Circular Letter to the Sunday-Sc
Workers of Maryland.
OFFICE MD. S. S. UNION, J
PIG n. Charles Street,
Baltimore, Oct. 6, '94. }

Baltimore, Oct. 6, '94.
Dear Fellow Workers:
In accordance with the recon-
mendation of the Sunday School
Union of London, (England) YOU
are asked to observe October 21st
and 22nd, 1894, as days for special
prayer in behalf of the Sunday
school cause.
"Not by might nor by po Ter, but
by my Spirit, saith the Lord of
Hosts" Let US earnestly pray for
the Divine cooperation in our la
bors, without which there must be
utter failure in all our efforts. We
have reason for gratitude at the
great advancement which has been
made during the present year; but
confronting US yet are many OBJ
structions-the materialistic ten
denotes of the age are undermining
practical faith in God-firmly en-
trenched eyils are wooing thousands
of our young into channels Of vice
but if God be for us, if His power
be linked with human effort, who
or what can stand against us?
cit is not the will of your Father
which is in Heaven, that one of
these little ones should perish"
The following arrangements are
suggested for observance as far as
practicable
That on Lords Day morning,
October 21st, from Z to 8 o'clock,
Private Intercessory Prayer be
offered on behalf of Sunday
Schools.
That the opening engagements Of
the Sunday School be preceded by a
meeting OF the teachers for prayer,
or that instead of the usual school
exercises prayer meeting of the
teachers, scholars, and congregation
be held.
That ministers be asked to preach
special sermons on the claims Of the
Sunday school, and the necessity
for increased preparation and con-
secration on the part of Teachers.
That on Monday morning, Octo-
ber 22nd, teachers again bring their
scholars, one bv one, in private
prayer before God.
That on the evenings of one OF
more of the following days specia
services for young people be held
where practicable.
Fraternally,

The Disputed Boundary.

On Wednesday morning of this
week there left here for Aurora a
party of gentlemen engaged for the
purpose of surveying the disputed
boundary line between West Vir-
ginia and Maryland. The party is
composed of Lawyer S. j. Polling
and Surveyor John Harmed on the
part of Maryland, and LAWYER
Prince and Surveyor Julius K.
Monroe, on the part of West Vir-
ginia. They are assisted by the
following gentlemen: Messrs. II.
Nj. Rayenscraft, Geo. A. McGee,
Cam Lantz, Lewis Lantz, Jas. Wat
son, W. W. Monroe, D. Y. Morris
and Geo. Menear. The party will
go at once to the beginning of the
disputed line and begin work this
(Thursday) morning, They are
amply provisioned for the work IN
hand, which will occupy probably
two months time.
In connection with this subject.
we have heard considerable com
ment during the past few days upon
the probability of the line being run
so as to throw part of Preston
county, and Terra Alta in particu-
lar, into Maryland's territory.
Anyone at all familiar with the dis
puted boundary question will not
entertain the above idea even for an
instant. If the line is changed at
all-which is very improbable-it
will be so slight change that it
will be hardly noticeable. West
Virginia would not give up so large
a part of her territory without in
Vulnerable years of litigation, and
Maryland would hardly put in
claim for so large share of West
Virginia's soil. Terra Altans can
remain at ease-as long as they re-
side here they will be citizens of
West Virginia and can continue the
refrain of that grand old song,
"The West Virginia Hills. Ter
ra Alta Oracle.

MIR. Brady'S Flag.

Everybody in Allegany county
knows Mr.. Jas. T. Brady, propri-
etor of the Brady House at Iona
coming. For many years Mr.. Brady
has been an active and influential
Democrat, and has frequently rep
resented his district in county, con-
gresslonal and State conventions.
Two years ago he was one of Mr..
McKaig's most active and faithful
supporters. But Mr.. Brady has
undergone change of heart. He
cannot follow his party in its wild
and reckless crusade against the in
terests of the community in which
he lives, and he has come out open
ly in support of Mr.. Wellington.
A few days ago he raised a large
flag on top OF his house attached to

words "Wellington and Tariff Pro-

On the Death of Henry A. Rasche.

