The veteran was seated in the enjoyment of some refreshment. He seemed to be in a reminiscent mood with his mind in the past. A young man approached and politely asked if he might put a question. "Certainly sah." "What I desired to ask was whether you ever had the pleasure of seeing Stonewall Something approaching a frown overspread the features of the veteran, but it was only for a moment. He remembered that the inquirer was only a kid of the present generation, and he forguve him.

A klndl.v sniile chased awaj the frown and he replied, "a hundred times, ah. In lact 1 once had the nonor of passing the greater part of a most inclement night in the same room with Gen. Jackson." "That must be something ou win never forget. Will vou not tell aie the story, said the young man. "With pleasure, sah: wont yon be w-ated?" was the reply.

The yettng man took a chair, and codded to the dispenser pf good "Thank ou," said the veteran, as a preface to the story. "Perhaps' it will not detract a great deal from Oie interest of the narrative if I state that our quarters on that occasion were neither very commodious nor very elegant. In fact we occupied a hay mow." "A haymow?" "Yes, sah; and very glad were we to find it ready I assure you. You see, it was in 1862, and pushing' Gen.

A STORY OF IT'S SUCCESS Carefully Compiled, Well Printed, Beautifully Illustrated--The College When at Work--Its Organization Complete. The history of a catalogue generally can be written in four chapters: Thoughtlessly compiled, quickly printed, carelessly read, early consigned to the waste basket. The history of the annual catalogue just issued by the Tri-State Business the presses of ihe Evening Times, Is, however, vastly different from this. It has been so compiled that the prospective student finds without difficulty the information he, or she, desires, given in a clear manner: it has been printed with such care arrangement, composition pre.ss work that it is one of the most artistic pioduetions that has ever gone out of a printing office in this section of the State: it is so interestingly written that it will be carefully read and, fin-, ally, contains so much of value that it will be accorded a place with other (faluable papers and books that are preserved.

The catalogue consists of fifty-six pages, of super-calendared paper, with over fiftj half-tone illustrations, show- lag the college building, various departments, officers, directors and teachers, a number of graduates, and the most important public buildings in Cumberland. It is in die last twenty pages of the catalogue that the story is told that explains the success of this school. Here are given the letters from the many graduates of this college, who are filling important positions in various parts of the United States--all expressing their appreciation of the training they received at this college. And here are also given letters from many employers of Tri-State graduates, in various states, endorsing the school. These letters tell the tale-Tri-State Graduates succeed wherever -they go.

Several thousand catalogues were printed and are now being distributed. A representative of the Times visited the college yesterday to look into the workings ofihe institution it was found to surpass all that is said about the ocllege hi the catalogue. In the typewriting department twenty students were transcribing from their shorthand notes, upon Hemington, Smith-Premier and Underwood type-' writers, all owned by the college. In the shorthand and bookkeeping departments there were over sixty students at work. The writer arriied just as the students in the business course were being drilled itt" rapid mental calculations and was surprised at the results.

He had the following problem read rapidly. 9 times 8 plus 4 minus plus 4 minus times 3 minus plus 9. and in seven seconds the correct answer was given by a dozen or more students. He then gave six ifobleins in multiplication, two figures in. each number, and the time taken to read and get the correct answers to the six was just one minute.

In every department splendid work was being done. There is no play here, but systematic, thorough preparation for life work The rooms are all well-lighted, care- ventilated and there Is everywhere a feeling of cheerfulness and a spirit of hustle. The Tri-Stato is all and far more than it claims in its catalogue. The officers and directors of the college are: President and principal, a fo f. J.

When Mrs. Gearlock Told Two Robbers She Didn't Have Money They Tried to Hang Her Up by the Hair of the Head. Frostburg, the of the outbreak of crime Saturday night and Sunday, was the scene this of another crime and while no one was killed, the offense was most appalling. This iHorning before daylight, Mrs. William, eGarlock, who lives on East Washington street, got up to get breakfast for her husband.

While she was making a fire two men entered the kitchen, one of whom seized her by the throat and drew a large butch- erknife, at tae jbame time demanding money or be would cut her throat. The wonian told the men that she did not any money, when the otlier man struck the woman a blow, felling her to the floor. Mrs Oarlock is a large woman, and as brave as she is portly, so when he regained her feet she made an attempt at defending herself, but was again knocked down. Mr. eGarlock, wno had not yet gotten up, heard an unusual commotion down in the kitchen, and after dressing himself went down to investigate and was horrified to find his wife in an unconscious condition with her hair wrapped arouni a water spigot and her, bodj partly in the sink.

After' Mrs. eGarlock was revived she told about the two men approaching her in. the manner described above. It is presumed that they hung her by the hair of the head to joake ner reveal where the money was, but they did not succeed in securing any money: A teamster passing along about that time saw two men rush out of the bouse. At last reports from Frostburg officers were after the men, but had not captured them yet.

Mr. Geariock is a miner and as is the eastern the housewives get up and get breakfast before they arouse their husbands. The dastardly act. coming as it does on what has already transpired in that locality, has tended to increase the excitement. It is said that the entire country is flooded with tramps from one end OL the George's Creek Valley and the belief is that ft is the tramps wno are responsible for the robberies lately.

Is It An Obstruction From a Second Story? There is a question in the contention of Mr. Thumpl and Mrs. McKnight, concerning erection of a bay window that the city council ought to settle promptly. Neither of the bay windows that these property holders and taxpayers desire to erect amounts to such an obstruction ai the law provides against, and ought to be permitted to proceed with the improvements without any more vexatious delay.

In referring to the matter humorously yesterday the Times had no intention of treating the subject lightly, or in any way belittling the parties most interested. Mrs. McKnight made a most excellent impression upon every one, except a number of council, in stating her case at the meeting cm Friday night last, and so did Mr. Thumel. Both are highly esteemed and are excellent citizens and heavy tax payers, ana they asked for nothing but what they had a right to expect of the council.
