Heck, living near Pilot Town {

Heck, living near Pilot Town came
home one evening last week and found her
astle razed to the ground. This lady seems
unfortunate. Some time ago her house was
burned dove and the night before she was
to move into another it was torn down, and
now again she is left to the mercy of the ele-
ments by the work ofsome ruthless maraud-
er.--The Pilot Town S. S. celebrated
their fourth anniversary on last Sabbath, by
parade and made very bright appearance
MS they marched to the music of the child
ren's happy voices--Capt. Snow Post, ac-
companied by choir of singers from Pilot
friends held memorial services at Boyd's,
Zion, Penn Hill, Britain, Rock Springs and
Bethesda grave yards. At the latter place
the Pastor Rev. Robt. Smith, delivered an
eloquent and forcible address. The very
impressive and beautiful memorial service
was conducted by Capts. Thomas Gregg, j.
T. Cummings. James Kidd, Comrades Ma
poleon Lee and others. Rev. Hiram Nc
Vey of Fulton chapel performing the duties
of chaplain. The floral offering were pro-
fuse and beautiful. Miss Sallie Reed who
performed the gracefuldu of receiving and
arranging the floral tributes was at times al
most surrounded by the fragrant pyramids
and wreaths of Gods Forget me nots
"Sleep comrades Sieep," and "Cover Them
Over wi tn Beautiful Flowers" was sung
with affecting tenderness by the Pilot Town
S. S. children, and the day will long be re-
membered by all who were present.---
Mr.. Editor, we passed on Wednesday of
last week very pleasant evening in your
neighborhood. Mr.. Charles Davis prcpriet-
or of Stone Run Foundry, kindly invited
US to remain with him until morning, and
we being long way from home gratefully
accepted. After bountiful repast prepared
by our amiable hostess Mrs. Dayis we ad-
journed to the parlor and enjoyed feast of
different nature, music. Prof. C0llum Of
Baltimore gave us choice instrumental Sc
lections on the organ, followed by beautiful
vocal gems by Miss Annie and Alice Davis
and Miss Rosie and Jennette Reynolds, as
sisted by Mr.. Davis and j. F. Armstrong.
We hope to visit Mr.. Davis again.

"Perfect Milk Pail" The milk is drawn
into the funnel from the COW, and con.
Meeting the spout of the funnel with
the spout to the pail is a heavy rubber
tube about six inches in length. In the
lower end of this rubber tube is placed
a tin tube with fine wire strainer on
one end. This little strainer tube is put
in and taken out of the rubber tube at
pleasure. The milk as it enters the
pail is strained through the tube pre-
venting all dirt from getting into the
milk pail to contaminate its contents
The pail is fitted with a strong tin lid
which serves as convenient seat for

John Kelly Dead.

John Kelly, the famous Tammany
Democrat chief, died at New York on
Tuesday, June lst. Kelly was of
Irish parontage, horn in New York
city in 1921 or %. lie was one of a
large family of children. The boy
lost his father when he was s years
old. He applied to Bennett of the
Herald for position Of Office boy !;
from that he went to trade, and set
up in business for himself at the age
of 21. He was Hercules in strength, i,
and showed great fighting qualities.
On one occasion he struck man a
blow with his fist which came very
near ending his life. After this he
declared he would never again strike
a man in anger. John Kelly gradually
but steadily worked his way up the
political ladder, being elected as al
derman first. In the heat Of Know
Nothingism hewas elected toCongress.
and at the time was the only Catholic
in that body. His speech gave great
satisfaction to the Catholics, and was
read and circulated throughout the
country. 1t was printed on satin and
is still preserved in many households.
Henry Winter Davis was then in
Congress as leading Know Nothing,
and he and others handled Kelley in
the debate without gloves, but he
stoutly maintained his part, and re-
ceived the approval Of Catholic and
adopted citizens every where.
After a second term in Congress
he visited Europe, and on his return,
he succeeded to the Chiefship of
Tammany after the downfall of Tweed.
He is credited with saving the city of
New York $l2.00O,0OO during his
term as Comptroller. His wealth is
estimated at 81, 100000.

. The Indian Doctor.

