Consistency 4 Virtue.

In giving in his testimony before the
jury last Friday, Mr.. Jos. f. Thropp was
particular to try and impress the jury
that his damage was very great on ac-
count of the railroad running through his
property, when pressed by his counsel to
name his damages in dollars and cents
he refused to do so. He refused time
and time again. He said he could not tell
how much ore was in the old mines and
hence he wanted the jury to set down
with pencil and paper and speculate for
him on his damages, when he was not
willing to tell them himself. Very con-
sistent man is Mr.. Thropp; very phlIan-
thropic man too.
If Mr.. Thropp continues to hold up the
railroad after two juries have passed on
the property, he can't expect to receive
much commentator from the people OF
the county who are trying to push thro'
this public enterprise. There is time
coming when Mr.. Thropp may feel the
sting of all this.

The proDoscd Lincoln Boulevard.

There is logic in the claim that, if the
national government is to build high
way from Washington, d. c., to Gettys
burg, Pa, as memorial to Abraham
Lincoln, the highway should be built
through Frederick. AS proposed by Con-
gresham Lafean, who has announced his
intention to introduce bill for the con-
struction of the highway at the next SEES
sion of Congress, the road is to run from
Washington in direct line to Westmn-
ster, Md, and from Westminster in a
direct line to Gettysburg. By taking
this route, little, if any, distance would
be saved as compared with the route
proposed by Mr.. Lafean would not com
pare with the route through Frederick in
historical interest or scenic attractive
ness.
Coming by way of Frederick the road
would pass by the historic field Of the
Battle of the Monocacy, and would bring
the traveller over the boulevard into touch
here at Frederick and elsewhere along
the line, with many matters of national
historic interest. 1t was here in Freder-
lex that General Meade received notice
of the change in command by reason of
which, a few days later, he directed the
Union troops at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Here lie the remains of the great Chief
Justice fancy, and the remains of the
e al
tiful monument over whose grave will
always be of interest to travellers. Here
was the home and here is the grave of
Barbara Fritchie-points Of sentimental,
if not of historical, interest. 1t Was
from Frederick that General Braddock
started out on his expedition to Western
Pennsylvania. Through Frederick, many
of the Union troops passed on their way
to the battle at Gettysburg. This route
would bring the traveller nearer, by many
miles, to the battlefelds of South Mount
ain and Antietam than the other route
would. These and other matters are
sufficient to make a strong claim for
Frederick for consideration inthe choice
of route for the proposed Lincoln Boul-
evard-a claim with which any that might
be advanced in behalf of the Westmin-
ster route could hardly compare. To be
sure, the Westminster route would take
the boulevard a longer distance through
territory included in Congressman La
fean's district than the Frederick route
would, but that is a matter which, how
ever important it may seem to Mr.. La
fean and his constituents, should not be
considered in connection with great
national project Of this character. When
the project comes before Congress, Fred
erick S claims to consideration in connec-
ton with it should be properly present

Fairfield vs.. ThurmOnt.

FalfnrN vs.. InurMOnI.
Visitors Badly Beaten-ErrOrs Prevent
Il ShutOut.
The Fairfield baseball club came to
Thurmont Saturday and crossed bats
with the local club. From all that had
been heard of this team, it had been con-
ceeded that Thurmont would not be in
the game but, oh my! Twas not long
before opinions were changed. Pitcher
Reed went into the game with one object
in view-t to shut them out. At the end
of the fifth inning but two of the Wis.,
itors had reached second base and he
had 10 strikeouts to his credit. In the
sixth with two out and one on base, a
ball was knocked to centerfield and was
muffed which allowed score, and again
in the seventh wild throw allowed an
other score. Had not these two errors
been made Mr.. Reed would have attain
cd his object.
Swope was in the box for the visitors
until the fifth inning when he was ~e.
lieved by Lowe. Marshall. who started
to catch for the visitors had finger in
jured in the first inning and was relieved
by Moore. The Fairfield boys are jolly
set of fellows and took their defeat good
naturally, acknowledging Reed to be a
wonder and their inability to locate with
his delivery. Score:

Who Will Assist?

1t has been pointed out with much force
that the proper location of the State
Road should be from KNOXVILLE to LIB
ertv, thence to Woodsboro and Creagers-
town, thence by Graceham to Thurmont
and on through Harmon's Gap to Fox
vile and Smithsburg. The Commission
has decided that the road should traverse
the State east and west from Garrett
county to Baltimore city. This would
put the road through a section that has
practically no good roads and would con-
meet up series of towns and villages
that would be of immense benefit to them
and the county through which the road
should pass. 1t is possible to get this
road located as above, and the citizens
along this route should impress Governor
Crothers and Of the Commission
that something should be done for the
north end of Frederick county. Freder-
lex has all the good roads and it is not
fair to run the State road through Fred
erick city as it is proposed to do.

| CHICAGO, March 11.-There are
at least 40 distinct groups of an.
archists in Chicago alone, with H..
900 members and sympathizers!
There is one American group,
and any number of Italian, Russian,
German, French and Jewish
groups.
The leader of them all is Lucy
Parsons, half Indian, half Spanish;
widow of one of the anarchists who
were hanged on account of the
notorious Haymarket riots.
She lives in big three story
house at 324 s. Morgan ST., ana
there, with her pupils around her,
she shakes her fist at the police
and SCOTS at the suggestion of
punishment.
"Jails? Cells?" she cries. what

what l heard him say, just few
weeks ago? He said, 4 believe that

human liberty and happiness Yet

Mrs. Parsons says that the
American group is known as the
Social Science league 1t has its
headquarters in the Masonic tenn
pie and has among its members a
number of highly educated persons.
One of the most notorious groups
is known as Edelstadt's group. It
meets every week over a printing
shop at 429 Union st. and claims
200 members. It's fiercest spirit is
young Jew named William Mattel
son.
The Chicago anarchists do not
hesitate to proclaim their sympa-
thies boldly. They pass out glaring
handbills advertising their meet
ings. One recent notice announced
a celebration of the anniversary of
the Paris commune on March IS.
Mrs. Parsons says the members
of the police department are
"blockheads.
They little suspected, she said,
the tremendous underground move
ment which was going on, and
which would, in a few years, bring
forth a bloody revolution and over
throw not only the government iof
