From this time until December Ist j Mr. Goss will give a tine turkey each j evening to the marksman making the best score. For the time being a daily turkey will be a seasonable amendment to “daily bread.” A Watery Topic. So. Mr. Mayor. Water committee and Council, the Porter’s Corner Star wants water for a 2'. j -horse power motor! That overtakes, passes, distances and beats all “outside requests” for wafer! Long time the Journal wanted water tor a motor, hut it never—no, never had the cheek to hint the wish ! “As the heart panteth after the water brooks,” so the Jot rnal hankered for the motor, which, like the “brook,” is not worth the name without “water." But as the ice. which is frozen water, is broken, gentlemen of Council, tin* Journal wants a water motor, too, and the water to run it. It is wanted for about the same reason the P. C. Star wants it. Secured, the great paper will go into the job printing business in a way which for //•'<//>/// and sh/lr will make competition’s head swim. Seriously, gentlemen, you haven’t the water for either of ns. The motor is the thirstiest of all lovers of water. The famished soda fountain, ahvays-dry barber-shop, nor the insatiate laundry is “in it" with tin* motor—not even at la or 30 cents a thousand gallons. At £1.02 a thousand, the price the Journal is paying, a motor would drink itself to death in less than a month ! Hence, gentlemen of Council, the law of water supplv and demand would seem to be both written and unwritten that no institution endowed with the prerogative to make Frosthurg water scarce should be allowed to grow up in or outside of town. It rev it les. The democratic party, according to the Lonaconiiig newspaper association opposed to public educational enterprise, has the House of Delegates by 7 to 3, or about 11 to Allegany’s 5, or just enough to be laughed at when they chirp “Nor mill School.” The Journal understands there has been some dangerous distribution of poison in “the growing end” by people aiming to reduce the population of cats and dogs. As a remedy for congestion of that character poison, recklessly scattered, is worse than the disease. Some other and more legitimate means should he employed. Benjamin Williams, of this place, has been awarded an increase of pension. Water superintendent Jeffries re- ported i x .i feet of water in storage reservoir. “The man under the gun” will have to do better than that when the two motors get to drinking from that pool, or lop off the figure “7” in first report thereafter. After all. looks like tin* election was an 87 1 4 jh rrrnl. endorsement of the convention riot. Remember —that the harkeep’s inter view with “The Eckhart Philosopher” was intended for publication last week. The Mayor reports trans-Savage im- provements as having added about .>,OOO gallons a day to water supply—- not quite a gallon for each man, woman and child. This is very small, however, when one considers that it takes 112 gallons to effect 1-horse power in on.* second, or 280 gallons for 2 1 .-horse power. At this rate the proposed motor will drink the 5,000 gallons in nearly 18 seconds. The New York ll 'arid has ascertained that the percentage of injury and mor- tality from prize fighting and foot-ball, compared, is against the latter. Last year 7 men were killed in pugilism, 12 iu football; a few were seriously injured in prize tights, 153 in foot-hall. Which is why the Journal takes little or no stock in either. About 5 months hence the people will see that a paper which favored a course which costs town and county £25,000 is a very dear institution. And then a dollar a year besides! And a water motor ! Miss Annie Stanton has resigned charge of the Western Maryland Tele- phone exchange. She is succeeded by Miss Dot Thompson, who, in turn, is succeeded by Miss Cora Wade, assistant. Dr. J. Marshall Price wrote to the Porter’s Corner Star, shouldering the responsibility for*all the conditions at Hill street school lately charged to the current board of school commissioners. But it wouldn’t do. A. C. Willison was a democratic nominee, Dr. Price not, and to save MeComas the Star wouldn't allow the doctor to acquit Willison by incriminating himself. Meanwhile, State Normal School can take its chances and get away from “tin* old hoy” if it can. A subscriber, held in very high esteem at these headquarters, added £1.50 to a hill for job work sent the other day and itemized it as “amount, plus one year’s subscription for tin* paper which is great.” That is a compliment of tin* practical sort which is intense, and the Journal knows it to be, like the man, earnestly sincere. John H. Wartmann, editor of the Rockingham (Va.) I{riji*trr, and a tutor of the editor hereof, frequently said—- “write 1tetter than you talk; in fact, don’t write like you talk.” Matter is mentioned here for instruction of “Independent,” leaning against, not toward the democratic ticket, in last ! week’s Porter’s Corner Star, If A. C. Willison is not for any j reason qualilied to represent Allegany ! county in the Legislature, will