ANOTHER BANK CHARTER ISSUED.
r First National of KitzmilIers-
Ne, Authorized tO,Begin Business.

Within the past two weeks two char
tiers for that many banks to be located
at charlottesville issued by the Comp
troller of the Currency at Washington,
applications having been filed in his Of
flee for the establishment of the Blaine
National Bank Of Kitzmillersville about
ten days ago, and on last Friday a char
ter was issued to the First National
Bank, also of charlottesville.
The charter of the Blaine National
was applied for by persons outside the
county and that of the First National
by purely county people. The proba-
bilities are that but one bank will open
for business at MISUNDERSTANDING
First National-which is backed by cit
liens and business men of Blaine and
charlottesville and the country people
living in that community. The stock
for the latter is all subscribed and held
by Garrett countians with but one or
two exceptions, while that of the Blaine
National, if established, will be con-

COL. PEARRE is ENDORSED.
Washington County Convention In
StruCts Delegation for Him.

A harmonious Republican County Con-
vention to elect delegates to attend the
Congressional Nominating Convention,
to be held in Frederick on July 3, was
held at noon Tuesday in Hose Hall,
Hagerstown.
Resolutions favoring the denomination
of Col. George A. Pearre were adopted,
and delegates were selected with the
understanding that they are to use all
honorable and proper means to that end.
Charles D. Wagaman, chairman of
the Republican State Central Commit
tee for Washington county, called the
Convention to order. DIR. V. NJ. Reich
ard of Fairplay was elected permanent
chairman, and George T. Prather of
Clear Spring secretary.
Before retiring Mr.. Wagaman set at
rest rumors to the effect. that he had
his eye on the Congressional nomination
by stating his position. He said the
impression was abroad that he was en-
deavoring to secure control of the dele
gates from Washington county, but he
had not at any time attempted to influ-
ence any man against Colonel Pearre or
in favor of himself He said Colonel
Pearre has not warmer friend in the
district than himself, and he desired to
correct the impression that he is an
aSnirant for the Illumination in Or10Si-
tifn to Mr.. Pearre.
The statement of Mr.. Wagaman, it is
believed, does not remove him from the
range of the nomination. Many Repub-
licans here think that if Colonel Pearre
fails to carry his own county, another
man might be more acceptable, and
they look to Mr.. Wagaman as being the
strongest and most suitable person.

Negroes From Frostburg Arrested on
Robbery CHARGE.

Sheriff Hamilton yesterday arrested
in !Frostburg two negroes who gave
the names of George Washington and
William Jennings, who answered exact
ly the description of the two negroes
wanted in Oakland, Garrett county, for
assaulting and robbing John Huff, an
old horse dealer from Virginia, while
the latter was on his way to his camp
near Oakland. The old man was walk
ing along the road when joined by the
negroes and when the trio reached a
lonely spot on the road one of the ne
groes knocked him down and they rob
bed him of $97, leaving him in an I'M
conscious condition. The Garrett coun-
ty authorities came down for the ne
groes this morning.
The robbery occurred on June 9Th,
and Garrett county officers traced one
of the negroes to Frostburg and the
other as far as Cumberland. The men
had very little money on them when ar
rested and professed ignorance of any
recent assault or robbery. Cumberland

On Ceylon there are the native Sing
galese and the Tamils from Hindustan:
they speak different dialects and the
Tamil men keep the front half Of their
heads shaved.
The few Mohammedans wear the red
cap or ''fez" which marks the faithful
Moslem from the Philippines to Nc
rocco.
The people here are the most unique,
the most persistent beggars that Iyhave
seen. Here are some examples of their
methods:
I. We saw an old man lying fiat On
the sidewalk in the hot sunshine call
ing loudly or praying, perhaps, for aims.
III. Children plucked flowers from the
roadside and handed them to US; this we
thought very nice but when they;held
out their hands for something" we
understood; they got the coppers but
soon being besieged by children and
bombarded with flowers we were obliged
to whip up the sleepy bull which drew
our cart, and escape.
3. A man volunteered the informa-
ton that certain temple nearby was
Buddhist and contained ansimage of the
god Vishna; we thanked him;'and he
held out his hand saying GIVE me
something"
The front of the temple was covered
with carved images, animals, getc., and
we walked over to look at it; the at
tendant opened the door andilet:us look
in but would not allow usito senter. We
saw his godship, looking very black and
fierce, sitting by lighted candle in his
little dingy temple. As we turned
away the doorkeeper said, "Give me
something"
4. At market which, we visited
some Of our partyi werei admiring a
naked black baby about one year of
age, and Mr.. Pucket unwisely put a
copper q cent U. S. into itsshand; the
news soon spread and within two min
utes we were surrounded:bys mothers
with babies in their arms If Tyou
looked at a native he Immediately held
out his hand for Something"
Being Sunday most, of: Ethe large
European business houses were closed,
but the natives We're working as usual;
there are many bazaars where beautiful
silks and jewels are sold, and the mer-
chants seem anxious TO sell, Inviting
you in "only to see' assyou pass, hut
they AJAX a stranger two or three times
the value of an article and.as we did
not know the real values we were eau
tious about buying.
tsp, m. we sailed for Alden.
1t, is sometimes necessary for a
stranger "to look twice" at a native
here in order to be sure whether it is
male or female, because. they both wear
long hair and both'wearEskirts.
We watched some large boys dress
ing after a swim in small lake; each
wore gee string, and when he came
out of the water he got into.a sort of
sack open at both ends, whichshe fas-
tened at the waist; this was:his skirt.
He wore neither shirt nor hat, and went
merrily down the street with his COM
panions, who were similarly arrayed.
The laboring men wear only short
skirt. Girls wear short tight white
cotton waists. without cOrSetS Fill
Pine girls, on the other hand, wear
their waists loose.
Some Colombo girls are pretty but
not so pretty as Filipino girls because
the former are so much darker skinned.

