TIE TRIAL OF GUITEAu.-Thc Guiteau
trial was postponed on Monday, on account
OF the death of the wife of one of the Jurors.
Last Saturday his divorced wife, now Mrs.
Dunmlre, was~on the witness stand. She
testified That she never believed him insane
very few questions were asked her Gui
,fcau himself treated his cX-wifc with more
politencss that he has usually shown TO wit
ncsses who undertook TO prove him to be
sane. A reason is given for his course to-
wards Mrs. Dunmrc in the statement that her
husband threatened to kill Guitcau if he in
suited her at the trial Guitcau thought, per-
haps, that Dunmire might have an inspira-
ton of that kind and was not willing to take
any risk. Before their departure from Wash
ington Mr.. and Mrs Dunmirc called upon
Guiteau in Jail, and babe him good bye.
The trial was resumed on Wednesday
when several physicians were examined all
of whom believed Guiteau responsible for his
acts The prisoner was extremely abusive to
his counsel, Mr.. Scoyile whom he denounced
as an idiot, and demanded that he should
leave the case

Under this heading, Mr. Editor, late dis.
patch from Washington to the Baltimore ISua
SAYS:
Representative Robinson, of New York, has
been for several days seeking an opportunity to
introduce 81 resolution rcciting That the salute

that ii was givcn NJ O time when the English
government was trampIing on the last vesiges

habeas corpus, supprcssing public meetings and
crowding their jails with honorable gentlemen
unaccused of crime. some of them American
citizens and others the chosen and hOnOred rep
resentatives in Parliament of their own people
The resolution declares that Congress does not
approve Of the salute, and extends sympathy to
the patriots and members of Parliament suffer-
ing Imprisonment under unhcard-of despo.

Has not Representative Robinson made an
extract from the annals of Maryland? And
bidding for the Irish vote is he not in danger
of coming under the charge of disoyalty, con
demning as he does his own government, while
seemingly indignant against England's oppres-

was time when we in Maryland were familiar
with each several act which he dcnounces as
"unheard OF despotism.n And as certainly had
the New York representative been citizen of
this border State in 1861 and 81, and then given
open expression of resentment against tramp.

the tinkling of little bell would have been also
heard, and the now safe congressman would have
had an opportunity given him TO learn from

disadvantage TO the contestants. After shooting
at the third bird the tie was between }. y. Sulli-
van, of Hartford, and w. II. Ady, Of Baltimore
county. The tic continued until the sixth bird,
in which Ady KILLED his and Sullivan falling to
drop his bird within bounds the judges award

the time Ady's fifth bird was put in the trap ior
him. The trigger rope broke and trap failed to

to shoot, as the trap did not throw it, and he
claimed another bird, the judges sustaining him
in his claim. ENVY.

The flag of the famous old frigate Con-

States navy, was hauled down at the Brook
Ign navy yard last week, and the historic
old vessel will no longer form part of our
active navy. In 1912 the Constitution, under
the command of Commodore Hull in an en-
gagement off the mouth of the ST. Lawrence
river, captured the British frigate Guerrero.
Commodore Hull found his prize SO much
injured by the fight that he could not bring
her into port, and therefore had her burned
This victory was hailed with delight all over
the country, and was the first time in half n
century that British frigatc had struck her
flag in fair fight.

