CHARITABLE MOVEMENTS.

Commendable work is being done this
winter by the various charity organiza-
tions of Frederick Much contributes
to make the condition of the unfortunate
poor this winter and this year more dire
and distressing than ever, and the calls
for help have been insistent. Not only
in this city and county, but elsewhere
throughout the country superhuman eff
forts have been made to alleviate wide
spread suffering amongst the people.
There is no explanation for this con-
dition that can really get at the bottom
of the matter. The old saying that
''the poor we have always with us was
never better exemplifed, and if one
would take the time necessary to find
out the why's and wherefores, many of
the deserving would perhaps be beyond
assistance. True charity never stops to
ask why aid is needed before rendering
help, but puts forth the kindly hand of
charity rather than the cruel inquisition
Besides the regular church charities,
Sunday school charities, municipal char
tiles, and associated charities, there
have been this winter Self Denial Days,
and the charity for the Belgian suffer
ers all of which have their special devo-
tees. In some instances it seems that
conditions have been slightly overdrawn,
and opportunities practiced upon the
people more than the occasion demand
ed. However this may be, there GER
tainly should be enough in the hands of
those who have gone forth to seek it to
feed and clothe all the deserving poor.
In the county surrounding us here, each
township has its list of unfortunates, and
does splendid work throughout the cold
winter months. There are always many
societies that look after the pleasures of
the children at the Christmas time.
which will soon be with US. The Empty
Stocking Club of this city. and every
Sunday school, sees that the little ones
have their toys and candies and look at
Santa Claus, which their more fortu.
nate brothers and sisters have at their
homes. So after all there need not be
so much distress amongst us.
From general standpoint, despite
partisan statements to the contrary, it
looks as if business conditions would i'm.
prove all along the line, and those who
are perforce out of work at this untimely
season of the year may hope to soon be
able to secure employment. There are
some people who seek charity who should
be compelled to render service, and one
of the latest we have noted is to make
apparently hardy men who apply for as
slstance earn it by the sweat of their
brow at some work provided by the mu-
cipal authorities In some cities thev
have public wood yard where persons
who seek aims are given SO much to do
as payment thereof. This would give

Old Rates To Stand.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will maintain its old passenger
rates from Frederick to Baltimore
This change means a saving of $1.O2
The new rates which went into effect
several days ago eliminated 8, 10 and
S0-day fares. The Communication rates
are also abolished.
No information has been received at
the offices of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad in Frederick that the old
passenger rates will be maintained. II
is probable that this company will
also revert to the old and cheaper
rates.

Martin Allgire Musgrove Jordan

The six ballots from five to thirteen
were the same as the fifth ballot.
Ihe committee went into session at
about 1870 o'clock in the offices of DR..
Charles H. Conley. Each member of
the committee gave suggestions con-
cernlng the manner of selecting the
man to be endorsed. Ballotiag was
hnaIly decided upon. Some members of
the committee declared that because
brunswick was railroad town, a
man connected with the company
should be selected.
Musgrove was strongly backed by
the Brunswick central committee. 1t is
reported he had seven out of ten mem
Ders OF that committee endorsing him
Tor the appointment. Allgire was al
SO well backed.
With the exception of the first three
votes and the last the committeeman
STUCK to the man of their choice. Jor-
dan received but one vote upon two
occasions; Musgrove received one
vote on the first three ballots, and two
committeeman supported Allgire
through the entire thirteen ballots.
The members of the State central
committee are: DR.. Chas. H. Conley.
William j. Grove, Christian H. Eek
stein, J. M. Newman and A. M. Wood.
Since the death of A. R. Spitzer.
former postmaster of Brunswick. sew
eral months ago, F. l.. Spitzer has
been the acting postmaster. The of
fee pays salary of $1,7OO, with S426
for salary of clerk. 1t is declared that
1t is necessary to secure two clerks
and that the appropriation is not large
enough.
Musgrove is now clerk to The Citv
Council of Brunswick. 1t is likely
that the State central committee will
lake up the matter of endorsing a
man for the postmastership of En-
mltsburg, Frederick and Woodsboro.
The selection for Emmitsburg will be
first and then in order named.

pearcd before the directors OF the street

the Concord station crossing. Mr.. San
born said hc was present at the direc-
tion of the railroad company TO ask
that the resolution be modified regard
ing the 60-foot span OF the overhead
bridge which il is proposed TO build at
Concord station. Mr.. Wilson. an engi
neer OF the railroad company had agreed
to the G0-foot span believing that the
bridge pillars were to be built outside
the sidewalks.
President Sparks said the directors
had taken positive action regarding the
G0-foot bridge span without supports
that would in any way obstruct traffic.
Mr.. Sparks said he had received many
congratulations because he had opposed
the pillars which he said would protect
any lawless element that might desire
TO walk under the bridge.
Mr. Sparks said il also would be dan
gcrous to have such pillars because OF
the automobile traffic at this point. Mr..
Sparks believed the directors We're unan-
imous regarding the width of the span.
Mr.. Murphy then inquired regarding
the manner OF lighting the bridge and
the street nearby. Mr.. Sanborn answered
that iirst-class lighting system would
be installed.
Il was said that the agreement be-
tween the Levy Court. the city and
the b. and O. Railroad Company re-
garding the bridge has been ap-
| prOyed and as soon as the damages
! arc paid by the Levy Court for the
