Uncle Ned's Notes.

Some one has said read more and
write less. Well, perhaps he is mighty
right; doubtless we should write all the
better for it, but it seems that less writ
ing means less reading. II all stop writ
ing then there would be less to read and
we should all have to agree with the old
critic who said that there was but four
things worth living for, viz: Old wood
to burn, old wine To drink, old books to
read and old friends TO converse with.
We think he might have added the good
old housewife to darn the decayed stock
ings with her ancient spectacles ON her
aged nose, etc. At least, the great Solo
mon, proverbially speaking, did not ex-
clude her. My young readers it is said
that the pen is mightier than the sword
The eloquence that flowed from the pen
of our revolutionary heroes spurred men
on to battle and To deeds of valor and
won for US the freedom which we have
since enjoyed. And let US thank God
that our country is at peace with the
world and we hope that arbitration will
ever be the way Of settling all disputes.
Life is a warfare upon earth says the
great man of patience and we may ex-
pect nothing less, at least, until Moses
shall come to deliver his people out of
the land of bondage.
Ladies don't forget about the ball.
Uncle N. hats will be worn about that
time and you can't get to the promised
land without one. II Uncle N is alive
he hopes there will be some trees around
for that occasion as he will have to play
the part of Zacheus You all know
that he is a very small specimen of hu-
manity.
The patrons of Cedar Point school we
learn are very much pleased with the
manner in which the pupils ali acquitted
themselves at the commencement of
Monday last, 18th inst. In other words,
the untiring efforts on their teachers
part were covered with success.
An accidental shooting took place
since my last writing between two colo
| red youths-Albert Chase and Richard
Chapman who we hear is lying danger
ously i'll at the hospital in Baltimore.
| We think that the law should be more
rigid.y enforced in regard to the carry
ing of concealed weapons We are told
that il was the unfortunate boys own
pistol in the hands of the other lad that
did the mischief, which will probably
result in his untimely death.
Mr.. +. Joy, the photographer, has
pitched his tent near Wible's shop and
we hear is giving general satisfaction in
his line
We no longer see the balmy breezes Of
spring sweeping DER the fields of golden
grain. The new Mccormick binder has
done it well; has leveled all the great
and the small. The pruning knife of
time Is waiting for us. We shall lie
down together TO rest-others will spring
mp to take our places-and harvest time
will come again.
Good men, better men. best men. il

TRAPPE, MD. June 81, 1897.
Messrs. Editors u. G.. Holland in his
Bitser-iS,eeet asks, "who can tell what
baby thinks" Well, sirs, there was q
political meeting at the Hall, this place,
ON the night of 10Th instant, and the
manner in which thoughts were express
ed in boisterous words, leaves no doubt
in our mind as to what some large ba-
bies think of democrats and the princi-
Piles they advocate and support at the
ballot box. Nicholas Biscoe, formerly q
seryans of Aleck Loker. Esqr., of your
town, was very pointed in his remarks
His denunciations were enthusiastically
received and vociferously cheered by the
| colored present. He advised his colo
red friends to let the democrat party
severely alone, Il am here" he said, to
warn you of impending daRger-to
arouse, animate, awaken and strengthen
you in power of working continually
for the success of the republican party
Past experience is means to assist to
keep US in the right path, and that path
is to vote solidly first and last and all
the time for the upholding of the prin-
cibles which underlie the great and
heaven favored republican party"
Others speakers were present and Co
lumbus Smith delighted his hearers with
some wholesome republican advice and
that his mind was trained for a higher
purpose than to vote for a democrat.
Ed. Tennison, Esqr.. was called upon
To speak, but he politely declined The
general sentiment of the meeting was,
to work, to keep wide awake-the two
great factors in promoting patriotism
for their cause More anon.

Quincy, democrat, was reelected yes
terday by decreased plurality over
ex-Mayor Curtis, his opponent of two
years ago, although the city went re-
publican at the state election last
month. The attempt to split the
democratic vote in the city by vigor-
GUS work on the part of Thomas Riley,
running as an independent silver
democrat, proved futile. His rallies
were crowded and his audiences APP
parently intensely loyal, but less than
5000 voters supported him at the polls
The total vote for mayor, with one
precinct missing, is as follows: Quincy
(dem.), S9,7O7; Curtis (rep.), S5,741;
Riley bryan dem 1883.
Mr.. Quincy was originally repub-
lican, but became a democrat on the
issues Of recent years He is one OF

years. He is, moreover, the repre-.

the government, and he is man of

New York Sun Says More "SurvlvOrs" Are
Drawing PensiOns Than There Were Real
Veterans. ~
New YORK, Dec. 29.-In a review Of
the operation of the pension bureau,
the New York Sun stated that there
are more alleged survivors Of the war
sof the rebellion actually drawing pen.
sions than were actual survivors Of
the struggle. The total of pensions
,on account of the war of the rebellion
is, according to the report of the PEN
sion commissioner, 947,542, of which
s65, $3.50 are children and 1859 are de-.
pendent fathers, mothers, sisters or
brothers. Deducting these from the
total, there remain 1854, ia survivors
and widows drawing pensions, or 49,.
"745 more survivors" and widows"
than there are actual survivors and
widows, who, under any circumstances,
could legally draw pensions. The
pension rolls show that 1888, 527 persons
are drawing pensions from the govern.
ment as the survivors of the war OF
the rebellion. That is 6, 4O5 more Sur
vivors" are drawing pensions than
there are actual survivors.

Wives of the Tnrrntine Indians OEs
Ennixe the Wa-bn-nO-ISi.
Wa-ba-na-ld is the name OF a WON.
ans club in Maine. All the members Of
this organization are squaws and be-
long to the Tarratine tribe, the rem.
nant Of which lives on Indian island, In
the Penobscot river, opposite Bangor.
The members are nearly all pure In
dlans, but not the kind of greasy old
women, with red shawls over their
stout shoulders, and odors more numer-
GUS than pleasant emanating from
their bodies, A picture Of the Tara
tine type hangs in the receptlon-room
of the Tarratine club in Bangor, and is
dedicated to the red and unwrinlSlel
dame who posed for itr--Molly Molasses
who died Mt the modest age OF 100
years, according to the traditions on
Indian island There are other squawa
as dark Of skin, eyes and hair, but grace
full, self-possessed, agile In movement,
fluent in speech, and who speak pure
English. Prominent among this class
is Mrs. Martha Nlcolar, Of Old. Town,
or, more properly speaking, of Indian
island. She is the wife Of one of the
leading men Of his tribe, Horace Nico-
lar, and is the first president of the
Wa-ba-na-M club, of which dozen Of
her Tarratlne sisters form the mem
bership.
Mrs. Nicolar, the clubs first presi-
dent, is descendant OF high Indian
blood, while her husband comes from
equally pure Tarratine stock. The
Soccabasins came straight down from
old Peter SOCIALISM,, who, at the age OF
100, wandered away from the island
and persisted in the great north woods
before he could be found. 10 Nicolars
another father of club women, was tho
historian of his tribe, and constant
opponent of marriages between girls
of the tribe and white men. In spite OF
him the young folks have welded where
they would, and some of the white
blood is in the Wa-ba-na-h club to-
day. This club will do q great work
for its tribe. It's first purpose Is the
establishment of an industrial school
on Indian island, and they will hold a
sale soon in which their own handiwork
will go to swell the fundwhich is to be
put into the new institution. The club
members have a deep appreciation OF
their mission. They are fully awake to-
the need of reforms in the social con-
dition Of their people. Besides setting
the club work a-going in the tribe these
women win apply themselves to the
collection Of the history of the Tara
tines.--Chicago Chronicle.
