The subject of this tribute was born of

The life of this es'imable lady has been

and reality were some other characteristics.
She always regarded life as having in il a
real purpose. Therefore, all along lis oath.
way, she has sought outwhere she might
do good and comfort as well as bless those
about her.
Her parents were conscientious members
Of the Catholic Church, with which church
she early in life associated herself She re.
ceived her first communion at st. Inipo's
May 81, 1852, by Rev. Thomas Lilly, ard
lived life thoroughly in accord with the
teachings of said church. After her mar.

esteemed members. She had five children
who call her blessed, three of whom sur

None have known the real worth of q ten

whom God gave her, the patter ofwhose tiny
feet and the first lisu az their infant voice
gave 30 lls.ht AID happiness 10 the
heart of the tender mother who now sleeps
beneath the sod to await the resurrection
of the just The pride of her life was her
family. How carefully has she watched
over and guarded the lives of her children
through childhood, youth, man and wo.
manhood, until she saw all five of them
grown and comfortably situated in life,
four of whom married. And in that it
gives the writer pleasure to say they reflect
credit upon the mother who trained them.
Her eldest daughter, Mrs. ]. w. Latham,
whose life was q beautiful one, died some
four years ago at the early age of 80, the
first death in this happy family, and their
grief was great
Her grandchildren have been burden
Of love with her. Oh, how anxious
she was about their welfare, how careful
she watched over them, how earnestly she
desired TO see them grow up TO be useful
men and women, how she sough; their
comfort, their pleasure and happiness, and
with what eagerness had she pointed out

Allegany county.

of Wicomico county.
Mr.. Lowndes, the candidate for
Governor, was nominated by accla-
nation, Mr.. VIM. L. Master, his
only formidable opponent with
drawing in his favor. The conven.
ton went wild with enthusiasm and
much excitement prevailed.
The platform adopted speaks in
favor of reassessment and urges the
speedy adoption of an amendment
to the State constitution which
shall be an effectual Limitation upon

Tuesdays Pow.wow.

Democrats from nearly every hundred of the
county were In Leonardtown Tuesday last and
there was "a general interchange of views. The
immediate cause of the gathering was to I'D
wise with the Central Committee as to the most
oppoItune time for holding the primary for
nominating n county ticket. The consensus
OF opinion favored an early call, and the eth OF
September next was the day fixed upon. The
call appears In to-day's BEACON.
OF course, on such an occasion general poll
ties was discussed, and many times the ques-
tion was asked how about the State Ticket
No man of Democratic Affiliations, whom we
heard speak or heard OF speaking, but prcfes-
sed his intention of voting for Hurst and the
ticket. Many said the opposition of the Balti-
more Sun would weaken Mr.. Hurst. but when
asked IL they knew or had heard of a single
Democrat who, because of the Suns courses
would refuse To support Hurst or the ticket,
invariably answered, that they neither knew
nor heard of one.''
The county ticket was talked of also, and the
necessity was urged OF mutual concessions for
the sake of harmony and party success. II
was conceded that IA ticket representative OF
the opposing factions OF the party should be
namc'l and all should join together and elect
It, The proposed basis of agreement was a di-
vision of the ticket between the heretofore
contcnding elements. There was little said
and nothing urged 10y anyone against the re-
nomination of the present incumbcnts on the
Orphans Court bench and for the States At
torncyship-those positions apparently not en-
tering into the calculations. Indeed, there was
no attempt made to name ticket, that duty
being left where II properly belUngs-with the
people IL was simply agreed that the losing
side In recent primaries be urged TO centre
upon u strong, able man as a candidate for the
House of Delegates aud to name a good and
popular nominee for County Commissioner.
Nothing was said about the Sheriffalty-appli-
cants being already in the field for that nomi-
nation.
There were marplots on hand, too, who OPP
posed this prefer of Cancellation. but the large
majority seemed actuated by an honest encea-
vor to get together. aud when the party comes
ont to the primary it may be trusted to do what
Is right
Tho primary is called. II is now incum-
bent upon the party to turn out and

Old grudges between prominent Democrats

believing that WRuld prejudice the case
against Woodside.
Mr.. Sankey had prepared to send his
Grafton as ordered by the state commit
tee but he yielded to the appeal of the
normal and declined to do so.
The result is that if Mr.. Woodside is
not allowed to enter the contest there
will be no orator from Kansas.
There is precedent for the admission
of normal orator but there is decided
sentiment against it among the colleges
which is likely to prevail.