the ! Porter’s Corner Star assign a similar \ reason why it should ]H*rmit him to re- j main at the head of the School Board? ; This done, let it designate the Delegate- | elect who is better fitted than he to preside over school administration. MeComas didn’t know, probably, that his cause here rested on bad demo- cratic control of good republican sewage. Election judges who allowed too many outsiders to witness the count and to argue with them concerning defec- tive ballots made a twofold mistake. Henry Williams was the first to pay his assessment on account of street paving—this on tin* principle that “the easiest way to get rid of a debt is—pay it.” The Journal believes lie has set an example which, if followed by all, will relieve the paving situation of much ! unpleasantness. If Council will place a metre as a vesti- bule to that 2 1 . horse-power motor and charge £1.62 a thousand gallons, same as is charged to and paid by the Jour- nal, it will be able within 3 hours and i 59 miuub’S to payoff the national debt, of Frosthurg. Mining^^Joijrnal J. n ODER . Editor. FROSTBURO, MD NOVEMBER 7. l!fl McCnmAN vn, Hoiiir —Both Lose. It would, indeed, he a most remarkable condition of affairs if the future of the State Normal School at depended solely upon the election of A. Willison, democratic candidate for the House of Dele- gates.—Porter's Corner Slur. The “remarkable condition” is—no- body ever contended that “the future of the State Normal School at Frost- burg depended solely upon the election of A. C. Willison," etc. And now with the following testi- mony from the Star, if “it’s so,” we will see that Mr. Willison's defeat robs the school of "a friend at court,” where friends will be needed: The attitude of the democratic party from the incipient stages of the establishment of the .Normal School in Frosthurg has- been hostile and antagonistic, and it has been by the most strenuous efforts that the school was completed and is now being maintained, In any other quarter this statement would tie regarded as conclusive of pop- ular duty to retain the services of a man who would have both voice and force in his party. Instead we hav. this: Notwithstanding the facts we are asked by the democratic press to vote for Mr Willison to save the State Normal School, and everyone who does not endorse his can didacy must have his home patriotism and educational loyalty impeached. That’s the alternative which the Journal now insists upon and will continue to shoot into such enemies td the school as is the Porter's Corner star. The county voter who preferred to con tinue Louis K. MeComas in the United States Senate rather than take just one step toward perpetuating the school is not patriotic nor Iwjnt! There is no getting out of this pinch. Now then a word for what the Por- ter’s Corner Star calls “the democratic press," meaning the Journal. In asking republican voters to make Mr. Willison a special envoy to the Legislature in the interest of the school it provided for a democratic con- tingency'. It wanted only one demo- crat in the event of a democratic legis- lature, leaving to four republicans tin mission of winning to our favor a re- publican legislature if the latter so turned out. Being an enterprising school man, Mr. Willison is exceptionally endowed for the mission the Journal named for him—so endowed, indeed, that in any legislature he would be hard to get away from in a matter so deserving as our school. For him the Journal asked just one of live votes—just one! Was that an extortionate, exacting, or even tin in- ordinate request For this one thing—one only, it sacri- ficed its prejudices against tiorman, because it wanted to see the school go on whether Gorman should sink or rise. The Porter's Corner Star has won, but the MeComas whom it preferred has lost, and the Lord only knows how five republicans, unschooled in legis- lation, are to persuade a democratic House of Delegates to give the school the 925,000 which their constituents, advised by the Star, say they wont have if it costs a single party life, big or little ! As occasion arises Un- Journal is going to keep this thing hot and rub it right under the collars of the gentle men who prefer MeComas' welfare to that of the town and county as these are interested in our school, pupils and teachers. Especially is it going to set itself to the task of not permitting the Porter’s Corner Star to wriggle out of responsi- bility for consequences it sought if it had no force in achieving them. Herat ie Work. Had many republicans done for State Normal No. 2 what they did for Deneen and Ash, the public, rather than mere individual welfare, would have been promoted. As it is, Deneen only profits, and it is goiug to keep Keuneweg ami Ash pretty busy out-voting three republicans when the 90-ceut tax rate comes “before the house.” A Two-fold Victory. The Lonaconiiig Urrieir makes a specialty of the statement Drum and Willison, democrats, are de- feated. One a labor, the other a school champion ! TOWN AND VICINITY. Coining Events.

