Took the Wrong Team.

An amusing mistake, at least to all but
the parties interested, occurred IN Elkton
on Tuesday. A leading citizen of the
county, who is director of the Elkton
National Bank, hitched his horse in front
of that institution on Tuesday morning
and went inside to attend the weekly
meeting of directors. A prominent citi-
zen of one of the upper districts, who is
interested in the iron mines at Iron Hill,
came here that day to draw money from
bank and pay his employees. He was
accompanied by clerk. They engaged
team of livery dealer who left it
hitched in front of his place for them.
The clerk went to the bank first and was
followed by his employer. When the
former came out of the bank he noticed a
team in front of the building, and conclud-
ing that his companion had brought the
team that far got in the buggy. The
employer on the other hand seeing the
clerk enter the buggy thought he had
driven it there. They drove away inno-
cent of the fact that they were purloining
the team. When the director came out
of the bank about noon and found his
team was not where he had left it he was
considerably alarmed, and was not reas-
sured when informed by neighboring
storekeeper that two strange men had
driven it off. He started to inform the
sheriff. In the meantime the livery
dealer had been wondering why the
parties did not come after the team, and
was in bad humor over the matter,
thinking that perhaps they had obtained
one elsewhere. A citizen to whom the
liveryman had spoken about the matter
heard the director talking about his loss,
and concluded at once that there had
been mistake. The livery team was
sent out after the directors team, and it
Was brought TO him. The parties who
had made the mistake also soon arrived,
and were profuse In their apologies to the
bank director. The latter was naturally
much incensed about the matter.

The w. C. T. U. Anniversary.

y
The second anniversary of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of Elkton
was celebrated on Tuesday evening last
at the home of Mrs. Hinchliffs. Beside
the active members of the organization
there were present the honorary men,
bers, the Young Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and number of in
vited guests. The Union held business
session at which several new members
were received, after which the anniver-
sary exercises were opened by singing,
''Am 1 Soldier of the Cross" Rev.
Chas. Hill who was to have led IN prayer
being detained, Edwin V. Hinchliffe was
called upon. Miss Bessie Terrell sang
very pleasingly solo entitled, ''When
the Pearly Gates Unfold" An essay by
Miss Mary Biddle was then read by Mrs.
L. NJ Haines. The essayist dwelt on
the grand work that the Union has per-
formed in this community. Misses Grace
Wells and Carrie Ricketts, sweetly sang,
"Ring Out the Notes of Warming"
Rev. Chas. Hill then delivered an ad-
dress. He congratulated the members
of the Union on what had been accom-
pished in this county. but would remind
them that there were other counties and
States where the liquor traffic was still
legalized and that the men interested IN
it were pouring out their money to- pre-
vent the enactment of prohibitory laws.
There is still necessity for vigilance here.
He gave interesting statistics regarding
the amount of intoxicants yet consumed.
The woman who had drunken husband
or son as closely realized perdition as
could be this side of the grave, and it
was not surprising that they had com
bined to crush the monster. All the
women of the land should join in this
movement for God, home and native
land. The speaker was of the opinion
that persons present on that occasion
would live to see president of the United
States elected on the platform of prohi-
bition, and also a clause in the Constitu-
tion prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating drinks for other than
medical and chemical purposes.
A solo aud duet "The Water of Llfe''
was then beautifully rendered by Misses
Lizzie Merritt and Clara Scott. The
former took the solo part. Mr.. Henry R.
| Torbert, of THE CECIL WING, recited
touching poem entitled Little Tim,
and was loudly applauded. ooh the
Good We May be Dong was we'll rem
dered by Misses Annie Pierson and
Addie Brown and Mr.. E. V. HinchIiffe.
Mrs. Annie L. Wilkinson then read in a
pleasing manner a selection entitled
"Jssus Risen. 1t referred to the atten-
tions of women to the Savior, and their
fitness for religious aud moral work.
The reports of the superintendent of
the various departments were called for.
Mrs. L.. NJ. Haines reported the very
large membership of the Loyal Legion,
of which she is superintendent, and made
few remarks regarding the work.

Bay View Items.

BAY VIEW, June 18th, 1888.
Our fishermen have made their return,
and we now feel confident that there will be
a revival in business as we hear they have
been very successful this season. Some of
them have been waiting for an opportunity
to cite up" for many years, but owing to
scarcity of fish they have been putting it
off from year to year, but at last fortune
has favored them so that they can support
partner.
SLEEPY LOVERS.
1t becomes our painful duty to chronicle
a terrible smash up caused by two of our
young bloods coming together. They had
attended the Zion festival, and after seeing
their sweet hearts safely housed, they
started to their respective homes. About
midway between the two places they col
lided-one of the wagons was a complete
wreck, while the other one was considerably
bent and broken. We trust that they will
in the future try and keep their eyes open
while on their way home in the "we-small'
hours.
CONVALESCENT.
Our young friend, Harry Mahoney, has
been confined 10 the house for some weeks
with the typhoid fever, but we are happy to
say is now convalescent. Harry is a good
fellow, and we hope he will get along all
right.

work at reasonable rates Give him call.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

