TOUR ABOUT TOWN

The irony Of fate has been illustrated
by the death Of Pennsylvania officer
who survived sixty.three battles of the
war, but knocked down by bicycle,
receiving injuries from which he died.

Wonderful how the days are length

IL was still as dark ''as the inside of an

reasonably light at 5:15, and fifteen
minutes later the day is fairly broken.

end, too. Instead OF Lighting up" in

The dismissal of several Providence

Hon. John G. Woolley, who is shortly
to lecture Mt the Auditorium in the in
terest of the Prohibition party, caused
something of q sensation in Washington
last evening. While making an address
at the First Congregational Church Mr.
Woolley made the remark that "the
Stars and Stripes were paraded as a
Mckinley badge in the late campaign,
aud that some Of the old Generals
looked like picture in q panorama. I"
This was trife more than his hearers
could stand, and several people, whom
it is presumed were of strong Republi-
can tendencies left the church. The
truth is annoying to many people, and
the well-known evangelist was not very
wide of the mark in his opinion.

Death of Rev. A. T. TAYLOR.

Rev. Alfred Upton Taylor, of Baltimore,
who came to this city about three weeks ago
and was under the treatment of DIR. d. f.
Shipley, at his residence, died on Thursday
morning, in his 29th year, of a complication
of diseases. Mr.. Taylor was native of Bal
timore, but had attended Western Maryland
College during the years 1887 and 1888. he
was, therefore, well-known in this city, where
he has since occasionally paid official visits IN
the interests of the Epworth League, OF which
he was an active member. Having early IN
life connected himself with the Methodist
Episcopal Church he grew to be one of its
most useful members. He was also secretary
of the Local Preachers Association. Mr..
Taylor's father died when he was but boy,
and upon coming to manhood's estate he
assumed the care of the family. Truly could
it be said of him that to the remaining chill
dren he became father. Until his marriage
he devoted his entire time to their interests
and the children came to look upon him as a
parent Previous to his leaving Baltimore he
was draughtsman for the firm of Crook,
Horner Il Co., hardware dealers. His wife
died about month ago. He leaves daugh-
ter, aged about four years, a mother, four
brothers and two sisters.
Mr.. Taylor was young man whose moral
character was above reproach, and none knew
him without being impressed with the bright
ness of his face and the purity of his life.
Truly may it be said of him that he was dill
gent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord Foremost in all of the church S
interests he became leader among her mem
bers. He was possessed of that rare degree
of sociability which, drawing friends to him
by the score, made his efforts in all branches
in which he worked decided success. In
bic death tho community in which he lived
loses a most faithful Christian worker and the
church at large one of the grandest of young
men.
His remains were taken to Baltimore city
for burial. The deceased was member OF
the Junior Order of American Mechanics and
Messrs. Grant Franklin, Eli Butler, j. Wes-
ley Yinglng and S. P. Bair, of Westminster
lodge, accompanied the remains to the depot
here as pallbearers.

MEssRs. EDITORS The following, from a
recent issue of the Philadelphia Times, is as
applicable to Westminster as that city, and |
hope you will give place to it in your columns.
Parents, read it. know you think that no
harm will overlake your child, but the way
too keep the children pure is to not to allow
them to go in temptations path. Remember
the old adage-''We first abhor, then pity,
then embrace. A MOTHER.
A letter lies before us, written by q mother
who is most concerned for the welfare of the
growing girls of the community, aed who asks
the editor 10 say few words against the pop
ula1 but pernicious habit these youthful feml
MES have of promenading the streets after
dark, either with companions of their own sex
or with boys not one whit more matured IN
thought and action than themselves.
1t almost seems as ii this letter represented
some sort of metal telegraphy between This
unknown correspondent and the writer, for it
was only few hours before the letter arrived

we argued, ITO allow their pretty, innocent
daughters such license? A license that pa!es
their moral sensibilities, makes them coarse
and common and debars them from the real
pleasures of young womanhood when they
actually reach that point in years.
The boys who flirt with them now will
grcEw into manhood possibly unhurt by the
reckless freedom they enjoyed in the days
when cigarette and Sunday evening stroll
on popular thoroughfare meant the widest
kind of dissipation; but what will they think
of the girls who were wont to frequent the
same streets and respond to their would-be
witty remarks? They will not be the com
panions chosen then. There will always be
a little faint of memory connected with them,
and though not day older in reality than the
debutantes to whom the men gladly devote
their time and attention, they will seem passed
by comparison, and somehow not as danny
and desirable as those girls who have been
carefully sheltered until they have reached an
age when their own good sense will prevent
them from falling into acts ofindiscretion that
they would always criticise most harshly and
harbor against them through all time.
"The streets after dark are not good places
for urchaperoned girls. On the surface
there may appear to be no harm in the early
evening walk, but there is, and the parent
careful of the chld's reputation should put a
veto upon these idle saunterings.

aims of the order, stating that whilst each
member, by his monthly pittance, provided a
safe fund out of which helpless widows and
orphans were benefited, the highest purposes
and aims of the order were to be found in its
