THE LATE CHARLES BROWN.
A Glowing Tribute Paid His Memory
by Editor Lou Smith of MeyersdaIe.

A Glowing Tribute Paid His Memory
by Editor Lou Smith of MeYersdaIe.
From the current issue of the Mey-
ersdale pa Commercial, published
by that veteran of the newspaper
business in this section, Mr.. Lou A.
Smith, the following tribute to the
memory of the late Charles Brown,
of Grantsville, whose tragic death
was noted in these columns last week,
is taken. We may add that the sub
ject of the sketch was intimately
known by Mr.. Smith from early youth
until his death and that the article
below is reproduced in these columns
because of the fact that Mr.. Browns
many noble traits of character en-
deared him to all who enjoyed his ac-
quaintance. Mr.. Smiths tribute fol-
lows:
Mr.. Charles Browns life passed
away at the home of his sister Marga-
ret, Grantsville, Md, Thursday of
last week. He was in ill-health, had
just pulled through a long term Of
sickness, was weak. and despondent.
All before him was gloom aud his
'mind, perhaps then Welding &c That
inscrutable disease that rcbbod us of
Trent, a Hartzell &nd thousands of
others in the highest walks of social
and official life, had no power to rally
and come out from beneath the cloud
enYeioping it. Those who knew him
loved him. That fact states in brief
the manner of man Charles Brown
was. His wife. his sons and daugh-
tiers may well be proud of it.
Charles Brown was a son of Cap
tain Henry Brown of Grantsyille, who
lost his life on saw mill, An elder
brother, Sergeant George Brown,
fought through the Civil War and
returned, only to lose his life, like his
father, on saw mill. Charles Brown
is the third tragic death to record
The family is an old and honored one
in the annals of Allegany and Gar
rett counties. He married the youn-
gest daughter of the late Joseph ]
Stutzman, the first superintendent of
public schools of Somerset county.
His early life was bright with promise.
He was well educated, he was ener-
getic, he commanded mems respect
and esteem, he was a bright business
man and became a prominent politi-
clan, occupying high places of trust
(Which he never dishonored), his fam
lily connections were enviable, but he
was poor and remained poor. Thous-
ands and thousands of dollars passed
through his hands, but he had never
learned in the school of graft, hence
his hand remained clean ana he re-
manned poor. That to-day, after life's
fitful fever has passed, is one of the
brightest that illumes his history.
He was loyal, true American and
a patriot of the purest type.
His body was laid to rest in the
home church yard, Friday, the pas
tor of the family, Rev. S. Chas. Slower
of st. Pauls Reform church, conduct
ing the last sad rites. Peace to his
ashes and consolation to the loved
ones who are left to mourn"

MAINE.

EThirty thousand majority is a pref
ty husky figure. This result in Maine,
following on the heels of similar re-
suit in Vermont, must prove great
heartener for the Republicans. 1t
was fought for. Both parties exerted
| themselves. The Democrats, with no
hope of carrying the state, tried to
reduce and conceded Republican
strength as much as possible, and re-
inforced their local eloquence with
the imported article. The torrential
CUFF of Bourke Cochran was distribute
| ed literally over the commonwealth.
1t was practically all to no purpose
Nothing could stay the tide, which
gathering eight years ago, has been
sweeping on ever since, and still is
high. The figure of Monday, influ-
enced here and there by local squab-
bles, will undoubtedly be raised in
November. when sentiment will be ex-
pressed on national questions alone.
This is the last of the preliminary
skirmishes. Oregon in June and Yer
mont and Maine in these September
days, have recorded themselves heav-
lily against the Democrats. The vote
of Arkansas was light, although it is
scarcely necessary to discuss that.
Arkansas does not know, in the prop
er sense of the term, government by
party. She knows but one party. An
opposition is permitted to go through
the motion of campaign, but would
not under any circumstances be per-
mitted to win at the polls.
We come, then. to the general en-
gagement, which, from now until
voting day, will be waged with ener-
gY. The Democratic leaders do not
try to diguise their difficulties. Lead
ing Democratic newspapers frankly
express their encouragement. Chair
man Taggart is pathetic misfit. 1t
is impossible either to explain or ex-
cuse such selection for a post of
such importance. fractional rows in
Now York haye not been composed. |
Factionalism in Indiana is increasing
to that extent that it is now proposed
to star Mr.. Bryan in the state in an
effort to keep the silver men in line
for Judge Parker's gold telegram.
The sky is overcast.
The Democrats, however, do not
lack for managers of ability, and
they are gathering in New York and
taking stock. Mr.. German, Mr.. Nc
Lean, Col. Guffey and others are
good fighters and have notches on
their sticks. Such a situation as
now exists could not be changed as
late as October 18th. Can it be chang
ed as late as this? Paradoxical as it
may sound, the only hope of the
Democracy seems to be in its present
hopeiessness. If anything can be
done the necessity of it is so plainly
that every mothers son will
buckle down and do his best.

