Harmony Castles Ninth Anniversary.

Harmony Castle, No. Is, Knights
of the Golden Eagle, of this town,
entertained a number of friends on
last Monday evening. About 125
members and guests were present,
including a large number of lady
friends, and the affair was pro
nonnced by all to be an unqualified
success, rejecting much credit upon
the Sir Knights. Through the
kindness of Excelsior Lodge, the
guests were assembled in the Odd
Fellows room and there enjoyed
and interesting literary and musical
program. Rev. S. J. Morris, D. D.,
opened the exercises with prayer,
which was followed by a violin solo
by Eugene Conner, accompanied by
Mrs. Mary Wright on the organ.
DR.. Morris gave a very interesting
talk, and although not notified be
fore hand that he would be called
upon, proved equal to the occasion
when asked to address the audience,
and his remarks were listened to
with much interest. Other musical
selections were given by Jerome e.
Brumfeld on the violin, FL. Linn
Worthington on the banjo, aud by
the Rising Sun Cornet Band. Sir
Knight W. K. Terry, read a negro
dialect sermon ON "Vanity," and
Sir Knight Ell. j. Effing gave an
interesting talk on the benefits of
the Order. DR.. Norris and Bro.
Effing's addresses were supple
mented by Bro. Ewing in regard to
the Ladies' Temple feature; which
is an adjunct of the X. G. II. The
program was concluded with a
delightful soprano solo entitled
"Fancies," by Miss Rhoda v.
Wilson, Miss Mary L. Worthing-
ton, accompanist.
Chairman Mcclure then an
nounced that the Castle hall adjoin-
ing was in readiness for comforting
the Fourth Degree and invited the
guests to assemble therein and pre-
pare for the ceremony. The para
phanalia used in comforting the
degree consisted of strawberry and
vanilla ice cream, about twenty
kinds of cake, bananas and
lemonade, and the guests stood the
terrible ordeal without a murmur.
Harmony Castle has about so
members and wants more. Long
may she wave!

Turkey demands as the price OF
peace an indemnity of $50, 100000
a Encouragement of the Greek from
tier, cession of the Greek fleet to
Turkey, and the settlement of the
Cretan question.
The note of the Powers setting
forth that upon the declaration of
Greece that she will recall her
troops from Crete and formally
agree to an autonomous regime for
that island, and accept the counsels
of the Powers unreservedly, they
would intervene in the interests of
peace, was presented to the Greek
Ministry Tuesday. In acknowl-
edging the receipt of the note the
Greek Government reiterated its
acceptance of the terms. The ne
gotiations at Athens are now re-
garded as concluded. The Am
bassadors at Constantinople have
been instructed to approach the
Turkish Government to ascertain
Turkeys terms to declare peace.
The war expenses of Turkey are
estimated at $685. 100000, which
Greece will promptly pay as indem-
nifty.
Turkey, it is reported, has or
dered the mobilization of the re-
serves stationed at Bagdad and in
Syria, and also the immediate des-
patch of fifty battalions to Konieh,
from which point they will be taken
to Ismeed in Asia Minor. These
preparations, it is thought, indicate
that Turkey is getting ready either
to confront a more formidable foe
or to place herself in a position to
ignore the Powers and their plan of
mediation.
The Greek Commissariat has col
lapsed. The only rations now
received by the soldiers are bread
and cheese.
The Athens correspondent of the
London Chronicle says: Crown
Prince Constantin left Larissa
because he believed the exaggerated
reports of danger to his forces. 1t
is a fact, however, that on the
evening of the retreat Edhem Pasha,
despairing of breaking the Greek
lines, had ordered his army to retire
to Elassona, while the Sultan had
despatched a special commissioner
to the Greek Government with
overtures for peace.

