The Lutheran Sabbath School of this
place celebrated Luther day on Sun
day evening last. A good program
was rendered, consisting of recitations
and singing; Rev. Remsburg was pres
ent and delivered an address. A large
crowd was present and enjoyed the
evening.
Loafers are becoming very numerous
in our village during the past few
weeks, and it would be good idea, we
believe, for parents to make some
amusement at home, which would
keep the children there during these
long winter evenings, and thus prevent
their boys from becoming constant
lOafers.
Much excitement was aroused i'm our
village on Sunday last, when it became
known that man who had come here
on Friday evening previous, from
Pleasant Walk, and stopped with
Jacob Hoover over night, had left a
horse and buggy hitched to tree in
the mountain near the Black Rock
spring and that 1t was still standing
there. Several men started to hunt
the horse, but found some Washington
County person had taken charge of il.
After having Mr.. J. H. Maugans
cash check for him Saturday morn
ing, the stranger started through the
mountain for FoXville. We were told
since that the team he left in the
mountain was livery team, hired in
Hagerslown for few hours, and there
is 500 reward offered for the mans
capture. The top of the buggy was
found several miles away.

The Haffner Combination Win the
First Round.

In the first contest for position as to
the real Republican leadership of the
county after the the election, DIR. Half
ner, Messrs. Eichelberger and Kinks,
with number of influential Republic
ems of the county districts prove that
they will have a hand in the future
management of their party. The fight,
which has been going on since the elec-
ton to control the organization of the
Commissioners terminated on Monday
last in favor of the Haffner combina-
ton. Mr.. Norman was made chair
man of the Board, Judge Motter, with
his combination being in favor of Mr..
Dean. This will enable the Haffner
faction to make the appointments
throughout the county, including the
Board of Charities, road supervisors
and many other places Considerable
feeling has been shown over this fight.
Let the new Commissioners make a
first.class Board of Trustees for Monte
vue, get the best men of both parties,
this will do much to prove they are
worthy and competent for so impor-
tant a position. DR.. Haffner was the
recipient of many congratulations from
prominent Republicans all over the
county on Monday and Tuesday last.
The bank deposits was one of the con-
siderations in this contest.

Hawaii will be Annexed.

Hawaii will be annexed to the United
S ates during the coming session of
Congress. This is one of the certain
ties of the session. Senators and Rep
resentatives, both advocates and oppo-
nents, who have thus far arrived in
Washington are practically unanimous
on this point.
President McKinley's message will
strongly urge upon the Senate early
ratification of the annexation treaty,
and it will be one of the first topics
brought up in the legislative sessions.
The ratification will be strongly oppos-
ed by Senator White, of California, and
Others, but they Will be in hopeless
minority, according to the poll of the
Senate made by the administration re-
Gently published. More than two.
thirds of the Senators are counted upon
to vote for ratification.

Thanksgiving day passed off quietly
with us. 1t seems that the rural sec
tions of this country do not realize the
importauce of this festival Some pur-
sue their daily labor; some go hunting;
the purpose of the day is perverted or
subverted; let our people be educated
to more perfect realization of this
event.

Montevue for Our Own Poor.

1t is to be hoped that the Board If
County Commissioners will select first
class board of trustees for our county
aImshouse. Very just complaint is be-
ing made about the class of patients
being received at our institution from
other parts of the State 1t should not
be forgotten that Montevue was built
for the poor and unfortunate Of our
own county. 1t should not lie run as
money-making concern for iucurabes
from State institutions. A wise, liberal
policy should be adopted and first class
men selected.

got into an alteration over a game of
cards somewhere near this place, and
Price was seriously injured by Under
dunk striking him on the head with a
club, causing Price 10 lose one of his
eyes. Underdunk, who is brakeman
on the B. e. 0. r. R.. employed at
Brunswick was arrested at the latter
place and committed to jail in F'reder-
lex. There is second offence charged
against him: AS the Hagerstown train
was leaving this place on the same
evening, some one, supposed to be Un-
derdunk, on the rear of the train threw
stone through the Ticket office win
dow, breaking the glass and sash Mr..
G. e. Fisher, who was sitting in the of
flee at the time, came near being struck
by the missile.
Mr.. w. Tolbert, the popular mer-
chant, and Mayor, is confined to his
bed with an attack Of La Grippe; it is
hoped he will I've out again soon.
Everything is very quiet here since
the ELECTION, and as we were defeated we
bow to the inevitable, aud candor CON-
pels us to say that they (that is, the
Republicans), took their victory very
quiet, but we have this consolation left
to us, that there will be day when
the renegades aud traitors in our good
old party 90 over to the opposition, we
will show them what we can do and
unfurl our banner with a clear record.

