tree, which stood opposite the pres

Mr.. Charles Alexander. On this

DANIEL FRANCIS CAREY.
"a Leading FARMER of Garrett County
Passes to His Reward.

= 1So6tfsf3 - W. VI 0ai GU IL ~
Passes TO His Reward.
Mr. Daniel Francis Carey died at
his residence about seven miles from
Grantsvllle, in Garrett county, Md,
at three o'clock on Tuesday morning
of this week. He had been confined
TO his room and bed since last July,
but death came to him peacefully and
calmly. He was stricken with no dis
ease, but his death was due mainly to
old age, having nearly reached the
advanced age of about eighty five
years.
He was a pioneer farmer of that
part of the county and was in his day
a prominent citizen, highly respected
and noted for his honesty, sobrietv
and charity. He resided on the home
stead which he founded, for nearly
sixty years, and no way-farer, friend
or acquaintance ever entered his gates
without being cheerfully received and
showered with genuine Irish hospital
ity.
When about twenty years of age he
took st. Matthew's Temperance pledge
at st. Patrick's church, Cumberland,
Md, from the first pastor of that par
ish, the Rev. Father Obermeyer, and
from that day to the day of his death
he never broke that pledge, and his
strictly temperate habits were shin
ing example to all with whom he
came into contact.
Mr.. Carey was a native of County
Mayo, Ireland, the son Of Daniel and
Elizabeth Carey, and came to this
country with his parents when only
19 years OF age, and settled at Carey,
Ohio, but in his early youth he came
to Maryland, where he has eyer since
resided.
Mr.. Carey sprung from an ancient,
noble and distinguished Irish family,
being descended from the CAROLS, of
Kings County, Ireland, the Lotus
family, of Long Lotus, in Ireland,
and the famous Carey family of Huns
don. A number of his ancestors dis
tinguished themselves as patriots in
Ireland's cause in the memorable war
of SO, where the loss of their fortunes
and the cause for which they bravely
fought was the only reward of their
bravery.
Mr.. Carey reared a large family on
the homestead, which he founded,
most OF them survived him. They are
Mr.. E. J. Carey, of Springfield, H.;
Mr.. J. Owen Carey, of Pocahontas
county, w. Va; Mrs. Rose A. Calvin,
of Cumberland, Md, Messrs. Thomas
and James Carey, Miss Carey, and
Mrs. Hugh Mcmahon, of Garrett
county His wife died about seven
years ago.
His funeral took place this morning
at 1890 o'clock when solemn re-
QUEEN high mass was said over his
remains in st. Michael's Catholic
church at Frostburg, and interment
was made IN the cemetery connected
with the church, where a few years
ago he erected family monument.
He was quite well-to-do, having left
much valuable real estate. His farms
are among the most beautiful and
fertile in the county. During his de-
Ginning years and especially since he
became helpless in the past eight
months he has been tenderly cared
for by his children, Mrs. Calvin, of
G cumberland, Mr.. Tom, Miss Carey
and Mrs. Mcmahon and several grand
children being present at his bedside
when death came. - Cumberland

BIDS FAIR TO REVOLUTIONISE
GAS ENGINES
RAPID CITY MAN the INVENTOR
The Story of an Invention that Re.
quired Over Fifteen Years
Of Study and Labor
sTHE OLD.

Anyone who has ever run gasoline
engines know there is nothing more
exasperating than one that gets on
q rampage. We remember calling
in an expert" one time to prescribe
for bucking engine. After he had
looked wise for a time, then attempt
ed to start it, we enquired: "What
do you think is wrong with it any
way?" He looked still wiser and re-
piled: Young man, gasoline engines
are peculiar creatures. When they
stop, we wonder why in HI they
don't 60, and when they start we
wonder what in ID makes them. y
While that mans expression might
be subject to criticism an intimate
acquain lance with several Of the best
makes of engines has convinced US
that he knew as mnch about gaso-
line engines as any man we ever
saw. Elk.

rod and crank which are skillfully
concealed on the interior in an air
tight chamber, thus excluding all
dust. The governing qualities will
not vary two per cent from full
load to zero, while an important fact
is that it governs the mixture of the
oil and air.
The expense attached to it's work
ing hours is the minimum of all vet
heard of. Kerosene, nome explosive,
as compared to gasoline, furnishes
the power and the engine will not
use in excess Of onehalf gallon per
horse power in a ten hour run. The
weight will average about one fifth
OF the gasoline engine per equal
horse power. The exhaust of the
engine will not exceed the exhaust
on steam engine of equal strength
and is very mild compared to the
gasoline engine without muflles.
The stationary type OF the engine is
certainly the most neat and COM
pact we have ever seen. The small
est model engine developes fully the
three-fourths horse power credited
, to it and will not weigh over forty
pounds. Mr.. Charles has type of
engine for use on vehicles, automo-
biles, railroad motor cars. ETC.. that
is air cooled and which will certainly
be boon to the motor car enthusi-
asst. The engine is now complete
and Mr.. Charles has an eight horse
power running in his foundry, SO
there is no question at all of the
practicabilty, in fact it combines
simplicity, durability, economy,
close governing and high speed.
What more is there to be desired
Covered over by patents the ma.
chine is fully protected and now Mr.
Charles willingly shows and explains
its workings to the caller. In few
months, at least, when plans are
more definitely formed the actual
manufacture OF the engine will
commence and the shops will be
located in Rapid City.

THE NEW.

To anyone who can solve the ques,
ton OF gasoline engines there is
waiting a fortune of untold magni-
tude. BY common consent this
has been a foregone conclusion for
many years and at last the question
has reached solution. Gasoline
will disappear and the cheapest OF
the class, kerosene, will take it's
place. When Edison reproduced
the human voice, the people were
waiting to be shown. They have also
been waiting to be shown how to run
a gas engine without gasoline, that
will explode every revolution, that
will bear horse power many times

engine used heretofore without oil
