The oil honse and shop of the B, & O.. at Rockwood, was consumed by fire last week. Loss, about $2,000.

George Coleman, son of Jackson Cole- man, who used to reside here, ig said to “have won $200 by running a foot race, in ‘Cumberland, last Saturday. “The road to fortune is through print: ers ink,” says P.

Miss Clara Gnagey, of Accident, Md., visited relatives in Salisbury several days during the past week. Miss Gnagey just returned from Huntingdon, where she took a tourse in music. She is one of Garrett county’s brightest. young ladies; General Passenger Agent Scull, of the B. & O., hins sent a pass to Levi Lichliter that will take Bennie Wagner and a nurse to: New York and return.’ Mr. Scall writes that it affords him pleasure to grant the said pass, and our people feel very thankful for the favor. The annual reunion of the Western Combined Reunion Association of the Golden Eagle. which had been fixed for September 8, has been postponed until October 21, when the Eagles of the west- ern part of the siate will meet at Con- nellsville and properly celebrate Colum- bian day. The Meyersdale Commercial had it, some time ago, that the candidacy of Hicks was only a joke. What do you say now, Bro. Smith? With all due re- spect to Mr. Scull, there is no use in get- ting the idea into your head that he is the only fit man in the district to represent us in Congress. Hicks will do just as well and perhaps better. Will our town observe Columbian day? Almost every town is making prepara- tions for a demonstration’ of some kind on that occasion, the’ schools taking charge of the exercises in most cases. What's the mattes with our schools get- ting op something? It is high time to be about it, if anything is to be done. ‘Morris Wagner was over at Somerset this week. acting in the capacity of a juryman. He says the only newspaper he saw read in the court room was THE SomersET COUNTY STAR. The fact is, THE STAR is read by about everybody, There is only about one paper in the county that exceeds it in circulation. . ° Ephraim Keim, of Kansas, who came east during the G. A. R. encampment, has been seriously ill for the past week or more, at the residence of Patrick Mim- ma, in Meyersdale. However, he is rap- idly improving at present and will be brought to the residence of David Lichty, his brother-in-law, as soon as his health will permit. The great double wedding came off as per announcement, yesterday evening, and was trulya well arranged affair. Everything passed off nicely. but we can not give you a full account until next week. In the meantime, we extend our most hearty congratulations to the newly wedded folks and wish them a very pros- perous and happy life. Among other things that last Friday's New York World contained concerning the G. A. R. encampment at Washing: ton, was a picture of a portion of the fa- mous old 54 Pennsylvania volunteers. The picture shows the old “‘vets” carry- ing laurel canes and a banner on which is printed, ‘Frosty Sons of Thunder, from Somerset county, Pennsylvania.” Why can’t Salisbury have a lodge of the Knights of the Golden Eagle? The more secret societies you can get into a town the more the town will prosper. Becret societies do not plot devilment as some poor, deluded, superstitious people believe. The only plotting they do is in the best interests of humanity and to make men better and their homes happi- gr. ] We had the pleasure the other day of A miooting W. W.

Flesher has returned from Eas | ton, Pa., wlere he had been attending the State council of the Jr. O. U. A. M., rep- resenting Elk Lick council, No. 400. He says it was the most patriotic gathering he ever attended and that the meeting was a very enthusiastic one. © While he was there the following resolution was passed by the council in behalf of the old veterans who were assembled at Wash- ington: “The 900 delegates of the Junior Order} of United American Mechanics, in State council assembled, at Easton, Pa., rep- resenting 80.000 patriotic citizens of the order in Pennsylvania, send greeting to the Grand Army of the Republic, repre- senting our conntry’s honored defenders.” Reports were read showing an increase in the membership of the order of over 14,000 during the year. There are now 80,000 members in the state. Thisshows that the Jr. O. U. A.M. is getting to be a. powerful organization, and there is no order on earth that ig founded on grand- er prineiples. “Virtue, Liberty and Pa- triotism” is a good foundation on which to build, and every patriotic American citizen shon'd seek to become a member of this order.

Some people will have foreign goods any- way, no matter .what they cost, even when ‘a better domestic article can be had for less nioney, swell who orders his elothes of a London tailor undoubtedly pays Tariff on them. But he ought to and can afford to. Iris a tax on his Anglo. mania, and pyery cent of it goes into the United States Preasury, thus relieving more patriotic citizens from taxation for the support of Government. In the case of foreign manufactorers, like |, the tin-plate makers of Wales, or the hosiery makers of Chemnitz, Germany, who have an established trade with this’ country, the Tariff is paid by the foreign: ers. They deduct it from their selling price. For example, since the McKinley duty on tin plate, Welsh tin plate makers have reduced their prices by just abont the increase in duty. 80’ Chemnitz ho: siery, upon which the duty was increased in the McKinley law, has been selling in. this country more cheaply than it sold under the old, lower duty.” The Chem: nitz manufacturers simply lowered their prices as we raised our Tariff. That is the way foreigners have of paying it. If the foreign manufacturer is unable to make a reduction in his prices sufficient (to overcome the whole increase in Tariff, tlie importer on this side, who handles the foreign goods on commission or spec: ulation, sometimes reduces his own profits enough to make up the deficiency. Th no case does the consumer (excepting, of course, the .
