CitV Hall Notes.

Mayor Fraley has returned from a ten
days vacation, which he enjoyed very
mnch.
After inspecting both receivers and
looking over the whole pipe lire, Alder
men Cutler. Grove and Shoemaker, of
the Water Committee, decided that there
is not much danger at the present time of
a water famine, although there is no
overflow at the Tuscarora Receiver, and
there is a considerably reduced supply
at the Fishing Creek Receiver, since the
time of the last inspection.
In anticipation of long, drv season
the committee decided to put the dam al
Ok Greek into commission and thus in
crease the city water supply. There is
quite large quantity of water running
TO waste at Ok Greek, near the Fishing
Creek Receiver, and this will aid mater
tally in case that the city becomes actu-
ally in need OF water.
Superintendent Burck saws that there
are many leaks in Frederick and he is
finding more every day. He says that
there are several fre-plugs leaking and
he is powerleSs to stop it, because the
city has not sufficient plugs. New plugs
have been ordered. l. is reported that
quite number of hydrants were leaking
and the people have made no move to
repair the leaks
All flushing of the streets must be dis
continued because the supply of water at
home is affected materially.

on April 18th, 1909, and were delivered
a policy of the company. In April or
May last the child died, not being quite
six years old. From the time that the
policy was taken.out up until the time of
its death, for period of over four years,
the parents paid each week to the COM
pany's collector, the five-cent premium
without the lapse of single week Ac-
cording to the policy. the beneficiary,

which under its terms, il death occurred
under six years would entite the bene-
ficiary to 500. After the child's death,
the Baltimore Life Insurance Company
visited the Bageant home, made out the
necessary death proofs, and several days
thereafter paid the money to which Mrs.
Bageant was entitled.
The Metrop olitan Life Insurance Com
panv through its representative also
made out its death proofs, and the same
were forwarded to the company in New
York. The reply came back, that be-
cause the child was insured in another
company, they would decline to pay the
claim. So suit was brought by Mrs.
Bageant before Justice George r. Den
mis- to recover the sum of SIS.
Before the trial the company made a
tender of the amount paid in by Mr.. and
Mrs. Bageant for the four years and over
that they had paid ill., amounting to
$I2 so, but they declined to accept this
amount

ROOFS AND NEMspApEKs.

Books are wonderful, not only in their
multiplicity, but in their persuasive
power. The books and papers Of today
| mould the minds OF men. They are not
only an intellectual but also a moral
force. If all books and papers were cor
rect in principle and in judgment, there
/ would be a rapid decline in crime Crime
is due to ignorance and ignorance is due
to false preaching or no teaching. Much
of the viclousness, anarchy and restless
ness of modern times is due to the per-
nicious influence of newspapers and
books written by men whe are either pur-
posely deluding the people or lacking i'll
understanding. If we would purify our
people We must put our newspapers into
the hands of men who will not sacrifice
truth and morality to political and finan-
cial ends. We must have a literary CEN
sorShip, that books may be examined
and those of evil influence condemned
before they reach the people We all
have much to learn and it is economy of
time to read only the old and well tried
books. Books and papers teach us to
know life--the present and the past.
They stimulate and train the mind. They
inspire us by example and precept.
They teach us morality. They help us
to distinguish between the good and the
false. They quicken the Imagination.
They give us worthy and beautiful things
to think about and also TO talk about.
They are the best and the most Access
sble means of education.
We have no desire to throw any bou-
quets at ourselves. but believe that there
is not family that reads tins department
in our paper from week to week that is
not benefited and stimulated to much
better things. 1t encourages all that is
good and dscourages all that is evil. If
you agree with us speak good word
and help us to place our paper in every
home in the community.
