Death of A Faithful Cook.

In the death last Friday January 31st,
of Mrs. Jane E. Dowell, the family OF
Mrs. L. Victor Baughman, Poplar Ter.
race, near this city, lost faithful and
competent domestic. "Jane," as she was
Familiarity known to everyone who has
ever been at the Poplar Terrace IN the
last sixteen years, was a genius in the
kitchen and this part Of the Baughman
home she managed with the utmost skill
and discretion. She had knowledge of
cooking that commanded the admiration
OF all who ever sat down to the hospitable
board at Poplar Terrace and this faculty
OF hers was noted by many distinguished
guests of Mrs. Baughman and the late
General L. Victor Baughman, who de.
lighted in extending cordial welcome to
their friends at any and all times. There
never was too many to provide for and
Jane hade method of taking care of
things in such manner that the hostess
was never put to embarrassment because
OF the appearance of the unexpected
guest. The end came suddenly after an
illness of about a month. The remains
were taken to Baltimore and the funeral
took place from the home of son. She
was born in Hartford county and came
here from Baltimore.

Post OmcelReceipts Gain.

The receipts at the local postofiice for
the past month totaled S3,772.57, and
were announced few days ago by Post
master William c. Birelv THIS is a
gain Of S3S4.46 over the same month for
last year
BY the report at the end of the fiscal
year, July 1913, the receipts for one year
of the local postotfice totaled up to about
$50 600 which is about $4,000 less than
the amount which is necessary to put the
Frederick Office on the first class list
If the local pOStofiice can show a gain of
about $3.50 each month during the COM
ing year the receipts will Jump to the
$4,000 mark, which IS the dividing line
There is no doubt at the rate that the
receipts are increasing that it will not be
long before the local postoffice is put on
the frst-class list. 1t is estimated that in
about two years the local Office will have
made up the necessary increase in re-
ceipts.
During the latter part of December,
the Christmas holidays, the local post
office made a record for itself, not only
IN the enormous increase in business but
i'll the manner in which the 1900 or
more parcels. of the parcel post system,
were handled. 1t is understood that of
the thousands of packages that were
handled. only one went aStray, and that
package was recovered and delivered
without appreclable delay.

way Company Gets Fifty
Year Franchise.

A fifty year lighting franchise was
granted to the Hagerstown and Frederick
Railway Company on Wednesday even
ing, February 4th, by unanimous vote
at special meeting of the Board of AL
dermen. In return for this franchise the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway
Company relineuishes all rights to the
perpetual franchise of the company which
ostensibty expires in 1922.
The Board of Aldermen of Frederick
passed the following resolution on We'd
nesday evening:
That the City Attorney be instructed
to prepare an ordinanch granting to the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway
Company the right to manufacture and
sell the current within the corporate
limits of the city for a period Of so years
under certain restrictions and conditions
and provisions as set forth in the ordi-
| nance"
Representing the Hagerstown and
Frederick Railway Company, were
Messrs. Emory L. Coblentz, Thomas
H. Haller, James H. Gambrill, IT., and
David Lowenstein appeared before the
Board of Aldermen on Wednesday even
ing and asked that the FRANCHISE be
granted to the company.
Mr. Coblentz explained that the COM
pany desires the franchises of the COM
pany to be in such condition that thew
extend beyond the life of the securities,
which would be issued. He farther ex-
planned that this franchise was necessary
to complete the plans for the financing
of the company.
In granting the request of the repre-
rentatiVeS of the Railway ComDanv the
Board of Aldermen have secured point
TOR they have taken in the old franchise
which in the opinion of some
of the best legal authorities of the State
was a perpetual franchise Under this
franchise the city did not have the re-
strictions that will be gained under the
new franchise.
The members of the board came to
their decision only after much thought.
They have had this proposition in mind
for some time and at the meeting unan-
imously granted the franchise. The or
dinance granting the franchise will be
submitted to the vote of the board at a
future meeting.
Another feature of the franchise is that
both the lighting franchise of the COM
pany and the railway franchise will ex
pire at the same time. The new fran.
chise will become effective upon its pas
sage.
Mayor Fraley called the attention of
Mr.. Coblentz recently to the running of
an electric car on Tuesday night when
the fire apparatus had turned out for
fire. The Mayor explained that il had
been reported that the electric cars raced
the Junior apparatus down the main
street and that collision was averted at
the Square Corner" by the narrowest
margin. Mr.. Coblentz said that the COM
pany had issued an order requiring all
cars to stop when the fire apparatus was
using the street. He said that the matter
would be thoroughly investigated and
remedied.

