Hotels IN Maryland Towns,

dOUelS III Mdfyldnu IOWQS'
The organization of company
at Frederick for the purpose of
erecting and conducting there a
modern hotel is a sign of real
progress and an undertaking that
will no doubt fill a "long felt
want The demand for modern
hotel facilities in the towns of
the State has grown since the in -
production of the inter urban
trolley lines. One of the most
successful undertakings of recent
years is hotel | tely opened at
Braddock Heights, a mountain
resort four miles west of Fred
erick. The hotel is on a fine pla-
teau at the summit of the Catoc-
tin spur of the Blue Ridge range.
Guests can look from the piazzaS
down the fertile valley of the
MOnocacy on the east or the won
derful wheat raising valley of
Middletown on the West, with
South Mountain and Champions
Gap as added attractions. and
the bold spurs of the Maryland
Heights looming up at Harper's
Ferry. The situation of the hotel
is no doubt a prime attraction,
but the fact that it is modern
and up-tO date in its equipment
and accommodations has also its
weight The old fashioned hos
telgieS that have existed SO long
in many Of the towns of the State
always innocent of bath room
and never capable of providing
any of the comforts demanded
10y the modern tOurist-are grad
ually passing away before the
march of the trolley.
Wherever the new hotels have
been erected they have helped the
towns. Frederick will find this
TO be the case with the new en-
terpriSe contemplated there.
1t is a step in the growth
OF the community of no mean
proportions, and the people will
no doubt welcome it with a feel
ing of proper qualification. The
travelling public certainly will.
Ii there are any towns that have
been slower than Frederick in
acquiring modern hotel facilities,
now is the time to take heart of
hope and follow a very worthy
eXample.-BaltjmOre NeuS.

NEGRO'S PARADISE.

There is no place on this earth

those who arrive have to admit it's
a land of fufilment. The negro

1t is hard to realize that one

noble womanhood should be cut

But God, in His infinite wisdom
and goodness, claimed the tender
plant in all its freshness and
beauty and takes it unto His
own vineyard, there to bloom and

Old Roman Ways.

A rich Roman who married was re
garded as a fool. Unmarried and
without heirs, he was courted by
crowds of sycophants and legacy hunt
ers, who swarmed around him, on the
lookout for gifts during his life or for
legacies at his death. He was an OBJ
ject of attention to and adulation from
all. Each Roman wed with his neigh
bors in his display of wealth. Osten-
tation became a passion. A feast was
not considered success unless the
cost of it was a matter for discussion
by "all Rome" Palaces and villas
were built in the most splendid and
costly style. Beautiful marbles, gold
and silver and precious stones were
lavishly used in order to show the
wealth of the owner Nero had sew
eral rooms in his golden house studded
all over with pearls. Goethe might
we'll term the Romans the greatest par
venus In history.

THE GREAT FAIR.
Society Making Arrangements
for the Coming Exhibition.

for the Coming Exhibition.
The managers of the Frederick
County Agricultural Society are
in the depths of hard work fixing
up the thousand and one details
of arrangement for their forty-tifth
annual exhibition. Mr.. j. Roger
McSherry, the efficient secretary
of the society, has been constantly
at it for several months, ably as
sisted by the other officers and
the Board of Managers. Every
possible want of the public has
been anticipated and considered
and it cannot be doubted that all
will be done to make the coming
fair truly successful one. Its
reputation in the past has been of
the highest and new laurels will
be added this year.
The premium list has been re
vised and improved. the racing
department carefully looked after,
the dog show promises better re-
suits than ever before and so on
throughout the lengthy list.
The poultry exhibit gives promise
of being better than ever and
many Improvements as to cleanli-
ness and ventilation have been
made. This is an important point
and is carefully considered by
breeders who wish TO take no risks
with valuable fowls.
The amusement feature has been
we'll handled and already there
are many attractions secured. Be
sides these, which will be free to
the public, many side shows, etc,
have applied for space. More de-
tails will be given later of what the
society is doing to make the great

Roosevelt Regarded as the
Only Hope

A dispatch from st. Peters
burg of recent date says: The
attitude assumed by President
Roosevelt in the peace proceed
ings at Portsmouth and his re-
ported offer to mediate in order
that the conference may not fail
is the sole object of discussion
here. Public opinion now places
all hope of avoiding a disagree
ment in the President.
The belief is entertained that a
failure of the negotiations would
affect the international prestige
of the Uuited States, and it is
argued that President Roosevelt
naturally wishes to avoid this.

BUSY CANNING CORN.
Frederick Plants Now Running
to Their Full Capacity.

The canning industry, which
has in recent years become such
an important business in this city
and county, is at the height of a
busy season this week. BY actual
count the other day there were
AS four horse wagon loads of corn
standing on South Street await
ing their turn to drive into one or
the other of the big plants.
Each night team after team
passing up and down Market
street. awakens the echoes in the
still hours then and even in the
early morning hours. such a rum
bic do they make. No one objects
because 1t is a sound of business
activity, in this way we differ
from the years when the B. & o.
main line was kept out of the city
for fear that the noise would dis
turb the slumbers of the people.
At the plant of the Frederick
Clty Company the output for some
days past has been 70 cans of corn
per minute. The Monocacy Val.
ley Company, which is. perhaps,
the largest establishment of its
kind in the country, is running
800 hands, and on Saturday last
put up 10000 cans of corn. The
yield of sugar corn in Frederick
county this season measures up
fully to the average.
The Colt & Dixon Company is
rushed to the limit and although
ayoung concern, is doing it's share
in using up the great corn acreage
in this county.
At Buckeystown, Adamstown,
Walkersville and Wood boro
where in recent years large can.
neries have been established, they
all seem to be stocked up with
work.

CENSOR OF POSTCARDS.

Allegheny Official Says That
He Confscates so to 100

Postmaster John Francis, of
Allegheny, for the last month has
been acting as censor for picture
postal cards and has confiScated
about 900 of them, il talking of
the matter, he said:
"Many of the picture postal
cards received in this Office are of
such a nature that it is impossible
to send them to the parties ad-
dressed. This does not refer mere
" to those mailed at the Allie
gheny office. but those received
from elsewhere. Many of these
are addressed TO prominent per
sons, and some of them are mailed
by persons equally prominent, who
conceive that the sending of snch
a card is funny.
This class of mail matter.
however, has become so degener-
ate that it constitutes an infringe
ment of the postal laws. After I
had begun the confiscation of such
pictorial cards and forwarded
them to Washington | received a
letter from the First Assistant
Postmaster General, vino com
mended me for my initiative and
requested me to continue the good
work. This is being done at the
rate of contiscating from 80 to
100 cards daily.
"If such cards fail to reach
their destination it need not be
thought by the sender that they
have got lost in transmission. On
the contrary, it is because they
are III such bad taste that it is
simply impossible to allow them
to go through. With regard to
those coming from places outside
of Allegheny, Atlantic City is
one of the worst offenders, while
st. Louis and Philadelphia and
Chicago are not far behind. All
such cards, just as those mailed
here, are confscated on reaching

drugs and drink are fast working
the undoing of many of the race
