DeaIh of an AGED lady.

Sunday afternoon, 18th inst, Mrs.
Adam Pfatf passed away. Had she lived
until October 22d, next, she would have
been ~ years old, % of which she had
been Il resident of FrCstburg.
She was born i'll Ebau, Germany, in
1922 In 1919 she came to Frostburg
and a short while later was married to
Mr.. Adam Pfatf. Together they shared
each others sorrows, care and joys
until June %. 1870, when Mr.. Pfatf,
mGrtally hurt in one of the Consolida-
ton Coal company's mines, died the
next day. To the widow W rs thus left
the care and support of 6 children born
to them. A correspondent who knew
her well continues the narratives
The remainder of her life was spent in dis
charging the high trust thus committed to
her. Upon her children she bestowed all
the wealth of II mothers love, cheering them
in sorrow, or rejoicing with them when
fortune smiled In all events, she did what
she could.
She was Il member of the German Luth-

Another Fact Unseen.

Don't forget another consideration,
gentlemen-you who are gulled with the
notion that Cumberland pays nearly or
more than half the county taxes-there
is a considerable sum paid in Cum
berland on property that is not Ill
Cumberland.
Take the Cumberland and Penn
sylvania railroad company, for instance,
which makes 80 per- cent. of its money
from the 80 per- rent. of its property that
lies outside of CONFERENCE.-The COM
pany pays its taxes in Cumberland and
Cumberland takes crcdh for il!
And this is made reason why the
people who pay the company for its
service must add ii premium thereto for
Cumberland streets.
The very least that can be said of the
matter at this moment is-the gentle
men in the House of Delegates, from
both in and out of Cumberland, the
latter especially, are incorporating
their constituents

Fact

The false claim is made that Cumber-
land pays nearly half or more than half
the county taxes.
Either could be made true if the tax
ing authorities had the power and the
spunk to assess all property i'll Cumbcr-
land that ought to be taxed.
But there is more taX-dOdging and
more property hidden from taxation i'll
Cumberland than in all the county
beside.
1t is hardly too much to say that the
aggregate will reach up into the millions!
No doubt about this.
Hence, every cent taken by Cumber-
land out of the county treasury for city
elections and streets is so much reward
for those who, ATTEST 10 pay, wont pay.
In line of battle this sort of conduct is
