Woods on fire i'm Harf,rd.

The extensive woods north and west of
Aberdeen caught fire from the cars on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad about Il o'clock
Tuesday morning. The fire was not noticed
until 1t had gained considerable Roadway.
The dense clouds of smoke soon drew the at
tention of the nearby residents and the fire
department of Aberdeen was called out
Their prompt response soon allayed the fears
of the residents and in half an hour they had
the fire under control. A few hours later,
however, fire broke out in another part of the
woods. This, too, is supposed to have caught
from a spark from the cars, and the strong
wind that was blowing soon famed it into a
dangerous blaze. A schoohouse and four
dwellings were in considerable danger. Al
De ost at the time the blaze was discovered a
terrific gale struck it. and when the fire com
pany arrived on the scene the fire was within
hundred yards of the dwellings. The smoke
was so dense the dwellings were aim ost OBJ
scured from the gaze of frightened women
and children, who ran as soon as the alarm
was sounded. AS the wind continued blow.
ing hard during the afternoon those living
near the woods had to keep up an anxious
watch.

The Mercuries excited much attention.
With long poles they distributed the Declare
ton Of Independence and an ode, printed
dows of the houses. or cast them among the
mighty mass Of population which filled the
sidewalks. After Mr. Morris had delivered
the address on behalf of the railroad company,
they, escorted by two marshals, proceeded to
the pavilion, and in the presence of the veneer
able and delighted Carroll, having presented
the compliments of Mr. Niles, on behalf of the
printers association, requested OF Mr.. Morris
a copy of the address, that it might be imme-
dately published, and spread among the PEG
pie. 1t was politely handed to the Mercuries,
and, in about an hour afterwards, the same
messengers returned, and delivered to Mr..
Carroll and Mr.. Morris printed copies of the
address, with the respects of the craft. One
of the MerCuries was also dispatched to the
valued and venerable commander of the
Union, admiral Gardener, with glass of
wine, who received it, and drank with Mr..
Niles, the head employer of the printers, each
standing in his place
The spade and shovel with which the great
work was begun, was presented to the Rail
road Company by Mr.. Upton X. Maui, who
in his latter years resided at Black Horse and
died there but few wears ago.

WESTMINSTER, April %.
Editor The -Egis l was handed a copy of
your paper by friend of mine, and in pursu-
ing its columns an editorial OF yours struck
me very forcibly upon the resources of Har-
ford county, which consider very timely and
interesting. There is no reason why Hartford
county should not be one of the most pros
porous counties in the State. With fertile
soil and charming climate and hospitable peo-
pie, the wonder to me is that it has. been SO
slow in not making its resources known to
the outside world. Within 80 miles of the
great city of Baltimore, it takes person a
long time to get there by the slow process now
in use, which your citizens has so long toler-
ated. AS long as your county furnishes such
slow mode OF transit in reaching the city, just
so long will you be behind the times. The
residents of your county should demand
quicker transit to our great metropolitan cen
tire. What your beautiful county needs most,
and that badly, is broad gauge railroad. The
quicker the people move in this matter, the
better it will be for Hartford county unless
she wishes to remain as she is now behind the
times With quick transit You will find your
summer boarding houses filled in season, new
enterprises starting, increased population and
your taxable basis increased. Let the people
of Hartford county move in this matter and
demand of the proper authorities frst-class
railroad accommodations, and you will see
Hartford county take her place among the
progressive centres of our State.

An entertainment will be held in the main
hall of the Masonic Temple on Friday even
ing next, May 18th. The object to which the
funds will be applied is the praiseworthy one
of helping to pay the interest upon the certi-
fcate issued by the County Commissioners
for the purpose of building the much needed
addition to the Bel Air Academy and Graded
School. The affair will be conducted by
Misses Blanche F. Archer and Lydia A. Robin
son and the actors will be drawn from the
primary departments Of the school over which
those two young ladies have charge. 1t is
almost unnecessary for us to advise the atten-
dance " our citizens upon this entertainment,
as the pleasant memories of those which have
heretofore been given is a sufficient incentive.
The successful manner in which the pupils
have been trained, and the thorough manner
in which the tots perform the duties assigned
them, have heretofore been worthy of more
than passing remarks, and We are assured
that the coming entertainment will be fully
up to the standard.
The programme will include the following
parts: Cantata, in which Brownies and
Fairies take part; Topsy Turvey concert play,
in one act, entitled 1.-The Ruggles," Drama
in three acts, entitled ''Alice in Wonderland"
written by Lewis Carroll and dramatized by
Mrs. Burton Harrison. The public are invi-
ted to help the good work along.

The Red star Course.

The 6rst of the Red Star course of lectures
given uHae- the auspices of the Friday night
Lecture Club Of Hartford county, was delivered
at the MasGnic Temple on Friday evening by
Hon. B. Howard Hannah, Of Baltimore. The
subject, which was exhaustively treated, was
"Rambles in England" 1t was well Illus
trated with stereoptcon views, and was well
received by an audience which filed the
hall. We think however, if some of the com
,mittee in charge were not so over-zealous ip
the discharge of their duties the course would
DE more popular.

After great suffering, especially for the last
five weeks, which she bore with Christian forti-
tude, Phoebe NJ. Lofin fell asleep in Jesus,
whom she had long trusted as an all sufficient
Saviour. Though born in Hartford, she went
to live in Baltimore when quite young, and

and was never married. a number OF years
ago she made a trip from Baltimore to Brazil.
and for more than year was a resident of

and people was both interesting and instruc-
tive. 1t was the custom of Miss Loflin to
spend several summer months each year in
Hartford among her nephews and nieces, and
these visits were her great delight.
4 The funeral services were held in Baltimore
on Saturday, at noon. DR.. Green, OF the st.
Johns Methodist Church, where the deceased
had been member 40 years, conducted the

always trusting, and among her last words
were 81 have no dark hours" The minister

18th chapter of Johns gospel The funeral

Thus another link is broken in the chain of
life, link that shall make us all think more
of heaven, and the loved ones there. 1t is a
sweet thought to the Chistian that in that
land of JOY and song, there are no tears
May We live close to Christ, and be more fully
prepared to live, then we shall be prepared to
die. Whether living or dying We are Christ's!
'I HAVE NO DARK HOURS !"
What comfort in life's conflict.
When we suffer sorest pain,
Just to feel that Jesus loves US,
And His love doth still remain
Even through the gloom of midnight,
Still defies the darkest powers
~ am sweetly trusting Jesus,
have no dark hours ~
Through the valley and the shadow,
Jesus still illumes the way.
He is only leading homeward,
To the land of endles day;
No dark hours" glory, glory,
Oh, The love of Christ our King!
Sweet the victory over death,
Faith the victory, we sing
ONE WHO LOVED HER.
Lines on Annie WbitefOrd,
who died March 80, 1897, aged three years and
seven months.
How we miss our little darling,
She was the joy of all homes
But an angel came and whispered,
Little Annie. do come home.
Her little chair is empty,
A voice we loved is stiied;
There's vacant place at home,
Which we can never fill.

Haunted I!

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
Hostetters Stomach Bitters. This genial al
teratiVe. while il relieves the bowels and regu-
lates the liver, never, as Il drastic purgative
does, produces violent effects and weakens the
intcstines, 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 tnut
speak, than to endeayUr to coerce nature to a
return to duty. Violent re NEEDLES produce only
u temporary effect, followed by a hurtful re-
action. For Indigestion, malarial and kinney
complaints, rheumatism and nervousness, the
Bitters takes highest rank among remedies of
the philosophic school.
