MEETING FOR THE MEN
WAS LARGELY ATTENDED
Two Excellent Addresses Made by
DR.. W. W. Davis and Mr.. S. T. ZONES

Probably the most interesting relig-
ious meeting held in Oakland for many
years was that of last Sunday after
noon in st. Paul's NJ. E. church, when
the auditorium was almost entirely fill
ed with the male residents of Oakland
and vicinity, who came in response to
an invitation extended through the
press and by personal solicitation to
hear an address by Rev. DR.. William
Wattors Davis, of Mountain Lake Park.
The meeting was called for half after
three O'Clock but long before the time
came the church was comfortably filled.
The tedium of waiting for the opening
hour was bridget by singing a number
of hymns, DR.. Robinson presiding at the
organ and Prof Morris K. Turner lead
ing the singing who was heartily joined
by nearly every one present.
Mr.. Scott 7. Jones, after prayer
offered by Presiding Elder DR.. r. r.
Ward, made spirited address to the
congregation in which he made plain
the duty men owe themselves, their
country, their families.and their Maker
to lead upright Christian lives, illus
trating his remarks by referring to
many of the Biblical characters whose
lives, though seemingly pure, we are
not to follow as examples, for Abraham
was deceitful in palming off his wife as
being his sister; Jacob stole his broth
er's birthright and David was guilty of
a most heinous crime, but rather follow
the example of that Most Righteous
One.
Following Mr.. Jones remarks Prof.
Turner sang a beautiful solo.
DR.. Davis remarks upon the subject,
"Wanted-A Man. were a revelation to
his auditors. The speaker showed the
necessity of man living the life of a
Christian, with what ease the path way
of rectitude may followed by the manly
man who was inclined to do so. Clinch-
ing his arguments which pointed
facts which come under the eye of
the observing individual almost daily.
His remarks occupied an hour in their
delivery and every moment of the time
he held the undivided attention of his
auditors, many of them being deeply
affected by the words of the speaker
and expressed determination to lead
better and nobler lives in the future.

REVIVAL MEETING STILL
GROWING IN INTEREST
Saint PauI's M. E. Church In Oakland
Doing Splendid Work.

The revival now in progress in Saint
Paul's Methodist Episcopal church in
Oakland is growing more interesting
and is being strengthened by the Spirit
at every succeeding meeting.
The meeting is making impressions
upon the minds of every one in the
town and is being discussed in business
places, shops and stores to the exclu-
sion of nearly every other subject.
Tuesday night was the banner night
so far in point of the number converted
and the manifestation Of the power of
prayer, when five persons professed
conversion.
These meetings have been of peculiar
tenderness; scores Of persons have
been quietly moved to tears, and while
the noisy demonstrations that some
times characterize assemblages of this
character have been absent, yet almost
everyone who attends feels the spirit of
the meetings and go away with new
resolutions formed and strengthened
purpose.
DR.. w. W. Davis, who has so ably
assisted the faithful pastor, Rev. J. B.
Workman, in number of the meetings,
is expected here today and will remain
for several day.

APPLICATION FOR SEWAGE
FRANCHISE WITHDRAWN
Council Failed to Act On Mea sure Pre-
senied and 1t Is Recalled.

The Town Council, which held an ad-
journed meeting last Thursday night to
consider the application of Mr.. A. D.
Naylor, representing himself and other
citizens and taxpayers of Oakland, for
a franchise to erect system of sewage
for the town, failed to reach an agree
ment concerning the measuce after a
spirited meeting, which was called for
this evening.
When the Council failed to take def
mite action on the application it was
withdrawn by Mr.. Naylor, consequent
ly the meeting this evening will be of
no effect.
While considerable opposition was
manifested against the granting of the
franchise to Mr.. Naylor by two or three
members Of the Council and one or two
residents of the town they had nothing
better to offer, as substitute measure
and consequently the delay in installing
a system of sewage will DE again delay
ed, probably for years to come.
While the Council no doubt acted con-
scientiously in thus delaying final action
until after more thorough investigation
into the merits of the measure, it would
appear that private citizens who oppos-
ed the granting of the franchise did so
from selfish standpoint and not for
the public veal

five acre farm over in District No. 8,
was found lying in the yard

THE MARYLAND SENATORS.
State Contingent All Aeos Over The
Coming Fight Here.

The Maryland contingent is getting
all agog over the big fight opening in
their State for the Senatorship Pre-
parations are being made by the mana
gers of both parties for close and de-
termined contest. The new Legislature
will be elected next November and will
assemble earlyin January. 1t will have
the double duty of electing someone to
fill the unexpired term of the late Arthur
Pue German and of electing Senator
for the full term beginning in March,
1909. The veteran William Pinkney
Whyte has announced his determination
to keep out of the fight, and will step
aside as soon as the Legislature as
sembles.
If the Democrats control the Legisa-
ture the fight for the toga will be be-
tween Governor Warfield and Repre-
sentative j. Fred C. Talbot, of Balti-
more county. Mr.. Talbot is skilled in
the German school of politics, and was
one of Mr.. Germans most trusted lieu
tenants for years. He is now generally
regarded as the successor of German in
the old org anization which was controll-
ed for so long time by Maryland's
great Senator. He has been designat-
ed by Chairman Taggart to take Mr..
Germans place on the Democratic nat
ional committee.
If the Republicans carry the Legisla-
ture the contest will be between Attor-
ney General Bonaparte and Representa-
tive Mudd-"Marse Sydney" 1t isIwell
understood that the national Admin
istration will be favorable to Mr.. Bona
parte, and thus, so far as the Republi-
cans are concerned, the Maryland Sena-
torial contest will be invested with a
national political character Should
President Rooseve't's Attorney General
win the Senatorship, Mr.. Bonaparte
would doubtless control the delegation
to the Republican national convention.

