why do they choose goods from mail or

Library Needs Funds.

The Frederick county public lib
airy has asked financial support of
the county commissioners for the ex-
tension of the work the coming year
and will, it is reported, ask the board
of aldermen for the same support.
1t was Monday morning that a COM
mittee from the library association
appeared before the county commits
sioners and asked for the donation of
funds. The committee suggested that
$500 would be very acceptable con-
tribution.
Those in the committee, Mrs. JOS
D. Baker, Miss Elinor Johnson, Miss
Akin and DR.. Joseph H. Apple.
The association is now making pre-
parations to conduct the library work
in the county during the ensuing ifs
cal year along just as progressive
lines as their funds will permit. Just
the extent of the progressiveness of
the library will depend almost entire
ly upon the contributions. The mem
bers of the committee said that sub
scriptions toward the support of the
library were not as large or as num-
erous as they were last year and it
was hoped to materially increase this
years fund.

Fire Districts Suggested.

Although he had the highest praise
for the fire companies of the city and
commended the good work that the
firemen have done, Fire Marshal Geo.
Edward Myers urges the city be di-
vided into districts.
Efficiency and economy should ever
be the watch-words of the firemen,"
said Marshal Myers Anything which
can be done to aid the department
must be with this in view. l am es
pecially anxious for the firemen Of
Frederick to cooperate. l am proud
of the department here and l often
point to the fine work done by them in
fighting the flames. / know of no fire.

plished better work, not only in the

but when at fires. Frederick firemen

will continue to be at the top OF the

everything else. They cannot remain

Human Bones are Displayed.

Three human bones, those from a
mans arm, were introduced in evil
dence yesterday during the trial of
the $4,000 damage case brought by
Roy II. White, of Hagerstown, against
DIR. Frank n Hoffmeier and DR.. Pere-
CRIME Wroth, Of Hagerstown. BY the
use of the bones it was sought to
show that the defendants had proper
ly treated a fracture of Whites right
arm. 1t is claimed by the plaintiff
that the physicians failed to properly
set the member with the result that
White has been made permanent
cripple.
DR.. George e. Bennett was on the
stand much of the time yesterday. 1t
was while he was being examined that
the human bones were displayed from
the witness stand.
Shortly before o'clock DIR. A. p
Stauffer was placed on the witness
stand and was questioned at length
by both sides on the question as tC
whether or not Whites arm had beer
properly handled by the physicians
who were first called by him. In the
forenoon DR.. Wroth was examined.

Narrow Escape From Death.

Asleep in burning bed in the
boarding house conducted by Miss An
|nie Hagan, North Market street, four
year-old Frances Kane was saved
from death or serious injury by her
|mother, Mrs. Agnes Kane, who, I'M
|heedful of harm to herself, dashed in
to the room and carried the child to
safety. The fire is believed to have
been caused by matches left on the
bed by Frances when she fell asleep.
How she obtained possession of them,
is a mystery.
Quick action on the part of neigh
bors, led by Albert Schroeder, pre-
vented the blaze from spreading fur
Their than the bed room, situated in
the rear of the second floor. The
damage probably win amount to about
500. Reports last night were that
neither mother nor child had suffered
any i'll effects as the result of the fire.
The fire companies had barely got
ten into their quarters after extin-
gushing fire which demolished the
stable owned by Frederick Smith, in
the rear of his home at q West South
street, when they responded to an
alarm from the Hagan home. They
found, however, that their services
were not required, the blaze having
already been extinguished.
A number of persons were in the
frame house at the time of the fire.
Frances Kane had been slightly i'll
and her mother had insisted on her
staying in the bed room. Mrs. Kane
had left her there and had gone down.
stairs. Some time later the mother,
smelling smoke, traced it to the child's
room, and, opening the door, was hor-
rified to find the room enveloped nj
fire and smoke. Without hesitating,
she dashed into the room, picked up
her daughter from the burning bed
and hurried to safety, choking and al
most suffocated by the dense smoke
caused by burning mattress.

Prisoners in the Frederick Jail are

back after an absence of some time
and his stews and hashes will once
again please the palates of the long
term prisoners who have previously
tasted of his culinary achievements.

succeed Joe" Kelley, Of Brunswick,

The Brunswick "Joe" who, by a
strange coincidence, is in on the
same charge on which the Thurmont

shas substituted for his 1amesake but
the inmates vote that he is not in the
same class of cooks as the Kelley of
Thurmont is.
The Thurmont Kelley was arrested
Tuesday afternoon by Policeman Fra
ley, in the vicinity of Meters bakery,
and arraigned before Justice Anders
in police court last night, when he
was given his choice of a So fine or
