Four weeks ago last Sunday, Mr.

5000 Scholars in a Parade.

From reports received from the teach
ers o! the county, relative to the number
OF pupils to be expected in Frederick
Tor the demonstration of school children
on May 18th, it would appear that about
90 per cent. of the pupils of the public
schools OF the county can be expected to
attend. Intermediate Supervisor G..
Lloyd Palmer, who has charge of this
part OF the work, stated recently that if
this percentage is maintained, and he is
baslng his estimate upon quite large
number of replies already in hand, it
will mean that about 5000 school chill
dren will be in Frederick for this demon
stration. The number of patrons. who
may come varies from five per cent. on
up OF the number Of children coming.
Already School Superintendent Iohn
T. White believes that Frederick'S Ar
mory will be unable to accommodate the
number OF pupils for the meeting in the
afternoon, and he is considering having
several places for overflow meetings.
He stated that he would use the auditor
lum at the Girls High School, and
would endeavor to secure Hood College
Hall. and if possible, church basement.
IN order to care for the pupils and would
endeavor to have some one address the
children at each place.
Mr.. White plans to go to Hagerstown
today where there will be a parade and
demonstration by the school children,
similar to the one planned here. Re-
ports from Hagerstowu say that it is eX-
pected that about 5000 school children
will march in the parade. There was
similar demonstration at Hagerstown last
year.
When asked the purpose of these DEM
onstratlons, Mr. White stated that he
was unable to say. He stated that they
had been ordered by the State Board of
Education, and that in arranging for the
Frederick gathering he was only carry
ing out the requirements of the superior
board
Mr.. A. S.. Goldsborough, of Balti-
more, formerly secretary to Mayor
Preston, of that city, will be the speaker
at the meeting in the armory in behalf of
the Star Spangled Banner Centennial
Committee. Mr. Goldsborough was Sc
cured through the efforts of the Fred
erlck Board of Trade. He is regarded
as one OF the hest orators in the State.

has written to the school officials stating
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

House Advances War Claim Bill.

The bill introduced in Congress by
Representative David J. Lewis to pay the
city Of Frederick 100000 exacted OF it
by the Confederate army under General
Jubal Early in 1864, under penalty Of
burning the city, was favorably reported
in the House of Representatives, with
amendments The amendment provides

Reunion Suggested for Monocacy
Battle Veterans.

John K. Kaher, of Baltimore, and
veteran Of the Battle of Monocacy, has
suggested that some effort be made to
have reunion of the survivors Of the bat.
tie of Monocacy on the fiftleth anniver.
sary, which is July 9. Mr.. Kahler sug-
geSts that the reunion be similar to the

tle6eld in memory of the Confederate

Dynamite Kills wolfsville Man.

Charles Warrenfeltz, 20 years old, OF
Wolfsville, died Friday night at the Fred
erlck City Hospital. as the result of the
explosion of five sticks of dynamite in a
basket which he carried in his hand.
The explosion tore two gaping holes in
his neck just above the collar bone, made
several deep cuts in his head, and man
gled his left hand. Physicians had little
hope of his recovery from the start for
Warrenfeltzs lungs had been injured
through the wounds in his neck, and this
is said to have been the cause of his
death.
Young Warrenfeltz was engaged in
blasting holes on the farm Of Henry Stot-
tlemyer, at Wolfsvile. He was employ
ed by Mr.. Stottlemyer to prepare the
ground for the planting of fruit trees
With him were Charles Lewis and Prof.
c. Z. Stottlemyer both of WolfsviIle,
who were engaged in measuring of the
distances between the holes. Warren
feltz'S work was to place the dynamite
and ignite the fuse that exploded 1t.
Prof. Stottlemyer and Lewis were about
90 yards away from Warrenfeltz when the
explosion occurred. Their backs were
turned to him and they are unable to ex-
plain how the accident happened. 1t is
thought, however, that Warrenfeltz, after
lgniting the fuse, dropped the match in
the basket containing the dynamite which
he carried in his hand

Clearings Gain in Face of De-
preston.

Despite the business depression which
has been manifested in most sections of
the country and which has been felt in
Frederick, but only to limited extent,
the clearings of the city banks for the
year which ended Saturday morning
reached the high water mark The gain
over last years clearings is not as large
as has been noted in some years, yet it
shows that trade and business in this
community have been active and have not
fallen of, as might have been expected.
The figures for the 2ISt year of the
Frederick Clearing House Association
we're furnished by the manager, Mr.. E.
c. Markell, after exchanges had been
made by the representatives of the seven
city banks. The total bank cearings
from May 3, 1913, to May 3, 1914, amount
TO $I5, 1877, 647.74, which is gain of $I74,
3o5.38 over the year previous, when the
aggregate clearlngs totaled SIS, 5,623,-
SO.
Bank clearings are generally recognized
as a reliable index of business and trade.
If things are booming and there is activ-
ity in trade, the clearings increase, and
thus business conditions are reflected.
The gain in clearings this year is, there
fore, very gratifying in view of the de-
preston elsewhere.
The balances show a corresponding in
crease, although the balances cannot as
safely be relied upon, as business ba-
rometer. as the clearings. The past
years balances total $4. o96, ASH. Last
year the balances amounted to $3,425,-
2S5 So.
The clearings this year are more than
three times what they were the first year
of the Clearing House, or from May 3,
1893, to May 3, 1894, when they were
$4 9o8, 92I.4I.
Last year the clearings exceeded those
of the year previous by $I,oI4. .879 From
1911 to 1912 the gain in clearings amount
ed to $9o3, 3S7. rs, while from 1910 to 1917
the gain was 5000, 900. From these fig
ures it can be seen that this years gain
of about STA, 600 is smaller than the in
creases for some time past, vet the clear
lngS have gone up a notch higher, and it
shows that Frederick is not on the back
ward move. The April clearlngs this
year were exceptionally large.
