FORD's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week January 9th, w. A. Brady an
nounces the greatest play of modern
times,
THE MAN OF THE HOUR"
by George Broadhurst.
An important theatrical event is the
coming next week of the greatest dra-
matte event of the season, ''The Man OF
the Hour" George Broadhurst's remark
able play the production of which has
been notably successful at the Metropolis
and throughout the country.
Of this great play and its success, an
eminent critic writes every woman will
love this play, she will love every char
acter in it, even to the men who are not
as good as some of the others. She will
love every word they speak, and why?
because the women in the play talk like
husbands, brothers, fathers, sons and
sweethearts of real life, because the
women in the play are like the women
we like to have round us at home. Be-
>.cause what the men and women of '"The
Man of the Hour" will say is the speech
of human beings and sounds like what
we hear every day at home, IN the streets,
in short 1.-The Man of the Hour is sure
to succeed wherever it is acted in the
United States, because it shows Ameri-
can men and women of all classes as they
really are.

absolutely necessary to health that we

the first signs of trouble-which are
belching of gas, nausea, sour stomach,
headache, irritability and nervousness.

If a cough once gets into your system
it acts on every muscle and fibre of the
body and makes you ache all over. 1t
especially affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, SO in order to get rid of
a cold thoroughly and without delay you
should not take anything that will tend
to constipate. Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup acts upon the bowels and thereby
drives the cold out of the system. 1t con-
tains no opiates-t is pleasant to take
and is highly recommended for children.

see your manager, secure permission from
him to use the basement of the hall and
there start the pitchers and catchers to
work. Have all who wish to try for
positions handed their names to the man.
ager or captain? you know all positions
are open and the battery this year will
be very weak spot if early work is not
soon commenced. Surely one hour every
Sunday afternoon before church would
not be asking too much. The team that
represented S. A. G. during 1907 was
certainly worthy of praise, and this year
all should strive to make the 1908 team
far better than one of 1907. This can
all be done by starting indoor work be-
fore it is too late.

i'll is some what better.

to receive the CLARION as it keeps me
posted with the doings of the pleasant

are many according to what learn from
your valu; bic paper, but | have been
made sad many, many times when see
recorded the deaths of SO many of my
old friends and associates. 1t will be ten
years in the spring since | left Thurmont
and came Philadelphia, and in that time
there has been near 70 people whom |
knew in Thurmont and vicinity that have
been called on to give up their labors in
this world, and hope are enjoying the
happiness of eternity. When look back
over this short space of time and see the
many changes that have come to pass it
reminds me anew that it is not all of life
to live. wish you prosperous and
happy year.
Yours very truly,

From Thurmont To Bethel By Rail.
Sunday morning last five young men on
pleasure bent left 1hurmont on Fast Mail
train for llagerstown. On arriving at
this pace they bought tickets for Fred
crick city over the trolley road between
the two cities, departing on the $40 a.
m. car and arrived in Frederick between
II and u o'clock. After securing dinner
at the "Gem" restaurant and taking in
the sights about the city they boarded
the W., F. & G. excursion train at 2
o'clock and went to Bethel, or as far as
the train went. They were here met by
Mr. Frank Fraley and driven the greater
part of the way home. They speak in
high praise of the trip and are the first
to make to circuit. By having mileage
to Hagerstown their carfare to Bethel
amounted to but $1.26. No doubt many
others will make this trip once the w.,
F. & G. is completed to Tharmont. Those
making the trip were DR.. E. B. Seton,
Grayson Shaffer, Kleason Stull, Evers

EXPLOSION WRECKS
ROME EXCHANGE
Twenty Persons Injured and the
Building Wrecked.
PANIC IN STREET CROWD

Rome. Jan. 1.-THE Temple of Nep-
tune. built by Iladrian, and standing
In the center OF the Forum OF Ag-
rippa. now occupied by the stock ex-
change. was the scene OF a tremendous
explosion. causing a sensation almost
as great as the explosion of a bomb in
st. Peters on Nov. is. 1906. The con-
cussion was so great that many persons
throughout the city were terrified and
great crowds rushed to the scene
Within the building there were many
people. but fortunately the great ma
jority OF the brokers had left. No one
was killed but twenty persons chiefly
clerks were injured.
The explosion resulted In the coll
lapse OF the roof of the exchange and
a number OF those injured We're caught
In the wreckage but later were released
by the firemen who responded to the
call
Although first impressions were that
the explosion was caused by bomb
thrown by some one who wished either
w RltNNHA AiA' Gnu vi AAAN
dation or TO take advantage of the con-
fusion to commit an extensive theft.
IL was generally accepted later that the
disaster came from an explosion of gas.
Officials, however. who made an invest
tigation do not admit such a possi-
bilIty. but as there Is no evidence to
show that bomb was thrown the
probability of gas explosion has been
given out by the police.
Within half an hour of the explosion
hundreds of brokers were gathered
within the exchange. when money and
securities to the amount of several
million dollars changed hands. Luck
lily the business Of the day was over
and most of the brokers were return
ing to their homes. leaving behind the
clerks and exchange officials TO com
plete their labors.
The detonation was terrific and when
the roof fell clouds OF dust were thrown
high in the air. The police. firemen
and troops hurried to the scene and
had difficulty in calming the excite
ment OF the thousands who rushed to
the temple Later when another ex-
plosion was feared the crowd again
became panic stricken and many
persons received minor injuries in tho
resulting crash Most Of those who
were taken from the ruins had receiv-
ed injuries about the head and upper
part of the body although none was
known to have been injured fatally
Soon there was a procession of injured
In open cabs and ambulances to the
