as Thomas declared. the fate Of Nash
Vile was really decided.
When it was all over Hood confess
ed that he ought never to have ad-

ence mt Franklin. He felt that 1t would
be fatal to the morals of his army to
retreat southwark from Franklin In
the face Of defeat. He knew that
Thomas was getting re-enforcements
and that he would he outnumbered at
Nashville but thought his own men
would be better satisfied with total de-

At Franklin Hood made dispositions
to buffet the pursuing enemy, but

him to speed his march southwnrd and

At the crossing of the Tennessee riv-

unable to march. Fortunately for
Hood. the Federals were not able to
make rapid pursuit south of the Har-
peth. Wilson's cavalry was entirely
out of ratfons. The densely wooded
hills, muddy roads, the soft plowed
fields rendered quite impossible by re-
cent rains and above all the rapid
rising streams made it impossible for
flanking columns to dash across coun-

Hood. of course. destroyed all the
bridges behind him. making new diff
culties for his pursuers. The country
had often been marched over by both
armies and was denuded of supplies
for both men and horses. The forage

supply trains came forward from Nash

Women's Hair In Japan.

IN Japan, especially in the heart

Woman's Journal, there are women
who wear their hair bobbed like
small boys. This is sign that they
are widows and is done in respect
for a japanese custom of burying
part of the wife's hair with the body
of her husband. Often she cuts oft
just little, not enough to spoil her
pretty coiffure. But when she de-
termines to remain forever true to
his memory she cuts off all her hair
and never again permits it to grow.

Want Charter Extended.

The City franchise of the Fred
erick and Baltimore trolley line
will expire September 9th, 1905,
and unless the company has its
tracks laid in Frederick before
that time and cars running over
them the company will forfeit a
$4,000 bond to the City.
The company, however, has ap-
piled to the Board of Aldermen to
extend its franchise. Some of the
Aldermen we are informed, are in
favor of an extension while some
of them are opposed to it and
want the bond forfeited if the
agreement is not carried out and
another bond given for a larger
sum.
What the directors of the pro
posed road should do would be to
give the Board of Aldermen a
little better evidence of their good
intent to build the line than mere
promises, which pail after repeat
ed doses. and they can be sure of
fair treatment. Frederick wants
the trolley to Baltimore, and is
willing to do it's part. but a bond
is a bond, and the company should
certainly be in a position now to
say something definite, one way
or the other.

Call Attention to Need of Fire
Alarm System.

The subjOined report was sub
mitted to the Board of Alder
men last week, and is a stirring
appeal for perfection of fire
alarm system in Frederick, with
out which.the efforts of the fire
men cannot be in keeping with
the requirements. The report
says:
"We find from our records by
comparison that under the new
system and arrangements of our
company the number of false
alarms have been greatly decreas-
ed, which in themselves were not
only an annoyance, but a detri
ment to the peace an order Of the
city.
eve would ask that your honor
able body cosider and urge the
appointment ola committee chosen
from your body or from the repre-
sentative business men of this city
to confer with a committee from
the three fire companies of the city
to formulate plans to further pro
mote the efficiency and interests
of the fire department and to CON
duct it in manner not only salts
factory to the taxpayers but to
make it a strong protection to
their property.
1--WE recommend the appoint
ment of a chief, with three assis
tants. one from each company,
without salary, and the establish
ing of fire alarm system the only
means of bringing about the de-
sired results for the best interests
of all concerned. By observing
the equipments of cities the size
of Frederick, You will find that
we are very deficient in the modern
methods of fire fighting in this re-
spect and that our department
should at least be brought up to
the standard, by the adoption of
an alarm system. We earnestly
believe that this increased eflici-
cheney could be installed now
with less trouble and expense than
if postponed, Certainly such an
improvement would prove bene-
fl to the department..
Trusting these suggestions
and recommendations will meet
with your prompt and favorable
consideration"
This was signed by the members
of the Standing Committee:
John O. Motter, John Eisen
hauer, f. B. Sappington, Daniel
Ii. Steiner, William NJ. Orimmins.
With this support was submit
ted detailed statement of the
expenditures of the company dur
ing the year, which amounted to
50. 1926. The company receiv-
ed from the city the annual appro-
priation of 81, 600 and special
appropriation of $500 for hose.
The expenditures exceeded the re
ceipts from the city by 81, 262 90.

Quarter of a Cent a Year.

drawn a warrant in favor of Adj
riel L. Stuart, of Freedom, N. FL. :,
for one cent This is Stuart's pay
for carrying the mails for four
years from Freedom to a railroad
station seven and three-quarters
miles away.
He travels this distance of 121
miles six times a week. His pay
is a quarter of a cent year, or
one three hundred and twelfth
part of a cent for one trip.
This is the smallest Treasury
warrant ever issued, and Stuart
will have it framed, instead of
