All HallOWS Rector.
Rev. John Morgan, of Ashland,
Pa. What Ashland
People Think Of Him.

One Of Gods best gifts to a com
munity Is the gift of good men. 1t is
always with regret therefore that we
part with those who have labored to
promote the happiness aud welfare Of
our people. The clergymen, as a
class, are among our most valuable
and useful citizens We regret to an
announce their resignation and de
parturc from our midst. Two Of our
well known ministers are about TO
sever their connections with their con-
greeations here, and enter upon a
larger sphere OF work.
One of them, rector of st. Johns
Episcopal Church, the Rev 5. j.
Morgan, will preach his last sermon
here at the close Of the present year.
Rev. Morgan has accepted a call to the
oldest, and one of the best known
parishes in the State Of Maryland
All TIallows parish was organized in
1892, on the Eastern Shore, by the
early Colonial settlers. The building
material, brick, lime, glass, etc, was
brought over from England, and the
original parish church is still in fine
state of preservation. The interior of
the venerable and sacred edfice has
recently been renewed and refurnished
at cost of $4,000
Rev. Mr.. Morgan received the
unanimous call of the Nestry, and was
chosen out of large number of can
didates, whose names had been sent in
for the position. We are not surprised
at this, for those of us who have listened
To his excellent discourses, and marked
the success which has attended his
labors here and at Tamaqua, during
the past year, have often feared that
soon larger and more fortunate
parish would entice him away. 1t is
due TO Mr.. Morgan, however, to say
that he is not actuated by mercinary
motives i'll making this change, since
he will receive a much smaller salary
in his new fed, for the first wear.
But other considerations, particularly
the advantage Of warmer climate,
have led him to take this step.
We congratulate the people of All
Hallows parish, Maryland, on securing
the services OF rector so thoroughly
competent and so warmly esteemed as
Rev. Mr. Morgan. We voice the
sentiments of all our people and espe-
cially of St. Johns Church, and CON
when we say We regret the
departure of Mr.. Morgan and his
estimablc wife, and wish for them
much success in their new field of
labor-.i<himd, Pa, Ercnjng TEE

\ Noble Son of Worcester.

In September, 1892, there matric-
ulated at the Wilmington Conference
Academy Il young man from Stockton,
Worcester county, Md, who, actuated
by desire for classical education,
came 20 the school to SEX the coveted
rrizea b. dint OF hsed study and
persistent AnrA he sooa%howed him
self To be the equal, not the peer of
any of bis classmates intellectually and
won for himself the beb esteem and
implicit confidence OF both the faculty
and students.
Throughout his four years course AT
the Academy, he has held an envia
BILE reputation rs student In the
classroom his work has been Of very
high order; in the Literary Society
he is leading spirit. doing much by
his efforts to uphold the excellent
forensic reputation Of the school, and
in fraternity circles he is prominent
because of his wonderful ability To
advocate the lasting principles OF
friendship Not only is he preeminent
in these respects. but in athletics he is
an adept. He has played at tackle
and end on the foot ball eleven for
several years and is an earnest ag-
gressive man on the gridiron. In
baseball he is one of the best players
OF the school and is Mt home in almost
any position on the diamond, being
especially brilliant as a pitcher, catcher

also one Of the foremost tennis players

Wilmington Conference Academy been
given to one more deserving OF the
honor it signifies than the subject of
this sketch. When the battle OF right
against wrong are waging fiercely, and
when the fruits of cultured brain and
christian heart are everywhere in de
mand, no man will be more ready to
enter the contest on the side of right
and to furnish the necessary equip
ments for warfare than James w.

CHRISTrIAS ROWS.

Thus far the Christmas HOLIDAYS
have been quiet in Snow Hill, there
being less rowdyism than usual on
these occasions There were few dis
turbances, but none resulting seriously.
The first disturbance occurred on
Christmas eve. while RobIey Riggin
and number OF young men and boys
were having big time shooting fire
crackers. They were stopped in the
midst OF their fun by the throwing Of Il
brick in the crowd. 1t went with such
force n to knock down Riegin, with
whose head it came in contact I'm
mediate inquiry aud search revealed
the fact that Joe Coving,on. Young
colored man, was the guilty party, and
he was brought to trial. While squire
Rowley was issuing n commitment for
Covingt0n a large number of Higgins
friends gathered around the office door.
This, 1t Is supposed, so enraged the
colored mans friends that one Of them
threw brick in the crowd. Fortu-
nate Y no one was struck, but unfortu-
nately for Mr.. 0. d. Collins the brick
passed through one Of the large plate
glass window Of his building and broke
It into a thousand pieces. Covington
was committed and search was made
for the man who threw the last brick.
He has not vet been found. When he
is he will get his Just deserts.
Later on, in the evening a crowd Of
colored men and boys bent on a good
time" collected near the river bridge.
In the crowd was Charles Spencer,
who it appears had previously been
ordered out of the electric light station
and is said to have made threats
against Hampton Nickers. Jr., the
keeper of the station. Nickers was
standing in the station door watching
the antics of the crowd, when pistol
was fired by someone and the ball
skinned across his breast and buried
itself into his arm. A still hunt was
made for the would-be murderer and
after an hours search sufficient evidence
was secured to cause the arrest OF
Spencer, and he was lodged IN jail.
This is about the extent of the disturb
ances; we are glad 10 learn that Wick
ers is now able to attend TO hiswork.

professional politicians and their famil- far attendants At no time was the moderate size of the state house of rep resentatives taxed for room for either delegates or spectators. The convention, for all moral effect in national politics, is confessed failure.
 There was nothing new in the speech es. Barren sophistry transparent illu- sion, hackneyed quotations, trite tru- isms made up their substance. As for the resolutions, it is enough to name the omr1ittee-Election Commissioner Kee- nan, Senator c. P. Johnson, Alderman P. J. Wall. Senator Mahoney, Roger c. Sullivan Richard Michaelis and J. w. Lanehart. How much such a. committee knows. collectively or individually, about the science of the monetary sytem, 1t would not take long to tell. The mem- bers doubtless feel greatly obliged to the accommodating authors of the resolu- tions for saving them from any cate chism on the subject upon which they nominally reported"
 The father of the convention folly, MT. Hinrichsen, was candid enough to ad- init that the action of the convention does not bind the delegates to the na tional convention of 1896" This as- surance was quite unnecessary. It binds no one, not even the foolish men who participated in it. The intelligent and honest in their number will be found in due time among the advocates of sound bimetallism and honest money.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-06-08

Referring to the address on American Citizenship" delivered by Postmaster GeneralWilson at the commencement ex- ercises of the University of Mississippi, wherein he declared that he longed "to see the South again in National leader- ship" the Philadelphia Record says that should that day come 1t would be a new South, freed of fts cheap money notions, divorced from it's antipathy to capital unfettered by it's insular ideas. It will be well to keep in mind, however that when ancestry is taken into considera- tion, the South is today the most truly American section of the United States, The blood of it's whites has run in the one channel since colonial days. The other States have been largely built up by for egn immigration since the formation of the Union. The armies of the North had a large proportion of men of alien birth. The Confederates were almost entirely of American birth and of a line of Ameri- can ancestry. One reason why the South today exerts such force in Congress is that she sends her best men to the front and these possess the heritage of Ameri- can descent. Postmaster-General Will sons hopes for the South do credit to his heart"
