especially Mr.. John w. Garrett, the
then head of the B. &; O. He was State
Fish Commissioner for number of
years and was prominent IN political af
fairs, being a Democrat Of the old
school. 1t was at Mr. Delawder's
lodge that eX-President and Mrs. Cleve-
land spent few days of their honey
moon. Mrs. Roosevelt and her sen
Theodore also visited thelodge a few
years ago. Mr.. Delawder is survived
by his aged widow, two sons, Messrs.
James A., Of Oakland and John A, cf
Washington, and by two daughters,
Mrs. ", l. Boughner, Of Morgantowr,

WHOLESALE KILLING.
Hany Dogs Poisoned In Oakland By
enteous Distribution Of Drugged
~ Neat.

Some person unknown to residents of
Oakland and the authorities of the coun-
ty on last Friday night distributed
along Liberty and Centre streets pieces
of bologna sausage containing sufficient
poison to work havoc with all dogs and
other animals picking the same up and
eating it, with net result of six dogs
killed and several that were saved by
the exertions of their owners admins
tering antidotes shortly after the dogs
had eaten of the poisoned meat.
Some of the dogs were valuable ami
mails while others were just the ordinary
street loafers, but in the eyes of their
masters valuable just the same.
A second visitation of the dog man"
was made to Water and the lower end
of Oak street Tuesday night where the
same kind of dope" was handed out
but resulting in fewer victims.
The owners of the various animals
that were killed are indignant and if the
identity Of the person who distributed
the poison with such lavish hand is
made known to them it is dollars to
doughnuts that he will not come off
with a whole skin.

ty about $500 acres of land which the
Chisholm line located in Allegany coun-
ty. The court, however, held that the
Chisholm line was good. The last legis-
lature passed an act putting the ques-
ton to the vote of the people of Gar
rett county, whether that county want
ed to accept the land in dispute.
Allegany County has been drawing
quite a revenue from the piece of
ground and the County Commissioners
have directed that steps be taken to
test the constitutionality of the act.
The latter gives the whole people Of
Garrett county right to vote on the
question, when only, it is alleged, the
people living in the territory should
have the right so to vote, and the court
will be asked to enjoin the supervisors
from holding an election in the disputed
district or districts.

the Public. Some Interesting
Subjects Discussed.
(BY ]. c. Realm.

Teachers in Garrett county's public
schools numbering upward of one hun
dred and twenty. five, gathered in the
Oakland Public School Building Monday
morning at ten O'Clock to attend the an
nual institute held for the purpose Of
gaining new ideas along educational
lines and to bring the public instructors
together where they may be able to ex-
change ideas and impart information
touching upon educational matters.
The institute was opened with music
conducted by Prof. Gibson, who was in
troduced by Prof. Browning as music
instructor for institute week. Mr.. Glib
son made a pleasing impression upon
the teachers. lie was followed by Rev.
J. B. Workman in an appropriate
prayer. Thus the day was dedicated to
Him who "doeth all things well. -
Mr.. Julius c. Renninger, one Of the
young lawyers of Oakland, delivered the
address of welcome in few pointed,
well directed remarks. After briefly
explaining how to attain success in the
school room Mr. Renninger touched
pleasantly on the salaries paid the
teachers and those VINO heard him know
full well that he favors an increase Of
pay to the instructors OF the rising'gen-
Grafton.
In response to MIR. Renninger Prot,
A. W. Dewitt made few remarks in
his usual energetic and glowing man
ner
We always expect something rich for
the teacher when DR.. Stephens, super
intendent Of Public Instruction, arises
to speak, and truly our cups We're filled
his forenoon. He clearly led us INTO
the meaning Of Leadership and Fellow
ship He then dwelt with emphasis on
the great necessity of Moral in training
the building OF character. He here
showed by history how the pendulum
has swung from colonial times when the
moral received all the attention to the
neglect of the intellect, to the present
time when the intellect receives all the
attention to the neglect Of the moral
side.
And in Dr. Stephens usual impress
sive way of telling d thing he showed
how Happy Medium" is safe ground,
and that a man or a woman should al
ways take his religion with him wher-
ever he goes but that Sectarianism has
no place in the public schools.

VIII B. Dry Month.

September viii in all probability be
an unusually dry month, according TO
the director Of the Baltimore weather
bureau. In fact, the director predicts
a dry fall, basing this on the excessive
rainfall Of the past three months,
which in Cumberland amounted to 9.
inches, greater than during any similar
period for many years. The director
attributes the great rainfall Of June,
July and August to the remarkably low
barometric pressures, and the constant
southerly breezes, which brings an
abundance OF moisture + ON the Allan
tic ocean.
