BILL.
Mr.. Merrill Again Attempts to Bring
Up the House Measure, But Five
Republicans and Five POpu-

OcratS in 0pp0-
Sition.

WAsmINGroN. Feb. 25. There was quite an
animated scene in the Senate to-day over the
second attempt to have the House tariff bill
taken up ior consideration. Notwithstanding
the defeat of that proposition on the 18th of
February, by II vote II to 20. Mr. Morrill, (ltep,
VT chairman Of the Finance Committee, felt
it his duty to renew the attempt: but the
motion was defeated to day by still larger
maiority-22 to 33. The Democratic votes
were all against the motion; and they were
backed bv the votes OF five Republican Sena-
tors -AIessrs. Cannon. OF Utah Carter and
Mantle OF Montana; Dubois of Idaho and
Teller of Colorado: and by the votes of five
Populists-Messrs Allen of Nebraska; Jones
and Stewart Of Nevada Kyle of South Da-
kota. and PETER of Kansas.
After the announcement OF tine vote, Mr..
Morrill, stated that he would make no further
attempt to get up tho bill; that il was hope

obvious that the Republican party was IN Il
minority in tho Senate Mr.. Morriifs re-

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY,
Banner Council 0. U. A. M, Of Calvert,
ErectS Flags With Appropriate
Ceremony.

Banner Council, No. II o. L. A. NJ. of
Calvert celebrated Washington's birthday in
manner designed to show their patriotism
and loyalty to one justly called 1.-The first in
war, the first in peace and tho first in the
hearts OF the people, They first visited
Cherry Grove school house where they
hoisted large flag upon the pole which had
been erected on the building for its reception.
Fhe chairman Hon. Webster White introduced
the orator of the day Rev. A. P. Pretty.
man who presented the flag to the school in
stirring and patriotic speech. He paid
"A glowing tribute to the memory of Washing
ton 1.-The Father of his Country and uu-
held the principles of the order, Industry,
Honesty and Sobriety. He spoke in scathing
terms of the privilege extended to all classes of
foreigners to come 10 our fair country. The
flag was accepted in behalf of the school by
Rev. Amos Brown in brief speech right to
the poilt The pupils of the school under
the careful charge of Miss Lizzie Paul added
much to the program. An essay entitled The
Flag of Our Country" by one of the pupils
was a well written paper.
The school with Miss Gertrude Clifford at
the organ aided by the choir Of Calvert
Church furnished music for the occasion.
The last act was the presenting of fine plush
robe to Rev. a. 7. Prettyman By chairman
Webster White in behalf Of Banner Council.
This was genuine surprise to the recip-
lent who arose and thanked the mem
bers for this handsome and useful present.
From there, they proceeded to Calvert where
they erected pole and ioated Il large flag to
the breeze in front of the Council Hall.
Addresses were made by Rev. E. p. Bald
win OF CIaymont. Del; Mr. Russell. OF Ok
ford. and A. p. Prettyman, Of Zion. They
each exalted the noble character OF the
warrior. Statesman and Citizen without
Reproach." and then praised the worthy
work of the o. L. A. NJ. Especially did they
commend the idea of placing flags upon
schools; thus early instiling love Of country
in the hearts Of the soon to be citizens. Prof.
Collins, Of oxford here assisted with the
music by rendering two humorous song that
caused considerable laughter.
The exercises closed with an oyster supper
held in Rosebank Hall in the evening.
Great credit ought to be extended to the
Council for the excellent program rendered
50 appropriate to this occasion. No one
could engage i'll more laudable pursuit
than that OF generating the memory Of the
good and great George Washington and in
maintaining our schools free from sec:arian
interference, ard with ''Old Glory proudly
floating over them.

A GOOD START
For University Extension in Elkton The
First Lecture was Success and
the Attendance Good.

The University Extension course began
auspiciously in Elkton on Monday evening.
when the first of the series of six lectures on
1.-THE Poetry of the Nineteenth Century was
delivered in Odd Fellows Hall, by Stockton
Axson, NJ. A., staff lecturer on literature.
Mr. Axsons subject was the life and work of
the poet Wordsworth and his effort was
scholarly and entertaining to the one hundred
and fifty persons present. 1t was a good
start. and the promoters of the scheme were
highly gratificd at the interest taken by the
Elkton people-who to tell the truth are
generally too conservative in entering with
spirit into such public enterprises. But
Monday night went to show that Elkton is
all right in this particular, and great benefits
are looked forward to from university ex-
tension
Mr.. Axson's plan at once commends Itself.
1t is practical and cooperative between lee
turer and hearers. As he stated on Monday
evening at the conclusion Of his talk-My aim
in the lecture is to open n line of work. to
interest you in literature and have you fol-
low it out by home reading and study. The
lecture Of itself can but be incomplete so
that university extension can be successful
only when the members of the class take up
the work themselves il conjunction with the
lecture.
After the lecture-a quiz is held, in which
the members are privileged to make such in
quiries or enter upon such discussions as they
may see fit. suggestion made by Mr..
Axson was that the members of the class
meet him for an hour previous to his stated
lectures and talk over the subject under con-
sideration. This was heartily accepted, and
the class will meet him at four o'clock ON
Monday afternoon next, in the School Com
missioners room, Court House, when Byron
will be the author considered.
Five lectures will be yet delivered in this
series. as follows Monday March 2nd,
Bryon: Monday, March 9th. Shelley: Monday,
March 10Th, Browning; Monday March 23rd, =,
Brownings Philosophy: Monday March 30th.
Tennyson. All the lectures will be delivered
in Odd Fellows Hall, at eight o'clock.
For the benefit of those who wish to obtain
copies Of the poems Of the authors treated in
the lectures. the committee announces that
arrangement have been made by which copies
may be obtained at very reasonable rate.
