Curious Facts About March d.

No fears need be felt, by this gen.
Grafton at least, that u Presidents
cannot be inaugurated on the 4th of
March as in the past times on ac-
count of that day happening to fall
on Sunday, as such an occurrence
will not take place until the year
2717. After hal date for 16S years.
week days will be on hand. After
1856 people must wait 81 years be-
fore the Inauguration will be post
poned because of a Sunday 4th of
March. Not TO be too long about it
VIC may say that from 1sS9-our last
Presidential Sabbath as it might be
termed-such an event will occur
but eleven times until 1921 and by
that time most of us will, we hope,
be out of our misery.

The keating Wheel.

The rapid growth If the POPULAR.
ty of the bicycle and the large in,
dustries which its manufacture has
developed are almost phenomenal.
To contemplate the marvellous de-
velopment that has been recorded in
cycle construction in the past few
years makes this development
too wonderful to be true, but we
know it is, and Judging from the ex-
periences of the past, the future
may have a great deal in store for
us.
In speaking of the perfect wheel
to-day we do not refer to depart.
ment store bargain cycles, but to
the peerless samples of mechanical
ingenuity that are recognized as
standard wheels, that have world
wide regulations and sales, and are
known to embody every improve
ment. There is no wheel more fit
ing to be named as a single repre-
sentative of this class than the
Heating, made by the Heating
Wheel Company, formerly of Holy
oke, Mass, but now in larger and
better quarters at Middletown,
Conn. The enforced removal of this
company in order to meet the de-
mands of their increasing trade is
but one proof of the remarkable
popularity of the Heating wheel.
This wheel is the result of eight
years of experimenting, and the val
liable lessons of that time have been
utilized in the production of the '97
Heating, which stands without a
peer in construction and popularity.
This wheel has its individual frame,
as the most popular cycle phrase,
"See that cure" well proves; and it
is also fitted with Heating double
roller ~noiseless chain and an improv-
ed crank shaft. 1t is a beauty in
finish and design and unrivaled in
construction Finance and Com

on Wednesday, at the home of Mrs. l. S.
Wilson, and Notwithstanding the wintry
weather, was not less prompt than usual
in assembling. The members had been
hidden to Geographical Party" and
each one, as requested by the hostess, had
assumed for the occasion some device, by
W itch was suggested a Geographical name.
These names, some of which were so
cleverly disguised as to give no little
trouble, were to be guessed, and of twelve,
Miss Augusta Magruder and Miss May
Hill each guessed ten correctly, and
drew for the prize-a daintily bound copy
of 1rvings rip Van Wrinkle" which was
won by Miss Magruder. After the guess
ing contest was ended, there was some
'elightful music by Miss Mary Bealc, which
vas greatly enjoyed. y part of the regu
lar program had to be omitted, owing to
the absence of the ladies to whom had
been ASST gned the Current Events and
Reading. A new book, just purchased
out OF the monthly uueS, was handed III
by the Treasurer, and it was reported tina,
three others, loaned by different members,
are now in circulation.
This last is generally considered one OF
the most pleasant features of the Club.
The afternoons entertainment beine
over, refreshments, consisting of coffee
chocolate, delicious salad, and the cake
for which the hostess in famous, wer,
served, after which the Club adjourned

Protect the Tcrrapin.

Mr.. J. Olney Norris, State game warden
said Tuesday that the destruction of terra
pin was due to the violation of the law
which provides that no terrapin shall be
sold in the market less than five inches in
length on the under shell. Another thing
is the comparatively light fine imposed by
the magistrates in the counties.
THE pounding of terrapin is not the
real root of the evil" said he, for the
animals sold from the pounds never bring
prices that the natural terrapin controls.
Experts can readily tell the terrapins
that have been impoundcd from those
taken in .neir native wilds The pounds
is, however, the enemy of the terrapin.
They lay their eggs in the sands and
these eggs are Matched by the sun. The
pound takes the terrapins from their
natural bed and prevents their breeding.
The preservation of the species depends
upon proper laws, which should he fixed
at the ne xt general assembly of the Legisa-
ture.
I'm Maine and other States there is a
| law which prohibits express companies
from transporting game out of their bound
aries, and such law would increase game
of all kinds, including the terrapin, in
Maryland"

Law and Order.

The Law and Order Society held a
meeting Tuesday evening in Alcorns Hall,
LAUREL Mr.. Crabbs, from the executive
committee, submitted report stating that
the committee had obtained sufficient
evidence to convict the violators of the
locai-option law and were ready to go
ahead with the prosecution of the cases.
ltr. Charles H. Stanley stated how prose-
outions could be made. He was followed
by speeches on the subject of temperance
and the violation of local option laws by
Rev. T. A. tombstone, pastor of St. Philips
Protestant Episcopal Church; Rev. c. P.
Smith, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episco-
pal Church South, and Mr.. H. o. Emmons
of Hyattsville, grand chief templar of the
independent Order of Good Templars.
The following resolution was submit
ted by Mr. Stanley and Immediately adop-
It'd:
RESOLVED That we Go hereby pledge
ourselves to aid the committee by our
countenance, support and pecuniary assis-
lance in enforcing law and order, believ-
ing the good name of our town demands
it; also, that we insist that the officers of
he town should visit all suspected places
md arrest all offenders against whom
violence can be obtained, believing that
determined effort would soon end the
rotations of the iocal-option law.
