HORSE ANDpBUGGY
DAYS /.
By the Old Lamp Lighter

The NSharpsburg Enterpd Use of
August 4, 1882, had the following
interesting items: What is the
cure for gossip? Simply culture.
There is a great deal of gossip
that has no malignity in it. Good
natured people talk about their
neighbors because, and only be-
cause, they have nothing else to
talk about. Gossip is always a
personal confession either of NAL
ice or imbecility, and the young
should not only shun it. but by
the most thorough culture, relieve
themselves from all temptations
to indulge in it. 1t is low, frivo-
lous, and too often a dirty bust
ness. There are country neigh
borhoods in which it RACES like a
pest Churches are split in pieces
by it. Neighbors make enemies
by it for life. In many persons it
degenerates into a chronic disease
which is practically incuahble."
Some idea of the amount of
local and through travel on the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad (now
the Norfolk and Westerly may be
gathered from the following: Last
Sunday the New Orleans Express,
which leaves Hagerstown at 500
A. NJ, carried nearly $50 passen-
gers between that point and Roam
oke, Va, a distance of 239 miles.
The Western Maryland Railroad
on Sunday received So carloads of
produce from the South over the
Shenandoah Valley and connecting
lines. Fifteen Of the cars were
loaded with cattle from East Ten
nessee and Georgia. Within the
past week at least 10000 bushels
of wheat have been received by
the Western Maryland from the
Southwest, mainly from territory
contiguous to Nashville and Chat
tanooga. This is an entirely new
trade to Baltimore, secured by the
opening up of the Shenandoah Val
ley road and the traffic promises
to continue heavy"
Extensive preparations are in
progress for the approaching ex-
hibition of the Washington Coun-
ty Agricultural and Mechanical
Association. The grounds and

Don't Mix Soup With Handlebar Moustache
 At NY. Worlds s Fair

New York - Epicurean curiosity which never killed a human being whatever its mortality among fe- lines, will be satisfied at the scores of restaurants and cafes of the New York Worlds Fair 1899. From the three-letter dish, poa, of the Pacific, the honey dripping dainties of the Near East, the lowly frijoles of Mex ico and the hors d'oeuvres of the French cef, to plain American food, there will be delicacies for every palate and prices for every pocket book.
 Sophisticated gourmets will rub elbows with coatless individuals en- toying a hot roast sandwich and 8 glass of beer, and the sandwich will taste just as good, with little mus tard on it, as the pOularde supreme, canard Nantais a POrange, souffle aux framboises and other French succulencies.
 The Belgian pavilion will offer a variety of dishes in Flemish and Walloon style. Greece will serve the specialties of the Near East; Rou- mania will display it's game from the mountains, while the Neither lands will import the mysterious rice and seafood dishes of the Dutch East Indies. A jug of wine and a cool melon may be had at the Per- sian pavilion, and of course don't forget the Brazilian coffee or the native Brazilian vegetables, many of which are strange to Aemricans Peru will show how it's workers are fed in a health fashion for a few pennies a meal.
 But as a rule, American foods, served the America nway, will pre- dominate at the Fair. Theren be many modern cafes and restau- rants and two or three in George Jessels "Old New York" which will bring a touch of nostalgia to old timers and where the handlebar moustaches may have trouble with the soup.

FIGHTS TO WEAR
 WOMEN CLOTHES

Paris, May 3.-(UP).-Michel Poulain, music hall artist, appears in court otday in defense of his right to wear women's clothes. He will wear a demure spring ensemble and say that he wears women's clothes because he likes them, that his wife and children have no objections, that he has al- ways worn women's clothes and that the only mems clothing he owns is his uniform as non-commiSsoined officer in the dragons.
 He is suing to have conflscated all copies of a French magazine which used his picture to illustrate an ar- ticle on sex.
 When he was called up to army service during the Czechoslovak crisis last September, he said, he took along dresses to wear ruring his leave and his comrades made no complaints.
 Poulain thinks dresses befit his trim figure and slender, delicate arms, than anything designed for mems wear.

MAKER OF GLASS
 FLOWERS IS DEAD

Cambridge, Mass, May 3. - (UP) = The secret of the manufacture of Harvard's famous glass flowers died with their creator, Rudolph Blasch- ka, university officials said today.
 Blaschka, 82, died in Hosterwitz, Germany, Monday.
 With his father Leopold, who died in 1895, Blaschka sent the first small shipment of glass flowers to Har- yard in 1887, and since then the en- tire output of their studio - models of $40 species of flowing plants and more than $500 sections and mag nified details - has come here.
 The Blaschkas did all the work alone without the aid of a single as- sistant or apprentice. Because of Hines sand impaired vision, Blaschka cetsed work some time ago and his last shipment, IS fruit models, ar- rived in September, 1886.
 The glass-flower exhibits in Har- yard University Museum attract 25O, ,000 visitors year.

The structure, still lacking a year of completion, is as unique and novel in the history of Amer ican architecture as the man and his students who are building it. When finished it will house the permanent winter quarters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
 A year ago Wright and between 20 and 30 pupils came from Green Sulphur Springs, Wis, the summer headquarters; pitched their tents on the rocky slope of mountain above the school site and started to create from the rocks about them Some- thing distinctly different and inspir- ing as the center of their architec- tural thought and activities.
 Last year this group of scholars among them three girls-moved great boulders in place for founda- tions and set them in cement, ex- cavated for Sunken gardens and a pool, built ramparts for fills on the slop of the mountain and completed the stone walls of the main study hall.
 Supplies were hauled over road the students made themselves and which retains all the unexpected jogs and ruts of pioneer trail.
 The first completed dwelling was cottage for Wright and has fam fly. The students, however, will live intents for another year because the dormitory wing of the construc- tion will be the last part of the program.
 Three sharply contracting mate rials were used in building the one story structure-stone, canvas and rough sawed pine. Rampant walls to carry the superstructure, and for the terrace and loggias, were built of native basalt rocks, found on the site, and thrown together, random joint, and with just enough cement to hold them. No wall is vertical. Angles and "V'' fluctuations break the monotony. No wall runs for any great distance without a break or angle in its direction. But there are no curves anywhere.
 From the walls, which run less than head-high in the main hall great wood trusses go up on the north side of the room and then slope downward and across, drop ping again on the south side to en- close the room. Between the trusses are laid series of overlapping can- vas-covered frames, much like a series of gigantic shingles. Some of them can be lifted for ventila- tion.
