The warmest weather Of the season
was felt here during the past week,
but frequent showers still continue and
little progress has been made by the
farmers in their hal vest of hay.
William Ralston, who has been visit
ing his old home near this village for
about month, started from here last
Sunday moaning for Latrobe, Pa,
where he will enter the employ of a
coal mining company Of that region.
Rev. Shoup was called to Jennings on
Thursday evening, July 18th, to officiate
at the marriage of Mr.. Leonard Shaw,
of Jennings, to Miss Ada Patience Hol-
Ter, of BoyntOn, Pa. The ceremony
was quietly performed at the home of
Mr.. May, an uncle of the bride, and
was a surprise to many friends of the
young people.
Miss Ida RalstOn who spent the last
few weeks with her sister in Cumber-
land, returned to her home here last
Friday aftel loOn.
On last Friday afternoon when Pat
terson Engle was driving into his barn
with load of hay on wagon the sleep
ers supporting the bridge gave way
precipitating the team in to a shed be-
low, but fortunately very little damage
was done to the horses but the damage
to the wagon andIharness was consider
able.
Miss Mary Latfey, of Frankville, is
the guest of Miss Ida Ralston this

WILLIAM TRAVERS JEROME.
New York's Famous District Attorney
Spent Tuesday at Deer Park.

- Mr.. William Travers Jerome, district
attorney of New York, who said Tues
day that now that he had a va cation, he
intended to enjoy it fully, completed the
Southern end of it Tuesday night at
Deer Park, the famous resort on the
summit of the Alleganies. Mr.. Jerome
and his assistant, Mr.. Gal van, left late
the same night over the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad for New York. Mr.. Je-
rome, however, intends to be away from
his Office until about August l.
Mr. Jerome was adverse to talking
politics. He said that he had never af-
filiated with politicians and as a conse-
quence he knew little of their ways and
wiles. He had all his life been with the
man who "goes it alone"
Mr.. jerome, while among party of
friends, was asked about the signifi-
canoe of his trip South. He said:
Neither my trip South nor my visit
here has the slightest political signif-
cation. l went to Georgia because
felt highly honored and complimented
by the invitation of my professional
brethren to address the Bar Association
of that state. And l went to Alabama
to .visit the home of one of my assis-
tants of whom l was very fond and who
was on his way home to spend his vaca-
ton. Ny assistant, Mr.. Garvan, had
been for a long time singing to me the
praises of Mr.. McGraw who was an old
friend of his and when Mr.. McGraw in
sisted upon our stopping off on our way
home and spending day with him,
was only too glad to do so, especially
as it gave me an opportunity to see an
extremely beautiful section of the coun-
try which never before had seen.
'It seems to me extraordinary that
any effort is made to give political color
to my trip, | can only account for it
by assuming that the heat of the sum-
mer has entirely destroyed the sense of
humor which left behind me when
NCllI hONGlIs
On the green in front of the famous
Deer Park Hotel Col McGraw, who is
the recognized Democratic leader in
West Virginia, and his guests, Messrs.
Jerome and Caravan, INDUCED in "school-
boy play" The sport they liked most
~yas wrestling "catch-as-catch-can. -
d. Caravan, of splendid physique, tri-
>dnphed over both. In falling Col. Nc
Graw twisted his ankle and he is oblig-
ed to limp.
Col, McGraw at his cottage gave a
dinner in honor of his distinguished
guests. Col. McGraw now owns what
was once the summer home, with its
broad acres, of ex-senator Henry G.
Davis, former Democratic vice-presi-
dent candidate.
Ameng the guests was Mr.. LloyG

The OLD NATIONAL ROAD.

James Ban Taylor, in the Ohio Magazine.
The old National Road! What play
of romance
Is called up by the name! and the
shadows advance
From their coiners obscure at the back
Of the stage,
AId evolve into shapes-into scenes of
an age
Whose sweet graces We're too quaint
and homely to last,
Ard are gone with the roses and rue
of the pastl
Let the bard, to the strains of his Tyre,
frame an ode
To that Highway of Hop the cid
National Road!
From the sweet smelling Maryland
meadows it crawl"d,
Through the forest primeval, Ger hills
granite walled;
On and up, up nd on, till it conquered
the crest
Of the mountains-an would away
into the West,
Twas the Highway Of Hope; And
the pilgrims who trod
1t were Lords of the Woodland and
Sons of the Sod;
And the hope of their hearts was to
win an abode
At the end-tha far end of the National
Road
The old National Road! 1t stretched
on-ever on,
Toward that land where humanity's
vanguard had gone;
Past the spring on the mountain, the
riil in the dale
By the hut on the hillside, the inn in
the vale.
And the beings it loved and the people
it knew
Were rrtutorcd and primitive, kindly
and true;
End the face Of the midsummer sun
ever glowed
With a smile for the faithful old Ma
tional Road.
From the foot Of the mountains still
westward it trailed
Till the footprints of settlements fall
tered-and failed;
Under skies that were clustering,
skies that were bland,
Over turbulent streams that no bridge
had e'er spanned,
But the Rainbow of Promise; and ended
its quest
Where the birds and the brooks of Ohio
sang "Rest."
Equal chances and favors for allr'
was the code
OF the open and honest old National
Road.
The old National Road! In the heat
and the cold
There the emigrant's canvag-t topped
vehicle rolled;
Twas a great Conestoga- wheels
groan-ng sore
Of the journey they made and the bur-
den they bore.
Uncomplaining the lark oxen swag
gered and swung,
Under yoke, at the sides of the teet-
ering tongue;
And the family COW, poor and patient,
was towed
At the end Of a rope-down the Ma
tiOnal Road.

