Lodge Meeting.

Oriental Lodge No. -, l. 0. o. f., oil
this town, was visited on Thursday even.
ing of this week by large delegation Oh
Odd Fellows of Wilmington, Del, forthc
purpose of taking part in the installation
of officers Of the Lodge for the present
term. Among the members were;
j.. II. Appelby, D. d. G. NJ; Joshua 2.
Blythe, Grand Warden A. G. Robinson,
Grand Treasurer; Alex. Guthrie Grand
Representative; David Downs, Grand
Secretary, pro tem.; Norwood Palmer,

Geo. w. Williams of our town is the
Grand Master of the Order for this State
After the officers had been installed
into their respective chairs and the reg
ular business was gone through, the
Lodge was entertained by speeches from
many of the Brothers present, after
which they were invited to the ice-cream
parlors of Mrs. S. A. Roach for refresh
ments. At about the turn of the night
the visitors started for their respective
homes, well pleased with their visit, and
not soon to be forgotten.

The subject of this sketch, Catharine
James, died at the home of her neice,
Mrs. Catharine Hill, who resides ON Elk
ton avenue, in this town, on Monday,
in her 93rd year.
The funeral took place on Thursday.
The remains were inferred at Sharps'
burying ground, near Fair Hill Md.
The deceased lived alone for some
years at Lewisville Chester county, Pa,
and kind neighbors ministered to her
wants. She finally desired to pass the
remainder of her life with her neice in
this town, and her wish was gratified.
About five years ago she became blind.
She was a most agreeable companion,
and was a consistent member of the
Rock Presbyterian Church. Four week
before her death she took no nourish-
ment, with the exception ofwater. The
sands of life had run their courses, the
earthly pilgrimage was done.

The sociables, conducted by the young
people of Newark, after having been tenn
porarily discontinued during the Lenten
season, were revived last Saturday eve
ming at the residence of DIR. Caldwell.
The Ecery Egening of last Thursday erro-
neously stated that parlor theatricals
would be presented. The principal a.
musement of the evening was a mock
concert by 'The Peakses, nine old maids
from Alasky." Their entertainment was
unique and very laughable, and the va
rious parts were well sustained The
audience was particularly moved by the
touching description of the Peakses'
loneliness, by the eloquent appeals to
the young men to take a Peak sister, -
by the strikingly original interludes by
the comb orchestra of three pieces, and
by the costumes, so eminently suited to
the family name, Peak.

Narrow Escape.

On Monday morning. Geo I. Smith, of
McClellandsville Del, drove to the p,
w. & b. r. r., with heifer in the
wagon, also a small boy. Arriving Mt
the depot, Mr.. Smith got out of the
wagon, leaving the boy and young calf
in the vehicle. An engine stood close by
the warehouse of Mr.. Fisher, and sud-
denly the safety valve flew up and
frightened the horse to the wagon, and
it starting Off suddenly threw the boy
and calf out The calf was tied by II
rope around the neck. Consequently
the calf was dragged some distance by
the neck, and the boy landed on the
cross-bar of the shafts. The horse went
up the depot road, but the dragging
calf was too heavy load, and not many
yards had been travelled before the
horse stopped. There was no damage
done, except the calf was choked some
little, and the boy luckily escaped.

Base Ball Last Saturday.

A match game of baseball was played
last Saturday between the Kiamensi and
the Newark clubs, on the IIomewood
grounds, ending in victory for Newark.
The game was well contested up to the
fourth inning, when the fine pitching of
E. l.. Raub, of the Academy, began to
tell strongly against the visitors. His
pitching was so effective that he struck
out sixteen of the opposing team. Hin
kle also played good game, and gave
Raub fine support. The score by innings
follows:
KIAMENsI.. 0 l 90 L
NEWARK ...............O 0 o @ 3 X-lS
NOTES.
Two base hits were all that Kiamensi
found time for.
The pitcher of the Actives says that
he is in favor of strikes,-'three strikes
striker out"
Ed. Lomax played good game at first
base. The remainder of the Actives, out
side of the battery, had little to do.
The battery of the Kiamensi club, Ian
caster and Cruthers, did excellent work
and received tolerable support. The
fine throwing to bases of Cruthers was
particularly noteworthy
The end is not yet. A return game is
to be played soon ON the grounds of the
Kiamensi club, when they expect to re.
turn the compliment.

We think the managers, of the Cecil
County Agricultural Society, are acting
in strange manner in not allowing q
competent horseman, to have the track
for training purposes, with the under
standing that he keeps the same in prop
or shape. Instead of this they want one
hundred dollars for the privilege. Yet
they will pay every year more than this
sum to workmen to get the track in con-
dition for the meetings. Such nonsense
Another mystery is that Oxford has a

result plunged the Association into debt.

Young men should be careful when
they assume the role of sportsman not to
allow themselves to be frightened from
certain localities where they go cunning
by the appearance of a young lady. His
getting away from the place so hastily
might have been occasioned from the
fact that previous to the young lady
coming upon the scene, the owner of the
lands had warned the gunner off through
the medium of colored youth. The
young lady seemed to be sorry to think
she was the means of making the sports
man depart so hastily.

Fiji islander.

A copper-colored individual arrived in
this town on Saturday last, decked in
bright colored calico. The dress of this
Fiji-as we afterward learned-was
rather unique. His coat was of a style
that beggars description, and over this
was a bright red cloth tied around. The
pants were Of the knickerbocker cut, and
his stockings red and drab. He said
his name was A.. +. Soloder, and was u
missionary from the South Sea Islands,
rather funny for IL missionary to come
into this section. However, he an
nounced to all he met that he would lee
ture in Caskey Hall ON Monday and
Tuesday nights. He lectured on Mon
day night, but he skipped out of town
rather suddenly on Tuesday evening.
We also understand he forgot to settle II
few bills before leaving. The Oxford
Press speaks of him. He failed to lee
ture there because he could not get the
hall until the cash was planked down.
We believe the man fraud.

A certain family in Boston has q
lovely old grandmother, whose years
number 1902. She is in full possess
sion of all her faculties and is usu-
ally fairly well. Not long ago, how
ever, she had a slight illness and all
of her descendants huttered about
her with loving care. One morning
after she had been in bed for two or
three days she refused to have her
breakfast brought up to her and
sent the granddaughter who wished
to bring it to her downstairs, with
the announcement that she wished
to be left quite alone.
The family wondered, but ere
spected grandma's within, and went
on with breakfast. Presently the
dining-room door opened, and in
walked the old lady, serene and
smiling, with a new cap on her
snow white hair.
"Why, grandma cried the young
lady who had so lately been sent
down from her, "what have you
been doing? Did you come down
stairs all alone ?"
Grandma sat down at the table,
unfolded her napkin, and said =
81 should think I'm old enough
to come down stairs alone. If a
woman isn't old enough to come
down stairs when she is 1902, when
will she be?"
