The New Light Plant.

Owing to winter more than usually
rigorous, work on the new plant was
practically stopped early i'll the season,
and the little the company was able to
do neceSSitated much greater labor and
expense.
Yet the company has made an excellent
showing, having put i'll the boiler and
boiler settings and finished the tounda-
tions, ready for the setting of the large
300 horsepower, 4-valve cutoff engine.
This machine has a hy-wheel II feet
in diameter, from which Il 32inch 2 ply
belt runs the large 2jOkilowatt alter
mating dynamo, with a motive capacity
of 1000 sixteen candlepower lamps, or
2,500-lamp capacity above that of the
present plant.
This, the company believes, very many
consumers will appreciate. Those who
have the service will obtain more aud
better lights, and those who have not
will obtain what the company hitherto
has been unable to furnish.
Hence, the broad expectation iS-all
Consumers will get as much light as they
wish and that of the finest quality.
BY putting in the alternating system
the current is SO distributed by the
transformers that, no matter how far
away from the plant consumer may be,
he will receive as much current as
though he lived next door to the power
house-an adjustment which will make
the force and effect of Il bright light
uniform throughout the area of town
service.
Then, by the extension of the alter
mating arlnature shaft and pulley the
motor will run the straight current No.
9 & arc dynamo, 1j-arc lamp capacity
will be generated for street lights, an
ample provision to meet all probable
wants for some time to come.
The JOURNAL is assured by those i'll
interest that they intend to make this
plant as completely upto date lis modern
advancement III electric development
has reached. and to keep it so. They
have carefully computed the probabili-
ties of demand for light and provided
for supplying much more. In doing so
no needful money has been spared and
no expense shirked that might accom-
plish that end.
Already the company has placed n
number of the latest improved arcs on
the streets, and when all goes as pre-
pared for Frostburg Will have as bril-
liant light as can be had. If there be
any lack, il will be i'll the n"mbrr, not
the quality of the illuminators.

chiIdren,s Day Exercises.

Children's Day was appropriately OBJ
served Sunday in the local churches.
At the Congregational church large
class was promoted from the primary
class of the Sunday school to the inter
mediate department. The exercises, in
which the primary department was very
prominent, were held at $3.50 in the
afternoon, and the church was filed
with relatives and friends. Mrs. b. q.
Evens and the teachers had charge of
the exercises.
The auditorium and gallery at the
Baptist church were crowded Sunday
evening and the exercises by the mem
bers of the Sunday school were excep-
tionably well given and interesting
The last number on the program, "The
Song of the Heart" given by nine
young ladies, was one of the prettiest
dialogues ever given in the church.
At the First M. e. church. recitations
and dialogues by the little people were
very pleasing, and the Sunday school
orchestra furnished the music. A young
ladies' chorus drilled by e. +. Lohnes,
occupied the choir loft, while the in
fant department under the supervision
of Mrs. George Lanphere, occupied the
north gallery. The south gallery was
reserved for about one hundred and
twenty-five Juniors of the Sunday
school, who, under the leadership Of
Miss Donna Sherman, gave some beau
tiful selections.

MAIL DELIVERY BOXES.
Patrons Do Not Seem To Understand
The Rules and Regulations Existing.

patrons DO NOT seem TO Under stand
The Rules and Regulations Existing.
Sopas Of the patrons of the rurafsfree
delivery system do not seem to under
stand that only certain kinds of boxes
are permitted by the department at
Washington and they insist upon using
others. This is to their own detriment,
as postmasters and carriers are absolute
lyprohibited from placing mail excepting
in such boxes as are properly authorized.
These instructions will in all cases be
carried out and hence some of the pa
irons may find themselves deprived of
the benefits of the service There are
more than 100 styles of approved boxes,
and the list is displayed in all postoffices,
from which selection may be made, the
patron being entitled to select any one
of the number. But the use of other
boxes will not be permitted
Patrons who put up iron boxes made
by local dealers before any regulations
were adopted by the P. o. department,
are not permitted to use those boxes if
they change routes, neither can the old
boxes be sold to parties residing on the
same route and still be used.
1t must be clearly understood that
neither postmasters or carriers have any
discretion in the matter, but are govern
ed by instructions from Washington,
which must be followed to the letter