VALUABLE COAL DEPOSITS FOUND
Penn-Garrett Coal Mining Company
Uncover a Vein of Six Feet.

That the Penn-Garrett Coal Mining
Company, chartered by the Legislature
of Maryland at its last session to OPP
crate in the Lower Youghiogheny coal
basin is about to become a factor of
great Importance in the business COM
mUnity of Garrett county is an assured
fact, and that the gentlemen in control
of the affairs Of the coal concern are up
to-date and know what they are doing
is fully evidenced by the results already
achieved within the short time since
work was commenced.
Two mines have been opened in the
lower siT-foot or ''split-siX" vein, and
both haze reached the point of develop
ment y here the company is prepared to
ship the output. A third mine is well
under way End will be putting out coal
for shipment within the next ten days
from the upper siX-foot or Davis
Vein. " This latter has been splrng as
suite surprise by the manager of the
company upon his associates and the
community at large as no one suspected
that a vein of such dimensions was in
existence pHtil last Thursday when two
men were set TO work with pick and
shovel and within . few hours the
Davis Vein" was exposed to view,
showing six feet of coal. At the time
of going to press this mo- hing we LEAN
by telephone that this mine is in a dis
lance Of forty feet and shows four feet
of coal in the lower bench with part
ing of eight inches of slate, with two
feet of coal in the upper bench.
The character of development work
being done by this company speaks well
for its management and is evidence of
the fact that they mean business as no
other better or more substantial de-
velopment work has ever been done by
any coal company.
The so-called "split-six" vein, in
which work was first started by the
Penn-Garrett Company seems to be a
valuable piece of coal heretofore over
looked in this county as the opening
made by the local conce, ! shows tt zee
and a-half feet to four feet Of a very
superior coal, with an upper two-foot
bench of standard soft coal. In addi-
ton to the NO veins above mentioned
trial drift has been driven some thirty
feet in the Thomas or Upper Freeport
vein, showing thee and a-half feet of
splendid coal
With this work well started and pros
poets Tightening every day it is contin-
ued the tow is of Ffiendsville end Ken
dali are entering upon period of pros
perity and growth never heretofore an
ticipated admits of no argument and
that Garrett county has another bust
ness enterprise under way that means
much for every resident of the county
/ is matter for congratulation.
The Penn-Garrett Company has al
ready completed a boarding house for
its employees. 1t is built along lines of
modern style and is equipped with read
ing rooms, wash room and other nee
essary conveniences for the men en-
gagged at the mines, being erected with
view to their comfort. The company
also has under way twenty-five double
dwelling houses, besides tipples, sta
bles, workshops and other buildings
which are necessarily a part of well
equipped mining plant.

SHOULD OAKLAND HAVE
A KINDERGARTEN ?
This Paper Believes One Should Be
Established Here.

kindergarten methods fer training
children of all ages have been success
full wherever tried and there is no rea-
son why Oakland should not have such
a school to be open for at least six
months and probably eight months,
each year.
The matter has been given considera-
bic thought by this paper and has been
discussed at some length by people in
terested in the establishment of such
an educational enter prise in our midst
aud with the encouragement due from
the residents of the town and communi-
ty there is but little doubt of its success
should the school take definite shape.
The system of kindergartens for
children or even adults is means of
self-eXpression rather than a mechani-
cal application of facts and fancies and
the people of Oakland should realize
that this is the very best preparation
Of their children for future school life;
and, indeed, for all life.
In furtherance of this idea The Re
PUBLICAN takes pleasure in making an
nouncement Of a free talk on the
kindergal ten and its methods to be given
on August 3rd at 7 o'clock in the even
ing by Miss Susan Plessner Pollock, in
College Hall, at the Park, to which all
are invited. Miss Pollock stand high in
the kindergarten work Of the county
and we t. Ist that the people or Oakland
who are interested in the establishment
of such school here viii be present in
large numbers.

Fire-Escapes for SchoolhouSes.

The late General Assembly conferred
upon the State Fire Marshal the au-
thority to inspect public buildings out
side of the city of Baltimore, such as
school houses, churches, opera houses,
theatres, hospitals, asylums, public
halls, factories, hotels and other build
ings of like character, and to compel
the owners to provide such fre-escapes
as the Fire Marshal shall direct. State
Fire Marshal Lloyd 7. McGill, Jr., has
started to put the law into force. This
week he visited the schools at Laura

county, and will soon direct the county
commissioners to place fre-escapes on

Turning 20 Bryan.

It is through the senior republican,
organ of New York that prom
inent member" OF the conservative
Democratic club OF that city is quot
ed as below. but there Is no reason
to question either the prominence OF
the member ar the accuracy of the
quotation
Unless Hearst should rnu away
with the organization before 1908,
you II see the conservative democrats
OF this city supporting Bryan for the
nomination two years hence. Bryan
has become less radical and could be
counted on to give a good admins
tration II he should be elected, while,
on the oethr hand, the conservative
democrats, and, for that matter, re-
publicans, are willing to go a good
deal further along radical lines than
they were in 1896 or 1900 While
Hearst Is a man of capital, he is too
much of socialist TO suit conserva-
tive democrats, and, for that reason,
more than for any other, they will
oppose him. Bryan, on the other
hand, while good deal of radical,
has been broadened by study and
travel aud observation, and could
be trusted by the men in the demo
cratic organization who opposed him
before to run things sensibly II he
sboud be elected president.
