs
f. E. Dewhurst, Miss Alice SanbOrI
and Mr.. Brooks; a vocal duet by Mrs
Harris and Miss Paddock, and voca
quaFtettes by Miss Mary Paddock
Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Harris and Mr.
f. Rainey. Mrs. Votey accompanied
the soloists with her usual skill ant
taste. All of those who took part ex
cept Mr.. Brooks are members OF tn
various camps about the lake. Th
entire programme was of the highes
order. Mr.. Brooks singing was es
pecially pleasing. He has a remark
ably rich and sweet voice, which h
handles with ease and skill and with
cut the slightest affectation. A. L
Hardy, superintendent of schools a
Amherst, Mass, appropriately al
nounced the different numbers.
In every respect the evening was
most enjoyable one to everyone pres
emit, and the charming hospitality c
Mr.. and Mrs. Sanborn on this occa
sion will be long remembered.