Planning For Monocacy Battle
Anniversary

The monthly meeting of Fitzhugh Lee
Chapter, 279, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, was held Tuesday evening
Considerable routine business was trans
acted.
Plans were discussed for the fifteenth
anniversary of the Battle of Monocacy
which will occur on July 9. Various
committees have been appointed to COM
plete the work. 1t is too early vet to an
nounce any definite program, but it is
safe to say the occasion will be one of in
terest 1t is hoped to have speakers
from the survivors of that battle, and it is
expected that many veterans will be pres
ent. As has already been published, the
proposed marker will be a simple boud-
er of Maryland Granite with a tablet
suitably inscribed.
After business a selection was read
from the address of the Historian Gen
eral, Mrs Rutherford, which was deliv-
cred at the annual convention in New
Orleans in November, 1913. This is an
excellent paper entitled THE South's
Part in Making History" 1t proves how
pre-emlnently the South has been in his
tory from the Colonial period to the pres
ent day

$4,000 Fire at sykesville.

Fire on Tuesday morning, February
3rd, DESTROYED the flour mill of Augustus
r. Selby, at Rover, Howard county, near
Sykesvile. and the loss, which is partly
covered by insurance, will amount to
upwards of $4,000.
The fire was caused by an explosion of
an engine in the mill, which is thought
TO have thrown spark on the roof. AS
the men were getting ready to start the
mill, the blaze was discovered on the
roof, and the telephone operator at
Sykesvile was called, who gave the
news of the fire TO the surrounding neigh
borhood. A crowd quickly gathered on
the scene, and in a short time there were
fully five hundred persons present. A
bucket brigade was formed and the res
dence of Mr.. Selby which is near the
mill, was saved.

Owner of DOG Fined. ESQ.

On the charge of being the owner of a
dog which was allowed to roam the
streets without a muzzle and which bit
two boys, Frank Heffner was found
guilty before Justice Dennis on Tuesday
evening, February grid, and fined s.. so.
Heffner was arrested by order of Mayor
Fraley, to whom certain residents had
complained about the canine, and al
though Dog Catcher Titlow has been do
ing some good work, the Mayor has is
sued orders to the police to arrest all
owners OF dogs, whose animals are seen
swapping at children.
Had it not been that Heffner had tried
to get rid OF the animal, Justice Dennis
stated that the fine would have been
much heavier for one of the boys who
were bitten, Nile yesterday, was com,
PEELED to summon physician to dress

Tree 800 Years Old.

The "grand-daddy" chestnut tree of
Frederick county is no more. 1t reached
the age of 800 years, it is estimated.
Death was due to general debility or
senility. The stately old tree was 10 feet
high, feet in diameter and about III feet
around. 1t made 10 loads of wood when
cut up.
The old tree was on the farm of Mr..
William P. Morsell, which is along the
Jefferson pike near Frederick This farm
was formerly part of the Edward How
ard estate, and generations of the How
ard family have seen this old tree and
gathered chestnuts from it. Mrs. VIM.
P. Morsell, who was a Miss Howard be-
fore marriage, says she remembers her
father speak of the tree, which for CEN
turtles has stood through storms and sun
shine.
By counting the rings on the tree, Mr..
William Howard has made an estimate
that the old tree was fully 300 years old.
The tree was felled by Lewis Plunkard
and Jacob Henry. 1t was located near
the old Howard home, and was famil-
lar sight to all who have been on the
farm.
If the tree is 800 years old, which is
very likely since chestnut trees do attain
great age and grow to immense size, il
has stood there since before the Revolu-
tlonary War, going back to 1914 II
goes back to the days of the Indians and
wildernesses, and if the old tree could
talk it could probably tell all kinds of in
teresting things. Frederick's whole his
tory was enacted during the life of the
old tree.
The largest known chestnut tree is the
famous Castagno di cento cavilli, or the
chestnut of hundred horses, on the
slopes OF Mount Etna, tree which when
measured nearly hundred years age
was found to have circumference Of
100 feet.
The chestnut tree Of the Howard es
tate has been bearing some chestnuts
even IN recent years.

Appropriation Law For Monte
tevue to be Enacted.

The law under which Montevue has
received SO, 900 from the State for
the years 1912 and 1913 will be
re-enacted within short time, according
to the announcement of Jacob Rohrback,
attorney to the Board of County Com
misSloners.
This sum supplies the deficiency be-
tween the sum appropriated by the
county for the care of the Montevue pa
tients and the actual sum required for
such care. The county appropriation is
500 for each patient. All in excess of
that sum comes out of the $4,000 State
appropriation.
The original appropriation was only
for the years 1912 and 1913, and the re-
enactment IS necessary to continue the
States support of the institution.

Lard Ruins Mail.

"A case of poor packing of Parcel Post
matter was discovered at the Frederick
Postoffice, when Io-pound can of lard
was found to have bursted open and
smeared over the contents of third class
mail sack. 1t is thought the can of lard
was placed too near radiator and heat
ed and then came open. The third class
mail consisted of newspapers and circu-
lars. The clerks at the postof1ice had a
merry time in cleaning the lard from the
mail matter sufficiently to enable 1t being
sent through the postoffice.
