Sunday School Picnic.

The Sunday School of Mt. Pleasant
Church participated in a picnic at
Black Barren Springs on Wednesday
last. By $50 all had gathered at the
church which time had been previously
announced by the Supt. s. M. McCar-
dell, where wagons were waiting to
receive them. One four horse wagon
owned and driven by William J. Car
ney, called the bell wagon as each horse
having four bells on him which helped
to make pleasant trip. At 1870 the
happy party reached the grounds where
a joyful day was to be passed. Soon
the scholars entered into plays OF
various kinds, a swing was soon erected
which was kept going throughout the
day. While the children were playing
and Shorty was running, splendid
dinner was prepared which was served
to the scholars by the teachers until
all the appetites were satisfied. The
scholars continued their plays and
drinking of the healthful water until
4 o'clock came when the company
started on their way home singing as
they went, reaching the church at s p
M, with few dresses torn feeling they
had passed very pleasant day.

THE SALOON.

For the past few weeks Rising Sun
had been doing herself proud in the
matter of DRINKS.
Last week however the temporary
lull was broken and king alcohol reign
ed supreme. A practical list follows.
Saturday afternoon "A few boosers
staggering around town making fools
of themselves for the benefit of the
small boy.
Evening.-A crowd of barrenites in-
vaded the town early and after getting
roaring drunk, danced around with the
band aud addressed insulting remarks
to people on the walks. One of them
got into store and had to oe elected
when he stood outside and cursed the
proprietor loud enough to be heard all
over the upper part of town.
Sunday.-A crowd found in barn
on the outskirts of town where they
had spent the night in drunken
stapor.
Tuesday evening" drunken 'ridger'
ON mule disturbed the worshippers
in the M. r.. Church and narrowly es'
capped being captured by the bailiff

Hunting Guinea Eggs.

To find guinea nest was the very
poetry of egg hunting. The creatures
are half wild, and feed far afield. The
bush pasture was their chosen haunt,
and had such store of hidden hooks, such
clumps of brake and briar, such steep
grassy banks, such tangle of sedge and
dewberry and plum thicket, that we
would never have found an egg but for
the birds queer habit. When the hen
goes to the nest her mate stands guard
over her on the nearest bare spot, and
fills the air with his harsh buzzing cry.
Following the sound, we came upon
the pair. Madam chooses her home
daintily, and deeply hollows the clean,
dry earth of it. Flowers often nod above
it, grass is sure to spring greenly about
the edge. Overhead is always shelter of
some sort, for the maker knows instinc-
lively that sunshine will addle her pre-
cious eggs. Her small cousin, the par
fridge, SO admires her taste that some
times she decides to share the nest.
Sometimes, too, a hen of Independent
mind comes a-grasshoppering into the
bush pasture, and puts her eggs into
such shelter. Very often we found forty
eggs to the nest. And when we took
them out it was always with a silver
spoon. Black nanny Taught us, "Ef
yer puts han in dar, de guinean smell
it an quit de nes'." Whatever the rea-
son, the fact was none the less fact

The base ball game at West Noting
ham between the Rosebudsand Orange
Blossoms resulted in decided victory
for the latter. The game was played in
the Academy field and was witnessed
by large crowd The Rosebuds could
not hit Mayberry effectively and did
not score till the ball got lost in the 9Th
inning. w. Beehtel played finely at
third aud Miss M. Maxwell made a
sensational stop in center field, Miss
Nesbitt ran the basrs like Hamilton
ion' but got left on third twice. Misses
Kimole and Smith worked hard for the
Rosebuds. In the 9th inning Mayberry
and Bechtel hit the ball over the center
field fence in succession. Bob Nesbitt
the regular first baseman of the Orange
Blossoms met with an accident and
could not play. Arthur Tosh took bis
place but he would "get over the line.''

Peter became more urgent; Bonni-

The Use of a Lightshsp.

