Mrs. Richard Thomas, wife of Richard

one there who would do violence to her hus-
band, she was very greatly excited and was
taken with a peculiar feeling at her heart, and
expired in few moments. DIR. Milton W..

Base Ball.

Westminster has very good amateur base
ball club. With more practice it would be
able 10 hold its own against any amateur
club. 1t has good batteries, and all handle
the ash we'll On Tuesday team of girls
travelling through the country played the home
team. The girls cannot play even little
bit. but the boys did not know that and started
in with dash to play. After the pitcher
threw a few lightning balls over the plate he
was asked to ease up, and did so. The girls
went out without leaving the home plate, and
when the boys went to the bat they slugged
the ball hard. Had they chosen to do so
they would still be playing their half of the
first inning. When the skill of the girls was
fully sized up, the boys gave them chance,
allowing them to hit the ball, and then threw
it about wildly to see the girls run the bases.
They came TO the home plate out of breath
and warm. The fun was kept up for seven
innings, the girls having nearly as many runs
as the boys.
On Wednesday club from Hanover, Pa,
came here to play game, and the contest
promised to be interesting. The visitors
made two runs in the first inning and the
home club one. In the second the visitors
scored one run and the home team two. The
score was tied. In the third the visitors we're
BANKED and the Westminsters scored three.
Up to this time the game went along smoothly.
In the fourth inning the visitors made two
runs. making the score stand 6 to against
them. The Westminsters went to the bat
and began to size up the Hanov:, pitcher in
good style, and the visitors began to kick.
Two hits and Il base on balls filled the bases.
Shortstop Mitten went TO the bat, knocked Il
homer and four runs were scored. The Wis
itors claimed the ball foul, though it was fair
by fifteen feet inside the third base. The
umpire decided the ball fair, and without
much ceremony the Hanover manager called
his bows in, took up his bats and left the field.
The Westminsters were outplaying the WIS.,
itors mt all points. Hayes was pitching n fine
game. and he was well sustained by Manning.
The boys were hitting the ball, too, and the
outlook was for an overwhelming defeat for
the visitors This was why they refused 10
play out the game.
Our club, in arranging games, should always
stipuate with visitors that nine innings should
he PLAYED, and clubs refusing to guarantee a
full game should not be- invited. IL is baby
ish for club 10 act as the Hanover club did,
and disgusting to spectators. Umpires erI
rs well ms players, and if wrong decision is
given il should be accepted without comment.
Wrangling over decisions is unpleasant &c
the lovers of the game, and mars the pleas
ure of the contest. Umpire Smith was acting
| impartially, and his decision on the hit tha
broke up the game was absolutely correct

HAIGHT ITEMS.
children's Day services-Personals- Picnic
Other Items.

Sunday morning dawned without a cloud,
much to the delight of all concerned about
children's day at Oakland. At the appointed
hour the church was comfortably filled, and
everybody seemed in harmony with the day.
Owing to the lateness of the season and the
scarcity of flowers there was not so much
trimming as formerly, but what was done
looked very pretty and showed good taste.
The exercises were a success throughout.
1t was really. gratifying to see the children get
through with their parts so nicely, and espe-
cially as they only rehearsed twice. We
suppose it is due largely to the training that
Miss Ella Shipley gave them. Mr.. ii. NJ.
Stricken, Jr., delivered an excellent address
on Character which was listened to with the
closest attention. Rev. H. NJ. Stricken de-
hyered an able address also. Both were ex-
cellent, being instructive as well as amusing.
Another of the best features Of the program
was the singing, which was pronounced the
best there has been at Oakland. One hour
and quarter was consumed in going through
with the program, and we believe could it
have lasted another hour the same interest
would have prevailed. A collection was taken
up, but the superintendent did not get quite
the sum asked for.
The last children day service on the circuit
was in the afternoon, and many from Oakland
and Freedom were present. The school was
flied to its utmost capacity, and many could
not gain admittance. The program was very
creditably gone through with, and the collec-
ton amounted to a snug sum.
Miss Bessie Hanson, of this place, is visiting
at Woodberry this week. Mr. Thos. Carter,
of Baltimore, spent day or two in this vicn-
ity. Frank Munroe, Of Wetheredsville, Bal
timore county, has been visiting his brother,
j. N. Munroe, of Oakland Mills.
N. W. Steele is to have his residence at
Oakland rTainted shortly, which will add
much to the appearance of the property.
| We have been asked to announce in this
week S items that the young men of Oakland
Mills will have picnic and dance on the
afternoon of August g, beginning at o, clock.
A string band will be present and furnish
music for the occasion. The spot selected foI
the picnic is just above the dam. on the
factory premises. A platform is erected for
the occasion, but we would advise the partl-
cipants to be careful and not make a misstep,
as it might plunge them headlong in the dam
We are much obliged for the correction IN
regard to the sum raised for repairing the
church 1t was only "A mistake, which, by the
way, we are all liable to make, but, unlike

Trinity Reformed Sunday School of Man
chester held chidren's jubilee last Sunday
evening. The large church was crowded with
an attentive audience. The Sunday school
entered the church singing a professional
hymn The program was made up of singing,
responsive readings, recitations and an ad-
dress. special feature of the occasion was
the dedication of an organ presented to the
infant department by the infants, who held
an egg breaking entertainment several months
ago for the purpose of raising funds to buy an
organ The choir sang several anthems and
the infant school had due share of the pro-
gram. Misses Lottie Shower and Florence
Warner each recited selections. Little Misses
Norma Gettier, Annie Thurman and Pearl
Burns sang solo parts in an infant class song.
Masters Otto Dieffenbaugh, Harry Myers,
Ernest Miller, Walter Brilliant, David Bril-
hart and Harry Hoffacker recited ''Some OF
the BOYS of the Bible" Misses Marian Ever
hart and Grace Lippy joined in duet in the
singing of selection entitled 'The Children S
Jubilee"
The massing of lovely flowers in the form
of a pyramid on the altar, beautiful bouquets,
delicate wreathing-in word, tasteful ar
rangement of cut flowers and pot plants attired
the chancel in beautiful garb. The decora'
tons, and the program as rendered by the
school, contributed another service to the list
of hallowed memories associated with Trinity
