The farmer will be the one primarily benefited, as it will be almost impossible for him to raise too much of anything ; for what he can- not dispose of in the markets as food products he can utilize in turning into alcohol, which will be in great demand for power uses and illumination. Al- cohol is an ideal medium for power up to seventy-five horse, being greatly in excess in its heat units to gasolene. It is also much safer, thus reducing in- surance rates. As an illuminator it will become a rival to kerosene and gas, it being burned without a wick, and with s mantel a most brilliant il- lumination is obtained. The farmer can secure with but little outlay enough alcohol fuel to run his various harvesting machines, without being dependent upon a merciless and giasp- ing trust. ret THE calamity which destroyed San Francisco has shown the worid one thing which cannot fail to be univer- sally admitted, and that is that the American character is capable of sur- mounting every obstacle, no matter how monumental; and especially is this true of our Western brothers, who in the face of the most terrible calam- ity immediately set about to rebuild their homes and industries,and rapidly assumed that independence which was theirs before the elements fell upon them. But while Californians deserve the highest of encomiums for their praiseworthy efforts to rehabilitate their fortunes, history tells a like tale of Boston, Chicago, Johnstown, Galves- ton and Baltimore. We as a people, are absolutely irrepressible, as the world freely admits. Optimism, while not a part of the curriculum of our schools, is nevertheless a dominant trait in our character, and it takes more than earthquake, fire and sword to make us discouraged and afraid. i t—y Tue great inventions of the past quarter of a century are accepted by the rising generation as nothing ex- traordinarily marvelous, but to the man of fifty or more years they will ever be this. The prophetic dreams of Jules Verne have in many instances become realities. The trolley car,the horseless carriage, the telephone, the phonograph, the dirigible balloon, and many other wonderful things are with us, to confound the scientific theories of the former century, and to cause the present day savant to re-create new elementals and establish new hypotheses. It is not unreasonable to assume that our children will witness the day when travel in the air above us will be as common as now on land or sea, and other secrets of nature will be unlocked of which the brightest among us have not the slightest dream. If the near future unfolds an equal amount of discoveries as the present day (and why should it not?) then, in- deed, mankind will approach a state of existence now regarded as only enjoyed by supernatural beings. OLD PAPERS for sale at THE STAR office. They are just the thing for pantry shelves, wrapping paper and cartridge paper for the miners. Five cents buys a large roll of them. tf Wir this issue THE STAR completes its 12th volume, and it affords us pleasure to say that the past year has been far the most prosperous the paper has yet enjoyed. The prospects for volume XIII are brighter than they were at the beginning of any of the preceding volumes, and to all who have contributed to the paper’s pros- perity we return our most sincere thanks. It is our aim to improve the paper as the years go by, and while we may at times make mistakes, just as all other people do, we shall nevertheless continue to serve the interests of the community, and especially the interests of the paper and its friends, to the best of our knowledge and ability. We ask the hearty co-operation of all good and intelligent people in working for the upbuilding of our town and the devel- opment of the resources of this com- munity, and let us all strive hard to improve our educational and moral status as well. AvrserT B. Lowry, who was recently appointed postmaster of this place, owing to Postmaster Livengood’s vol- untary resignation, received his com- mission last Monday. He will take charge of the office next Monday. The office, at least for the next few months, will remain where it is, and is likely to continue to remain where it is, as the location is a very central one. Besides, there is little danger to the office in its present location in case of fire, and as a family resides in the same building, the danger of burglary is also reduced to the minimum. We bespeak for Mr. Lowry, courteous and just treatment from the patrons of the office, and feel sure that he will give the same in re- turn. People should not expect the the new postmaster to do unreasonable things for. them, such as affixing the stamps to their letters, supplying them with mail when there is none at the office for them, do a credit business in renting boxes and selling stamps, and other absurd and unreasonable things that we could mention. “Uncle Sam” does not pay postmasters for af- fixing other people’s stamps, writing their letters, etc., and neither does he require it, but every postoffice has some patrons who expect such things, and seem to think it the postmaster’s duty to do their bidding in such mat- ters. WILL NOT FIGHT TROLLEY. B. & 0. Officials Confer With Local Trolley People—Conference Very Satisfactory—B. & 0. Favors the Trolley Line and Officers Make Generous Proposition. Mr. Robert Finney, general superin- tendent of the Pittsburg division of the B. & O. railroad, came up the Salisbury branch in his private car, last Friday, accompanied by other B. & O. repre- sentatives, to confer with representa- tives of the P. & M. Street Railway Co., relative to adjusting matters in regard to the places where the trolley line is to cross the railroad. We are pleased to note that Superin- tendent Finney spoke very favorably and encouragingly of the electric road. He admitted that the people of Salisbury and vicinity are badly in need of passenger service, but added that the B. & O. is not bidding for any passenger traffic whatever along the Salisbury branch. He said further that his company is not opposed to the building of the electric road, adding that trolley lines invariably help the steam railroads instead of hurting them, by making it more convenient for people to get to their trains, thus increasing travel and traffic all around. The only point at issue is this: The B. & O. people think the trolley people have selected dangerous places to cross their tracks, as each crossing is near a curve of the B. & O., and is intended to be a grade crossing. Supt. Finney thinks less dangerous crossing places should be chosen, and generously offers to let the trolley peo- ple use portions of the B. & O.s right- of-way in order to get safer crossings, if possible. He said further that ali the B. & O. wants is an understanding that will be mutually satisfactory, and then all obstructions will be removed. The indications now are that the few remaining obstacles in the way of the trolley line will speedily be removed, the wind-jammers, wildcatters and dead broke promoters of the old M. & S. company to the contrary notwith- standing.

