Men who find themselves prisoners doing time at the county jail in Brooklyn are as rule inveterate smokers. The recently issued annual report of the county commissioners shows that the cost for tobacco at the institution during the last fiscal year was $311.31. The soap used cost $13591, but these figures are not given in the way of comparison, nor are they l unusual, for the tobacco bill reaches about the same figure almost every | year.

Week of October 18th, George M. Co.
hans great success, the remarkable
American satire
"Get Rich Quick Wallingford".
"Get Rich Quick Wallingford" George
Cohan's whrlwind comedy founded on
George Randolph Chester's famous stor
les will be the merry attraction at Ford's
during the week of October 28th.
1t is doubtful if any purely American
play of recent years has won such unan-
imous approval as this laughter proyok-
ing comedy, peopled with the cleverly
drawn characters that Cohan sees in real
life, and knows so well how to put in his
plays, emphasizing their pecuiarities
without sacrificing their human qualities.
1t is one of the few comedies that has
made an equal success in New York and
Chicago and it's phenomenal run in each
of these cities was only the forerunner
of equally emphatic endorsement wher-
ever the piece has been seen.
Messrs Cohan and Harris are proving
the wisdom of presenting starless plays,
made up of parts that can be made the
most of instead of subordinating them to
one central figure.
The scenic surroundings and stage
equipment will be exactly as presented
during the long runs in New York and
Chicago.

A band of gypsies who passed through
this place Tuesday evening of last week
will be remembered from one end of the
county to the other as being very adept
in picking pockets.
At Mt. Airy number Of persons had
money taken, and one of the women of
the tribe was arrested and is now under
500 bail for her appearance at the Fred
erick county court, the chief putting up
the money in five twenty dollar gold coins,
While here Tuesday evening they pur-
chased considerable quantity Of provis-
ions, but so far as we know, no attempt
was made to pick pockets or steal from
the stores. 1t is said this is the same
crowd that passed this way last spring
touched several parties for small sums
The money was recovered before they
got out of town.
At Emmitsburg last Wednesday morn
ing, one of the gypsy girls succeeded in
picking one persons pocket of $40, and
another of $l00. Several members of
the party were arrested, and besides re-
funding the 81 90 paid fine of So 90 for
fortune telling. The girl who got the
$40 left hurriedly. The officers threaten.
ed to follow and arrest her, but one of
the men paid over the $40. and on prom
of leaving town promptly, no further &C
ton was taken.

On Saturday afternoon Justice of the
Peace Jos. C. Gernand tried the case of
Myers VS.. Conard & Bro.
AS brought out in the testimony Myers
about two years ago purchased a manure
spreader from Messrs. j. d. Conard &
Bro, of Frederick, through Mr.. Frank
Staub, agent. Myers claims that the
above parties promised him, as an in
ducement to buy, five dollars off the
price of his machine and the same amount
on each machine purchased through his
influence. He says three other machines
of the same make were sold in his vicin-
ity and thinks he is entitled to 500.
The parties selling the manure spread
er testified they knew of no such promise
being made. After hearing both sides
OF the question, the case was decided in
favor of Conard Bros. Mr.. Jacob Rohr-
back represented Myers, and Mr., Dorsey
Etchison Conard Bros.

BURNED TO DEATH.

Mrs. Annie Elizabeth Crabbs, wife OF
Charles E. Crabbs, of Yellow Springs,
died Wednesday night, Oct. 10th, about
eight O'Clock as the result of burns re-
ceived while helping to boil apple butter
at the home of Mr.. William V. Wolf.
The accident that caused Mrs. Crabbs'
death occurred about O'Clock in the
afternoon. The work of boiling the apple
butter was being done out of doors, and
the fire had been left die down slightly
for that purpose. Mrs. VIM. V. Wolf
was stirring the butter while Mrs. Crabbs
prepared to put in the sugar.
When Mrs. Crabbs leaned oyer the
kettle to put in some sugar her dress ac-
cidently touched the glowing Goals and
Immediately took fire. Becoming excited
Mrs. Crabbs ran to Mrs. Wolf and en-
braced her. Mrs. Wolfe's dress was also
ignited, but she kept presence of mind
enough to be able to extinguish the
flames. Mrs. Crabbs then ran to a
potato patch that was near by, before
any one was able to render any assist
ance.
At the time of the accident Mr.. VIM.
V. Wolf and his son, Roger B. Wolf,
were in Frederick and there was no one
one at the house but the women of the
family. They got blankets as quickly
as they could and wrapped Mrs. Crabbs
in them, but before the flames could be
extinguished all of her clothing had been
burned from her body.

