The letter below, recently written by
Mrs Antoinettc Suter, secretary of the
Children's Fresh-Air Society, of Balti-
more, to Mrs, John Hart, of this place,
speaks for itself:
Nh Dear Mrs. Hdrt-LaSt wear we sent To

We desire to send again this year as many

modatiOnS for them
Will you take up tins matter again among
your people and let us hear from YOU?
We hope to send many poor girls and boys
away this summer, and want As many free
homes as is possible to secure.
If there was any cause for complaint last
year Will you let me know it?
We wish always To please those who so
kindly entertained the children.
When you look for these homes will YOU
find out lust the time that suits your people
best To- entertain the girls and let me know
that We may work successfully together?
Hope soon To hear from you that YOU will
assist us again III our work.
Mrs. Hart is anxious to help this
charity along, and she can be materially
aided by all of like kindness who will
inform her fully of what they can do i'll
the way of entertaining the little ones
1t is said of many of those entertained
here last summer that "when the time
came for them to return they didn
want to leave Frostburg
Decide on giving more an opportunity
to enjoy a brief season of fresh air, pure
water and mountain scenery. Then see

the political situation as it appears now,
having reference mainly to the Sheriff
atty and State Senate.
The feeling of the people very strongly
favors Hamilton for Sheriff. They
know that he has spent his hard earned
money to secure the office ON two diff
ferent occasions, and on this account it
will be safe to predict that he will get
the largest vote next fall that ever was
polled i'll Frostburg for any one candi-
date
For the State Senate three candidates
are mentioned-D. Lindley Sloan, David
f. Dick and A. A. Doub-three good
men, and any way the die falls will suit
me.
As to David-his present position,
worth $1,000 a year, will prove "a seri-
Gus handicap to his ambition. 1t looks
like he Is claiming too much.
Fair play Is going to cut wide swath
from now on. just watch the dice.
For the Senate A. A. Doub is the
strongest man here with both miner and
business man. He is strong in every
part of the town. He surely must have
done some good work up here, or has
many strong friends at work for him.
