System and Order.

If there is an occupation onearth in
which order and thoroughness is of
Importance it is that OF farming. Or
der should be made the first and chief
law Of the farm. Order everywhere
and in all things-in the house, in the
stable, in the fields, in times OF labor
and in times of relaxation If this be
insisted upon as the memorable rule
the farmer will save himself and his
| much fruitless toll and more vexation
OF spirit: To be orderly it is necessary
that he be thorough in all that he I'M
dertakes. What is done once thor
oughly will last longer and prove more
serviceable and satisfactory than what
is done a dozen times bungingly. The
farmer should be provided with the
best of everything. If he is unable to
obtain al! that he needs let the quail
ity OF what he does purchase be OF the
best. It pays in the long run. Yet
with all these desirable adjuncts to a
good farm, the farm will not be a
thrifty, successful one unless his wife
be fully in accord and sympathy with
this spirit of intelligent farming
and discharge the duties of her de-
partment with care, order and fdel-
itv

two-thirds full OF boiling water. Let
it keep hot, but not boil. Add as
much alum as can be made to
dissolve. Remove from the stove.
Lie the grasses in punches with stems
straight, as many as will go in the

The. jury say that.Ramsey county enjoys
the melancholy distinction OF being the
only county in the state, SO far as tho
grand jury know, where such a scheme of
plumber as that above described has sue
ceeded. The trouble is not SO much in the
law, detective as it is, as in it's administra-
ton. With a county auditor capable and
courageous, as we'll as honest, property
rights would be sale in spite of clumsily
administered statutes and confusing judi
cial decisions.

A sad accident befell Mr.. Jacob Brown, of
this place, few days ago. he was formerly
an employee of Frick x Co., but during the
depression of trade he was suspended with
number of others, and he sought new field OF
labor. He was boiler maker by trade and
got Job at his trade in Phenixville, Pa,
where he went on Saturday, January 10th,
and which was the scene of his death. de
with number of other men was hauling boiler
iron from one building to another on truck,
and in going up a steep grade one sheet OF
iron fell off upon Mr.. Brown and crushed him
to the ground, but when he was relieved he
was still conscious. He was bleeding at the
nose, ears and mouth. His face was dread
fully mutilated, and his brain was injured,
and two ribs were broken and driven into his
stomach. Medical aid was summoned. but of
no avail He was given medicine to ease his
pain and he went to sleep and never awoke.
The sad news reached his family on last Sat-
urday morning, Just one week after he had
left his home, and his remains arrived in the
evening of the same day. He leaves a wife
and seven children to mourn his death, the
Oldest of which is not yet sixteen years of age.
We are now in hopes that the backbone of
the trade depression is broken and fair pros
poets of another boom in business. Frick &
Co. have increased their time, and will soon
increase their force of hands, and the Geiser
Co. is following suit. We hope ere long that
Waynesboro will resume her former activity
of a few years ago, and be one of the leading
towns in the country in the way ofmanufactur-
ing Though it has felt the hard times more
than most of towns, we are in hopes she will
feel the coming boom accordingly.

Just send us word. You can get one from
here in less than "a hours notice.

stuart Rogers Entertainment.


The audience which greeted the appearance
of Stuart Rogers on Tuesday night, at Odd
Fellows Hall, was large, intelligent, appre-
ciative, and, long before the programme was
finished, fairly enthusiastic also. The only
adverse criticism we have heard passed upon
the performance was that it was too short.
And in truth such are the qualifications,
natural and acquired, of Mr.. Rogers, for his
difficult profession; his presence is SO fine, his
voice so rich and flexible, his command over
his features so sure and so rapid, his transit
tons from one character to another so mag
ically quick, his mastery over the Tragical, as
in Hamlet. the Pathetic, as in the Newsboy
and the Humorous, as in the visit to the Cen
tennial, so rare that it would be very long
programme indeed which would not leave his
admiring auditors hungry, like Oliver Twist,
for "more." The performance concluded
with a personation of Oscar Wilde as he
looked, dressed and spoke while delivering
his famous aesthetic lecture to an American
audience. In costume, manner, information
and appearance this imitation was simply per-
feet. If Mr.. Rogers ever visits Westminster
we can safely promise him larger audience
even than that which witnessed his first ap-
pearance among US.
The committee, under whose auspices MIR.
Rogers appeared, will next week present the
Rock Band Concert Company, of London,
England.

