About Poor Andy and Jack

A Newark friend writes us to learn
the address of Andrew Carnegie and
John d. Rockefeller. Our subscriber evil
IDENTIFY has read about the fat pocket
books of Andy and Jack and has church
in his mind that will not kick about how
Andy ground hard his laborers that he
might accumulate his millions, or how
Jack Rockefeller soaked another cent
per gallon on the poor mans kerosene
every time he gave hundred thousand
dollars to worthy cause. No, our friend
will probably say ''give US thousand
dollars, and no questions will be asked
as to the whencenest thereof" When
Andy took the steamship for Europe
the other day, after dropping ten mil
lion dollars into the laps of college pro-
fessors who get about four dollars day
and spend five, he failed to notify us
where he would spend the summer. No
doubt Wen hear from him, as he failed
to pay his subscription to the MEssEN-
GER before he sailed from the land of
the free and home of millionaires. Still,
we are willing to trust Andy and be-
lieve he will pay up. Can't say so much
for Jack Rockefeller, however, as he is
somewhat pinched at this time, having
spent SO much trying to induce few
spears of hair to peep through his Shin
ing Uranium. We have written our
friend at Newark that Jack Rockefeller
is still chewing his cud at &c Wall street,
New York, and is at home every day at
meal time, as he is compelled to water
his stock and feed the pigs, not being
able at present to indulge in the luxury
of hired man. Some people have circu-
lated the report that Johns stomach is
out of gear. He never denied this story
to us personally. but we saw a state
ment in the newspapers the other day
saying he was enjoying hogs jowl and
turnip greens, and was longing for new
potatoes and string beans.

A Quiet Town Election.

The election for three City Council
man for Snow Hill passed off very
quietly last Monday. There was nc
opposition manifested to the renomi-
nation and reelection of the three re-
firing members, Messrs. George S.
Payne, J. Edward White and DIR. Will
liam d. Straughn, so there was only
one ticket in the field. 78 votes were
cast, one on which DIR. Straughn's name
was marked off and one on which the
names of Messrs. Payne and White
were marked off; thus giving each OF
the candidates " votes.
So far as we were able to ascertain
the taxpayers were willing and anxious
that the present board should have the
privilege of demonstrating their ability
to run the affairs of the town until they
had completed the street improvements,
at least. 1t was equally true that nc
one wanted to step into their shoes al
this stage of street improvements and
run the risk of not pleasing anyone.

HORSE and STABLES BURNED
Mumford's Stables at Showells Go up
in Smoke. MIR. Mumford's Valuable
Driving Horse Burned to Death With
Carriage, Harness etc.

Specialize the MESSENGER
Showells, Md, May AT 2.3O o. clock
Wednesday, morning our people were
aroused from their peaceful slumbers
by the shrill mill whistle to find the
storehouse of Mr.. Charles Mumford
in a bright blaze and the roof falling in.
The light of the confiagration awakened
Mrs. Mumford, who was asleep in her
house near by, and also attracted the
attention of the mill Waterman, who
gave the alarm. The stables was soon
enveloped with flames so completely
that rescue of Mr.. Mumford's valuable
driving horse was impossible, so the
animal persisted in the fire, together
with lot of corn and fodder, a carriage
and sleigh, harness, etc.
But for the fact that there was a
strong southwest wind blowing the fire
must have done an immense amount of
damage by spreading to adjacent build
ings. Mr.. Mumford's loss is about $500.
He had 81. so insurance on the building.
Mrs. Mumford was painfully burned
about the face in attempting the rescue
of the horse from the stables. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it is
thought to have been the work of an
incendiary.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be taken
ont and this tube restored to its normal
conditihn, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh' which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Bitten by a Mad Dog.

Snow Hill has a mad dog scare to
some purpose, as two people at least
haye been bitten by dog undoubtedly
suffering from rabies. The unfortu-
pate ones are Deputy Sheriff Benjamin
II. Hearthway and his son William.
Mr.. Hearthway had small pet dog
which developed symptoms of rabies on
Tuesday and bit Mr.. Hearthway and
Willie. The dog ran around the room
in an aimless manner, swapping at
everything in it, and evidently so blinded
by disease that he could not see, as
he would run plump into the walls of
the room. Before this, the animal was
in the bedroom and jumped upon the
bed occupied by Mrs. Hearthway and
snapped at her several times.
Mr.. Harry Bowen shot the dog Thurs
day morning and it was sent to the
Pasteur Institute for dissection and to
ascertain the danger to which Mr..
Hearthway and his son are subjected.
They went to Baltimore for treatment
this friday morning.
On Thursday several dogs were shot;
it having been reported they were bit
ten by dog afflicted with rabies sever
al weeks ago.
Dogs are too plentiful in Snow Hill
anyway and it would be good thing to
have license law high enough to make
the keeping of so many worthless ours
prohibitive.

DIR. Charles F. Lowndes, of Easton,
has just completed an experiment on
the shrinkage of corn. He has proved
the fallacy of the general impression
that corn losses large percentage in
weight when kept. The doctor on De-
cember LIST, last, placed side by side a
bushel of corn in the ear and also one
shelled. The experiment has been car
ried on for nearly four months, and
! upon weighing it this week the doctor
found that the corn in the ear had lost
but four pounds out of 20 and the shelled
corn had lost one pound, which is less
than two per cent, as bushel of shell.

SELLING FOR A DOZEN PENNIES
Amerlcus is Paying Twelve Gents For
Staple,

Twelve cents, even money, is the
very satisfactory price of fine cotton in
Americas, and the farmer now peck
cts his $50 per bale and feels pretty
we'll thank your. This is the highest
figure reached by "spots" in two years.
and it will be some time before cotton
again goes below that price. While
cotton of average grade lis readily at
IL cents here, the finer grades will
bring II cents and not few sales have
been made at that figure. Some cot
ton continues to come in from the
farms and all of this is being sold at
current prices, but even IL cents fails
to tempt the large farmers here who as
yet have sold none of their cotton.
Several lots Of 100 to $50 bales. owned
by farmers, is still held in Amerlcns
warehouses and will not be sold until
next spring.
