Georgetown. There 10 a subdued air about
deeply shaded streets. a gentle melancholy
towering over the moss-grown roofs of the
wayside and the venerable old places slanting
bach from the highway amid the century -old
trees, that the new aud sunny houses on mod

brightness and smartnsss. Their architecture
and traces Of decay speak eloqusntly Of the

The gates all stand wide open. with little
paths winding through hedge rows or shrub
berry leading TO the vestibules OF old mansions
where doors have swung &C aud fro for mar

past only. The professions that have moved

them Is pensive. Such Is the Linthicum
house. standing on the top of pretty rise of

scarlet geraniums. A porch opens into a wide
ball, at the end of which modern bay has
been thrown out in the middle of the inclo sed
gallery running across the back, in the colon
ial fashion, with a stairway winding up from
each end of it.
The drawing rooms are large and on each
side OF the grand entrance hall. In them are
gathered many old-time bits of furniture and
family portraits. The house is now occupied by

The once owner of this fine establishment

The fund remained in the hands Of the trustees

Linthicum institute resolved itself into a boys

THE CEDARS

THE CEDARS
or the Cox mansion, is situated on Fayette
street and is one of the old-time residences. 1t
Is set in the midst of green cedars and tall
pines of at least century's growth Years ago,
when Georgetown was an independent place
and called itself city. good people elected
Col. Cox mayor, but the day after election
they discovered that he could not serve as his
estate Jay outside of the city limits. But that
did not disturb the city fathers; they coolly
passed an ordinance at the next meeting of the
board Of aldermen extending the city bound
aries so as to include the Cox estate and thus
enable them to enjoy the rule of their chosen
officer. On this place is a famous spring of
cool water, now degraded to flowing through
the wooden nose of a pump. 1t
is known as Bear Wallow SPRING"
for tradition says that in We olden
time the bears came out of the woods to drink
OF its refreshing waters and wallow in the
shallow pools where the spring ran over into
the marsh grounds. Judge Cox is a grandson
OF the owner of this once fine estate. The
original manor house was burned many years
ago. but rebuilt as nearly as possible according
to the original plans. When the place changed
hands some years ago wing was thrown out
on the right, which has for the past twenty
years been occupied as a boarding school kept
by Miss Earle. Recently the estate has been
divided up into building sites, and syndicate
purchased the section on which stood the maIl-
sion known as ''Burleith" for the Sisters of the
House of Mercy. Already the pick and shovel
with the hammer Of the workmen is heard de-
the old to make way for the new.

Tokens of Love.

1t would be difficult 10 imagine a
more affecting incident as proof OF
pure affection than that enacted at
the I.atter-day Saints College on
the occasion OF the final dismissal
for the term, this Thursday after
noon.
Just before The benediction was
to have been pronounced, the con-
ducting monitor asked in behalf OF
the students, permission for one OF
their number 10 read n poem appro-
pirate to the occasion. Miss Aretta
Young, a student Of the academic
department thereupOn read n beau
tiful production composed by her
self. We regret that the lateness
OF the hour when it reached us and
want Of space prevents lis insertion
here i'm full.
At the appropriate moment, six
young n lies glided in, three on
either side of the stand, each Of them
bearing n beautiful crystal basket
filled with elegantly arranged
natural flOwers-calla lilies, chrys-
anthemums, roses, mingled with
wrcaths of modest smilax; and ac-
eompanied by n written expression
Of regard to each individual teacher.
Miss Elite Penrcse then rendered
a touching vocal solo; Miss Fannie
Cannon followed with n recitation,
and Master Willard Cannon sang n
beautiful song. Elder |. J. Hayes
read a number OF fine tOsts and af-
fecting sentiments rs handed in by
the students.
The Principal arose and feelingly
expressed his Notwithstanding
the blessing Of God on his hearers;
he was followed By the instructors
in turn, each offering his heartfelt
assurance Of goodwill and apprecia-
ton. The choir sang and the as
sembly was dismissed.
Such an expression must have
been deeply affecting, and as an evil
dence of love between teachers and
pupils is worthy of remembrance.
Surely the spirit giving rise to such
an incident must be the spirit Of
peace and good will, and such is the
Spirit Of God, to the presence Of
which in the institution named 50
many display. Fruit and flowers
n more appropriate gift could not he
named. May such an influence
prevail.