We copy some figures in another col
umn relating to the electoral college in
the next presidential election.
-Four years ago the Democrats polied
2i9 votes. which was 1S more than was
needed
We must have now, in order to elect the
President. POI votes, but as the electoral
count is by States, Of course we need
morethan that number Most people are
aware that the Democratic line IN the
national contest consists according to
the average politicians plan Of the SOLID
South with New York, New jersey, and
Connecticut, New York having 30 votes,
and the other two 10 together, which
with the other 1913 Of the South, make
204, a majority with to spare.
II we should win Indiana still il would
not be enough with New Jersey and
Connecticut, and as we must have forty
eight votes added to the Southern con
tingent there appears no way OF working
out a majority without New York. or
course many shrewd politicians think
that there are probabilities of gaining
other States in the North than those we
carried in the last election. But the safe
and simple way is to play upon the basis
of certainty-that is, upon the States
of the North known TO be Democratic,
which can be counted on with fairly
good management to range themselves
under their own party colors.
Now, if we do not get New York there
is no combination thai gives us majority.
But if we save New York we only need
either Indiana or the two other States,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
The great and only point for the Ma
tional Convention to consider therefore is
the selection Of man who has the best
possible capacity to carry New York, as
the rest OF the battle WILL to all intents
and purposes, take care Of itself The
eyes of the party are at present on Cleve-
land and Hill. We hope Governor Hill
will perform the great stroke that some Of
his friends have advised him to, viz. To
nominate Cleveland.

AIEAP-YEAH CANDIDATE.

That was clever in Mr. Blaine, like a
GOV maid, to decline little before he was
asked
Of course it turned away ten thousand
shafts, and will allow Mr. Blaine to say
yes when he is pressed. That is, he can
enter the fight without having been
riddled beforehand But-and We opine
that none but verdant hayseed Republi-
can sees any sincerity in the thing
descry another motive in the coy refusal.
Ha, ha this is leap-year, and instead OF
asking, Mr. Blaine thinks he ought TO be
courted SO he will be by all the White
law Reid Republicans; but there be Others
who will hold him to the pledges OF the
document by that sense of cOnscien-
tiousness," and hence he cannot be
nominated until 1910

rur TWO PARTS OF EDUCATION.

There are two parts TO a good educa-
ton. Men may know too much and 30
NAV women. Wise towards that which
is good. simple in what is evil il a
grand idea Ii is quite as important to a
well taught man or woman that they
should be ignorant Of some things as that
they should know others The low
minded man has his own ways
OF looking at things, and a dictionary
of his own. To be misunderstood
to have your words and actions attribu-
ted to an unworthy motive is oilcnse in
deed. To see your image reelected from a
warped mirror elongated, broadenedi
twisted, perverted is horrible But how
much more miserable % see the image OF
your heart and mind, an cranked and
distorted near enough 10 your proper
self 90 be recognized, but so out OF shape
as 90 be- hateful a large experience Of
mean people, large knowledge Of the
uglenesses OF men, disqualites mind
for the reception and appreciation Of
what is good, true, noble and high Our
faith in the possibility and probability Of
the good, the true, and the beautiful is
sorely let and hindered by familiarity
with theiI oppOsites.
An old heather says We were made
for virtue but without it, The craving
for truth and high manhood can not be
eradicsted from the human soul, and the
man who is an honest lover and culliya-
tor Of any virtue, be it courage, honesty
kind heartedness, or any other element OF
manly character, il going to be generally
acceptable. lie gives reality to the same
virtue in every one with whom he asso-
Cates.
Therefore we cite this great truth, that
moral education should be the aceomqani-
ment Of all instruction.

The investigation of the affairs of the
Virginia Military Institute should be
thorough and exhaustive, not only in
Justice to the Board and Superintendent
Smith, but because this is an institution
fostered by the State, and one that should
be 80 conducted a. to grow in popular
favor and respect.
The training of military school is the
finest possible for youth if the academic
department is up to the average Of col
iege. The boy is taught physical and
moral and intellectual exercise all with O
discipline that is rigid but not in the
least tyranical, and in any career he under
takes the habit Of exact punctuslity never
leaves him. The State of Virginia holds
the Institute in great esteem as well for
its present and future usefulness as for
it's honorable associations.
Therefore, let this investigating com
mittee hunt the abuses to the core, if there
are any, and reccomend the remedy. There
IL one principle most emphatcally applica-
bic to all public institutions, and that is
a freedom from the personal policy, a
single individual, or ring.

{. MONKEyING WITH HISTORY.

The New York World finds that
Chauncey Depew has been monkeying
with history" when in that rubicrnd
dinnerspeech he referred TO the periods
Of commercial distress in the years lsl6,
1899, and 1916 THE mill closed, the
furnace fires out, the farmers bank
rupi, and the laborer a tramp are the
lurid lessons Of these well-meant expert
ments upon delusve theory OF the re-
lations Of the factory TO the farm"
Mr. Depew's antics were performed in
the interest Of the great protective
theory. But the paralyzed mills wee
nothing in the periods he referred TO
compared with the panic Of 1873 when
the Republican party had enclosed the
land with the protecting wings Of pro
tective tariff at var rates. And from
that year, 10 the autumn OF 1888, was .
long history Of disturbance, strikes, lock
outs, riots, and bankruptcies. Monkey
I'M" is good The Republican party is
all the time cutting capers and swinging
by its tail to some fantastic monslrosiiy,
that would not be countenanced for a day
bu, that the trick is performed with cir
Gus war music and red FIRE.
This plain proposition is nov pre-
scented before the people Are we to pay
third or half more for the articles of
general consumption than people 90 in
other countries, and must we continue 70
do this to support about two millions Of
people under a system Of tribute wrlng
from hfty-eight millions Of consumers,
whose interest is to get food and clothes
at just prices.
But "monkeying with history has
created a certain amount of prejudice,
and somehow or other many people we're
made 10 believe that war taxes at fifty
per cent in time Of peace benefited the
country.
