The following was written by young lady
who visited this city, early in the summer. tc
the Editor of The CycLopaedia, paper pub,
lished at the school she attends:
Editor of Cyclopaedid:
DEAR SIR 1t has lately been the priv
/ lege of the writer to spend week IN the city
! of Westminster. A pleasanter, pretuer town
is not often found and this is not all, 1t is ever
growing in size and beauty. To the attrac
! tive homes already there some handsome
residences have lately been added, among
| these NAV be mentioned the houses Of Prof.
| Diffenbaugh, the Misses Van Bibber and
| Mr. Joseph B. Boyle. At the Western
| MARYLAND College, which is now one of the
| leading schools of the State, great improve
ments are in progress. A handsome dwell
! ing. to be occupied by the President, DR..
Lewis. is being constructed near the entrance
to the grounds. Not far from this is 4 large
brick building, which we were told is the
new gymnasium, the gift of former pupil.
Alterations and improvements are also being
made in the interior of the older buildings.
There seems to be every prospect OF bright
future for the College, which is already the
Alma Mater of some of Maryland best and
most useful men and women.
The Theological Seminary, we confess,
presents rather a bleak appearance. From
there. as from most other points on the col
lege grounds, there is a fine view Of the sur
rounding country, but near the building there
is not a tree, nor a flower, nor a well kept
walk to be seen Is this because theological
students are too ascetic in their taste to care
for such things?
Of the Churches. an important feature in
every community, there is goodly number.
Almost every Christian denomination is rep
resented by tasteful, appropriate house OF
worship and a large congregation. In the
rear of the Protestant Episcopal Church
there is a retired. shady burial ground. In
the centre of this graveyard Is a weather
beaten Tombstone bearing the name OF Leigh
Master, who died in 1898. and who is remem-
bered as having introduced into this country
the field daisy. 1t is well if he does not
know the result OF his mistaken effort to
benefit his adopted country.
To a stranger one interesting feature OF
the place is the frequent appearance on the
street Of the Bunker ladies, whose neat
dresses and becoming bonnets make one
wish that their costumes could be universally
adopted Perhaps the leaders IN the modern
dress reform could obtain some valuable
hints from this source.
In that business enterprise which charac-
terizes the successful man OF the nineteenth
century. the citizens of Westminster are
evidently not lacking. We infer this partly
from the stores, factories aud other places OF
business already in operation. and partly
from the buildings which are in course OF
erection on Main street The most notice
able Of these is an imposing edihce compris.
ing a dwelling and banking house and Is the
property of Mr.. VIM. 3. Thomas,
In conclusion, We recommend Westminster
as a place where pure ar, beautiful mountain
scenery. and cultivated, hospiiablo people
are always 20 be found. EvNt'E-

And after the war was over Isaac went unto
Abraham and said Abraham, the war is
over: let us now join forces and march upon
the wicked Democrats.
And Abraham said unto Isaac: Nay, you
have won. and have all the implements of
war. and appointed all the leaders and cham
pions. and my forces are scattered. Samuel
has returned to his broad acres, Charles to
his quarry, Edwin is repairing his fence, and
the others have returned to their usual pur-
suits. | have resigned as manager OF the
mud machine. and you have it in your pos
session. Let the valiant William and the
Dashing Harry and the astonishing Joseph
manage it, Nay, Isaac, | cannot help you
plan the war.
And Isaac wept, and said woe is me. or
words to That effect. aud walked off as one
going to certain defeat.

Crop Reports.

From estimates made up of 1900 reports
collected in the last few days it is shown that
the wheat crop of Michigan was poor and
farmers have sold less freely than elsewhere.
Two thirds of the yield is in producers hands;
Pennsylvania has nearly as much, Ohio and
New York over half. Indiana about halt,
Missouri nearly half, and Illinois about AZ
per cent One-third of the reports say that
farmers have sold most OF the poor wheat ana
three. fourths of what remains will grade No.
, ar better Mills and interior warehouses
seem to average about half full. The acreage
sown this fall will be trihe larger than last
wear. Cloverseed yield averages as well as
| last year, and is more than was expected
short time ago.
