ANOTHER EFFORT FORY MICA.
WILL BE MADE BY MR.. TIBBITTS
In HAGERSTOWN.
He Announces That a Vigorous Cam
paign Will Shortly Be Inaugu-
rated to Raise $4,000.
The Hagerstown Herald says:

The Hagerstown Herald says:
Mr.. George r.. Tibbits, interstate
Y. M. C. A. secretary, with headquar-
tiers at Washington, was in this city
yesterday and spoke at the Railroad
Y. M. c. A. in the afternoon and at
Washington Square Methodist Epis-
copal church in the evening. While
here Mr. Tibbits talked to number
Of public-spirited citizens, who are
interested in securing a modern Y. M.
g. a. building for Hagerstown.
In speaking Of building for this
city Mr. Tibbits said Hagerstown was
virtually the last city of this terri
terry, composed Of Maryland, West Vir-
ginit, Delaware and the District Of
Columbia that is without a Y. M. G.
A. building In this territory over
$2,000,O00 has been raised for build
ings alone in the past 1--WE years and
twelve buildings are now in the course
Of construction. The need for build
ing in this city is great.
Evening journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1907-1913, 1907-12-30

Mr.. Tibbits said he had faith in the
people of Hagerstown and that he be-
lieved that in the near future they
would band themselves together and
erect a suitable building such as the
city merits. Frederick opens its build
ing on January /, having raised $685.
900 with which to eject it. Martins
burg raised $4,000 and Mr.. Tibbits
feels that Hagerstown can do better
than either of these cities
The Frederick building is said by
Mr. Tibbits to have the finest exterior
and interior Of any Y. M. c. A. build
ing he has ever seen in town the
size Of Frederick. 1.-THE inside trim
mings and furnishings are the finest
and the working equipments the best,
said Mr. Tibbits, He thought that it
would be a good idea for those people
of Hagerstown, who are interested in
a building for Hagerstown, to go to
Frederick after the first Of the year
and see what an institution for good
the II NJ. c. A. is at that place Mr.
Tibbits said if every person in Hagers-
town was willing to do his part, the
amount needed to construct first
class building could be easily secur-
ed and all citizens could feel that
they had share In the project He
feels that Hagerstown should have at
least $4,000 for a building and that
this would only put up structure
sufficient to meet the needs OF today
He favors building with gymnasium
pool rooms, bowling alleys, swimming
pools, night school rooms, etc, and
one or two floors Of dormitories. The
small amount charged for the latter
would practically render the building
and management self-supporting.
That fight for y. M. G. A. buiId-
ing for this city will be renewed
and carried to a successful finish, Mr.
ITibbits feels most sanguine. In the
near future a vigorous campaign will
begin in this city, and II work will
make 1t 10, it will be pushed TO sue
cessful conclusion.

FITZGERALD QUITS B. q 0.
Continued from page IL

Potter was upheld and there was no
alternative for the general manager
but to resign.
The trouble between the vice-pres-
ident and general manager dates back
to the creation of the Office OF third
vice-president and making him the
supreme head OF the operating depart
ment.
When first organized and for many
years thereafter, the stockholders and
directors appointed general manager
or superintendent, and he was given
absolute power in his department. La
ter the new Office of third vice-pres--
ident was made, and he was suppos-
ed to be supreme, but the lines of au-
thority were never clearly drawn
In the present instance those close
to both the principals say that ever
since Mr. Fitzgeralds promotion
nearly three years ago, the same con-
ditions have existed.
1.-The general manager" said one,
probably thinking of the authority
first vested in the general manager
by the stockholders and directors, be-
lieved that he should have certain
leeway, and probably put into effect
some of his. ideas without consulting
with the third yice-president- Nat
urally there was clash.
To outsiders, many Of whom only
know Mr.. Fitzgerald had worked fol
the corporation for Al years, and had
risen by sheer ability from the posi-
ton Of water boy, it was puzzlins
to understand why he was permitted
TO resign because of clash Of au
thority Many OF those in offics
thought him too close a friend OF thI
powers that be" not to be upheld
Those who saw the storm brewing
and knew that the final rupture mus
come were confident that the presi
dent would uphold the general man
ager. Today even those who know
the inside details Of the difference
are wondering who or what are th'