One day we had what was perhaps a
practical illustration of the ightship's
usefulness. It was hazy morning, and
the mate was scanning the horizon with
his glass. Bringing it to bear to the
southwark, he held it long in that direc-
ton, while look of anxiety came over
his face. Several of the crew joined him,
and finally one of them said, eff she
keeps that course five minutes longer
she'll be on the shoal." Through the
haze large three masted schooner was
discernible, heading directly for reef
to the southwest of us.
She was evidently looking for the
lightship, but the haze had prevented
her from sighting us, although our sharp
lookout had had his glass on her for
some time. Then, too, as the mate re-
marked, with a slightly critical smile,
"These captains feel so sure Of their
course that they always expect to raise
us straight ahead.' Suddenly there was
evidence that she had sighted us.
She swung around as swiftly as if she
were turning upon pivot. She had
been lunging along in an uncertain way,
but the sight of US seemed to fill her with
new life and buoyancy. Her sails filled,
she dashed through the waves with
streaks of white streaming along each
quarter like foam on the tanks of race
horse, and on she came, fairly quivering
with joy from keel to pennant.
Such instances are of almost daily oc-
currence, and if we add to them the oc-
casions-and they must run far up into
the hundreds, if not into the thousands
when the warning voice of the fog bell
and the guiding CLEAN of the lamps have
saved vessels from shipwreck, it seems
as though the sailor must look upon the
South Shoal lightship as one of the
guardian angels of the deep.-Gustav
Kobbe in Century.

Many of the rank and file of the
two old parties feel offended when
confronted with the history of the
parties they help to keep in power.
The trouble with the rank and file is
thus: They have not yet learned the
difference between quitting up'' and
getting up"-they imagine it is one
and the same. The idea of being
duped has never occurred to them.
Their hearts are right, but their heads
are all wrong.

acted all their forces and by control

effectually control all production

They are heavily entrenched and
have at their command all the re-
sources the enemy of general prog

entrenched in front of civilization
and no progress can be made until
they are routed. The struggle for
the mastery will be the most stupen-
dous ever known. They have full
control of the machinery OF the two
old parties. Their tactics are keep
the people divided. The tariff is the
bone of discord. To advance high
or low tariff as remedy for exist
ing evils complained of by the farm
ers and the whole producing class, is
the most gigantic fraud ever at
tempted to be palmed off upon a
suffering people.
1t is no wonder intelligent men

does more lying about the tariff than
telling the ruth. Both parties aim

Fire IN Elkton.

Early Sunday morning flames were
discovered issuing from the three story
frame building on Main street opposite
what was formerly called the old Ex-
change Hotel, owned and occupied by
VIM. Heatzig. The flames quickly
spread and consumed main buildings
before they could be controlled, besides
causing much damage to property
adjoining.
Next to the Heatzig building on the
west or down town side was the three
story double frame dwelling belonging
to Hon. J. A. J. Creswell. This quickly
ignited. The part adjoining the Heatzig
building was occupied by DIR. John H.
lamar as an office. His library was
partly destroyed as we'll as some surgical
instruments. The other part of the
building was occupied by Thomas
Green as dwelling. Part of Mr..
Green's furniture was burned as wellas
his chest of carpenter fools containing
instruments worth about fifty dollars.
The flames then caught the brick house
adjoining owned by Miss Mary Nc
Intire and occupied as bakery and
dwelling by w. j. Dickinson. Partrot
Mr.. Dickinson's furniture was saved
but most of his stock burned. The
building was burned as well as the
adjoining brick building also the pro-
perty of Miss McIntire. This was
occupied by Miss Susie May who lost
most of her furniture. The walls of
this building are still standing. The
flames at the same time had been spread
ing rapidly up the street. Adjoining
the Hea.zig building on the East side
was the Office of liveryman Edward
Taylor. This soon ignited and was
rapidly destroyed. This property be-
longed to Mrs Jarvis. Adjoining was
double frame dwelling house the pro-
perty of Mrs. Rate Parker. This was
soon in flames. One part of the build
ing was occupied by Mrs. Laney Simp-
son the other by Emma Grow. Some of
the losers were insured and Others were
not. The building of Miss Mary Nc
Intire was valued at about So, 500 and
was insured for ST. 900 in the Cecil
Mutual and $500 in the Baltimore
Fire Company. Mr.. Creswelps building
twas valued at 50, 500 and insured in the
Cecil Mutual for $3.50. Mr.. Heatzig had
his building insured for $1,000 in the
Farmers' of York and for $500 in the
Fire Association of Philadelphia. Mrs,
Kate Parker valued her buildings at
81 500 and there was no insurance. Mrs.
Jarvis had no insurance. Miss Susie
May, who occupied one end of the Nc
Intire building, lost $3.50 and no insur-
ance. Mr.. Dickinson the baker, who
occupied the other end lost $500 and
was not insured. Thomas w. Green
lost $3.50 but was insured for $500. DIR.
lamar lost $3.50. no insurance. Mrs.
Lucy Shippers saved most of her furni-
ture, Emma Crow lost some of her
household effects probably worth $50.
Mr.. H. NJ. Nicols, Mrs. NJ. A. Nelson,
F. j. Kerr aud Mrs. Hall had their
furniture damaged by removal The
origin of the fire is unknown.
