Tea Party.
Reported for the Democratic Advoca


The handsome and hospitabe country home
of Mr.. and Mrs. X. Smith Snader, of near
New Windsor, was the scene Of a very pretty
tea party on Friday evening of last week.
Promptly at the appointed hour the guest
began to respond to the cali, = and soon the
spacious parlors were filled with merry and
jovlable company.
In due time all were invited to repair to the
dining room, where they were met by the
hosts parents, Mr.. and Mrs. p. B. Snader,
and sat down to such sumptuous supper, that
to describe it would battle the most eloquent
writer. But all exemplifed the old adage,
that to ''eat, drink and be merry" is good.
Soon the beautiful lawn was taken posses
sion Of with the exception of Miss Birely, of
Frederick, Nd, whose delicate touch on the
hostess new piano, proved her skilled
performer, and would probably have suggested
to Beethoven another Moonlight Sonata
while in the midst of tripping the light fan
tatic, we were suddenly halted and again
ushered into the dining room, where ice cream,
berries, bananas, cakes and confectionery
were awaiting their eternal destruction.
After all had spent very pleasant evening,
although reluctant in leaving, they bade hos /
and hostess and subj host and hostess good
night.
Among those present were Mr.. and Mrs. P.
B. Snader, Mr. and Mrs. R. Smith Snader,
Misses Carrie Stouffer, Carrie Smith, Edna
Snader, Messrs. J. Walter and Herbert Getty,
Lee Myers, Walter Englar, j. l.. Englar and
Earle Carlisle, of New Windsor; Miss T..
Birely, of Frederick, Md; Miss Sylvia Evans,
of Granite, Nd; Miss Anna Amman, of En-
mittsburg, Nd, and Miss Rigdney, of Chica-
go, Ill.

To SUBSCRIBERS to the Advocate.

On the oath of February, last, the price OF
the ADVOCATE was reduced from two dollars
a wear to one dollar. In making the an
Douncement it was stated also that the pro-
prietors had determined to require prepay
ment for all papers sent out. The subscrip-
ton department had not been conducted upon
business principles, the paper being sent to
many subscribers year after year without
being paid for. The consequence was some
got so far behind they could not pay, and the
proprietors have lost hundreds OF dollars.
Old subscribers were given until the LIST OF
June to settle up back dues and start airesh
by prepayment. The reduction in price and
the new plan of putting subscriptions on the
cash-in- advance basis met with a hearty re
Spouse from the people, and since the LIST of
March about four hundred new subscribers
have been added to the lists, all prepaid.
All the old subscribers, except about one
hundred and fifty have settled their accounts,
and under our rules these dehnquents will
have to be dropped. We dislike to do this,
but all subscribers must be treated alike, We
cannot require some to pay in advance and
let others pay when they please. I would
not be just and fair.
The most of those dropped this week live
out of the county. As soon as the lists can
b gone over. those in the county will be
dropped who have not paid up back dues and
in advance.
We do not want TO part with any OF our
subscribers, and hope all will examine the
dates on their labels, and ifthey are in arrears
settle up at once. All have had more than
three months notice of the change in the
system of doring business, and delinquents
cannot censure the proprietors for dropping
them from the lists. All were notified, too,
that they could give notes if not convenient
to pay cash.

Commencement Tickets.

As heretofore announced. admittance to
the evening entertainments of Commencement
week at Western Maryland College will be
exclusively by ticket. One ticket secures the
holder one seat on the evening named on the
face of the ticket. Children must have tick
ets The doors of the auditorium will be
open at 4 10 and the entertainments will begin
at 7.45 No seats will be reserved except for
the faculty and students, and ushers will show
seats in the order in which ticket holders
come.
More than twice as many tickets have been
applied for as there are tickets to be distrib
uted and consequently it has been impossible
in most cases to send the number of tickets
named in the application. The College would
be glad to fill all applications just sent in,
and it is the limited capacity of the hall only
that prevents it from doing so. Persons not
receiving the number of tickets asked for will
please understand it is because the number
asked for was larger than could bessent to any
one family, and those receiving none at all
that it is because all the tickets have been
disposed Of 1t will be an accommodation
if parties holding tickets find they cannot use
them, to return them before the entertain
ment, so they may be sent to those who have
applied after all the tickets were sent out.

FREEDOM ITEMS.
Severe Storm Buildings Wrecked and Crops
Damaged -Children's Day at Freedom.

Our village was visited Tuesday evening by
very severe rain and wind storm. Consid-
erahle damage was done to grain and corn
fields. A large barrack on the farm Of K. j.
Baker was blown to the ground and not a
timber left standing The large wagon shed
Of. j. II. Steele was also demolished. The
porch of John Deckabaugh was also blown
away. Huge trees were uprooted in the line
of the storm, which seemed to have the fury
of cyclone. The rain fell in torrents and it
was impossible to distinguish objects ten feet
away. The storm lasted nearly half an hour.
Messrs. Prugh and Brandenburg left We'd
nesday to attend the grand ball and COM
meneement at the Maryland Agricultural
College.
Chidren's Day was observed at Freedom
M. +. Church on Sunday last. The church
was beautifully trimmed with fern and ever
green for the occasion. Never in the history
of the church has so large an audience as
sembled within its doors, while all who could
not gain admittance were satisfied to listen to
the strains of music as they hoated upon the
balmy air. The NJ. E. Church South attended
in body and were met at the door by the
superintendent and his assistant, who escorted
them to the seats reserved for them. The
program was beautifully carried out and.
teachers and scholars deserve great credit.
The ushers are also to be complimented on
seating SO large an audience, as everybody
wanted the highest seat. An address was
delivered by Rev. John L. Ensor, JUNIOR pas
tor of the circnit, after which n collection was
taken up and a nice sum realized.

The Gettysburg Pa Compiler of Tuesday
ays:-Apple trees in the vicinity of Arendts-
vile are effected with a disease by reason OF
which the ends of limbs are dying, as if
scorched with fire. Mr.. A. |. Weidner has
sent specimens of diseased twigs to the Divis-
ion of Vegetable Pathology at Washington,
D. c., inquiring about the disease and remedy
for same. The following is the reply from
the department;
''Your letter of June eth and box of speci-
mems has been received by this Division.
Our expert on apple and pear diseases has
carefully examined the specimens and re
ports that they are effected with apple blight
or pear blight, disease which does so much
damage to pear trees. 1t is caused by an
exceedingly minute microbe. which enters
the tender young parts and spreads down
ward in the bark, killing the branch as far as
it goes. Cutting out and burning as you have
been doing is the only way to combat this
disease, as far as known. 1t would be well
for those who have trees effected to at once
destroy the diseased branches before the
whole tree dies.