Coast to Coast Express.
Four [ arl0ads of Oysters 60 to
The Far West.

Monday evening of this week specia
express train was sent out of Baltimore
by the American Express Company over
the Western Maryland Railroad with four
cars loaded with oysters and other mer-
chandise, the train passing through Thur
mont at 0.40 p. m. This through eX-
press train probably will become later a
combination express and passenger train
to California, in which event it will be
perhaps the fastest route from Maryland
to the Golden Gate.
For the present it will carry passenger
coaches as far as Hagerstown. Until the
Western Maryland revises it's schedule it
will be operated as special, but within
short while will become regular train,
one leaving and one reaching Baltimore
every day.
Leaving Hillen Station at 8 o'clock, the
special will follow the lines of the West
ern Maryland to Connellsvile, Pa. After
the Maryland border is passed it will
make not more than half dozen stops
before reaching Los Angeles.
From Connellsville it will travel over
the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie to Cleve-
land, where express for that city from
Baltimore and Washington will be I'M
loaded and more merchandise loaded. At
Cleveland the cars will be absorbed by
the special from New York, and the run
to Chicago will be made over the Lake
Shore line. From Chicago the special
will follow the Chicago and Northwest
ern to Omaha and the Union Pacific on
to Salt Lake City.
A division of the train will be made at
Salt Lake City and some of the cars will
be sent northward to Portland and Seat
tie. But the cars bearing the oysters
consigned to the waiting Californians will
go straight westward over the San Pedro
and Los Angeles to their final destination.
1--WE figure" said Mr.. p. l.. Wright,
superintendent of the express company,
that we will carry oysters or any other
class of express that is shipped aboard
the special to the Pacific Coast just about
IL hours faster than a passenger can
travel there under existing conditions. y
For the next few weeks the train will
be made up at Hllen Station, but by
December l, if present plans are carried
out, the goods shipped on the new train
would not pass through the city.
The Western Maryland has promised
US a barge, which it is now having built,
declared Mr.. Wright. 1.-THE express cars
will be run aboard this and backed up to
the wharves along the water front, where
the oysters and other merchandise will
be taken on. Then they will be taken to
Port Covington, the Western Maryland
terminal, and from there run to Wal
brook junction to be coupled to the pass
enger coaches leaving Hillen Station.
"In my opinion this train will consti-
tute good means of booming the trade
between Baltimore and the West, par
ticularly in oysters, which, we all know
are produced in the Chesapeake with a
quality and flavor that no other part of
the country knows

Stone Pavements Disappearing

The citizens of Middletown have been
busy putting down concrete sidewalks.
The Valley Register in last weeks issue
states that the whole town will soon be
concrete. One entire side of Main street
is concrete walk and the other side has
but two brick and two stone pavements
in the three quarters of mile stretch.
This is going ahead of Thurmont to
some extent. While we have one side
of Main street entirely of concrete and
brick, the other side is concrete, stone,
brick and the bare ground. Improve
ments continue, however, on Water
street. Considerable concrete has been
put down on this street, the State Road,
and concrete side drains have also been
put down, Mayor Freeze being now en-
gagged in this work. We would advise
everyone owning property along the
State Road-Water and Church streets
to put down concrete walks and side
drains, for we fully believe that in few
years the State will rebuild the road.

Avoid Sedatiye Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines that
contain iodine, morphine, heroin and
other sedatives when you have cough
or cold. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or breed
ing places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is why
pneumonia never results from cold
when Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
used. 1t has world wide reputation for
its cures. 1t contains no morphine or
other sedative. For sale by all dealers.
