Improved Condition of Roads.

Residents of Deer Park and vicinity
and those who have recently had oc-
casiOn to drive over the public roads of
that section of the county, are remark
ing upon the excellent condition of the
highways in that neighborhood, espec-
tally those under the supervision of DR..
John K. Mitchell, who was appointed
supervisor by the County Commissioners
a year or two ago. In the working of
the roads under his supervision DR..
Mitchell has combined excellent judg-
ment with modern methods of road
construction, consequently the roads
are in better condition than ever before,
much to his credit and the good judg-
ment of the Commissioners in appoint
ing him.

JARRETT COUNTY SHEEP
BRING ENORMOUS PRICES
One Hundred and FOrtY-Seven Head
Sells for $1,000 in Chicago.

Early during the present month Col
George w Treusdell, proprietor of AL
lamont Springs Farm, which is located
near Altamont, this county, shipped to
Chicago four cars of sheep in charge of
Messrs. Hugh H. Calderwood, E. c..
Friend, Winfield Germany and Robert
Thrasher, for exhibition purposes in
that city and after the show sold the
animals, realizing from the sale the sum
of $1,000.
The shipment to Chicago consisted of
lat head, all of them with the excep-
ton of one having been bred in this
county, and all were Rambouillets, the
exception being an imported ram which
Col. Treusdell purchased in France two
or three years ago and added to his flock
in this country.
At the show many first prizes were
awarded Col. Treusdell and he also car
ried off a number of second prizes, in
competition with sheep from all over
the world.
After the exhibition closed the ami
mails were sold to buyers from all sec
tons of this and foreign countries,
eighteen of them going to representa-
tives of South African breeders.
Edwards Choice, five year old ram,
was sold to the United States Govern
ment for S425. This animal will be
placed on the government experiment
farm at Laramie, Wyoming, for breed
ing purposes. Altamont, another five
year old ram was sold to A. G. Butter
field, of Weiser. Idaho, for $500. This
animal sheared forty-two pounds of
wool last year and lis probably the best
animal in the country today.
A yair of yearling rams purchased by
the Cunningham Land and Sheep Com
pany of Oregon, brought $342, while in
dividual ewes brought from $45 to 500
each.
In recent years Garrett county has
been forging ahead of all competitors in
pducts of the farm and orchard her
recent victory at the State Horticultural
Society meeting in Baltimore when she
carried off large number of first prizes
for apples and her more recent good
showing at the National Apple Growers
Convention held in Indiana, coupled with
Col. Treusdell's success in Chicago will
sooner or later attract the attention of
the entire country to the possibilities of
this the greatest county in the Union.

TO REPAIR FIRE
ALARM SYSTEM
Police Commissioners and
Chief Ward Confer About
Tapping Of the Bells

Chief William Ward Of the Fire De-
partment. Second Assistant Engineer
Gustav Roller. and drivers in the employ
Of most of the fire companies in the city.
met yesterday afternoon with the inten-
ton of appearing before the Police Com
mission to voice a general complaint Of
the fremen concerning the working Of the
fire reporting system
Chief Ward only appeared before the
Commissioners. as they were satisfied
to take his word that the system was not
working satisfactorily but they said they
already knew that. and were adopting
measures to iecate the trouble and have
it remedied.
Mr. Ward said that the hremen were
annoyed by the constant ringing Of
alarms and he said the efficiency Of the
department was impaired by It. He did
not relish the idea OF appearing before
the board to make charges against any
one, but he thought that something
should be done.
Acting Superintendent Vaughan Of the
police and fire reporting system was pres
ent and explained just how trouble &C
ours on the fire reporting lines. The
board seemed to think that he was doing
his best to overcome the defects and he
hoped in the near future to have all the
trouble remedied.
During the hearing It was intimated
that some persons might be tampering
with the system. It was pointed out that
the false taps come in mostly on clea-
days. on Sundays and holidays. while on
windy. stormy days when the most
trouble Of this kind could be expected,
the system is generally in good working
order.
Mr.. Clarkson in reply to Mr.. Ward, who
said that the system was in worse condi-
ton now than It ever had been. said
that during the eight years he has been
member Of the Police Commission he
has noticed that the same trouble ex-
listed with the fire reporting system. He
concluded the hearing by telling Chief
Ward that everything would be done to
put the system in perfect working order
and that the board could do no more than
this.

