Bel Air as "a Summer Resort.

| To those who contemplate a temporary So
journ in the country, away from the heat,
turmoil and diScomforts of city life, there are
| few places, within reach of the average citi-
zen which afford more attractions at reason
able figures than the town of Bel Air. 1t Is
in many WAYS one of the most beautiful
towns in Maryland, and furnishes an ideal
place of residence. While it possesses many
of the characteristics of the older Maryland
towns, the spirit of modern improvement is
also very manifest, and the neat and handsome
residences located at sufficient distance from
the street to gladden. the hearts of the house
wives, and well shaded from the glare of the
summer sun, present an attractive vision to
those VINO delight in home surroundings.
Within easy access of the State metropolis,
there being four trains daily to and from
Baltimore direct, and the two trunk lines, but
few miles distant, merchants and others
conducting business in the city, could find no
better or more suitable place in which to send
their wives and little ones away from the
noise and heat of Baltimore.
Churches of almost all of the most well
known denominations abound, there being in
town four, the Protestant Episcopal, Metho-
dist Protestant, Presbyterian and Methodist
Episcopal, while short distance off is st.
Ignatius Catholic The graded school,
consolidated as it was with the old academy,
famous for many years as a thorough seat of
education, offers so complete an opportunity
for educational purposes, that pupils are in
attendance from not only all points in the
county, but from many outside. The school
has corps of six experienced teachers and
numbers two hundred and sixty scholars. The
merchants of Bel Air are wide awake, enterpris
ing and progressive, and goods Of all descrip-
tions may be purchased as cheaply and adyan-
tageously as in the large cities. To those who
are fond of driving, or are the devotees of the
bicycle, there are fine roads carefully kept,
(those in the immediate vicinity of Bel Air
being under the charge OF the Bel Air Road
League) leading into charming couutry,a and
furnishing location every few miles for those
pretty little rural villages which prove SO at
tractive to the inhabitants of large cities.
Plenty Of fruit and vegetables can be had
fresh from the garden and orchard, and above
all delightful climate, and pure, fresh and
clear water in abundance The hotels are
well kept and commodious and combine the
activity of places of resort with the quiet
convenieuces of home life. Those who de-
sign a few weeks or days sojourn in the
country will do well 10 investigate the claims
and advantages of Bel Air before they come
to decision.

In MenOriaml.

Died. on Thursday morning, April &c, 1897,
Rev. William Clark Stull, aged 46 years. Mr..
Stull was born in Milford, New Jersey, in
September, 1850, graduated from Lafayette
College in 1876, and from Princeton Seminary
in 1876. Was called to the East Whiteland
Church, Chester county, Pa, in October of
the same year, and served that church until
1886, when he accepted call to Bethel
Church, in this county, which he served until
the spring of 1892, when he resigned on &C
count of failing health and became the pastor
of the Presbyterian Church, of Leesburg,
Florida, hoping that in that milder climate
his health might be restored. In this he was
disappointed, and after four years of suffering
and labor was compelled to give up the active
work of the ministry and returned to Hartford
in the spring of 1896, locating with his family
at Forest Hill. In the fall, acting under the
advice of his physicians, he went to Colorado,
but after a soiourn of about three months re-
turned to his home without being benefited,
and died April 29th.
Mr. Stull was man of fine scholarly attain
ments of modest, kind and sympathetic dis
position, and was greatly beloved by the peo-
pie of Bethel. He was a forcible preacher of
the simple gospel of Christ, earnest and ener-
getic in all that pertained to the spiritual life
of the church, and Will live in the hearts and
memories of the people of Bethel, and his
name 90 down in the history of the church to
be reserved by generations yet to come. Dur
ing his pastorate the present church building
was erected, aud his business tact, mechanical
knowledge and untiring energy, was of in
calculable service to the congregation in that
work.
By his own request he was laid to rest in the
old graveyard at Bethel, among the people
among whom he lived and labored for six
years, and which he loved so well.

Haunted !

The human tenement is often haunted-to
the grievous discomfort of its possessor-by
those malignant spirits, constipation and bill
iousness. But the abominable pair may be
speedily driven out with the potent help of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This genial al
terative while it relieves the bowels and regu-
lates the liver. never, as Il drastic purgative
does, produces violent effects and weake ms the
intestines, On the contrary, the action OF the
Bitters is precisely analogous to an effort OF
nature seeking to resume her proper functions
This furnishes pretty conclusive evidence tnat
it is better to use persuasive means, so TO
speak, than to endeavor 10 coerce nature to a
return to duty. Violent remedies produce only
a temporary effect, followed by hurtful re-
action. For indigestion, maarial and kidney
com plants, rheumatism and nervousness, the
Bitters takes highest rank among remedies OF
the philosophic school.

April Weather.

Prof. George e. Curtiss, of Fallston, is
perhaps the most persistent observer of the
weather in Hartford county From the
record which he has kept he deduces the fact
that the past month has been an exceptional
ly pleasant one. In record which embraces
twenty-seven years, We find the highest tenn
perature to have been $50 April 18th 1896, and
the lowest, 200, April 10Th 1873. Professor
Curtiss has also kept track of the rain fall
during the same time and his records show
that the greatest amount of rain fell in April
1895, being $50 inches, while the least was in
April 1887 when the amount was but 1,2S
inches. Attention is called to the peculiar
fact that during the last twelve years the
month has been generally warmer than for
