PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH
POLICY OF INFRINGEMENT BY
TOM FITZGERALD.
Cumberland Times Says That Hun
dreds Of Railroad Men Have Been
Thrown Out of Employment.

In regard to- the recent reduction
in traffic and working forces on the
Baltimore C Ohio the Cumberland
Times makes the following statement
1.-THE purpose of the company in
trking such measures is to reduce
the operating expenses to the lowest
possible figure in order that the pro-
fits may mount as high as possible
SO that a good showing can be made
at the end of the year.
.'sThis looks like very poor economy
when a company will practically sus-
pend business for the purpose of saw
ing a few dallars when it might just
as we'll have operated and made a
few.
.'In the local yards the yard engines
were mostly all laid off and nothing
whatever moved but the Q. d. freight,
which has to go at all times and of
course the passenger trains.
1T is said by the men that the en-
Sliie5 dI ILLS tllic dic III tic WI .
condition they have been in for years
and that many are hardly able to haul
the trains. 1t is said that four broke
down on the Parkersburg branch Sat-
urday afternoon and had to be laid
off with their trains along the sid
ings.
"This is the policy of General Man
aeer Fitzgerald, who has reduced ex-
penses in the shops until he, has al
most reduced the locomotives to
scrap iron as the result, but with his
resignation it is thought by the men
here that work will pick up at once
in such manner that almost all Of
the engines will be laid up at once
for general repairs and this will re-
care a great many men working full
time ana overtime 10 accomplish.
eThere were rs engines in the Ice i
yards Sunday and they were lined MP
in long rows on all the divisions. The
round houses, too, we're full AM there
are fully 80 or more engines laid up
now in the erecting shops to be gem
orally ovefhauled and rebuilt
IF these statements are true, that
i the condition of the motive power
on the Cumberland and Monongah dr.
visions, in such shape as the Times
gives it would appear that the Balti-
more & Ohio management have been
penny wise and pound foolish IN

An accident which might have
resulted seriously, happened to
the o. D. lumber teams on last
Sunday evening. The road down
the mountain was very slick after
the rain, and one wagon slipped
over an EN- mbankment and rolled to
the bottom of the canyon several
feet below. Fortunately no lives
were lost. The drivers jumped,
and both he and the other mules,
escaped with few scratches.
Who put their socks in the water
pipe? The campers here are very
indignant over some w-down
wretch putting dirty socks in the
box from which water is piped to
the boarding house and private
camps. Fortunately, for the one
suspected of the crime, for crime it|
rightly is, he has left camp For
shame to think that people who
would do their felIowmen such
low down dirty trick, are called
good citizens.

ing eyes, it's peculiar habits,
stealthy movements, night Prov
ling and its strange vocal ac-
complishments, ranging from soft
musical "mewing" to the "wail-
ing shrek" described by Poe,
"half of horror and half of
triumph such as might have
arisen only out of hell, con-
jointly from the throats of the
damned in their agony, and of
the demons that exult in the
damnation."
Upon this atmosphere of mys-
terry which attaches to the cat
and the widespread belief that
the animal exercises a mysterious
influence over the lives and des-
TIMES of human beings, the poet
Poe founded his grewsome tale,
''The Black Cat."
These curious beliefs and sup
erstitions attaching to the cat
existed in very early times, says
the Boston Herald. In ancient
Egypt the cat was sacred to the
Goddess Isis and was held in the
highest reverence. Temples
were erected in it's honor and
sacrifices and devotions offered
up to it.
When the family cat of an
Egyptian family died the men,
bers of the household we're re-
CURED to shave off their eyebrows.
In the city of Cairo there was
within very recent years an in
stitution for the care of destitute
cats.
In Massachusetts, it "brings
good luck" to throw a dead cat
over the left shoulder and turn
around twice, says a sage of the
Kansas City Star.
In Alabama the spirit of an
old maid alter death takes pos
session of some black cat. In
the same State to cut off the end
of black cats tail and bury it
under the doorstep is to keep
sickness out of the family.
The belief that it is bad luck
to kill a cat is general, and in
Pennsylvania and Iowa is found
the superstition that if farmer
kill cat some of his stock will
die.
The black cat also makes"good
medicine" Here are some spe
cimens of scat cure" lore:
The blood of cat will cure a
spawned horse.
Blood from the tip of the tail
of black cat without a single
white hair will cure sty.
Apply the freshly removed
skin of cat as a remedy for shin
giles.
The heart of a black cat, ap-
piled as aoon as killed, will stop
bleeding from a wound.
The skin Of a black cat worn in
ones clothing will cure rheuma
tism.
Here are a few specimens Of
the omens which are associated
with the feline:
II you dream of cat it signi.
fies that you have ali enemy.
In Canada, Michigan and East.