DEBT EVIDENCE
GOES INTO ASHES
Sunday Breakfast Mission
Burns Last Mortgage Of
$500 on Property

The waning hours Of the old year
brought double significance to the SER
vices in the Sunday Breakfast Mission,
Nos. 115 and III Shipley street, last night
Following a gospel meeting and preced-
ing the watch night services, a mortgage
Of $780, the last payment Of an original
mortgage Of $500 against the property
at No lis Shipley street, was burned.
The destruction of the paper represented
a labor Of five years on the part of the
officers Of the mission. The building at
No. lis was purchased as an addition to
No. III, occupied by the mission seven
years previously, subject to a mortgage
OF $780, An additional mortgage Of $500
was later taken on for improvements,
making a total Of s., 800 against the build
ing. 81, 100 Of which was paid in a first
payment The burning Of the mortgage
last night now clears the title to the
building and places the mission in a posi-
ton to further its splendid work among
the unfortunate. The mission, which is "A
chartered body. is maintained by the
contributions of persons interested in
rescue work
A large number Of the men cared for by
the mission was present as well as men
and women prominently identified with
charitable work in this city. The gospel
meeting was in charge Of Edwin W.
Quigley. Remarks by members of the
mission and testimony of conversions
comprised this part of the services. The
mortgage was then burned by Neal Con-
ly, president Of the mission, during the
singing of a hymn.
The report of the Missions work for
1907 was made by william f. Smith, the
acting superintendent. showing 1913 men
had been fed while 1857 had been pro-
vided with lodging.
The watch night services were in
charge Of Or. Comfy.
The Sunday Breakfast Mission was or
ganized in this city about Is years ago.
and took up work among the unfortunate
that had formerly been done by the
Christian Endeavor. It was from the
latter organization that the building at
No III Shipley street, now held in trust,
was acquired. The mission provides work
for men out OF employment and lodgings
and meals for the needy.

AN uP-To- DATE STORE.
The Heroy company's Artistic and
Equipped Tea Establish
ment in Chester.

The modern and up-to-date tea store
of the Heroy Company. In Chester, just
completed in the new Y. M. G. A.
building, Is very artistic, as well as the
best equipped store In that city. That
no expense has been spared in fitting
up this store is readily seen. The
walls are decorated with imported
paper of green and gold, the bins are
a rich olive, with gold decorations, as
is the electric coffee mill; the counters
are highly polished golden oak, with
mahogany tops, chairs oxidized bronze,
the chandeliers are equipped with inn
ported Austrian glaas globes Of the
lhandsomest designs. and several hum
dred dollars worth OF Japanese bric-a-
brac helps to make up the beautiful
appearance Of the store; still, with all
this. the store is a work shop; coffee
Is stored there in large quantities in
It's green state and roasted and handled
Just as Il is in n rough warehouse;
coffee roasted while you wait is what
the firm says. and It is so; for there
is a modern coffee roaster installed in
the store window that roasts the cof-
fee, TO the interest Of the people who
are constantly on hand watching the
roaster i'm operation. There are many
interesting things about roasting coffee
and It's cultivation that very few cof-
fee drinkers know anything about.
The establishment Of such a store in
Chester is due to w r. Mansley.
Chester man. who IS I'm charge Of the
Heroy store in Wilmington. He is
very proud OF the store.
The " M. C. A. Is to be congratu-
lated for securing a tenant that has
kept up the fine appearance OF the new
building. All Of the Heroy stores are
patterned after this style. Herbert
Heroy president and general manager
of the company. opened the first ex-
elusive one-prlced tea store in New
York city nearly twenty years ago.
The company conducts stores at
Philadelphia, Easton, Reading, Wilkes
barre. Pa. Trenton. n j.; Whining
ton. Richmond. Va, and several other
cities
The selection, buying and blending
of all the teas and cofees handled by
the company is done by Mr. Heroy
personally; an experience Of 20 years
In this expert work has made his judg-
ment second TO none in the business.
