INTERESTING CEREMONY
Institution of Crystal Lodge, No,
pa, |. o. of G. Il.

Pursuant to previous arrangements,
ID. G. w. c. T. John Askey and wife, of
Baltimore, met with a number of per-
sons at Rising Sun, Md, one evening this
week and instituted Crystal Lodge, No.
244 Independent Order of Good Tenn
plars of the State of Mary land. The
lodge, as organized, consists of forty five
earnest temperance workers from the
young Miss Of fourteen to the gray
headed man of sixty, all fully deter
mined 10 save the fallen and keep others
from falling" with the prospect of many
more being added at subsequent meet
ings. There was time when Good
Templar lodges were much more numer-
Gus in this county than they are now,
which, for various reasons, were, one by
one, given up. 1t seems desirable that
the interest in them should be revived
as they are one of the best and most
effective ways of fighting the whiskey
traffic, besides instilling into the minds
of the young the true prime pies of tenn
perance, and also affording time and
place for all persons TO display and in
crease their literary tale-t, as Good
Templar lodge is incomplete until full
literary role of exercises-consisting Of
debates, essays, select reading, etc.-are
added II its order Of business. NJ. +.

DIES DESTITUTE.
An Odd Character Expires i'll
ElktOn of ApOpleXy.

When friend pushed open the door OF
the little shanty on Water street, which
had long been the home of William An
derSon, on Sunday morning last, he
found its solitary occupant stretched
motionless upon the floor with large
knife in one hand and stale loaf of
bread in the other. The inevitable
marks of death were on his face, and at
later hour investigation by the Coroner
and his jurymen, with the medical aid OF
Dir. Howard Bratton, revealed the fact
that he lad died of apoplexy and con-
gestion of a blood vessel at the base of
the head, the latter being the same that
caused the death of William II. Wander
bilt. William Anderson was a man of
about sixty-tive years of age. He came
of good family, and in the days of his
early manhood led the fashion here in
Elkton, was a great sport. but gave
promise of attaining Il reputable career.
The demon OF drink took fast hold of
him, however, and in the end came pow
erty aud dcstitution. He has long gained
a livelihood from the sale of fish and crabs
caught in the waters of Elk river, and
summer cxcurslonists will be able to re-
call seeing him and his boat along the
banks of the riJer almost every fair day
in summer, In many ways he was &C.
centric, but lived quiet and secluded
life in his little shanty. Like all of us,
he had many faults, but now is not the
time to lift the veil that hides them. He
had some good traits among the bad, was
a hearty fliend to all who knew him,
and at one time capable Of development
into something noble. His remains were
taken in charge by Mr.. r. Henry Bel,
and inferred in the old Methodist burying
ground on Wednesday morning last,
being accompanied to their last resting
place by the members of Wingate Post,
No. o, G. \. r., of North East, to which
body he belonged.

In speaking of the movement of the gen
eIal passenger agents to head off the ticket
scalpers, the New York DaHy Ldicuto,.
says: 1.-The railroads have not adopted tie
rule requiring limited tickets to be ust ii
only for continuous train rides, without
excellent reasons. The roads have no de
sire to prevent passengers from stopping
over at places along their lines Ca TIL
contrary, they have heretofore made it a.
convenient as possible for people to do Thu,
very thing. But how has the travelling
public shown its appreciation of the co,.g-
tesy" Simply by tlying, il every possible
way, to swindle the railroads whenever
they saw a chance. A man wants to go to
Buffalo-what does he do? BUYS a ticket
to Chicago, and when he gets to But1a d
sells the unused portion of his ticket to a
scalper. The railroad is doubly cheated
First, it carries the original SWindl"r 10
Buffalo for less than it takes a passenger
who is too honest to indulge in the luNui '
of cheating the railroad; and, second ii car
ries another man from Buffalo to Chicago
at less than the regular rate. The posted
traveller who cannot arrange to buy more
| tickets than he intends to use, never think
| of going 20 the railroad office for the tickets

| tho travelling pubic. The everyday Traveller
at all times has his eyes open to the Chauc,
to beat the public. And SO widely has the
influence spread that even Stad, honest-gu-
ing people, who travel only occasionally,
have come to think it quite the thing II
deal entirely with scalpers, and assist in
whatever swindle may he necessary TO ell, e.
a saving for themselves of few dollars.