A Valid Protest. Fhostwh ■, Mn„ Novcmiicr •*> inn.'b To tin* Mimno Joikn \i. I trust you will allow me space in your valuable paper to register my protest against a proceeding of the Mayor and Council at their last meeting. Several property-owners who live at Wright's crossing appeared before ( \un- cil and asked for permission to attach to the water line which runs down Welsh Hill, and the permit was granted by a vote of (> to 1, tin* Mayor cum- mendably casting his vote against it. The legislative Act under which the provision of a water supply was author- ized distinctly reads that “tin inhabitants of Frostburg" only should be supplied with water, and in running those lines outside of the corporate limits Counrii is infringing upon the lights of the tax- payers ami also breaking the law laid down as stated. Then if this sort of thing continues where are we going to stop? If other people building outside of the town limits continue to make these requests and they are granted according to the precedent established, we will soon i e supplying Borden Shaft with water. Lastly, these outsidepoints being towei than town, when water gets scarce the property-owners in town will have to go short and the outside non-owners get the supply.

Personal.Lawrence B. Koeli will return to-day

i to Wheeling, W. Va., to resume hisi duties, having about recovered from hisI recent prostration by typhoid fever.

Robert I). Wilson, of the Georges1 Creek Bald Knob Coal company, liead-

| quarters at Mt. Savage, was here Thurs-| day evening.

A Dally Turkey.The Goss rifle range keeps up its iu

terest to marksmen and is profitableto the successful shooters. Prizes wonlast week were as follows:

\o. I—£lo Victor A they 2s** 2 5 H. A. Martin 27** .*} Michael Miller 20The champion prize—£8 cash, was

won by Janies Coddington, who made,SO out of a possible iM>.

From this time until December Ist jMr. Goss will give a tine turkey each jevening to the marksman making thebest score.

For the time being a daily turkey willbe a seasonable amendment to “dailybread.”

A Watery Topic.So. Mr. Mayor. Water committee and

Council, the Porter’s Corner Star wantswater for a 2'.j -horse power motor!

That overtakes, passes, distances andbeats all “outside requests” for wafer!

Long time the Journal wanted watertor a motor, hut it never—no, neverhad the cheek to hint the wish !

“As the heart panteth after the waterbrooks,” so the Jot rnal hankered forthe motor, which, like the “brook,” isnot worth the name without “water."

But as the ice. which is frozen water,is broken, gentlemen of Council, tin*Journal wants a water motor, too, andthe water to run it. It is wanted forabout the same reason the P. C. Starwants it. Secured, the great paper willgo into the job printing business in away which for //•'<//>/// and sh/lr willmake competition’s head swim.

Seriously, gentlemen, you haven’t thewater for either of ns. The motor isthe thirstiest of all lovers of water.The famished soda fountain, ahvays-drybarber-shop, nor the insatiate laundryis “in it" with tin* motor—not even atla or 30 cents a thousand gallons. At£1.02 a thousand, the price the Journalis paying, a motor would drink itself todeath in less than a month !

Hence, gentlemen of Council, thelaw of water supplv and demand wouldseem to be both written and unwrittenthat no institution endowed with theprerogative to make Frosthurg waterscarce should be allowed to grow up inor outside of town.

It rev it les.The democratic party, according to

the Lonaconiiig newspaper associationopposed to public educational enterprise,has the House of Delegates by 7 to 3, orabout 11 to Allegany’s 5, or just enoughto be laughed at when they chirp “Normill School.”

The Journal understands there hasbeen some dangerous distribution ofpoison in “the growing end” by peopleaiming to reduce the population of catsand dogs. As a remedy for congestionof that character poison, recklesslyscattered, is worse than the disease.Some other and more legitimate meansshould he employed.

Benjamin Williams, of this place, hasbeen awarded an increase of pension.

Water superintendent Jeffries re-ported i x .i feet of water in storagereservoir. “The man under the gun”will have to do better than that whenthe two motors get to drinking fromthat pool, or lop off the figure “7” infirst report thereafter.

After all. looks like tin* election wasan 87 14 jhrrrnl. endorsement of theconvention riot.

Remember—that the harkeep’s interview with “The Eckhart Philosopher”was intended for publication last week.

