Grading for Trolley Line to Thurmont
il in prODress

il in Progress.
In company with an official of the w.,
F. & G. Railway Company, representa-
tive of THE NEWS Friday afternoon made
trip to the point, just beyond Monte
vue, where the work of grading the road
bed for the trolley line to Thurmont is in
progress. Here considerable force of
men, with many teams, was at work. A
huge pillow, drawn by four strong horses,
was tearing up the earth alta point where
a cut is to be made, and numerous carts
and two-horse wagon were hauling it to
points where the level is to be raised.
The scene Of operations stretches from a
point just beyond the entrance to Monte
vue to point in one Of Mr.. Francis T.
Lakin's fields, on the other side of the
pike, and good progress has been made.
Mr.. D. Columbus Kemp, president of the
railway company, was on hand, directing
operations, and occasionally lending a
hand at the plow.
Running out West Fourth street, the
route for the railway turns to the left
when the city boundary is reached, runs
through the fields on that side Of the
turnpike for some distance, crosses to the
other side before reaching Montevue,
crosses again to the left side beyond the
Montevue gate, and runs along strip of
land cut from field Of the Montevue
farm until it reaches the top Of the first
hill beyond Montevue, where it crosses
the pike for the last time and, taking a
diagonal course through Mr.. Lakin's
field, heads for the mountain. Theroute
runs between the dwellings, Of Messrs.
Francis T. Lakin and D. Columbus Kemp,
passing through the latter's yard.
At the hill beyond Montevue, where
the route crosses the turnpike for the
last time, it is to be cut which will be
about the deepest on the road feet 8
inches from the surface Of the land. This
hill was partly cut down for the turnpike,
however, and the roadbed will be only a
little more than three feet below the
present level Of the turnpike.
Grading from Montevue towards Fred
erick will be begun shortly. The COM
pany aims to have this end of the road
completed as soon as possible, 30 that
construction materials may be hauled out
on its own rails. A shipment of rails is
promised for delivery in November, and
it is hoped to have cars running beyond
Montevue by the holidays. AS soon as
this part of the road is finished, the COM
pany will, besides hauling material for
its own use in building the remainder of
the road, furnish freight and passenger
accommodations for the public.
That suburban residence section will
grow up along the route of the railway
is considered certain. There are many
splendid sites for homes near the railway.
Mr.. Chas J. Ramsburg, who has the
contract for grading about three miles of
the roadbed near Lewistown, is making
good progress with the work. Saturday

Wingate colliery near Durham, Eng.

were killed and 200 temporarily en-
tombed. Fortunately, only a small
portion of the thousand men employ
ed ia the mine were down when the
explosion occurred.

"Yilla Rest ~


EMMITSBURG, MD.
EDITOR OF The CLARIoN:-The noun
tains surrounding Emmitsburg are very
grand and beautiful, and whilst often
changing their brilliant hues are ever the
lofty guardians of the peaceful valleys be-
low. One can but marvel at the wonder
full improvement few years have made
in the country surrounding Emmitsburg.
There are no finer buildings, or better
schools in the State, both male and fe-
male, than can be found here; or more
substantial homes, pretty cottages and
fertile fields of abundant harvests All
this is owing to the guiding hand of Prov
idence to the wonderful energy of few
visitors, who, years ago, planted the
Gross" on this foundation and no doubt
the winds of adversely blew, and beat
upon their house, but it fell not, for it
was built upon rock.
The town of Emmitsburg, l am sorry
to say, has not directed it's energies or
wealth in the line of progress or improve
ment. It simply let's "well enough alone. !"
1t is hard to tear oneself from these
charming scenes. Just as summer is put
ting off her robes Of green, and Fall
steps forth very queen, arrayed in all
the gorgeous hues of autumn; whilst sum-
mer, with lavish hand, lays at her feet
her abundant harvest of golden corn, the
rosy checked apples ready for the press,
the brown clustering grapes, and grow
ing everywhere, the purple morning glo-
ry born in early ray, lives it's short life
and passes with the day.
Our brief stay at ''Villa Rest" has
been delightful in every way. We still
have few boarders from Washington
and New York, who, like myself, are
10th to leave this charming place..

While out gathering chestnuts one af-
ternoon last week Miss Rosa Baxter came
in contact with two large copper snakes
coiled side by side in the sun. Stepping
back she called to her brother who was
nearby, and he succeeded in killing both
reptiles. 1t is supposed they were either
asleep or cold as they made no effort to
defend themselves.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS,

Freight rates on agricultural lime have
been reduced from LeGOre, Md, to all
points on the w. NJ r. r. This is Of great
Importance to you, rs it puts you in posi-
ton to get the best land improver and crop
grower on the market at very reasonable
prices.
Our lime is shipped hundreds Of miles and
into ten (l0) different states for agricultural
use, and its superior quality has been known
for years. We can manufacture the best
lime on the market because We have the
best formation Of limestone in the East
And we have had experience enough to
know how to proportion the different kinds
or stratas of rock so as to produce the best
agricultural lime manufactured
Ten years ago our lime was used by the
farmers along This road in very great guam
titles, hut the high rates instituted by MIR.
Griswold made the price prohibitive. Very
reasonable rates are now in effect and we
are looking forward to building up very
large trade along this line We would like
TO correspond with all farmers who desire
to make more money by improving their
farms and growing better crops postal
adtlresse to us will bring full particulars

With the usual inversion, however,
of the motives of action In the two
worlds of east and west, these books
nave not been published to sell.
They are circulated in semi-private
fashion In the government educa-
tional establishments. One Is text
book of patriotism, and the other a
plea for the missionary and appeal
to the Christian and non-Christian
to live on good terms and remember
always that they are both Chinese.
1t is as though Secretary Taft was
to write a book instead of delivering
such a speech as any one in which
he speaks for the administration
and Is TO be so understood by all at
homo and abroad. And what says
this leading statesman at present In
authority in China in his plea for
Patriotism" The most striking OF
the practical counsels are those In
which he touches upon the perilous
situation for China rising out OF her
supine attitude as the quarry for
adventurous foreign nations. On the
subject of education. for instance,
he observes:
by the possession OF knowledge
our people will be able to take an
intelligent interest In public busi-
ness. The history OF western ma
tions has shown that national pro-
gress and strength have been pro-
portioned to the attention given TO
education. This has been proved by
Japan, and will be so by China.
Education. however. must be not
merely literary, but military. The
cultivation of the patriotic spirit
and the practice of regular military
drill have been a prominent feature
In the educational systems OF mod
ern countries This must be further
supplemented by more advanced mill
tary training for all the people,
(conscription). The conditions OF
modern policies require every great
state to be a military power. ."-Bos-
