B. o. Flower has stirring paper in
the August arena called THE August
Present. He deals in view of hope
fulness and enthusiasm with the present
and the future which so many find so
gloomy for civilization and finds in
religion and science, the unrest in society,
in the new impulse to the study of econo-
mics, and in the modern interest in the
science sociology, evidences of a greater
renaissance of human thought than the
Age of Pericles or the Reformation and
Renaissance of the fifteenth century. A
new and profound spirit of the identity
of humanity is added to the intellectual
activity that alone distinguished other
great eras, and this is the result of modern
scientific investigation into the phe-
nomena of nature. The world can now
be better, if men will only hold fast to
knowledge and not let themselves retro
grade through passion, greed, and pre-
JUDGE and the brute instincts. 1t is a
striking review of the forces in modern
life that lead us to take hopeful views.

MR.. EDITOR The cornet band of this
place gave quite all entertaining festival
here on last Friday and Saturday nights.
The crowds were unusually large and
order was perhaps never better maintained
at gathering of the kind in this vicinity
The Principle band joined the Colora
band at o'clock Saturday evening, when
the two were consolidated preparatory to
the parade. They numbered forty pieces
and paraded all the available streets ren-
dering music choice and acceptable to all
who were i'll attendance.
Prof. J. H. Brown is a native of Cecil
county and served three years in the 18th
United States Infantry as Sergeant of the
band at Fl Leavenworth, Kas. He has
also been connected with many prominent
city bands.
Two years ago the Professor came back
to his old home at Colora and organized
what is known as Colora Cornet Band
which has been so successful as to reflect
credit on its members and the community
as we'll
He is to be congratulated on being able
to so successfully arrange and carry out
the details of the festival as to exceed, in
sales, the sum of $500.

PerryyiIIe Granite.

Mr.. III. Arthur Stump has leased
his "Richmond Hill" granite quarry
to four gentlemen from Philadel-
phia, James Brown, Thos. Morris,
A. Z. Waddy, and Edwin Weckerly
by name, VINO will operate the
quarry under the firm name of
Perryville Granite Co. The lease
runs until Dec, 31st, 1909.
These gentlemen have had the
stone thoroughly examined and
tested and claim that it works even
better than the Port Deposit
granite, and is more desirable for
the purpose for which they expect
to dispose of it.
They propose putting in siding
to connect with the B. & o., which
runs but a short distance overhead
from the quarry. Being located as
the quarry is they can ship by
either railroad or by water, having
first class facilities in this line with
in few yards from the beds of
stone, and therefore consider that
they have advantages possessed by
no OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Record.

Berlin i'm Ashes.

Another Eastern Shore wooden
town has been swept by fire and
scarce a vestige of it left to tell the
tale. On Sunday evening about s
O'Clock livery stable or barn in
the town of Berlin in Worcester
county was discovered on fire. The
fire swept through the town driven
by the shifting wind by turns in
every direction till eight acres had
been burned over when almost the
entire town had gone up in smoke
and flames. The loss is placed at
$4,000 with insurance of $1,000.
The town contained between 1900
and 1000 inhabitants, a large
number of whom were out of town
at Ocean City s miles away, and at
tending campmeetings. there being
three of these tented meetings with
in few miles of the place. Up
wards of go buildings were burned.
There was but one brick building
in the place. This was filled with
goods from the burning houses, as
a place of safety, but when the
shifting wind bore the flames down
on it it went before the hot blast
like the frame buildings. Much of
the household goods that were piled
up in places of supposed safety
were reached by the fire and shared
the fate of the buildings. Many
saved nothing but the clothing they
had on, and the savings of years
have gone in smoke. The streets of
these Eastern Shore towns are
mostly very narrow and the houses
are all wood, SO that q fire once
under way means wide spread ruin.
The town had no water but that in
wells and cisterns, and no fire
apparatus except an old time hand
engine and hundred feet of hose
which was of little use; but without
plenty of water the best of fire
engines are of little use.
The stump of a cigar carelessly
thrown down is said to have caused
the fire but this is doubtful as the
flames when discovered were in the
Top Of livery stable. The only
redeeming feature connected with
the confiagation is that not a person
cow or horse was injured.
The Mutual Company of this
county had some insurance in the
town but not much it is said, having
cancelled most of the risks a short
time befope the fire,

how it was to be done-25 to 0, 80 to o. no one to
make single base all out on strikes, and all the
earth was to be theirs. l took my seat on the
grand stand early. l knew the money paid fol
my privilege went towards hiring the battery that
did not belong to their town, Notwithstanding
their pet weekly boasts they have the best
battery in Chester county; of course-it is i'm
ported | saw the game and heard all the ugly,
i'll bred and ignorant comments upon the amateur
visiting club. / saw the rank decisions of the
prejudiced umpire for the great C) team that had
consented to play bail for idle pastime. 1 watched
il all through in quiet judgment and have loved
the pleasures of the diamond" for Il score OF
years and more. l have studied it and watched
the best clubs in the U. S. play over and over again
and knowing what am talking about, l am
ready to say that can take the catcher off of this
team that was to be annihiated to-day land if he
gets a finger hurt little he will not want to lie
down on the ground near the women and cry, and
say 81 will tell my mamma on you,') and l will
take about four more saw on his team and hire

a team of the town-oh city (?) pure and simple
will match the visitors that they think they van

To say nothing about the ~, any one who knows
anything about base ball knows that a club that

field was clear took their places on the

move was to captivate the umpire and
after getting him hypnotized it was an
easy matter for them to win from the
subs who took the opposing side.

The platform contains several good
planks which were adopted after the
standing prohibition plank was put in
place, with the cart before the horse i'll
that plank. One delegate proposed
consulting with the Peoples party looking
towards fusion or alliance of some kind
which brought Tucker to his feet at once
with stormy protest. While such scatter
brains as Tucker are allowed to boss the
party it will stay just where 1t is. Those
who fuse with the Peoples party how
ever will have to vote with it without
asking permission of any other party.
