\ Great Parade.

The threatening weather cleared up
early Saturday morning, much to relief
of many Juniors, and by / o'clock at
least 200 We're in full swing for Vogt-
mans Park, led by several fully-equipped
bands.
Otto Hohing, chief marshal, looked
well and directed several handsome
evOlutions.
The Little Red School House, drawn
by 80 boys in uniform, was striking
feature.
At the park speeches We're made by
orators, visiting and local.
The occasion was success in every
way, barring the rain after supper.

A dispatch from Milton, Del. sta

A dispatch from Milton, Del, states
that
The secret of "Uncle Billy" Warnings
ability to forecast the weather has leaked
out. Recently he has been able with an
eXactitude not equaled by the best barome-
tiers to tell his neighbors n, and sometimes
50 hours ahead what weather to expect.
His predictions have been of great benefit to
farmers. Now it is learned that he gets his
tips from his two pigs.
In dry weather the tails of the pigs have
one curl, in wet weather two curls and Just
before a rain their tails hang limp.
This is printed for the benefit of Frost
burgers who keep hogs in town under
authority of an unauthenticated ordi-
nance.
BY watching, recording and publish
ing the curly condition of their tails,
they may make the hogs of some CON
venient as well as insanitary public
service.

Robbery.

A Philadelphia paper OF Thursday
tells of loss to gentleman well-known
here:
While Elias Wneland and his family
We're at the shore, thieves broke into their
home, No. l435 Diamond street, ransacked
several rooms and carried away all the silver
ware they could find, valued at $500 or 5000
The exact number of things taken has not
been ascertained, but it is known that solid
silver sugar bowls, cake trays, coffee pots,
tea urns etc, were taken. Most of the ar
ucles We're marked with the initials E. W.,
or &. w. The robbery was discovered by
Policeman Lowe, who saw that a part of the
grating of the cellar window had been
broken. He investigated and discovered
that bureau drawers and closets had been
ransacked. So far as the police could dis
cover, no jewelry, clothing or money had
been taken. The full extent of the robbery
will not be known, however, until the re-
turn of some member of the family.

Political.

Friends of Messrs c. Adam Hice, of
Mt. Savage, and Adam Lebeck, of West
ernpOrt, incumbent County Commits
sioners, affirm that they have made an
official record good enough to be con-
tinued. They have administered the
countys finances with an ability, in
tegrity and impartiality on plane above
reprOach; "hence, why not continue
them ?"
But another Frostburger-a big tax
payer, contends that "Frostburg voters
should get together, unite on one of
their own Messrs. Reuben
Reed, John G.. Merrbach, or Richard
Harris, in order that this town should
be represented ON the board. The town,
with Commissioner, is far better off
than with anyone or two of all the other
Offices"
&c. Clinton Uhl, of Mt Savage, is
democratic candidate for reelection to
office of Road Director. Samples of his
work, known and inspected by his
friends, testify that he has made good.
Hon. David E. Dick is hustler. Not
content with carrying, bearing and tear
ing the onerous details which come to a
man who is about to lose himself in the
ungodly mission of starting and conduct
ing party newspaper, he will hurl him
self upon the hastings to tell the people
how he will represent them in Legis-
lature which can do everything to tax
them, but nothing to make railroad
Caesar pay cent of tribute for the
sovereignty which they have abdicated.
Speaking of James Campbell. jr., a
candidate for the republican nomination
for House of Delegates, the Cumberland
1mericaH says
Mr.. Campbell, as a member of the Ale
gany delegation in the last Legislature,
made splendid record for himself, and
fully merits another term. He is a carpen-
ter by trade, and was at one time a delegate
to Allegany Trades Council of this city.

An Actual Difficulty.

No employee of the State should be inter
ested in any corporation or firm doing bust
ness with the State, nor in any transaction
of profit with the State.-Gog. Charles T..
HngIcS, of New York.
Who is an employee of the State-a
member of the Legislature, a member of
Congress, or judge of the court?
This question is asked because of the
difficulty of discovering anybody who is
independent enough-of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad for instance, to be
really eligible to fill any of the offices
named.

FOR MoNoGAMIC MARRIAGE.
Argument Made by G. F. Nesbit Be-
fore Secular League.

The increased number of divorces, 1t
was declared at a meeting of the Secular
League in Pythian Temple last evening,
should be regarded as great moral ad-
vancement instead of being looked upon
as a menace to the people. 1t was fur
Their declared that the divorce courts to-
day are filled with people who have been
forced into marriage, not by motives of
love, but by economic and social pressure
Mr.. C. F. Nesbit, one of the speakers made
an argument for monogamic marriage as
the only moral relationship of the sexes
He showed the progress of the race from
promiscuity, through polyandry and polyg-
amy to monogamy.
Marriage he defined as the union of
one man and one woman, growing out of
the peculiar love Of each for the other,
which YIELDS them permanently together
into single intellectual and moral being
Not male or female, but man, male and
female, is the unit Of human society, he
said The home is merely the nest in
which this dual unity lives and works out
its destiny.
This true marriage is the most sacred
said Mr.. Nesbit
The moral objection to extremely severe
Jaws regarding divorce arises from the
attempt to make people live together who
clearly are not married. History proves
that laws when too severe merely create
contempt, not reverence, for the very in
Stltut1on they attempt to safeguard.
The state in its laws regarding marriage
should take cognizance of the permanent
and enduring nature of this union. All
law, civil and ecclesiastic, regarding mar
riage is merely an acknowledgment of the
great natural fact and truth of nature that
monogamic marriage is the Ideal and only
true relationship.

DOUBLES HIS CONTRIBUTION.
Washington Minister Responds to
Appeal From Associated Charities.

One of Washington's leading clergymen
has doubled his contribution to the Asso-
ciated Charities and sent in letter which
is reported by Secretary Charles F. Weller
as one of the encouraging features Of the
campaign to raise the 5000 needed in sup
port of the work for the present season. OF
this amount $S15.50 has been collected, so
that a balance of S2,124 is needed. Rev.
John Van Schaick, jr., pastor of the Church
of Our Father, sends So with the letter in
which he states: Il have already subscribed
to the Associated Charities and allied forces
all that l felt that I could afford The
present emergency, however, compels me
to send another five as my share OF the
deficit. No institution in Washington has
done more to educate the community than
the Associated Charities. We have been
taught that the hungry should be fed, that
the naked should be clothed, that help
prompt and adequate should be given to the
needy, but also that pauperism should be
destroyed. Some have held that with pau
perism eliminated and the hungry fed the
work of the charities should stop. The As
ISOLATED Charities has gone further how
ever 1t has steadily held that relief to be
effective must be adequate, that We must
get at the causes of poverty and remove
them, that must incucate self
respect teach sef-help, and never stop
in efforts to turn the pauper into
self-supporting member of the community.
In addition to Mr.. Van Schaick's contribu-
ton the following amounts have also been
received at 81 G street and acknowledged
by John Joy Edison, treasurer:
Cash. $40: Mrs. Frances Young, $50; Rev.

THOUSANDS ON PARADE.
