LITTLE HOPE OF SECURING
GAS FOR NEXT WINTERS USE
Test of BraxtOn Field Has Proven
Disappointing to Gas COMPANY.


Disappointing to Gas Company.
Unless the fourth we'll to be drilled
in the Braxton field by the West Vir-
ginia and Maryland Gas Company, the
parent concern of the Northern Nat
ural Gas Company, which supplies
that commodity to users in this and
other towns of Garrett county, proves
much greater producer than the first
and third wells, the community will
be without sufficient supply of gas
during the coming winter for cooking
or lighting, according to the infer
ence contained in a letter received on
Monday from Mr.. John B. Richards,
Baltimore, one of the attorneys for
the gas company, and directed to the
city officials of Cumberland.
Mr.. Richards stated that the three
wells drilled in the Braxton field had
brought in but 100000 cubic feet of
gas, while one we'll proved buster"
The first we'll had a flow of 100000
cubic feet. while the third one only
produced 100000 cubic feet, this being
secured in what is known as the Salt
sand, while no gas was found in the
Big Injun sand. Mr. Richards point
ed out that the test of the field as
far as the company has gone was so
disappointing that it would not justi-
fly connecting the Braxton field with
the Weston field, which serves Oak
land now. He said the fourth
well which is now under way would
not be completed for two months, but
little hope was held by the company
for flow, from this in sufficient guam
titles to justify the extension of the
pipe line.
Mr.. Richards said The gas company

fiat rate to consumers here until Sep

MAsQUE BALL MONDAY NIGHT

Men a Pronounced Success.

Return Dance Given by Inc 1Oung
Men Pronounced Success.
The fancy. dress ball given on Mon
day night of this weey at Offutt's
Hall by a number of the gentlemen
of town, was marked success in
every way and was pronounced by
those present a fitting return for the
leap year dance given by the ladies
last month.
The hall was beautifully decorated,
as on the former occasion, and varied
and unique costumes of the dancers
made a riot of color and beauty. Mu
sic of high order, full of originality
and pep was furnished by Mr.. Edgar
Barrett's orchestra from Morgantown.
The program opened with a grand
march, which was followed by a fox
trot, and this in turn by the walt
unique" during which the lights in
the hall were lowered and the dancers
used flash lights as an illuminant. At
the end of the first cotillion figure
there was an intermission of twenty
minutes for judging the ladies cos
tunes. Miss Marjorie Burgess, of
Huntington, West Va, was awarded
first prize; Miss Elsie Hanst, of Oak
land, second, and Miss Mary Schroe-
der, of Grafton, West Va, third prize.
The costumes were the big feature
of the evening, many of them being
things of grace and beauty, while
others were most amusing and good
for laugh every five minutes. Many
of the dancers were so cleverly dis
guised that they could not be recog-
place just after the first cotillion
figure. Refreshments were served at
a late hour. Other novel and pleas
ing features were part of the even
ing's entertainment and the "home
waltz" found everybody reluctant to
bring suchsa delightful evening to an
end. Among those on the floor were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon Mealy, Mr.

clTYs GLoRlEs OF THE PAST
AdrianopIe, Today only Geographical
ly important, Was once Metropolis
of a Great Empire.

II Adrlanople cannot boast as long
and romantic a story as Constantine
ople, she can point to the days when
she was the metropolis of one Of the
greatest empires the world has ever
known.
The foundations Of her greatness
were laid some lS00 years ago by
Hadrian, one Of the greatest Of Roman
emperors, who built palaces and tenn
pies there of splendor such as east
ern Europe had never known. And
she soon promised to eclipse her great
rival on the Bosporus, though that city
had already been a world-famous cap
ital for 700 years.
During the centuries that followed
her imperial cradllng, Adrianople lived
through exciting and perilous times.
Less than 200 miles from Constan-
tinople, she shared much of the tur-
buent life of which that coveted city
was center. In the fifth century we
see her fighting fercely against At
tila's savage hordes until her streets
ran red with blood. Again and again
she fought no less valiantly and stub
bornly against the raiding Bulgarians.
We see her in furious battle with
Persians and Ayars, and she sent her
sons under the banner Of Heraclius,
to wage war against the Saracens.
Thus the turbulent tide of Adrianople's
history rolls on through the centuries.
rm-tossed and tinged with blood.
But the Byzantine empire, which
had seen over 1000 years of stirring
life, at last came to its end. The
Turkish tide, which had swept to the
eastern shore of the BospOrus, and
now sought to swamp Europe, proved
much too strong for the dying empire
to resist and in 1861 we see the sol
diers of Amurath pouring into Adrian
ople, and the sultan installing himself
in the city.
Thus, after more than 1,200 years,
the city Hadrlan had founded blossom
ed into the capital of Il new and alien
empire, which was soon to spread IT.
self further than the empire it had
succeeded. Within a few generations
Amurath's successor, Sulelman the
Magnificent, was ruling over more
than twenty races of men In three
continents. OF this old-time magnifi-
cence few traces remain.

erawth Of Museum Of Art.

The celebration of the fiftieth an
nlversary of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art recalls much that is interesting
in the early history of the museum,
which was Incorporated April 13, 1870,
and whose opening reception was held
on Feb. 20 1872, says the New York
Evening Sun.
The museum came into being by
raising $250,000 for all purposes in
Guiding the purchase of works of art
of every description. as well as the
maintenance of the institution. Today
one article of one collection, the Ros-
pigliosi cup of Benvenuto Cellini, is
valued at this sum. while the value
of the collection as a whole cannot
even be estimated.

Many paupers who begged for a
livelihood We're found after their
death to have possessed enormous
wealth. A notorious case IS that Of
Jean Baptste Roateau, who died In
q gypsy camp outside of Paris after
begging for 20 years Gripped tight
ly in his hand was found the KEY to
strong box in Paris bank. The
box contalned 100000 in gold, notes
and securtes-all the property Of
this beggar.
Before the recent world war
there died in a Berlin garret Herr
SchWarz, known to his neighbors as
one of the poorest of the poor. He
sailed out daily into the fashionable
quarters of the city, garbed in
filthy rags and carrying sack
In which he collected crusts and
other scraps of food. When he died
there was found in his wretched
quarters 100000 mostly in gold
concealed in jars and bottles, and
in bank notes, which served as
stullng for his bed.
Samuel Rogers lived the life of
tramp at Long Branch, N. J., and
used to walk from that city to
New York to bank his money. He
left $4,000, although he always CON
sidered himself too poor to buy food
or clothing. He encased his feet in
old pieces of burlap and ate whatever
he could find, even to apple cores and
crusts from the street.

Chemicals Extracted From seaweed

DR.. ]. w. Turrentine of the depart
ment of agriculture, in addressing the
spring meeting of the American Chem
icaI society at st. Louis, said that
before long America would be inde-
pendent of foreign countries for
iodine and bleaching carbon and to
a large extent for potash
Dr. Turrentine further stated that
the seaweed which grows in abun-
dance on the Pacific coast can be
made part of a profitable industry
in the making Of potash. About 30
products and by-products and deriv-
atives have been Obtainable from
kep, some of which have commercial
value and are obtainable in large
quantities and at small cost.
Products of common use obtained
from kelp are ammonia, table salt,
creosote, pitch, combustlble gas and
Prussian blue.
