QUOTATIONS FROM 4 GUIDE BOOK
Every climate in the world is
represented between Vera Cruz on
the sea coast and the City of
Mexico.
The shape of Mexico is that of
A cornucopia with the big enc
toward The United States, and
there is naught for us to do but
to pour out its treasures of CHI
mate, scenic beauty, antiquity and
numerical wealth for our delecta-
ton and to the prosperity of its
people and ours.
Mexico possesses a curious phys
ical formation. A succession of
terraces rising rapidly from the
coasts on the east and west culmi-
nate in a vast table land. covering
nearly three-fourths of the area of
country. This plateau has an ele-
vation CT 1000 to 5000 feet above
the sea. High above this table land
tower the snowclad crests of many
volcanoes, ten Of which are over
II. 900 feet high. while over all
stand the giant peaks of Orizaba
and Popccatapetl, over 1900 feet
in height.
Mexico has Justly been named
the LAND of Flowers" the most
striking characteristic being their
deep rich color and great size.
The people themselves-not the
the upper ten, who dress acco' ding
to European fashion, but the oldest
inhabitants, who trace their lineage
to the ancient Toltec and Aztec
races-are a grave, dark people of
gentle manners. Their ssndaled
feet. white garments and bright
wrappings, the low, fiat rooted
houses with over-hanging veran-
das, their many fountains where
the maideus gather 70 Eli their
water jars; their arched ways and
courts, all speak of the East. The
great resemblance between this
country and the Orient is a con-
slant surprise. For the outside
world there is the blank wall. the
grated window and the barred
door; inside, for the household, is
the sunny courtyard, gay with
fountains and flowers, large open
arches. throwing grateful shad rs
over vast, cool rooms; the cordial
family life withits treasures hidden
from the gazc II the multitude.
Street carriers crying their
wares; fruit sellers with great trays
of unknown, luscious sweetness
on their heads; water carriers with
eaythen Jars slung across the backs
of shaggy donkeys; the strange
soft tones Of foreign tongues

A Surprise to a Minister.

Reported for the Democratic Advocate
Rev. II. j. Macalister, pastor of Carroll
Charge, and his family, were most agreeably
surprised on Saturday evening, January %,
by an unexpected visit from large number
of the members and friends of the congrega-
ton of st. Matthew'S Reformed Church,
Pleasant Valley.
These invaded the parsonage in a body,
laden down with an abundant supply of good
things of every description, including meats,
vegetables, fruits and groceries, while the
corn-crib was at the same time most literally
replenished. The ladies took possession of
the diningroom and refreshments, which they
had also provided. were served. With music,
and an address by the pastor, and in other
ways, a very enjoyable evening was passed,
and at late hour the company returned to
their homes, happy over their visit, and leav-
ing the family to the no little task of finding
places in which to bestow the generous con-
tributions they had received. Among those
present and those also who not being able to
attend were yet represented in their gifts,
were Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. P Yingling, Mr. and
Mrs. Vim. Bowers, Mr.. and Mrs. David
Frock, Mr.. and Mrs. Z. C. Yingling. Mr..
and Mrs W. +. Sullivan. Mr.. and Mrs. Levi
Myers, Mr.. and Mrs. John Ditch, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Utz, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred. Myers;
Misses Kate Warehime, Clara Myers, Della
Powell, BERTHE Bowers, Fannie Geiman and
Bessie Frock; Messrs. John Lawyer, Edward
Geiman, Harry Myers, Tobias Yingling,
Aaron Lester, Herbert Myers, Clayton Gel
man and Joseph Hahn.
We would here add that the pastors family
was also kindly remembered few weeks pre-
vious by the Jerusalem congregation of Bach
mans Valley, who had arranged for visit of
the same character, but, being prevented by
the weather, day or two later sent to the
parsonage wagon load of substantials and
Injuries for the table.

The town still growing west, in 1868 an
effort was made to start a hook and ladder
company in the west end, but as such howl
was raised by the older citizens, the project
was abandoned for time. After several dis
astrous fires, the old department was reorgan-
lied on New Years night, 1879. Land was
bought, and the department was incorporated
in February, 1879. The name given by the
charter was the Westminster Fire Engine and
Hose Company, No. l. The old howl was
again raised by the older citizens, and some
talked of laying an injunction TO stop the
organization, but as the men were recruited
from among the most solid business men, the
boys were prepared to fight fires two years
before any did occur. The first president
under the reorganization was DIR. w. II. Rip
pard, who was succeeded by w. l.. Sea-
brook, and the next president was Oscar ID.
Gilbert The present incumbent is Edwin j.
Lawyer, who was one of the reorganizers Of
the department. is president of the Veteran
Firemens Association of Westminster, and is
also president of the Maryland State Fire
mems Association.
The department has fifty active members, a
hook and ladder truck, four chemical eXtin-
guishers, three hose carriages, and plenty of
hose. In addition to this, there are two other
hose houses in different parts of the town. As
there is strong water pressure there is no
need for engines.
The officers of the department are :-Presi-
dent, f. J. Lawyer; vice presidents, NJ. j.
Lynch and j. H. Mitten; secretary and treas
urer, A. w. Hahn; assistant secretary, Arthur
F. Smith; chief. Frank X. Herr; assistant
chief, Frank I. Shaeffer; marshal, Joseph d.

SHIPLEY ITEMS.
Dedication of a Church other Items.

Sunday was an exceedingly interesting oc-
easion for the congregation Of Zion Methodist
Protestant Church, at Shipley. The cause
was the conservation to divine ship OF the
church edifice, which was erected several
years age, but was not dedicated because OF
an Indebtedness of about $500, which had
proved heavy burden.
1t is a neat little structure and cost 81 500.
A few months ago a final effort was made to
secure subscriptions, and resulted so success
fully that the last dollar of Indebtedness had
been liquidated. The dedcatory service was
held Sunday afternoon, and was real jubilee.
Rev. DIR. }. I. Ward president of Westmin-
ster Theological Seminary, preached the
sermon on the occasion. Rev. George W..
Honey, the pastor; Rev. VIM. A. Grouse, a
former pastor, and Rev. A. d. Melvin, OF
Westminster, were present, and assisted in
the exercises.
The services were continued at night, when
Rev. A. ID. Melvin preached to large con-
gregation. The church forms part of the
Deer Park Circuit.
The solicitors in behalf of the church,
Nessrs. Grove J. Shipley, Elias G. Shipley
an1 Grove |. Easton, made such good use of
their time as to procure all but $500 of the
$500, reg lired by the day of dedication.

Local Political Notes.

The Sentinel thinks that the Republicans
who give the ADVOCATE political items are
not well informed. The statement made
everybody laugh, for everybody knows that
the Sentinel is not on either band-wagon,
though it thinks it plays the drum on the Cla-
baugh-Sharrer rattletrap.
Carroll county delegates to the Republican
State convention will be at Mr.. Wellington's
disposal. Clabaugh and Sharrer, finding
they could not bust the Wellington band
wagon, got up on it.
Boss Lippy is not making much fuss about
it, but he is doing as much effective work as
the most of them. He is well known to Gov
Lowndes, and it is said be has pull with
the Governor.
1t is said that many Democrats in Baltimore
county are looking to Senator Herring as the
best man to lead the fight for Congress next
fall. With DR.. Herring as the Democratic
candidate Baltimore county will give an old
fashion Democratic majority of about 1900.
Carroll, Cecil and Hartford would all roll up
good majorities for Herring.
