THE FOURTH.
A Quiet Day in Westminster but a Lively
Evening.

The Fourth of July, 1891, was a beautiful
day, though towards evening there was a
small shower, high wind and II pretty cool
atmosphere. During the day young America
indulged in base ball and setting off fire
crackers, but as the shades of night gather
ed the people from the surrounding country
came into town, while Westminstcr's popula-
ton turned out on the streets. Main street
was well filled. waiting for the firemen' S
parade, and fire crackers, cannon crackers,
rockets, roman candles, colored lights. &c.,
were set off in all parts of the city.
The iiremen's parade was Il very creditable
affair, and the line OF march included the
principal streets. The Westminster De-
partment turned out 81 uniformed men, and
the Union Bridge Company about 10. The
Westminster Band headed the procession,
and the Union Bridge Band accompanied
the Union Bridge iiremen. Jos. ID. Brooks,
of Westminster, was Chief Marshal. Torches
were not lit until the extreme East End was
reached, and the procession looked well as
it marched through Main street.
After the parade festival was held at the
Fire Department Building to raise funds to
add to the height of the building, and about
5000 were realized. The festival was we'll
attended as the receipts show.
Downstairs Mrs. 5. X. Herr, Miss Lizzie
Herr, Mrs John II. Mitten, Miss Kittie Noel,
Miss Maria Mikesell, Miss Johanna Ham
and corps of assistants served ices and
cake. Upstairs a 177G tea party was given,
the ladies wearing the costumes of that
period with powdered hair. The menu was
unique and contained many good hits The
ladies' in charge were: Misses Mary B.
SheIlman, Maggie Huber, Maggie Baumgart-
ner, Anna Shriver, Mollie Shriver, Lottie
Moore, Lillian Erb, Pauline Trumbo and
Grace Herring.
Business was mostly suspended during the
day, the public offices, the banks and the
principal stores were closed.
AT night, after the parade, pyrotechnics
were set off in various parts of the city, the
finest displays being at Mr.. Chas, Il. Stewards
and DIR. IL. c. Nelson's, on Green street.

Children's Day at Mt. Pleasant NJ. E. Church.
Reported for the Democratic Advocate.

After some disappointments and postpone
ment Children's Day service was held at Mt.
Pleasant NJ. E. Church, Patapsco circuit,
last Sunday These occasions have always
been attended by large crowds at this church,
but last Sunday, perhaps, went ahead of any
occasion ever held here, and undoubtedly
the largest concourse of people that ever
assembled at Mt. Pleasant were present.
Long before the time for service every avail
able seat was occupied and standing room
was scarcely to be found. At 3 O'Clock, the
time for commencing, hundreds were COM
PEELED to remain outside. When DIR. Davis.
the preacher in charge, arrived, which was a
little late, he said it was with difficulty he
found place to to tie his horse in the vicinity
of the church, and as he pressed his way TO
the door to enter he said it looked like all
the world was there with all the mamas and
little ones. The exercises opened with an
organ voluntary by X. X. Knox, after which
Miss Holace Williams presided at the organ,
assisted by X. X. Knox, cornetist. The
singing was led by L. L. Harden, superin-
tendent of the school. DIR. Davis addressed
the school, taking for his subject "The Pearl
Diver" The programme was charmngly
rendered in all its parts. All who partici-
pated did so well that special mention of any
one would be out of place here. The church
was beautifully and tastefully decorated, for
which the ladies of the community are enti-
tied TO the credit.
The annual picnic at Mt. Pleasant will be
held on Saturday, the 25th instant A band
of music will be in attendance. The preach
ers and public are invited.

Reopening of Oakland Church.

Sunday last Oakland Church was reopened.
There was large congregation present.
Rev. DR.. Morgan preached an excellent ser
mon at IL O'Clock, which was listened to
with interest by all, after which Dr. Davis
made short address. He did not ask for
collection, but asked Mr.. Frank Bennett, of
Baltimore, to do it, which he did in very
interesting manner. The indebtedness on
the church was 500 and in about ten min
utes $l05 were raised. The ladies' invited
all that came from distance to dine in the
grove, where an excellent dinner awaited
them. There was ehildren's service in the
evening, conducted by Mr.. Bennett Some
of the young men forgot their pieces, but the
smaller boys and girls did not. 1t was very
pleasant occasion for the children, who
always look for Mr.. Benefits visits with

-"Graceland, the spacious and beautiful

wide porches of the noble mansion were at.
tractively illumined with Chinese lanterns.
Within the large parlors, especially arranged
and decorated for the occasion, presented
picture of bright and alluring beauty that at
once charmed and delighted every heart that
was fortunate enough to enter the pleasing
place. The weather. unfortunately, was in
auspicious, but once in the charmed circle of
the hospitabe home all thought Of cloud and
rainstorm vanished as mists before the morn
ing sun. Guests were in full evening dress,
and the toilettes of many of the ladies were
exquisite in taste and design, and, conse-
quently, exceptionally pleasing and attractive.
Dancing began at o o'clock, and the scene
then presented was one that must Hnger long
in the minds of all present. The brilliantly
illuminated rooms, the beauty, the vivacity
and the grace of the charming dancers as they
fitted to and fro in their softly rustling cos
tunes, the thrill and exaltation of the gay,
undulatng music, together formed picture
treasure rs a precious legacy. Choice re-
freshments were served during the evening.
