The E. L. Needle Social.

On the evening of Friday, March
6, 1896, the young ladies of the
Epworth League of st. PauPs M.
E. church, gave a social to num-
Der of their friends, which was a
most enjoyable affair, and pronoun-
ced TO be A No. 1. The social was
held in Sturgiss' Hall, which was
prettily decorated for the occasion
with flags, potted plants, etc.
An excellent musical and literary
program was rendered to the de-
light Of the audience. Amusements
of several kinds were provided for
the guests, chief amongst them
being the progressive needle
threading,'' which game was par
ticipated in by about fifteen coup
les. The lucky pair who had the
greatest number of needles on their
strand of thread at the end of the
given time, were Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Malette, on whom the prize "a
box of fine French candies) was
bestowed.
Refreshments were served, con-
sisting of cake, coffee, caramels and
lemonade, all Of which were album
dant and of the best quality.
The young ladies who had charge
of the entertainment were Misses
Daisy Harne, Nellie Sturgiss and
Alice Kepner. Much credit is due
these ladies for the success of the
social, and their guests, one and
all, fully appreciated their kindness
and courtesy in extending to them
so delightful an entertainment.

To the Editor Of The Republican.
1t may seem rather early to bring
the question of our next Congress-
man to the attention of your many
readers, but | do not think it early
when we consider that the field is
open for new material this fall.
Garrett county never had man
nominated for that position, but We
believe that we have the very oest
material in our mldst-one especi-
ally who is clean in every respect
and who would command the full
and popular vote Of the Republican
party throughout the entire dis
trict.
believe we haye such a man in
the person of Dr.. j. Lee McComas,
a man whom the Republicans of
Garrett county could and would be
proud of and one who would be
fully qualified to fill the high office
with honor and credit to his con-
stituency.
l hope the people of the county
will look favorably upon the gen.
tleman named above and give their
best efforts looking to his nomina-
ton. A REPUBLICAN.

mind became affected, but at times
he was perfectly rational. Saturday

Grand jury Report,

10 the honorable the Judge of the Circuit
Court for Garrett county.
We, the grand inquest of the
State of Maryland for the body of
Garrett county, respectfully beg
leave to make the following report:
We have discharged the duties in
cumbent upon us as grand jurors
by examining all witnesses sent be-
fore us, making presentments in all
cases where we considered the evil
dence sufficient and by dismissing
without unnecessary delay all wit
nesses as soon as might be after
their testimony had been received.
We have visited the jail and ex-
amined it carefully. The present
building is lacking both in provid-
ing for the security of prisoners and
in regard to its sanitary arrange
ments, but we are at loss to recon-
mend any radical change to the pre-
sent building. We would, however,
strongly advise the County Commits
sioners to at once provide some simple
and Inexpensive manner of thorough
ventilation by the use of some for
ced draught, provided by means of
a fan run by naptha engine or by
wind power. This power would
pump water into tank for general
use. We would advise the substitu-
ton of six electric lights in said
Jail in place of the oil lamps now
used. and that these lights be kept
burning all night; the putting on of
a new lock upon the front door of
the jail and that the window sashes
be renewed. The jail was in good
order and as clean as it is possible
for the Sheriff to keep it under the
present conditions.
The sanitary condition of the
court room and the jury room is
very bad and we would recommend
that these rooms be thoroughly ven
tilated from floor to ceiling by use
of the same power which should pro-
vide ventilation to the Jail.
1t is our belief that both these rec
concentrations could be carried out
at comparatively small expense to
the county and that it would be a
great relief to the court and to all
witnesses who are obliged to at
tend.
We, the grand jurors, recommend
that no license to sell spurious or
fermented liquors in Garrett county
be issued by the Clerk of the Cir
cult Coart to Owen Reynolds or to
John Noon, tn y being in our opin-
ion not proper persons to engage in
that business.
Having completed our labors so
far as we know, we now ask to be
discharged.

Foreman.

When our stormy voyage is DER.

In the Fathers house above,
Where there is no pain nor parting
But where all is peace and love.

The concert given in the Methodist
Church of this city last Wednesday even
ing, was one of the best entertainments
OF that character (if moi the besi), thai
has ever been given here. Mrs. Agnes
Thomson sang with that perfection OF
vocal training which made it appear nat
ural and without effort, and with a sweet
pure voice. Mr. James Fitch Thorn
sons voice was a rich powerful baritone,
highly cultivated, and well adapted either
to classical compositions or ballad sing
ing. As an artist he stands among the
best Mr. Henri Err, the violin soloist,
charmed all by his playing. His style
was quite out of the beaten track Of violin
virluoses, and was both pleasing and sur
prising. Mr.. Charles w. Rielzel, the
violoncelist, was also delightful player,
bringing out the rich, smooth tones of his
delightful instrument in some fine selec-
tions. Mrs Elizabeth Rietzel, the accom-
PIANIST, performed her somewhat thankless
and hard task in way that was deserv-
ing of applause, even il she did not get 1t.
The Epworth League realized nice
little sum by this entertainment.
