FREDERICK, Md. July /. 1877.
Very recently this city. 'green-walled by
the hills of Maryland" has been expert
encing the annual meeting of the German
Baptist Brethren, better known as Dunk
ards or Thinkers, and sometimes Dunkers.
While there - much to interest visitors to
Frederick City. in poetry and history and
fascinating beauty of landscape and de-
lightful hospitality of people, write as a
transient-no visitor is here for any length
of time before he begins to notice among
the daily country contingent. which Is a
feature of all rural municipalities, odd
looking men, with flowing whiskers and no
mustaches. broad-brim hats and plain
clothes of almost clerical cut, and women,

nets and never a bit of gold or Jewel to
relieve the gloom of their apparel Nat
urally one asks what manner of man is
this and he is at once informed: "Oh,
those are Dunkards," as IL everybody
ought to know that
Everybody does know it about Frederick,

remarks.

Now for a bit of TINKER history.
The sect, of which there are about 100 =
o00 in the United States, had its origin in
Germany in 17Os the founders being eight
Presbyterians and one Lutheran, who, re-
pairing to the river Elder. by Swartzenau.
Were baptized by immersion. and organic
ing themselves into a church appointed
Alexander Mack their minister. They
increased rapidly, and il was not long until
persecution set in. and being driven from
place to place they at last began to migrate
TO America. settling at first in and about
Philadelphia and Germantown. They came
first in 49, and with them Alexander
Mack, who died In Germantown in 1729.
and whose grave is shown to visitors today
in the Brethren's burying ground there

beginning of this Baptist organization is