4 HOYES AND VICINITY. (

The Hoyes Grange was very much
delighted with the splendid success
with which they met at the picnic
held here Saturday, Sept. Bird. Large
numbers were present from in and
near Oakland, Accident, Friendsville
and other points, and all seemed to
spend a gala day. The speaking on
manyof the different phases of Grange
work was of an unusual character,
and the music and recitations were
admirably rendered. Rev. Faust of
Georgia, and Rev. Conway of near
here, gave excellent addresses in the
forenoon, and the afternoon the peo-
pie were honored by the privilege of
listening to Prof. A. w. Dewitt of
OF Frostburg, and Prof. H. B. Nc
Donnell of the Department of Chem
istry of the Maryland Agricultural
College, A festival was held in the
evening, and although there was no
financial object in view, there was
handsome sum realized, which will
go toward the further improvement
of the society. May the good works
of the Grange continue. 1t is an i'm
portant factor in the educational
and business interests OF the country
and should receive the support of all.
1t is of special interest to the farmers.
Encourage the farmers. They are the
men who feed the world.

check on Democratic legislation and
appropriation, this later Democratic
administration was completely Dem
ocratic so as to give free play to the
capacity of that party for economical
government.
What was the result? In the four
years of that administration the net
expenses of the Government were less
than they are now and also less than
they were under the administration of
President Harrison, but the revenues
were also less even than the expenses,
1t is not proof of economy when an
individual or a government cuts ex-
penditures to keep within the reve-
nues but the Cleveland Administered
ton did not do that; it borrowed
more than $250,000,000 to meet cur
rent expenses and added that much
to the public debt for future genera
lions topay as the price of Democratic
incompetehcY,
Ihis was the first and only admin
istration since the civil war when
such economy was practiced. Under
Republican administrations, the ex-
penses of the Government have been
kept below the revenue and something
laid by each year for the payment of
the public debt. If Judge Parker
wants to make a comparison of eco
nomical administration, let him take
the years 1894, 1895 and 1896, under
Grover Cleveland, in comparison with
the last three years under President
Roosevelt. In 1894 the net revenues
were $40 per capita; for 1895 the net
revenues were $4.54 per capita; and
the net expenses 1915 per capita; for
1896, the net revenue were $4.65 per
capita and the net expenses 1901 per
capita. That was under compl etc
Democratic administration.
Under President Roosevelt in 1901
the net expenses 1886 per capita. In
1902, the net revenues were S7.11 and
the net. expenses 1896; in 1903 the net
revenues were $6.93 and the net ex-
penses 1926. For each year of the
Democratic administration the peo-
pie are now paying interest on a
public debt created to meet ordinary
expenses at that time, and the Roose-
welt Administration has been saving
the money to pay that debt.

SECOND AMPUTATION NECESSARY.

the great loss of blood so weakened
the wounded man that but little hope
for his recovery was entertained. Con-

Like the running brook, the
we'd blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Columbia Theater.

The third visit Of 1.-The Toreador' to WASH
irgton at this time. with the novelty well
worn away and a company plainly showing
al end-of-the season paucity Of quality
and quantity, gives evidence of the straits
to which the theatrical managers have
been put to furnish satisfactory amuse-
ment during this year Of dramatic dull
ness. The Shubert Brothers, early in the
season, hit upon the very clever idea OF
seIding 1.-The Toreador'' into the western
country with Jefferson DeAngelis in the
role of Sammy Gigg. created in this coun-
try by Francis Wilson. The original com
pany had never toured the western circuit
and the success of the Shubert venture
was most pronounced. Coming back 10
the east however, the production has notE-
ing to commend it other than the name OF
DeAngelis, who has a Following among
lovers of broad comedy amid light and airy
musical surroundings second to none. The
audience at the Columbia Theater last
night was accordingly made up OF the
friends and admirers of this comedian, and
while there was much regret that De-
Argelis was not to be seen in an original
part. there was every indication that the
audience expected enough of individuality
in anything undertaken by him to FUZZY
repay them for their attendance. In this
belief they were not far mistaken, for wh:.e
there are many characteristics written into
the part of Sammy Gigg which must be
played the same by any and every COM
edian undertaking the role, De Angels in
terjected enough of his own personality at
orportune times to give a distinct flavor TO
the little tiger" His nimbleness OF foot
and ability to gracefully skate over any
sort of surface, together with an abundance
os native exuberance. recalled many of his
best bits of work. The hope was constantly
expressed that De Angels might soon again
be seen in an opera written expressly ior
him. Edgar Norton, as Archie. found It
difficult to wholly supplant the impression
left by Joe Coyne in the role. but was soon
in favor with his audience and became one
of the bright spots of the production. VIM.

Lafayette Opera House.

The minstrel show, which was one OF the
most popular forms of entertainment 1or
playgoers of fifty years ago, has not lost
its attractveness to the general public, as
was evidenced last evening by the large
audience that witnessed the performance
of Haverly's- Mastodon Minstrels at the
Lafayette Theater. The show is typical
of it's class and the auditors laughed heart
lily at the jokes of the end men and IN
Dictated their enjoyment of the songs,
dances and other specialties by enthusiast
tic applause. Billy Van heads the array OF
minstrel men, which also includes Eddie
Leonard. Dan Waldron, Eddie Mazier,
George NJ. VAIL and others who have at
tanned to prominent places in the minstrel
world. A large share of the amusement Is
furnished by Billy Van, who sings several
funny parOdies and provokes boisterous
laughter by his droll. melancholy style OF
humor. Eddie Leonard displays his old
time nimbleness of foot and closes the pro-
gram with a diversity entitled I'm the
Moonlight" the attractiveness of which IS
enhanced by scenic effects. An interest,"
ing speciality dance on roller skates by
Marcus and Gartelle was rewarded with
hearty applause and Garden and Somers
scored hit with their xylOphone selec-
lions. Mazier and Conley sang a number
of PAROLES and created considerable amuse-
ment with their comedy which is OF the
slap stick variety. The Young Brothers
contributed an acrObaic turn containing
novel features.