The chariot drawn by four plumed
dapp'e gray horses, of Professor H.
P. Lorman. paid the Sun q flying Wis.,
it on Tuesday. The turnout came
dashing into town with flourish of
trumpcts and chime of sleigh bells.
The four musicians were in the char
lot but the prof" was absent.
They scattered circulars in the street
as they dashed along. which gave
accounts of the wonderful cures which
the "doctor" performs.
Years ago Henry used to be in
and out of the IVhig office at Elkton
and was fair representative of
bright, street arab. Finally he was
given a case and he learned to set
type. Afterward when he drifted fur
ther ont into the world we heard oc-
casionally of his making out door
temperance lectures. Henry was apt
and bright, with large natural en-
dowment of cheek, and he was not
long in discovering the world is full
of fools, which are profitable crop
to cultivate if one can manage to get
the hang Of it. Henry 1t appears soon
got the hang" and was not slow in
discovering that the Indian Doctor
dodge is one of the very best that
can be played while it is among the
most easy and simple. From all ap-
pearance Henry has managed to make
good thing of it. He is the
proper make up for playing such
role successfully.
Henry has made some slight change
in his name. as great men are wont
to do. Lowman is his inherited name
but by changing Nv" to ''r'' and cul-
tivating suit Of long hair he has
earned Professor ship. Many
cleyer change has been wrought by
just such little, simple alterations.

Sac of Valuable Real Estate.

L. NJ. Haines and w. S. Evans
trustees, sold at public sale on Sat.
urday last at the Maryland House in
Rising Sun, the farm IN the 9Th dist.
riot of which William Preston died
seized, also a tract containg 70 acres
near Rock Springs. The latter tract
was divided into five parcels and
sold to different bidders.
W. Grason of Rising Sun, Joseph
Cutler, Kennard Riley, Benjamin
Garvin and Amos Moore, being
the purchasers. The amount for the
whole tract of 79 acres, was $5SO.9O.
The tract is assessed at $l1s5, more
than double what it sold for.
The home farm containing 220
acres was offered in two separate
parcels but no bids being offered for
itin that shape it was put up as a
whole and sold fo- $4,000 per acre.
This farm is assessed at $500 per
acre.
Esther r. Preston, one of the heirs
was purchaser.
BY comparing the price for which
these lands sold with their assessed
value. some idea of the unconciosn.
able rate real estate is taxed, NAV be
formed. If farmers understood their
own interests as we'll as persons en-.
gagged in other pursuits, they would
never submit to have such rates of
assessment piled on their property.
Real estate should be assessed at
least 33 percent lower than it is, for
every inch of it comes under the tax
gatherer's notice, when we dare say
not more, if so much as half the per.
sonal property is assessed. A low
assessment and higher percentage
of taxation would distribute the burd-
ems of tax much more evenly and
justly. A low valuation on real es-
tate would in measure, exempt a |
part of it which would serve to off
set the large portion of property that
escapes taxation.

murder of Billy the Joker. He al
leges that George Mannon a young
white man did the killing by knock
ing Billy on the head with an old
mason hammer. which he had con.

Substitute for Horse Hair.

For stuffing purposes pine shavings are now largely used, there being at Pesth, in Hungary, an extensive factory devoted exclusively to the production of such shavings, and these, by the aid of machinery, are reduced to such de. gree of fneness that the product closely resembles tow. Shavings of this kind are superior, It is asserted, to every other substitute for horse hair in connection with upholstering pur- poses, alike as regards elasticity, softness and durability; for bedding they are recommended on account of the resin contained in the wood being an effectual preventive of vermin, the utility. of the material in this line, es- pecially for hospital and barrack pur- poses, have been satisfactorily tested by the German Government. After hay ing been used as stuffing for some five or six years, the shavings can be ren- ovated by being exposed to the heat of the sun or heightened temperature N r Sun.

A CELEBRATED CITY.
Some of the Sights of Venice, the Queen
 of the Adriatic.