That section of Garrett county, Md., known as “The Glades,” isa panorama of great beauty; an aggregation of landscapes that the eye never gets tired of ; a picture of nature that fills the soul with poetry and praise. Mesheck Browning, the great hunter who flourished several generations ago, described “The Glades” as a veritable land of milk and honey, and that it was at least a hunters’ and trout fishers’ paradise in those early days, is a well known fact, Much has been said and written concerning the great patural beauty of “The Glades,” but no writer, bard or orator has ever contributed a more beautiful or fitting tribute te that section of country than the fol- lowing, which was written by the Bentztown Bard for the Baltimore Sun: : Aye, the Highlands for their heather, Killarney for its braes— For me the glades of Garrett when the golden buckwheat sways, When songbirds fill the forests and the sheep upon the hills Go with little bells that tinkle to the tinkling of the rills; The golden glades of Garrett where the hours are veiled in gleam And the footsteps of the spirit walk in cloisters of the dream. I have climbed the lovely summits, T have seen the blue mist lay In the ‘green lap of the mountains through the golden summer day ; I have seen it lift and lighten, I have seen it float and swing, Like a veil that moves to dancing of the lithe, frail form of spring; I have gazed down, wild with wonder, o’er the green glades at my feet— Oh, the golden glades of Garrett with the sheep bells tinkling sweet! Buckwheat pastures, where the pirates of the blue, bee-litten main Seek the cargoes of the blossoms in the sunny pollen rain; Lordly plateaus, vast expanses, moun- tains grandly, greenly fair, And the tonic and the balsam of the fragrant forest air— Yes, the golden glades of Garrett are the Highlands counterpart, Only sweeter, only bluer in the warm love of our hearts! Lowing cattle, fairy meadows, flashing cascades, lost and found In the shadow and the silence, in the tinkle and the souud; White clouds stooping to the hilltops, pine-clad peaks above the snow; All the rapture, all the wonder, all the charm of it I know— Know these golden glades of Garrett, where bright shuttles, ray by ray, Weave the web of wonder-beauty where the green glades stretch away! Aye, the Highlands for their heather, Killarney for its braes— For me the glades of Garrett where the golden buckwheat sways; Where the rovers in the clover on their honeyed wings go by And you step right off the verges of the green hills to the sky, The golden glades of Garrett—in my heart of hearts they gleam, And I hear the sheep bells tinkling to the tinkling of the stream! PRESCRIPTION FOR HEADACHES. When you have headache or other nerve pain try Ake-In-The-Head tab- lets and you can have your 10 cents back if your headache or neuralgia is not relieved in 15 minutes. No matter what the cause is, one tablet gives re- lief. E. H. Miller. 2-1 How to Live Cheaply. Substitute comfort for show. Put convenience in the place of fashion. Study simplicity. Refuse to be beguil- ed into a style of living above what is required by your position in society and is justified by your resources. Set a fashion of simplicity, neatness, pru- dence and inexpensiveness which others will be glad to follow and thank you for introducing. Teach yourself to do without a thousand and one pretty and showy things which wealthy people purchase, and pride yourself on being just as happy without them as your rich neighbors are with them. Put so much dignity, sincerity, kindness virtue and love into your simple and inexpensive home that its members will never miss the costly “flipperies” and showy adornments of fashion, and be happier in the cozy and comfortable apartments than most of the wealthy are in their splendid apartments.
