The DelOlds' Home.

Reno S. Harp, who is the counsel FOR
Frederick and John Debold has been tc
the Debold home in the mountain and OBJ
tanned plat of the land where the crime
was committed. 1t will be remembered
that Frederick Debold is charged with
killing Edward Smith, while he was pick
ing black berries, and John was acces,
sorry to the murder. Both are now in the
Frederick Jail.
Mr.. Harp found the Debold's home tc
be in small log house on the summit Of
a spur Of the Catoctin mountain. Prim-
tive conditions exist. The house is sit
uated at Fan almost inaccessible point
overlooking Harbaugh's and Eyler's Val
leys, and the surroundings indicate pow
erty. Mrs. Debold sells garden produce
to the cottagers in the vicinity of Buena
Vista Hotel. Before she leaves home she
puts her two small children, aged about
2 and 3 years, in a large store box under
a tree, and they remain there until she
returns home in the evening. A boy OF
10 years watches the children and the
cattle. The reason for this carefulness
is said to be that some time ago an at
tempt was made to blow up the building
with dynamite, and Mrs. Debold has
been in fear since that the attempt may
be repeated -Neps.

A resident of Connecticut has re-
Gently invented a metal belt made OF
a number of spring loop links spaced
by elastic drag links, and connected
by diamond-shaped stay rods, form
ing what is known as a knife edge"
or scale point" There being no
sliding movement, it cannot wear out
and needs no oiling. Because of the
nature of its construction, the belt
can be built up to any length or width
"A very important feature Of the new
system. The inventor claims that
his belt will always retain its elastic
ity, and never require to be taken up,
as is the case with leather and its
substitutes. The weight is more than
that of leather, but its cost is very
much less. The demand for some
substitute for leather grows more and
more urgent every year, and anything
which will take its place will be glad
ly welcomed.

To Save Retsy Ross House.

display it to the very best advantage

model of his plan, and experts to
whom he has shown it believe that
the idea is not only feasible, but the
best which could be devised.

about which cluster such tender
memories OF the early days of the ma

which could be gained by the pur-
chase of the properties surrounding
it in Arch street. About the build
ing Mr.. Weisberger has placed in his
model series of granite columns to
represent the 10 original States, and
each of these, he thinks, should be
sentimentally contributed by the
State itself and inscribed with its
name. In the center of the foreground
is tall flag pole, from which the
national emblem, as originally made
by Betsy Ross, shall wave night and
day.
At each corner of the park-like in
closure the model shows grassy
shield for the symbolic purpose, SC
the artist explains, of signifying how
the sacred relic is shielded from all
quarters.
The designer of this interesting
model, which will be shown in all
parts of the country, is the creator OF
the now wcll-known picture, Th'
Birth of Our National Flag" which
was shown in the Pennsylvania State
Building at the Chicago Worlds Fair
Mr.. Weisberger has lived in tho
house for many years, and has made
it and the history OF Betsy Ross hi

A Sad Farewell.

The following article is taken from the
Baltimore San of August 9th:
Middletown, Md, Aug. 26.-In the
presence of an assemblage that filled the
Lutheran church in Middletown today
| there was pathetic and sad leavc-tak-
ing. The pastor, Rev. M. l.. Beard, who
had preached his farewell sermon, pre-
vious to his going to Thurmont, broke
down and collapsed while in the act Of
pronouncing the benediction.
Rev. Mr.. Beard had delivered an able
discourse from the One Hundredth and
| Twenty-frst Psalm-"As the mountains
are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord
is round about his people from henceforth-
even forever"
At the close of his discourse he stated
that during his l3 years passionate here
he had admitted by confirmation, 462; by
infant baptism, 467; attended 27O funer-
ais and raised for all purposes up to Oct
ober last almost $500
Mr.. Beard then spoke in calm and
dispassionate manner of his departure and
the reasons therefor, during which many
were moved to tears. The pastor then
gave out the hymn God be With YOU"
which was sung by the entire assemblage.
At the close of the hymn, which visi-
bly, affected the retiring pastor, Mr..
Beard arose to pronounce the benediction.
Lifting his hands, he began repeating the
well-known sentence, but had only utter
ed few words when he ceased speaking.
For few moments the pastor stood per-
fectly still, when with cry he fell for-
ward heavily on the pulpit desk, sobbing
bitterly, "Oh, my God, l can't, can't"
The audience stood as if spel!bound for
moment, until the pastors daughters
rushed to his assistance, followed by
members of the congregation, and DR.. G.
Herbert Buckley, who occupied front
seat. Children cried and women sobbed
aloud.
After the pastor had recovered he was
surrounded by scores of sympathizing
friends. A number of ladies were great
ly unnerved by the scene.
Rev. Mr.. Beard has become so attach
ed to Middletown and his many friends
here that his departure under the unfort-
innate circumstances has most grievously
wounded him. The greatest sympathy
has been expressed all day for the dis
tressed pastor.

