TWO SLIGHT WRECKS.
Accidents Near Cumberland Caused
Considerable Damage.

A peculiar a ccident occurred on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad Tuesday
morning. A local ran into way
train and was badly smashed. The en-
gineer and fireman Of the local engine
jumped off. The accident happened in
the cut below Greenspring. No cars
were derailed and no one was injured.
The cause of the run-in is said to have
been due to the fact that the caboose
did not have any flags out The rig
ger from Cumberland went to the
scene Of the accident.
An eastbound freight, Engineer Vor-
hees, ran into the caboose of another
freight at the cutoff at Patterson's
Creek The engine ploughed almost
through the caboose and the wrecked
cars caught fire. No one was injured,
but the caboose and several cars We're
destroyed and the engine badly dam
aged.

Where February Has Thirty DAYS.

Can there ligitimately be a Febru-
airy 30? Yes. under very exceptional
circumstances. That is to say, if you
happen to be voyaging across the Pa
cific at the end of February during a
leap year. A contributor to Notes
and Queries" looking over a collec-
ton of menu cards, found one dated
February so, 1904. At first he thought
it was printers error, but he after
ward ascertained that it was quite
correct. The dinner was given on
board the Pacific steamer Siberia
while crossing from Yokohama to San
Francisco. A day is gained between
Japan and America, and as the event
happened on this occasion at the end
of February, leap year, the date Feb
ruary 80, although unconventional,
was quite correct Milwaukee Free

ufacturing company, the old spoke

and the board Of directors finally dis
posed of the property. The property
has been idle for several years and
the directors some time ago sold the
bricks that were in the building.
These We're all taken away and left
the ground in the hands OF the board
OF directors to dispose of.
For some time negotiations have
been going on with the Baltimore &

the land, and the company finally be
came the purchasers, paying $1,000 for
the lot The railroad has already
commenced the construction of cattle
pens and yards on the ground, and in

side of the track were not adequate
for the needs of the company and the

The directors at their meeting de-
cided to make payment of 10 per
cent on the stock This will mean

first payment to the stockholders, and
will be followed by payment later
when the affairs of the company will
finally be wound up. There will be
some funds left in the treasury after
this first payment is made, but this

The treasurer OF the company, Mr..

Fireworks Without Fire.

An engineer Of New York city has
just perfected an invention which is
declared to surpass anything in the
way of colored illumination the world
has yet seen. The idea provides for
the use of steam and electric light
in conjunction in a way to put all or
binary pyrotchnic effects in the back
groud Briefly, he arranged big
array of naval searchlights so as to
throw their beams on a series of
steam jets and clouds issuing from
various sized pipes. The latter are
set in great instrument driven by a
powerful boiler and controlled by keys,
somewhat in the fashion of an organ.
ColOred discs and devices are placed
over the searchlights and operated in
conjunction with the steam machine.
All kinds of rocket effects can be pro-
duced by the light on the steam Jets,
while bursting shells and other devices
are initiated on the rolling clouds
above. Set displays of the most ar
tistic description can be produced at
will. and the color combinations are
unlimited. Moreover, the cost is
scarcely one half that involved by or
binary firework displays.

II must be a great shock to the DEM
ocrats when they read the recent re-
port of the United States treasurer
when it states that there is now a
surplus of something over fifty-one
million dollars on hand. They have
from time to time predicted a deficit
but invariably there has been an in
crease. And with three more months
in this fiscal year it looks as though
the surplus will still become greater.
What kind of argument they can use
to merit the support of the American
people is an unsolved mystery. The
prosperity of the country is unparallel-
ed, everyone is happy and prosperous,
then why should a change of the af-
fairs of the government be even
thought of at this stage The old say
ing that it is unwise to swap horses in
the middle of the stream is true one,
and to change administrations when
everyone has plenty of work would be
disastrous to the country. The repub-
lican party has proved over and over
again that its policies are best for the
country. Then it should be kept in
power.

