Richard Watson Glider, editor of the Century Magazine since its Organiza- tion in 1881, poet, author and publicist, died on Thursday at the home of Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, in New York city, where he was a guest. He was one of the alemberS of that circle of literary men of whom William Dean Howells and Mark Twain alone sur vive. New York knew him also as q citizen ever mindful of the best inter- ests of the city and a power. in cam paigns for civic betterment. He was for many years an intimate friend of Grover Cleveland.
 MT. Glider was born in Bordentown, N. J.. Feb. 8, 1S44. His father was a Methodist clergyman, the Rev. w. H Glider. who had founded the Bellevue seminary there. When the pastor and his family removed to Flushing, N. Y.. Richard. then in his twelfth year, published the St. Thomas Register, named from his fathers school, St. Thomas Hall.
 When the northern cause seemed threatened in the campaign of 1863 he enlisted in Landis' Philadelphia bat tery and was under fire in the defense of Carlisle. With the term of his en- listment at an end, young Glider faced the alternative of completing his study of law, with many financial hardships entailed, or of entering business and earning his living. He accepted d po- sition as paymaster of the Camden and AmbOy railroad. where he remained only a short time. In 1865 he yielded t0 his inclinations and became a re- nn-!or and thenceforth devoted his life to literary pursuits.

Tact means thinking about others. It means considering what others will think instead of considering only what we think ourselves. 1t means acting in concert with others instead of act ing only for ourselves.

Letter From Our Local
CORRESPONDENT.

A number of Thurmont's wide awake
young ladies who consider out door beau
ty as worth while have very creditably
signified their willingness to join cheer
fully in organized effort TO thoroughly
clean up the front and back yards of
homes and business places, the streets
and alleys, play grounds, parks or what
soever, and thus render Thurmont the
most beautiful, attractive and inviting
town in the state-say nothing of her
charming environments. Pleasant views
give pleasure. No one understands this
better than do the ladies in this move
ment, and equally so will clean and tidy
kept homes, streets, places of business
or amusement, attract people to town
whether in quest of pleasure or mer-
.handise. Itcertainly does pay to "spruce
up nowadays anyway.
"Pen Mar cannery is still there and
Pm glad of it, remarked an observent,
needy and worthy young lady when on
Thursday last she for the first time this
eason heard the blasts of the whistle
.ummoning workmen to the spot. Root
Bros. deserve much credit for continue
,g and pushing this very beneficial en-
terprise as it provides food, clothing and
shelter for many needy and deserving
one of this community.
No, it is not at all necessary to take a
squirt over the site of ones old tiintlock
to discern the passing OF the F. f.
pike. Surely and lamentably are the
Autos getting in their deadly work.
Plans are being laid for the erection
of fine residence and spacious business
rooms on Church street.
AS an adjunct to their varied business
interests the w. Nj. company have in
course of construction in close proximity
to the freight house here a building
wherein the business of timing will be
conducted under the supervision of our
.ownsman, Cl,mence Willhide, whose
services the company has secured.
"Too far gone say the farm. ars and
other tllers Of the soil 1t seems that
the fine rain of fortnight ago did not
have the revlving effect upon the grow
ing corn and other crops that was sin
cerely hoped for. The drouth had been
too long drawn out and severe. The vi
tally of the plants had been Slapped be-
yond recovery before relief came-say
they and as result half crop can
hardly be expected, in this community
at least, and this is not all nor, perhaps,
the worst of it. The drouth is persistent
and continues 1t is noticeable that there
is an abnormal shedding of both foliage
and fruit from the trees, and that the
pasture fields are burnt and bare. AS a
result of the latter condition we can con-
fdently look forward to milk and but
ter famine and consequent advance in
the price of same. With many this story
may be regarded as unwarranted and
direful, but the picture is hardly, in the
least, overdrawn.

Robbed of Diamonds at Pen.Mar.

