THIS is A WokPY CHARITY

a number of young ladies of this city
have been soliciting subscriptions to a
fund for the assistance for the unfortu.
nate families of those employees who
were killed and wounded in the terrible
wreck on the Western Maryland Rail-
road on the evening Of June II. Many
of them lived at Thurmont and Catoc-
tin and those places were suddenly
plunged into deepest mourning and de-
lection As many as ninety children
were left fatherless and want stalks
grimly through saddened homes, most
of them without the means to alleviate
it and few with anythings tangible be-
yond limited period The charitable
people of those places have appealed
for aid and Frederick should not be be-
hind in generously sending a substan-
tial sum forsuch pressing need. This
is true charity, upon which the Savior
smiles and for which he sends his bless
ing.
\ few days ago several officials ofthe
I railroad were in Thurmont and Catoc
tin Furnance, looking after the cases
where help is needed There is much
want especially at Catoctin where
many Of the employees killed, lived in
little farm houses in the mountains and
when great necessity exist for the very
essential things of life. Few, if any, of
the men in that locality who lost their
lives in the wreck were members Of the
relief department, and, unless provi-
sion of some character is made for their
relief, much suffering will prevail es-
pecially in winter. Subscriptions, with
money, food or clothing can be sent to
any prominent citizen of Thurmont or
to any official the Thurmout National
Bank. who will see that it reaches the
proper destination.

FUEL, CLOTHING AND FOOD
PRODUCTS MUCH
HIGHER.

You now pay more for clothing, fuel,
bread and meat stuffs than ever before
and the Bureau of Labor has just COM
piled statistics showing in detail the
actual fluctuations in the past fifteen
years. There has been a steady rise in
the wholesale and retail price of the
things we need to eat and there is
heartleSs combination behind this in
crease, which the Government is max
ing bluff at prosecuting. 1t also
claims to be after the Beef Trust, but if
the present condition of things is not
altered, it is likely to b after it always.
But as long as the people pay the price
and vote to keep in power party that
allows such things to be and that by
reason of their principal policy, then
very little is to be said, except show
the figures which tell the tale:
SIN the early nineties prices were
very high, but in the last four years
they have been steadily increasing, un-
til now they are relatively higher than
in 1892, just before the memorable f.
nancial and commercial depression.
The period of lowest prices was from
1894 to 1897.
The lowest price of beef was in April,
1896, when the best choice was quoted
at 1885 to $425 per hundred. The
highest price was in the latter part of
August, 1902, when the price touched
$3.50 to 50 per hundred pounds. Corn
was lowest in 1896 and highest in 1892
I'm table of comparison, i'll whic
the average price for the year 1890 and
1899 is taken as a base, sixteen articles
of farm production, including sheep,
cattle, hay, hogs, hides and grains, are
enumerated. All except fiaxseed have
increased over the average price from
1890 to 1899 The increases for the
prices in 1904 range from rs per cent.
on sheep and 81 per cent. on cattle to
326 on corn, 35.S on oats, 1873 on wheat,
and the top increase of 96.2 on New
IOih Sldle AOpS.
The average increase in 1904 in the
wholesale price of farm products over
the average for the years 1890 to 1899 is
26.2 per cent. OF fifty two articles in
cluded under the head Of food it is
shown that in 1904 the prices of all but
fourteen articles were higher than the
average prices from 1890 to 1899.
Seventy articles under the head of
cloth and clothing show that the aver
age price from 1904 was 9.S per cent.
higher than the average from 1890 to
1899. The table on fuel and lighting
places the average 1904 price al $40 per
cent higher than the 1890 to 1899
price,

THE WHEAT CROP.

