she is compelled to apply to some one of the
male part of creation for it. This is not so
easy rs it would be to write check which
would be houored without demur. OF
course, all men do not demur but they all
do like to ask questions, and women do not
like to be cross examined, even in the most
agreeable manner. Money, however, il the
smallest part of charity. Woman work is
work indeed. The walk OF charity is not a
pleasant saunter. The talk OF sympathy
may give the speaker pain more than pro-
portoned to the relief which it lmparts.
And the economy of woman's charitable
work is something to be admired. The
"Lenten season" now Just over, has given
many woman perfect and unquestloned
right to as pretty bonnet as she chooses to
purchase for Easter. All the women do not
observe Lent upon Ecclesiastical princi-
pies. But the drift of fashion has very much
widened the custom of doing charitable
things at the season of the year when the
pursuit of amusement has become trihe
wearisome. "Work for missions and the
poor" has come 20 be considered as season.
able in the spring as the first shad or the
first asparagus. Needles and tongues move
together, as the surplus of the well-to-do is
converted into necessaries for those less IA
vored by fortune. The hospital and places
of refuge look as confidently for gifts in the
spring as for the first bud and blossoms.
And if the ladies enjoy their "circles" it
shows that they can appreciate harmless
amusement, even if it has the prosaic fea-
ture of utility. "What glorious frolic it
is for them!' said male observer who was
a tolerated intruder upon woman's chart
table gathering A frolic, to be sure it is,
for Dorcas and her friends when they get
together. And small blame to them for it.
The world is all the better for the enjoy
ment found in doing good-or, at any rate,
in not doing harm. So, all honor to Dorcas,
and all comfort to those for whom she
makes garments.

EarleVille Items,

April TO- 1888.
Mr. Editor: 1 drove over to Chesapeake
City one day last Wet and found the roads
in fair order only here and there bad hole.
Wheat in this section is looking fine and
few days of sunshine will help its growth
wonderfully.
| noticed along the road a great many
empty houses. The farmers in this section
will be in bad way for help this season
unless we have flood of immigration soon.
We had four deaths near Earleville in
March. One of them that of Silas Welsh
occurred very suddenly at James Williams
near Johnstown. John Brooks, faithful
old colored man, recently died. He was
buried by jeremiah G. Price. Geo. Jones,
another colored man, who, for a number of
years. bad been gardener for Mr.. Thomas
Ward died lately of pneumonia.
Our farmers generally are very busy now
getting their corn ground in order, having
finished planting oats.
Herring are very plentiful and selling on
Elk River for 30 cents per hundred. Shad
are scarce. The former will be down prob
ably to one dollar per thousand as the
pound nets are catching so many.
At present there is good prospect for
peaches as the trees look very well. With
plenty of herring in the spring followed by
an abundance of peaches our people ought
not complain, and if the peach crop turns
out well, as it ought from present prospects,
our far,ners oupht tn make both ends meet
and have something over. \ very large
acreage will be planted in corn this season
in this section.

Exciting Runaway.

A collision caused by a runaway created
great excitement on Main street on Sat,
urday evening last. A horse from Mr..
Falls stables attached to a buggy left
standing unhitched in front of the post
office by commercial agent, ran down
North street at furious pace, turned at
the Howard House and coIlided in front
of Mrs. Litzenberg's millinery establish
ment with team containing Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis T. Roberts. The aged couple
were thrown out, and Mrs. Roberts was
carried and Mr.. Roberts supported into
Mrs. Litzenberg's. They were attended
to their home by DIR. J. H. lamar. Both
were badly bruised and shocked. but
neither sustained serious injuries. The
carriage of Mr.. Roberts was completely
demolished, and his horse ran home.
The buggy was also considerably injured.

Port Deposit Items.

PORT DEPOSIT, April II, 1888.
II. F. Kenney, general superintendent of
the Maryland division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, was in town last Fri
day examining the site for the proposed
new foundry. He was met by Messrs. Nc
Clenahan and Buck who explained the ar
rangemeuts of the proposed buildings and
the quantity OF land for the purpose. One
or more of the committee will call and see
him in few days in Philadelphia, when
MIR Kenney will let them know the price.
The impression seems to be general that
the figures will be low enough for the COM
pany to begin work at an early day.
Shad have been very plentiful the first of
the week, the OILERS catching from 10 to SO
to boat. The later number was caught by
the Vannort Bros. Herring have been very
plentiful also and have been selling on the
street from 10 cents to one dollar per hun
bred.
A new canal boat came down the river
from Lewisberg Thursday, it being the first
craft down the river this spring. A num-
Der more are expected in day or two, also
a small quantity of square timber and
spars.
The Tidewater canal was filled with water
Thursday aud few light canals boats
started for Wrightsville. We may expect
soon to hear the toot of the horn at Lapdum
and loaded boats with coal and lumber
passing down to Havre de Grace to be
lowed to the cities. y.

mails is provided. They were only two
days coming from Lexington to Elkton.
In the same car were number of other
horses to be taken to New York. Jingle"
a three-year-old colt, we were Informed

horses were taken to the stables on the
fair grounds. Nine more will be brought
here from Lexington in about a month

NONRESIDENT Street Traders.

Three butchers from the neigh borhood
of Cowantown have recently been serving
the ctIzens of Elkton with fresh meats,
or rather such citizens as choose to pur-
chase from them. Having no rent to pay
they were enabled to undersell our home
dealers or compel them to reduce to
ruinous prices. One of the home dealers
this week called the attention of the town
authorities to the following town ordi-
pance.
BE 1t enacted; That any person not a
citizen OF the town of Elkton Offering
anything for sale on the streets, sidewalks
or open lots be required to pay for the
privilege to the Town Treasurer two dol
lars for each day. The ordinance further
provides a fine for this law.
Bailiff King informed the offenders of
the law, of which they were ignorant. 1t
is reported that one of the parties has
rented store in town and will continue
to run a meat wagon.
1t is said by some that the town ordi-
nance under which this was done was
framed for the purpose only of making
street fakirs, patent medicine vendors,
etc pay for the privilege of occupying
the streets. If the meat wagons are in
violation of the law, it is presumed that
fish and truck wagons run by non-resi-
dents of the town could also be required
to pay license.

A Contested Claim.

The attention of the Orphans Court
was given at special session on Thurs
day to the case of Webster Brown, of
the Ninth district, executor of the estate
of his father Clemson Brown VS.. the other
heirs of the same. Webster Brown
claimed that 50 700 was due him from his
fathers estate on promisory notes. The
other heirs objected to the payment, and
the hearing was for the purpose Of prov
ing the debt. Upwards of twenty wit
nesses were examined. The case was
not concluded, and will be continued on
some day to be named by the Register of
Wills. Reuben Haines and Charles G.
Crothers appeared as counsel for the
claimant, and L. NJ. Haines and Albert
Constable for the heirs.