THE new German steamship Kai-
ser Wilhelm der Crosse has broken all
previous records in ocean travel be-
tween New York and Southampton,
making on her last trip the remarkable
time of days, II hours and minutes,
this, in spite of delay of % minutes
off Sandy Hook to stand by burning
steamer and two fierce gales, which
she encountered when few days out.
Her average run per hour was %. 50
knots and the best days run was 567
knots. The best previous record was
made by the st. Paul, days and 81
minutes. Had she been steaming to
Queenstown the time would have been
5 days, hours, or hours IS minutes
better than the famous Lucania This
great steamship is certainly the "Queen
ofthe ocean greyhounds."

THE Legislature will convene on
the first Wednesday of January and
organize. No very great amount of
general legslating is projected, but
there are some local matters that will
be looked after by the Republicans,
such as the re-distrirting of Frederick
City and new charter for Baltimore.
1t is also proposed to re.district Hagers-
town. The greatest and most impor-
tant work of the Delegates and Sena-
tors will be the election of successor
to United States Senator A. p. Cor
man. The fight promises to be lively
one and 6ery means viii be used by
the aspirants to secure the majority
vote of the joint assembly.

THE proposed granting of autonomy
for Cuba by Spain is rather tardy az
acknowledgement of the latter's inability
to suppress the revolution on the
island and also that she is anxious to
put an end to the war with a max
imum amount of credit aud financial
reimbursement to herself. We mistake
greatly the sentiment of the Cubans,
if, having carried the struggle this far
at such sacrifice of life and property,
they will be content with anything but
outright freedom.

A Quiet Day at the White House.

The White House was unusually quiet
on Thanksgiving day, it being very
much like a Sunday. Some of the ex-
ecutive clerks were in the offices at
tending to the mails ana correspond
ence, which was pressing, but none
stayed all day. and all were given an
opportunity to enjoy part of the hol-
iday. The President also looked over
some of the important work he had on
hand. There we're few visitors during
the day and those who called came by
appointment. The office-seekers were
conspicuous by their absence.
The Presidents Thanksgiving din
ner hour was at the usual dining hour
at the White House, 7.30 o'clock.

The Senatorial Contest.

Messrs. Lowndes and Carey are said
to have entered into a combination
with Senator Wellington as manager
in chief for the Senatorial fight. But
few give any serious thought to the
claims of Gov. Lowndes for a more adj
vanced stride in political honors; his
friends assert, at least, those who once
sung his praises, that the only differ
ence in the Governor as compared with
the days when he was known as Mr..
Lowndes, of Cumberland, is that he
now years a hat sererdL sizes Idrger
than he did before the people elected
him Governor. AS for Mr.. Carey,
he is now occupying a most conspicu-
Gus position in the Cabinet of Presi-
dent Mckinley, an honor richly de-
served and position which he will
fill with credit and distinction; as to
future honors, he will make a danger
Gus rival to the best in the race, and if
elected, would reflect credit upon his
party and upon his State. Mr.. j. V.
l.. Findley, a former Democratic Con-
gresham, but now Republican, will
enter the race, but fee dream of his be-
ing able to secure any following what
ever. Mr.. John Shaw, so long con-
nected with the business interests of
Baltimore, and recently connected
with the b. Il O., will look over the
field and depends upon Masters
aid. Congressman Mudd is saying
little at this time. State Senator
Wilkinson, of st. Mary's, unfortu-
nately controls his county, and besides,
is warm friend of Postmaster Carey.
Mr.. Parran, of Calvert, is not an advo-
cate of Mr.. Mudd, and thus he loses
the following of two of the Southern
Maryland counties; yet Mr. Mudd is
known to be full of resources and will
hardly make known his plans at this
early stage of the fight. The Eastern
Shore as yet has no real candidate.
There is yet dangerous rival to all
who have entered this race. Judge
Louis E. McComas, it is claimed, is
ready to retire from his life position to
enter the Senate. Few men in Mary
land are better known to the promi-
nent Republicans of the country than
Judge McComas; few men in Maryland
are better qualified for the important
position; he is familiar with the details
of national legislation; he is approach
able to all the people; he is competent
in every way; thorough Republican,
an earnest advocate, and would be a
credit to his party and his State. The
Republicans of Maryland would honor
themselves by selecting such a man as
Judge McComas as the successor of the
able Senator from this State. In the
race will also be EX-CongressmanUr-
ner from this county; he is well and
favorably known throughout the
State and in the start would, no doubt,
have the six votes of Frederick County,
with the possibility of Montgomery
joining hands. Senator Wellington
can hardly expect anything from this
county, as the delegates will be under
the control of Mr.. Motter The ma
tional administration would, in our
opinion, be more pleased at the selection
ofJudge McComas than any man men
toned for the position; he would be
able to do more for his party than any
one man in the fight. 1t will be some
time yet before the start for this race,
and some interesting developments
will, no doubt, take place.
