Calico Ball.

The fact that our most popular dancing
school is for the present to close, and desir-
ing to greet dame Spring with joy and glad
some manifestations induced us to have the
grand calico ball at this place on the even
ing of the 18th instant.
Beginning at o'clock the happy partici-
pants began rapidly to arrive in couples
the lady most pleasingly attired in calico,
the gallant with nccktie to match his lady's
dress, and presented by her-until the com
modious hall was well filled with those
eager to join in the dance. When all had
made their advent we could say without
scruple that we have rarely met an assem-
blage where gracefulness was so prominent
ly exhibited in all its alluring charms, or
where cordiality in its oldtime profusion
and sincerity was 80 elegantly displayed.
Dancing having continued until IL o'clock,
refreshments were duly served, and after
being thus invigorated the pleasures of the
dance were resumed until the early hours
of the morning, all departing with the hope
that the future would bring many renewals
of the happy evening.
Among the ladies present were the follow.
ing Misses l.. Edes Waring, Sarah Jones,
Eulah Shreeve, Katie Pyles, Evie Dawson,
Clara Byrd, Mamie Allnutt, Annie Byrd,
Annie L. Dade, Evie Allnutt, Maggie Oar.
by, Estelle Allnutt, Jennie Dawson, Mar
garet Allnutt, Mary Dawson, Bette Byrd
and Ida Dyson of the county; Miss Mira
Compton, of Virginia; Miss Mamie White,

The gentlemen present were Messrs. Law

The Democratic Reform Club.

In Baltimore on Wednesday there was
organized "The Maryland Democratic Re-
form Cluo" The officers of the club are
earnest members of the Democratic party
from various sections Of the State. Ofmost
of them it may be said that faithful public
service has made their names guarantee Of
the honest purpose and the practical useful.
ness of any political organization with
which they may be identified. Their at
tachment to the principles of the Demo
cratic party sufficiently insures their con-
stant allegiance to the party that will main
tain and preserve those principles.
The failure TO realize Immediately all the
much needed reforms, in matters of legisa-
ton or administration, will not tempt them
to foolishly and treacherously throw their
influence and that of their club TO the pro.
motion of the worse evils of Republican
supremacy.
The word reform has been too much dis.
credited perhaps by the futile efforts of short
lived enthusiasm which has been dissatis-
fled by single triumph of machine politics
over fair and honest methods.
We must, however, with all our might
hold fast TO the truth, that agitation for re.
form is as necessary In politics as cultiya-
ton of the ground is in agriculture, or
preaching and constant warning against sin
in the moral and religious world.
We must recognize the universal truth
that the tendency Of all things human and
in nature is towards degeneracy. Stop the
laborious tilling of the soil and the noxious
weed will possess the earth. Cease the az.
tive struggle of moralists and church or.
ganizatons and carnival Of sin and crime
would destroy society.
The constitution OF this club contains
nothing to which every true Democrat 10
the State may not eagerly subscribe. In ma
tional affairs its purpose is to "promote
those principles of legislative, administered
i've and tariff reform which have been ad
vocated by President Cleveland"
No one but recreant Democrat, whose
heart is half with the enemy or wholly fol
himself, can object to this declaration.-Ha

Preparing for the Races.-Prepar,

Preparing for the Races.-Prepara-
tions are going forward rapidly at Ben
nings, near Washington, for the races that
begin there on the 2Sth of this month The
applications for stable room continue to
pour in, and as the stables can only accom-
modate three hundred and thirty horses, it
is likely that some will have to be sent to
the stables at Ivy City, as over four hun
dred horses are expected. President Draney
says:
"The encouraging sign for the the racing
prospects of Washington is the TACT that
both the Dwyer Brothers and Green b.
Morris will have racers here this year. Mr..
II. d. Mcintyre, Secretary of the Brooklyn
Jockey Club and former Washingtonian
was here lately and assured me that both
Mr.. Morris and the Dwyer Brothers would
send several of their horses to race, and
would, besides, be present in person. Mr..
Mcintyre further said that it was generally
conceded in and around New York among
rience the most successful meeting ever held
in the District of Columbia"
The presiding officers for the meeting have
been selected. Mr.. Clarence Mcdowell, of
Baltimore, will act as presiding judge. Mr.
Mcdowell possesses the confidence of own
ers, as well as the public, and his decisions,
therefore, give universal satisfaction. Jim
Rowe will hold the flag, which insures
fair start at the post.
The pool privileges have been accorded

county Sunday school Convention,

1t has been arranged to hold Sunday
School Convention for this county, under
the auspices Of the Maryland Sunday School
Union at Gaithersburg, Saturday and Sun.
day, May 9th and 10th. The indications are
favorable to large and most enthusiastic
gathering of Sunday School workers from
all parts of the county. The good people
of the town are making ample preparations
for their entertainment.
These conventions are useful in arousing
greater public Interest in Sunday School
work in awakening teachers to more en-
larged sense Of responsibility and greater
zeal, in giving spiritual emphasis to the
cause, and quickening all lines of religious
work. They are conducted in spirited
man ner, the addresses are brief and instruct
i've, and the discussions pithy. Live and
experienced Sunday School workers from
distance will be present to assist the dele
gates to make the convention success.
The union character OF these conventions
is an admirable feature and serves to render
them popular and effective. The members
of the different denominations who attend
lay aside their differences, sectarianism van
ishes, and in a sweet spirit of unity they
mingle and talk and sing and pray, and de-
wise means for the greater advancement of
the common cause. Such fellowship can
not fail to impress those who are Indifferent
10 religion.
The schools either have been or will be
notified to send two delegates each, and it
is hoped there will be general response.
The theme of the convention will be "The
work, the workers, the material, the ma
chinery, the power.

A Canal-Opening Dredge


A CanaI-Opening Dredge.-One of
the most salient movements on the line of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is the con
struction of canal dredge at Winships
wharf, near Rock Creek, in Georgetown,
where the Marion Dredge Company, of
Ohio, has charge of the work, on which
District and Alexandria hands are employ
ed. The dredge is one of two that will be
built for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
managers. The other one is to be built at
Cumberland, and while one moves from the
Georgetown end of the canal dredging as it
goes, the other will come from Cumberland
until they meet and the dredging work is
done. The dredge now being put at George
town is fifty-five feet long, five feet deep, but
only fourteen feet wide, this width being
all that could be given and yet allow
the machine to pass through the locks Te
widen the dredge two pontoons Of equal
length and three feet wide to be attached
are provided. The dredge will carry its
double scoop ahead of its bow, and will be
of the most approved style for canal work.
1t is already somewhat advanced, and the
machinery will be put in and the boat be-
ready for work before the opening of June.
The dredge company has been fortunate in
getting as hands men who are shipcarpen-
ters, workmen of that trade being unobtan-
able when work is done alongside the canals
in the interior of the country.