The appointment by Governor Daw-
son OF Hon. A. b. White as state tax
commissioner to succeed Hon. Charles
Dillon, who recently resigned, will I'M
doubtedly meet with general approval
throughout the entire state. Mr.
White is one of the best posted men
on the tax question in the republican
party. He has devoted a great deal
of time to this important phase Of
legislation, hence it can be expected
that he will execute his duties in an
easy and methodical manner. 1t must
be said, however, that Mr.. Dillon made
a fearless and courageous official, and
that in retiring from public life he has
won the esteem and confidence Of the
public at large All his efforts were
blended towards relieving the great
mass of people from the oppressive
burdens OF taxation which should have
been borne by the corporations. That
he succeeded in a great measure cam
not be denied. But Mr.. White being
experienced and well informed as to
the needs OF the common people, viii
nevertheless take up the work where
Mr., Dillon left off and do his duty in
the light Of justice and equality There
fore, we feel that tax reform will have
no backward tendency while Mr..
White remains tax commissioner.

A TALK ON ADVERTISING.


Mr.. Merchant, has It ever occurred
to you that you make a big business
mistake when you fail to look upon
advertising as a trade holder as well
as trade maker and that, therefore,
1t is an error Of judgment to cut off
your advertising when the so-called
dun season arrives People forget so
soon Advertising is somewhat like
rolling a ball up hill AS long as you
push, the ball goes up; If you stop, the
ball rolls down again. Keep a pushin'
and a shown It is a mistake to cut
out your advertising in the summer
Let man cut down any other ex-
pense-cOntinue to advertise and it is
a certainty that he viii be compelled
to hire back his dispensed with help
II has been proven wise and profitable
70 let your ads begin to lengthen when
business begins to slacken. Doing
business any time of the year without
advertising is like climbing five flights
of stairs When there's an elevator SER
vice in the building. You make a mis-
take when you look upon advertising
as only an expense. Make it an in
yestment Does this substitution Of
steamboats, for sailing vessels increase
the cost of carrying?. Quite the con
trary What a lively time our large
cities emporiums would have at the
beginning of each season should they
stop advertising in the summer Half
the season would elapse before they
got the tide turned their way Stop
ping their advertisements would prove
quite expensive instead of economical.
Tn big stores boom things when the
nerveless class of merchants think of
getting into the shells. 1T costs a
lot of money" is the latter's only de-
Tense. How much this mistaken cal
culation costs the neverless, they
never figure. Just now the big rush
of Easter buying in the stores
is over and many merchants expect
a falling off in business during the
next few weeks, therefore they will
not advertise during that period in
which they are expecting "dullness,"
and so they believe, will save a little
money through a curtailment of their
publicity expenditures VIII they save?
We do not believe they will Rather,
they will lose. There are seasons of
the year when heavy trade comes al
and the people Will buy. In the dull"
seasons the demand must be created
and the free use of printers ink is
the only way in which it can be done
The merchant who believes in making
demand where there is none is the
one who will have no dull time in his
store. He is the one who will adver-
tise more persistently than ever when
there are signs of business falling
off. The merchant who quits" when
conditions seem bad and cuts out his
advertising and waits for the next
busy season is the one the people will
forget and his dull" periods will come
with unceasing monotony Get out of
the dull season idea. To the up-to-
date business man there is no such
thing.

fury Club. his lecture on "Seeing by
Touch, CT How the Blind May Become
Sclf-supportinS." The Massachusetts
Association for Promoting the Inter-
ests of the Blind, which at that time
was just being formed, engaged Mr..
Campbell to lecture throughout the
state and he was thus instrumental in
arousing an interest in the subject,
which later led to valuable financial
support to the undertakings of the as
sociatiCn. At this time temporary
commission was appointed by the state
20 investigate the condition of the blind
within the Commonwealth.
After a years Iecturing, Mr. Camp
bell was asked what recommendations
he could make for practical work
along the lines that he had been advo-
eating. He replied by urging the es-
Enlistment of q station where those
without sight too old to be admitted to
the schools for the blind could be
trained in the various crafts to which
they might be adapted.
In this enterprise he distinguished
sharply between a shop for the en-
ploynlcnt of the blind along certain
we'll established lines and training
school where any,;industry that had
not yet been tried for the blind, but
gave promise CT success, might be Civ
en- the test Of utility. He urged the
founding of an experiment station,
and in November, 1904, such a school
was ooered in Cambridge by the Mas
sachusctts Association for the Blind
with Mr.. Campbell in charge.
The station soon outsrew its Cam
bridge quarters and was moved to 6is
Massachusetts avenue, Boston. where
it already finds itself limited for space.
Anything that gave promise of success
was given trial and as result new
industries for the blind have been es-
tablished. Men and women have been
fitted to work side by side with seeing
persons in regular factories.