Some of the Sights of Venice, the Queen
 of the Adriatic.
 This place is different from every oth- CT, and creates quite a new sensation. 1 had hitherto been accustomed to cars and busses, but here there is water everywhere. The highways are canals, and you glide along in gondolas instead of riding over macadamized roads. This is an ancient and celebrated city, con- taining many beautiful buildings and some rare art treasures.
 St. Marks, which was begun in 800 and finished in 1071, is remarkable building, as will be seen from this sim pie fact that it has, in and out. 800 col umns and 42,000 feet of mosaic pictures of the most exquisite character. There is no paint anywhere; nothing but mar ble and mosaic. The latter, it is said, was 900 years in being finished. Each generation added its contribution to the work, and the result certainly is most striking. The grand altar is SUD- ported by alabaster columns, said to be brought from the Temple of Solomon. These columns are remarkable for their purity. There are many others brought from the mosques of Constantinople. The facade is Venetian Gothic, sur rounded by the four celebrated horses brought from Nero's Temble, at Rome. The Grand Square is the busiest spot in all Venice. Arcades run the whole length on three sides, and are filled with fancy shops, cafes, etc. It is the fashionable promenade.
 The Doge's palace occupies nearly one, whole side of the square. It is in red and wh te marble, Venetian Gothic style, resting on thirty-six columns. 1 crossed the Rialto bridge, which con- meets Old and New Venice. At the end of the bridge, on the old side, is the square devoted to the money changers, and, appropriately enough, in the immediate neighborhood is the iron-barred house of Shylock. Among other features of interest are the Church of St. John and St. Paul, the Jesuit Cathedral, the Church of the Bare-footed Frars; the Hunchback, or Criminal Exposure, near to Shylock's house, where criminals were placed on mar ble pedestal and exposed to the jeers and scoffings of the passers-by; the Bridge of Signs, connecting the prison with the Doge's yalace, which prisoners cross for trial, and many other objects too num- erous to describe. must observe, how ever, that Venice possesses the largest oil painting in the world, the work of Lintorettl. It has eight hundred figures, and took seven years constant work to finish. In the immense profusion Df ar tistic architectural and other riches in this fair land of Italy, one gets almost dazed. The last gallery of pictures, or the last cathedral, seemed almost finer than those we saw first. But they are s,l so good, have so many beauties pecu- liarly their own, that 1 can only use the language of eulogy regarding the whole. -Venice Cor. Sacramento Bee.

A WATER -NYMPH,

sing water -nymph; not one who sports In lake or river,
 With sea-green glance and siren tones, and form of airy lightness. My nymph dwells on the earth, and sun and frInged gentian give her Gold for her hair, blue for her eyes, and much of grace and brightness. Her laugh Is music, and her voice the sweet. est that ever
 Sang simple songs with many quaint and bird-li quiver laden; And her free step, when to and from the well she trips, was never Excelled, not even In the dance, by any other maiden. And as-'tis almost every day that's sunny she Is splashing Among the mimic waves the foam ref ects- her smiling glances, And into shining bubbles breaks; with fairy rainbows flashing, And to her slender fingers clings, or round them swirls and dances Her arms would make sculptor wild when, holding them above her, She hangs upon the lines the clothes just wrung from clearest water; And I, who neer- loved city maid, confess with pride love her, My pretty earth born water nymph, my wasberwoman's daughter.

ADOPTED CHILDREN.
The True Story of a Mother, Cat an
 Three Little Squirrels

The True Story of a Mother, Cat and Three Little Squirrels.
 Mrs. Williams stood on the porch of her farmhouse home in Indiana one day, looking for her two boys, who had been out hunting. In a corner of the porch was big basket, in which lay an old cat, with three kittens about week old. Presently the two boys came up Will had his hat in his hand, carrying something. which proved to be three very young squirrels. They had killed the mother, and, finding the young oncs m the nest, hau TT~-eL. .l--- home, and meant to raise them for pets.
 "Tll put 'em down here, and get box for 'em," and Will, taking the little things from his cap, and placing them on the floor of the porch. At that moment, Tab jumped out of her basket, and marched up to them.
 ''Oh, the cat! She'll eat 'em upr' cried Mrs. Williams, and was stopping to rescue the squirrels, when Will stopped her. ''Let's see what she'll, do"
 What puss did do was to walk up, go around the squirrels, smell them a lit tie, and then lick and caress them, purring softly over them. She stayed moment then turned and walked away, when, hear ing one of the squirrels cry, she, turned back, watched them little, then deliberately picked one of them up, and carried it to her basket Lay: ing it down with her kittens,- she came back and carried the other two in the same way. When they were all in the nest, she cuddled herself down with them, licking and smoothing their fur as if they were her own babies.
 The boys were delighted, but Mrs. Williams was greatly alarmed, and wanted them to take the little creat, ures out, declaring that they would be eaten by morning. The boys, howev- CT. left the squirrels and kittens togeth- CT, and the next morning they were as contented as if they had always been there.
 And there they stayed, and the good old Tab brought them up with her own family. They soon got large enough to run up the trees in the yard, where they would play and frisk about, and return, when tired, to their cat-moth- CT. At last one of them ran of to the woods, and day or two later the oth7 CT ones followed. The boys tried to catch the ungrateful little beasts, but did not succeed.
 Fuss whined and mewed after them for few days, and refused to be com forted, but finding they did not return, devoted herself to the rest of her fami- ly, and seemed to conclude to mourn no longer for her foster-children.
 This incident actually occurred, just as given, near the little village of Har- monv, during the year just passed Matte Dyer Britts, in Youtb's ConapGn- toR.
