Has anybody observed how closely ex-

water income?
II SO, has he estimated how far the
town Will be in kingdom come before
the water debt Is paid
Assuming that the town consumes
lOo,Ooo gallons every dav, the wafer
costs fraction less than u cents u
thonSandEallons, and it seems to take lust
about that rate to pay the salaries of
operators and interest ON bonds.
Nothing left over whcrewith 70 take
up the bonds at any period this side the
Millennium.
1t Is, therefore, "A vital questionable
the Mayor and Council give any thought
Whatever to water-SyStem finances?
II not, IT Is time they were doing so.
Not only So-therc should be some

at least approximately the same tor a

Joint Debate.

The Homecoming Spondent of the
Cumberland Nc"s writes that
Considerable interest is being taken in the
coming public debate between Central High
school of TINS city, and BcalI High school of
l'roStburg
At the debate last year the Frostburg
school won and the ambition of our school
IS to win this year and SO put the schools ON
the same footing
The question for debate is rather a com
pick one. 1t Is as follows
Resolved, That it is unwisr tor the United
states to depart from tn" custom of our faith
CrS. in so far to retain permanent possession
ul the Philippine Islands.
Central school will take the affirmative
side of the question and will be represented
by Mr.. Leonard j. komcr, jr, Miss Mar
garct Love and Mr. James close
The FrOStburg school Will be represented
by Misses Pearl Bone and Stella Williams
and Mr. BrySOu Tucker
As the debate last year took place in Iona
coming tins year 1t will be held in the Frost
burg Opera House.
Lonacouing people are very anxious to
have Central school win this year.
That Is, Central" will have the mega
tive side of the resolution to discuss af-
Tentatively, and "Bcall" the affirmative
side to uphold negatively.
Very clearly. the trainers of PROPOSE.
tious for school debate ought to learn
how that very important work should
be done.

citizen of Illinois, and the Judge decided

In indianapolis an electric car ran off

as follows: The msgnum opus of the

March 10 1902, by filing a petition in
the celebrated Northern Securities case,
In which a final decision Of the supreme
court was rendered in 1901 sustaining
the contention of the attorney general
that the great railways in this combina-
ton had been merged in violation OF