The Mayor reports trans-Savage im-provements as having added about.>,OOO gallons a day to water supply—-not quite a gallon for each man, womanand child. This is very small, however,when one considers that it takes 112gallons to effect 1-horse power in on.*second, or 280 gallons for 2 1 .-horsepower. At this rate the proposed motorwill drink the 5,000 gallons in nearly18 seconds.

The New York ll 'arid has ascertainedthat the percentage of injury and mor-tality from prize fighting and foot-ball,compared, is against the latter. Lastyear 7 men were killed in pugilism, 12 iufootball; a few were seriously injured inprize tights, 153 in foot-hall. Which iswhy the Journal takes little or nostock in either.

About 5 months hence the people willsee that a paper which favored a coursewhich costs town and county £25,000 isa very dear institution. And then adollar a year besides! And a watermotor !

Miss Annie Stanton has resignedcharge of the Western Maryland Tele-phone exchange. She is succeeded byMiss Dot Thompson, who, in turn, issucceeded by Miss Cora Wade, assistant.

Dr. J. Marshall Price wrote to thePorter’s Corner Star, shouldering theresponsibility for*all the conditions atHill street school lately charged to thecurrent board of school commissioners.But it wouldn’t do. A. C. Willisonwas a democratic nominee, Dr. Pricenot, and to save MeComas the Starwouldn't allow the doctor to acquitWillison by incriminating himself.Meanwhile, State Normal School cantake its chances and get away from “tin*old hoy” if it can.

A subscriber, held in very high esteemat these headquarters, added £1.50 to ahill for job work sent the other day anditemized it as “amount, plus one year’ssubscription for tin* paper which isgreat.” That is a compliment of tin*practical sort which is intense, and theJournal knows it to be, like the man,earnestly sincere.

John H. Wartmann, editor of theRockingham (Va.) I{riji*trr, and a tutorof the editor hereof, frequently said—-“write 1tetter than you talk; in fact,don’t write like you talk.” Matter ismentioned here for instruction of“Independent,” leaning against, nottoward the democratic ticket, in last !week’s Porter’s Corner Star,

If A. C. Willison is not for any jreason qualilied to represent Allegany !county in the Legislature, will the !Porter’s Corner Star assign a similar \reason why it should ]H*rmit him to re- jmain at the head of the School Board? ;This done, let it designate the Delegate- |elect who is better fitted than he topreside over school administration.

MeComas didn’t know, probably,that his cause here rested on bad demo-craticcontrol of good republican sewage.

Election judges who allowed toomany outsiders to witness the count andto argue with them concerning defec-tive ballots made a twofold mistake.

Henry Williams was the first to payhis assessment on account of streetpaving—this on tin* principle that “theeasiest way to get rid of a debt is—payit.” The Journal believes lie has setan example which, if followed by all,will relieve the paving situation of much !unpleasantness.

If Council will place a metre as a vesti-bule to that 2 1

. horse-power motor andcharge £1.62 a thousand gallons, sameas is charged to and paid by the Jour-nal, it will be able within 3 hours and

i 59 miuub’S to payoff the national debt,of Frosthurg.

FROSTBURO, MD NOVEMBER 7. l!fl

McCnmAN vn, Hoiiir—Both Lose.It would, indeed, he a most remarkable

condition of affairs if the future of theState Normal School at dependedsolely upon the election of A. Willison,democratic candidate for the House of Dele-gates.—Porter's Corner Slur.

The “remarkable condition” is—no-body ever contended that “the futureof the State Normal School at Frost-burg depended solely upon the electionof A. C. Willison," etc.

And now with the following testi-mony from the Star, if “it’s so,” wewill see that Mr. Willison's defeat robsthe school of "a friend at court,” wherefriends will be needed:

The attitude of the democratic party fromthe incipient stages of the establishmentof the .Normal School in Frosthurg has-been hostile and antagonistic, and it hasbeen by the most strenuous efforts that theschool was completed and is now beingmaintained,

In any other quarter this statementwould tie regarded as conclusive of pop-ular duty to retain the services of aman who would have both voice andforce in his party. Instead we hav.this:

Notwithstanding the facts we are askedby the democratic press to vote for MrWillison to save the State Normal School,and everyone who does not endorse his candidacy must have his home patriotism andeducational loyalty impeached.

