DENTITIoN.-The dangerous period with chill
dren is during teething from six to thirty months.
Infamed gums are apt to produce fever, or indi-
gestion, disordered stomach or commissions. A
little fore-knowledge at such times has saved
many child's life. In case of commissions, the
face and head should be promptly bathed with
cold water and the entire body placed in a hot
bath. At the same time with a sharp pocket
knife, lance the swollen gum. The attendant fe-
verishness and irritability should be allayed by
soothing aperient medicine. We know of moth
ing better than Castoria, we'll authenticated pre-
scription, the formula of which is widely publish
ed. Give the child plenty of air, plenty of exer-
else and plenty of water.-HaLPs Jour. of Health.

An Old Church.-A correspondent of the
Presbyterian, who spent the summer in the vicin-
ity of Mount Paran Presbyterian Church, in the
I'd district of this county, says he thinks that
church is at least two hundred years old. "With-
out difficulty" he says, the history of this church
is traced back to the year 1715. This makes the
church one hundred and seventy years old. But
this is not the age of the church, for at that early
period the congregation had been gathered and
the church edifce had been erected. 1t is likely
that people gathered ON that very spot for wor-
ship even before 1900. For nearly two hundred
years then this church has had an existence.
While Mackenzie and others were at work on the
Eastern Shore, Doughty and Hill were at work on
the Western Shore of Maryland. But whence
came the people who established this church !?
The meagre and rather obscure hints we get from
the records we have examined, point to colony
which landed at Annapolis as early as 1649. They
few years through Anne Arundel and Baltimore
counties. Their first church was at Greenberry
Point, near Annapolis, where ruins of church
and gravestones are still found. Their second
church, as they and their children moved forward
to occupy the land, was, as we think, at Mount
Paran. Their third church, as they journeyed
still further was Churchville, in Hartford county.
Mount Paran church has been renovated and now
presents beautiful appearance. The people of
this old church are to be congratulated on the in
erest that is shown in the work that is to be done
in the midst of a growing population. Old as the
church is, there seems to be greater usefulness
before it than it has had any time in the past.
The rapid growth of Baltimore seems to be affect
ing the growth of the country for miles around"

Another Meeting of the Prohibitionists.


The Baltimore county ProhibitioDists held an
other meeting in Baltimore last Saturday, DR..
Leas president, with Mr.. Geo. III. Duncan, secre-
tary. Mr. Henry Taylor, of Waverly, Baltimore
county, who is the nominee of the Prohibition
party for Comptroller of the State, wrote letter
of acceptance, which was read at this meeting.--
In it Mr. Taylor says 'that during an active busy
life of over forty two years in the city of Balti-
more have never aspired to or desired political
office of any kind it is foreign to my tastes and
habits But the word of God, which should be the
rule and guide of all true men, tells US no man
liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself,
which shows us that all have responsibilities and
duties to each other that cannot be put aside or
evaded, no matter how distasteful they may be to
the individual citizen. Recognizing this call OF
the prohibition party Zone unsought and unde-
served by me) as a call to duty which cannot be
ignored, cheerfully accept the nomination so
cordially offered by those who know me best,
willing to spend and be spent in the God given
cause of prohibition. God speed the right. 1t
matters not whether success will crown our efforts
this year, or in many years success is bound to
come, for God is behind this movement, and with
Him on our side we are in majority. We have
not raw of hope for the cause of prohibition from
either of the old parties-one tells us so directly,
the other indrectly-both are in the power of the
liquor interests. If Christians will vote as they
pray we would soon see very different state Of
affairs than we have at the present time"
1t was announced that Daniel Beckley, Of
the 9TH district, nominated for the Legislature,
would accept.
DR.. Leas urged the Importance of contributing
money for the necessary expenses the campaign,
and he and Mr.. Duncan both argued that the
prohibition party was stronger in Baltimore
county than they had any idea of, if they could
only get the matter properly before the people.
John M. Walker, chairman of tie committee to
select candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court,
in place of Mr. Gladfelter, who was previously
nominated and who could not serve on account of
intending to leave the State, reported the name
of Henry Snowden, who unanimously selected
as the candidate. Mr.. Snowden lives in the 9th
district, in the Belt, and is member of the firm
of Snowden & Cowman, dental depot and printers,
West Fayette street, Baltimore Mr.. Snowden
offered to furnish all the tickets needed in the
campaign.
1t was stated that the ticket was then filled up,
except county surveyor, and that as it was an
office of no political Importance, they would let
that position go by.

evening of last week Mr.. M. Lee Ward, nephew

ing himself through the head. Justice Dorsey
was notified and after summoning a jury proceed
ed to hold an inquest. Mr.. Capron was the first
witness. He testified that his nephew had been
off and on with him since he was four years oia'
and for the last five years has made his house MS
home. His manner was always gay and GENIAL
He suffered at times intensely from headacne
which he inherited from his mother. Of late ne
had taken large quantities of bromide for mis-
headache. Ward said several times in joking
way that he intended to kill himself. He would,
of late, frequently remain in the city all night.
He came home Friday evening, dined as usual at
O'Clock, and ate hearty meal. Before dessert
was served he left the table, saying that he was
suffering with his head, and retired to his ROOM
Mrs. Capron, his aunt, followed him to his room
and remained with him half an hour, after which
she returned to the dinner table. She made re-
mark that he might shoot himself. Hardly had
she uttered the words when crash was heard,
and the witness and Mr.. Lee rushed up the stairs
to the room of Mr.. Ward. There, lying at full
length, was Ward, with Smith q Wesson revolt
beside him, and bullet hole through his head,
which was lying in pool of blood. Mr.. Capron
ended his statement by saying that the young
man had an interest in large estate, which dies
with him. He was to have been married on DC
tober 2Sth.
The second witness called was Mrs. Capron,
who corroborated her husbands statement DR..
N. B. Norment was called, and gave the descriP-
ton of how young Ward was lying, which indi-
Gated that he stood before mirror when he shot
himself. The following note was found upon his
person:
October 7.
"My Dearest Friend I am to be married on
the 2Sth to the lady of my choice. She has just
lost her father, and the wedding will be quiet
one. Can you come to it? would dearly love
to 60 to your place on my wedding trip, but as l
cannot, you must come in time to see the boy OF
old tied up. Answer, if you cam No cards sent.
an. L. w."
Mr.. G. O'Donnell Lee corroborated Mr.. Capron's
statement. He said that young Ward at times
would walk the floor till two o'clock in the morn
ing when suffering with headache. He said: Che
was the best fellow in the world, and is the last
in the world whom would suspect of taking his
life." He said that Mr.. Ward saw the lady to
whom he was to be married the afternoon he kill
ed himself. After short deliberation the jury
rendered the following verdict: "Mahem Lee
Ward came to his death by his own hands, at
WoodIawn, the residence of his uncle, during tenn
porary alteration of the mind, superinduced by
extreme suffering" The remains were sent to
South Carolina for interment.
