WILL ABANDON OLD FORT.

Fort Washington, Nd, one Of the
oldest Notifications in the United
States, is soon to be abandoned. Ma
ny of its larger guns are to be sent
away.
Because of its historic interest it is
doubtful if the old fort will be wholly
dismantled. For many years Fort
Washington has been one of the main
dcfenses of Washington, ID. c.
Before the advent of the white men
into this country the Indians took
advantage of the stragetic site to fight
off invading tribes of roaming lndi-
ans. Several years ago sister Fort
was dismantled and its garrison re-
duccd. Twenty years ago these two
forts were rebuilt and modernizcd.
With the mounting of new and heavy
guns on the forts the Potomac river
was made almost impossible.
Three companies of coast artillery
are now required for maintenance of
Fort Washington.

MAKE BLUNDERS IN OFFICE
Enollshmen In High Positions Have on
Occasions Furnished Much Food
for MerrIment.

The prize blunder in Official orders
up to date emanated from the home
once when 1t gave an order some
years ago for the rebuilding Of Glou-
cester JAIL remarks London Tft-Bits.
The clever official who wrote that or
der In Whitehall has. no doubt, been
ragged" about 1t over and over again.
The official notice stated that. whilst
the new prison was being erected on
the site OF the former one. the prison
ers we're to be kept as before. IN the
old premises, and to continue their
work and life in the ordinary way"
That laughable parliamentary paper
has always been reckoned the gem OF
its kind But no one from the home
Office ever explained how the prison
officers were to keep the old jail stand
ing, and their convicts In It. while tho
new jail was being built on the same
site.
The admiralty's principal lapse OF
this kind occurred many years ago.
when, In consequence Of very severe
frost, some Of his majesty's ships, des'
tined for the Mediterranean, could not
leave Hull as the harbor and part Of
the Humber were frozen some inches
thick. and they were fast In the Ice.
The commanding admiral acquainted
the admiralty with this fact; whereup-
on that sage office issued special no.
tice as follows: The lords OF the ad-
miralty agree to sanction your vessels
remaining In port at Hull till the frost
enables them to proceed to their des-
tination."
It was the government of Canada
which issued an order In council not

Canada, have in his possession at least

this up with a second clause, stating
that between the first Of November
and the last day of February inclu-
sive the sum shall be $50"
But what about October 311 1t will
be seen that the Canadian officials had
entirely forgotten about that day, and

sion that the order was withdrawn.

Two Nelohborp,

Two nelghbors kept hens and quar-
relied because they scratched each 9th.

hens unknown to the other, who made
a large run and fastened his hens up,
saying:

as usual, so he got the gun and shot
It, then threw 1t over his neighbor's

hen was picked up. taken In. and
cooked.
The following days the same thing
happened. Still the neighbor took

THURMONT FREDERICK COUNTY, MD. THURSDAY, JULY TO-
Many Strangers Here.

Last week during the great celebration
at Gettysburg hundreds of strangers
travelling in automobiles passed through
Thurmont over the State Road. The
license tags on their machine told from
what State they were from. Many came
from Pennsylvania, others from New
Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Vir-
ginia, Louisiana, Nebraska, Montana and
California. The District of Columbia
also furnished it's quota. A number of
these tourists stopped long enough to Sc
cure a drink of soda or purchase cigars.
Mrs. George j. Damuth, residing on
Church street, kept record of the auto
mobiles three days last week. On Wed
nesday l65, Thursday 234 and Friday 365
machines passed her residence.
1t is to be regretted very much that the
road from Emmitsburg to Gettysburg
has not been improved by the States of
Maryland and Pennsylvania. This stretch
of road is hilly, dusty or muddy, and
rough, and is unpleasant to travel on in
automobiles.

What Of The Future?
The Past offered Some Night
mares, But Skies Clearing.

New York, July 7.-Henry Clews
& Co. says:
1--WE enter the second half of 1913
after nearly a year of almost contln-
uous shrinkage in Stock Exchange
values. The highest average point
reached for 20 leading railways in
1912 was l24 on August IA, and %
for the II leading industrials. On
June 80 of the current year the aver
age of 20 leading railways was 1O3
and of ~ leading industrials "A. This
is drop within II months OF 21
points in the average of railroad shares
and IS points in industrial shares,
an almost sensational decline, and
the bulk of it has taken place since
the election. That it has been ac-
complished with no serious disaster
is excellent evidence of the inherent
soundness of affairs in general. The
question is, will the second half OF
l9l3show a continuation of this tend
ency, or is not ut least moderate
recovery about due?
Ever since the election the market
has been treated to a succession OF
nightmares. The Balkan war was
one; fear of world wide stringency in
money another; tariff revision an
other; an unsatisfactory railroad sit
uation another, and the series Of inn
portant dissolutions in compliance
with the Sherman Antitrust law
still another. And yet the much
dreaded Minnesota rate decision was
finally handed down and proved to
be reassuring rather than disturbing.
The American Tobacco dissolution is
out of the way. So, too, is the break
ing up of the Hartman merger. So
luton of the latter affords signal re-
lief to the market, inasmuch as it re-
moves vast mass of securities, the
final placing of which was IA moment
Gus problem. The importance OF this
as a stock market factor has not yet
been fully realized. Finally the mon
ctary situation is righting itself. The
July settlements abroad were passed
without any of the much-fearcd dis
turbanccS. July payments in this
country, often source of temporary
stringcncy, were passed without a
ripple, and this in spite of unsatis-
factory monetary conditions. In spite
Of July dividend and interest pay
mcnts, aggregating S266, 100000,
call loans ranged from to y per
cent.
Comparatively few concerns will
be injured by ttc new tariff rates and
it is frequently overlooked that in
many respects the lower schedules
will be a positive impetus to trade
activity"

"Grace Before Meat"

On the strength Of the fact that
they eat bread in the school play
ground without first saying grace the
children Of Dunfermlins have been
charged with irreverence by Rev.
Jacob Primmer.
Doubtless Mr.. Pr1mmer would glad
ly revert to the custom that prevailed
during the time Of Cromwell, when,
according to Bishop Burnet, people
said grace both before and after
meat, sometimes for the length of q
whole hour"
An Ayrshire minister who died a
few years ago once dined with a lady
of the old school who requested him
to say grace. This he did In petition
of two sentences. But to his surprise
and humiliation his hostess darted on
him a glance OF contemptuous amaze
ment, and then, turning to her hus-
band, said in tones that brooked no
denial: Go on, yerser gudeman."-