The Waynesboro. Pa, [scord Of Aug
ust 18th says:
"A diamond robbery of unusual magni
tude occurred at Pen Mar yesterday even.
ing. Mrs. Jerome Diggs, Baltimore,
who has rooms at Ottoray cottage, was
the loser by the successful haul of the
robber.
Diamonds valued at $3.50, quantity
of money and some railroad tickets were
stolen from her room in the cottage be-
tween and 9 O'Clock.
How the robbery was committed is
not known but it is supposed the thief
entered the cottage by the rear way,
found his way into Mrs. Diggs' room
and made off with his plumber. F"
Referring to the above robbery the
Herald, of the same city, dated August
18th, reports as follows:
1.-The great diamond robbery at the
Ottoray, Pen-Mar, has developed mys-
terry greater than the robbery itself.
"Mr. and Mrs. Diggs have suddenly
returned to Baltimore and the half dozen
detectives who had been summoned to
Pen-Mar to find the $3.50 worth of jewels
have lost interest in the hunt for the thief
or thieves and sought other climes.
1.-THE jewels are gone. The owner hal
gone. The detectives have gone. All
are gone. No one knows where the gems
or thief are. THY only surmise where
the owner of the gems and detectives are.
"Details of the robbery itself add to
the mystery.
The Diggs family including Mr.. and
Mr., Diggs. their son and neice and other
quo SITS were sitting on the large porch
at the cottage about o'clock Monday
eve ming, watching the electrical display.
Mr.. Mercer, an employe, during one of
the flashes of lightning, remarked how
beautiful Mrs. Diggs' diamonds appear
ed in the light caused by the lightning.
Thi. was reminder for Mrs. Diggs, who
thel aupon went Immediately to her bed
room, taking from her person, her dia-
IIlOI l DTOOCH, uldlIlOlu ear rings dllu n
diamond ring, wrapping them in hand
kerckief which was then placed in a
black bag. The bag with the precious
jewc!ry was placed in the rear of the
bed.
Mrs. Diggs then returned to the porch
and joined the party. About half hour
later Mrs Mercer advised Mrs. Diggs to
take better care of her jewelry. Mrs.
Diggs then went to her bedroom, pro-
cured the black bag which was supposed
to contain her jewelry. She carried it
to the porch and held it on her lap nearly
two hours until IL when she returned to
her room for the purpose of retiring.
She then, to her amazement discovered
that they were missing.
"She quickly notified other guests.
Thinking that the jewels might have
been misplaced by Mrs. Diggs thor
ough search was made throughout the
housebut no trace of them could be
found"

Big Excursion.

On Thursday of last week an excursion
train was run from Frederick to Gettys-
burg over the W., F. & G. and W. M.
railroads. About four hundred persons
availed themselves of the opportunity
and went to see the great battlefield with
it's hundreds of monuments. Just how
many hundreds of people would go from
Frederick and surrounding country towns
to Gettysburg during summer season
if an electric road connected the two
places is hard to compute, but safe to
say many more than went on Thursday
last.

Delightfully."- Entertained.

The entertainment given by st. Ste
phen's Guild Thursday evening, the pro-
gram of which was given in our last issue,
was thoroughly enjoyed by large and
appreciative audience. AS was stated,
the majority of those having part in the
program were citizens of the town, Mrs.
C. A. Vedder of Baltimore, and Miss
Mary Snyder of Frederick, being the only
two from distance.
Mrs. Vedder's solo numbers were very
well received and enjoyed and Miss Sny-
der's readings were among the hits of
the evening. Among the new faces on
the stage were Rev. Thos. G. Hill and
Mr.. Edgar Daniels. Rev. Hill has very
rich baritone voice. His solo was beau
tiful and the audience showed its appre-
citation by prolonged applause, not being
satisfied until he appeared second time.
Mr.. Daniels is popular young man of
this place, being the son of Mrs. Bertha
Eldredge. He is violin pupil of Mr..
Thos. E. Lycett of this place, and ap-
peared in the violin, cello and piano trio.
The number was well received and ap-
plauded until second appearance was
necessary.
Each number on the program received
its share of applause, and it would be
difficult for us to say which was the best.
MIR. Thos. e. Lycett and his daughter,
Mrs. Park w. T. 10y, were accompan-
lists during the evening.
After the program was concluded an
invitation was given to all to remain and
partake of refreshments ice cream and
cake-which were served in the gallery
by the ladies of the Guild. Many re-
manned and nice little sum was added
to the receipts of the evening.
