Better Train Service.

The Western Maryland Railway Com
pany has completed arrangements by
which new direct train service has been
established between Baltimore and Cleve-
land, which became effective on Novem-
Der Both. Announcement to this effect
was made by General Passenger Agent,
Charles F. Stewart, who has had the
matter up for several weeks.
The additional service is made possible
by the extension of the railway COM
pany's present sleeper service between
Baltimore and Pittsburgh and brings
the Monumental City and the Ohio city
closer together by new direct route
via Western Maryland Lines. The officials
of the Western Maryland were enabled
to extend this service because of the
trunk line connections which it has es-
tablished, thus placing it in p osition to
enter into active competition for both
freight and passenger traffic moving to
and from the Atlantic Seaboard and the
West.

Aged Man Assaulted.

On Sunday night, Nov. 23d. David
WILKINSON, of near Fountaindale, Pa, a
trapper by trade, heard noise in his
barn where he is accustomed to store
hides and pelts. Upon opening the door
man, who had evidently entered the
building with the intention of making
haul', sprang at him and hit him a
severe blow on the head with heavy
club
Regaining his feet Wilkinson knocked
the man down. Just then another in
truder felled Wilkinson to the ground,
breaking his collar bone and arm and
seriously bruising him about the head.
1t is understood that there are sufficient
clues to lead to the apprehension of the
assailants.
DIR. Jamison, of Emmitsburg, is the
attending physician and reported very
favorably on Mr.. Wilkenson's condition.

Even Employees To Pay.
Pennsylvania Railroad Said to
Have Cut Out All Free Rides.

Complete elimination of passes and
half-fares on the Pennsylvania railroad
is reported likely to follow a ruling by
the legal department of that company
that, under a recent decision of the Pub
lie Service Commission of Pennsylvania,
it could not issue passes or half-fares in
that State, even to employees of the road
So sweeping is the order of the Penn
sylvania commission, it is stated, that II
President Samuel Rea, of the Pennsy-
vania system, wanted to take pleasure
trip through his home State in his private
car he would have to pay the regular
rate. In consequence of this order, the
Pennsylvania system has advised its en-
ployes in Pennsylvania that they will be
expected to live near the scene of their
employment.
While the decision of the Pennsylvania
commission is effective only in the State
of Pennsylvania, there is a report that
the Pennsylvania railroad will apply the
principles of the order all over its lines,
in order to have a general rule. At the
Baltimore passenger Offices of the Penn
sylvania system it was said Tuesday that
no order hearing on the matter had been
received. AS it is entirely question of
policy, so far as this State is concerned,
no action is likely to be taken by the
officials until they have received instruc-
tions from the general offices of the
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
1t is regarded as significant, however,
that local offices have not received the
blanks on which clergymen made out
their applications for the benefit of the
half-fare rule Usually these blanks are
in the hands of the local Offices by De-
cember LIST.

Thanksgiving Observed.
Weather Inclement, But Many
Attend Church.

Union Thanksgiving services were held
in Trinity Reformed church last Thurs
day, the sermon being preached by Rev.
Hamilton P. Fox of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. Rev. M. l.. Beard and
Rev. P. E. Heimer were also present and
took part in the opening services. More
interest was shown by our citizens in this
service than usual, the church being well
filled with people.
Mr.. and Mrs. David Slade, of Fall Riv-
err, Mass, who were stopping at Belve-
dere Inn, this place, last week, attended
the service, and attracted the attention
of the congregation by standing while
President Wilson'S Thanksgiving Procla-
nation was being read by Rev. Beard.
In many localities it is the custom for
an audience at any meeting of patriotic
nature or at meeting where patriotic
hymns are sung, to stand during the sing
ing of such hymn. 1t is also customary
at places to take your hat off while pass
ing United States flag. 1t is not the
custom in Thurmont.
While we all claim to be very patriotic,
the people of this and many other com
munities are slow to show their patriot
ism when national airs are sung or played
by bands or orchestras, or in saluting the
flag.
To let ourselves down easy in the mat
ter of showing our patriotism, we would
mention what happens at other places.
Last Friday the U. S. Marine Band gave
a concert in the Frederick City Opera
House. Their last humber was 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" The members
of the band stood while rendering this
number, and while playing. it is said that
most of the audience left the opera house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Slade have shown US.
Let Thurmont people follow their exam
pie. Be patriotic and show your patri-
otism.
