ARcHDEAooN MORAN, says the
Baltimore World, makes q very
sweeping statement when he says
that nine-tenths of the episcopal
churches are not particular whether
they receive poor people as members
or not. Doubtless there are congre
cations in this church, just as there
are in the methodist, baptist, and
other denominations which are
composed mostly of wealthy people.
Everyone can find so-called clash
lonable" churches in Baltimore.
But few churches exist which do
not have their parish aid societies,
their mothers meetings. their dis
triet visitors and their kings daugh
tiers. All these societies tend to-
ward bringing poor people into the
church, and man must wear o
very ragged coat who would be re-
fused at least back seat In q
church of any denomination. True,
much more can be done to bring
the church and the wage workers
closely together, but such a state
ment as the archdsacon makes is
open to criticism.
In the same sermon he handles
the negro question without mincing
and thinks one of the best ways to
solve it is to train the colored pee
pie for .sfaithful servants and at
the same time bring them into
churches of their own. This ser
want idea is truly an original idea,
and will doubtless be condemned
By many especially northern clergy,
while educated colored men who
have, SO to speak, made for them
selves position IN the world, viii
biaterly oppose such plan. The
discussion though will doubtless
bring ont some points of much val
ne in settling the problem which
this country will have to settle.

Suicide IN Berkeley County.


Last Friday afternoon Samuel Will
hanson, well-known and prosperous
farmer. committed suicide by hanging
himself in a barn on his farm near
Spring Mills, Berkeley county. Will
hanson had not been in his right
mind for some time, and for the past
few mouths has been confined in the
insane asylum at Weston. Monday
his brother, John Williamson, brought
him home to the farm, as it was con
sidered that he was harmless and in a
fair way to recovery. He, however,
acted strangely during the week, and
a pretty close watch was kept over
him. Friday morning he left the
house and walked out to the barn, as
was frequently his custom, but as he
was gone much longer than usual, one
of his family went ia quest OF him and
was shocked to find him hanging dead.
Williamson owned good farm, was
in independent circumstances, and
leaves a good sized family to mourn
his unnatural taking off. 1t is claimed
that insanity has been hereditary in
the family for some time. and it is only
about a year ago that his sister took
her own life by cutting her throat with
q razor.

The Ragerstown FAIR.

Last Friday was a great day for the
Hagerstown fair, when the local
boards from Jefferson and Berkeley
counties, West Virginia, Franklin and
Adams, Pennsylvania, and Allegany
and Carroll, Maryland, met with the
directors from Washington county.
After an hour or two OF conversation
in the Baldwin, the dining room
of that excellent hostelry was thrown
open, and the gentlemen present, to
the number OF one hundred and If
teen, took their seats at the beautiful
ly decorated tables. A splendid bill OF
fare was discussed with great earnest
ness and still greater enjoyment, after
which speeches relating TO the fair
the various counties named. Mr.. p.
A. Wilmer was selected as toast-mas-
ter, aud Jefferson county was re-
sponded TO by Mr. X. w Morrow in
a neat speech. The best means Of
making the fair a success were dis
cussed at length, and the general
opinion was expressed that the com
ing fair will be the greatest of all the
splendid exhibitions held in Hagers-
town. The liberal and enterprising
managers Of the Hagerstown fair are
just the sort OF men to make it go, and
they will be heartily helped by their
neighbors. The representatives from
Jefferson county were Messrs. q. +.

An Sons Point to q Cold Winter.

A New England weather prophet
saws: Its going to be cold, tough.
hard winter. You can back up that
assertion with lots Of evidence. Every
sign confirms the prediction, except
the goose bone, and it's not time yet
okill the goose and see what its breast
bone says. In the first place, there
never WAS so big nut crop, and that
sign denotes that nut-eating animals
are going to need big supply OF food
before the winter is past. Then, II
YOU go into the corn field you will OBJ
serve that the husks on the ears are
extraordinarily thick, and that, also,
means lots of cold weather right ahead.
More over, there are a dozen other
signs. not so important when consid-
cred singly, but which taken together
90 to prove that we are in for an old
fashioned winter"