That’s the alternative which theJournal now insists upon and willcontinue to shoot into such enemies tdthe school as is the Porter's Corner star.The county voter who preferred to continue Louis K. MeComas in the UnitedStates Senate rather than take justone step toward perpetuating the schoolis not patriotic nor Iwjnt! There is nogetting out of this pinch.

Now then a word for what the Por-ter’s Corner Star calls “the democraticpress," meaning the Journal.

In asking republican voters to makeMr. Willison a special envoy to theLegislature in the interest of the schoolit provided for a democratic con-tingency'. It wanted only one demo-crat in the event of a democratic legis-lature, leaving to four republicans tinmission of winning to our favor a re-publican legislature if the latter so

turned out.Being an enterprising school man, Mr.

Willison is exceptionally endowed for themission the Journal named for him—soendowed, indeed, that in any legislaturehe would be hard to get away from in amatter so deserving as our school.

For him the Journal asked just oneof live votes—just one! Was that anextortionate, exacting, or even tin in-ordinate request

For this one thing—one only, it sacri-ficed its prejudices against tiorman,because it wanted to see the school goon whether Gorman should sink orrise.

The Porter's Corner Star has won,but the MeComas whom it preferredhas lost, and the Lord only knows howfive republicans, unschooled in legis-lation, are to persuade a democraticHouse of Delegates to give the school the925,000 which their constituents, advisedby the Star, say they wont have if itcosts a single party life, big or little !

As occasion arises Un- Journal isgoing to keep this thing hot and rub itright under the collars of the gentlemen who prefer MeComas' welfare tothat of the town and county as theseare interested in our school, pupils andteachers.

Especially is it going to set itself tothe task of not permitting the Porter’sCorner Star to wriggle out of responsi-bility for consequences it sought if ithad no force in achieving them.

Herat ie Work.Had many republicans done for State

Normal No. 2 what they did for Deneenand Ash, the public, rather than mereindividual welfare, would have beenpromoted.

As it is, Deneen only profits, and it isgoiug to keep Keuneweg ami Ash prettybusy out-voting three republicans whenthe 90-ceut tax rate comes “before thehouse.”

A Two-fold Victory.The Lonaconiiig Urrieir makes a

specialty of the statement —

Drum and Willison, democrats, are de-feated.

One a labor, the other a schoolchampion !

TOWN AND VICINITY.•

Coining Events.A Thanksgiving supper and entertain-

ment will l>e held at tin* Congregatioi.alchurch, Bowery street, Thursday even-ing, 26th iust. Thesupper will begin at5 o’clock, the entertainment at 8 p. m.

The leading vocalist of “The John I).Beall Concert Company, of Rochester,N. Y.,” is a Welshman, and as all tin*Welsh are singers in the 33d degree,this gentleman is reckoned yet one al-most impossible degree higher. Hisassociates are also fine vocalists; at leastthe entire party is highly praised inmany quarters where music, as in Frost-burg, is an elite accomplish ment. Thiscompany will appear in concert in theFrosthurg Opera House next Wednes-day evening, 11th inst., under theauspices of the Welsh Baptist congrega-tion, with the praiseworthy object ofhelping to pay off a veuatious balanceof debt remaining on the church projier-ty.

A Valid Protest.Fhostwh ■, Mn„ Novcmiicr •*> inn.'b

To tin* Mimno Joikn \i.I trust you will allow me space in

your valuable paper to register myprotest against a proceeding of theMayor and Council at their last meeting.

Several property-owners who live atWright's crossing appeared before ( \un-cil and asked for permission to attachto the water line which runs downWelsh Hill, and the permit was grantedby a vote of (> to 1, tin* Mayor cum-mendably casting his vote against it.

The legislative Act under which theprovision of a water supply was author-ized distinctly reads that “tin inhabitantsof Frostburg" only should be suppliedwith water, and in running those linesoutside of the corporate limits Counriiis infringing upon the lights of the tax-payers ami also breaking the law laiddown as stated.

Then if this sort of thing continueswhere are we going to stop? If otherpeople building outside of the townlimits continue to make these requestsand they are granted according to theprecedent established, we will soon i esupplying Borden Shaft with water.

Lastly, these outsidepoints being toweithan town, when water gets scarcethe property-owners in town will haveto go short and the outside non-ownersget the supply.

As a property-owner and tax payer 1protest against this action of the Coun-cil, as I think the town should he wellsupplied, with a surplus in the reservoir,before any outside connections are made.
