The JOURNAL utilized the Elkins CIV.
Va excursion over the Western Mary
land railroad last Sunday to make
brief visit to Luray, Va.
From Cumberland the run of 1863
miles was made in five hours, nothing
occurring out of the usual rontjUe except
a lurch of the train near Elgin. several
miles north of Luray, threw ii man out
of a baggage car into the ditch. The
train counter-ran nearly a mile, picked
him up, and IA bloody sight he was! He
was taken to Luray, his wounds dressed
and on the return train went home.
His name is Albert Mikel living at
Henry, w. Va.
At Luray the JOURNAL jumped off,
sought livery stable but could not hire
owing to "all equipment OUT The
great paper set out on foot, walked to
the site of Isabella Furnace once a
hive of industry; looked at The Big
Spring" and other features. The
changes have been great. The mansion
house and mill are no more, and the
spring, once a lake of placid, crystal
beauty, is now a jungle of rock, earth
and weed.
The great paper wanted to cross the
creek and climb over the hill to the "old
forge" but there was no bridge. Mean
while great black cloud began to loom
up i'll the north and rumbles of thunder
advised retreat. Hustling backward,
the town was made just i'll time-at the
expense of breathlessness, WEAKNESS and
perspiration. Several showers, attended
by lightning, fell, partly keeping the
JOURNAL from calling upon several
school mates.
Al last venture out was made and a
visit to L. j. Berrey, editor of the
COUrier, was the dcHOuPmeHt. A little
while with him aud his charming family
and then came near return-train time
He was escort, and en- rOUte we stopped
at John n. Chapmans residence, and
there saw four bOyhood friends-three
of them school-mates Samuel f. and
w. A. Chapman, Thomas II, and An
drew Campbell. The Chapmans were
to John S. Mosby all that Marshal Ney
was to apOleOn-"the bravest of the
brave" Andrew Campbell was one of
the two discoveries of 1.-The Eighth
Wonder of the World'-the great
caverns. and Thomas r. has held sew
eral positions of public trust.
How delightful was the all-too- briefin-
terview this pencil ca nnot depict!
Leaving, regretfully, at 3 p. m, Cum
berland was reached at 1913, Frostburg
at II. midnight.
Always picturesque little town, the
best view of the larger Luray is one of
great beauty. For the most part, like
Frostburg, it is "a city set upon hill. 4"
Fifty years ago there were comparatively
few trees visible; now, from the north
east hills, it is city-sylvan scene.
Better than all, it is populated by
hospitable, social, good people.
The JOURNAL loves to visit Luray.

Correspondence.

Rev. DR.. II. A. Griesemer, of Balti-
more, is thoroughly i'll earnest when he
cOmmendS all of us. All he writes of
the town, people, and JOURNAL, is what
he believes, and if we entertained and
cultivated the same high estimate of
each other, there wouldn't be social
estracism nor business jealousy in the
community, and frPryb0dy rouH take
the JOURNAL! Avoiding overdraft of
the situation-isn't it more or less fact
that we think less of each other than
visitors think of us: Is it not true that
very many of our guests admire the
town and its environment more than we
do! And the JOURNAL regrets to con
fesS that it kn0~s that most of those who
give Frostburg most credit for having
paper of the JOURNALS character do not
live here. Atiirmatively stated, it is
too true that the prophet" is too much
without honor in his own country"
The JOURNAL, therefore, thanks DR..
Griesemer for affording the opportunity
to state an actual truth. He did so
without intention, but none the less
certainly.

