pet name you may choose, Il matter Of
slight moment, Is this opportunity h taken
not TO enquire into the sanity Of indiyid-
uals, nor 10 tree oneself Of any dissertation
on Che game, but rather 70 ascertain whether
we are 70 have ball team here this season
or net; and If we are. TO suggest that we
try 10 establish Southern Maryiaad
League, comprising teams from eight or
ten OF the towns down here in the southern
part Of the State. This l. merely . sug-
gession, but 20 its consequences. What .
sudden flood ofridicule and abuse such Q
hint ssirs up among Us, the outburss IL
spontaneous, It's ike, If may use the
hackneyed and commonplace expression,
pouring gourd Of water in pot OF boiling
lard Carp on, ye carping critics. your
shots are as futile as shells thrown upon
the iron ribbed Cushing. Our youthful
friends are inclined to denominaie these
ccnsors as "old fogies" and laugh at thier
opposition: Not SO with Us; we revere
their wisdom; we respect their ripened
years; but we at the same time remember,
"Laudator tcmporis acti,
Sc puero, castigator censorque minor
UNI"
But 20 return 10 our suggestion. Ii not
in us premature, for at present I'VE can
make no pledges, as II is matter Of uncer-
tainiy yet, whether we shall even have a
team here or not this year, but if we do we
are in favor of something Of the kind and
hope TO learn what our sister towns think
Oft If Bryantown. Prince Frederick,
McConchie, ST. InIgoes and others would
favour ii, IL strikes me that ii would bring
about pleasant relations between the young
people of each place and lend some amuse
ment to the long days of Summer
And now, with all due Difference 10 those
Of diverse opinions why should we not
have a team here? Is material lackings
Is IL not healthy, invigorating and inno-
cent pastime! Is it not less expensive than
and preferable to q game Of poker or some
other such diversion that those having too
much time at their disposal are too prone
to fall into? Is it not a source of amuse-
ment to players and some few others and are
we so over5urdened with resorts of pleasure
down here that we can find time and place
for none other? Does not the game invite
some little custom and lend some little life
10 the town! II strikes me that these ideas
answer themselves and / know Of none to
offset them unless, perhaps you claim that
il is better for our mental and physical
well-beIng to sleep away the sober after
moons Of July or drag through them in
some other such listless manner. And SO,
if we do have team, let US have one unlike
that of last year; let US have one made of
men that tciR play and not Of men that can
and ,con's; then the prophet of last Summer
who undertook to presage the doings of the
club beforehand will not be afflicted with
the same misgivings that he must have
suffered at the end of the last season. for,
contrary TO his prophecy the club was
failure as dismal rs the Everglades of
Florida. So let US get up the right kind of
a club; one that can afford to stand upon
its achievements as matter Of record and
not as q matter of prophecy.
Very truly yours,
CBANK.

Resolutions Of Respect.

At meeting of the Trustees of Charlotte
Hall School Thursday, May II, 1898, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God
TO remove from our midst Col. JOHN I'll.
SoTRoRoN, one of our most respected citi.
zens, for many years the faithful and eff
cient President of the Board of Trustees
of Charlotte Hall School, and of late one
OF the esteemed honorary members. we de-
sire to put on record our appreciation of
his excellent traits of character, and our
sense of the loss that we and this Institu-
ton have sustained in his death. Warm
hearted and genial, sympathizing in sor-
row as in joy, generous TO all, unstinted
in his liberality TO the suffering or needy,
possessing rare polish and urbanity of man
ner, he was q welcome guest i'm all society.
His duties in every relation Of life, as either
citizen, neighbor, friend and Christian gen.
tleman, were conscientously and unfalter
ingly performed.
Strong in his attachments, nothing
daunted him in rendering substantial man
ifestations of his devotion to his friends;
and so forcibly was this beautiful trait in
mis- character brought out in his last hours,
suae truly may IL De salu OF MIN, ne served
his friends even unto death.
His unfailing attendance upon the meet
ings of the Board of Trustees attested his
zeal and interest in everything that apper-
tanned to the welfare of this Institution.
We hereby order that this tribute be enter.
ed upon our records and that a copy there
of be sent to the family of the deceased and
also be published in the newspapers of
Charles and ST. Mary's counties.

A CARPENTERS TALK.
S. j. Kent, of Nebraska, Speaks
to st. Paul Workers.

to st. Paul Workers.
The organized labor mass meeting
last night at Market hall was not largely
attended, but was entertaining to those
present. The meeting was presided
over by L. j. Colin, delegate from the
bakers union to the trades and labor
assembly. S. j. Kent, of Lincoln, Neb.,
was the speaker of the evening. He is
the national organizer and lecturer of
the International Carpenters and Join
ers' union.
Mr.. Kent claims to be modest knight
of the jackDlane, but he is nevertheless
forceful speaker. His subject last
night was the trades unions, what thev
have done and what they expect to ac-
complish. He declared that if the trades
unions are not broad enough, it is the
fault of the personnel of the associa-
tons. He discussed the improved con-
ditions in Europe in the middle ages as
being the outgrowth Of organized labor,
and enunciated the fact that relief from
the feudal laws and serfd0m resulted
from the education of the laboring peo-
pie. To organized labor he declared is
due the freedom of the people.
Warming up to his subject, he de-
clared that equal conditions and liberties
for all mankind were first enunciated in
the Declaration of independence, and
that the government of the United
States was made possible by the educa-
ton and organization of the common
