Building Nearing Completion.

bulWlnS NtdTiHS Nohlpictioh'
The old High School building which
passed into the hands of Mr.. l.. R. Wac
sche, has undergone quite change the
past several months. The building form
erly was one-story structure. Mr.. Wac
sche removed the roof and with brick
raised it to the second story and on that
built a third story of timber.
The second and third floors are divided
into seven rooms each and bath and toilet
on each floor. The first floor will contain
a reception room, double parlor and dou-
BILE dining room, there being sliding doors
to divide each; large kitchen and toilet.
There is basement under the entire
building and this will be concrete.
The plastering was finished last week,
and the carpenters and painters are now
finishing the interior.
Mr.. Hahn, who we understand will
open the building as hotel and boarding
house, expects to move into the building
within the next week or ten days.
The rooms in this building are all of
good size, we'll lighted and those in the
rear command beautiful view of the
mountains and country to the south and
southwest.
Mr.. Hahn should experience no difficult
ty in filling the rooms with summer
guests.

Gives Outlet to Cement.

The Public Service Commission has
granted to the Central Railro ad of Mary
land permission to exercise the franchise
conferred in it's chorter and to issue
stock in the amount of $l25, 900.
The company proposes to build road
5. l46 miles long from Union Bridge, Car
roll county, through that county and
Frederick county to point at or near
Keymar, Carroll county, where it will
connect with the York, Hanover and
Frederick Railroad.
1t was testified before the com mission
that the reason for the construction of
the road is the inadequacy of the West
ern Maryland's service in handling the
output of the Tidewater Portland Cement
Company at Union Bridge. Blair T..
Scott, president of the Central, stated
that the Cement Company has been
forced to hold its production at SO per
cent of capacity because the Western
MARYLAND could handle no more.
1t is understood that only freight will
be handled by the new road at first.
Later, it is said, passenger service may
be operated.

MIR. Mccoy paid the officers $50, the
reward promised for the arrest and con-
viction of the thief. He said he did not
care about the conviction" part of the
stipulation; he was so much gratitied
with the return of the horse that he was
ready to pay the money at once.
Mr.. Mccoy drove his horse home. With
the animal he took the harness, belong
ing to John Luths, and the buggy. the
ownership of which is not known to him
or to the officers concerned in the case.
Chief of Police Staley permitted the
removal of the buggy on being given a
receipt for it in writing, in (which Mr..
Mccoy agreed to produce the vehicle
when the owner was found.
Mr.. Mccoy values the horse at $3.50 to
$275. He hunted all through Cumber-
land and adjoining counties and on the
day it was recovered by Constable Day
walt and associates, he was in Lancaster
in search of some clue to the animal. -

Interesting Lecture On Courtship And
Marriage.

Interesting Lecture On COurtship And
Marriage.
On Tuesday evening Rev. B. F. Clark
son. of Baltimore, gave very interest
ing lecture in the Methodist Episcopal
church, this place, BEFORE goodly num-
Der of people.
The subject of Courtship and Marriage
is big one. Rev. Clarkson, however,
handled the matter very nicely and had
his audience at his mercy-at times merry
with laug hter, again sad and ready to
shed tears. His belief is
That courtship should not stop at mar
riage, but should continue all through
married life. While counting, divorce
suits are not thought of,
That man should have one wife or a
woman one husband,
That if death separates the couple the
survivor should wait until after the
funeral before marrying again,
That kissing is permissible, but not
"gum sucking,
That young woman should not refuse
the hand of young man because he is
poor and works for living,
That if married people are poor they
should live within their income and not
be in debt,
That young ladies should not kiss poo
die dogs in preference to the young man
paying her attention.
Rev. Clarkson is veteran of the I'm
ion Army, fought at Gettysburg and July
Sth, SO years ago marched through Thur
mont with many others on their way
from Gettysburg to Virginia SOIL His
wife, Mrs. Clarkson, sat near Abraham
Lincoln when he made his address at
Gettysburg and was among the first to
shake his hand at the close of his re-
marks.
If ever Mr.. Clarkson comes to this
place again to lecture, every mar, woman
and child should hear him.

the habit of eating rapidly you are most

ion begins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalivated.