HAWAII WILL Be IN
VAUDEVILLE CIRCUIT

w. d. Adams, manager of the Ha-
waiian Opera House, has received ad.
vices of the organization of an around
the-world theatrical circuit, which in
cludes Honolulu. The company will
maintain continuous movement of
vaudeville companies playing at the
thcaters listed in turn, so that Homo
lulu will at stated intervals, depend.
ing upon the steamer schedules, have
new people at whatever theater is Sc
lected in this city. Walter Hoff Seeley,
of San Francisco, will be the vice
president of the new corporation and
general manager as well, and will con
duct the management from the Valen
Ella theater in San Francisco. The
company is known as the William Nor
ris company.
Arrangements are practically finish
ed for an utilization of the Morris in
terests with those of Beresford & Glib
bons of London, the largest booking
agents in Europe, which will give the
Morris company circuit around the
world, including theaters in Australia
The new western combination takes
over the chain of theaters formerly
owned or controlled by j. Charles
Green and Walter Hoff Seeley, of sar
Francisco, operating as the Valenci0
theater company. The capital stock
of the new company is $1,000,000.
In opening this field of increased
activity the Morris interests will en-
gage more and better features, ant
will take all the stop line" acts OIL
long time contracts. In making book
ings for the coming season they viii
be able to give the various performer
at least 50 weeks of solid engagements
and when the world circuit is com
pleted they contemplate putting som'
of the largest vaudeville stars on fv,
years contracts.

model of manual training schools in
existence. Gen. Armstrong died still
lecturing and touring the country to
get more funds with which to endow
the school. 1t was his lifework and he
put into it all his strength and more
than he could afford for he died a com.
paratively young man in 1903. He was
buried at Hampton, Virginia, and his
grave is marked by a block of stone
taken from near his old Punahou School
for he always had aloha for Hawaii
nei
He seemed to be one of those fortu-
nate men who enjoyed the work they
did more than anything else in the
world. He once said, "Few men have
had the chance that l had. / never
gave up or sacrificed anything in my
life-have been, seemingly, guided in
everything. He was acting upon his
beliefs for he had said, "Nothing pays
like working for ideas. Ideas, like bull
lets, are at the forefront of progress
where men should be- He was hard
fighter because he was n strong patriot
He once said, "When a nation give:
up it's best youth to save its principle!
and its freedom, it is richer for the
sacrifice Another time he said
"Lookout that no one of you shall be
come a man with n country, half
hearted America; plant the stick Of
your destiny somewhere, and fight il
out. Stand for something beside you
own personal interest,"
| With all his serious work, he neve
!, seemed to grow old. He was Away
ready for laugh and frolic whel
off duty. That made him light hearted
even when overburdened with work
One of his sayings was, GA man VIII
cannot enjoy boys is too old to live. ,
And though he died as result of over
work one of his sayings was, cit pay
to follow ones best light. To put Coz
and country first; ourselves afterwards
Taps is just sounded.'
The quality which made him ferc
fighter and won for him promotion il
the army was because he acted upon tn
theory which he afterwards espresso
as follows:
"Call fool s errand not that of
man who burns his ships and attempt
what seems impossible, but the life o
man who risks nothing and hugs safe
ty and comfort. Only what the worl
calls folly is worthy of the moral enel
gies of man. Doing what can't be don
is the glory of living"

was reported that they were utterly
Disguised. The advice of the Consul
General was for the strikers to return
to work Internationally.
Then ensued a discussion as how best
to end the strike. Apparently the dele
gates could make no progress for they
debated until o'clock in the morning.
They arrived at no conclusion, except
that another committee was appointed
still further to go into the subject OF
ending the strike without Gloss OF

Jill that the strikers were prepared to

GOVERNOR WILL CALL
COMMITTEE TOGET Their

Governor Frear stated yesterday that
he expected soon to call meeting of
the Committee on Visiting Congress
men to formulate and consider plans
for the entertainment and education
of the visitors when they arrive. This
committee is provided for in the act
of the Legislature appropriating $780,
600 to pay the expenses of bringing the
distinguished visitors to Hawaii, and
includes the Governor and the Secre-
tary of the Territory, the Delegate TO
Congress, five Senators including Presi-
dent w. o. Smith, and five Represent
atives including Speaker Lincoln Hol-
stein.
While the general idea, of course,
is to give the Congressman chance
to see as much of the islands as posi-
BILE during their visit, there will prob
ably be change from the way the
party was handled last time. Instead
of taking the visitors around in one
big party, they will probably be div.
ided into a number of smaller crowds
which will be easier to handle. There
will also be less formal entertainment
and the visitors will be left more to
do as they please and go where they
please.