On the Death of Henry A. Rasche.
Our little town was unexpectedly
shocked at the untimely death of
our fellow townsman, Henry A.
kasche, a man and gentleman in it's
literal sense. Quiet and unobtru-
sive, keeping within his own bosom
his trials of life, mindlng his own
business and interfering with no
one. Safe and honest to be de-
pended upon, retiring in his, a
modest disposition. Few knew
him. But the writer did, and
thinks he can judge a man of
true worth. During the early years
of the California gold excitement he
made his venture, went and left his
family but | learn he provided we'll
fgr Sln. | know they never suf-
fered. | intimately knew them.
Ills wife was true wife and de-
voted mother. He returned and
gladness and joy was expressed by
all. A devoted and loving father
and husband, unselfish and self
sacrificing to their welfare and best
interests; a man Of good judgment,
forbearing and just to all, ever ex-
erting himself to make home happy
and always at home when business
did not actually call him away.
Devoted to his wife and children,
ever striving to please and provide
for their present and future COM
fort, and although he, on account
of his quiet and retiring disposition,
was but little known, | can say he
was a man of sterling integrity and
an honorec citizen. He is gone.
His life's effort has ended. Twas
faithful AMI true to all. Quick and
sudden was his death, unexpected
by himself or any one he passed
away. Attempting to adjust some
fault in his engine he fell, and be-
fore assistance could relieve him
life's vital spark was SO quenched
that he expired after a gasp or two.
And so now he will only be one to
be remembered by those who knew
him, appreciated his moral worth
and honored him. He was ener-
getic, honest and faithful to all his
duties. Can more be said of any
man? We knew him and his fam
lily intimately. Mr.. Rasche was q
man of great patience and forbear.

and saw him nearest, know that he
had many trials, sufferings and
Affections to endure, but he evel
remained kind father and affec

not of sounding brass or tinkline

words of the apostle, patient. Ii

Mr.. Rasche was a faithful mem
ber Of the Catholic church. His
funeral took place on Tuesday al

Mattingly was celebrant. After the
funeral services Father Stanton, Of
Lonaconlng, preached an eloquent
and impressive sermon. Father
John Ryan, of Washington, assisted
in the sanctuary.
May he rest IN peace and perpet

AN ENGLISH VIEW.

The The Star of Bethlehem, published
in Leeds, England, gives it's readers
the following account of the great
railroad strike:
A big revolution is now going on in
the United States of America and
there is little doubt that the govern
ment will be defeated. The dictator,
DebS, has been driven from his palace
and he and his mistress are now hid
ing in the mountains. The greatest
trouble has been experienced in the
capital of Chicago, where Grover
Cleveland, the ringleader of the rebels,
has obtained complete control. The
railroad at that place has been torn
up and thrown in the Mississippi
river, stream considerably larger
than the Severn, and the stock yard,
where the government palaces are sit
uated, has been razed to the ground.
The trouble was started by a man
named Pullman, who has a stronghold
in the mountains of Illinois, one OF
the most considerable provinces of the
country.

ROBERT LINCOLN, asked concerning
the condition of the country, ejacu-
lated: eve are in the hands of the
Democrats" Yes, but the Democrats
appear to be in the hands of three or
four political highwaymen. They must
no be judged too harshly.-Neao York
World.
Whoever heard of a great political
party surrendering to three or four
men before. And the way that Demo-
cracy in the house tumbled over itself
in order to get into the hands of these
alleged highwaymen, was caution.
If the facts in the case are as alleged
what assurance have the people that
the same performance will not be re-
peated again at the first opportunity?
The people, however, will prevent any
such thing happening by retiring the
crowd permanently.

We regret to announce the death of
Edward Douglass, the young man
whom we mentioned some days ago as
having received a severe paralyetic
stroke. He died at the home of his
parents five miles from Amboy, and
the.funeral was held at that place to-
day. Mr.. Douglass was 81 years of
age, and the stroke of paralysis was
supposed to be due to hard work in the
harvest field during the hot weather,
and is thought to have resulted di-
rectly from hemorrhage and blood
clOt in the brain. Mr.. Douglass re-
ceived every attention, and three
physicians ministered to him. He had
many friends in this city, having at
tended the Commercial college last
winter, and the Normal school two or
three years ago. His death will be a
source of regret to all who knew him.

REVIEWING the manner in which
Democracy came into power, and the
loud professions they made, and their
unconditional surrender to the sugar
trust, the Minneapolis Penny Press
asks if new party is necessary. 1t is
possible that new party would not
prove any better than Democracy, as
we find that two senators of the new
party that the Penny Press has been
disposed to flirt with more or less
lately, voted for the sugar trust tariff
blk The Republicans put sugar
practically on the free list, and when
the people come to pay for taxed sugar
they will become more and more i'm
pressed with the mistake they made
in 1892.

WHEAT, says the Cleveland Leader,
has been relatively weaker and lower
than silver for some time past. The
obvious reason is that there has been
a good deal of stopping of work in the
silver mines, while the wheat crops
have gone on ripening. 1t is another
Illustration of the fact that the price
of each commodity is governed mainly
by the law of supply and demand, and
it shows that the great trouble with
the price of wheat is still the crushing
weight of the surplus now in store in
the grain depots of the world.