MN TRIAL DENIED P[ATT
SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS
Man Found Guilty Of Burning Saw Mill
Given Minimum Sentence.

Charles Platt, who was found guilty
at the December Term of the Circuit
Court of having burned the Mcmillan
saw mill over in District No. 8, received
his sentence on last Friday afternoon,
Judge Henderson, of Cumberland, pro-
nouncing it.
Platt, who is Hebrew, at the time
the mill was burned, was in the employ
of the Mcmillan Company in the capac-
ity of night Waterman, and testified at
his trial that when the fire originated
he was at some distance from the mill
in quest of his horse, which had broken
its halter and strayed away. Instead
of returning to the mill he went on to
Bavard, which is located mile or more
away and gave the alarm, but before
the residents of that town arrived at
the fire it had consumed the mill. An
investigation was set on foot by the
States officers who discovered that the
lumber yard adjoining the mill had also
been fired but the lumber being recently
cut it did not burn, in spite of the fact
that kerosene oil in large quantities had
been thrown over the timber Suspic-
ion pointed to Platt as the guilty party
and he was arrested at Bayard, which
is on the West Virginia side of the
river, by an officer of that State, who
turned him over to Sheriff Lee, of this
county.
At the time of the fire insurance to
the amount of over $50, 900 was in force
on the mill and manufactured lumber,
Sc, 900 being on the mill and the balance
on the lumber. After the fire the own
ers of the plant liquidated by going into
bankruptcy when the lumber was sold
for about $4,000 by the trustees sp-
pointed by the Cont.
Platt was tried on the charge Of hay
ing burned the mill, Judge Henderson
sitting as judge and jury Immediate
<slpon being found guilty of the crime
Et's attorneys made a motion for
fecrial of the case which was argued be-
fore Judge Henderson on the End inst,
who on Friday last rendered his decision
denying re.rial
Prior to passing sentence upon Platt
Judge Henderson asked him if he had
anything to say when the prisoner made
quite speech, denying his guilt in a
most vehement manner and stating that
he had been made a tool of by other
parties. Judge Henderson then review
ed the case and told Platt that he would
give him the minimum sentence pre-
scribed by law, which is two years in
the penitentiary, to which institution
Sheriff Lee conducted the prisoner Sun
day night, the officer returning to Oak
land Tuesday morning

COST TOO HIGH
Proposed New Fire and
Patrol Stations Would
Be Pretty, But
MAY CHANGE THE PLANS

The board of public safety and the
finance committee, composed of Hall,
Folk and Owen, who were appointed
TO represent the council, met at the
office of Architect Tilden last night
and looked over the plans for the new
central fire station. After looking
them over, it was the opinion of all
the members that the building would
be beautiful If carried out accord
ing to the plans and embodied every
NEED, but that they could not be con-
ndered for an instant on account of
the cost.
In all probability, bilding will be
built along the lines of the plans
prepared, but the ornamental work
will be cut down and by using diff
ferent material the price will be cut
down to less than half. An appro-
priation of $4,000 was made about
a year when it was decided to add
another story to the old market house
and the safety board has that money
in fund.

HIS SKIN NOW FINE
AND SMOOTH AS SILK

"I wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to
twelve years of misery l passed with
my son. As an infant l noticed on
his body red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger i put him under the care
of doctoss. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four, different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it grew. During
the day it would get rough and form
like scales. At night it would be
cracked inflamed, and badly swollen,
with terrible burning and itching.
When l think of his suffering, it nearly
breaks my heart. His screams could
be heard downstairs. The suffering
of my sen made me full of misery. /
had no ambition to work, to eat, nor
could / sleep.
"One doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for a bad job. One evening 1 saw an
article in the paper about the wonderful
Cuticura and decided to give it trial.
Il tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth its weight in gold, and when /
had used the first box of Ointment there
was a great Improvement, and by the
time / had used the second set of Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuti-
cura Resolvent nay child was cured. He
Is now twelve years old, and his skin is
as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Stein

II carried out along the lines pro-
posed by Tilden the building viii be
two stories high and the same length
as the present engine house and mar
ket house combined. However 1t will
be extended to the Court street curb
along the patrol house driveway. The
fire apparatus would be accommodate
ed on the Eighth street side, practi-
cally as at present and the center or
the Seventh street end would accom-
modate about as many more.
The chiefs wagon is shown on the
east corner and the patrol on the
other, with large work and repair
room between the two ends. Above
the corner is the chiefs bed room
and on the other room for the board
of public safety with accommodations
for the patrol operator in the rear.
Following that is a room to be fitted
up as an emergency hospital for which
there is an almost constant need.
Many people are brought to police
| headquarters in need of physician
and no matter what kind of building
is built, arrangements will be made
for their accommodation. The sleep
ing quarters of the firemen will of
course, be Immediately over the APP
paratus for convenience. There will
be large room for the use of the
men as a gymnasium and they can
form club and fit it up to suit them
selves. The advisability of putting
on a third story to be rented as a
source of income was discussed but
will hardly be carried out.
Tilden's plans call for Bedford stone
and in this alone, the price can be
cut down considerable by the use of
brick. AS there is great difference
Of opinion as to what should be done
the project may eventually be left to
a vote of the people to ascertain
whether or not it is the general de-
sire. That the building is needed no
one attempts to deny and such a
course would assuredly result favora-
BILE to the opinion of the mayor and
| board.
