FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week October 29th, A. H. Woods pre-
sents the success that ran an entire sea-
son at the Metropolis,
CHEATING CHEATERS,
with the great New York cast.
The week of October 29th at Ford's
will be eventful in the presentation OF
the remarkable farcical melo-drama,
Cheating Cheaters," with record of
an entire season of success at the Me-
tropois.
A better play has seldom been seen,
and not the least factor of its triumph is
that it can be seen more than once, and
usually is. The play is full of surprises
and keeps the audience constantly puz-
zled, and no amount of guessing can tell
how the author is going to end his story.
The biggest surprise of all is reserved
for the final curtain, when the spectator
is doubly astonished; it is this delicious
trickery that causes one to go again and
take along friend to enjoy his inability
to solve the problem.
"Cheating Cheaters" is splendid play
full of thrills and laughter and is acted
by splendid company that realizes every
dramatic and farcical possibility of the
narrative.
Matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
Admission 25 to so cents. Evenings Soc,

100000 Now Bearing Arms

At least 3s, 900, 900 men are bearing
arms in the war-27, 500, 900 on the side
of the world allies and 10000, 900 on the
side of the Central Powers, according to
latest War Department compilations
from published reports in various coun-
tries. These figures do not include naval
personnel strength, which would raise
the total several millions.
Against Germans 1000, 900, Austria's
5000, 900, Turkeys 300, 900 and Bulgaria's
300, 900. are arrayed the following armed
forces: Russia, 5000, 600; France, 6,0OO,-
600; Great Britain, 5000, 900; Italy,
5000, 900; Japan, 400, 900; United States
more than l, 900, 900; China, 54l, 900; Rou-
mania, 32O, 900; Serbia, 300, 900; Belgium,
300, 900; Portugal 100000; Montenegro,
40, 900; Siam, $1,000; Cuba, 1000, and
Liberia, 400. San Marino and Panama
also have small forces under arms.
Military experts do not regard these
figures as entirely accurate, but believe
they represent in round numbers the
comparative strengths of the contending
armies as published recently.

Noted Pu8iliSt Dead.

Robert Fitzsimmons, former champion
heavyweight pugilist of the world. died
at hospital in Chicago on Monday after
an illness of five days of pneumonia.
The former champion was taken sick
Tuesday of last week while appearing in
a vaudeville theatre and his ailment was
at first diagnosed as ptomaine poisoning.
Later it was discovered that he was suf-
fering from double pneumonia and phy-
sicians said he could not live. His re-
markable vitality sustained him until
Saturday when he lapsed into uncon-
seriousness from which he did not rally
except at rare intervals.
Fitzsimmons made a fortune in the
ring, his earnings soon vanishing. He
had varied matrimonial career, having
been married four times.
Funeral services for the dead fighter
were held at the Moody Tabernacle,
Chicago, Wednesday.

Red Cross DedicateS Home.

The "Merryland Tract" Branch of the
Frederick County Chapter of the Red
Cross, the first home ever built exclus-
lively for Red Cross work in Maryland
and as far as is known the first in this
country except the national headquarters
at Washington, was dedicated at Bruns-
wick, Tuesday, October %. The build
ing, erected during the summer, is the
gift of Doctor and Mrs. c. w. R. Crum.
of Brunswick. 1t is entirely in white
and the furniture is decorated with little
red crosses. 1t is being used as a meet
ing and work place for the members of
the "Merryland Tract" Branch of the
society.
Bishop John Gardner Murray, of Mary
land, officiated at the ceremony before a
large assembly of officers and members
of the Frederick County Chapter. Ad-
dresses were made by Joseph d. Baker,
chairman; Judge Hammond Urner, vice.
chairman of the chapter. and Judge T..
J. C. Williams, of Baltimore.
There are % Red Cross branches in
Frederick county with 5000 active men,
bers. When national headquarters call

Last Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Dorsey and Mr.. and Mrs. William Fore
man, of this place, autoed to Camp
Meade. They report having most en-
joyable trip to the Camp. They found
Messrs. Earl Black and Ray Weddle and
spent much of their time with them.
Both of these young men are police
officers in the Camp. The return trip,
however, proved not SO enjoyable. Near
Cstonsville car ran into Mr.. Dorsey's
Chevrolet and damaged it so badly that
it it could not be brought home. At
garage they were loaned Ford, and
after going some distance the lights
went out. Mr.. Foreman walked about
a mile and bought a lantern and placing
this on the radiator they slowly made
their way home, arriving here near mid

Big Athletic Event.
Track Events, Baseball, Foot.
ball, Drills, Music.

