A Marvellous Change.
"What change" says the novelist, "onc
little woman can make in mans life. Yes"
replies victim, "and what lot Of change
she requires while doing it," But what
women are most interested IN is the change
they can make in their own lives by the use
of DR.. Picrcc's Favorite Prescription. 1t
changes them from poor weak and suffering
creatures to beings whose lives are filled
with pleasure and enjoyment. 1t does this
by removing the many painful maladics pc
culiar to women, such Us dragging down
pains, sensations of nausea, backache and
the long train of ills from which the sex sui.
fers. To those about to become mothers 1t
is a boon, for it lessons the pains and pcrils
of childbirth, shortens labor, promotes the
the secretion ofan abundance of nourishmcnt
for the child and shortens the period Of con.
finemcnt.
COACHING PARTy.-On Monday evening
last, chapcroned by Mr.. and Mrs. JOS Doug.
lass, twenty. one young ladies and gentlemen
of Frederick City were driven to Thurmont
in one of Mr. fl. G. Zacharias' handsome
coaches, stopping at the Gilbert House where
supper awaited them. They were merry
party and seemingly were out for an enjoy
able time, yet more dccorous and quietly
pleasant company of young folks one could
no. desire. 1t was their intention to have
enjoyed the view from Mr.. Shpley's obser-
vatory, but they arrived here too late and
were compelled to forcgo that pleasure,
They started on the return trip about 10
O'Clock p. m. Following are the names Of
the members of the party Mrs. Jos. Doug
lass, Misses Medora Mantz, Maggie Mantz,
Katie Buckley, Tina Wachtcr, Minnie Doll,

REoRG ANIzED-Thc term of service OF
Messrs Samuel Dutrow and Jos. b. Brown
having expired as members of the Board of
School Commissioners, Gov. Lowndcs ap-
pointed as their successors, Messrs l.. F..
Kcfauycr and s. Amos Urner. The Board
reorganized on Tuesday of last week: it being
q tie politically, an agreement was effected
whereby MIR. Ezra r Zimmerman was chosen
president; Mr.. E l. Boblitz retained as Sec
rotary, treasurer and examiner and Mr.. s..
N. Young of Middletown succeeds assistant
secretary Holtz.
The people of the county are to be congrat.
ulated upon the prospect Of MI admirable
administration OF public school affairs; while
President Dutrow was an earnest and eff.
cicnt Official, Mr.. Zimmerman will we believe
fill the place as ably, intclligcntly and earn.
estly. AS to the retaining of Examiner
Boblitz, they would have experienced some
difficulty in securing another officer to give
the painstaking and intelligent care to the
duties Of that position, that it has received
at Mr.. Boblitz' hands. AS to Mr.. Youngs
qualification to fill the place Of efficient Mr..
Holtz, he being a stranger to us, we are not
advised; but we haye confidence in the wis.
dom Of the Board; it has likely chosen well
in this instance too.
VERY WARM-Bcginningw with "wednesday
of last week the thermometer has mounted
away up in the nincties daily. The highest
reported here was on Sunday at the W. M.
railroad station, 107 degrees, but as it has a
southern exposure, while in the shade of the
projecting roof, it is affected largely by the
reflected heat from the broad platform that
one at Mr.. John Roots is fairly located and
it registered SO degrees on Friday afternoon
at $50 o'clock. AS a rule breeze has rem
dcred the heat less intolerable and at night
no one has suffered unless very unfavorably
placed. There have been no cases of sun
stroke in this section, although in several in
stances men were compelled to quit their
work.
The torrid wave has rolled over the entire
country east of the Rocky Mountans it
came from an area of high barometer on the
southeastern coast, that is, a mountain Of
hot air that has flowed northward into sew
eral areas of low barometer that have fol-
lowed close upon each other along the nor
them or Canada border. Relief from this
can come only by the appearance of an area
of high barometer to the northwar1 or by q
fall in the barometric pressure to the south
ward. While the heat has been extreme in
Baltimore City and deadly, yet the record
was not broken; in fact the highest point
reached, 90 degrees, was three degrees short
of the record, 1902 IN July 1887.
