NOTHING DONE IN
 PAVING MUDDLE CreOsoted Wood Block Go. Refuses McCartin Bid
 for Pavement

At the city commission meeting yes- terday consideration of the wood block paving proposition down town was passed until President culpepper Exum and Flu gene l.. Brown return to the city, the latter representing the Woodward Inter ests and also being a member of the citizens commltee.
 The request for postponement came from M. J. Gregg, attorney for the Me Cartin Contracting company, who said tEat all parties to the matter had agreed to allow it to be passed until the two gentlemen referred to came home. That was agreed to by MT. Weatherly, acting president, and Commissioner A. O. Lane.
 The only development yesterday in the situation as regards the wood block pay ing controversy was the declinaton of the Creosoted Wood Block company of New Orleans to take the work on the bid of the McCartin Construction com pany. which company subsequently, sur rendered the contract. The wood block company told the commissioners In a lengthy telegram that they could not take the work at the figure named by Mir. McCartin. but would take it on their original bid, which was the highest one offered for consideration by the commis- sioners.
 A final conclusion in the question, 1t is expected, will be reached Tuesday, when it is thought that Mr Exum and MT. Brown will be here.

4 Wife Worth Having
From Tit iBts.

fTOn Ut lotS.
 Herr Blumenthal, director of the Less ing theatre in Berlin, once had a great misgving regarding the success of his new piece, 'Zum Weissen Rosse."
 If I had only 20 marks for every thou sand 1t will bring you l should be quite content" said his wife.
 "All right, you shall have them," re- piled Herr Blumenthal. "Zum Weissen Rosse" ('White Horse Inn'D met with an immediate success. Every night the frau director went to the cashier and levied her 20 marks per thou sand. On one occasion, after the piece had been running some months, bad weather caused falling off in the receipts below 1 the thousand marks, and consequently Frau Blumenthal was not entitled to heI 20 marks
 How much have you taken in?" she asked the cashier. 'Only 997 marks was the reply
 Well, give me a seat at 3 marks then said Frau Blumenthal, laying down the cofn. Now you have a thousand marks, give me my e0'
 She got them.

AS RESULT OF STRUGGLE MEAT PRICES HAVE DROPPED FROM 40 TO 50 PER CENT IN BIR- MINGHAM

Birmingham is in the midst of one of the merriest retail meat wars ever seen in the city and in the meantime the consumer is getting the benefit. Prices are being slashed right and left and prac- tically all of the large retail butchers have entered the fight.
 The war started when new firm on upper Second avenue opened retail store and began to advertise unusual reduc- tions in the prices of steaks, chops, roasts, sausages and staple cuts in gen eral. This has been followed by other retailers going them one better until the

 JOY TO LOCAL CONSUMERS

prices of meats in Birmingham now are anywhere from 40 to 50 per cent less than usual.
 Meat has heretofore been such a prom ineht item in the high cost of living that consumers have not been slow to take advantage of the situation. As result some of the big shops were fairly be- sieged by the crowds yesterday after noon. Each retailer claims that he wants his share of the business and says he will cut prices as low as the other fel- low.
 Those seen yesterday declined to be quoted for publication. but they did not hesitate to say they were in business to stay and that they could stand the cut as long as the others.
 In the meantime the consumer is rev. cling in luxury because, as one man put it last night, Anybody can eat meat now"

Burglar Proof Glass

T TO1H IfdTpeI 5 W ttkIy.
 There is a glass of French invention which is intended to be proof against the ordinary attacks of burglars. So many cases of burglary have been committed by the breaking of show windows and snatching of valuables on exhibition that a special effort has been made to end this particular form of theft
 The French glass is produced by a se- cret process, but the makers admit thai thickness and care in it's manufacture are its principal essentials. It is made about three-quarters of an inch thick and or test has resisted the blow of a 10-pouno iron disk. The same blow would have shattered ordinary plate glass completely

connection with the Farmers Institute.
will be held in the gallery of the Town
Hall at Thurmont on the date of the In

charged for each pen of birds, ducks,
geese or pigeons mot for each bird) and
all poultry will be judged by an expert
and First and Second Premium Cards
awarded to the winners in each class
entered. No display cards of any de-
scription will be allowed on coops until
after the awards have been made.