On Wednesday of next week, October
3lst, one of the greatest Military Ath-
letic Meets ever staged will be held on
Echo Field at Mt. St. Mary's College,
near Thurmont.
From the Army Regimental Camp at
Gettysburg, will come liz boys in khaki
to participate in the many track events,
all picked men from the various regi.
ments now in camp at that place. All
track events will be held in the morning,
the program beginning at 10 O'Clock.
Many noted officials in Athletic Asso-
Citations will be present.
The afternoon will be devoted to foot
ball and baseball, games beginning at
1.3O. Teams from the 7th and 58th reg
iments will battle for honors on the oval,
and the 7th regiment nine will tackle Mt.
St. Mary's nine in a baseball contest.
The events of the day will conclude
with full regimental drill. The entire
proceeds from this event will be used for
the promotion of camp athletics at Get
tysburg.
A feature in the morning will be the
hike from Gettysburg to Mt. St. Mary's
by the two regiments.
There will be three regimental bands
with the boys and music in abundance
will be heard during the day.
Military police will guard the Athletic
grounds and premises about the College.
Admission for the entire day will be
so cents.
This is an unusual opportunity for peo-
pie of this community to see some very
fast work on the athletic field at small
cost, and many should go and witness
the many events. Your money will all
be used to benefit the soldiers.

Cold School Rooms.
Pupils Sent Home Because OF
Lack of Heat.

Winter is not quite here as yet, al
though there has been some quite cold
nights and ice has formed on a number
of occasions. The temperature is so low
that it is necessary to have fire to heat
your home, your church, and your school
building, but fire in the Thurmont School
building, however heavy, availeth but
little. The hot air just won't circulate
into every room at all times.
Monday evening of this week Prof.
Isanogle was seen rubbing his eyes and
making frequent use of his handkerchief.
Caught cold out in the schoolhouse last
week, the temperature never above 30 in
the chemistry room, and l must put in a
stove to properly heat it" was his re-
marks to those nearby.
Another gentleman in the crowd stat
ed that one of his children suffered with
rheumatism for six weeks last winter be.
cause of sitting in the too poorly heated
rooms.
Children carrying books and evidently
homeward bound about eleven O'Clock
Tuesday morning attracted our attention.
Upon inquiry it was learned that their
room was too cold and their teacher dis
missed them. Of course whole day
was lost to them in their work.
Last winter the same thing occurred
time and again. If one room was not
cold another was, and when one was COM
Portable, in another the students were
roasting. The janitor, Mr.. Knott, can
do the firing, but he cannot carry the hot
air up the numerous flues and dump it in
each room. The electric fan helps out
sometimes but not all the time.
Our children should have properly heat
ed and comfortable rooms. but it would
seem that they are doomed to all sorts
of temperature at present, and will be
for sometime to come unless other heat
ing fixtures are installed in the building.
The question is how long will the patrons
Of the school tolerate cold rooms for
their children.

Arm Hurt In Cogwhee|.
Narrow Escape From Perhaps
Fatal Injury.

Last Friday morning soon after six
o'clock, an accident occurred at A. H.
Etzler's flour mill, this place, that came
near causing the loss of one life.
One of the many pipe in the mill be-
came clogged and Mr.. Ross Delaplane
went to the third floor to help get things
in working order. While cleaning some
grist off the machinery, his right blouse
sleeve came in contact with two beveled
cogwheels and his arm was pulled in to
the shoulder. His heavy clothing caus-
ed the wheels to choke and the betting to
slip. MIR. VIM. Cover noticed the slip
ping belt and ran to the third floor, he
having first notified engineer Kelley to
to shut down.
He found Delaplane fast, the wheel
having caught him on the inside of the
arm. 1t was found that the skin was
pinched from the wrist to the armpit,
but not very badly. His face was skined
by coming in contact with revolving
shaft. No bones were broken and while
his arm is very sore now, he expects to be
at work in short time.

Old Trees Removed.

The large locust trees which have stood
sentinel around the Osler building on the
public square in this place for many
years were removed last week. Work
along the State road and the fact that
the trees were getting old caused their
