John R. McLean's
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit. :.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
so cents a year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret Of such
success, MIR. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. BY
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the management
serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.

Meeting Of Trustees.

\ meeting of the trustees of the Mary
land Agricultural College was held Friday
afternoon at the college building. Among
those present were Wilmot johnson of
Gainesville, who presided; Charles B. Cal
vert of Prince Georges county, Allan
Dodge of the District of Columbia, Charles
H. Stanley of Laurel, David Seibert of
Washin gton county, Charles H. Evans of
Baltimore county and W. Scott Whitford
of Hartford county. Governor Lowndes,
who was to have presided over the meet
ing, was unable to attend.
The board ordered that the president of
the college enter into contract for the
establishment of telephone communication
between Hyattsville and the college.
Prof. W. G. Johnson, state entomolo-
gist, and Robert H. Miller, director of the
experiment station submitted their reports.
The board officially extended its thanks
to Mrs. Riley, widow of Dr. c. o. Riley,
the distinguished entomologist, recently
connected with the Agricultural Depart
ment, Washington, for her gift to the col
lege of number of valuable volumes on
entomology.
The board discussed the problem of OBJ
tanning a good water supply. So far the
attemp. to strike water by means of an
artesian well, which has been bored about
300 feet, has proved of no avail, and seri
Gus doubts exist as to whether the water
can be obtained The board decided to
have recourse to dynamite, and this failing,
the attempt will be abandoned.
After the transaction of some further
business, the trustees inspected the build
ing and grounds, and later partook of n
bountiful dinner.
The committee, composed of w. Scott
Whitford, Charles H. Stanley and David
Seibert. recently appointed to secure need
ed legislation also met during the after
noon. The matter of legislation was dis
cussed at length and plans for securing it
were mapped out.

\ Tribute of Respect.

At IA meeting of the Nestry of Trlnit,
Church, this Town, held on the 10th inst.
the following resolution of respect, pre-
sented by Rev. Mr. Sontag, was adopted
/ " IEREAs, it has pleased Almighty Goo
in his unerring wisdom to remove from Il:
our esteemed brother and fellow vcstry
man, Mr.. Ignatius S. Wilson,
Be 1t Resolved, That whilst we mourn
the loss of one so long knit to us by tie:
Of love and friendship, we recognize the
hand of a Providence who doeth all things
well.
In the death of Mr.. Wilson our comma
nifty has lost one of its most honored and
valued citizens, journalism one of its most
brilliant editors, society a popular and at
fable gentleman and the Church Il mCst
devout worshipper and liberal supporter.
In the vigor of his manhood ere yet any
token of disease or premonition of death
made itself felt, he consecrated himself to
God Humbly and with the simplicity of
little child he knelt at the holy chancel
| to receive the solemn rite of Confirmation,
| and ever after was a regular commitment
not ashamed to publicly profess the reli-
| gion which he cherished.
For ten weary months he patiently en-
dured indescribable sufferings, but his
faith was ever steadfast and his hope Sc
rene. In his Christian fortitude which he
so signally manifested we find beautifully
illustrated the peace viii CHI passeth all I'M
derstanding In his readiness to depart
and be with Christ he evinced that tran
quillity of spirit which led the patriarch of
old to exclaim: "The eternal God is my
refuge and underneath are the everlastin g
arms"
As vestry we shall ever miss his genial
presence, his rare business qualities, his
wise counsels, his example of church 10y
atty, his zeal in things pertaining to God,
his ready and generous response to the
needs of the Church. May the God of all
consolation minister grace and comfort to
the bereaved wife and son and to all who
mourn his departure, shedding down upon
them, ''amid the encircling gloom Heav-
ems own cheering radiance.
In the sudden death of our brother we
are admonished that the time of our earth
ly sojourn is brief, and we too must give
account of our stewardship. Let us,
therefore, work while the day lasts, re-
deeming the time, so that when the shad-
ows lengthen and the evening comes and
the busy world is hushed and the fever of
life over and our work done we may enter
into the rest which remaineth for the peo-
pie of God.
May we all some day meet him on the
shore of that
Fair immortal sea
Whose whIte-wnged fleets touched
With light from celestial shore.
Whose vOyagers have learned
The songs and shouts Of victory,
And stretch out dear familiar hands
TO lead us to supreme eternal lands
