Reminiscent.

The sale advertised for Saturday recalls
the happening of some years ago when
the Business Mems Association of Thur
mont was an active and aggressive pos
sibility of our community. 1t was then
that this same tract of land was being
exploited as hotel site; it had been pass
ed upon favorably and plans made, all de-
pendent upon purchase price, but on this
there was failure to agree and the pro-
ject failed.

Mr.. Geo. R. Webb, later at the head OF
the United Railways Company OF Balti-
more, Mr.. John Cowan, bui i'der and con-
tractor and Mr.. O. C. Martinett, real es-
tate. The entire amount of stock re-
quired had been pledged and more en-
thusiastic lot of business men never gath
cred in Thurmont than were those named
as they toasted their eyes on the Won
drous vista of mountain and valley from
Round Top to Sugar Loaf and from the
Catoctin Spur to PARIS Ridge.
That same glorious skyline to the west,
north and south and that same blue, un-
dulating horizon bounds our east; the old
fore shortening of the mountain curves
obtains and one can still seemingly dip a
hand in the wash of Owens Creek, toss
pebble into Hunting creek and catch the
spray of High Run as it tcascades over the
rocks, so deceptive are distances which
span the great chasms, seemingly to the
base Of the foothills, while in realty they
are miles apart.
That one day the right people shall see
and appreciate the sterling worth of this
should be the aim of progressive COM
munity.

Best Treatment For Puny Children.
Children often become thin and pale,
and sometimes there is no apparent cause
for this low state of the system. These

1t matters not whether this rundown
state of the system is caused by ill health,
overstudy or growing too fast. Rydale's

Weather Conditions.
Cool, cloudy and generally unsettled
weather continued to prevail during the
past week, but nevertheless a slight if
not very material Improvement in wealth
er conditions took place, as indicated by
the uniformly higher minimum tempera-
lures recorded and by the more moderate
precipitation. The temperature was
rather low, averaging about three de-
grees daily below the normal for the Sec
ton. The maximum ranged from 70 de-
grees to 10 degrees at nearly all stations
on Tuesday or Wednesday, but after the
rain on Friday night the temperature fell
to minimum on Sunday morning sufiici-
emily low for the formation of heavy
frost.
Less precipitation fell at most stations
than during the preceding week, but the
total exceeded an inch at nine out of
twenty stations. The average for the
section was about or slightly above the
normal. The soil is now very wet and a
period of dry weather would be beneficial.
Saturday and Sunday were generally
bright, but too cool for vegetation. North
to east winds predominated this week.

SOME HISTORY OF
WALL STREET PANICS
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald
New York, Oct. 3O-Now that they
have had time to catch their breath
Wall street men are figuring why it
was that last weeks collapse in the
stock market was accompanied by so
few failures. That the collapse did
not result in panic, with the conse-
quent failure of many stock brokerage
houses, may doubtless be attributed
to one cause, namely, that the public
was not in the market
To go no further back than 1903 it
is found that declines much less Sc
we're than those of last week brought
disaster to number of stock ex-
change houses. In July of that year a
sharp decline of prices on the oath of
the month, following long period of
liquidation, forced the suspension of
two stock exchange houses, and these
were followed three days later by an
other. The failure qsmaRibot ]. Tay-
af5f & Cor. one OF the Thrdg, was cUn7
nected with the losses Incidental to
the disastrous end of the Keene pool
in Southern Pacific, and too large in
terest in more or less unmarketable
securities was assigned as the reason
for the suspension of w. l. Stow & Co.
and E. S. Hooley & Co., the two other
firms.
The panic of May 9, 1901, finds its
adequate explanation in the Northern
Pacific corner resulting from the fight
between the Hill and Hartman forces
for the control of that property, and in
the necessity of selling other securi-
ties to meet the situation developed
by the corner in Northern Pacific
Losses in that stock were made good
by sales of other securities, and it
was all done SO precipitously and with
such dread of the result OF the strug-
gle that values crumbled away
The extreme weakness Of the mar
ket in November, 1890, was attribut-
able to several unfavorable develop
ments, not the least of which was the
news of the Barring failure, which be-
came known on the 18th of that
month. During the same month a
number of failures occurred here, al
though the declines were not as Sc
we're as those which have taken place
in recent weeks. 1t was in November,
1890, that Decker, Howell & Co. fail

! occurred in the same month.
September, 1873, is remembered as
one of the most disastrous months in
the history of the stock exchange. It
was on the Goth of that month that
conditions become so bad that the au-
/ thorities of the stock exchange closed
the institution for ten days. On the
same day trading on the stock ex-
change was suspended at the height
of the panic, but not before a score
or more of houses had gone to the
wall.
Probably the most famous of all the
panics that at one time or another
have seized the financial community
in this country was BLACK Friday"
September "a, 1869. For this the Fisk
Gould corner in gold was responsible
On that day gold rose to 162 1-2, and
the stocks broke with unprecedented
violence. Lockwood & Co, prominent
in those days. failed, and the an
hOuhNtiltlll vi lltll suspension was
followed by the failure of many other
firms. The Gold Exchange Bank be-
came involved and suspended

KELLY WORKS SMOOTH GRAFT
Man Gets Thirty Dollars from Murray
Hotel Clerk on Fake
Telegram.

About January q a party registered at
the Murray hotel as c. W. Kelly, wife and
child, from Denver. Mr.. Kelly seemed to
be a prosperous Individual and after re-
naming at the hotel with his family three
or four days borrowed about $50 from the
clerk on an alleged telegram from Denver
intimating that $500 had been expressed to
him. He left the hotel with his family
that night, and an inquiry at the Western
Union telegraph office developed the fact
that no such a telegram had been received
at Omaha for Kelly. The man was in
cidentally heard from in Council Bluffs,
where it was reported he had been
gambling rather recklessly, but this was
prior to his disappearance from Omaha.
An alleged friend of Kelly promised the
hotel people that he would hunt Kelly up
and have him make good as Kelly was
"all right" AS the making good had not
materialized Wednesday, Clerk Hastings
telegraphed TO Denver, where Kelly claimed
to be running lobby and cafe for the
benefit of theatrical people. Chief of Po-
lice w. A. Delany of Denver wired Clerk
Hastings Thursday morning.: kelly is a
fraud"
In the meantime the $50 is placed to the
profit and loss account of the Murray.
1t is not known that Kelly worked any
other places in Omaha, but as Clerk
Hastings puts 1t, HE had the ability to
do So"