There is a lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the bright
sunshine may last but day and he pre-
pares for the showers which are so liable
to follow. So it should be with every
household. Dysentery, diarrhoea and
cholera morbus may attack some member
of the home without warning. Chamber

One of the novelties lust being in.

One of the novelties just being in
troduccd to the trade is a folding
skate. 1t is instantly ready to be
folded when removed from the shoe.
The wing-like projections which are
necessary to clamp the skate to the
heel and sole are made to turn length
wise with the skate, and when in this
position the bulk is transformed into
a perfectly fiat shape, one-half inch
in thickness. On being applied to
the foot it is capable of the same adj
justment as the skate of the ordinary
kind, and is secured in place by the
same lever adjustment as is now n
common use. Packing for sale is
done in neat leather wallet with
two pockets, each one designed to
hold a skate. This makes a package
little more than an inch in thick
ness and three and a quarter inches
wide, the length being regulated by
that of the skate.

Concrete and Crushed Rock.

Evidence of the rapid increase in
the use of concrete in engineering
and architectural work is to be found
in the great demand for, and incrcas-
ing value Of, what used to be known
as broken stone" and is now known
as "crushed rock" There was
time, and not go very long ago, when
the hand hammer or the portable
crushing machine OF modern capacity
were equal to supplying the demand,
but of late years the call for this ma
terial has been so extensive as to war
rant the construction of large plants
equipped with machinery Of special
design and large power, capable OF
turning out several hundred tons OF
crushed rock per hour from each ma
chine. In fact, it is likely that the
production of crushed rock will be-
come a specialized industry, with
plants located conveniently to suita-
BILE quarries, and within reach OF rail
or water transportation.
The important effect which the
growing use of concrete is having up
on certain allied interests is shown
by the fact that the sanitary district
OF Chicago has been negotiating for
the sale of the enormous quantities of
rock which were excavated during the
construction OF the Chicago drainage
canal. This rock at present lies in
huge banks, which extend for many
miles parallel with the canal between
Lockport and Lcmont, III. The es-
timated amount of material suitable
for crushed rock now lying in these
spoil banks is 22,0OO,OOO cubic yard,
and the whole of it, of course, lies
conveniently for transportation thro
the canal to Chicago. An offer of
1O3 cents per cubic yard has been
made for the rock as it lies in place,
with the return of certain percent
age OF the net profits from the sale of
the rock after it has been crushed.
Extensive as is the use Of concrete,
whether in the plain or in the ar
mored or reinforced condition, we
are today witnessing but the begin
ming of what may be termed the con-
crete age. This ever-broadening APP
plication of con crete is to be welcom-
ed, provided care is taken to guard
against careless construction or the
introduction Of cheap and fraudulent
methods of work. If the day ever
comes when concrete construction is
carried on in the shoddy manner
which characterizes much brick and
stone construction OF the present day,
we shall be leaving heritage Of trou-
bic and disaster to prosperity, the
measure of which it would be hard to
foretell .-Scientific American.

The Jubilee Poets.

If there is any section of this broad and
bright land which is not blest withits full
quota of poets, spring or otherwise, the
State of Maryland and those common
wealths Immediately adjoining it, are
prepared to supply any reasonable de-
mand for this indispensable adjunct of
civilization. Whatever doubts there may
have existed in the public mind as to the
success of this years crop of poets have
been dissipated by returns received since
the Publicity Bureau Of the Greater Bal
timore Jubilee and Home Coming Expo
sition got to work. AS soon as it became
generally known that the committee re.
garded with favor the efforts of the poet
tribe to produce jubilee odcs, the verse
makers rallied manfully to their guns and
the headquarters now 10 in daily receipt
of numerous poetic etfusions which would
make England's Laureate grow green
with envy. Many of the verses possess
real merit and all of them show the exist
ence of enthusiastic sentiment for Balti-
more. The poems are being published
and acknowledged as fast as received and
the disposition of the Jubilee Committee
is to encourage all efforts along this line.
Indications are that larger crowd will
attend the Jubilee Celebration, Septem-
Der 9th to 10th, than Baltimore has ever
before entertained. There will be nu-
merous features for the entertainment of
the visitors including three large parades.
The first of these will be military dis
play, Tuesday, September 18th. On the
following day there will be great indus
trial parade in which forty thousand men
will participate and in which will be
shown two or three hundred magnificent
floats. On Wednesday the Firemen will
turn out, the entire Baltimore depart
ment being supplemented by those com
panies from other cities which aided in
extinguishing the big fire of 1904. This
celebration is in commemoration of the
city's recovery from that confagration.
