The DrempIe Library Exists.

Dir. A. T. Clay. assistant professor
of Semitic philology and archaeology,
has done much very remarkable work
as an interpreter of the cuneiform
texts brought from Babylonia. AS to
the Identity of the supposed Temple
librarT" at Nippur, he said, when in
tervIewed on the subject:
you ask If there was a Temple H.
brafy at Nippur? Most assuredly
there was. Nearly 20 years ago DR..
Peters found tablets in the mounds at
Nippur, which he designated as relics
OF a library. We have at the museum
many religious texts of the early
period in Babylonian history. But
these are exactly what you would ex-
pect to find, for every Babylonian city
had its temple and cultus. and in con-
necticn with them schools for scribes

Religious and Literary Texts.

There must have been great
mass of religious literature In exist
ence. There must have been in use
hymns to all the gods, in practically
every cult, for in Nippur not only
ELL, but most of the other divinities
of the middle east were worshiped.
There must also have been large num-
bers of inscriptions, omen texts, ETC.,
which are to be classed under the
head of literature. Thousands of these
texts have been found at Nippur, and
we have many of them at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. One Of our
staff is now working at the translation
of religious texts. Other volumes en-
bodying the results of study Of the tab
let's have been projected and will be
published in due order. l would not
be surprised If national epic should
eventually be found in part or whole
in Babylonian tablets.
1.-THE question as to what the depos-
tory of all this material shall be
called, whether a temple library or
something else, is of comparatively
trivial Importance, although 1t admits,
of course, of some discussion. The
temple was certainly the chief insti-
tuition of the city, and dominated all
the rest. The fact that arithmetical
matter was found in the library would
not make 1t any the less library.

sylvania contains statistical books of

ANOTHER STABLE IN ASHES.
Fifth Stable in ThurmOnt Burn
ed Since Jan'y %, 1908.
Origin A Mystery.

On Saturday evening last about 7:45
O'Clock the large crowd of people on the
streets of this place were startled by the
cry of fire.
Flames were discovered issuing from
the roof of the stable on the rear of the
property of Doctor W. Zentz, who at
present is living in Wayne3boro, Pa, the
property now being rented by Mrs. E.
Runkles.
The fire bell was rung and in few
minutes two streams of water were being
played on the burning building. After a
brave and heroic fight the flames were
under control and further loss of other
buildings prevented. In the building was
a small quantity of feed, the family
mare of Mrs. Runkles and a hack and
passenger wagon, the property of Mr..
BENZ. Dorsey, liveryman, all of which
were burned. The first to arrive found
the interior of the building all in blaze
and owing to the stable door being lock-
ed, were unable to get the horse out.
Within few feet of this stable is the
stable on the property of Miss Ella Mar
tin. This was on fire several times, but
by prompt action of the firemen it was
saved; several holes being burned in the
roof. The barn on the property occupied
by Mr.. Rob't A. Tyson was also in dang
err, sparks falling thick on the roof. No
damager resulted however.
The stable that was destroyed was,
perhaps, the oldest in town, the main
portion of the building having been built
of stone to the square and on the proper
ty owned by the late Andrew Seton.
The building was insured.

EDITOR CLARION
To the masses of the residents in this
community, certainly the most shocking
and sorrowful occurrence here since last
weeks issue of your paper was that of
the very sudden death Thursday morning
last of Mr.. Josiah Freeze, which happen
ed at the home of his son Wiber, where
he had gone in his buggy to deliver can
of lard Thus the earthly career of an
other of our highly esteemed and useful
citizens ended.
Mr.. Freeze was a good man, desira-
BILE citizen, a pronounced benefactor in
his way. He was born and reared to
manhood within stonesthrow of Apples
church, and has all the remainder of his
life lived within quarter of mile of
that edifce. He owned comfortable
home, a good team, wagons and farming
implements, and with these his services
were at all times in demand and sought
for by his neighbors and others of small
agricultural holdings. In this respect a
very decided void remains to be filled, to
say nothing of the more important feat
ures connected with his demise From
early boyhood he had been consistent
member of the Lutheran church, though
charitable to all other denominations, and
regularly attended all preaching services.

Mr.. josiah Freeze Expires.

Mr.. Josiah Freeze, well known ana
highly respected citizen of near this
place, died very suddenly Thursday morn
ing last at the home of his son Wilbur,
who resides in the tenement house of w.
T. Grimes midway between Thurmont
and Graceham. Mr.. Freeze was an in
dustrious man, doing hauling, blowing
and all kinds of farm work for persons
in this locality At the time of his death
he had taken can of lard to his son and
on arriving complained of not being well.
After few words with Mrs. Freeze he
turned toward the door presumably to &c
to his team, when suddenly he staggered
toward Mrs. Freeze who caught him,
but was unable to keep him up, he went
to the floor, dying almost instantly. DR..
Jas. K. Waters was summoned but when
he arrived he had been dead some time.
His death is attributed to heart failure,
supposed to have been caused by acute
Indigestion. The body was removed to
his home near Apples church by under
taker Black.
Mr.. Freeze was a consistent member
of the Lutheran church. He was twice
married, his first wife had been sister
of Major C. A. Damuth of Thurmont,
and his second, Miss Whitmore, who
with two sons, Wilbur and Luther, the
latter residing in Chambersburg, Pa, anc
two daughters, Mrs. Samuel Gigeous, OF
near Thurmont, and Mrs. William Cover
of Five Forks, Pa, survive him.
Funeral services were held Saturday
afternoon in st. Johns Lutheran church.
Rev. M. l.. Beard assisted by Rev. Guy
p. Bready, officiating. The deceast c
was aged 81 years, 10 months and
days. Intermcnt was made in U. b.