powers behind the third vice-presi-
dent.
Then there are also those who de-
clare that Mr.. Fitzgerald refrained
from giving the details of his side of
the case because of his regard for
the president, Mr. Oscar G.. Murray.
True. Mr.. Murray did send for Mr..
Fitzgerald and tell him that he could
remain with the road in some other
position. But those questioned re-
garding the probability of his doing
SO either laughed or Smiled knowing
ly AS one asked:
"Why what else is there of impor-
tango for him to dog The general
manager must have the supervision
of the road bed, the engines and the
train dispatchers department. Mr..
Fitzgerald is man Of men when it
comes to clearing road after a
block He can run an engine, but he
is not a mechanical engineer, and he
long served as dispatcher. One
might run through the positions OF
the road, but there is probably not
one he is so well fitted for or that
he would be likely to accept outside
of general manager or the next step
higher
Mr.. Fitzgerald is one of the best
versed men in railroad circles and is
known from one end of the country
| to the other as 4 valuable man.
As Viewed In aInrtinsburg.
The resignation Of Mr.. Fitzgerald
naturally came as great shock t
the Martinsburg railroad men, many
OF whom are personal friends of Fitz.
I gerald, and there was general regre
expressed at his action.
1t is believed here that one of thu
points of friction between Potter ane
Fitzgerald was the erection of a new
depot in this city. 1t is known tina
plans for such a building, as well as
other important improvements here
have been in the offices at Baltimore
for several years, but that their con
summation has always been Tough

tagonism toward Martinsburg dates
back for a number Of years,

Deaf Doas Are Rare.

People have been known to excuse
watch dogs for dereliction OF duty 1n
the ground that the dogs might be
hard OF hearing. This excuse ought
not to go. A veterinary surgeon Of
Cleveland remarked that In his thir-
ty-fye years, experience he had never
heard Of "A deaf dog. His remark led
to Inquiries among two or three other
Yeterinaries and not one had ever
heard of 81 dog that couldn't hear.
When q watch dog or any other dog
doesn't hear man that is proving
about the house it is because it doesn't
want to hear. Horses are frequently
treated by Yeterinaries for deafness,
and even cats are hard OF hearing oc-
;casionally, but deaf dogs seem to be

BIRD sUPER9sT|I|Tl0Ns.

Queer Beliefs That Wars Held BY the
Ancient Mariners.
Birds as inhabitants Of the air were
naturally chosen by the ancients as
oracles and angurs Of future happen
ings The sensitiyeness to atmospher-
ic changes shown BY many birds aided
IL estab lishing these notions. The real
Indications often furnished by sea.
birds Of d coming storm or calm were
doubtless magnlfied by the anxious. SUI
perstitious sailor.
The custom OF hanging the sea sWal-
low so that the bill may point to the
wind arose from the old time custom
OF suspending the bird by the feet. ex-
pecting It would renew its feathers as
if alive.
Divinati0n by the fight Of birds was
a favorite method In the olden times.
Sailors watched their flight for indica-
TONS Of prosperous voyages and favor
ing winds. AS they were thought to
fy through the air to heaven, they
easily became messengers of the will
OF the gods.

CLEOPATRA.

The Story Of Hsr Dsath From this Bite
Of m Asp.
1 It Is admitted that Cleopatra killed.
herself to avoid being exhibited at
Rome IN the triumph OF Octavius, who
had made war upon her and Antony be-
cause the latter had divorced his (Oc-
tavtusD sister ON the queens account.
! But did she die from snakes biteP
It Is better to think not. s.If her death
had been caused by any serpent. the
small viper would rather have been
chosen than the large asp. but the
story 10 disproved by her having deck
ed herself Ia the royal ornaments and
being found dead without any marks
or suspicion OF poison on her body"
Death from serpent's bite could not
have been mistaken, and her vanity
would not have allowed her to choose
one which would have disfgured her
in so frightful manner.
Other poisons were well understood
and easy Of access, and no boy would
have yentured to carry an asp In a
/ basket of figs, some of which he even
offered to the guards as he passed. and
even Plutarch shows that the story OF
the asp was doubtful. Nor is the statue
carried in Augustus triumph, which
/ had an asp upon It, any proof Of his
belief In Il, since the snake was the
emblem Of EGYPTIAN royalty. The
statue for the CROWN Of Cleopatra
could not have been without one, and
this was probably the origin OF the
whole story. 81, Il.
