Base Ball.

Reported for the Democratic Advocate
The base ball season opened at New Wind
sor College on Tuesday last by 4 game be
tween the club of that place and a nine from
Western Maryland College. Hardly bad the
sun PASSED the zenith. when according TO
promise, the visitors appeared upon the
grounds, surrounded by a numerous host of
hopeful and inspiring followers. Things
looked doubtful Tor the home club, which
sought refuge in the building until the game
was called. Promptly at o'clock umpire
Harper, manager OF the visiting club, an
nounced play ball. and the struggle began
with earnestness upon the part OF alt. Stone
aud MiSkimon composed the battery for the
visitors, and Eusor Bros, occupied similar
points for the home club. Stone displayed
the qualities OF good pitcher, allowing bat
six hits of his delivery. while II. Ensor, with
his erraric curves. permitted his opponents to
make bat two IL hits and caused Is men TO
die at the home plate. Both pitchers recelv
ed excellent support from their respective
catchers. AID the fielding throughout was
characterized by remarkable stops and bril-
Ian, fiv catches. SioufFer's two base hit and
McCurdy' three bagEer. brought forth rounds

The centennial of the Inauguration of Wash
;noton as the first President of the United
States. on April Both, was observed in West

bells at 6 a. M, u M, and p. M, and refg-

Lutheran and Reformed churches at a. M
At night few of the patriotic citizens set on
fire works. The day was legal holiday, and
the county offices, banks, schools and some
of the business establishments were closed,
while throughout the city flags were displayed.

The farmers convention was not held on
Monday, according TO appointment, and the
weather, no doubt, is partly responsible for
the failure. A few persons assembled at the
Court House, in the court room, and spent
over an hour in talking about the State fair
and the exhibits that Carroll could make
there, while few others went to the Court
House to attend, but did not think to go up
to the court room. Carroll, it was concluded,
could and ought to make fine exhibit. In
her soil are fine quality of marble, fair quail
ty of iron ores, copper ore, soap.sione and
superior granite. Her stock of horses and
cattle are unexceIled, and in the production
of cereals she has no superior. She has also
wooden and paper mills, first-class Touring
mills and tanneries, extensive canneries, and
Carriage factories whose work Is unexcelled IN
the state. There is fine timber here also.
Some plans will probably be set on foot next
week, looking to full exhibit from Carroll,
of which due publication will be made.

NOTE AND COMMENT,

Let it be remembered to Washington's
credit that he not only whipped the Brit
ish, but also introduced that useful and
picturesque quadruped, the mule, into
this observation-disclosures.
Isn't it about time for some one of the
city papers to inform the people of Ver-
mont whom their next governor is to be {?
1t is now only little more than year
before the convention is to be held.

THE SUPERvlSORsHiP.

Although the gentleman elected to the
office of supervisor of schools in this
county on Tuesday was not our candi-
date, we do not feel disposed to mourn
over the outcome of the meeting. Mr..
Hasseltine and his friends had done con-
siderable work, apparently, and, with the
exception of New Haven and Weybridge,
all the electors from the towns north of
here came down solid for him. His
choice, then, was but matter of few
ballots. Mr.. Hasseltine has all the neces-
sary education, having graduated from
this college in the class of 1862. He has
had experience in teaching and is man
of good common-sense, who will do no
foolish things and is likely to accomplish
much for the betterment of the schools.
Those who are interested in schools, and
particularly the old superintendents, who
know how the land lays, should see to it
that the new official has their hearty sup
port and the benefit of their experience
and information. He has an arduous task
before him at the best, but his burden
may be lghtened and his work made
more effective if those who can aid him
will do so.

ThE USE OE HE CENTENNIAL

The celebration in New York last week
of the centennial of Washington's inau-
guration was in the main a show affair,
but it had its use after all. 1t demon
strated clearly that the United States
contain welldrilled and disciplined
troops in sufficient numbers to render un-
necessary the maintenance here of large
regular army. 1t will be impossible in
the light of this demonstration to get up
panic over some threatened petty insur-
rection of strikers or even an invasion of
hostile troops, for the government and
the people will know that they have de-
tenders enough. The New York Sun,
pointing out these facts, says:
The militia that came did not express
the full possibilities of easy concentra-
ton. Massachusetts, for example, in
addition to her smaller organizations,
sent only one full regiment, the Fifth;
but, with her great railroad and steam
boat facilities, she could as readily have
despatched her entire uniformed militia.
Following the regulars and the militia.
marched body of veterans who, if they
had lost some of the alertness of youth.
represented leaven of experience in
war and attested courage which must
add greatly to the defensive strength of
the country Their numbers could also
be greatly increased in real need. The
third days parade brought out a great
army of stalwart men, some of them
uniformed and armed, and very large
part organized in semi-military fashion
and evidently accustomed to marching.
The war department detailed an Off
Ger of the regular army for the express
purpose Of watching the gathering, quar-
tering and subssting of the troops du-
ring the centennial ceremonies, their con-
dition and efficiency, and the facilities of
the railroad and steamship lines. His re-
port will undoubtedly present all the
facts and statistics which have military
bearing and significance. But the gener-
al result is already clear. Our country
need not fear that its lack of a costly and
crushing military establishment of the
old world pattern denotes lack of real
defensive strength. Ceremonies con-
Quoted and controlled by an organization
of citizens, with national and State CO.
operation, brought together a fine body
of drilled and equipped troops, and also
enough other marching organizations to
swell that force to a great army. And
these were only types of millions in re-
serve, on whose prompt services in an
emergency the government can rely, if it
only has good supply of weapons and
equipments ready.

resenting the Methodist Episcopal church
of Middlebury, VT, in meeting at the
church on Sunday, May 8, 1889, directed
that so much of their records as is con,

Resolved, That our recent pastor, Rev T. q.
Thompson, be informed of our appreciation of
his services during the past two years; and
that while in no way Understanding his
spiritual labors in connection with the church,
we do especially thank him tor his efforts in
behalf of the financial interests OF the society,
which have resulted so successfully in giving
us a parsonage practically free from debt, at
the same time leaving the treasury of the
church in a condition to meet every proper
demand made upon 1t.