Messrs. Editors In the issue of the AD-
vocATE of the End inst. the following mathe-
NAUTICAL problem was inserted BY J.. d.:
"a certain gentleman at the time OF his
fate. it, at the time of his death, he left only
a daughter; and if he left only sou, she
should have ] of his property. But, as it
happened, he left son and daughter, in CON
sequence of which the widow received in
equity 81, 400 less than she would have re-
ceiyed if there had been only a daughter
What would have been his wife's dowry if he
had left only son?"
In solving this example particular attention
must be paid to the use of the word Equity,
which means justice; impartiality. Taking
these as the correct meaning OF the word, we
can say that the widow received an equal di-
vision of the estate; or namely, ] of the estate
Now, if this reasoning is correct, the OF the
estate will equal the 81, 400 in equity, and the
whole estate will equal 81 200. Or, otherwise,
allowing the estate to equal 81 200, and the
gentleman had only left daughter, the wife s
portion would have been ] of this, which
equals S4, 800; or, if he had left only son,
the wife's portion would have been of the
estate, which equals $4,000. Again, there
being son and daughter, she received the
difference between / of the estate, which
equals $500. and !, which equals %, 400,
S4, $685., 40O=S2, 400. 81, 400Zwife's dow

In the ADVOCATE of the 10th instant your

by what process she obtained this answer.
Now also make the same request of Miss
Warner, and wish she would please inform
me how she obtained the answer of 81, 100,
by inserting her solution to the problem in
the next issue of the ADVOCATE. G. L. s.

Shooting matches have become popular In
our neighborhood Every week there is one,
and sometimes two. Our Piney Creek boys
begin to think they are marksmen. Last Sat
urday David Hahn had shooting match for
turkeys and geese. Three marksmen, with
their fifty dollar guns, came from Silver Run.
Soon word went through the crowd that they
had come to clean up the Piney Creek boys.
At it they went. John Bowers, Upton Har
ner and Wm Knox, with their single barrel
ch-loading guns bagged all the turkeys
and geese Edward Forney with James Knox

Germany, rolled up the principal part OF the
stakes. So the Silver Run marksmen went
home minus the big game. Come again, gen
tlemen.

New windsor LIENS.

On Tuesday last the midday sun broke
through the clouds and shone brightly on two
widely contrasted scenes-one of sorrow and
one of gladness-on the end and the begin
ming of life.
At 2 o'clock Mrs. Richard Smith, formerly
of this place, was buried from the Methodist
Church, and at four the wedding bells chimed
merrily in celebration of the nuptials of Mr..
F. j. Devilbiss and Miss Jennie Bixler.
Long before the hour fixed for the ceremony
the expectant crowd thronged the streets and
pressed their way into the beautifully decora-
ted church. The old Presbyterian Church
was never before so handsomely decorated.
The blinds were carefully drawn and the room
was brilliantly lighted by chandeliers, hung
with foliage plants. The pulpit was hidden
by a mass of flowers, and on an archway of
evergreens were worked the initials of the
contracting parties. The audience was en-
tertained during the long wait by several
choice selections on the organ by Miss Louisa
Kleefisch, accompanied by Prot. Louis Diel-
man on the clarinet. Promptly at four the
musicians struck up the wedding march from
Lohengren, and the bridal party entered the
church. Mr. Jos. E. Englar and Mr.. Gran
vile Bixler led the way, followed by Mr.
David Englar, Mr.. Jos. L. Englar, Miss May
Nicodemus, Miss Ida Devilbiss, and the bride
and groom elect. The ceremony was per-
formed in a beautiful and impressive manner
by Rev. H. W. Kuhns, d. D., assisted by
Rev. DIR. Jelly, of New Windsor College.
The bride wore beautiful embossed white
velvet and albatross cloth en- train, with heart.
shaped corsage and the conventional veil and
orange blossoms. The bride was simply
beautiful, and the groom, in q handsome suit
of black, looked radiant and happy. Miss
Nicodemus wore suit of white brocaded
satin and cloth, and Miss Devilbiss one of
white albatross cloth trimmed with Oriental
lace A large company of friends and rela-
tives accompanied the happy couple to the
depot. They will make an extended tour
through the South.
Our gossips and busybodies have now a
subject for conversation, and will probably
