MERRIAM PARK,

During Lent the ladies of the Trinity
M. E. church have been recOunting the
great things their Aid society has done
in the past year. On last Tuesday aft
ernoon the members of the society held
its annual meeting for the election of
officers and for laying plans for the
coming year. This was its second an
nual meeting, and in those two years
the society has raised almost Zoo for
the furnishing of the new church. Its
membership has also grown from
several members to large society.
Mrs. Jacobs, the retiring president, made
a few fitting remarks, and the reports of
all retiring officers were very satlsfac-
tory. Mrs. Douglass in paper chron-
icIed their history of the last two years.
Following are the officers elected for the
ensuing year: President, Mrs. w. o.
Hillman; first vice president. Mrs. w.
B. Martin; second vice president, Miss
Maud Upham; treasurer, Mrs. Nicols;
secretary, Mrs. Watson.

The mystery which surrounds the
strange movements of the two stoves
owned by John Jones, a farmer living
about eight miles from PocOmOke, an
account of which appeared in yester-
days American, remains unsettled.
About three week ago his stoves, one of
which is an ordinary cook stove, stand

nearly every household in the country,

man or natural assistance. Fire flew all
over the room, although the stoves were
shut up tight, and no place open where
fire or anything could possibly escape.
The fire destroyed carpets, bed cover
ing, and set the clothes of the inmates
of the room on fire in many places.
At first, although considerably an

were at a loss what to do, and so brought
it to the attention of their neighbOrs,
who could neither stop the movements
of the stove nor explain the cause.

traded about S12 worth in ten minutes

hours, and go out without buying a

How did you cure her?''
swell, spoke to her in an off-hand
way one day, and she fired up and said
that as long as kept clerks it was my
business to be bothered. Next day L
selected ten of the girl clerks, posted
'em as to what to say, and they rung her
door-bell at intervals of an hour all day
and inquired if she wanted a nurse girl.
She didn't, and told them so pleas
antly enough until the tenth one came.
Then she said:
'I'd like to know why on earth all you
girls come here bOthering me when
don't want to hire!"
Because, ma am, so long as you keep
servants it is your business to be both
eredn was the prompt reply.
Il think she reasoned out the analogy
for she now sits down and buys what
she wants and every clerk likes to wait
on her."

across the floor. There were 500 people
within fifteen feet of it, but, strange to
say, not one of them saw it move, as
they were in the yard, with their backs
to the stove. Hearing a tremendous
noise they turned and saw the stove in
that position. This morning c. X. Coul-
bourne, proprietor of the electric light
plant; G. D. Melvin, editor of the
Record and Gazette, and The American
correspondent, took an electric test
battery to discover if there existed
any electric disturbances or ground
current, and found that there was
nothing whatever unnatural or remark
able i'm this particular. The old lady
and the little girl were in the house
with us. and we applied our battery to
them to ascertain if they were charged
in any unnatural degree with the cleo
trio current, but found that they were
not. Although we made an early start
to observe the first greetings OF the
weird and uncanny agent from the
depths below, we found scores of others
in advance of us, and still coming from
every direction. During the day the
wonderful stoves were inspected by
over LOCO persons from the lower coun-
ties of Maryland and Virginia. Mr..
Jones is a well-knOwn practical farmer
of about thirty-twO years of age, and is

He has resided at his present home for

Mrs. Sherman Finch is very stylish
woman. Her sister, Miss Hersey, is one
of the most cultivated young ladies that
ever graced st. Paul social circles. She
is linguist, an accomplished pianiste,
and sings charmingly. "She talks like
book-not like people who try
to talk like book, you know,
but like brilliant people who really
do talk in books, you know" said a
young man, getting little ratified in
his enthusiasm over Miss Hersey's con-
versational powers. She is a beautiful
character, incapable of any meannesS,
as her great, honest eyes would tell
you.

a finished linguist. Her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Milton Griggs. is immensely popu-

nent as society leader, is also cOnspic-
uous for her intellectual attainmentS.

is famous for her tact. She was never
One young fellow declares he always
feels like purring when he comes into
Mrs. Flandrau'S presence-She always
makes him so comfortable and satisfied
with himself.
Mrs. Thad Jones gives herself heart
and soul to charity. There are few
poor women or children in the town
who do not know her. She is always
hunting up the needy, going into
tumbled down houses, putting the places
in order, scrubbing the babies, ScOlding
the women and filling the purses. The
charity in which she is especially inter
eSted is the sewing school.
Gen. Sibley's daughters, Mrs. Young
and Mrs. Pope, are great favorites.
Mrs. Young is very pretty and sings
ballads Sweetly to guitar accOmpani-
ments. Mrs. Pope is splendid, large
hearted woman who is famed for her
excellent housekeeping,
Mrs. Charles NOyeS is deeply utter

well.

MUSIC OF A WEEK.

The fifth musicale given by W. Mel
son Burritt's class at F0rd's music
rooms, Tuesday evening, drew out a
large audience. Nothing is productive
of so much unconscious attitudiniZing
as a musicale. There is the girl with
long eyelashes. She hears the best
with her eyes closed. Then, there
is the girl with big, expressive
eyes. She hears the best with her gaze
turned heavenward. Then there is the
real music-lover. He hears chiefly with
his mouth. And, ah! there is the critic
his head turned to one side, hearing
enough with one ear to form the jndg-
ment by which man lives or dies
unsteady. There is no mistaking him.
His approving nod, his awful frown,
his smile, which makes mans glory
or his grave, as it is pleased or de-
risive-all placard him for what
he is. Several numbers, Tuesday
evening. were sung in italian. Prof.
Burritt justified this by explaining that
the songs were too loye-sick for modest
American men to endure in their own
tongue. After this bit of enlighten-
ment, one shall feel justified in blush
ing Oh general principles whenever an
Italian song is heard. The programme
was begun with ''Now the Day is Over"
by tire st. Paul ladies' quartette, and
was followed by ''Open Thy Lattice"
by James Swift. Mrs.Dr. j. w. Thomp-
son gave pleasing rendition of "Le
Parlate glamour" from "Faust," and
the clear, bell-like soprano of Miss
Grace Morehouse played to advantage in
Mulder'S ''Staccatto Polka" Miss Alice
Warner sang in her usual charming
style. The Duet by Mesdames Thomp-
son and Erwin was well received. There
was evidence of their popularity shown
when Mrs. Nettie Fuller gave selec-
ton from "Ernani," and was followed
by Miss Hattie Brush, whose rich con-
tralto was admirably displayed i'll a
selection from '.Semiramide." Mrs.
Albert ID. Zimmerman sang effectively
Bedouin love song, and John d. Mer-
rill filled his listeners with enthusiasm
by his rendition of "Salye Dimora,"

BACHELORS, BEWARE.

When a sweet pair of rosy lips,
Wreathed in bewitching smiles
Seems to invite your ardent gaze,
Beware of female wiles.
When soft eye of tender blue,
Of brown or sparkling beack,
Meets yours in warm and thrilling glance,
Beware its sly attack.
Beneath its seeming innocence
There turks covert art;
Take heed the arrow that it shoots
Tranfixes not your heart.
The little god draws not his bow
In vain to serve the fair;
Each subtle dart may find its mark
This is leap year-Beware