Sound Judgment.

In an interview published in The Post
recently, State Senator John P. T..
Matthias, of Frederick county, frankly
and firmly declared his opposition to the
selection of State Senator Sproesser, of
Baltimore city, as minority leader in the
Senate. In the caucus of Republican
Senators before the converting of the
General Assembly, Senator Matthias led
the fight against the choice of Sproesser
for this honor, and succeeded in having
the man of his choice named as leader.
And on the very first vote of any con
sequence taken in the Senate, Sproesser
proved that the judgment of Senator
Matthias was sound.

SLEIGHING CARNIVAL.

With no assurance as to how long snow
will remain snow, or how long good
sleighing would continue, several young
men Of this place decided conditions were
favorable for sleighing carnival and on
Thursday last had printed and sent bills
out announcing carnival would be held
in Thurmont Saturday evening, Jan. ID.
Money was subscribed by the citizens OF
the town and handsome prizes were Sc
cured for the occasion.
As the time approached for the event,
the weather became colder, and Satur-
day evening while the parade was on the
street the thermometer registered be-
low zero. Not mindful of the cold, a
large crowd of people gathered to wit
ness the parade.
While the number of teams in line were
not many, the various makeups were well
selected. Those starting in the parade
and competing for prize We're Dr. Z. b.
Seton, DR.. E. H. Teeter, Frank Weller,
Ernest Stoner, VIM. Zentz and Victor
Pryor, Russell Long, Raymond Creager,
Luther Munshour, Harry Eyler, Lester
Damuth, C. E. Valentine. Mr.. Alonzo
Fox fell in line about the time the parade
was over.
Prizes as advertised were given for
First, large Lap Robe for single or double
team presenting best appearance. Second
large Wooden Horse Blanket for best
single team. Third, same quality blank
ct as No. 2 for best comic team. Fourth,
solid Rawhide Whip for second best
comic team.
Each and every team other than
those winning prizes, participating in the
Carnival will receive whip. Every per-
son expecting to secure any of the pri ICES
must have his team decorated
The first prize was given to Mr.. Fox,
of Foxville, who, according to the above
advertised rule, was not entitled to it, as
he had no decorations of any kind on
either horses or sleigh. This, however,
was not the fault of the judges, as they
did not see poster and were not told
that it was necessary for teams to be
decorated. Mr.. Raymond Creager won
second prize; DR.. Seton third, and Messrs
Zentz and Pryor fourth.
The judges were Messrs. Ruch, Styles
and Thompson, all of this place.

BRYAN's LATEST PERrIDY

William Jennings Bryan, Democratic
athlete and the thrice re%pudiated can
didate of that party for the presidency,
was sent to the Baltimore convention
as a delegate from the state of Ne
braska pledged to the support of
Champ Clark. Shortly after the bal
loting commenced he disregarded the
instructions of his constituents and
flopped to the support of the winning
candidate. In justification of his
course he gave the lame excuse that
Clark had opposed his election to the
temporary Craftsmanship. After Will
son had been nominated, Speaker
Clark gave out a statement for publ
cation, which concludes with the fol
lowing paragraph:
81 will support Governor Wilson
with whatever power ! possess and
hope he viii be elected. I lost the
nomination solely through the vile
and malicious ISLANDERS of William
Jennings Bryan of Nebraska. True,
they were ISLANDERS by innuendo
and insinuation, but they were no less
deadly for that reason
Bryan is noted for his igratitude.
He never stood by a friend in his
whole political life, no matter what
that friend may have lone for him.
A notable example of his treachery
was his treatment Of Hitchcock, pub
Usher of the Omaha World Herald, at
the beginning of his career. The
newspaper man had giv.n bryan en-
ployment when he was poor and was
his ~staunchest supporter for the presi-
dency in 1896. A few years later
Hitchcock was a candidate for the
United States senate and might have
been elected with the help of Bryan.
But political conditions had changed,
and the support of the peerless one''
was thrown against his former bene-
factor, with the result that he was
defeated.