Wherever the gospel-trumpet has been
sounded and the wonderful story of the Sa.
viour's birth has been told the festival of
Christmas is celebrated with joy and glad
ness. 1t is the one day of the year which
unites all mankind, teaching the lesson of a
common interest in Him who came down
from heaven to redeem the entire human
race. BY many, unfortunately, Christmas
day is merely the occasion of excess in eat
ing and drinking, but to thousands of hearts
it comes with hallowed and soflening influ-
ences, as their minds go back to the scenes
enacted at Bethlehem nearly two thousand
years ago. The stable, where Joseph and
Mary found shelter because, on account of
their poverty, no doubt, there was no room
for them in the inn. The Manager and the
infant Sayiour-God manifest in the flesh
The kings of the East, with their typical gifts
of gold, frankinccnse and myrrh, following
u star to the stable where the young Child
lay. The shepherds on the plains, in the early
morning, wondering at the heavenly message
that Saviour was born at Bethlehem, ard
from the sky above, where a multitude of the
heavenly host chanted "Glory to God in the
highest on earth peace, good will towards
men," These are the scenes to which the
mind must revert at Christmas, with the
Babe lying in the manager as the central fig
ure. The light that guided the Magi still
sheds its radiance on the world, and the
song of the heavenly choir has echoed ever
since through the corridors of time, and will
continue to sound until its glorious music is
ost in the mightier harmonies OF heaven.
Kingdoms and empires have risen, flour
ished, dccayed, and been forgotten, but the
story of Christmas never grows old. It's les
sons appear more sweet and tender rs the
years ron by, becahse it was the beginning Of
the gospel of love and peace. Year aiteryear
the celebration of the day extends through
out the world, as the light of the first Christ
mas morn is shed upon the dark places of
the earth.
lis fitting, therefore, that Christmas should
be a day of general rejoicing; day Of recon-
Citation and peace; a day for the bestowal of
gifts to friends mblematic of the Great
Gift of Gods only Son to world ruined by
the sin of our first parents.
1t is especially day for the exercise of
charity and kindness TO the poor and hum-
bic. To all mankind was the glad tidings
brought but it was the poor and humble that
were chosen to receive ii first, and to them
before all others, does Christmas day still
bring its message of peace and love. The
sacrifices we make for Gods poor are the gifts
we may bring TO the Saviour and the humble
spirit with which we listen to the heavenly
message is the alteration we all may offer to
the Babe of Bethlehem. 1t is n message of
peace and good will, of love and sacrifice;
and as we listen to it and heed it, and our
hearts respond to the angels song so shall
the day be to each of us MERRY CHRIST
MAS!

IN MEMORY OF CLARA DAY.
ny HER soHooLMATE, ALICE GLACKrS


All she was meek and she was mild,
A true, obedient, faithful child;
She was loved abroad adored at home,
Welcomed whereer she CHANGED to roam.
She was light of heart. and glad and gay;
But now, alas! she is far away.
Oh! Clara, we miss you, and well miss you
still more,
When spring-time is come and grim winter is
DER.
We would like to have you with us,
If that it could be so
But we know that when He speaks the word,
We must all quickly go.
No matter how much pleasure
We may have here below;
We know that it's our lot,
And that soon we all must go.
Oh you were young and fair,
Light-hearted, glad and gay,
But twas better you should go,
Than on earth with us to stay.
We will miss you in the school room,
And Wen miss You when at play,
And well often, often think of you,
Though you are far away.
You were so young, so very young
To be called from us away,
But twas the Lords will. He commanded;
When he speaks, we must obey.

who Keeps the Dublin Hotel, died with this
fever on Thursday morning of last week.

ing very low with the same disease, Mrs.
Chenworth's death is very sad, as she was quite
young and much beloved by all who knew her.

Owing TO tho severity of the veal her last WIN
ter, game of all kinds is very scarce in this To-
cality Partridges are almost extinct, but the
hunters do not hesitate to shoot the few that re-
main wherever found. Rabbits are also scarce
and the trappers and gunners are hunting them
to the last ditch. Perhaps five times as many
are trapped as shot, thus losing even the sport
of the baying hounds. Fortunately the law
will soon protect the few that may be left.
The lyceum at Susquehanna Hall is now in
full and successful operation, and it bids fair to
be of much value to the rising generation in
that vicinity. The people who erected the Hall
deserve great deal of credit, and if as much en-
ergy was displayed in all parts of the county it
would be great adjunct TO the public schools
in training the youth of the county for the pnr-
suits of after life.