A prominent western newspaper recon-
mends flax seed tea as an excellent
remedy for whooping cough. 1t may be
good but it is not to be compared with
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
preparation will allay the violent fits OF
coughing and make them less frequent
and less severe. 1t also liquefes the
tough mucous, making it easier to expec-
torate. Complete recovery is much
quicker, too, when this remedy is given.
There is no danger in giving it to small
children, as it is pleasant syrup and con-
tains nothing injurious. For sale at rs

A Controversy Between County and
School Commissioners.

The county commissioners of
Cecil county and the school board
are at present engaged in contro-
versy over sum of money, amount
ing to 81, 3S9.71, which has been
paid to the board by John S. Writ,
administrator of the estate of
Bridget Mckay, under an order of
the Orphans Court. The county
commissioners claim that the said
fund is due them by virtue of an
agreement which they alleged was
made with the school board when
they advanced the sum of $1,000
several months ago, the board OF
school commissioners agreeing to
repay the advance with this fund.
The school commissioners denied
this agreement. Mr.. Austin
Crothers, as counsel, advised the
county commissioners to retain a
sum equal to the Mckay fund from
the amount levied for school pur-
poses. Mr.. George A. Blake,
president of the school board,
officially notified Mr., Steele, presi
dent of the county commissioners,
that the school board would require
the full amount levied for schoo
purposes. 1t is likely that litiga
ton will follow.
Bridget Mckay died, leaving 6
sum of money and without any
known heirs. Mr.. Crothers, how
ever, in behalf of Mrs. James Brad
ley, filed a claim in the Orphans
Court to the estate, she claiming tt
be a distant relative of the deceased
Mr.. Crothers consented to the aware
of the Orphans Court under the
impression that the money would
be paid to the county commission
ers, and there, by a special arrange
ment, his claim would be satisfied

Politicians are beginning to talk
primary meetings, and to discuss
the eligibility and non'eligibility
of the nondescrept party called
"gold democrats" who left the
party last fall to help NrcKinley's
election. Some of them for APP
pearance sake voted for the two
fossils, Palmer and Buckner. The
concensus of opinion is, as far as we
have been able to learn, among the
regular party organization, that the
"gold democrats" so-called, will be
ruled out and not allowed to vote
at primaries, as they hold nothing
in common with the democrat party
and everything in common with
the republican party.

First a Mole,
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter
ror in it's path as Cancer-and we'll
may this dreadful affliction be reg gardcd
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
life's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is powerless,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resortiug to the knife for
a cure of this terrible disease. Cam
Ger is in the blood, hence il is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In nincty-nine cases
out of hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
1ignant than before. The same is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means of caustic plasters, etc, and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is a cure for cancer-one
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and removes it's cause. S. s. S. is the
only real blood remedy, and cures cam
GER and ali other blood diseases, even
after other treatment has failed.

and that he has sold during the past six

SCOTT DIsposEs OF AN OLD CASE.
HOrbach's Appeal from Decision of
Appraisers IL Sustained.

HOrbach's Appeal from Decision of
Appraisers IL Sustained.
The case Of Horbach and others against
the city was called and disposed of by Judge
Scott yesterday afternoon. the decision being
in favor 1of the plaintiffs. This was one
Of the old cases on the court docket, having
originated some years ago and at the time
when the city opened North Thirteenth
street from the alley north of Nicholas
street to the south line of Paddock Place
After the street had been opened, the city
council assessed $4,000 of benefits to the
abutting property, the most of which was
owned by Horbach. At the same time the
council found that Harbach's property had
been damaged to the extent of $12, ,00O Hor-
bach appealed from the award of the ap-
praisers and thus the case reached the
courts.
In passing upon the case Judge Scott held
that before the city can take property for
the purposes Of opening or widening streets
or alleys it must tender or pay the money
assessed aa damages which in the Horbach
case had not been done. He also held that
in opening a street through a mans land
the city could not assess benefits on the
same land, portion Of which had been
taken for the street, as it was too much
like taking money out OF one pocket and put
ting it into the other.
