A Mania for Bridge Building.

Our County Commissioners appear to
have an irrepressible penchant for bnild-
ing bridges The following appears in
last weeks Wing.
The intention of the County Commits
sioners to build bridges at Besties run,
Bull Frog run, Charlestown run, Now
lands run, and Elkton, at the Scott
Fertilizer Works has aroused the oppos-
ition of a considerable number of tax
payers who regard the work as unneces-
sary and the expense injudicious, DIR. c.
M. Ellis, of Elkton, representing an as
ISOLATION of taxpayers of importance on
Monday morning filed an appeal in the
Commissioners Office against the building
of the bridges by the county, they be-
lieving that the structures were unneces-
sary and an injudicious expense.

A New Social Feature.

The Elkton Oriole Tennis Club
had planned to give a tennis tea in
honor of the "Luncheon Club" on
Saturday afternoon but owing to
the damp weather it was impos-
sible to hold it ON the grounds,
and instead it was held at the
residence of DR.. j. HI. lamar.
This is worth initiating by other
associations, and would greatly
enhance the interest in such move
ments.

F. N. |. Commencement.

The twenty first annual COM
mencement exercises of the Friends
Normal Institute were held in the
school building ON Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evenings of
last week. On Wednesday even
ing Mrs. Mary Way of Oxford de-
livered an address to the gradual
ing class. On Thursday evening DR..
Hull of Swarthmore College gave
an interesting lecture on the
beauties of Venice, her former
power and greatness and her pre-
sent decay and squaler of her
people. The lecturer warned the
young people in his closing words
to beware or such a fate would
overtake this republic, which is
moving on the same line under
conditions somewhat changed, that
has left the Queen of Adriatic a
melancholy spectacle of deathly
grandeur. A rustic farmer re-
marked after the lecture: "Why
didn't he tell us what was the cause
of the blight which fell upon the
republic of Venice and how to
avoid it 2" On Friday evening
the commencement exercises
proper took place. The following
graduates delivered essays: Miss
Lorraine Fassitt, ''The Antiquity of
Man and his Inventions" Miss
Lulu Jenkins, 'The Call of Duty"
Miss Alma Keilholtz, elements
of Success in Life" Miss Carrie
Kirk, "Woman's Sphere in the
World;" Miss Marion Sheppard,
'"The Influence of Education on
Government Miss Keilhotz re-
ceived the honor of having the
valedictory essay. All the essays
were creditable productions, but
because of the dense throng and
all the windows being open, those
in the rear of the room were unable
to hear them as distinctly as was
desired. VIM. w. Bryan delivered
the presentation speech and made
many happy hits. E. r. Buffing-
ton made very pleasing address
to the fair graduates and awarded
the diplomas. He also presented
the gold medal to the fortunate con-
testant, Miss Della Kirk, who had
obtained the highest average for
scholarship for the year. The con-
test for the medal was between Miss
Kirk and Miss Katie Clifford and
was so close that it was necessary
to carry the percentage into deci-
mails to determine the winner, Miss
Kirk receiving an average Of 97.95
and Miss Clifford 97.7S.
Prof. Bowers made a brief closing
address, In which he stated that
both he and Prof. Tinsley were
highly pleased with the reception
accorded them by the patrons of
the school during the past year,
and that it was their intention to
return in the fall and exert every
effort to make the school a success.
A medal and additional prizes are
promised for next year, as an in
centive for the best possible work
from the students.

''Sixth-Christian endeavor stands
always and everywhere for Christ and
Christians. 1t is forever opposed to
the saloon, the gambling den, the

stands for temperance, for the law,
for order, for Sabbath keeping, for a
pure political atmosphere-in a word,
for righteousness; and this it does, not
by allying itself with political party,
but by attempting, through the quick
conscience of its individual members

Harvey's attorney argued for a
dismissal, but Judge Kerr stated
that 1T was one of the most fragrant
cases of cruelty that had yet come
under his observation. He was very
sorry Harvey's companion had not
also been brought before him. Har-
vey was sentenced to ninety days
in the workhouse.
George Anderson, another young
fellow who with companion hired
a rig and drove the same distance
which was driven by Harvey and his

driven to death at that, was also
arraigned on the same charge, and
fined $50 or sixty days in the work

DR.. White has family in this city.
Nothing was heard to pass between
the two men to denote the nature
of their quarrel. DR.. White was ar
rested and locked up, and on adj
vice of his counsel he will make no
statement. The Commercial Appeal
tomorrow will say the details of the
terrible affair involve young wom-
