A Good Idea, But ImDOSSiblp.

The topic under consideration and dis
cussion in Thurmont at the present time
is Electric Lights. Much has been said
in regard the subject, and while every
body wants electric lights and wants
none other than the town to own and
control the lighting plant, the question
of liberality Of the citizens in supporting
the scheme by subscribing to the capital
stock or buying bonds after same are is
sued by the town, has also came in for
its share of discussion.
There are public spirited men here who
have refused to buy or subscribe for
bonds, but this fact alone does not mean
that they are not in favor of public i'm
provements.
One of these gentlemen came to our
office this week and authorized us to
make the statement that he is willing
and ready to give his share, $40, (pre-
suming the plant cost $l4, OOO absolutely
free and as gift to the town, if SO other
men will do the same thing. This comes
somewhat as challenge to many along
the line of public spiritedness backed up
by liberaity.
1t certainly would be magnificent gift
to the town. We would then have a
lighting plant, the town would be brill
iantly lighted and debt of $l4, 900 or
whatever the cost of the plant will be,
would not be seen in every light.
We know that this gentleman is not
alone in this proposition, but just how
many of the required SO others can be
induced to join with him is the problem
not as yet answered. The only way to
know whether such thing is possible is
to get very busy, very quickly.

Birthday Celebration at "Auburn. %"

An elaborate surprise party in honor of
the birthday of Miss Mary McGill was
given at "Auburn," the grand old Colo
NAL Mansion of her grandfather, DR..
VIM. S. Mcpherson near Catoctin Fur
mace, on Tuesday evening.
Extensive preparations had been made
by Miss McGill's friends in Thurmont, a
special train being charted for the occa-
sion to carry the guests from Thurmont,
and upon their arrival at the railroad
crossing near the old mansion, the party
formed in procession and escorted by
many brightly burning torches, marched
up the winding driveway presenting a
most picturesque sight.
The party was received by Mrs. McGill
and DR.. Mcpherson with the usual hospi-
tally for which "Aublrn" has long been
noted, and there was nothing lacking to
make the evening wholly enjoyable for
all VINO participated.
The event was complete surprise to
Miss McGlll who was showered with con-
grauulations and best wishes, and all
present, both young and old, made the
old Mansion echo with gayety. The large
hallway soon became the scene of dances,
new and old, including the old Virginia
Reel which is never missed at any event
at auburn. Ices, cakes, candy and
| fruits were served about 1870 and at
IL. l5 the waltz "Home, Sweet Home
sounded the signal for adieus and depart
! ure to the special train waiting nearby.

Bad Negro ESCAPES.

William Simpson, a negro, aged abou
as years, escaped from the insane depart
ment of the negro quarters at Montevue
last Friday night about $50 o'clock.
Simpson is regarded as dangerous
man. The room from which the negro
made his escape is on the second floor of
the old portion of the negro quarters.
He got out by tearing away the casing
of the window and working loose bricks
beneath the sill, freeing the lower part
the iron grating, which he then bent in
ward, making an opening large enough
to squeeze through.
In the room from which he escaped
was found bundle including bandana
handkerchief, suit of blue overalls and
a pair of russell shoes, belonging to Simp,
son which he had evidently prepared to
take with him, but left behind, probably
because he heard the warden coming anC
was compelled to leave in haste.

gard to lighting Thurmont with electric
light. Great interest is being taken in
these meetings and many of the citizens

At this meeting it was decided to GO
ahead with the work by forming a cor
poration consisting of twelve men, and a
committee was appointed to secure that
number who were willing to underwrite
the proposition, the committee to report
the next evening at another meeting
The committee found many who were
willing to become members of the cor
poration and on Thursday evening re-
ported the following: Colonel John K.
Rouzer, P. N. Hammaker, j. W. GREGG
er, l.. S. Birely, l.. R. Waesche, Thomas
E. Lycett, d. X. Rouzer, Charles Mack
ley, j. z. 7. Matthias. and James +.
Waesche. The report was accepted, and
the above persons instructed to organize
and go forward with the work.
On Friday, Messrs. p. N. Hammaker,
J. W. Creeger and l.. X. Waesche went
to Frederick before Messrs Urner &
Urner who were secured to write articles
of Incorporation An ordinance is also
being prepared by the Commissioners
whereby all rights and franchises will be
granted this corporation until an enabling
act can be secured from the Legislature

So soon as this is done, all rights, fran

The Pole as a Weather Station.

he I>Oie as Il w tdtntG IStutloH.
Professor Pickering, of Harvard, sug-
gests that the Weather Bureau of the
United States use the North Pole as
weather station. If the Pole is out in
the ocean, several strongly-built ships,
laden with meteorologists, can be used
to float across the Pole, one after an
other, with the result that valuable
weather observations can be collected.
If the Polar Sea is shallow, a ship can
be anchored right over the Pole and be
made permanent station. This is an
excellent idea. The station would be a
lonesome one, but it might serve good
purpose if it were used as a sort of Bot
any Bay, to be occupied in turn by the
heads of the Washington Weather Bu-
reau who make such forecasts as some
of us remember. Polar weather renders
the Pole an ideal place of punishment for
the man who sends millions of good citi-
zens out rainy days without umbrellas to
the ruin of clothing worth at least $500,
OOO, 900 a year. Picknickers, excursion
lists and other like sportive people would
have some comfort in their misfortune if
they could imagine the author of their
woe ncarcerated where thermometers
register minus 80, where the wind makes
billiards. seem like balmy breezes, where
the barometer is always grouchy and the
north pole of the compass points south

In copy of the Natchitoches, La.

five mills tax for ten years, or until
sixty thousand dollars is raised in Ward
One and forty thousand dollars in Ward
Ten, in aid of the Natchitoches East and
West Railway Company The policy of
voting special taxes in aid Of railroads in
one that is subject to some doubt, but
the enormous capital it takes to finance
undertakings of this kind, makes it alb
solutely necessary at times to give pub
lie aid to them. This is no exception to
the general rule"
Mr.. Prudhomme tells US that later
number of this paper reports that every
body in these wards voted in favor of the
tax, and the road will be built.

How About This

A man by the name of Brown sued
VIM p. Hotter for alleged SANDER, the
case being tried last week in the Circuit
Court for Frederick County. Brown is a
road supervisor, and like great MAORI
ty of road supervisors, his road was no
model except for roughness. Hotter APP
peared on the road where Brown was at
work in the summer of 1908. Hotter in
dulged in some remarks regarding his
road being bad and the conversation
drifted on until it brought out the re-
mark from Hotter that he could not see
where he BROWN spent the money.
That he BROWN drew all the money
levied, that a man saw him draw it. Hol-
ter was in testing humor but Brown
ESQ the testimony developedD got mad
result-suit for SANDER against Hotter.
After testimony was presented the jury
was not long in determining that there
was no SANDER committed,
Road supervisors have as one of their
assets the condemnation of all their work
by the travelling public, yea, the public
has right to indulge in remarks COM
plimentary and otherwise as to whether
the work is done properly or not, and
they ofttimes go so far as to say that
some of them don't spend any of the
money they get. The above case is in
teresting to the public as well as road
supervisors.