matter of a labor temple. A commit

along the lines laid down until some
thing better is offered. The chief idea
now is to have something tangible to
work on.
The matter of non-attendance of
delegates was again taken up, and 1t
was decided to Immediately inaugurate
the plan of notifying each affiliated
union of every absence Of affiliated
delegates. The attendance has been
very unsatisfactory for some time, and
as result the work that the central
body could do, and is expected to do,
has remained undone

BRYAN TALKS STRAIGHT.

Iaborers Mean.

Tells the Chinese Just What American
Laborers Mean.
According to, Hong Kong papers,
Bryan was entertained by the Chinese
merchants at dinner and declared in
speech that the. American people
would never consent to repeal of the
exclusion laws. One of the Chinese
merchants at the dinner reported the
pers. He quoted Mr. Bryan as declar-
ing that the labor party was so strong
in the United States that Chinese
workmen, skilled or unskilled, would
never be permitted to enter, and as
drawing a gloomy picture of what
would happen to American workmen
if the Chinese were allowed to take
away their employment. This inform
ant said that, while Mr.. Bryan had
agreed to support number of changes
proposed by the American merchants
of Hong Kong, he had not been able
to draw from the American leader any
definite assurance of support of the
policy which the Chinese would insist
upon as the only condition on which
the boycott would be withdrawn.
After Mr.. Bryan's speech the Chi
nese became convinced that congress
would not adopt the changes recon-
mended by the American merchants
and that their best policy was to put
on the boycott screws tighter than
ever.

THE QUESTION OF ICE.

Looks Like a Boost in Prices for the
CONCEALED Product.
Right now it looks very much like a
big boost in the price of ice during the
coming summer Practically no ice
was stored during the winter, and the
sources of supply are limited to the
artificial product and what may be
shipped in from the far north. In
either event the price will soar up
wards.
If enough for storage purposes had
been put up the price of the domestic
product would not be badly inflated.
But as it is there is every evidence
that people who must have ice will be
forced to dig up about any old price
the manufacturers or shippers want to
demand.

STiLL UNFAIR.
Lincoln Hotel Bar Has No House Gard
in Sight.

Lincoln Hotel Bar Has No House Gard
in Sight.
Attention has been called several
times to the fact that the bar in the
Lincoln hotel is on the unfair list.
This bar used to be fair, but for some
reason or other the men on duty neg.
lected and refused to pay their dues
and became suspended. On one occa-
sion, when an effort was made to get
them squared up it is reported that
they said: We'll, this bar is patron
lied by travelling men and politicians
and they care nothing about union
cards" The inference was, of course
that if the house card didn't help them
the bartenders were not sufficiently
union to keep in good standing.
The management OF the Lincoln ho
tel has been asked to help get the bar
squared up, but have refused. When
told that unless something was done
the bar would have to be advertised as
unfair, one Of the managers said
sneeringly:
well, l guess we can stand that"
Undoubtedly. The Lincoln Hotel
Co. has pot of money, and it car
oppose organized labor long while
But will it pay? The Wageworker fol
various reasons would like to see the
Lincoln hotel bar squared up. II
would look good, would help all con
cerned, and prevent any misunder
standings and troubles.

"doings" if the boy doesn't exchange
his overalls within the next week.
Without taking the trouble to in
vestigate the correctness of your state
ment. and admitting that all you say
is true, the offense against the prin-
ciple OF legitimate organized labor is
SO Insignificant as compared with
other offenses, which you seemingly
neglect to mention in your paper, that
comparison seems ridiculous.
few months ago there was an
other pressman working for the Wood
rnff-Collins Printing Co., who not only
cifrried union card but was at the
time or shortly prior president of the
rressmen's union. He was loud in his
praise of organized labor and doubt
less loyal in his selection of union
made goods, but he skipped out be-
tween two days, as it were, leaving a
lunch of creditors to mourn his alb
ssnce. man thus organized can af-
ford to buy the best of everything,
and, perchance he; is refused credit,
the alternative Of crying down "scab"
goods is his stock-in-trade. Did The
Wageworker ever comment on this
particular instance? If SO I have over
looked it,
The same party referred to went to
hi;, employers, and, with pitiful tale,
was advanced money for a period of
ten days. The money was spent in
saloons and brothels and before the
expiration of the ten days drew out
his union card. left his employers in
the lurch, and has not been heard from
since. Did The Wageworker ever
mention the injustice or unfairness of
this circumstance? Not to my knowl-
edge. The officers of the pressmen's s
union were notified Of the facts in due
time and were asked not to issue this
man Il travelling card, but the plead
ings we're in. vain, and he went forth
fully equipped for exploiting other
fields.
The Wageworker cannot plead ig.
norance to these facts, standing as it
does as the champion and mouthpiece

The present law is all right just as it
stands The proposition for it's amend

exploit China and willing to secure
the. opportunity by sacrificing the in
terests Of American workingmen.