The wheat crop of Frederick county
is in condition now to fairly well
judge OF its quantity and quality and it
can be said upon the authority of those
who are up in such. matters that the
crop will only be fair one. Some esti-
mate it at about two-thirds of the aver
age, but that may be found to be too
low. In many places it has been noticed
that the set is very thin and the straw
short, but so far the grain has been
found full and round and of good
quality. The heavy rains lately have
done much to retard harvesting and at
the same time further ripen the already
well ripened wheat. The hot sun fol-
lowing the rains did its share towards
over ripening The farmers seem well
prepared this year for cutting and

ATTORNEY GENERAL MOODY made
one complaint recently which deserves
consideration and even support by the
law abiding people of the country. He
said that with view to preventing an
innocent man from suffering the law
makers had gone to a radical extreme
in placing obstacles in the way of pros
ecuting criminals, or men charged with
crime, and that it was, under existing
statutes matter Of years to merely
bring 10 trial man who was under in
dictment irrespective Of how conclusive
the evidence was. The Attorney Gen
eral referred especially to the case of
State Senator George +. Green of New
York who was indicted more than two
years ago and who is still free awaiting
the decision OF the Supreme Court on
his habeas corpus suit, which decision
cannot be rendered until autumn The
Attorney General bespoke popular sup
port for his recommendation to Congress
that statute beenacted providing that
any person indicted for violation of a
United State statute might be brought
Immediately to the District Of Columbia
for trial without any intervening legal
proceedings He hopes that such
statute will be enacted next session.

A recent order has been issued by
the Treasury Department requiring
that whenever any letter has been sent

anything that requires to be remedied

shall be signed by the director.
This is regarded as a most Statutory
measure and bankers generally COM

that will remove the slightest chance
for any possible irregularities or errors
by well meaning officials and prevent
any one otherwise disposed from vio-
lating the law. The many scandals
In banking circles all over the country
have in most instances come because of
q lack of direct personal interest among
the directors. They have acted only
in perfunctory way and have trusted

McCOMAS A JUDGE.
Appointment to the VACANCY
Created by the Resignation
of Judge Morris.

VI " OOSO n1OII 10
Associate Justice Martin Z
Morris, of the Court of Appeals of
the District Of Columbia, on Mon
day made formal application to
the Department of Justice for re.
tirement and sent his resignation
to the White House. Immediate.
ly after the receipt of the resig
nation the President signed the
appointment of ex Senator Louis
E. McComas, of Maryland, to the
vacancy thus created on the bench
position which the President had
promised to Mr.. McComas some
months ago.
The signing of Mr.. McComay
certificate of appointment took
place five minutes of the receipr
of Justice Morris resignation and
was the last official act of the
President prior to his departure
for Oysrer Bay. The resignation
of Judge Morris takes place TODAY
Friday, June 80. and Senator Me
Conas will qualify as his success
sor tomorrow, Saturday. July |.
This appointment has very
peculiar history-unlike any that
the President has had to deal
with. The President on May 10
announced that he had decided 20
appoint Mr.. McComas to the
bench, but on the same day Judge
Morris complicated matters 6y
stating that he had no intention
of resigning at that time and init
mating that a letter which be had
written to the President on Decem.
Der 10 had been misinterpreted.
On May 20 the President wrote
letter to Judge Morris concern.
ing the alleged premature an
nOuncement, and on the following
day Sunday announcement was
made at the White House to the
effect that Judge Morris has
written the President that his
resignation will be in the Presi
dents hands in accordan :e with
his original lettel." For more
than a month the case was in
stdtu quo until Monday, when the
receipt of Judge Norris reSigua
ton enabled the President to dis.
pose of the case and appoint Mr..
McCOmas.

MCCoMAs has been rewarded for his
political accomplishments by a snug
seat on the District of Columbia Court
of Appeals Bench. Judge Morris,
whose retirement the President sought
to advance, was placed iD peculiar
position some time ago, when letter
to the President was misunderstood
and McComas almost appointed before
he had reliuquished the place Judge
Morris is very justly provoked at what
he termed 1.-The unbecOming," haste I, f
the Ex-senator from Maryland and
says this attitude placed the President
in an Embarrassing position His over
anxiety to get the position also made
him resort to unbecoming attempts to
hasten the retirement of Judge Morris.

rain.

anna Canal will be completed in about
one hundred years at an expenditure
of between $3.50, 900, 600 and 81, 900, OOO-,
600. The total amount of cubic yards
of excavations have been put down at
100, 100000 During the month of
May 10000 cubic yards were dug. At
a conservative estimate, the price, al
lowing for any possible exigency,
placed at fifty cents per yard. For
May it really averaged one dollar.
On this basis of calculating the price

%. There is already a good deal

tility that is believed to exist be-
